HARPER's MAGAzGNE-The last two numbers of
this popular monthly are unusually interesting ones.
That for April gives an outline sketch of a new book
O. travels in Africa, by MIR. W. c. Baldwin, an Eng
lish traveller. If we may judge Of the book from the
sketch. and the illustrations accompanying it, it will
prove quite as attractive as either the account of
Livingstone, Blrth, or other late travellers in that
country. The May number has several beautifully
illustrated articles, which serve TO keep this monthly
at the head of serial literature.
THE DESERTED VILLAGE. '-During last week
the following persons, heretofore considered some

The HENRY BRIGHAM'-This fine clipper ship

the vessel coniscated about a year ago, in San Fran

tioneer, and the price realized was SIS, 900. She

by any means a majority can be obtained
for the Copperhead ticket, no question is
to be raised as to the validity Of the law.
But if not, the question Of unconsttu-
tionality is to be brought out to nullify
the vote. In the next place the com,
mitteemen are advised to call aud con
duet their meetings on "Peace" basis;
that is to say, holding the Republicans
responsible for the war, charging that it
is waged exclusively for the Abolition of
slavery, that it has been wagcd long
enough, and that it must stop. These
recommendations correspond, to dot,
with the practice of the party, but its
professions are sometimes different, par
ticularly when it thinks it can make
capital by bringing out profsssedly war

We trust our Iowa troops will mark
the language of this Circular in which
reference is made to their vote! They
choose their own Clerks and Judges of
the election, those officers make out and
certify the returns Of the votes, and if
partiality is used, it must be by the SOL
diers themselves; yet this Copperhead
Central Committee convey the insinua-
tion that it is a matter of very grave doubt
whether fair play is to be observed, and
whether The candidates of the Copper.
head Party will have honest treatment in
the Soldiers Election! Aud whether
they shall be well treated or not, they
propose to keep the question of the un-
constitu,ional'ty of the law providing for
the vote, in reserve, to be used after the
election, in case their ticket should be
defeated, as it will be.
1t is very likely the leading Cops. will

Coffee Il Powerful Stimulant.

The stimulating effects of coffee were
displayed upon rebel soldier a few
nights since, as follows: A regiment of
McClernard's men were at supper very
close to the fortiticatons. A conversa-
ticn sprang up between the parties on
the east and west side of the works
Fed. 'Halloo, rebs, wont you have
some coffee?'
Reb. NO, thank you, we've got lots
Fed. What have you got:'
Rvt. We have bread, aud meat and
rice. Come over and see. We won't
hurt you
Fed. Il guess your beef amt much fat
is it! (The Confederate laughed in ac-
acknowledgement that his stock belonged
to Pharaoh's lean kine.) Come over
here and we'll give you coffee
Eeb. 'Oh, you We got coffee, have you?
Will you give me some and let me come
back-honest?'
Fed. Yes, come on
One of the rebel soldiers got pcrmis
sion from his officer to come to our lines
for supper. He came over, was well re-
ceived, sat down and commenced on
cup of coffee. Pretty soon his captain
cried out to him, Come back now. You've
been gone long enough
Reb Soldier.-I've only had one cup
of coffee
Reb. Officer. 'Aint that enoush?'
Reb Soldier Hell, no. | must have
two cups. I'll be there pretty soon'
Interval Of five minutes.
Reb Officer. Are you comingY
Reb. Soldier. Yes, pretty son. This
coffee is SO d-n good that | must have
some more
Another interval
Reb Officer IF you don't come imme-
diatc'y I'll report you as desertcr'
Reb. Soldier. 4 guess I'll stay right
here. The Yanks will give me coffee all
the time. You can report and be d-d.'
So the rebel sold his coffee for a prom.

POL1TICs in ONO The German
Democratic organ at Cleveland has taken
the name of Valandigham from its col
umns and raised that Of John Brorgh
for Governor. The editor says, in ex
plana,ion of his course:
Gas will be noticed by OUT readers, we
put to day at the head of our paper the
name Of Mr.. Brough for Governor.
"This is no hasty step; but we have
concluded, alter mature consideration
and consultation with many of our Dem
ocratic friends, to lay aside for the pres
ent party differences, and by the utmost
of our influence to aid to victory the
party that advocates the suppression of
the rebellion.
1.-The disgraceful scenes which few
days ago occurred in New York city prove
that it requires the united efforts of all
good citizens, without regard to party, to
sustain the public peace and order, and it
IS most certainly the duty of every one
whocares for the welfare of our country
to put aside party considerations and to
support our constitutional Government"

Everything is speculation regarding the
positions and purposes Of the contending
armies on the Potomac. The opinion is
Strengthening that a general engagement
will not be had prior to going into winter
quarters. The army OF General MEADE is
vet unprovided with overcoats. Any
demonstrations of the enemy now North
of the Rapidan, is merely reconnaissance
with view to discover the movements,
and learn as much as possible of the in
tention of General MEADE.
The condition of affairs at Chattanooga
is not so favorable as might DO expected,
The army is concentrated and the place
bosieged Half rations of the simplest
army fare are still dealt out as no boats
have yet reached the place, Vast numbers
of horses and mules have died from starv-
alton, as forage could not be forwarded
in sufficient quantities TO save them. In
fact, the railroad and wagon transporta-
ton has all been used in landing supplies
for the army, which could not be allowed
to suffer for the sake Of saving the animals,
and immense loss has cnsued. Whole
regiments of cavalry have been coming
back to Nashville with their arms and
equipments to procure horses, and the
work of renovating them is going on

noticed by every stranger--the beauty OF the
Dublin women The weather was delightful
while we were there, aud on every afternoon,
from one until six, the streets were thronged
with them, so that we had many opportu-
mites Of judging whether they deserved the
many compliments they have heretofore re-
ceiyed. A few of them were coarse-featured
and ugly, but as class they struck me as the
most beautiful women in the world. Their
toilets we're generally tasteful Instead Of
bonnets they wore little round, brimless hats
witha gay pigeons wing for n plume, and
covered their faces 10 the mouth only, with a
vail, whose ends were tied closely over the
masses Of hair in nets behind, They carried
themselves erect, and their movements were
all firm, free and graceful. What possible

hearts and generous hospitality, is, by the pres
ent generation, most worthly sustained.

The ELECTION I'm Ohio.

The Newburyport (Mass) Herald, a
Republican organ, expresses its dissatisiac-
ton at the defeat of Mr.. VALLANDIoHAM
in Ohio. 1t says, nevertheless
"But while we are pleased with the result,
let us not forget that in its defeat the Val
landigham party in Ohio is immensely pow
erful and let the Republican party be care
ful not to add to its numbers till it becomes
a majority 1t sounds large to say that Val-
landigham has been defeated by more than
sixty thousand votes, though it is probable
that if the soldiers had voted at home he
would have been ten thousand votes stronger
than he was But with the army vote against
him, we should remember this fact, that he
received sixteen thousand more votes than
has been given for any other Democratic can
didate for Governor of Ohio within ten years
He received l7S, 900, and taking the five
previous elections, we find that he had 81,
600 more than the Democratic candidate IA
1853 more than the one in lS55--56, 900
over the Democratic vote of 1879, 600
over that of l856-l6,000; over that Of 1861
81 900. Not only this, but he received
more than any Republican candidate ever re
ceived for Governor and enough TO hav'
elected the Democratic candidate over thu
Union candidate, Tod, who was u Dougla
Democrat, iu 1861, His vote was the SAINT

The Herald is right in its assertion tina
the "VALLANDIdHAM party in Ohio is i'm
