In nRnd Fix.

An old Republican, in conversation
with Democratic neighbor, the other
dny, confessed as follows:
II own that the Republican party is
in rather bad fix. The Democrats
have evidently got majority in the free
States, and if the war turns out unfaVor-
ably they will have a still greater ma
jority On the contrary, If the war is
jhccessful and the South comes back
into the Union, it will be adding that
much more to the Democratic strength.
So let the war go which way it may. it
is death TO the Republican party
Quincy Herald.
This explanation of things probably
explains the present desperation of the
Administration party.

CHICAGO, March 3l.-A special dis
patch from Cairo says: On last We'd
nesday morning, the ramsL Lancaster and
Switzerland under took to run the bat
teries at Vicksburg. AS soon as they
came within range, the Confederates
opened a tremendous fire. The Lam
caster was struck thirty.one times and
her entire bow shot away, causing her
to sink Immediately, turning q complete
SOMERSET as she went down. All the
crew, except. two, escaped. The Swift
zerland ives disabled by a Ga pound ball
penetrating her steam drum. As she
aoated down, the batteries still kept up
FIRE, striking her repeatedly. Finally
the Albatross ran alongside and towed
her to the lower mouth of the canal. -
The loss of life on her has not been as.
certained. ......
On the way up, the Hartford and AL
batross encountered battery at Grand
! Gulf more formidable than those at Port
Hudson. The former vessel was struck
fourteen times and had three men killed.
Both vessels returned the fire vigorously,
and both were nore or less injured.
1t is stated that the expedition under
General Sherman, to Haines Bluff, by
way Of Steele'S Bayou and Sunaower,
had returned to Young's Point
Nothing definite had been received
from the Yazoo Pass expedition under
Ross and Quimby.

New Philadelphia Foundry and

The New Philadelphia Foundry and
Machine Shop, under the firm of English
Helmick & Dixon, is one Of the largest
and best institutions Of the kind in Eas-
tern Ohio. We are informed by Mr..
James d. Moore, their gentlemanly and
accommodating clerk, that they have on
hand and in the course OF construction
about seven hundred Reaping and Now:
ing Machines, all of which will be fin.
ished and sold before the coming har-
vest. They also intend putting up about
four hundred Sugar.cane Mills, for the
coming seasons crop
The Machinists Department, under
the supervision of Mr.. Thomas Lee, is a
business looking place, and serves to re-
mind one of the hum-drum Of city life.
Next comes the Moulding Room, under
the supervision of Mr.. Thomas Smithe-
man. This is the place where the moulds
are prepared to receive the melted metal
for the many different castings. Next
comes the Wood work and Finishing
Rooms, under the supervision of Mr..
Norman Stowe. Here the wood. work
of the machines is dressed and put in
shape to receive its outfit of iron; and
there you hear
The banging Of the hammer,
The whirling of the plane,
The crashing Of the busy saw
And creaking of the crane.
Now comes the Blacksmiths' Shop, where
to see the fires blazing, sparks flying, &c.
reminds one of miniature purgatory
more than
The ringing of the anvil,
The grating of the drill,
y. The believing of the forge
Or whirling of the mill
Now we'll take peep into the Ware

Dear Times Having a few spare me-

This city is full of life and activity; business
is good, and more or less connected with

southern products have already made their
appearance here from New Orleans. Any
quantity of shoulder straps are to be seen
promenading the streets.

be the principal actors in political matters.
The Charcoals are as fana,ical as old John
Brown ever dared to be; they, are down
Oh Gov. Gamble. Gen. Scofeld, and every
body else who is not for immediate eman-
cpation. Some OF the radicals. have become
SO crazy as to advocate a monarchy for
this country or that which amounts to the
same thing-saying that before this war
is closed, they hope to see ALI persons ST.
fenced who in any way oppose the policy
Of the present Administration, even if
it should come to taking heads off, And
in support of their revolutionary doctrines
point to the bloody scenes of France, and
tell you that the Jacobins were right, and
it is the course they hope yet to see adopt
ed here. Let us hope that better counsel,
may prevail.

To The People of McGrecer.

AS there appears to be some nIisapprchcu
sion in regard to the object ofthe special cleo
ton to be holden in MeGregor on the g.
Tuesday Of the present month, at whicl
the question will be submitted of, "Fo
abandonment" or against abandonment
( of the old Incorporation Of the Town Of Nc
Oregon, will submit the following state
ment Of facts. ~ .. .. .-....
The Town Of McGregor was incorpora
tedin 1857, under the general law then ir
force, with limited powers, but as ample a.
that law would allow. The affairs of tn,
Town continued to be administered unde,
its articles Of incorporation up to 1860
when the legislature enacted new and very
liberal law for the incorporation of Cities
aud towns. a .a ..... I.u ..4
It was question of very grave doubt
whether Towns previously incorporated
could avail themselves ofthe provisions oil
the law Of 1860; or whether they derived
their entire authority from that law, OF
from their original charter, or whether they
could 60 to both Of these sources of author
ity. g..ra ...a- .... .. .-a.s-
TO solve this doubt, the legislature in
1852, enacted, that no City or Town previ-
ously Incorporated could avail itself Of the
provisions Of the law of 1860, unless at an
election held for that purpose, a majority Of
the qualified voters thereof, voted for the
abandonment Of the old charter. In
that event the City, or Town became at
once, ia effect, incorporated under the gen.
eral act of the incorporation of 1860, and
entitled to the exercise of all the powers
and privileges therein contained, without
at the same time, relinanishing any Of the
rights that had become vested under, its
old organization. ... ..... .....
Since the organizations of most of the
old Towns or Cities, subsequent legislation
has left them. in a condition where they
can progress in no other way, EXCEPT by
castng.of their old garments and assum.
ing'a new garb. By so doing the rights or
interests Of no individual will be injurious.
ly effected, while the Town will be clothed
with ampler powers, to guard the interests
and safety Of its citizens.
1t was in this spirit that the citizens
petitioned, and the Common Council of Nc
Gregor ordered the question to be submit
ted to the voters, to decide, either ''For
Abandonment" or Against abandon
ment" of the old Charter. ......
