four days before his death. I found
him calm and pesceful-his mind as
clear and bis Judgment as sound as
ever IN bis life. He took me BY the

more than few days. He spoke ol
his religious feelings and prospects in
the most beautiful and satisfactory
manner. wish I could recall bis

He said that in public life he had
many enemies; that he had been
wronged. deeply wronged: yet he fully
and freely forgave it all; that before

that he had no malice nor aught 10 his
heart against any man. He had long
been impressed with the importance Of
connecting himself with the church,
but had been hindered from doing SO
by various causes, but now he wished
TO be received into its communion
and to receive the holy sacrament. and

should not be granted. Accordingly.
he was received into the church and

GALLIPOLIS.
THURSDAY. OCT. IS. 1868.
THr ELrcr1oH.-Up to the hour o

TIE ELEcT1oE.-Up to the hour oil
going to press. the election IN Galii-
polls has passed off very quietly, and
without the slightest disturbance
The Brough boys look jubilant and
elated. The Vallandighamers cores
pOndingly detected and dismayed.-
Ia fact they seem ashamed of their
Fty work, and instead Of going up
bldIy like brave, undaunted freemen,
yand voting their sentiments freely. they
hang around the outskirts Of the crowd
at the polls, watching favorable op-
portunity to do what their very coun-
tenauces indicate they know to be dis
reputable. The Union ticket being
printed on yellow paper. and the traitor
ticket on white, it is an easy matter for
the bystanders to decide who is on the
side Of their country. Alas! for the
once glorious Democracy. To what a
depth Of infsmy has it been forced to
descend, in consequence Of the course
pursued by the leaders. How many
will hereafter regret having voted for
Vallandigham on the 18th of October,
1868. Five years from this date, few
will care to own their bantling, and ac-
knowledge that in the hour of their
eountry's peril they preferred party to
principle, and while our brave boys
were daring death in the field, and
barring their breasts to the murderous
fire of traitors in the South, they added
strength to that FIRE, and induced those
traitors to perseVere by casting their
votes for a convicted felon, who boasts
that be never voted man nor dollar
for the war.
The number of votes polled in this
to wnship was 597, Of which we may
safely claim 44O for Brough, and his
maj ority in tie county will not fall far
short Of 700. This is our "guess." -
Who can beat it?

KNoxvILLE.-KnOxville. the seat oI
Justice OF Knox County, Tenn, is stu.
ated on high ground on the right OF
north bank of Holston River, four miles
below the mouth of the French Broad
River, and one hundred and eighty.
five miles east from Nashville. The
population in 1850 was $500; and in
1860, about 5000. The Holston Riv-
er is navigable to Knoxville BY steam
boats of light draught, and the city is
the place of junction Of the East Ten
nessee and Georgia. and East Tennes-
see and Virginia Railroads. Another
railroad was a few years ago COM
menced, connecting it with Lexington,
Kentucky, and various towns in North
and South Carolina. 1t is the princi-
pal commercial place in East Tennes-
see, and was rapidly growing in size
and importance when the war broke
out. Several charitable and education
al Institutions are here located. The
city also contains eight churches, three
or four printing Offices. three banks. a
large car factory. ficuring mill, and
an extensive mandatory Of glass.
Knoxville was settled in 1899, and
received its name two years later, in
honor Of General Henry Knox, Secre-
tary of War under President Washing
ton. In 1894 it became the Capital Of
the Territory, and afterward Of the
State government till the Legislature
was removed to Nashville, in 1917.

SIGEL ON THE WAR. General Sigel
addressed Union meeting in Phila-
deIpbia on Wednesday evening. He
rapidly reviewed the events OF the war
and its successes, and predicted that II
would not be long before all the ar
mics of the Union would be victorious.
The great principles Of self-defeDse
compelled the Government to engage
in this war. No man could tell where
the neutral lines of defense would be
against Southern Confederaey, and
We cannot allow an artificial line. The
only line which can be established and
which will be impregnable is the
ocean. This is the line of defense for
this country, and we must establish
that line cost what it may. The General
continued in the same strain, and ex-
orted the citizens to energy in bringing
the war to a close. This could only
be done by giving confidence and sup
port to the administration.
