President Lincoln on the Election.
LIBERAL AND PATRIOTIC WORDS.

IiBEkAL AND pAThlOIlC NohDS.
At a late hour Tuesday night Presi-
dent Lincoln was serensded by club of
Pennsylvanians,h headed by Capt. Thomas.
Being loudly called for the President APP
peared at the window and spoke as fol-
lows: ...
Friends and fellow citizens; Even be-
fore / had been informed by you that
this compliment was paid me by loyal
citizens OF Pennsylvania friendly to me,
| had inferred that You were of that
portion of my countrymen who think
that the best interests of the nation are
to be subserved by the support OF the
present administration. | do not pre-
tend to say that you who think so en-
brace all the patriotism of the country,
Int do believe and trust, without per-
sonal interest. that the welfare OF the
country does require that such support
and Endorsement be given. / earnestly
believe that the consequences of this
davis work, If 1t be as you assure me,
and as now seems probable, will be to
the lasting advantage, If not TO the very
salvation OF the country. | cannot ut
this hour say what has been the result
of the election, but whatever it may he,
| have no desire to modify the opinion
that all who have labored in behalf of
the Union organization have wrought
for the best interests of their country
and the world not only for the present,
but for all future ages. | am thankful
to God for this approval of the people,
but while dseply grateful for this mark
nearr, gratitude Is free from any faint of
personal triumph. l do not impugn the
motives or any one opposed 10 me. 1t
is no pleasure to me TO triumph over
any one, but I give thanks to the AL
mighty for this evidence of the peoples
resolution to stand by free government
and the rights of humanity.

New Jersey, and perhaps the little slave
state OF Delaware; grand total, three
states, and q electoral votes. All the
rest, twenty-five states, (not counting
Tennessee or Louisiana,) have declared
for the Union, and given Lincoln and
Johnson 213 electoral votes. TWENTY
TWO STATES to THREE; 2I3 cleo
toral votes to FL. Never was greater
victory at the polls never one more
quietly won, though in the midst of civil
war never one conveying so emphatic
and unnistakable lesson to the enc
niles OF the American Union of all
shades and grades, South or North, at

who won it and who are determined to
save their country at all hazards, at all
sacrifices, and against all foes. .

The following particulars Of the cap
ture OF the Florida, are given by the
officers of the Kearsarge ~
The capture of the Florida was effected
at O'Clock on the morning of the 7th
of October In the harbor of Bahia, and
close up to the city. The surprise was
the most complete imaginable. The
terrain no fear of danger from the Wach-
usett, and everything about the ship
was as still and silent as on board o
merchantmen. l
Capt. Collins aimed to strike the Flor
ida amid-ship, which would almost in
stantly have sunk her, but his vessel
veered and he hit her on the quarter
The blow carried away the mizzen mast
and main yard, which fell on the avn
ing, preventing any one from getting up
from below. So unconscious was the
officer of the deck of the intention of the
Wachusett's Captain, that he sang out ::
You will run into US If you don't take
care |" at the same time calling for q
light. .
Capt. Collins now called out to those
VII bOdiu euC pildtC W SurEtnueT Ut he
would sink her. This demand was re-
piled to by the 1st Lieutenant that
under the circumstances he surren-
dered."
Unprepared as they We're, the officer
had no alternative. In the excitement
of the occasion some pistols were dis
charged, and two guns accidentally fired
from the Wachusett.
They may have struck somewhere In
the city, as the Brazilian Admiral came
alongside and ordered them TO desist
firing. Three men of the Wachusett
were slightly wounded, probably acct
dentally, IA the prisoners from the Flor.
ida declare that not a hhot was fired by
them
They also soy that Capt Morris. their
commander, was on beard The Florida
when the Wachnsett attacked her, and
that h jumred into dingy lying
alongside, and escaped to the shore,
which was only two hundred ward : Off
Half an hour after. the capture of the
Florida. the Wachusett started ont TO
sea with her. When the day broke
Capt. Collins saw side-wheel steamer
towing Brazil ian man-of- war out of
Bahia. and he put on all sail and full |
head of steam and was soon out OF |
sight, and the chance Of interruption.
The Florida is a well-built vessel of
about 600 tons, but she ia little over
half the size, and not half the strength :

CoURTsHIP IN AUsTRALIA.-When o
Young warrior is DESTROYS of procuring a
wife, he generally obtains one by Civ
ing in exchange sister or some other
female relative of his own; but if there
should happen to be no eligible damSel
disengaged in the tribe to which he be.
longs, then he hovers around the en-
campment Of some other blacks until he
gets an opportunity of seizng one OF
their leubras, whom perhaps he has
seen and admired when attending one
of the grand corroborries. His mode o!
paying his addresses is simple and eff
cacious. With blow of his "nula null
la" (war club, he stuns the object OF
his affections, and drags her insensible
body away to some retired spot, whence
as soon as she RECEIVERS her senses, he
brings her home to his own gunyah in
triumph. Sometimes two join in an ex-
pedition for the same purpose, and then
for several days they watch the move
merits of their intended victims, using
the utmost skill in concealing their
presence. When they have obtained the
no"ledge they require, they wait for a
dark, windy night; then quite naked,
and carrying only their jag spears,
they crawl stealthily through the bush
until they reach the immediate vicinity
of the camp fires, in front of which the
girls they are in search of are sleeping.
Slowly and stealthily, they creep close
enough to distinguish the figure of
one of those leubras; then one of
the intruders stretches out his spear
and inserts its barbed point amongst her
thick flowing locks turning the spear
slowly round, some of her hair speedily
becomes entangled with 1t then, with
sudden jerk, she Is aroused from her
slumber, and as her eyes open, she feels
the sharp point of another weapon press
Ing against her throat. She neither
faints nor screams she knows well that
the slightest attempt at escape or alarm
Will cause her instant death, so, like
sensible woman, she makes virtue of
necessity, and rising silently, she follows
her captors. They lead her away to
considerable distance, tie her to tree,
and return to ensure their other victim
In like manner. Then, when they have
accomplished their design they hurry
on to their own camp, where they are
received with universal applause, and
highly honored for their chiyalrous ex-
plot. Occasionally, an alarm is given.
but even then the wife stealers easily es-
cape amidst the confusion, to renew
their attempt at some future period
