Proclamation by,th Governor
"a Of New York. NfNf'

ALBANY, Nov. 2. -Governor Seymour has
issaed the following proclamation:
Ina few days the citizens of this country
are tosexerciss their constitutional duty OF
electiI President and Vice President OF
the United States, at q time when the con,
dItion of our country lexcitss the deepest
interest. ( The questions Of the day affect
the personal welfare of all, and the hsppi.
ness Of their bones, butare Also of . cha
racter to arouse the passions, and lead ia
angry contrpyersies between parties The
existence of terrible civil war, and the as
sertiot, Of the right Of military command.
ers in some sections Of the country to in
terfere with elections, have caused painful
doubts IN the minds Of many with regard
to the free and untrammeled exercise ol
the elective franchise. i therefor appeal to
men of1all political parties to unite with
those holding official positions in their Of
forts to allay undue excitement and soften
the passions 10Th pssty prejudice, and to
avoid all measures Of language which tend
to strife or dis order.
However We mayidiffsr in5our views Of
public policy, we are all alike interested in
the maintenance Of order, IN the presorva-
ton of our rights, and in the promotion Of
the prosperity Of our State. While we do
not agree ss to the methods by which
these ends ara to be gained, they are ear
nestly sought by all. I! IL is certain they
cannot be reached by angry controversies,
di.agreeable suspicious or disorderly &C
tions. fifiiu 44fss.tts EssB tstl
There are no Welt grounded fears that
the tights of the citizens of New York will
be trampled upon at the polls. The power
of the State is ample to protect all classes
in the free exercise of their political du
ties. In doing this the public authorities
will be upheld by good citizens Of all par
ties. There is no reason to doubt that the
coming election will be conducted with the
usual quiet and order. Le~E sl
Sheriffs of counties, and other officers
whose duty it is to keep the peace and
protect our citizens, will take. care that
every voter shall have free ballot, in the
manner secured to him by the Constitution
and the laws. It will be their duty to see
that no military or other organized force
shall be allowed to show themselves in the
vicinity of the places where elections are
held with any view Of meuacing or intimi-
dating citizens in attendance thereon.
Against any such interference they must
exercise the full force Of the law, and cali
forth, if need be, the whole power of their
districts. ,s. ss--....-.- .z.t.--

Tie surprise and sapture Of a part Of oui
picket line on Tuesday night occurred ir
front OF Fort Davis. The men taken blongec
to the 169th and the l11th New eYork re-
giments. 3 They were, for the greater part
new men, and somewhat ignorant of theil
duties, and hence were not so watchful a,
older troops who have been longer On duty
Our men some time ago played the rebels ,
similar trick, and the utmost vigilance has
ever since been exercised on both sides. bu
when the late movement commenced, every
mau.in the ranks had to take his turn OF
picket, and some of these men, tits said
had nevor, even loadeda gun. 1t seems
that the rebels did not carry off a single
musket belonging to our soldiers, Is they
were all found aud brought in by Genera
Peerce's brigade which went out to re-es-
tablish our line. The only way to account
for this, is that their. force was two small
to carry so many extra guns, and that thel
did not have time to return for them. Al
though firing was kept up by both slde'
here, no casualties are reported. Las
night firing was kept up. but the line re.
mains the same az previous to the affsir.
All quiet this morning. We are having
very pleasant weather here.

In one of William Gilmore Simm's poetical
works occur the following rather striking
stanzas expressive of the present state Of the
Church in some of the rebel towns:
The Church, like some deserted bride,
In trembling at the altar waits,
While raging fierce on every side
The foe is laundering at her gates.
No ivy green, nor glittering leaves,
No crimson berries deck her walls:
But blood, red dripping from her caves.
Along the sacred pavement falls.
Her silver bells no longer shine Z
In summons to our sacred home;
Nor holy song at matin prime
Proclaims the God within the dome.
Nor do the firesides happy bands
Assemble fond, with greetings dear,
While Patriarch Christmas spreads his hands,
To glad with gifts and crown with cheer

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Cars Run Of a Bridge One
Hundred and Twenty-Five Fee,
High.

From the Toronto Globe, February TO-
One of the most frightful railway ac-
cidents it has been our duty 10 record for
length of time, occurred yesterday morn
ing on the Grand Trunk Railway, result
ing in the instant death of three persons,
employees on the road. The following
are the particulars of the affair: The
Grand Trunk Railway, short distance
west of the Georgetown station, crosses
over the river Credit by one of the largest
bridges on the road. It is one of the
highest-if not the very highest-bridges
on the road, it being no less than one
hundred and twenty-five feet from the sur
face of the river to the floor of the
bridge. The river at this point is very
shallow, being at this season of the year
not more than two or three feet in depth,
and almost completely frozen over. About
8 o'clock yesterday morning, as No. Is
freight train, from Sarnia, was approach
ing this bridge, it was noticed by those on
the train that an axletree of one of the
rear cars was broken. The engine driver,
on being notified of the fact, at once
whistled "brakes down." but owing to the
ice on the track, and the train being on
the down grade, the train could not be
stopped as quickly as under ordinary cir
cumstances. AT the time the defect in
the axletree was discovered, the train was
within about two hundred yards of the
bridge and going at the ordinary rate of
speed. The persons on the train did all in
their power to stop it. All their efforts,
however, were unavailing, as the train
still kept moving, and in few moments
entered on the bridge. The engine and
the tender and number of the cars passed
onward in safety, but just as the last two
cars came upon the bridge, the coupling
OF the forward one broke. In these cars
were the conductor of the train and two
brakesmen. Immediately on the parting
of the train the last two cars ran off the
track, dashed through the side rail of the
bridge, took an awful leap into the air,
and fell, with fearful crash, into the
river beneath, distance of one hundred
and twenty-five feet They were, Of
course, smashed to atoms, and the three
unfortunate men were mangled in such
horrible manner as to be scarcely distin-
guishable as human beings. Their arms,
bodies, heads, and legs we're cut, smashed
and crushed into one sickening awful
mass of creeping, jellied flesh and bone.
The head of the unfortunate conductor
could, at first, nowhere be found, but after
searching awhile among the ruins, pieces
Of skull, face, and brain, all that now re-
mained of it, were picked up and gath
cred together. There can be no doubt
that the accideut resulted from the axle
tree, as all that portion of the train before
the broken car passed safely over the
bridge. The bridge was not very much
injured by the affair, only few of the
rails and the portion OF the side rail
through which the cars run having been
damaged.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. Is.
The case of Vallandigham, ec parte,
was decided in the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day. The petitioner
asked that writ of certiordri be directed
to the Judge Advocate General for a re-
vision of the proceedings of the military
commission which tried him, the jurisdic-
ton of which was denied as extending to
the case of civilian, the object being to
have the sentence annulled on the ground
of illegality. The Judge Advocate Gen.
eral, Col. Holt, had responded in writ
ten argument, that the court might with
as much propriety, be called upon to re-
strain by injunction the proceedings of
Congress, as to revise by ce7iorari and
reverse the proceedings of the military
authority in time of war, in the punish
ment of all military offences, according to
the usages of all civilized nations and the
power given by the Constitution and laws
of the United States for the common de.
fence and public safety.
Justice Wayne to-day delivered the
now, somebody, whose Name is known to
the officials, but not yet given to the pub
lie, has donated the noble sum of 100000
to erect splendid building for the occu-
pancy of the students. These endow-
ments, all received within short time,
make up, with smaller sums not referred
to, over half million dollars to be added
to the capital stock of Old Yale.
As an immediate result of these recent
benefactions, it is expected that some
great changes will be made in the appear
ance of the college grounds, in the reno
val of old buildings and the erection of
new ones, and New Haven will have the
qualification Of seeing important additions
to the many architectural ornaments of
which the city now boasts.

"LITTLE WIFE,"

COusins-as boy and girl, we watched
The glOw-wOrm and the star,
Made mimic trenches on the sands,
And gathered shell and spar:
We built the snowman in the drift,
We nutted in the park
called her shyly, Little wife,
And kissed her in the dark.
For wears our paths lay wide apart /,
As wideas sun and sea,
And when we met again she seemed
Half strange, half shy with me:
But guests together at the farm,
We soon recalled to life
The memory of those early days,
When she was Little wife"
A whisper at a wedding dance
A blushing, bending face
And then heard the welcome word
That gave ME cousin Grace
That gave me her whose love dispelled
The shadow on my life,
Who lays her hand in mine tonight.
And is-my Little wife"
