NEw HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
The recent State election in New
Hampshire is most gratifying. The
Union gain is far greater than had
been expected by the most sanguine,
Indeed, those who we're well acquaint-
ed with the great efforts put forth by
the Opposition TO carry The State, had
some fears OF the result. Frank Pierce
and his friends took the field early,
and leh no means untried that could
turn single vote against the Govern
ment. They now see the reward Of
their labors in an immense gain to the
Union ranks. The character Of Frank
Pierce and his satellites is so detcst-
able that their management Of the
campaign has undoubtedly made their
defeat greater than it would have been
il they had stood back and left the task
ofinhuencing the people to men less
unscrupulous aud openly reasonable.
Although the Stale is a small one,
Der election this year was Of great i'm
pcrtauce. II IL the first State election
in the great political campaign ofIS6A
The ball having opened with such
success, we may hope that the last shot
will leave the Copperhead structure
in a state even more dilapidated
than at present. Frank Pierce. who
was hoping to make successful run
against John p. Hale for the United
States Senate at the next election, walt
now probably despair Of attaining Con-
gressioual honors at present. And the
whole party throughout the country,
cannot, after 50 signal a defeat, enter
the coming contest with any hope Of
even making decent stand
against The onward progress Of their
opponents.

PERu. Another Of our soldiers has iallen.
Lauren Russell, one Of our last volunteers,
died at Washington. Feb. Goth, 10 the 10th
year Of his age. He suffered patiently some
weeks from measles, typhoid fever, and, f.
nally, diptheria, being favored the last part
Of his sickness with the presence, sympathy
and care of an afcctionate, anxious
father How few Of our brave, suffering,
dying sons in the army are thus favored
In accordance with an expressed desire Of
bis bis remains were brought 10 his mountain
home for burial May God in mercy hasten
the day when the salvation Of our beloved
country shall no longer require such sacri-
fees, causing SO much sorrow and mourn
ing. Citizen.

On the day previous 10 leaving Bal
time, on my return North, ] had am
interesting conversation with 40 intel.
lgent Pastor Of one Of the churches,
in regard TO the future Of Maryland,
and her cities, as well as the States
further South. He gave it as his
opinion that the South, after the war
is over, will be peopled extensively
from the North. lie said the South
would be land Of widows and orphans.
That the men. would perish in the war,
and their places must be supplied from
other sources. The effect Of this would
be TO alter The whole social aspect OF
the South, and introduce new ele-
ment, the element Of freedom, enter
prise and industry, under the influence
Of which the character Of the country
would be entirely changed. The in
PRODUCTION Of a million or more Of men
into all parts Of the South will reveal
TO thousands the idea Of making some
portion Of il their future home. They
viii become acquainted with its capa-
biIities, be attracted by its iruiifulness,
and discover a thousand localities in
its cities, along its bays and rivers, OF
the most inviting character; and in
the absence of Slavery and the proud
oppressors Of the race, they will feel
that these are the places for freemen
10 occupy, that they may turn a re-
gion which Slavery has cursed, and
war has desola'ed, into fruitful fields
and quiet resting places.
The presence Of the New England
element, is even now distinctly visible
in some Of these localities. Baltimore
at present appears to stranger very
much ike a New England city. aud
from a history Of is schools, churches
ard provision for education, you would

onFuARY--Died IN Manchester Monday morn
Ing IL past 2 March 7sh, ELLA WilsoS, adopted
child Of ksy. James Anderson, aged y years.
The early death Of this young lady, be-
loved for her gentleness, sincerity and true
devotion, has produced peculiar sadness in
the circle Of her friends. All that knew her
loved her, for her native grace Of character,
her intelligent and quick PERCEPTION and
love Of right, her cheerful modesty and her
winning Christian piety. But in her hap

and scripturaI view Of immortal life, this
sadness is mingled with sacred Joy; beliey-

somewhat distressing sickness, she even

some Of the most ludicrous, not 10
say stxaiious, mistakes that occur IN
this world, are found IN the printers
vocation. For these, very slight caus-
es often suffice. The copy il some
times very imperfeelly written. Small
words, greatly affecting the sense, are
left out, or so written as TO leave il
doubtful whether il is but or an
'and, that is wanted. But more FIRE.
qaently the additional use Of q cipher
or a numeral, makes a most frightful
exaggeraiion Of a small fact. Thus
in my last letter, what was rather
blindly written for "between 2 and
5000 inhabitants" was swollen TO
250,000, and all to be accommodated
in about 500 dwellings, making be-
tween 500 and 900 10 each house,
which, as they are not Of very large
Dimensions, would make rather crowd
ed quarters.
After about two-thirds OF the last
weeks edition lad been struck of, the
above error was discovered and COR
rected But a more serious error oc-
cnrred by an accidental omission o.
what was written thus: "From the
tower Of the State House there is a
beautiful view of the surrounding re-
gion, which looks inviting even in VIM
ter. What then must il be in the ver-
nal season, when nature invests her
self with all the beauty Of field and
flowers and flowing streams. Let
Slavery be abolished--let the voice Of
freedom in the Evening Boat Song
sound out over these bays and rivers,
and LEI little Of our New England
enterprise find exercise and expansion
here, and we may believe not many
years would pass without iniusing new
life and ACTIVITY into this dead and an
iiquaied city.
But our time is up. The steamer
on her return trip, has put in for us,
ard we gather again on the upper deck
10 glide over the pleasant waters, to
the place from where we came"
