drums, brass emblems, military and civic
and weapons of war. In the rear of all
this splendor stands the altar of Josh
the wooden god of. the alnfond-eyed idola-
tors. This is square alcove OF carved
and gilded wood, in which sits the awful
Josh himself-a big-paunched China
man with brick-red face, long strips OF
red cloth flowing from each side of his
head, three long tails of black horse-hair
sprouting out Of his chin and the corners
of his mouth, and his person bedizened
with blue, green, crimson and gilt carv-
ings, studded with bits of glass, to repre-
sent his si1all clothes, and high above his
head a brass sun, as if this celestial super
stition had mixed with it bit of Parsee-
e" We were asked to believe while in
this awful presence that Josh, when alive
on earth, stood fifteen feet. welded bat
tle-axe that weighed ton, and one day
killed thirty thousand of his foes. In
proof OF this story we are shown by All
Wee, in a manner that admitted of no
controversy, a wooden battle-axe, highly
carved and gilded, which is an exact rep
resentatioh of the one that Josh swung
with such tateful fury. Under Josh's
august nose blazed several OIL lamps; and
sticks of burning sandal wood and punk,
and braziers of incense powder, sent up
wreaths of smoke, filling the room with
an odor that was rather pleasant after
while Before this alter the heads of the
companies, clad in long blue robes and
black skull caps, appear daily during the
festival, bowling, kissing the floor and
chanting, while the Som Yen and Good
Kim are twangled and drums are beat in
horrid dissonance Hither are brought
offerings of baked and raw meats-whole
sheep and hogs. A record of these is
kept, but with the exception of the left
hindquarters of the baked animals they
are taken away again by those who bring
them. This is an economical form of
sacrifice, and probably does josh as much
good as though his votaries did not save
their bacon so carefully. The religious
ceremonies are soon over (and that is an
other wise economy, though during the
current festival they are frequently re-
tpeated
" 1t is curious fact that the Chinese
do not resent or apparently object to the
presence of Americans during these rites.
Perhaps they are willing to give us every
opportunity to be converted, and desire to
set us an example of liberality and cour-
tesy which we will be long in following"

The Campaign Closed.

As we write we have no definite knowl-
edge other than the faith we have in the
truth of our principles, as to the result of
the campaign, perhaps before going to
press, VIC may have some news, if so we
will give it to our readers AS we have
intimated, however, we have an abiding
faith in the success of our principles, had
we not this faith we would indeed des
pair Of republics having power, virtue or
even ability 70 preserve themselves. New
er in our recollection have we seen a time
when the patriotism of the masses was so
fairly at issue as in the campaign just
closed. A large and heroic army is in the
feld-far outnumbering the enemy, the
Government has all the means within its
control which it requires to prosecute the
war with vigor; the Rebel cause is Ian
gushing, complaints against then leaders
are loud and long. The Mississippi is again
national highway; two thirds of the ter
ritory at frstowning Rebelsway is reduced
by our arms; The military lines that at
one time run through West Virginia and
Kentucky now run through Georgia and
Alabama! The army that once occupied
Maryland is now closely watched in Rich
mond and Petersburg, the army that once
occupied Kentucky is now driven out Of

that the war was failure; that the hun

prosecution are sacrificed not for their

The 18th Regiment.

News reached our borough on Saturday
evening that this regiment had been mus
tered out, and was being paid off; and
that they intended Chose belonging to our
county, to start for home the next morn
ing. Arrangements were at once made
to furnish them with transportation and a
number of vehicles went over to meet them
1t was supposed that they would be met
about Worthington, and that they would
likely be in Butler about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon; with this understanding quite
a number of our citizens went out to
meet them, in carriages, in buggies and on
foot, the advanced guard" soon arrived
but the last of them did not arrive until
late in the evening. They were comfort
ably cared for, and those living at dis
tance were provided with transportation in
the morning, so that they would allbe en-
abed to reach their several election dis
trict in time to exercise that most precious
right-the elective franchise. We made
the acquaintance of the most Of them,
but did not find one of them who seemed
to have any thought Of voting for Little
Mae" They all seemed to think that
they had endured and accomplished too
much to have it thrown away by a miser.
able disunion peace now.
We hope they may live long, in the
midst of their friends, to enjoy the fruits
of their patriotic tolls.

sent terrible picture of affairs in
that portion Of Louisiana within the
lines of JEFF Davis's armies. The
destitution of the. people is represen-

to be staring them in the face. Ono
of the principal causes mentioned for
