MAJORITY OVER ALL.-The total electoral
vote of the United States, including that
of all the seeded States, would have been

has received the vote Of States having 213
electors, SO that if all the States had voted,
and the rebel states had gone solid for Nc
Clellap, he would have had majority of
50 in the Electoral College. We shall

PERsoNAL.--Mr. c. G. Sholes, president,

sin State Telegraph Company, were in town
this morning on business connected with
their line in this State. They have COM

construct a line from Winona to st. Paul by

THE DRAFT IN GEORGETOWN, D. c.

Mayors Office, Georgetoirn. ID. C., Aug. q, 1854.
Those citizens of the town who are subject to
the approaching draft to furnish soldiers for our
army. and who desire to avoid that service, are in
vited to join in the following self insuring
scheme:
Every citizen who is liable to be drafted can de
post the sum of One Hundred Dollars in the Bank
of Commerce. The whole sum deposited will
constitute fund for the exclusive benefit of those
of the depositors who may he drafted
The scheme will work thus Should there be one
hundred depositors. for instance, and only twenty
of them be drafted eighty would be protected
from service by paying one undred dollars each.
while the whole ten sand dollars would be
the twenty who were drafted. With that they
could obtain substitutes or keep the money and go
into service. at their own option.
OF course the real result will be varied from
the here given IS an illustration to make it
more or less beneficial to the drafted parties but
there is this absolute certainty about it, that
every drafted man will get the whole of his money
back with the almost equal oeItns1inty OF mgr
ceiving sum of not lsss than five hundr dollars
In this scheme there can be no ju ggling, no pre-
off upon the unsuspecting. There will Be but two
we'll ascertained parties: those who escape the
draft and lose their hundred dol,rs, and those
who Are drafted and get all the money deposited
by the whole association.
Should this scheme fail o a favorable result, or
work any particular hardship to of the de-
positors the subscriber has in view adjunctive
scheme which will afford the necessary relief with
out any additional costs to the association. For

MosRBY IN FAIRFAX.-A lady who resides
into the city to-day. and reports that Moseby,
with force OF about 400 men camped near her
fathers farm two nights since, and eat up what
little stock Of provision they had. Moseby
boosted that he had quite recently visited this
city, and that he had remained in town for sew
eral hours. We have repeatedly heard of
Moseby's boasts in this respect, and we have,
somehow, been led to doubt the highwayman's
veracity. His statements may, however, be
quite correct, as the feat is by no means impos-
sible, and he has sufficiently strong attach
ments in this community to in duce him to run
the hazard of visit occasionally. The lady
understood him to intimate that he would
make Fairfax the scene of his exploits for the
present.-ALer Journal, 25th.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

WAsHIHeToN, August 26, 1864. )
This Department has been officially informed
that the restrictions hitherto imposed on trade
in the interior markets Of the Moorish edomin-
ions have been removed. BY An agreement
between the Sultan and foreign representative
in that country made In 1861, merchants were
prohibited from going to markets in the interior
to buy wool and cereals, but were permitted TO
purchase only in the markets Of the seaport
towns. This restrictive agreement which par
aIyzed trade, and operated greatly to the pre-
judice Of Christian merchants, has, at the re.
quest of the foreign representatives, been re-
scinded, and no restrictions, other than those
imposed by treaty, are now in force.
