heat is oppressive. At Quincy it is cool,
peasant, perfectly agreeable. Times are
hard. Thousands Of men are out Of en-
ployment; wages are down to the lowest
notch, and very little money circulating
Everybody is praying for rain. Cattle
are lying off in the southern part of the
State. Droves Of cattle have been so d
for about the value Of the hides.
The letter is dated August 9TH. The
lieutenant is slowly regaining his health,

OBITUARY.

Departed this life, in this city, Sunday
evening. October ID, Lieut. GEORGE Pol
FORD COBB, Co +, 4lst Wis. Vol. Inf
Aged Is years and 10 months.
A large circle of friends and relatives
are bv this stroke of Providence called
upon to mourn for a youth of most esti-
mable character He entered the service
of the United States under the cal for the
hundred day men; was chosen LIST Lieu
tenant of Co. by the almost unanimous
voice of his comrades, many of whom
were strangers to him, and brought to
this position rare ability, much decision
of character, and great kindness of heart.
He won the love and respect of those
whom he commanded, and was honored
by his superior officers with positions Of
trust, to which it was necessary to bring
intelligence and experience. In every
position he did his duty; he shirked no
responsibility he uttered no complaints
his heart was in his work. This brave,
good boy-so young and yet so true.
But all this character was not the work
of a moment He was fitted for the du-
ties of life by the careful, consistent
Christian training which from earliest
life had been bestowed upon him lie
never laid aside his spiritual armor; he
was a dutiful son of the Church; he
walked in obedience to the law Of that
! Divine Master in whose service he had
/ enlisted and whose faith he confessed he
was strengthened by might in the inner
man; he performed his duty from the
/ truest ana highest motives.
He honored and loved his parents. He
was a kind and afectionate brother. He
/ was true to his friends. He feared and
/ loved his God and Saviour
He has gone the way of all the earth /;
| the places that have known him shall
/ know him no more. but " the righteous
shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
The Christian soldier, the dutiful son,
the loving brother, "rests from his la
/ bors''-rests in the Paradise of God
! Chaunt then, his requiem The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away.
Blessed be the name Of the Lord

The San Francisco Election.

kff0m LlH 2au lauC1SEQ bullealu, M&y IL, l.
The election yesterday went of rs quietly
It, nob1e Union victory. The total vote
caet yesterday was l., Ito. This is 257 less
than the Tote Of May, 1868, and 273 less than
that of 1869. Certainly the population of the
city Is growing, thoughits vote decreases !
This proves that the people arc coming to
take victory for granted. General apathy is
the enemy Sun Francisco has most to dread
apathy on The part Of her people.
On the city and county ticket every nomi-
nee Of the people Was elected Of the Su per
visors, the people elected all their nominees
Except In the lat, Sd, and 11th districts,
where independent candidates beat the reg.
ularB. In no case was person on the regu-
lar Copperhead ticket elected, except for
Judges Of Election, one Of which the law
itself requires to be Of the opposition party.
There are to be two Judges to be elected ii.
ways for each district, ye1 but one can be TO.
ted for By each voter. Hence, except where
Independent or Boys tickets were run, a
Copperhead necessarily becomes one Of tbs
Judges Of Election.
TIE result is just about what was antielpa.
ted when The Bu}Atia went to press On Tues
day. The Union people Of San Francisco
are in an immense majority, and when they
wake up to any sense Of the necessity Of
action, they are sure Of victory. The. indie
pendent candidates for Supervisors In the
First, Third and Ninth Districts, could only
have been elected BY good Un1on men. The
Union Tote In the First and Ninth Districts
Was surprisingly large. In the Third, split
Union vote involved no great risk, since the
Copperhead vote there i5 scarcely more than
one to seven Of the Union vote. On the
whole, the day gaye glorious victory to the
united people. Tie reputation Of the city
was beautifully maintained. It stands fol-
another year-and may it stand foreyer-an
example to sister cities, old and young, Of q
municipality controlled By good men, ita
offices occupied by honest citizens, it's
finances economically managed, It's devotion
to the Union manifest to every observer ot

Rebel News by Way Of London,

The Richmond correspondent of the Lon.

confirms the report of the removal Of part
Of the rebel Treasury Department from Rich.
mond. He says:
Upon my return here, I find that the
clerks, male and female, employed in the
clipping and signing Of Confederate Treasury
notes, haye been ordered to report at Colum-
bia, South Carolina, where tho notes are
printed, and that the employees in the Second
Auditors bureau have been transferred to
Montgomery, Alabama, the town in WHICH
the Provisional Government was Originally
organized. This step has been taken, as
learned from the most Trustworthy sources,
In consequence Of the scarcity Of provisions
IN Richmond, which, since the beginning Of
the VAR, bus at once been besieeed citY and
elty Of refuge and resort. Tie deficiency
OF transportation, arising from the deterio-
ration OF the railway lines, and the dcuclcn-
cy Of food in Virginia, arising from the oc-
cupancy OF Important grain growing dis
tIicts by the encmy,. to say nothing Of the
presence here at all times Of q large number
Of Government employees, refugees, visitors
and persons belonging to the army, render it
necessary for the government to practice the
utmost economy in the consumption Of food,
1t is not improbable, therefore, that other
persons connected with its service at the
capital, whose duties can be performed at
one place as well as another, will be sent to
points more convenient to supplies.
