The New Hampshire election signifies sew
eral things InOsmuch as the nomination Of
the Republican Union ticket was accompsni-
ed by nomination Of President Lincoln for
reelection, the election Of that ticket may be
fairly regarded as declaration Of the people
in favor Of the President. Inasmach as the
vote was full and the majority some thou
sands more than was estimated after a very
careful canvass, It is certain that many demo-
Gratis must have abandoned their opposition
and voted for the Administration. As an IL
iusuation Of that, the Manchester Mirror
quotes the complaint Of Democrat, that, af-
ter " they got home a lot Of men, at great
expense, they bt'eked The torong ,oog." Again,
as Ne~ Hampshire has about fourteen thou
sand men in the army, who did not vote,
three-fourths Of whom sre reckoned as Re-
pubhoans, the future political standing Of the
state is pretty well assured. And still again,
as the Legislature is all right, the election Of
a Republics Union man to the United States
Senate may be surely counted upon. On the
whole, the New Hampshire men have exceed
ed the highest expectations, and they are We
~ happy about it. The Manchester Mirror
heads the election returns with bit Of poet
ry which is keenly sharp on snakes;
- The mower mows on though the adder may writhe,

Uncle Sam received from Vermont on tax
es, for the year ending June 80, 1868, $780,
2l2 for business licenses, and only sl92 for
silver plate. That looks like thrift rather
than extravaganza. In confirmation we will
add that, on the draft, Vermont paid about
half million of dollars as commutation mo-
ney.

the situation Of military affairs He spoke
in the highest terms of Gen. Sherman's expe-

Gen. Sherman hss destroyed provisions and
forage enough to subsist the rebel army from
three to six months. In one plsce Gen Sher-

The Lecture Of Wendell Phillips Of Boston
at Washington Hall. last friday evening,
on the subject Of Reconstruction, was attend
ed by an immense audience. The speaker
was very happily introduced by Hon c. W.
Willard as the Champion Of Human Liberty
in America, and the Lecturer was received
with applause. Very few speakers in this
town have ever drawn out SO large a number,
and had their riveted attention for on entire
evening secured by more powerful eloqaence
than that Of this American oratof Mr.. Phil
lips lecture, substantially that delivered in
the city, has already been fully reported and
needs no attempt by us. Very wisely, we
think. the speaker omitted some points, which
have proved distasteful to the patriotism Of
the people elsewhere. We saw nothing de-
signed to inaame the passions Of any one up
on the grea, head Of the nation, yet, while
the speaker could not believe Honest Old
Abe to be perfect, he seemed willing that 9TH
ers might idolize him, and anxious that the
selection of pilot to guide the Ship OF State
should be entrusted to the choice ofa tree
people.

That the rebel version Of Col. Dahlgrens
order to his men is gatbled one we think
must be the impression Of all who read ii. A
letter from headquarters OF the army Of the
Potomac thus refers TO It: Il is not beiiev-
ed here that the words aud jeff Davis and
Cabinet killed appeared in the original order,
but we're interlopated by the enemy, in order
to iniiame the passions Of their own soldiers,
who are becoming lukewarm' This is not
unlikely to be the truth Of the case.

CURIOUS STORY OF LEdAcY.-In the
year 1896 the following strange circumstances
occurred in connection with will. Two gem
tlemen, who had been left executors to fri
end, on examining the property, found scrap
of paper on which was written, "Severai hum
dred in the rill." This they took in the lit
eral sense, searching his office, and all the
other apartments carefully. but in vain.---
They sold his collection of books to book
seller near the News, and paid the legaciss
in proportion to the sum realized. The sim
gularity of the circumstance occasioued them
frequently to converse about it and at last il
flashed across one Of them that among the
books sold, more than seven weeks before,
there had been folio edition Of Tillotson's
sermons. The probability Of this being what
was alluded to by the word Till on the piece
Of paper, made him Immediately cali upon the
bookseller who had bought the books. and
asked him il he had still,the edition Of Tiliot-
son which had been included in his purchase.
On his reply in the sfh rmative, the gentleman
Immediately re-bought and carried them home.
On carefully examining the leaves, he found
bank notes sngly deposited in various places
to the amount off700 But what is perhaps
no loss remarkable. the bookseller informed
him that gentleman at Cambridge, to whom
he had sent one OF his catalogues, finding he
had this edition on sale, had written and de-
sred it might be sent to him, which was Ac-
eordingly done, and the parcel forwarded by
carrier. The books not pleasing the gentl-
man they were returned and had remained
on shelf in the shop up to the period of this
singular recovery. Dublin University Mag
A ST. Louis letter in the New York Post
says il is believed that the promise Of per-
manent peace 10 Missouri is better now than
at any time since the war broke out. Bush
whaoiing has proved Improbable, and the
vigilance of the Union cavalry is SO efficient
that the men who have had a seasons taste
of guerrilla warfare are not over anxious to
resume it now. Deserters from Prices army
are constantly returning aud bringing reports
adverse to the prospects of the rebel cause.
and great lukewarmness now exists among
the female portion OF the population--one Of
the sGrest signs that the hopes OF the rebels
in the success Of the rebellion is waning.
