AN ASTOUNDING EVENT AT THE MUNICIPAL

casloned in the Municipal Court yesterday
morning, by one of the defendants who
had been adjudged to pay fine of six dol
lars, presenting to the clerk Of the court in
payment thereof frs dollar gold piece,
which, at the rate of premium gold was
then quoted, exceeded his fine about 81 90.
No sooner did the unusual event begin to be
understood among the fre4uenters of the
court, than there was an immediate cessa.

curiosity to see the coin which became Oh.

government ceased to be under democratic
rule. 1t was not until the "relic" had been
carefully slowed away in the capacious
wallet wherein the costs and fines are
deposited, that the court again resumed its
wonted serenity and composure. and the
process of melting out justice to the

A GcoD SPEcIMEN.-After reading the
extraordinary letter of General Fremont
Of the 2lst inst, at Boston, in which he
says:
II consider that Mr.. Lincoln's admins
tration is politically, mlitarily and finan.
cially failure, and that its necessary con-
do not see how any conservative Repub-
lican can vote for his reelection for four
long years more. And when read the
noble speech of the Hon. Robert G. Win
throp, Of Boston, formerly speaker of the
House Of Representatives, at the late Nc
Clellan meeting in Union Square, in which
he says :-"General Mcclellan has made
his own platform his admirable letter of
acceptance ought to be hailed with delight
and gratitude, even by those who are too
far committed to give it their support
That letter alone is worth an army with
banners to the cause of the nation it has
the true clarion ring to rally nation to the
ruscue." And when | read in the speech
of the Hon. George E. Comstock, at the
same glorious meeting IF the election
were to turn on the personal fitness Of the
candidates, we She uld point proudly to the
lofty patriotism, the noble achievements,
the upright character, and the stainless
record of the youthful soldier who has been
chosen as our candidate and to whom can
the nation mere safely trust the charge Of
its armies than to the hero who has twice
saved the capital of the country" After
reading such a character, to General Nc.

and Mr.. Comstock, and seeing he has the

fully and cordially give him my vote.

Gen. Mcclellan.

Gen. McClellans
Read the following from the N. Y. 7ri
bune when that paper spoke decently OF
the brave soldiers of the Union:
MCLELLAN-wHAT HIS MEN SAY OF HIN.
From our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 30, 1851.
The only portion of the forces who have
achieved the late victories under Gen. Nc.
Clelan, that came to this city with him, is
a company of thoroughly drilled rifemen
mostly from Chicago, H., called the Stur
ges Rifles, who act as the body guard of
the General. They are under com nland of
Capt. Steele, Of Chicago, and number 50
entire campaign in Western Virginia, have
been in all the battles, and have been tried
in the fire and have never flinched.
Gen. Mcclellan is regarded by these men
as invincible-they say he never made
mistake, and verify believe these S3 men
would cheerfully march forth TO- night, alone,
to attack the entire rebel army at Manas.
sas, if Gen. Mcclellan should give the order
and lead the attack. Col Lander, the aid
Of tie commanding general, now here, is
also highly esteemed by the men, who say
he is the most fearless of mortals, q
thorough soldier, and an admirable leader.
Gen. Mcclellan is one of the least pre-
tentiOus Of Men-he generally wears tn.
simple blouse Of the rifeman, with not
even the starred shoulder straps to denote
his rank-a man who never wastes time
who is indefaligable in his pursuit and at
tack Of the enemy, and equally untiring in
his efforts to secure the utmost comfort of
his men, compatible with soldiers life
When his line is on the march, he is ever
among the men, with q kind and cheering
word for avery company; a pleasant look,
or kind salute, or hearty grasp of the hand
for every officer or private with whom he
is brought on speaking tsrms by business !;
ane in fight he is always at the front OF
the column, in the thickest Of the danger,
encouraging his soldiers by cheering word
and fearless deed. He takes soldiers fare
with the rest asking no better food, and no
more luxurious bed than the newest re-
cruited private under his command. If he
sees man without proper shoes or cloth.
ing, he has that man, with his captain, sent
to his own quarters, where the man is serv-
cd with the proper garments he needs and
the captain receives a reprimand that leads
him to look more closely after the comfort
Of his men in the future.
That such a man should be the idol ol
his soldiers is not surprising. The measure
of their alteration for him words fail to ex.
press. though the following slightly profane
but uncommonly emphatic statement of one
Of his men, will perhaps approximate it
1--WE would, every one. Of US, fight for ole
MAC till hell froze over, and then die on tn,
ice" which frigid sentiment was cordially
indorsed by all who heard it uttered.

IT is not doubted, that should Mr.. Lin
coin succeed in being re. elected, that anoth.
er draft will Immediately be ordered
Gov. Seymour, in speech recently made
at Reading, Pa, stated that the admins
tration had already intimated as much to
him. .... ..-. -...
The draft, too. will probably be for ono
million. Gov. Seymour does not state the
number, only that lit will be the largest
one that has yet been made" The reasons
for this are obvious. The army was filled
NJ in 1862 by three years men, whose
time W i'll begin to expire next Spring. The
men who were drafted this year under the
SOC, 900 call, have but one year to serve.--
their terms of service will also be out next
year. With Mr.. Lincoln in Office, there is
no possibility of peace. The South cannot
make peace with HIM, for his demands arc
utterly inadmissable. He will offer them
nothing before which utter ruin and ami
hlation are not thousand times prefera-
bic. With his re election, therefore, there
is no hope-not the slightest. Every man
who votes for Lincoln, votes openly and
knowingly for more drafts, for burdening
towns, counties and cities with more taxes,
and for an un-ending war upon Southern
States. Pr. du Chen Courier. ..

In our telegraphic column may be found
the startling information from Lincolnrs
bicgrapher, the editor Of the N. Y. Times,
that two New York regiments have voted
almost unanimously for Lincoln. though
ballots forwarded by mail to the several
proxies designated.
Now, the New York law is explicit, that
the soldiers ballot shall be sent, securely
sealed in an envelope, to tho person tho
soldier intends as his proxy or attorney,
and that the envelope thus containing the
ballot shall be opened before the Judge Of
election at the precinct where the soldier
would have been entitled to a vote on tho
day Of election--the Sth Of November, so it
may be seen that the telegraphic statement
is telegraphic lie, made for the purpose of
influencing some though'less or unimform.

GENERAL LEE.-An army correspondent
writes: .-...
"The rebel General is constantly on the
move. He evidently feels that the crisis is
at length at hand, and the last ditch soon
to be reached. We hear Of him all over
To-day he may make his appearance on
our front, and, after rapid review Of the
situation, before night be on the extreme
right Of the rebel position, to meet any
attempts Of General Grant to occupy the
South side or Weldon roads. The immense
strain that this man keeps upon his men,

longer. Human nature will give way, and
if the rebellion continues, it will soon be

Twenty-Five acres of Homestead,

And amid the laden fruit trees
The voices of song birds ring.
Where the ripping stream glides lightly
By the fields of rustling corn,
And the winter hearth shines ruddy
When the summer days are gone.

In the North, to join the fight,
To brighten our country's honor,
Or die to see her right.
To fight mid the smoke and rattle,
Where the deadly bullets hiss,
To find a death in battle,
But not such a death as this.
Twenty-Five acres of mire,
Cut by filthy trench,
Stumps, and swamp, and briar,
vermin, offal. and stencil,
Through that black ditch is crawling,
The DRAWINGS of q sink,
Rippled with living corruption,

in very rare instances:
"A lady entered one of the State street
cars yesterday and found every seat taken
A gentleman rose and invited the lady to
accept the seat he had vacated. She did
so, politely thanking him for his kindness
The lady wore dark delaine dress, plain
shawl, and an ordinary tan-colored straw
bonnet. She had a fair complexion, smil-
ing countenance, keen black eyes, and an
expression that indicated a good degree OF
intelligence. Her appearance was neat and
tidy, her face was free from dirt and paint,
her hair was smoothly combed. without
curls, frizzles or beau tchers. There was
nothing in the appearance or department
Of this individual that would attract special
attention. or lead any one to suspect that
she was not in sound mind, save the fact
that she bowed politely and thanked the
gentleman who gave her his seat! This
eccenTicity is sufficient to show that the
lady is not of sound mind, and she ough,
