BSecretary Seward closes speech at Au-
burn. n. Y, last week, in the following beauti-
full and truthful passage; 1.-The sun is setting.
So surely as it shall rise again. so surely do
think that the great events we have now cele-
brated prelude the end Of our national troubles,
and the restoration of the national authority,
with peace, prosperity and freedom throughout
the whole land, from the lakes to the gulf, and
from ocean to ocean"
Hold Father Bushnell, of Vermont, used to
say that the best criticism he ever received on
his preaching was from little boy who sat ut
his feet, looking up into his face, as he was
preaching in a crowded house. As he was going
ON very earnestly, the little fellow spoke out,
"You said that afore" Ii is thought that some
other preachers of long sermons may be open to
the same criticism.
RA New York copperhead substitute broker,
over six feet in height, commenced TRADE
against the government in a hotel in Lewiston
las. week, where email man not over Eve feet
in height, who had been soldier, landed him on
the foor at full length. Copperheads should be
cautious how they abuse the government in the
presence of soldiers.

Reception of Returns.

Our Office was crowded last evening by
Union men of the city to learn the result OF
the election in this Congressional District and
the State. As the room was rather limited
for SO large crowd, the new City Hall was
opened, and the returns were sent there as
last as received. Chambers Band was also
engaged. The glorious returns from all parts
OF the State and the inspiring patriotic music
OF the Band served to make the vast audi
enee supTemely happy, and shouts vsat up as
town after town came - showing a more
glorious reSs.i- than eysh,he most sangune
had dreamed Of. After the City Hall was
closed large portion of the audience again
repaired to our office, and did nc. leave until
the telegraph announced there would bo no
more returpS that night,
We are under obligations to Mr.. Bedlow

The Soldiers Spokesman.

Ia the Argus account OF the meeting at
Deering Hall, Saturday evening, we find the
followingi
A pleasing episode occurred which demon
stra'es as to whether the soldiers are for or
against their beloved old commander. There
were thirty-odd soldiers present, and in q
pause 10 one ofthe speeches, their spokesman,
. SERGEANT, leaped upon seat and said that
himself and comrades wanted to give three
cheers for Gen. Mcclellan. A scene of pa
triotic enthusiasm ensued.
A "sergeaut", Who was their soldiers boy
so ready to be spokesman" Of his fellows in
behalf OF Little Mace The Advertiser gives
the information. Referring to the same meet
ing and the same scene 1t says:
At the conclusion Of Mr.. BIS remarks, Mr.
PArrEN, in behalf Of a number of soldier boys
who had served with Gen. Mcclellan, and who
were IN the galleries, called for three cheers
for Gen. Mcclellan, which were given with a
hearty good will. and made the walls echo long
afterward.
