The London Times on the Amer

We see n great nation, which has not been
in times past sparlng of its menaces and pre-
dlotious OF our ruin, apparently resolved to ex-
ecute, without pause and without remorse, tho
most dreadful judgment of Heaven upon it.
self We see the frantic patient tearing The
bAndages from his wounds and thrusting aside
the hand that would assuage his miseries, and
every day that the war goes on we see less
aud less probability that the great fabric Of
the Union will ever be constructed in its or
iginal form, and more and more likelihood
that the process OF disntsgration will extend
far beyond the present division between North
and South We observe the rapid destruction
Of that mighty fabric Of prosperity which was
30 formidable to our own colonies, and we
look forward, at no distant date, to the day
when the credit of the Republic must he

Were we really animated by tho spirit OF
hostility which is always assumed to prevail
among us toward America, we should view the
terrible spectacle with exultaton and delight,
We should rejoice that the American people,
untaught by past misfertuneE, have resolved
to continue the war to the end, and hail the
probable continuance Of the power of Mr.
Lincoln as the event most calculated to pledge
tho nation to a steady continuance in its sui
cidal policy. But we are persuaded that the
people of this country view the prospect of an
other four years OF war in America with very
different feelings, They can not dvest them

Singular ActIOn-EnOrmO Cost
OF q HInlaDeMnN,

The Waterford Qreland) Mail reports an
extraordinary action brought by coach bull
der OF the city named Lawlor
It appears that Mr.. Lawor WAS desirous
Of sending a specimen of his workmanship to
the Dublin Exhibition; and, instead Of placing
it in u drAy and sending it TO the terminus,
he had it drawn by men. When il arrived at
the bridge the question arose, what should be
paid II was n iour-whealed carriage, but It
was not drawn by horses, asses C2) bullocks,
or other animals Here was IA poser. The
only table in the schedule of tolls WAS for a
carriage drawn any other way" Mr.. Lav-
or rendered the money, aud considered this
should have cleared the men who drew the
carriage, while the lessee OF the bridge held
that rhese men we're foot passengers, and
should pay in addition The toll.tsRer insisted
on his view, and compelled Mr Lawlor to pay
one halfpenny, for which an action was
brought by Mr. Lawlor in one case to recoy-
er penalty OF s. for oyercharge of toll, and
the magistrates decided in his favor From
that decision the Bridge Commissioners APP

both sides, The Court affirmed the decree

A washington View Of the Re-
election OE Lincoln.

AGATE, the well known correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
Washington, nnder date Of November
llth, complacently sums up the results Of
the reelection of Old ABE, in a couple of
very satisfactory propositions, to-wit /:
lst "What the defeat Of WNFiELD ScoTT
was to the Wing party, the defeat of GEo
B. MoCLELLAN is to the Democratic" 4"
I'd. "Slavery went practically under as
the last light ballots, mortal beyond
bayonets and chain shot, fell upon it in
tho shades of Tuesday evening" So far,
SO good but we learn that the death Of
Slavery and Democracy, are not the sole
fruits of the recent triumph Of Lincolnism,
for the writer continues
"The election decides another thing This
people, with weeping in every household, with
empty places in every family circle, with the
land full of crippes, and the hospitals full Of
dying, and rigorous draft enforced, and a
call for more men staring them in
the face, aud taxes weighing them TO the earth,
this people, thus struggling ana suffering

Our Provost Marshal.

The State Journal of Columbus has
surprised us with the information that the
Provost Marshal Of this District, Mr..
Mus, has been placed under arrest, and
that Major BlERcE "has gone to Dayton
to take possession OF his office, papers,
&C." The journal Of this city, in motto
ing the statement says that it "needs con-
6rmation." No reference is made by the
Columbus paper to the character of the
charges preferred.
