road Company, to address that body, have re-
ceived letter from him, of which the follow
ing is an extract:
AT this writing I cannot fix time, but

city in the latter part Of November. Mean.
while you can assure your citizens tt at ar

The letter from which the above gratifying
view is extracted, is dated at Mt Carmel where

WirZ to be Hung en- Friday next-South h
Carolina NexVs-Indfan Visitors -
What they Said and What they Want.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 7.-There is a rcpor,
that seems to be well authenticated that the
President has approved the sentence passed
upon Wirz to be hanged by the neck until
dead, and ordered it to be carried into execu-
tion on Friday next. Preparations are now
being made ior the execution.
The steamer Kernock from Halifax, with
passengers from the steamer Circassan, ar
rived here this morning.
The Charleston Courier Of the 9Th states that
the Alhambra arrived there, leaving Brig
Chas. Ring.
John russeder Of the goth Mass. regiment,
was accidently shot near Clarendon on the
25th by planter. He was one of the guard
sent to protect the plantoss from an uprising
Of negroes. A guard arrived at night and en-
deavOred to effect an entrance to the house of
planter who thought they were negroes and
fired. The occurrence is sadly regretted.
j. Clubs of the Fox tribe, had an interview
with the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs this
morning in relation to the rat:ona' in e est. Tie
Sacks and Fox Indians, have already with Is
4 reservation in Kansas, and an annuity { I
SOL, 900. But the Fox's will not live with the
Sacks, and have declared it in Iowa. They
now want the government to change the ar
rangements to suit their circumstances. They
were asked among other things, how they
would like to 90 into the Indian Territory,
where it was proposed to establish a govern
ment embracing many of the Indian tribes.
They said they wanted to think all matters
over. They have always been good friends to
our government and people; when however
they came to talk with their white fathers,
there was SAID something harsh, this was
wrong, they could get along better with
smooth and easy words. They wanted to see
the other father first. The court replied that
if the Fox's ran away from their reservation
and disregarded the treaty, all the advantage $
would fall to the Sacs. They must either go
back or state some good reason why they
will not return. The chiefs reply that it is
impossible for them to live with the Sacs
They are to have another talk with the Com
mssoners, and were promised q sight Of their
white fathers before they left Washington.
New YORK. Nov. 7.--The Posts Washir

held to-day. All the members, but one were
present. Secretary Wells and Admiral Farra-
gut were closeted with the President during
the morning.
The general impression prevails that the
French Government has been warned not to
send any moro troops to Mexico.

THE ELECTION,

Rarely, if ever, has an election in Cairo
reigned Yesterday throughout the city. There
were two or three reasons which combined to
effect this. In the first place there were no
exciting issues, such as kindle and arouse mems
passions, at work. The noisy fulminations of
the party papers had failed to convince any
body that ''the fate Of their wives, their chill
dren and their country hung on the decision of
the hour Neither were there any personal
tournaments Of great moment or interest In
fact most people took the sensible view Of the
thing and thought rightly that it was ques-
ton only Of local Importance, about which
there could be no possible good in raising
breeze. 1t would be but tempest in teapot
Credit also must be given to the effect of the
Mayors order in enforcement of the law
closing all bars, to which the compliment of a
pretty faithful observance was paid. There
was no excitement because there was nothing
for good citizens to be excited about This
is clearly manifest in the meagre vote cast
only about a two-thirds vote of the city. The
Democratic ticket was, with the exception of
one name, at the head of the poll in this city,
as everybody supposed it would be. Tie only
noticeable feature of the voting was the extent
of scratching. In a local matter of this kind
individuals will crafty their personal prepos-
sessions with little heed to the ties of party,
and this Is emnently proper and to be expec-
ted. How much better it would be on these
occasions to lay aside party prejudices entirely,
and come together as citizens only to nominate
and elect for our officers the men who of all
amsng us are best qualified to fulfill the duties
of the several positions. When the country
settles down once more into position of peace
full prosperity, and the asperities of the few
past years Eavo passed into forgetfulness, we
hope to see that policy adopted. Elsewhere
we present the returns for the city, a2d we
hope tomorrow to be able to present the full
returns for the whole county. Our readers
will surely not expect US to offer for their con-
sideration, to-day, any thoughts unconnected
with the election

SAVANNAH,
Wants to get back to Cairo--Fire Com.
panies-.Newspapers- Theatre.
,ondence Of Cairo Daily Times.

Correspondence Of Cairo Daily Times.
SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. %, 1865.
The saying so much in vogue out your way,
to-wit : that person who has once lived in
Cairo and has moved in the circles Of its citi-
illustration in my case. I have, since leaving
your growing city, been in large cities, and not
only that, but have been where l always con-
sidered my home to be, and at all times q
yearning to get back to Cairo has seized me-
| which, fear, is tntay malady unless I find
another such place, but of which l have my
doubts. expect some of these fine mornings
you'll find me in your midst, if only to pass a
few days amongst your genial citizens.
A few nights ago fire was discovered in
one of our large warehouses, aud AFTER per-
haps, an hours alarm, hose carriage appear
ed in view. In the meantime, though, whole
square could have been consumed by the de-
vouring element before they got water on the
| fire. Thanks to several citizens the fire was
nearly checked before the tiremen arrived.
How it would have cheered me to have seen
! the gallant Arabs of Cairo with a stream upon
the fire, and doing up their business in a regu-
lar fireman's style. By the way, speaking of
| tremen, complimentary benefit was rendered
| the Metropolitan Fire Company of this city, by
| the managers of the theatre, to assist them in
purchasing Il steam engine. Can't your man
agement do as much for the deserving ARABS. :"
l merely throw this out as a suggestion The
| benefit netted them upwards of four hundred
dollars Tho printing was done gratuitously
| by the Gifieront printing offices of the city.
/ While writing about printing l would state
that there arc at present published in this city,
three morning papers, the Herald, the NJ
ti0nal Republican and a very small sheet like
the former War Egle, which is a dramatic
advertiser. A few days ago the Republican
had very severe criticism ON the acting at the
theatre few nights previous, which caused
the dander OF the editor of the AdUertiser to
rise to fever heat, its effect showing itself in
the next number of that paper. After hurlng
hard names at one another the matter has
dropped, the Republican getting the worst of
| it, Among the items is one that the editor oi
| the Republican took charge Of the office and
has not, to this day, paid its rightful owneIs
one cent tor the same. &c. The charge has
not been directly denied Tho controversy
WAS very rich and amusing to outsiders.
The theatre, | am told, is doing first rate
business, but from all hearsay the company is
dreadful | was present at but one perform
ance and that was satisfaction enough for me.
The lessees and managers are Messrs. Raymond
and Hamilton both actors.
| Having transacted the business which called
me to Savannah, again leave for New YORK

New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE returns from
number of towns and cities in the State show a
large falling off in the Democratic votes as COM
pared with that Of last fall. Barlow is cer-
tainly elected Secretary of State by large ma
jority The whole Republican State ticket was
elected. Eleven wards in this city have thus
far been heard from, and show ii, 900 majority
for Slocum. The remaining wards will proba-
bly, bring it up to, 10000. The Republicans
gain number of State Senators and Assem-.
bly-men. Ben. Woods is elected State Sena-
tor from this city. The election in this city
has been unusually quiet.

time in several years, has gone Republican by

TAE ELECTIONS.
ChicagO..WiscOnsin.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The election to-day pass
ed off quietly. The returns show the Repub-
lican ticket elected by maorities of from ten to
fifteen hundred. Milwaukee returns received
up to this hour from forty-seven precincts, in
cluding the cities of Milwaukee, Racine, Ken
'osha, Fond du Lac and Wilberton gave Fair
child, Union, for Governor, l,GS7 majority.
The vote for extension of suffrage in seventeen
prclncts runs 5l9 behind tho ticket. There
no doubt now that the Union State ticket
is elected by from 5000 to 10000 majority.
The result Of the vote upon negro suffrage is
doubtful. The vote is light compared with
last year.

Massachusetts.

BosroN, Nov. 7.-Our State election took
place to-day. The vote was small, and about
two thirds of that of last year. when Andrews
had 1875, 2sl, and Paine 40, 100. The returns
indicate u larger proportional loss to Dem.
ocrats. The vote Of Boston was 668 for A. A.
Bullock aud 3, s3l for Couch. Last year the
vote was : Andrews, 1888; Paine, l,94l
Returns from liz towns give Bullock SO, 3l7
Couch, 10. 595. The vote OF the State will not
probably exceed 100, 900, Of which Bullock
will receive from 5000 to $4,000; Couch less
than rs, 900. Gen. Banks is elected to Con-
gress in the 9th distaict, to fill vacancy His
vote is about the same as that for Governor.
Waltham, his own town, gives him
AL against I36 for Greenwood, Haverhill Gil
against I04, and Charleston gives more than
1000 majority for. The Democrats have eloc-
ted one Senator in Suffolk county, the only one
in the State. The workingmen controlled the
Second and Twelfth wards. In Boston the
Democrats elected six Representatives and the
Republicans fourteen. Tie House Of Repre-
sentatives will probably stand abont as last
year.
