WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER II.
proceed with Thy EIeph ant

In Columbiana County resides an old fellow
renowned for his belEgerent disposition, who
is generally known as friend Shavey. Born
and bred Quaker, he was long since read
ont of meeting on account of his quarreleome
propensities, but he still pertinaciously clings
to the plain clothes and plain language of his
early days, possibly as a protection against the
wrath which he so continually provokes by
his overbearmg and irritating demeanor. He
has always the crossest dog in the neighbor-
hood, the most troublesome, breechy steers,
&c, and is continually inhot water with some
OF his neighbors in consequence of the depre-
dations committed by his unruly live stock. A
few weeks since Van Amburg's Menagerie,
travelling through Columbiana, was obliged to
pass his residence. A little before daylight,
Nash, the keeper of the elephant Tippo Sab,
as he was passing over the road with his ele-
plant, discovered this pseudo Quaker seated
upon fence upon the roadside, watching a
bull which he had turned out upon the road,
and which was paving, believing and throw
ing up tremendous dust generally. In fact,
from the fury of the animal demonstrations.
one would readily have taken him for one of
the identical breed that butted the locomotive
off bridge.
"Take that bull ont of the way" shouted
Nash as he approached. -
proceed with thy elephant was the
reply.
''If you don't take that bull away he will
get hurt" continued Nash, approaching, while
the bull redoubed his belligerent demonstra-
tons.
"Don't trouble thyself about the bull, but
proceed with thy elephant retorted Friend
'Shavey, rubbing his hands with delight at
the prospect of an approaching scrimmage,
the old fellow having great confidence in the
invincibility Of his bull, which was really the
terror of the whole country around.
Tippo Saib came along with his uncouth,
stumbling gait; the bull lowered his head
and made a charge directly upon the ele
plant. Old Tippo, without even pausing in
his mach, gave his ow-catcher sweep.
catching the bull ON the side. crushing in his
ribs with his enormous tusks. and then raised
him about thirty feet in the air, the bull strik-
ing on his head as he came down, breaking
his neck and killing him instantly.
81 am afraid your bull has bent his neck
little" shouted Nash as he passed on.
" Bent the devil cried old Shavey, with
troubled look at his defunct bull (; thy ele-1
plant is too lefty for my beast but thee will
not make so much out of the operation as
thee supposes. was going take my family
so thy show, but I'll see thee and thy show
blowed to blazes before l 60 one step. and
now thee may proceed with thy elephant and
be id please;" the ''pleaseh being added
as Shavey took second look at the proper
tons of the stalwart elephant keeper.

GOVERNORS ELECTION.

There seems to be no longer any doubt
of the election of Hon. JAMES L. ORR, as
Governor of South Carolina, by a majority
of six. or seven hundred votes, although ac-
curate returns have not been received.
Some days since it was telegraphed to
Washington that Gen. HAMPTON was prob.
ably elected Governor. President JOHN
SON Immediately telegraphed to Governor
PERRY that in order that HAMPTON might
be eligible, he would pardon him imme-
diately. A. correspondent of the Charles
ton Neaos says: "that as soon as it was ascer-
tanned that Gen. HAMPTON was not elected,
he (Gen. HAMpToN) requested Governor
PERRY to inform the President of the fact,
in order that be might withdraw, if he should
think proper, the pardon which has been
granted or has been promised, under the
of his election. As the returns

A QUEER FIX.


The Columbia correspondent of the
Charleston Nesos, furnishes the following to-
that paper: ... ri.
"The Legislature will not meetin regular
session until the 9th day of November, and
as the vote for Governor cannot be counted
until the first week of that session, the cleo
ton of the Hon. B. E. Perry to the Senate
of the United States produces the following
singular condition of things: The Senators
must necessarily be in Washington by the
first week in December and the Provision
al Governor must, therefore, of necessity,
in the present condition of the roads, leave
Columbia about the time of the meeting of
the Legislature, and not improbably before
the votes of the Governor are counted, In
case be should do 80, what will be the con.
dition of things in this State? Will MI.
President johnson appoint new Governor,
or will he by proclamation declare that the
State is no longer in rebellion, and leave
her to manage her own aHairs7 The latter
,ooursesi is the one which it is supposed by
those best in position to know, will be fol.
lowed, Heaven grant that this may besso-
for there is no man in this State who is not
heartily sick of living undera government
mot Of our own choice, even though that
government should be administered as mild
ly and as equitably as it has been by the
distinguished gentleman whose conduct in
that unenviable Office has been rewarded by

lara. These salaries are looked upon as the
fair thing by old officers, although oonsid-
ersbly reduced from the old schedule. An
effort will be made to create the grade Of
General and have Grant promoted to il;
Sherman to be Lieutenant General, and
giving Thomas and Sheridan Brevets to
that rank. The war has demonstrated that
man does not need West Point educs.
ton to be commissary or quartermaster,
and it is proposed to officer the standing
army by graduates who have been employed
as such, and to ELL their places by old vol
unteer officers who want them. This IS the
state Of the matter among the regulars, ana
a powerful effort will be made to push IL
through.
A statement recently appeared IN .
New York paper, to the effect that the Post
Office Department is smaking up Its accounts
for the next Congress, and from these. ac.
counts it appears that the deficit when the
mail route services in the Southern States
are resumed, will be sS,000,O00. We afs
authorized to say that no such facts appears
from tae accounts now being made up in
the Post Office Department. and this state.
ment of the deficit is wholly unauthorized
In 1861 as the breaking out of the rebel
lion, the costs of mail transportation in the
seeded States, and other States where mail
service could not be safely performed, was
but $3, ,9l9, 1866, and in all the loyal States
at the same time IS, 300, 1888 80 in all,-
The truth is, as is stated in our dispatoh7to
the Times q, few weeks ago, the mail SER
vice for the South, whilst it is based upon
and fully up to the necessities Of the peo-
pie, is less now than it was at the time of
and for some time prior to the commence
ment of the rebellion, and all contracts re.
Gently made by the Postmaster General have
been upon an average of forty per cent.
less than, the contracts at the commence.
ment of the war. And further, from all
reliable sources of information, it appears
that the Post Office Department will be
seltsustaining in the South, as we'll as in
the North. The Postmaster Generals .es.
innate for cost of Southern mail service for
the year ending June 80, 1867, amount to
S3, 40, 200. The estimated receipts will
equal this sum.-Neao York Herald.

We regret to learn that fire occurred

and between ninety and one hundred bales
of cotton. The fire is said to have origin.
ated from friction, while running the gin.
