A SINGULAR DEvELopMENT.-The Eastern pa
pers are circulating, with accommodating evidence
Of truth, singular story, to the effect that the
rebel States, by secret pre-concert, had their
Legislatures convened on the 9Th of November,
and each of them chose its quota Of Presidential
Electors, as though they had never assumed to
secede from the Union These Electors, in case
their aggregate vote would suffice to give Nc
Clellan a majority over Lincoln, were to assemble
on the first " Wednesday in December, and formal
" cast their votes for Mcclellan and Pend eton
sending them on to Washington in due form,
and backing them TO either House, should that
be deemed essential. Then when the day arrived
for officially counting the votes and declaring the
result the entire opposition of all shades was to
insist that Mcclellan and Pcndeton were duly
elected, and, if this were not conceded, break
up the session in row, and inaugurate a civil
war from one end of the country 10 the other
the present rebellion merging itself in the newer
and more favorable--Jeff. Davis, Lee and Beaure-
gard becoming alike Lieutenants of Mcclellan
That some such movement was anticipated by
Northern Copperheads is quite probable. Mys-
FERROUS assertions, to the effect that Lincoln il
elected by the North would never be inaugu-
rated, were frequently made by the supporters OF
Mcclellan during the canvass, and in the letter
of the Copperhead delegate to the Chicago Con-
vention from California. published by the loyal
press of this State, this Southern programme
was accurately foreshadowed But the scheme
was thwarted by the unanimity of the North
The loyal triumph was overwhelming. Add to
the twenty-one votes carried by Mcclellan the
entire electoral strength Of the States in rebel
lion, and Lincoln would be elected by majority
of ia votes in the Electoral College. When the
secret history Of the rebellion is written, we may
learn something further of this brilliant Southern
failure.-Nerada Gazette.

NUMBER 9.
The Great West.

When General Taylor chosen President,
only sixteen years ago, he did not receive single
Electoral vote from from the States lying north
favored by the dissensions among his opponents,
carried all those States in 1860, some of them
by meager majorities, but received scarcely one
tenth of the popular vote of Missouri. Now he
carries every one of them by generally increased
majorites, and Missouri with them by very
decided vote. He has also carried the new State
of Nevada, and has large absolute majorities in
California and Oregon, where, though he carried
their Electors, he had barely two-ffths of the
popular vote in 1860. His majoritics in that
section, which is soon to preponderate in our
National councils, may be roughly stated as fol-
lows

DAN INDIAN on TIE WAK-PArH."AW learn
from the Grass Valley Union Of Jan. 18th, that
that day John r. Ridge attacked H. c. Ben
net, editor of the Union, on the public street.
Bennett declined, fighting him as he says in
the paper of that date--frst because there is a
law prohibiting the carrying of concealed weap-
ons secondly, that he % had better business to
attend to than killing dogs in the public streets,
particularly as there ladies within pistol
range at the time Bennett concludes
% We told him we now repeat, that We never
refuse satisfaction to gentleman to whom We
have given offense, on the terms of gentleman,
and to meet his desire for fight, we will for
this occasion recognize him as gentleman,
which is more than any one would do who knows
the fellow. This is the peaceful Colonel of the
Knights of the Columbian Star, who for the week
past has been charging Black Republican editors
with going about the streets walking masked
batteries"

challenge had passed. We only hope that

Total. II States. 24l.ooo

These States gave an aggregate popular major
ity against Lincoln in 1860; they now give not
less than 240, 600 for him, with gains of Members
of Congress in every State where there was any
thing left to gain. And there is no pretense that
anything was lost to his Anniversaries through
divisions.
The vote Of the Northwest is the strongest
guaranty yet proffercd of the perpetuity of the
Union. The alienation of the Northwest has
been plotted aud sought for years. To this end
uncounted Lodges of the knights of the Gold
en- Circle, % Sons of Liberty" &C., have been
organized. To this end, New England has been
persistently DETAINED and reviled by the basest of
her renegade sous. To this end, constant slim
illus has been given to Western jealousy and hate
of the East The Puritansm and fanatcism of
New England have been inculcatcd as plunging
the country into gigantic civil war for the bene-
fit of her cotton mils-as if cotton mills luxu-
rated in the dearth and dearness of cotton-and
now the Great West responds by larger, more
decisive majorties for the War, heartier sup
port of the Administration than are given in the
East. And the rattle of riven letters in Mary
land is more than paralleled by the crash of the
prison house in Missouri.
So let US rest in the confident assurance that
the Union will endure forever, under the guar
dianship and protection of the Great, because

The birds have gone from our wintry cline,
The flowers are dreaming of Spring,
When they shall wake to the glorious chime
Which Nature again shall sing
Be patient longing and restless heart.
And the dreary days will go,
Till We, in noting them shall start
To think they are passing SOL

With such record as few before
Could reckon their heritage
