Arrival and Departure of Trains.
The November Elections.

Our returns from the states which
held their elections yesterday are in most
cases rather meagre, but are sufficient to
indicate that the Republican cause is
everywhere triumphant. Congress has
been fully sustained in its restoration
policy and "my policy" has received its
crushing blow at the hands of the peo-
pie, with their greatest constitutional
weapon, the ballot.
In New York, the Johnsonites made a
most decided stand, and rolled up a
heavy majority in the city, though in
the rural districts the friends of freedom
were on the alert, and have elected their
State ticket by majority ranging from
5000 to 10000, besides gaining two or
three members of Congress.
The Western States, true to their in
stincts of freedom, have done nobly, and
in every instance elected the. Union ticket
by increased majorities.
Maryland and Missouri have also
done well, and though the Democrats
have carried the former, it is by re-
duced majority, while our returns from
the latter indicate the success Of the
Republican ticket by large majority.
Noble old Massachusetts has sustained
her previous good reputation in the
ranks of the Union and REFLECTS Gov.
Bullock by 10000 majority, besides re-
turning an unbroken phalanx Of Union
Congressman.
In conclusion, we have only to add
that the result is all that the most san
guine friends Of free institutions could
desire, and the one man power at Wash
ington and its adherents throughout the
nation have been taught to remember
the 9th Of November, 1866, as the day
which sounded the death knell Of their
inglorious career.

ACCIDENT. - Nelson Southwick, a
young son of |. NJ, Southwick, Esq, of
this place, while in company with his
father, who was engaged in dressing
meat for market at the slaushter-house
of John Engram, Ia what is known as
Middle Village, In this town, yesterday,
was playing with knife and in some
unaccountable manner drove it into and
nearly through the palm of his hand,
severing an artery and one of the cords,
and causing such flow of blood that
for some time 1t was feared he must
bleed to death. He was promptly con.
veyed to this village, and the assistance
of Drs. Page and Monroe called, who
dressed the wound, and we are informed
he is now in fair way of recovery.

GIVE Us A KING THE Mobile Tribune
concludes an editorial as follows:

concludes an editorial as follows:
"How long, oh, Lord Our hope Is In
Thee, with the Democratic party as the
instrument. That failing, g'ps as The man
pih tie septrs IN has hama"
The longing for king by the Tribune
man is based undoubtedly upon secre-
tary Stewards inquiry, while engaged
with the President in swinging around
the circle" "will you have Andrew
Johnson as President or as King2" The
wish of the Tribune indicates that the
plot between the President and the
rebels to establish amonarchy instead OF
our own free republic has gone so far
that they perfectly understand each
other, and that "the man with a sceptre
in his hand" is the same King Andrew
that Seward threatened the people with,
Both the rebels and the President prefer
the success OF the Democratic party )"
but if they cannot have that, would per-
petuate their rule by establishing mon
archy to govern the nation.

Readwhat the editor of the Cincinnati Times
says of Aliens Lung Balsam:
A REMARKABLE CURRENT. Samuel Lewis,
one OF the old Pioneers of Cincinnati, was very
long, apparently, in the last stages of Consump-
ton, and given up by physicians, when some
kind friend recommended him to use Allen 8
Lung Balssm. He did SO, fundamentally com
menced recovering and is now able to attend to
business. He says In trnth, l may say it
has saved my life" Mr. Lewis is well known in
Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence may be
placed in his statements. 1t is due, therefore,
to the community, especially those suffering un-
der this terrible malady, that the fullest pub
licity be given to such marvellous cures, that
other sufferers may avail themselves of the
remedy. With pleasure, therefore we refer to
this cure. 8.aH
From our knowledge of the merits of this ex-
cellent Balsam, and what we hear Of its merits,
we think it should be at once used by all per-
sons suffering from a cough, or any pulmonary
complaint We hear that many far advanced in
consumption, have been cured by its Rse.

GEoRGIA.-The Governor of Georgia,

that traitors who have added perjury to
their crime of treason are hencefOrth in
eligible to office. The Governor is one
of this class, and it is a matter of per-

amendment. The people Of Georgia.
however, may see things in s different
light.

The Question of Races.

A few years ago, when the United
States was suffering with intestine
troubles, an official document from Ma
poleon III. made the startling statement
that the extension of the mixed races
forming the United States, mist be re-
stricted, and that, in order to preserve a
proper "balance of power" in Europe, 1t
was necessary that the Latin Race"
should be firmly planted upon the soil Of
Mexico. To carry out this scheme the
willy Napoleon dazzled the eyes of a
young Austrian adventurer, hitherto ia
nous only as the admiral of fleet
whose heauiest firing was salute, and
whose heaviest service had been gale
in the Mediterranean, with visions of
a residence in the halls of the Montezu-
mas, and an empire, every inch of whose
soil was rich with gold and diamonds !;
no wonder that the young aspiran4 for
monarchical honors grasped eagerly at
at the glittering prize. Indeed, we have
d SOIb vi Sy"paVhy Wioh Na"A'hiiii"hj
for we believe that he was selected by
Napoleon for his victim, end only his
own shrewdness in seeking by-roads has
saved him from worse fate than abdi-
cation.
According to the telegraph, Maximil-
ian has ipgloriously left Mexico for Eu-
rope, thus, for the time-being at least,
check mating the purpose of his French
master to demonstrate the.superiority of
the "Latin race" over all Others. Would
it not be well for Napoleon, Macmillan
and other despots who seek to extend
their empire on this continent, to reflect
that it is not a question between the
Latin ard the Anglo-Saxon races which
forbids the establishment of monarchy
in America, but question older and far
more important than this,-not sohieh
shall rule, but soho shall rule,-a question
higher than that of Hapsburgs or
,Guelpbs,--
''Whose thin bloods crawl,
Down throngh some victor in border brawl,
By the kindly agency of the Atlantic
telegraph, Napoleon Ill, who, in 1861,
planted his "Latin race" in Mexico, has
probably learned that Monarchy is an
unhealthy weed which will not flourish
in the free air and broad sunshine of ad-
jacent Repubkcanism, and that the Mon
roe doctrine is not dead, but only sleep
eth.
He has probably found to his grief
that this continent was not designed by
Providence for tie Latin or any one spe-
cial race, but that all the portents Of cur
history point TO the ingathering OF a
homogeneous humanity, whose principal
elements will be Saxon, Celtic and Scla-
vonic, and as upon the restricted soil oi
Europe these same elements have been
found troublesome to crowned heads,
upon these shores it would be vain
contest betweel the omnipotent voice OF
the people and the will Of one man

REMARKs.-We find occasion to change but
few of the figures in our scale of prices this

lower. The advancing prices OF corn, &c, is
assigned to the refusal of farmers and others to
buy stores, and the large number of hogs
thrown upon the market, accounts for the de-
cline on pork
We find full 1900 head of cattle over the
northern roads in place of 1000 last week 1743

The weather is fine and trade, if not better, is
certainly quicker and more comfortable than

market than last week, there is a large increase
in the number of buyers, and on the whole, as
compared with last week, we think trade favors
the sellers.

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS.
Is THE BEST.

1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of Solid Plates. No jar can interfere
with the harmony of its working and no sudden
shock can damage its machinery. Every piece
is made and finished by machinery dself a-
nous for the novelty, as well as for It's effect.
iveness) and is therefore properly made. The
watch is what all mechanism should be-accr-
rate, simple, strong and economical, Excep:
some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in
any kind of order. All persons who have car
ried "ancres" "lepines" and English Paten,
Levers" are perfectly well aware Of the tru'h
of this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our fret object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the m,
lion, TO take the place of these foreign impss.
tions; the refuse of foreign factories whicl
were entirely unsaleable at home and perfeciy
worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may b.
understood from the fact that after so man?
years of public trial, we now make more thar
half of all the watches sold in the United States,
and that no others have ever given such uniy2F'
sal satisfaction. While this department of our
business is continued with increased facilities
for perfect work, we are at present engaged IL
the manufacture of watches of the very highe-t
grade known to Chronometry, uuequaled by
anything hitherto made by ourselves, and ul.
surpassed by anything made in the world. For
this purpose we have the amplest facilities. y"
have erected an addition to our main buidus
expressly for this branch of our business, anc
have filed it with the best workmen in our ser
vice. New machines and appliances have Deer
constructed which perform their work wlJl
consummate delicacy and exaCtness. The
choicest and most approved materials onlyaT
used, and we challenge comparison between
this grade of our work and the finest imported
chronometers. We do not pretend to sell Our
watches for less money than foreign watche'
but we do assert without fear of contradiction
that for the same money our product is incon
parably superior. All our watches, of whatevs
grade, are fully warranted, and this warranss'
is good at all times against us or our agents il
all parts of the world.
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to bH
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted
