Never has the he-electric cord which connects
the Atlantic with the Pacific conveyed more
glorious intelligence to the loyal people of
California, than Il at which flashed across the
continent on Wednesday last. The tone of
the copperhead press of the east was so con-
fident that they would be able to carry a
number of the States which held their elec-
tions on November 9th. that our people
awaited the result with considerable anxiety.
The returns from New York were especially
looked for with many doubts and fears, the
Copperhead element being SO large in the
city that it was apprehended that the loyal
yeomanry of the interior counties would be
unable to overcome it, and when the news
was received that the Union party had swept
everything before them, from the pine-clad
hills of the East to the broad prairies of the
West, rolling up unprecedented majorities
for their candidates, and showing that the
mass of the people are still true to the prin-
ciples of liberty and equality, it sent thrill

1 am still of the opinion that the Republican
party will elect the State ticket, but Storey,
Churchill and Nye are pretty generally con-
ceded for the Democrats. The disaffection
between the Nye and DeLong factions may
be the means of defeating the Republican
State Ticket. The money spent by both

THREE REMARKABLE WIDows.-

lHREE NlbOhos
York correspondent writes as follows:
Grounding the Fifth Avenue Hotel corner
a few days ago, I met, just at the Broad
way crossing of Fifth Avenue, the tall,
handsome and stately widow Of John J.
Crittenden. She was looking in splendid
health, was magnificently dressed, and
attracted the attention of many who did
not know her by personal appearance.
Mrs. Crittenden is still a well preserved
woman. She had hardly disappeared
down Broadway, before 1 was surprised
to see another distinguished lady pass in
the opposite direction, going up Fifth
Avenue. She was not so well preserved,
nor so young, but still a noticeable lady.
She was once the wife of Daniel Webster.
As this lady went up Fifth Avenue, a no
less distinguished lady passed down the
street in her carriage-Mrs. General Philip
Kearney that was, O magnificent woman
in appearance, with much natural beauty
and a good deal more that was artificial.
General Kearney, it will be remembered,
left two widows, each Of whom was desig-
mated in his will as his wife. This was
his second wife, formerly a Miss MAXWELL,
daughter Of a former Collector of this
port, and q distinguished merchant.
