ELECTION DAY.

One week from next Tuesday the
election is held. Is every Union
man in the county prepared for it ?
Has each one, and all, done whatever
lies in their power to secure the sue
cess of the Union party? On the
result of this election depends mat.
ters of great Importance. On the
success of the Union party and its
principles depends the pcrpetuity OF
the Union--the firm establishment oil
the Government. Let the Copper.
heads succeed, and we are thrown
tied hand and loot, into the power Of
the greycoats; all that the grand and
noble army of the Union has gained
is lost--lost almost beyond recovery

Of the New York Herald. The pub
fishers of that paper, finding that
Johnson stock was below par, and
falling fast, have withdrawn and con
cludcd to go on the safe side. The
Times, Raymond's paper, also shows
signs of disgust, and will probably
entirely leave the sinking ship very
shortly.

In his blf thering { for it cannot be

at the Court House during the 6zzle

the halt. dozen soldiers in the au-

no appropriation for that purpose

that statement. Hon. Geo. Laskey,

pay the bounties according to the
act passed by Congress.

At tic late Copperhcad fizzle, not
an American flag was to be seen.
But about dozen or so blue coats,
or those who had worn them in the
service, were there.
At the Union meeting on Saturday

in all directions, and blue coats were
plenty.

A GLORIOUS TIME IN rIrTsBURG.
The soldiers are having grand
time in Pittsburg. The city is one
mass of flags, banners and notices,
and the crowd in the city is immense,
so large in fact that the managers of
the Convention appealed to the pco
pie to open their houses and accom-
nodate the throng. 1t is q large

try.

he sent in letter of resignation. II

Remarkable HigtorH Of a Torpedo Boat

General Maury' s-report of the, defence of
Mobile narrates the eventful history of a tor
pedo boat as follows :
''Itwas built of boiler iron, was about thir-
ty-fve feet long, and was manned by crew
OF nine men, eight of whom worked the pro-
peller by hand. The ninth steered the boat
aud regulated her movements below the sur
face of the water. She could be submerged.
at pleasure to any desired depth, or could be
propelled upon the surface. In smooth, still
water, her movements we're exactly controls
ed, and her speed was about four knots It.
was intended that she should approach any
vessel lying at anchor, pass under her keel,
and drag floating torpedo, which would ex-
plode on,striking tho side or bottom of the
ship attacked.
''She could remain submerged more than
half an hour without Inconvenience to Ler.
! crew.
"Soon after her arrival in Charleston, Lit
| Payne, of the Confederate navy, with eight
others, volunteered to attack the Federal feet
with her, While preparing for her expedi>
| ton, the swell of q. passing steamer caused
her to sink suddenly, and all hands, except
| Lieutenant Payne, who. at the. moment was
standing in the hatchway, persisted. She
was soon raised and again ready for service.
| Lieutenant Payne volunteered to command
her. While lying near Fort Sumter she cap
sized and again sank in deep water drowning
all hands except the commander and two
! others.
"Being again raised and prepared for ac-
ton Mr.. Auuley. one of the constructors,
made an experimental cruise in her in Coop
er river. While submerged at great depth,
from some unknown cause, she became un-
manageable, and remained for many days on
the bottom of the river, with her crewof nine
dead men.
ga fourth time was the boat raised, and
Lieutenant Dixon, of Mobile, Of the 21st vol
unteers, with eight others, went out of
! Charleston harbor in her, and attacked and
sunk the Federal steamer Hsusatonic.

HUMAN observation-disclosures of being
loved gives comfort and strength, and makes
trust in God real living feeling that in
fuences the daily lite. If there is no love
above us, then our hearts grow hard, and we
find it difficult to rise at once, without the
aid of human steps, above earthly pain and
dcsolation to love and confidence in God :;
all has a tendency to become dark above as
it is around; whereas love and kindness keep
our hearts open; dear loving people are to
us witnesses Of the love and tenderness of
God arc his angels whom hc.scnds to show
us that he has not forgotten US.

And every bird singing,
OF the same secret knows!
EknOw not what the flowers
Can feel, or singers sec,-
But all these summer raPtures.
Are prophecies OF thee

"Mack," the Washington correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Commercial, in his last
letter, thus tacetiously takes off the Com.
mittee of Fifteen. There is-a good deal oF
quiet humor about some of the illusions of
"Mack"
am sorry to observe the disposition. on
the part of the Reconstruction Committee to
suppress, in the pretended publication of Gen.

OF that distinguished officers examination
violate no confidence in giving it AS follows
