tried to argue them out Of it, but failing TO effect
their object by that means they accused them
Of being influenced either by fear Of losing their

that they considered that The Irish belonged. body

he got him inside the barn door. he despatched
him with Q small axe he had secured. He then
went back TO the house and told Mrs. Deerng that
there was something the matter with one Of the
cows, and he wanted her to come to the barn. She
went and he followed, and as soon as she entered
inside. he struck her on the head and killed
her.
He then went back TO the house aud brought the
children cut one at time, and taking them inside
the barn. despatched them one by one. with the
same axe. In each instance he cut their throats
and placed their bodies in the corn crib himself,
just in the position they were found.
He then covered their bodies up aud proceeded

Slaughtered.
The long. dark night which has developed the
Union men of Marshall county for the last four
years is about drawing to . close. The we'll
known sympathy of the leaders of the Democratic
party with Slavery and Treason IL beginning 70
have its effect on the public mind. Add to this the
profigacy and corruption with which they have con-
dscted the ahiirs Of the county and corporation,
and it is little wonder that the people becoming
weary Of Copperhsad misrule.
Monday was glorious day for the Union men
OF Plymouth. Although not expecting even the
success they me. with. they yet determined to oOn
test every inch of ground. and the result shows
what earnest effJrt will effect The Copperhea ads
confidently counted upon a ijority Of at least IS
votes; indeed they did not expect the Republicans
even to make show of fight. They had imposed
enormous taxes upon the people, and spent the
money without visible benefit to the public. They
had no minated ticket pledged to a continuance
Of proaiglcy and ex.ravagance. Ii Was time for
the tax payers TO look about them for honest men
in whom to confde their interests.
The defeat Of Corbin and Reeve, Copperhead
candidates for Trustees Of the lst and End Wards,
is particularly gratifying - all loyal men, wherever
their unenviAble reputation extends. Corbin had
his swn little schemes to further by getting the
Town Board. and Reeve, doubtless, wrote ont for
~ different Ordinances between the hour of his
nomination and the morning Of the election, be-
sides resolutions Of respect for his brother 8. L.
MAJ. Gen. L. P. Milisan. rendering him the free
dom Of the city. His election would have furnish.
co him with endless stories, beginning with when
was on the Town Board" &c.
The need OF an efficient Marshal has long been
felt BY our citizens. We think that Mr.. Humric-
houser 10 we'll suited 10 that Office. and we con
graduate all well disposed persons on his election
The successful Republican candidates for Trustees.
Msssrs. Gray and Oglesbee, are gentlemen well
known to be qualified for the positions which they
have been elected to fill. The balance of the
Union ticket were good men and true, and the on
ly reason we can assign for their non election 10
that shsy did not get votes enough to beat their
opponents.
