Vote on the New Constitution,

We give below the vote of Counties re-
Gently received. There are four Counties yet
to be heard from officially. The result Will
be announced after the 29th instant. The.
total vote, with these four Counties to be
heard from, is 1875 for ratification, and
eO,55O for rejection. We think it may be
taken for granted that the Constitution has
been rejected.
The Counties below are all Western. They
are thoroughly loyal, and in favor of the
white basis, which is provided for in the
New Constitution.

Extract from letter to the Editors of the
STANDARD, dated East Tennessee, Aug. 10Th,

Extract from letter to the Editors of the
Standard, dated East Tennessee, Aug. 10th,
1866:
The people are becoming unduly excl
ted in East Tennesee-some endorsing the
course of the President, and condemning the
course of Congress, and oice cersa. Each
party denouncing the other; politicians
making speeches over the country, &C.. all of
which is calculated to bring trouble upon us.
The other day there were two men killed at
Tazewell, Claiborne County Tennessee, which
is said to have been the result of speech
made there by member of the Tennessee
Legislature. just returned home. A Union
man was killed recently at Estelville, Virginia,
by rebels, because, as learn, he refused to
be drilled by rebel officers who had taken it
upon themselves to organize the militia, but,
for what purpose, am not informed.
l fear, / awfully fear that worse times are
coming upon u.s."
The Selma, Ala, Messenger uses the fol-
lowing complimentary language with regard
to young gentleman of that place, who is
much given to serenading the ladies :-"'For
having heard him declare in tuneful strains,
to each of six young ladies in one evening,
that she was ell the world to him, we can
safely endorse him as the most harmoni-

Union Meetings.

We publish to-day the proceedings of
an Union meeting held in the County of
Surry. The resolutions are ably drawn,
and breathe a loyal spirit The friend
who sends us the proceedings of this
meeting urges the holding of Union meet
ings generally throughout the State, in
which we concur. Other friends have
written US suggesting State Conven-
ton of the Union men, to be held some
time next month. If the Unionists of the
State desire to hold Convention, let some
of the meetings at once suggest the day.
No time is to be lost. We have no au-
thority to name the day.
The Surry meeting, like those held in Hen
derson and Washington Counties, has en-
dorsed the proposed Constitutional amend
ment. We have no hesitation in expressing
the opinion that the true Union men of this
State are, as general thing, in favor of
this amendment. Gov. Worth and his faction
ae opposed to it. Let the people all over
the State keep an eye upon those who as
sail and denounce this amendment, so that
Congress may know, at the proper time, who
nnsht to be- and who ought not to bare
lieved of the disability, in case the amend
lnent should be adopted We know there
are some Union men who are opposed to it,
because they apprehend it will enable some
unrepentant secessionists, who have never Ia
ken an oath to support the federal Constitu.
ton, to hold office but as these persons are
moved solely by what may be called exces-
sive Unionism. there will be no barrier to re-
ieving them of the disability.
The Union men of this State hold now, as
they did in May, 1865, that the States should
return to the Union, not with secessionists
and latter-day war men in office, but Union
end foremost Such were the instructions
given by President Johnson in August last,
to all the Provisional Governors. Those in
structions are as binding now as they were
then, and we want to see them carried out.
We are glad to hear of converts to Unionism.
we WOufQ take tucS6 COuFCilo ny VIC MANU-
cordially and induct them into the Union
church, but it isneither right nor polite to
make elders or preachers of them at once.
Gov. Orr, for example, says South Carolina
has sinned," and that he is sorry for it.
Now, if Gov. Orr will make good this adj
mission by his acts, he will prove himself a
good Union man but we have NO idea he
speaks for his State, for two-thirds of his
people glory in what they did, and do not
admit they have "sinned," but that they
were simply overpowered. Such people
should not be surprised that the loyal mill
ions of the North and West are in no hurry
to admit them to the full privileges of the
Union. We must cast off all ON secession
" finery," and go back in our Union rags
You have got to do it, gentlemen, and the
sooner the better.

The Marlborough Southeryer snd one of its
rebel, ribald correspondents, have made an
effort to be amusing at the expense ct the
Senior Editor of the Standard. We do not
regard such cattle as these. The Southerner
is a dirty, funky sheet. 1t smells badly.
The new batch of traitors who have got
ten possession of the Wilmington Dispatch,
are putting on airs towards the Standard
We believe one of these traitors was once In
Raleigh before Gen. Kruger, on the charge OF
sedition The General was lenient with
him. He ought to have been condemned to
twelve months hard labor at Fort Pulaski,
with ball and chain.
The question is, shall traitors or loyal men
rule this country2 This question viii be
finally answered and settled in about six
months. Traitors win fall on their bellies
again, and eat dirt, as they did in 1865, and
true men will be appreciated and honafed-
Mark the prediction.

THE Corn CRoP OF THE UNITED STATES.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gasstts

We do not say that the vote on the. Com

have been ratified by ten thousand majority.

The PHILADELPHIA ADDREsS.-We must

say that the address, as wAole, commands

Sentinel.
This being the case, why does not the
Sentinel urge Gov. Graham, Mr.. Turner, Mr..
Clark, and other members elect to Congress
who cannot take the oath, to resign, so that
members can be elected who will be received
by Congress- The Philadelphia Address
calls for "loyal" representatives, and the
President has emphatically declared, time
and again, that the members of Congress
from the Southern States must be persons
who can comply with any existing consti
tutional or legal test"
But the Sentinel and those for whom it
speaks, have no idea of carrying out even the
Presidents plan. They are at heart the
worst enemies the President has, and if he
should lean upon them they "will pierce
him through with many sorrows" Their
great effort is to perpetuate confusion and
disorder, in the hope that bloody conflict
will take place among the Northern people.
Such conflict would at least crafty their
vengeance, if it did not give them an oppor-
tunity to make good their independence.

PERRY DAVIS PAIN KILLEH--wc have often

PERRY DAVIS PAIN KILLER--Wc have often
spoken of this great medicine in terms Of very
bigh praise and we have so often felt that all we
could say in its favor would not do it full justice.
Ii is one Of those medicines Of which we can
speak--and speak decisively-from experience !;
for we have repeatedly taken it, and invariably
with the best results and the greatest satisfaction.
We always keep it on hand, ready for and emer-
ceucy, and we regard it as not only one Of the
ycry best and most reliable of medicines in use
for various ills but as one Of the cheapest also.
Its cost. bv the way-that is the cost of some of
the imported ingredients of which il is composed
has been considerably increased since the CON-
mcncencnt of the war, but the price OF the med
icine has been but very little advanced. X IS not
likely that the popularity of Davis Pain Killer
will in any measure decrease, or that the demand
for it will in the slightest degree decline, until
some other specific for allaying pain and curing
the various complaints for which l. is so generally
used, shall be discovered, of equal potency to it
-of which there seems to be little probability at
this time. As a remedy for stomach complaints,
such as dysentery diarh9a- &c, the Pain Killer
is without doubt unsurpassed, and every where
most deservedy in demand. One, two, or three
doses,-of not more than half teaspoonfnl each,
in q winegiass Of water or milk, with little ss-
gar-have repeatedly, within our knowledge, eff
fectually cured serious trouble Of this kind
Judgment should undonbtedly be nsed in not

where 1t would tap tile Rutland road.
This would afford Boston route to the

Rutland, Saratoga, and Schenectady, more
than forty miles shorter than that by Fitch

people along the route from Bradford,

a; least half million dollars towards the
building of the road.
