MOVE THE COLLEGE REJECTED.
 WASHINGTON, April 7 1867. : The news uv the election in Connection created the most profound sensation at the Corners. It cum to us so unexpected, st like clap uv thunder from a clear sky, ol ruther so like gleam of suniite through 2 mass nv overpoWerin black clouds so like the first streak of sunlite iii the mornin af ter long nite uv cholera morbus with nc brandy ill the house, that We NuZ overpOw. cred with it. The Corners heyn't experi enct sich satisfactory spasrh of joy sence the receet uv the news nv the Fort Pillel affair. 1t perdoost a very singler effect ou Deekin Program. When I cum up to hin with the news, he wuz engaged with all the elokence he possest trying to convince . nigger, which formerly belonged to him. that, after all the southerners themselves wuz the only ones which the niggers cooG trust, and that when the time cum for then! to exercise the 'lective franchise ef they he'd any regard for their own interests they ] wood turn their backs on the Ablishinists who wuz, to a man, hory headed deceevers and trust them and them only who knoTd em.
 "Samyooel, said the Deekin, in affec shunit tone, with one hand on the nigger's shoulder, ''why shoodent we love 700: You are bone uv our bone, and flesh uv oul fesh-we are uv one blood" (this remark the Deekin got into habit some years age uv getting off when speekin uv the Dimoc- risy North, and alluz uses it. It is ruthe1 effective, tho in this instance, ef I he'd bin in his place, l shoodent hev slung it out, owin to the pecooliar construckshen which mite be put onto it," and our interests is one, Samyooel."
 ''Deekin,' sez I, interruptin him. ''Dee- kin! Connecticut hez spoken in thunder tones, and hez gone Dimocratic!''
 "Wat!' sez he, Dimocratic!'
 "Verily," sez I "A Governor and three Congressmen out of four"
 There wuz a sudden rupcher uv the friendly relashuns existin between the Dee kin and Samyooel the dark complexioned. Ii he wuz nv the Deekin's flesh the Deekin was ill favor of mortifyin it, for never wuz flesh so belabored ez was that unfortunit chattels. The flesh was immejitly lassera- ted. He pitched into him feroshus, and af- ter pummelin the astonished Aferkin, who didn't see why the result of elecshun shood work sich change, till he wuz out nv breath, he condenst wat strength was remainin into one vigorous kick, eXclaim- in
 "Take that, you black swindler I've talked sweet to you under false pretenses. I've been betrayed into wasting soft sawder onto nlgger-lnto a coaXin Whar l have a l ondeniable rite to command-into-" "What does all this mean?" said the nigger faintly.
 "Meanr' sed to him; my frend, this is the reaction we've heard so much about it's arriv. It means that there Is Q exceed ingly good chance uv yoor bein redoost agin to your normal speer, of your comin down from the high hoss you've bin ri- din, and in bein .agin a servant unto your brethren. It means that Connecticut has again spoken, and that yoor good deal more valyooable to us than 700 waz hour ago. Go, my friend, and buy salve for yoor brooses, for unless yoor heeled, yoor value will be less in the markit. You'd be ashamed to sell for a low price, woodent you?"
 left the Dimocrasy jubilant and cum on to Washinton, feelin that l must go where I could find kindred soles The mite I ar rived there wuz high carnival at the White House. The President wuz ill high feath- CT. There wuz Connecticut visible all over him. He he'd a wooden nutmeg for bug gum pin--a minatoor bass wood ham hung from his watch fob, and in honor of the oc. cashun he wuz drinkin punches made oi Moo England rum, with small slices oi Wetherstield unyons in em instead nv lemons. Randall sprung toward me ez ] opened the door, and clasped me by one not altogether onlike the three graces- embraced. They he'd the advantage uv me, ez they he'd one odor-the onyon- which I hedent, but I stood 1t. Why not when that odor wuz from the breaths uy those havin the apintin power? l wood hev stood 1t he'd they bin eatin assof9tida At this juncture Secretary Welles cum in
 "Ha!" said he, ''why this unwonted hi larlty? why this joy wher greef ginerally has held her court?"
