AN UNFoRrUSArR SHRRP.-A. N. King,
ESQ, OF Tunbridge, had a ram thorough
bred, that broke away from his place Of
confinement the 10th of Sept, carrying
chain and stake he was fastened with.
Search was made for him in almost every
direction, but all to no avail. The ram
had once been in the pasture of Mr.. Sill
ley with his sheep, and that was thor
oughly looked over. On the morning of
Oct. 9th, Mr.. s. missed one of his sheep,
and in making search for it came upon
the lost ram OF Mr.. King, by the side Of
an old bass stub, hitched to the clog of
wood, without solitary green thing
near him; he had gnawed the bark from
the old dry stub as far as he could reach.
All the room the ram could have was
about 2 IL by 8 feet, between the los
and the old stub, which had brought him
nearly to perfect stand still, and in
this situation he had lived for twenty
days, without food or water, save that
of the dry bark of the old stub. The
weight Of the ram few days before he
left was $50 pounds, but when found he
weighed but so pounds. So says Wal,

The VIRGINIA ELRCTIoN.-The follow

tion in Virginia, to be held on the 22d of
October:
"There will be at each poll box for
white voters and another box in which
colored voters will deposit their ballots.
Each of these boxes will be divided into
two apartments, into one of which voters
will deposit their ballot for or against a
Convention, and in the other ballot
with the names of persons as delegates
to the Convention. If more than the
proper number of names are written on
this ballot, then it will be thrown out
by the Commissioners when the vo tes

UNDOUBTEDLY. A despatch from
Washington of a late date says
There is good foundation for the re-
port that New York men have obtained
from the President demand upon
Secretary McCulloch that the Metropeli-
tan Revenue Board in New York be at
once abolished, on the ground that it is
opposed to the Democratic party.
OF course anything that interferes
with the operations Of rogues who are
cheating the government, or with the
free flow OF whiskey is opposed to the
Democratic party. This is not the first
time that the Democratic party has at
tempted to abolish things that were op-
posed to itself. 1t tried in 1851 to
abolish the Union and the government
because the Democracy could no longer
control them.

The Republican Campaign In the
south.

At length there seems prospect 'na'
= vigorous attempt is to be made TO
make the discussion of political topics
as free and safe in the Southern States
as in the Northera. The Union Repuoll'
can Congressional Committee is engaged
in forming the Republican voters OF the
South into a regular organization, so
that hereafter in that section, as we'll as
At the North, there are to be two separ'
ate and distinct political parties, each
acting as guardian over the other, point
ing out to the people its shortcomings
and dishonesties, and each criticising the
Others proceedings so as to make 1t next
to impossible for the stronger party to
commit outrages or frauds derogatory TO
The wishes or welfare Of the people.
This as it should be. 1t is what is
necessary to the existence OF repuoh-
can form of government, and until it is
effected, no plan of reconstruction that
could be of much practical value.
1t is not enough that we have over
powered treason and rebellion and
crushed slavery at the South. The lib
erty of discussion and lawful action must
also be indicated we must take meas
ures to establish at the South what we
pride ourselves upon at the North, and
without the existence and enjoyment OF
which the United States is as much OF 8
despotic government as Austria or
France,-free speech and free press.
All liberty-loving people will rejoice
no doubt to learn that already the Con-
gressional Committee has engaged and
in its service in the States lately in re-
bellion, q large number OF intelligent and
forcible speakers and organizers, and
that as a fruit Of their limited exertions
thus far, more than two thousand or
ganizations, with upwards Of five hun
dred thousand members, have been Gre
ated and banded together for the pur'
pose of diffusipg in the South the prin'
ciples of the Republican party,-the
party of the Union,-beside which al
others are sectional, and an adherence tc
whose teachings can but result in dan
ger or injury to the republic, the party
which carried the country safely through
the bloody ordeal OF 8 monstrous rebel
lion, and crushed to atoms the powel
which was instrumental in fomentins
and prosecuting it-human slavery.
When perfect freedom OF speech is Sc
cure in the South, when in the late slaV'
States no more restraint or OBSTRUCTION
shall be felt in the declaration or sup
port OF any political opinion than is ex
perienced here in New England, the wori
OF reconstruction will be accomplished
and the battle between right and wron;
will be more definitely settled in thos
States than though Congress was legis
lating for centuries upon the subjectan
enforcing each Of its edicts by bristlin;
bayonets backed by lusty soldiers,

The October Elections.

The receipt of the election returns has
been unusually slow this year. and
though elections were held in Pennsyl-
vanio, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa week
since, we have, in view Of the closenesss
of the vote, beee unable with accuracy
to lay the result in these States before
our readers until the present issue, and
though at this writing there are few
towns in all of the States mentioned to
hear from, the full returns will vary the
result but little from that now given.
In Pennsylvania, Sharswood, DEM, is
elected Judge of the Supreme Court by q
majority ranging from l, 400 to 1900.
In Ohio, Gen. Hayes is elected Cover
nor. as well as every officer on the Re-
publican State ticket. In the Legisls-
tive elections in this State the Democ-
racy are more successful than last year,
and will probably have a majority on
joint ballot OF three or four, thus Sc
curing the election Of copperhesd U.
s. Senator to the seat now occupied by
Hon. Ben. Wade.
From Indiana the returns are still
quite meagre, and though the vote is
light, the election being merely for local
officers, the State will undoubtedly give
as large Republican majority IS last
year.
Iowa stands true-blue, and elects the
straight Republican ticket by the hand
some majority of $4,000, notwithstand-
ing that the Liquor question, which
caused Democratic gai,s in Mainein Sep.
tember, was dragged into the politics oi
the State.
In conclusion, it may not be aniss t
mention that the vote Of Pennsylvani.
and Ohio is not as large as last year
snd that the Democratic vote is severa
thousand less in each of these State
than it was twelve months ago. Figure
won't lie, and when our Democratic
neighbors come to examine them, W
think they will admit that little @
their powder has been burnt in vain, an
that the roosters triumphantly crowin
st the head of Democratic columns, hav
had their tail feathers slightly plucket

THE SEVEN. THIRTY CoUNTERFEITs.-
The excitement in Washington over the
spurious seven-thirty bonds continued
undated during Saturday. Four thous-
and dollars worth of them were sent from
Cincinnati and presented to the Sub
Treasury for Identification. The clerks
acknowledged that they could not tell
whether they were counterfeit or not.
The clerks at q private banking house,
however, decided Immediately that they
were spurious. An individual who is
known, and whose description is now in
the hands of interested parties, present
ed $1,000 worth OF these bonds recently
to a house in Buffalo. S. NJ. Clark,
chief OF the printing bureau, has1made
an official report to the Secretary of the
Treasury of the counterfeit seven-thirty
notes of the denomination of $1,000,
second series, dated June Is, 1865. He
says:
"The notes OF this denomination and
series were all printed In this depart
nent, with four notes upon each sheet,
and the notes were lettered respectively
with the check letters, A, B, c, and d,

ITALI.-The true meaning of the Carl
baldlan movement rapidly reveals itself,
and there can be little doubt THAT there
is perfect understanding between Carl
baldi and Victor Emanuel, and Napoleon
also, as to the means by which Rome is
to be wrested from the Pope, A late
cable telegram represents affairs in Italy
as very grave, and that it is the general
belief that the whole italian nation will
follow Garibaldi in his effort to restore
Rome to Italy. 1t is further announced
that King Victor Emanuel will soon pass
the Roman frontier and proclaim Rome
a part of the kingdom.

SERIOUS RIoT.-One of the most seri-
Gus riots that ever occurred in law-abid-
ing New England, took place in West
Acid, Mass, Saturday night, and resulted
in the death of one OF the citizens Of the
town. The cause of the disturbance was
q well-planned and skillfully executed
raid upon notorious gambling den, the
raiders being a party of State constabu-
larry, under the direction of Deputy Sam
uel Chaplin of Springfield. The man
killed was named John II. Brooks, the
proprietor of drinking saloon. He was
urging the mob to the rescue of the pris-
oners whom the officers had arrested,
and was shot in the thigh by officer
Chaplin, severing the main artery, from
The effects OF which death ensued in a
few minutes. The officers escaped to

Sunday and confined in Jail.

The building was insured for $500, and
Mr.. Spear had 5000 insurance, which
