We will Win the Fight.

Although large number of Union men
undoubtedly preferred some other man than
Gorham as their standard bearer in the
present campaign, we are grati6ed to see that
the Union men of the State are gradually
falling into line, and preparing to enter into
the contest with settled determination to
win the fight, and once more put the Copper
heads and Secessionists TO rout.
The platform enunciated by the Democratic
leaders at the late Convention has served to
convince Union men that Democracy still
clings to its old idols-still cherishes its hos
tility to Congress and its Ian of reconstruc'
ton. The same men constructed this plat
form who waged war upon the Government
from the beginning of the slave rebellion to
the present time and who are known to be
the sworn enemies of freedom, progress, and
united Republic The attempt to smooth
over the events of the past few years, through
the medium of this platform, failed entirely,
on account of the well known character and
creed of the men who dictated its construc-
ton. Loyal expressions from the pens of
such men as Burch, Bigler, Coffroth and
Chipman, have no music to the ears of Union
men who know them, and are familiar
with their real sentiments and strong rebel
proelivities.
| On the other hand, the Union party goes
into the campaign on platform unexcep-
tionable, and upon which no citizen need
blush to stand. In short, ours is the plat
form of principle. and open and manly
declaration Of opinion theirs, the platform
of inconsistency, subterfuge and deceit.
For one, we have no fears for the result of
the campaign. We honestly believe every
man on the Union ticket will be elected, de-
spite the croakings of the weak kneed camp
followers of the Union army of California.
and the spasmodic efforts of the resurrectors
of the putrid corpse of the Democratic party.
The Union men of this State are not to be
intimidated by the nomination of q State
ticket by fosslized remnant of dead
party, nor are they to be frightened into
submission at the dictation of two or three
subsidized and unprincipled newspapers
Our motto is,-Liberty, Justice and Union.
Our goal-Victory.

ALL-SAINTS' DAY-HALLow EvE.-This
day, November lst, is All-Saints' Day, or
AL Uallow's, which is held sacred by the
Catholic Church in honor OF all the saints.
The festival will be celebrated in all the
Catholic and Episcopal churches. Besides
the usual morning masses, there will be a
high mass at St. Peters cathedral at half
past 10 o'clock this morning. Services
will be held at st. Paul's (EpiScopal)
church at II o'clock.
1t has been remarked that it is a COM
mon practice of the Catholic Church to
observe certain days in honor of the re-
spective saints whose memory they sa-
credly revere. But inaSmuch as there are
besides many other saints, for each one Of
whom it would not be possible to observe a
separate day of festival, All-Saints' Day is
celebrated in honor of them collectively.
THERE'S nothing specially different in the
religious exercises of this occasion to dis
tinguish it from celebrations in honor of
individual saints +; but having more COM
prehensve application, it has attained a
degree Of observation outside Of the Catho-
lie Church which none of the other festi-
val days have. It's observance of days is
among the most solemn rites of catho-
licity.
On Hallow Eve, or the last night Of Oc-
tober, according to Scotch tradition,
fairies and witches held their carnival, and
festivities and telling often cha
racterized its celebration in the olden
time. 1t was in keeping with this view
that Burns wrote his celebrated poem
4" Halloween"
"Amang the bonnie winding banks,
Where Doom runs whipping clear,
Where Bruce ance rul'd the martial ranks,
An shook his Carrick spear.
Some merry friendly countra folks,
Togithcr did convene,
To burn their nits, an pou their stocks,
An haud their Halloween

The STORM AND FREsHET.-The storm
of which tclegraphic accounts have been
received from points all along the At
lantic coast from New Orleans to Phila-
delphia did not pass Richmond without
leaving traces Of its visit.
On Sunday night the rain commenced ;
Monday, it was misty and walking was un-
pleasant Tuesday, the clouds were emp
tied of torrents Of water; but on We'd
nesday night the climax was capped.
Thursday morning our citizens were
surprised to find the roofs Of the houses
and the branches Of the trees covered with
snow. A veritable snow storm had left its
foot prints on the seven hills of Richmond,
although the second month of autumn had
not yet expired. Many fine shade trees,
and among them some on the Capitol
Square, which had not dropped their
leaves at the first frosty blasts of ap-
preaching winter, had their branches
broken beneath the combined weight of
snow and foliage.
The snow continued to fall until s
o'clock, misty rain succeeded, and at
about noon the sun burst forth in all his
glory. The white sheet vanished, pools
were dried, and before n1Sht we rcJolced
at fine weather.
The rain and melted snow were not
without effect upon the ''noble James"
The water rose about five feet, and com
pletelv covered several of the wharvcs at
Rockets. The liliputian steamer X. +.
Lee was lCoSed from her moorings, and
took an excursion "on her own hook u
| down towards Drewry's Bluff. A canoe
with two men, was dispatched after her.
and she is now at her old anchorage. The
steamer Nellie Baker, sunk below
| Rockets, rose with the occasion, and de-
parted for parts unknown.
In the country the small streams were
much swollen, and in some places bridges
were washed away.
At last accounts the rain had ceased
the water had fallen, and all was "lulct
along the James"
