viz: That the Convention has been carried by
notless than twenty thousand; that the negroes

probably uilety-fyo per cent. Of the whites
voted against it that the Convention is Radi-
cal by from cen TO twenty majority that a
number Of negroes, not less than twenty, are
elected. and that the negroes with only very
rare exceptions, voted for Radicals. BY the

A Boy Tries to Hang his Brother and
then Hangs Himself.
[Ernm the Afennii. Post. ISL.


A correspondent at lO4 Mile Siding, on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, sends us the
particulars Of the most singular and deplorable
occurrence at that place on the 18th inst;
Three children of VIM. Roberts IA workman
at the mill at the Siding, went out to the
woods, few hundred yards from the house, to
gather sticks for the fire to cook dinner
They were little boy of nine years Of age,
another Of seven. and little sister Of five
They mad with them some small cords or strings,
plated from the rawlings of old gunny sacks.
The elder boy took his smaller brother to a
bush not over SIX feet high, and bending 1t
down required his little sister 10 hold it bent
while he tied one of the strings mentioned
around his brothers neck and fastened the 9TH
er end TO the top Of the bush, and then let 1t
60 The bush, however had not sufficient
spring TO strangle the little fellow, and only
chok ed lin to a slight extent. The elder
brother then united him and took him TO a
stump, which had projecting limb, and tried
hard to hang him to it; but the cord, after
passing around his neck, was not long enough
TO tie around the limb, and he abandoned the
attempt. Having failed to hang bis brother,
the boy then seemed to have determined to
hang himself; and elimbingup asapiug about
fifteen feet high and about the thickness Of a
mans arm at tho ground, he made a slip moose
with the cord, which he placed aroundhis neck,
and tying the other end to the top of the sap
ling, he Jumped from the bush, bending it down
with his weight, and being strangled almost
instantly by the moose tightening on his neck.
The brother and sister ran to the house and
gave the alarm, but when assistance arrived the
boy was quite dead His knees were on the
ground, and the cord stretched tight by the
spring Of the sappling
The whole affair is a very singular one, con-
sidering the youth of the victim. Theact was
clearly premeditated, and the probable effect Of
the means understood.

The west virginia Election.

The result of the election in Yves. Virginia
on Thursday last for members Of the Lagsla.
ture, is yet uncertain. The Democratic gain
I'm Ohio county. including Wheeling, is nearly
600. The Wheeling Commercial Of Friday
says;
The democratic gains are, under the circum-
stances, truly astonishing Ohio County leads
off with "a majority of over 700; Brooke County
wheels into the democratic line and elects an
entire ticket Marshall makes heavy gains
Marion elects a radical but shows % democratic
GAIN of 250; Taylor wipes out the entire radi-
cal vote and elects a clean democratic ticket ;
jefferson seems to be on the same track; Har-
ris0n County is radical by greatly reduced
majority Hancock County shows a democratic
gain of 81, and Wood County of PSI.
If the news from the other portions Of the
State should be as favorable 70 the democrats
as those above enumerated, the election Of West
Virginia viii eclipse the Ohio election. ln Our
State some counties were SO manipulated by the
registration that there We're not voters enough
left 20 fill the county offices. In the Uch old
County of Hardy there were but Sjr'g-tigb'
voters registered, The same scale of dislran-
chisement prevailed In good Old Hampshire

A National Thanksgiving.


President johnson has issued the following
proclamation designating Thursday, the 2Sth
day of November, as day of national thanks
giving and praise:
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In conformity with recent custom, that may
now be regarded as establish on national con-
sent and approval. I, Andrew johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby recon-
mend TO my fellow-citizens that Thursday, the
twenty-eighth day Of November next, be set
apart and observed throughout the republic as
a day of national thanksgiving and praise to
the Almighty Ruler of Nations, with whom are
dominion and fear, who maketh peace in His
high places.
Resting and retaining from secular labors
on that day, let US reverently and devotedly
give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the
mercies and blessings with which He has
crowned the now closing year. Especially let
us remember that He has covered our land
through all its extent, with greatly needed and
very abundant haryeSts; that He has caused
industry to prosper, not only in our fields but
also in our workshops, in our mines, and in
our forests. lie has permitted us to multiply
ships upon our lakes and rivers, and upon the
high seas. and at the same time to extend our
iron roads so far into the secluded places Of
the continent as to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans. He has
inclined our hearts to turn away from domestic
contentious and connections, consequent upon
a distracting and desoating civil war, and to
walk more and more in the ancient ways Of
loyalty, Cancellation, and brotherly love. He
has blessed the peaceful efforts with which we
have established new and important CONNER
cial treaties with foreign nations, while we
have, at the same time. strengthened our ma
tional defenses, and greatly enlarged our ma
tional borders.
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute of national praise and thanks
giving, which is so Justly due to Almighty God,
let us not fail to implore Him that the same di-
vine protection and care which we have hither
to so undeseryedly, and yet so constantly en-
oyed, may be continued to our country and
our people throughout all their generations fjr-
ever.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this twenty
sixth day Of October, in the year Of our Lord

The Virginia Election.

BY extracts which we subjoin from the Viz
ginia press. says the NaiioHal iHteligencsr, it
will be seen that the efforts Of the negroes to
murder men Of their own color for voting the
Conservative ticket were not confined to Rich
mopd Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. Dis
graceful as were the scenes in those places we
/ find them eclipsed elsewhere At several pre-
cincts in Prince George County we find the ne
groes attending the polls armed with United
States rifles and pistols, and exercising violent
supervision over the voting. It was the same
in Sussex and Brunswick counties. In the
last county the guns were Government weapons.
They were cleaned and distributed, with am
munition, by lieutenant U. S A., the mill
tary officer there commanding. Near Fred
ericksburg there was Jail delivery Of negroes
to swell the Radical vote. In Prince George
county this aristocratc class. to whom, though
in a minority, General Schoied gave the State
by his gerrymande7, voted twoof their number
By proxy. and the commissioners Of the election
received the ballots TINS cast. They were
thrown out by military officer. We hope he

cause Of the murder as we are informed, are
these: During the war, Huntou who was a
soldier in Colonel Mosbys command, on one
occasion came very near being captured
through the treachery of Fletcher, who though
a citizen. piloted the Yankees to a farm house
at which he knew him to be spending the night
Meeting Fletcher for the first time since the
occurrence, at the polls, on Tuesday, Hunton
demanded an explanation Of his former conduct
Without further provocatiou and unexpectedly
to all present, he drew his revolver and fired
shooting Hunton directly through the heart
killing him on the spot. Fletcher was imme-
Giatcly arrested and is now in iai! at this place

character; his untimcly death is greatly la
