GLovER's GAP, September s, 1865.
Editors of the Register:
In consequence of having nothing OF
Importance to communicate, we have
said nothing lately through the COL
umns of your very excellent paper.
On last Saturday, the citizens having
previously arranged, raised pole and
flag for Seymour and Blair. The pro-
cession was very respectable tor our un-
dulating country. The pole was hauled
by fourteen yoke of oxen, and at the
head of the column flag was carried By
q standard bearer on horseback. Some
of the Radicals claim, we understand,
that this was "rebel flag"
This is not remarkable, rs they have
wandered so far away from the path
way of the Constitution that they do
not any longer recognize the "Star
Spangled Banner" Our very much re-
sran tod ord. WORTHY nitiZeJn from Man
ningtOn, j. Nj. IOder, assisted MS, rs he
always does in charitable and patriotic
enterprises.
Democracy Is fully alive anu deter
mined to win.
The registrar for this township has
dsfranchised above one-half of our
citizens, but the remainder are deter.
mined to vote the Democratic ticket, if
it is treason against Radicals.
We have but few "Rads" here, and
could get along with less.
Very kindly, OBSERVER.

CHAPTER III.

I. Now when jacob, whose surname
is Parsons, and Enoch, whose surname
is Minear, and Jacob, whose surname
is Dumire, had, by their evil deeds, in
cured the displeasure of all the people
throughout all the land of Tucker, so
that they had not friend in all the
land,
2. They communed one with an
other, saying, "Our friends have for
saken us and that wicked rebel Tucker
is exposing our villainies and bringing
US to public scorn. By him the half
has not yet been told, therefore to stop
his mouth let US resign.
3. And in our resignation we will tell
lie, even this: Governor of West
Virginia if we follow your instructions
longer the Rebels will destroy our stock,
burn our homes and kill us.
a. Now when Arthur heard these
things he was exceeding angry, and
called unto him Old TAFT and said unto
him:
5. Uncap the Internal regions and
rake with fine tooth comb, that three
such faithful servants may be found as
those resigned.
6. Then old TAFT did all that was
commanded him, and raked the re-
motest corner of Arthur's little hell,
and but two such monsters could be
found William Corrick, - Lin
drey, and with them was appointed a
decent man, James Miller.
Z. And l, Tucker, stood afar off and
saw these things, and will hereafter re-
port the public acts as well as private
works of the new Board.

A Deserved Compliment 10 George
III. Pendleton.

The Memphis 4rdldnche truly says:
"The Hon. George III. Pendleton has
shown transcendent greatness since the
nomination of Seymour and Blair He
has nobly lost sight of himself in the
great struggle for freedom. He seems
to be ubiquitous-here, there, every
where pleading for the right. He seems
to think that his defeat, his wrongs,
are nothing in comparison with the
great destiny of the country. Pendle-
dleton has more of the affections of the
American people now than he had be-
fore the National Democratic Conven-
ton. His conduct has been magDani-
nous, grand and lofty. He speaks
almost every day. In all his powerful
and eloquent addresses, he epitomizes
the Democratic creed thus Fidelity to
the Constitution Fidelity to the Union!
Fidelity to the rights of the States !!
Fidelity to the liberties Of the citizen |!
Fidelity to the principles of govern
ment! Fidelity to that policy in mat
ters of finance and taxation, which, by
paving the 500 bonds in legal tender
notes, will lift from the shoulders Of
labor the burthens which oppress il;
and by equality of taxation will make
it reap the just rewards of patient and
cheerful industry. This is platform
which all honest men can and will sup
port, and they will support Seymour
and Blair as its representatives.

wns saved from Death.
We find the following thrilling ac-
count of somnambulist in the st. Louis
Republican
"There is n young man living on
Chestnut street, whose name we do not
give, for obvious reasons, who has for
wears been in the habit of walking in
his sleep whenever anything harrassed
or distressed his mind. He came home
early evening before last, much per-
picked about a note due him and which
had not been paid, and, after a
light supper and some pleasant
conversation with his family, re-
tired for the night. He has .
brother, whose duties require his at
tendance down town until twelve
o'clock each night, and night before
last he did not get away from his store
till one. The room occupied by him ad.
Joins the room of the somnambulist,
and, upon his arrival at home, he pro-
ceeded straight to his own room, that
he might not disturb any one, as he had
done hundred times before; but, prov
identially, as it came about, he had for
gotten to put some matches in his pock-
ct at the store, and was obliged to 60
into his brothers room to get some.
The gas was burning brightly; the bed
had been occupied, his brothers clothes
were upon q chair, but otherwise the
room was empty.
knowing the peculiarities of his
brother, and getting more uneasy the
longer he waited, he aroused the rest of
the family aud inquired about him.
They knew nothing, and all then COM
menced searching the house. The elder
brother went up into the garret, where
there was a skylight opening upon the
roof, through trap-dOor, and this trap
door was lifted. Fearing the worst, the
brother pushed his way through the
aperture, aud there, seated upon the
furthest and narrow edge of the south
ern wall, was the missing man, with
his hands clasped around one knee, en-
dishabille, and the whole attitude ex-
pressing detection. The brother was a
brave man, but the sight filled him
with horror. The least start back
wards, the swerve even Of half hairs
breadth, and the somnambulist
would be dashed to pieces upon
the stones below, three stories
sheer down. But the elder brethers
presence of mind was wonderful. Know
ing it would be instant death If he
awoke him by calling to him, and fear
ing to grasp him lest in the terror of
surprise he should spring backward
from the shock, this man, with love
greater than all else, and lending him
nerve and wisdsm, rushed down into
his own room where there was long,
stout rope; said never word to the
family, although his face was az white
as q grave cloth; knottea o moose as he
ran back up the step; and then, still un-
willing to trust his own strength, he
tied one end to the chimney, and then
by dexterous cast, threw the rope
tightly around his brothers shoulders,
literally dragging him from his fearful
perch before lie became conscious"

TO the rn,elligencer "Joker.v

A gentleman who highly appreciates
the joking ability of the editor of the
Mtelligencer, asks us to make the follow
ing propositions:
He offers to bet the aforesaid editor
lst. 500 that the Radical party has
lost over 6OO0 in Maine, on the last full
vote-that of two years ago.
I'd. 500 that GRANT will not be elect
ed the next President.
Sd. 800 that West Virginia will 60
for SEYMOUR aud BLAIR en- the Sd of
November.
4th. 800 that Pennsylvania will do
the same thing.
5th. 800 that New York will do the
same thing.
All five propositions to be taken to-
gether.
1t is well known that the editor of
the nteIligencrr never believes any
thing he writes, ahd, hence, he will be
too wise to accept this offer.

HEAVY RADICAL LOSS.
Grand Democratic Gain.
THERE-ACTION ROLLING ON
Seymour will Sweep the Country
in November.
The People Demand "Peace"
and Peace.TaXatiOn.
A dispatch from Boston says:

A dispatch from Boston says:
Returns of the Maine election as re-
ceived up to this hour. indicate the
election of the Republican ticket by a
majority not varying far from 10000.
This, as compared with the vote of 1866,
the last election at which full vote
was polled, shows Republican loss OF
nearly 5000 votes.
n Thus far the returns have only been
received mainly from the central and
middle of the State, wherein the Rad
ical strength has always exceeded thai
of their opponents. 1t is fair, there
fore, to suppose that the general aver
age will show the absve result. The
ratio of individual losses is about equal,
according to an impartial estimate.
The Democracy have worked nebly,
and succeeded not only in increasing
their own vote to degree hardly an
ticipated, but in greatly reducing the
majority of their opponents. Money,
men and talent have been concentrated
upon the "Dirigo" State only to prove
that she, too, is one day to return to
the defence of the Constitution and the
Union.
