Judging by the intelligence from the South,
It's indicated by the last news from Virginia, the
rebels have given up all hope since the October
elections, and Grant and Colfax will get every
electoral vote. The foolish plot to run tickets in
Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, in defian ce OF
the act of Congress, has already exploded.
The New York HemM says that 'the erup-
ton in the Democratic patty goes ahead of
the eruption of Vesuvius and the stining up of
South America, and all the otlcrr recent shaking

A FALLEN STAR.-Some ten years ago, a
lady, the daughter Of q distinguished mer.
chant Of Cincinnati, became enamored Of q
young man then clerking in her fathers
store. The parents opposed the marriage,
and the scarcely formed engagement was
broken off. Soon afterward she disappear
ed from her home, and year subsequently
was discovered leading on abandoned life in
St. Louis. Young, beautiful and educated,
she was nevertheless thoroughly depraved.
Her parents made every endeavor to re-.
store her to her home, but in vain. Fas-
cinated with the allurements Of her vicious
career, she could not be weaned from it.
Two days ago this woman, once so fiattered
and carcssed by society, so fitted to adorn its
high circles, was brought to the Central sta
ton in this city in sswheelbarrow, picked
up in the street in state Of utter drunk
enness. She still preserves the traces Of
the remarkable beauty that once won the
hearts Of all who saw her. But the day of
her prosperity is over, and she is rapidly
descending the path that leads to q pauper's
grave. A few now would recognize in the
features Of Sallie Dean, the belle and beauty
of the Western metropolis. .-Ne,o Orleans
