AS wood is now so scarce and so high, would
it not be we'll to call the attention Of those who
are poor, to the fact that it will not be possible
for them to be supplied with wood, and that
therefore, they must procure cheaper fuel
The cheapest fuel that can be used is Cum
berland coal One ton Of this, with economy,
will keep stove fire going for five Or SIX
months. Let every poor person therefore try
at once to procure ton of Cumberland coal.

From Spain our dispatches report force OF
Royalist troops concentrating for an attack
upon Seville. The Revolutionists are said to
be very strong on the seaboard, holding several
important towns, Two regiments of Royal
troops, sent from Madrid to Cadiz to quell the
instruction there, are reported to have revolt
ed while on the road and gone over to the re-
volutionists. The Royalist account Of the fight
at Santander states that after short engage
ment the revolutionists were worsted ard took
refuge in the fleet in the harbor.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION the name
of impartial suffrage, Congress- has forbidden
Virginia, Texas and and Mississippi to vote at
the coming election, and it is now desired to
know whether the votes Of those States are to
to be counted as making up the total vote OF
the Electoral College. IF 50, that total will be
BIT, and l59 necessary 10 cicct. II not, tue
total will be 294 necessary 70 elect l45. The
point seems to have been left open as placing a
discrepancy Of eleven votes at the disposal OF
Congress, to manipulate according as, IN the
light of the election returns, the interests OF
moral ideas may require! If Seymour should
get l48 votes, it would be no election ana must
90 to the House; if Grant should get l4S, it
would be all right, 3 fair election, wiIl OF the
people, glorious triumph, and so Oh! Let us
have peace N T. World.
