LAUNCH OF THE JENNIE BAKER.-Last

LAUNCH OF THE JENNIE BAKER.-Last
Saturday was a day of marked interest
in San Michel--a day that will long be
remembered by those who remember the
day and the popularity attending its
close. Early in the morning, quite a stir
was manifest in the vicinity Of the ferry
landing, which increased as the day ex-
banded in the noontide sun, an event
usually occurring in this latitude about

a remarkably short space of time, consid.

found preparations were going on to
launch the f~erryboat, Jennie Baker, which
had been hauled up on the river bank for
some weeks, repairing. The workmen
we're busy in all directions, some giving
orders, others examining here and there,
others again "greasiog the ways" but
all preparing with the greatest care for a
successful launch. About three o'clock
the excitement arose to fever heat, which
it must be confessed, was somewhat " slim

Messrs. Arbour & Delabaye, the ~lessees

by the social party asssemblsd, to the
success Of the Jennie and the prosperity
of her worthy owners. The press was not

Mr.. J. Pinckney Smith, of the Hancock

We agree with Mr.. Smith in every par

that New Orleans is safe for Seymour and

away in the city for professions, banners,

The MAINE ELECrIoN.-Thc agony is
over in Maine and we are beaten. That
is a fact no one is presumptuous to deny
Beaten too. by a majority we did not an.
ticipate. Some weak-kneed Democrats
begin to look blue and feel pale at the
result without knowing why or where
fore beyond the fact that we are beaten,
and who think in their unsophisticated
innocence that VI ought to carry every
thing before us, with Seymour and Blair
as our candidates. A careful review of
the battlefield for years past would teach
any man of the commonest kind of COM
mon sense, that the success of the Radi-
cal party in that State was a settled
fact long before the election began True
enough, VI did not suppose they would
carry it by SO large a majority, as in the
case Of Vermont, but as we did not ex'
pect to carry either, the cause for despon-
dency is not exactly apparent. The
States which will decide the great con.
test are yet to vote, and when they fail
US in October next it will be time enough
for lugubrious lamentations. Never
in the course of q political contest in
these United States have the skies ap-
peared clearer and fairer han they do
now for the success of the Democratic
party-never since the last days of the
old Wing party in 1852 have the Democ.
racy had such bright anticipations for the
future, and this is as plain As the unob-
sun ~atssoonday to any one who
has a spark Of reason about him. But.
unfortunately, there is q class Of men in
every community who must have every
thing tally with their ideas Of matters and
things, or the game is up with them
There are too many such men in the
Democratic party now, and who are do.
ing it more injury than the fercest at
tacks Of the Radicals. They stand
around street corners-loaf about groy
shops-can be found here and there where
busy men are never found, ready to pour
their wailings into the ears of any foolish
enough to listen 20 them. Kick such
craveos overheard, say we. They would
do worse than hanging a cat on Monday
for killing q mous on Sunday. Precipi.
tate dependency was ever a great fail
ing with the Southern people, and now,
if ever, when they should battle to the
last in face Of the greatest odds, to find
men ready to give way at the first re-
verse. is to bring reproach upon a whole
people who won, as a people, impsrisha-
Bile renown. When all is lost it will be
time to give up the ship or go down with
her. BE is q poor soldier who falters At
defeat in the first skirmish, before the
main body is brought into action.

THE RAILROAD PROPOSITION. - The
election held on the 22d inst, on the prop
osition submitted by the Manitnwoc & Min
nesota Railroad Company, for $1,000 in
aid of the completion of the first division of
the road from this village to the Fox River,
was carried without serious opposition. 1t
was generally supposed that there would
be no opposition to the proposition, and
the friends Of the measure did net deem it
necessary to be OH hand at the polls on
election day, and the vote was consequent
ly very light. The opposition took advan-
tage of this state of things and polled their
whole strength. The following is the re-
suit:
