WORTHY OF THoUGHT.-That the
next Presidential election will create
a more absorbing interest, and at the
same time excite kecner apprchen-
sions in the public mind, than any
election that the country has ever yet
witnessed, says the Keokuk Constitu-
ton, is u fact universally recognized.
The extent to which if will tell upon
the country for good or for evil is in
calculable. If power again passes in-
to the hands of the Radicals, the
American people have seen the las:
of tina: liberty regulated by law, -
which has been their pride and their
boast for nearly a century. II they
ever regain it it will be only by the
bloody ordeal of revolution.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION N
New YoRK.-The greatest mass meeting ever
held in New York took place yesterday even
ing in Tammany Hall, and in Fourteenth street
and Union Square. The Democratic torch
light procession, had in its ranks, according TO
the estimate Of an experienced police captain,
over 90, 900 persons After q junction had been
effected with the delegations from adjoining
counties, the length ofthe procession exceeded
ten miles. Every ward was largely represent
ed. and the banners and transparenclcs were
numerous. Several bands accompanied each
delegation, playing the ''Star Snanglcd Ban
ner'' and other national airs The scene IN
Union Square was grand. The main stand
represented the temple of liberty, and was
brilliantly Illuminated by strings OF lights
stretched to Tammany Hall, and the streets IN
the vicinity seemed literally on fire with calcium
lirhts rockets, fire paintings, and fire balloons.
| The main stand facing Broadway was the cell
trc of attraction outside of Tammany Hall, al
| though there were six other stands at which
speeches were made to the immense throng,
| roughly estimated at half million men Wo-
men and children. The crowd stretched com,
pleteIy down Broadway to Eleventh street. and
even as far as Spring street the thoroughlare
was we'll filed while scores OF the cross streets
were alive with citizens. The meeting in lam
many Hall was held in the spacious room IN
which the Democratic Convention conducted
its deliberations, and it was filled to replctlon,
the front seats being occupied by ladies, The
hall was splendidly decorated. General Badly
Smith presided, and said that speaking as a
representative of hundreds of thousands OF sol
diers who had risked their lives in the war, he
| declared it to be his opinion that the results Of
The war would be lost unless there was an entire

TIE COAL TRADE-Thc market has been
very unsettled during the past week, and prices
have not become fixed very few sales having
been made. Coal advanced largely at the
Scranton sale On the lst inst, drawbacks on
anthracite coal shipped from Port Richmond
to points east Of New Brunswick and south Of
Cape Henry were decreased twenty-five cts
per ton on each size, this being equivalent to
an Increase into tells Of that amount. The
higher rates Of tolls and greater cost Of coal
at the mines will not only cause still further
advance at this port, but will have the same
tendency at all other shipping points. The
eastern consumers will have to bear tic greatly
increased rates Of coastwise frcights, besides
the other additions. The tonnage of all the
leading avenues to market is rapidly advancing
over that OF last year, and now bids fair to be
over millions Of tons, which will probably
not more than meet the demand. -PhllNdcL-

Correspondence Of tho Alexandria Gazette.
HANOVER, Oct. 2.-The Pennsylvania gen
tlemen, of whom wrote you last week, have
been operating on the farm of Mr.. W. j. Car
penter, near Hewett's Station, for MICA, dur
ing this week, with very gratifying results. Ii
is found in strata like most Of our rocks, and
is frequently lying between them. was III
formed to-day, that on yesterday evening, a
block, a foot thick and Sx1G inches, Of beauti
tul mica, was exhumed from the mine. One
block, more than foot square, was also found
but that was defective. The gentleman super,
intending the mining, informs me that there
is only one other nlace in the United States,
and that in New Hampshire, where it is OBJ
tanned, This he says is of as good quality as
any he has ever seen. Several hundred pounds
have already been shipped to Erie, PENN
There are lew facts connected with the visit
of these Pennsylvanians to our Forks, -
which deserve mention.
l. They seem to desire to ignore politics al
together. They conduct themselves in every re-
spect as persons who feel themselves entirely
at home and perfectly safe.
2. They were objects of great attraction to
the blacks when they first came, and were IN
humanity bored by "Old Felix, with an &C.
count OF his troubles, expressions and high
rents. They employed him at dollar pei
day, and soon found out that he could use nj:
tongue better than his hands, and that he
studied politics more than farming, hence they
very unceremoniously discharged him.
3. Having employed two others, they soon
found that politics was also ..''tbeir stock in
trade and that they possessed neither the
energy or skill, policy or prudence of common
Northern laborer-hence they designate them
as "our makeshifts. HANOVER
