The Boston Post of Wednesday had little to
say on the general result, its longest remark
thereon being:
If the Democrats didn't beat the Radicals YES
terday they wanted to but unfortunately, the
will was better than the deed
The Ny. World, forgetting its numerous
prophecies Of Democratic success, says:
The general result Of the Presidential election
yesterday does not vary from what was expected
by intelligent men in both parties.
1t adds in another column
at is not merely as the representative Of a
beaten party. pouring oil upon their wounds,
therefore, that we vindicate in this the very cri
sis Of our misfortune, and as We believe of the
country's calamity, the ardor and the courage
but the desperateness also, Of our struggle
Rather do we proclaim in this most trying hour
-speaking for a party serenely secure Of possess
ing the future Of our country, and of moulding
her magnificent destinies when itself shall have
been purged and moulded for that imperial task
an unshaken and unshakable confidence in its
puissant and undying youth, which out Of disas-
ter will get dicipne out Of misfortunes, patience
and unconquerable courage, out Of blunders,
wisdom and settled will
The Baltimore Sun consoles itself with the re-
Election that the instincts and impulses of Gen
Grant are believed to be conservative and na-
tional, and if these are permitted to shape and
give tone to his administration there will be no
reason to " despair of the Republic"
The National Intelli9eneer, still nursing its
wrath against Tammany. says:
Acquiescing in this result we have nsither
the disposition nor the time at this moment to
utter complaints Of the manner in which the |
canvass has been conducted by those who as
sumed its control. We shall not, however, allow 4
this contest and the defeat Of the Democratic
party to pass from the minds of our readers, but
shall place upon record such evidences of be-
trayai of trust as will enable the party repre-
sented at the New York Convention to profit by

were any nearer the falls, then an hours walk
The rain drizzled, and we walked, darkness
commenced to come, and enquiring of peasant
man where the depot was to be found, gave up
the falls and announced my intention of waiting
for the train luckily we had gained a hall
an hour on our distance from the falls, but
were only FIVE minutes from the depot.
and all were glad to join with me in seeking
the latter; an hour and a-half 10 wait for the
train, IN our wet clothes, in n room without a
hre, and the floor damp with its fresh cleaning
cheerful prospect, but there was nothing bet
ter to do, and we resigned ourselves with due
patience to the inevitable. At last the train
came, and we enjoyed an hours ride on the old
est railroad in Germany, built long ago to ac-
cOmOdate the Salt Works, IN this whole re-
gion, besides much more which have not seen
yet through which we had been passing; then
we must wait another hour for the train for
Vienna which would carry us to Salzourg. or
stay over night.
The opportunity however Of completing our
trip in the night, in the totally demoralized state
Of our war lrobes, was too good a blessing to be
overlooked, and SO we RECALLED ourselves with
coffee and bread again, and waited for the train.
On our way at quarter past ten, We reached
Salzburg at l O'Clock, and Blumensline villa
at half-past one O'Clock; and so we completed
our four days trip, which spite Of rain and sore
feet, is an experience. which | would not have

bent beneath her head, showed that she had
indeed fled from the approach of the savages,
and wandered on and on hopelessly till she
had laid down, as she imagined, to sleep her
last, long sleep. The hand which Anderson
grasped was tightly clutched but in spite of
its coldness, the thin, blue lips. sunken eyes,
and the unnatural pallor of her face, it was

Hour after hour passed by, and all was
still silent. From watching Samson took to
examining the powder keg once more. But
1t all seemed turned TO a solid mass, till with
hatchet he knocked off hoop after hoop,
cleared away the little slaves, and struck the
block heavily with the hatchet, to find, when
the shell was broken, that within were some
pounds Of uninjured powder, at the sight of
whose grimy grains mems hearts rose, and
rifles were loaded, and TASKS eagerly filled.
In readiness once more, they awaited the
next attack but the sun had long begun to
