ate Capttulatton.
Tours, Nov. IA balloon from
Paris has arrived, bringing copies of the
Partisan journals to Nov. 18th. The
Figaro of that date contained bitter at
tack upon the Government for what it
terms inactivity in operations against the
Prussians around Paris.
1t asks pertinently for information as
to the amount of provisions now stored
in Paris-whether the Government ex-
poets the army to be relieved, and how
soon an offensive movement on the Prus-
sian rear will be made and compel the
raising of the siege. If the answer be
not satisfactory, the Figaro recommends
immediate capitulation.

"We congratulate our people, andtho
of the State at large, upon the fact of the
choice of our people in the late election,
and in having secured the services of Col.
James III. Hughes and Col. w. J. Cliff in

''Col. Hughes, Senator elect, is a man
of indOmitable energy and of fine talent,
coupled with much administrative and
executive ability; now in the prime Of
life, and disposition TO give his whole
attention TO the position to which he has
been elected. He has never filed, to our
knowledge, any position above that of g
prominent citizen-but in all his business
relations has been eminently successful
We predict for him bright and useful
term in our legislative halls.
''Col. Gift, our Representative elect,
is young man of more than ordinary
capacity, having but few equals in the
State, with disposition to pursue any
object to a successful termination. He
will certainly make his mark in the next

MADRD, Nov. IL, M.-The Constitu-
ent Cortes met this forenoon, amid great
excitement, and, upon vote being taken
upon the several propositions for the mon

King of Spain by decided majority

packed. Several of the Deputies, who
voted against the Duke of Aosts yester-
day, to-day changed their votes to the

Duke Montpensier, but cast their strength
soldly on the final vote in favor of Aosta.

Dear Sirs: In the recent election of the
9th inst. for Governor, members of Con-
gross, etc., OldyWsyRe spoke out for her
self in behalf of the noble principles of
humanity andjustice to all; and by rolling
up a handsome majority for the respec-
tive Democratic candidates has said that
she is no longer in favor of partial Radi-
cal administration and prescription. The
vote in Wayne stood as follows: For
Governor-John G. Brown, $50; Wise
ner, 600. For Congress--Whitthome,
geo; Cypert, 543; Frierson, Is. Senate
r. N. Bugg, of Giles, $50; A. Garner,
of Lawrence, 2S9. For Representative
George E. Huckaba, Rep, 626; John
a. Tally, Dem, Goa majority over
Huckaba of 40 votes. Tally is a man
who will watch, with diligence and care,
the interest of those whom he will rep
resent, and will never cease TO oppose
Radicalism and partial legislation so long
as symptom of it remains in our Legis-
lative halls. The above figures speak well
for old Wayne and her thinking people.
They will never be gulled into and I'm
posed on again by Radical deception. No
further news of interest here. Very re-
enectfully.
