Improved Locomotives.

There arrived in this city yesterday two
new and strangely constructed locomo-
tives for regulating" uses on the Pitts
burg and Connellsville Railroad. Their
singular appearance and popularity of
build attracted general attention, particu-
poses, and are so constructed. that bump
er is placed upon each end. The Z" ten
der u is done away with, and water is car
ried in tank built over the boiler, and
the fireman's foot-board is SO made as to
hold a sufficient quantity of coal to last as
fuel for several hours. They are very
powerful, and are heavily built and in all
respects seem well adapted for the use de-
signed. They were built at the Grant
Works, Patterson, n. j. One of these en-
gines, we learn, is for use at Connellsville,
the other we suppose, for this point OIL
Pittsburg Cumberland NetOs.

The Tennessee Coal and Railroad Company
mined and shipped, during last month, l97, 500
bushels of coal, which was all sold for manu-
featuring purposes. Six years ago this COM

use.-Ndshutle Banner.
While the northward bound passenger train

at the rate of ten miles an hour, on Monday
night, white convict, who was hand-cuffed,

Mr.. Schultz, machnist at the Roano Iron
Company's works, while engaged on Wednes-
day, in erecting new rotary furnace, met with
a serious accident. He was raising the drum
with lever, when his fulcrum gave way, and
the force of the lever precpitated Mr.. Schultz
to the ground at the same time that the lever
fell. The shock loosened the front rim of the
furnace, which fell, and unluckily struck the
unfortunate man the neck, badly mangling
his throat, cutting through the outer wall Of the
windpipe and bruisng the lower jaw. His in
juries are not considered Chattanooga

The New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette under date of 9Th inst,
says:
The last received number of the Borsen
Zeit,tng has the following indicative of the
preparations for new war in Germany I:
The Notifications of Whilhelmshaven will
soon be considerably enlarged, and the
German government has also been consid-
ering the necessity of erecting works of de-
Tense at CuXhaven and the island of Neu-
werk for the protection of the mouth ofthe
Elbe. The memorandum on the coast de-
lenses prepared by the German admiralty
proposes 10 strengthen the works on the
| island by a number of floating batteries,
some of which would probably be covered
with iron plates, as their cost is estimated
at five million thalers. The batteries on
the eastern and northern sides of Will
helmshaven are 70 be completed this year.
The works at Kiel are also advancing to-
ward completion. Fort Braunsberg will
shortly be completed, and the fortress OF
| Frederichsort, which will not be ready I'M
til next year, Is being constructed on such
an extensive scale that fifty guns of the
heaviest ealiber have been ordered for It,

million five hundred thousand thalers.

THE DEMOCRATIC COLUMN MOVING
GRAVEYARD.
In clubs and by Droves they Come.


Quietly, but numerously and solidly the
Democratic masses, dissatisfied with Gree
ley and his coalition, are coming to Grant
and Wilson. Read the following:
At No. $50 East Twelfth street this even
| ing, 100 Democrats signed the membership
roll of Grant and Wilson campaign club
of the 14th Assembly district, the following
| officers being at the same time elected
President, Owen McAIanus Vice Presi-
dents, Philip Munkunbesch and Frank Nc
Guire; Treasurer, Patrick Morriss; secreta-
ny, John Hirkell. Resolutions were also
adopted depudiating the Baltimore nomi-
nation and pledging the association to
stand by Grant and Wilson. Judge Green,
of Pennsylvania delivered a well-timed
speech, advising that the Baltimore crowd
be forcibly admonished that Democrats
could think and act for themselves. The
meeting was throughout of the most enthu-
siastc character.-NciO York Times.
Gen. w. S. Hillyer, prominent Demo-
crat of New York, for while editor of the
Citizen, while visiting his old home in
Louisville, KY, addressed the Germans at
Turner Hall. In 1865 he was for Seymour
and Blair. He says:
Four years ago labored on the stump
for what thought to be right now labor
for what k1oW to be right. / say to Gen
eral Grant: see the result of your adj
ministration, and avow that 1 am for you,
for you are right, and was wrong"
There are shrewd politicians in New
York. The Tammany Ring had debauched
the city virtue had become a jest; policy
the best honesty; decency lost art. A
mighty movement against the Ring led
people to believe that it had been crushed.
1t still had vitality. The scheme for the
of Greeley originated in Tam
many Hall. Tammany men predicted the |
of Greeley with an air of dead
They knew it, and documents
can be produced to prove it. Here it is in |
a nut shell-Tammany Hall, the Senate |
Cahal, and Frank Blair. Out of this trini- |
ty came Greeley, with easy parturition.
General Hillyer spoke of the temptation |
offered to Grant during the wal, when bus |
mess was languishing for want of cotton,
and letters had come to him, earnestly ad- |
vocating getting out the S30,0O0,0 600 locked |
up in the Southern States; but he had re- |
fused to trade with and fight the enemy at |
the same time. He challenged any man to |
produce evidence of corruption in Grants |
headquarters during the war.

A War Democrat and Patriot Speaks Out
Gen. John y. Dix, one of the leading
Democrats and weathiest citizens of New
Y ork, in response to an invitation tospeak
at Greeley meeting, wrote a singing let
ter giving the following reasons why he
could not vote for Horace:
l. Because believe him to be as Gun
stable as water" perpetually laundering
Ito carry out the Scriptural figure) amid
the surges of opinion, and deficient in all
the requisites essential to a firm, steady and
consistent administration of the Govern
ment
p Because he has usually been found
among the most extreme ultraists on the
great questions of political and social duty
which have been brought under public
discussion during the last quarter of
century.
8. Because he has been the advocate land
in this instance persistently) of that most
unjust and unequal commercial system
which is destroying our mercantile and
shipping interests and heaping up enor-
nous accumulations of wealth in the
hands of the protected classes to the OPP
preston and impoverishment of all 9TH
ers.
4. Because he is associated, in relations
more or less intimate, with some of the
chief plunderers of the city of New York,
justly warranting the apprehension that
through his completely or his facile DISPOSE
ton, the same system of fraud and corrup-
ton which has disgraced the municipal
government of this city may be carried to
more infamous extremes in the administra-
ton of the Federal government; and,
3. Because in the darkest hour of the
country's peril, when traitorous combina-
ton had been formed to overthrow the gov
eminent, he openly counseled the coward
ly policy of non-resistance and an acquies-
cence in the dissolution of the Union, when
ever the cotton States would make up their
minds to go.
The General then charges the Democrats
with surrendering their principles, and clo-
ses with eulogium of Genegal Grant.

Extract Of speech by Judge Glenni W Schofeld, Of
Warren, Penn. at Meadville, Pa, Aug. ii
Judge Schofield stated that in the winter
Of 1854 Greeley went down to Washington,
and there proposed to Mr.. Lincoln TO en-
deavor to procure Louis NapOleoRs assist
ance in fighting the South, and to offer
Of the United States in consideration Of
services rendered In overcoming the rebel
lion. Considerable correspondence passed
between Greeley and Lincoln in regard to
Greeley's plans, but he matter was finally
dropped. He further said that this had al
most been forgotten, when Senator Wilson
called his attention To it. at the Philadel-
phia Convention, a few weeks ago.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-WOodson, for
Governor, runs ahead of Greeley in Mis-
souri,; Parker is 200 ahead in the Ninth
Missouri District, and Crittenden is elect
ed in the Seventh District.
The indications from Arkansas are that
the State has gone for Grant by 1000 to
5000. May and Baxter are elected. Hodg-
es is elected from the First, Snyder from
the Second and Gunter from the Third
District,
The Republicans carried four Kentucky
districts, with two doubtful. The State
gives Greeley from 900 to 10, 900 majority.
Mann lie elected from the Eighth Mis-
sissippi District.
Whitehead is elected In the Sixth Vir-
ginia District. The Republicans claim
the Fifth.
The Republicans claim three Congress
men from Maryland, including Spence,
independent.
Maynard,s plurality in Tennessee is
about 10000. The Republicans elect seven
out of the ten Congressman.
The Illinois Legislature has Sc majority
on joint ballot. This defeats Trumbull.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. S.-Grant
carries Alabama by from 1900 to 5000.
The Republican State ticket is elected by q
small majority. Four Republicans GER
tain and probably five elected to Congress
to three Democrats. The Legislature is in
doubt but four votes will cover the MAORI
ty either way.
ATLANTA, Nov. -Seventy-four coun-
ties polling 60 600 votes give Greeley 1851
majority 4; O'CSnnor, 1,664. Freeman is
elected in the 5th district. Rawles is pro-

Steward Wells, Stone and Mcbride are
elected to Congress. The Liberals have

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. S.-Sixty-eight
counties and cities have been heard from,
most of them officially. The Democrats
lose in these II, $50, while their gain is on
ly 1,620, showing an excess of Il, 431 on the
side of their loss. This leaves only about
8, 500 ofthe Conservative majority of 1860
to be overcome in the remaining 81 coun-
ties. If the Republicans gain in the same
ratio in these counties, Grants majority
will be about 1900. Present indications
show the election of 4 Republicans GER
tainly-Smith, Platte, Stowell, and Thorn
as and possibly Sener in the 1st district
who is opposed by Braxton. The Conser-
natives certainly elect Hunton, Harris,
