The Washington correspondent Of Il

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says that the President,
in conversation with his friends, yester-
day, expressed his entire confidence
in his reelection in November, and de-
clared that be was. assured Of enough
democratic disaffection to insure that re-
suit. In other words, he seemed to con-
tinus TO be impressed with the idea he
has held since the commencement Of the
campaign, that all the loss he will sustain
from Greeley republicans will be made
up by votes for BIN, or the refusal Of
d emocrats to vote for Greeley" from @
disaffected element of that party. While
the President did not so state, those near
him declared that be bad sufficient ev-
idence in his possession to warrant that
conclusion. This assurance such as it is,
has bean probably derived from responses
to the Blaa ton Duncan circular sent out
by the republican committee in session at
the Capitol: Tie State of New York ii
even claimed by the President. His con-
fdence, however. is NOS shsred by men
in the republican party, who it must be
admitted are equally as good politicians

Vermont Election.

A SWEEPING REPUBLICAN Viotohf
Old Vermont has spoken again, ana
with no uncertain sound. She is still
the star that never sets. She stands by
her faith, and though even U. S. Grant
were to switch of upon some side issue,
her freemen are too intelligent to be con-
trolled by any one man or number OF
men or by anything but their own CON
victiops'9
The returns show an overwhelming
majority for the union republican party,
me only question being as to the amount
Of gain over our last election, in 1870.
A few towns will show democratic gains,
but the State will make republican
gain of several thousand, and the ma
jority for Converse for governor will
reach some $4,000. At the last election
in 1870, it was q, 305.
Such is the response of the Green
Mountain Boys to the attempt to break
down the party Of the union. She sends
greeting to Maine, and will still stronger
greet the Union for Grant and Wilson in
November.

KNOWN NoTHINGIsM. Democrats
who attempt to fasten upon Henry Will

Know Nothing, formerly, are invited to
remember that in 1888 Horace Greeley
recommended fusion of the republicans
and Know Nothing on State and county
officers, and expressed hope that it
might be effected in the election of rep
resentatives in Congress. In August of
that year he attended meeting at
Kingston, and delivered speech from
the stand with J. I. Headley. One of
the resolutions adopted at that meeting
urged the passage of a law excluding
the foreign born citizen from vote in
the State until he shall have resided in
it as long as an American born citizen
exercising the same franchise" and
Greeley, in his remarks, said "he con-
Cured generally and heartily in the
propositions which they had adopted"
The report of the meeting win be found
in the New York Express of the date
of August Dist, 1858.

CONCERNING Colonies The too
profuse use of the title of Colonel"
ELECTS these pertinent remarks from the
Philadelphia Post;
"To call man "Colonel" is to con-
vey the idea that he is a mild, meek and
benevolent disposition. 1t is also an ev-
idence that he never was soldier. For
instance, we may recall some of the Co
lonels of Philadelphia. There is Col
Forney, Col. Mcclure, Col. McPhillips,
Col. McMichal, Col. Scott, Col. Mann,
Col. Fitzgerald, Col. Philips, Col. Green
and Col, Fritz. OF what regiment p
And we might mention many more gen.
tlemen of high standing who have been
in the army, and can only be called

to blood. If every Colonel was a sold
Ter, the standing army in Philadelphia
would be menace to our liberties. Their
number is as great as it was in San
Francisco, to which John Phoenix bears
witness in the following story: The
steamboat was leaving the wharf, and
everybody was taking leave of friends
all but Phoenix, who had no friend to
bid him farewell. Ashamed of his lone
illness, as the boat sheered off, he called
out in loud voice, " Good-by, Colonel, .
and to his great delight. every man on
the wharf took off his hat and shouted,
Colonel, good by.

THE SETTLERS ESCAPE.

There are many incidents connected
with the early settlement of Kentucky
that have not as yet been touched upon
by the sketch. writer or the novelist, t,much
as has been written Of those days; and
the following adventure, which we now
give ito the reader, is one Of those that
has for so long a time lain buried, and
now for the first time brought before the
gaze of the great republic.
Among those thatregarded themselves
as living within the confines Of Boones-
borough, though SO far from the station
that bore the name of its founder as to
be almost entirely unprotected by it, was
a settler known by the name of Dick
Turner. He had built his cabin on the
very outskirts of the settlements, and,
with his wife and three children, had for
two years lived in peace and quietness,
unmolested by the savages that were al
all times in greater or less numbers
abroad on the war-path.
Their nearest neighbor was half a mile
away down the river, out of sight and
hearing: and, had it not been for the
smoke that every morning curled above
the tree-tops, ,one would not have known
standing in the doorway of Dick Tur.
ner's cabin, but that this was the only
settlement for miles around,f for on every
side was the forest unbroken and solemn
as in the days before Daniel Boone led
the first party of hardy adventures ovel
the Cumberland Mountains.
One afternoon, the last Of August, a:
Dick was at work in his "clearing" (and
