it seems that the person at whose house
the election was held captured the bal

on Saturday evening, and refused to

full returns will probably be obtained

armed and brave men, but had no lead

dams. He tried to Join the party, but
was taken prisoner by the Indians and
would have been killed, but his lost

he Was wealthy and could be ransomed.
He was secured and could not see the

Thackeray's generous soul suffer
ed in his editorial capacity. There
is a class OF people who look upon

general relief; young widows with
numerous children send in manu-
scripts with a frank avowal that
they are conscious of possessing no
literary ability whatever, but that
they feel sure this or that one will
be accepted, as otherwise they and
their little ones must starve; there
are farmer boys who write dag
onally across brown wrapping
paper, and beg for favor as means
of acquiring an education; there
are thousands who have failed at
everything else, but are cure they
can write; some are pretentious
and impudent, others modest and
appealing, and with the latter ii
Is particularly hard to deal. A
great many are vitupsrativs, and
look upon the editor as deslot
installed to crush all rising genius.
More than once, when Thackeray
paid out of his own purse tor arti-
Giles which he could not use, the
writers reproached him for sup
pressing matter which surpassed
his own. The work became un-
endurable 10 him, and he gave

the very liberal patronage bestowed, and
to state that Notwithstanding the unpre-

ably in excess of last year. This, indeed,
is very gratifying, aud we feel encouraged
to still greater efforts. We do not claim
that our goods are better than other mer-

people with whom we have dealt for over
twelve years, to decide as to the
