By the kindness Of our friends in this
District, and by means of the telegraph, we
were enabled to give the returns of the
State election in quite a satisfactory man
ner. But we did not do 80 we'll as we hope
to do hereafter.


At the Presidential election, we hope to
have the aid of our friends in the surround
ing counties as before, and by this means
and the shortness of the ticket we hope TO
be able TO give the -fuH returns of the Dis
trict on Saturday morning after election
day TUESDAY, Nov. g., at tarthest.


Persons sending rs returns will please
make their figures plainly, and specify
whether the returns are official or unofficial


Now let us see whether the full returns
can not be sent to Indianapolis from this of
flee on Friday night or Saturday morning
There viii be great anxiety all over the
country to hear from "The Pocket" All
who send us returns will be acting for the
public accommodation.

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT.-The New

one of the best executed counterfeit two 8

have as yet appeared. The public had bet

points of difference between the true and
the bad are as follows: In the counterfeit,

BEE~ We have not yet received the coru-

of Congress, and the entire list of mem
bers Of the Legislature. So soon as we do,
we shall publish them. We presume the
indianapolis papers will publish this iutor-
nation IN full, when they can get it Odicial-
ly. The Sentinel of Saturday contained the
vote for Governor in all but two counties,
but did not state whether the figures were
official or not. 1t is not worth the space to

No DANGER APPRRHENDED.-A dispatch
lion loan to Government has been taken,
and principally by New York and Wash
ington capitalists! If there were any dan
ger Of dissolution of the Union, the WELL
posted moneyed men of those cities would
not invest deliberately in Government secu-
rites, which are taken at very low rate
of interest, and are chiefly valuable on
account of their reliability-th certainty.
This is what capitalists like more than high
interest without good security. If the Union
should dissolve, these loans would not be
worth the paper on which is printed the
evidence that they exist. Therefore there
can be no danger of a dissolution, or home
capitalists, who have every means of know
ing the real danger, would not so invest
their means. .......


If the fact could be known, we have no
doubt that some of the very fre-eating
Senators and Representatives who are maxi
ing such Il fuss about Lincoln's election,
have, through their bankers, made invest
meats in this new loan. They proverbially
have a great attachment for Uncle SAM
pocket, and can not let slip so good an op~
portunity of loaning their surplus cash at
a fair interest to so perfectly reliable an old
fellow, who is able to pay them whenever
they want their money, by means of his
excellent credit.

The ST. Louis BREACH OF PROMISE Case
The second trial of the renowned case of
Carstang VS.. Shaw, concluded in a verdict
for the defendant. The chief points in the
case are too well known to require recapitu-
latiOn. A middle-aged wealthy gentleman
pays certain amonnt of attention to lady,
is supposed to be engaged to her, cools off, is
sued for breach of promise, and jury of
twelve men mulct him in the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars, as a salve for the
wounded feelings of the fair plaintiff. A
second trial is granted, sufficient testimony is
brought together to prove that the life of the
lady has not been such as to warrant her as
sumption of wounded pride and feeling, and
the jury dismiss the case and saddle upon
her the payment of the costs.

The age of chivalry has indeed passed lea are discussing the disgraceful pugilistic contest between Heenan and Savers, pub lie interest is scarcely awakened in behalf of the Italian patriot, whose strong right arm has been raised in behalf of the free dom of his oppressed and degraded land. The star of Gsribaldi is in the ascendant. We feel deep interest in his romantic history. After a diversified life. he em barks in the cause of Italian liberty. The Riengi of the age. his plan seems more practical than that of the Roman Tribune. to restore the nationality of Italy, to give that classic realm its proper statas among the nations of the earth, is the ambition of the gallant hero whose triumphant flag Is now floating over the Sicilian Bourbon's throne The shouts of victorious patriots are mingling with the "vespers of Paler- mo-"

 The latest advices from the seat of war confirm the reported successes of Gen. Gar ibaldi. He attacked Palermo on the south side on the morning of the 2Ith ult., and penetrated to the center of the city, flag in hand. After desperate combat of six hours, and during an active bombardment, both by sea and land, the royal troops re- treated to the palace, which the people subsequently, burned.

 Advices from other Sicilian towns say that the people have risen.

 Even in Naples the popular cry is, Gar ibaldi and Victor Emmanuel! No one can tell the result, but every heart that beats with sympathy for the oppressed and enslaved, will rejoice to hear of the resto- ration of Italian nationality under the Sar- dinian king, aided by the powerful arm of the heroic Garibaldi. His star is in the ascendent-may it rise higher and higher.

Here is an extract from a leading article of his last paper.

 "After the assembling of the Dover convention, and the nomination of Hindman by that body we at once raised his name our candidate, although we were satisfied that he was nominated by foul and unfair means, and plainly and emphatically committed ourselves to his support. preferred another man, and would have been pleased to have seen Col.

Eg We will simply state in answer to the queries of our correspondent, that Judge Wilson is a candidate for rec lection; his announcement may be found in this issue; Gen. Green is his opponent; we know of no other candidates. As to Judge Wilson acting unjustly in the case of a negro charged with murder in Washington coun- ty, we knoac Mat to 6e slander; Judge Wilson did nothing but his duty. If he had done otherwise he would have been a just subject for denunciation. Judge Wilson IS now engaged in holding a special term of the Johnson county circuit court, and It IS quite likely he will not have an opportu- nity personally to disprove such an unge- nerous charge, so we have thought 1t pro- per to correct an impression which might operate iniuriously to the reputation of a good and honest judge, and noble gentle. man.

run about over the country and dissipate
and get in debt ; or you want TO marry
some rich girl who may be foolish enough
to take YOU lor fine clothes and good
looks, that she may support you.


Shame upon you young man |! Go TO
work with the capital, you have, you'll
soon make interest upon it, and with it TO
give you as much moley as you want and
make you feel like man. If you can't
make money upon what capital you have,
you couldn't make il if you had million
of dollars jp money. III you don't know
how to use bone and muscle and brains,
you would not know bow to use gold. If
you lie, the capital you have lie idle and
