The triumph Of the Union men in the
city yesterday was most signal. Although
the Copperhead vote rallied its last man,
they have been defeated By over 1 800 ma
jority. This shows that the hearts Of the
people are unchanged that there is as
much faith in the Government and its
cause as ever. The men who, for Office,
desert the cause Of their country, have been
rebuked by the Union men Of Cleveland.
There can be little doubt Of the result in
other parts Of the State.


The whole tribe of pesce-at-sny-priee
followers Of Vsllsndigham, will find but
little consolation from the election. The
Union men have decided majority in the
Council Of the City. The Fourth Ward is
still the Banner Ward.

He is dead on the field of honor,


And many will weep for his fall
But the tears of the lady that loved him


Are the biiieresi tears of all.
And paeans of triumph may comfort


The land for her fallen son,
But the tears of the lady that loved him


Will fall, though the battle be won.
She'll be weeping, because of the sunlight


That's turned into shadow, and pail D.,
She'll be calling tho tears, but the soldier
: Will sleep and be deaf TO her call.
She'll seek him with tears in her dreaming


When midnight is dark on the plain,
With the finishing of dawn on the mountain


Her tears will be falling again.
Oh there's healing for grief that is honest,


In the coming and going of-years,

the annexed method of preventing horses
chafng under the collar. He says he
gets strong piece Of leather, and has what
he terms false collar made, which is
piece of leather cut in such shape as to
lie snug ly between the shoulder of the horse
and the collar. This fends off all the fric-
ton, as the collar slips and moves on the
leather and not on the shoulder of the
horse. Chafng is caused by the friction,

II all the ultimate consequences OF
ones acts are to be laid to his charge, the
man who invented rocking cradles for
his cbirdren rests under q fearful load Of
responsibility. The downright murder
OF thousands OF infants and the weaken-
ed brain of hundreds of thousands of
adults, are undoubted results Of this in-
vention. To rock a child iu cradle, or
to swing him in a crib, amounts to Just
this: The rayed motion disturbs the nat
ural flow Of the blood. and produces tu-
por and drowsiness. Can anybody sup
pose for a moment that such an operation
is helthfu one;-Every one knows
the dizzy and often sickening effect Of
moving rapidly in swing; yet wherein
does this differ from the motion child
receives when rocked in cradle? 1t is
equivalent to lying in ship board during
violent storm; and that siLens nine peo-
pie out of ten. A very gentle slow mo-
ton may sometimes be soothing, though
always of doubtful expediency; but to
move the cradle as rapidly as the swing
ola pendelum three feet long--that is
once in second is positive cruelty.
We always feel like grasping and staying

long. If any mother is disposed to laugh

In the contiguous town Of Lower Sa-


lem dwelt an aged minister by the name


of Mead. He was all his life marked


with eccentricity, and about those days


Of which speak, his mind was render
ed yet more erratic by touch Of psraly-
sis. He was, however, still able to


preach, and on certain Sunday, having
exchanged with my father, he was in the
pulpit and engaged in making his open
ing prayer. He had already begun his
invocation, when David P, who was
the Jehu of that generation, dashed BY
the front door upon horse, clever Rn-
imal, of which he was too proud, in q
full, round trot. The echo OF the clatter
ing hoofs filled the church, which, being
of wood, was sonorons as a drum, and ar
rested the attention as well of the minis
ter as the congregation, even before the
rider reached it. The minister was fond
of horses, almost to frailty i; and, from
the first, his practiced ear perceived that
the sounds came from beast Of bottom.
When the animal shot by the door, he
could not restrain his admiration, which
was accordingly thrust into the very mar
row of his prayer: "We pray Thee. oh
Lord, in particular and peculiar manner
--that's real smart crater---to forgive
US our manifold trespasses, in particular
and peculiar manner, &c." $500

Never try to keep out of any ones way
when you owe him anything. 1t is bad
enough, in all conscience, to be in debt,
make your condition no worse by grow
ing mean under its pressure. When you
cannot pay up at thessappinted time, don't
make believe sick, don't skulk about in
out of the way streets to avoid meeting
your creditors, don't sneak around the
first corner when you catch sight of him
before he has seen you. All such con-
duct is unmanly. No doubt you feel
averse to standing face to face with man
whom you owe-pay day past and the
debtor slill-it is mortify.ng, very but
it is only one Of the natural consequences
of borI owing and as you have incurred
the penalty, why meet it like man.
Face you creditor, let him know that you
neither forget the debt nor underrate his
patience with you. say frankly that you
are very sorry to keep him so long with
out his money, and that you will pay up
as fast and as soon as you possibly can.


This Is the only creditable way to con-
duct yourself in the case. There is no
respect due to man or woman who,
feeling unable to meet their payments at
the proper time, instead of going at once
and explaining the reason why they fail,
and doing and saving all they can to as
sure their creditors that they mean no
dishonesty, sneak about carefully, anA-
ious to shun the creditors sight.

For the Daily Rebel


Hoping the motive which prompts an impartial
observer to the following train Of reflection respect
ing the ladies rdo cist officers exclusively at hos
piaIs will be properly appreciated by an intelligent
and patriotic community we beg leave to submit
to them, through your columns, the following sug
gostions although not without the highest Of
thcyaluabo services they have rendered in count
less instances, and the more than kind socitudo of
which the soldier is often made the recipient.


1t is to the above mentioned that VIC wish to re-
mark thatwhilo all allowances are made by persons
as liberal as ourselves for the fscinatons of rank
as well as those fraitics Of our nature which often
times seek conspicuity at the expense Of noblcr
impulses, we cannot sanction the decided par
tialty shown by some in dispensing their bcnciccs
to the sick and wounded daily being brought to the
hospitals.


To a close observer it would seem that the gene
rous spirit of emulation which once existed in ad-
mnstcring to these poor sufferers without regard
either to person or rank, has either dcgoncrated
into mwning sycophancy or been entirely with
drawn from those whose sad misfortune it is to
flourish under other auspices than that of q star
and bar regime, though not less worthy or more
slow in approaching these little evidences of wo-
manly sympathy and patriotic devotion.

The Posts Washington special says:


The President has determined to reserve

bers of Congress.


The investigation of the plot to burn
the city is progressing with the greatest
vigor and secresy.


General Dix is closeted daily with the
detectives and others who are engaged in
this business. The examination of pris-
oners has been going on before a military
commission for the past two days, and
those most conversEnt with tie cases ex-
press great confidence that some of the
maltactors will be detected and punished
under General Dix's order.


The city is under the strictest surveil-
lance. Lists of arrivals from the South
are sent daily from the hotels to head
quarters, and all suspected persons who
fail to report themselves will be summarily
punished


The leading hotel keepers are doing oil

are in constant communication with them.
It is indicative of the thoroughneas and
skill with which measures have been taken,
that while watch Is kept throughout the

ton of things naturally excites much
alarm among the Southerners in this city.
Large numbers OF them register themselves
daily, and many have come forward TO
give what aid they can in detecting the

being accomplished before long, but it is of
great importance that the enemy should
not know st what point.


Sherman may get through to the sea
coast and embark for Grants army, but as
for doing the Confederaey any serious in
jury, there no danger whatever.


Neither Macon, Augusta, West Point
nor Columbus, all of which were as vital
points as any in Georgia, have been at
tackled by Sherman. He is seeking to get
Georgia, not to capture any more of her
cities.


The rumor that the Central railroad
was cut was incorrect, but without sustain
ing any physical injury from shermsn's
successful march eastward. Our cause can
not escape great moral defeat by trium-
phant raid through the heart of the Con-
federacy.


The Dispatch says;


1t was reported that Grant had sent
off considerable body of troops to CO.
operate with Sherman in Georgia, and aid
that General in reaching and establishing
his base on the Atlantic coast. We do
not voueh for the rumor, but say there Is
nothing improbable in it.


Still we think it more likely that Grant
is mastering his forces for an early demon
stration on Lee than that he is scattering
them. It is just possible that Sherman's
coming grief might not be disagresble to
him, as that General has already acquired
so much glory as to become a dangerous
rival for the Presidency. We therefore if
the weather permit, expect an early dem
onstrstion on both wings,


The enemy have 8 considerable feet be-
tween Dutch Gap and Bermuda Hundred,
but the vessels lately assembled in Hamp-
ton Roads have not come up this far.


Intelligence received through the same
source and entitled to confidence, leads US
to infer that this feet intended to sail for
Savannah, or some harbor in that vicinity,
to cooperate with Sherman, should that
officer succeed in marching his army
through Georgia
