The Election Yesterday
Passed off, so far as we arc inform
ed, in a quiet and orderly manner, and
was, no doubt, conducted as fairly as
elections are usually conducted in
Georgia or elsewhere. There were
doubtless cases of “intimidation and
fraud,” but we have not heard of any
steps having been taken to contest the
result on those grounds, and we pre.
suine the new Board will, in conformity
to the act authorizing the election,
enter immediately upon the discharge
of their duties.
It is well that tee, are not
responsible for the result, and it can
hardly be supposed that we are muchly
gratified thereat; but, taking for
granted that the gentlemen composing
the new Board will administer the
Government —as they have promised
to do —“ honestly, faithfully, fearlessly
and economically,” and in the interest
of no particular party —ivc shall inter
pose no factious opposition to their
administration; but, on the contrary,
will give them our feeble support in
all of their acts which may be calcu
lated to promote the “ interests of all
the people of the city.” More than
this, no reasonable man could expect.
We would return our thanks to the
successful party for the several sere
nades with which they treated us last
night; but we must be permitted to
«ay that the naughty boys ought to be
well spanked who burned the costly
vigns which have for so long a time, in
mute silence, pointed “inquiring
friends” to our place of business.

Death oFCapt. Rockwell.
The last number of the Army and
.Vary Journal contains the following
painful announcement:
It was last week our painful duty to an
nounce the sad intelligence of the death of
Brevet Captain Charles F. Rockwell, First
Lieutenant Ordnance Department, 1.8. A.,
who died after a short illness, at the residence
of his mother-in-law, Mrs. 8. R. Hobbje,
near Washington City, on the night of the
14th ult.
Many a friend will join us in the expres
sion of our sincere sorrow at the death of
this most estimable young officer. Frank,
warm-hearted, generous ami courteous, Capt.
Rockwell, in tlie few years of service allotted
to him, won for himself the love and good
will of all with whom he was associated.
Long will his memory be cherished with the
warmest affection by his classmates and
other familiar friends.
But six short weeks have passed since his
marriage, and the home so lately made happy
by that event, is now made desolate by his
death. That God in his infinite mercy will
comfort and console his widowed bride and
afflicted family, is a prayer that will find a
response in many a heart beside that of him
who nays this "poor tribute to a departed
friend and classmate.
Captain Rockwell was, until re
cently a member of General Meade’s
staff, and discharged the duties of
State Treasurer from the time of the
removal of Treasurer Jones until the
inauguration of Governor Bullock.
The above brief eulogy docs no more
than simple justice to an accomplished
gentleman and gallant soldier. He
had many friends in Georgia, who
will fondly cherish his memory.
Tin Horns and Whistles.
A gentleman connected with this
office requests us to say that he will
feel obliged to his Democratic friends
—if they have any of the above arti
cles on hand from which all the music
was not extracted last night, to send
in a supply for the use of his young
sters during the Christmas holidays.
Like the immortal John Rogers, he
has “ nine small children and one at
the breast,” and despairs of producing
a full supply otherwise. We hope the
request will be complied with, so that
none of our friend’s little ones will be
under the necessity of whistling on tlie
“happy day” alluded to.
American Agriculturist.
We have on several previous occa.
sions spoken favorably of this admira.

the close of its twenty-seventh vol
ume—to commend it especially to the
patronage of onr people. It is, beyond
question, the best publication for per
sons engaged in fanning and kindred
pursuits nfrw ironed in the country.

Insure Your Lift?.
A few days ago the agent of an ac
cident insurance company entered a
smoking car on a Western railroad,
and approaching an exceedingly gruff
old man, asked him if he did not want
to take out a policy. He was told to
f?f)t out with his policy, and passed on.
After riding about half an hour an
accident occurred to the train, and the
smoking car ran over the sleepers,
causing much consternation among the
passengers. The old man jumped up,
and seizing a hook at the side of the
car to steady himself, eillcd out,
“Where is that insurance man ?” The
question caused a roar of laughter
among the passengers, who for the
time forgot their danger.

Co-operation.
A cooperative manufacturing asso
ciation, with a capital of $50,000, is
being organized at Salt Lake City.
We have repeatedly recommended
the establishment of these associations
in our city, and we can not see why
they would not pay as well here as
elsewhere. Why don’t some enter
prising young men establish a grocery
or some other business on the coopera
tive plan ? Try it, and put your
goods down at a reasonable figure,
and we know it will be a paying in
vestment.
Short Dresses.
Short dresses arc good things for
tho shoemakers and bad for the doc
tors. The ladies buy and wear better
shoes, and the doctors report a no
ticeable decline in diseases among
women coming from cold, damp feet-
When long garments prevailed, wo
men were very careless in this respect,
often wearing thin and broken shoes,
and this, together with the dampness
always clinging to their long skirts,
brought on illness, which not unfre
quently terminated fatally,

The Quaker’s Letter To his
Watchmaker.—l herewith send thee
my pocket clock, which greatly stand
etn in need of thy friendly correction.
The last time he was at thy friendly
school he was no ways reformed, nor
even in the least benefitted thereby ;
for I perceive by the index of his mind
that he is a liar, and the truth is not
in him ; that his motions are wavering
and irregular; that his impulses are
sometimes very quick, which betoken
not an even temper; at other times it
waxeth sluggish (notwithstanding I
frequently urge him), that when he
should be on his duty, as thou knowest
his usual name denoteth, I find him
slumbering and sleeping—or, as the
vanity of human reason phraseth it, I
catch him napping. Hence, I am in
duced to believe he is not right in the
inward man. Examine him, I beseech
thee, thoroughly, that thou mayest, by
being well acquainted with his inward
frame and disposition, draw him from
the error of his ways, and show him
the path wherein he should go. And
when thou layest thy correcting hand
upon lu’m, let it be without passion,
lest thou drive him to destruction.
Do thou regulate his motion for the
time to come by the light that ruleth
the day; and let him learn from that
unerring guide the true calculation of
his table and education: and when
thou findest him converted from the
error of his ways, and more conforma
ble to the above mentioned rules, do
thou send him home, with a just bill
of charges, drawn out by the spirit of
moderation, and it shall be sent in the
root of evil to thee.
—Japan lilies, with a beautiful gold
band on the petals, are being intro
duced into the consen atories of the
United States. A few bulbs were
imported just after the visit of the
Japanese ambassadors, in 1860, and
can now be purchased from §lO to
§SO apiece. The flowers, in some in
stances, measure nine inches across
the top, and from the size and fra
grance one of them forms a complete

by John Slidell and his daughter, and
in Frankfort by his son, before the
U. S. Consul there. Young Slidell is
