' then came to the conelusion that the Dougs é iN te a al The Blorning Grauscript. Office, No. 36 Commercial” NEVADA OItTy. “TUBSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13th. POLITICAL ‘MEETING. . r sees ans enneconesn neem: sos meee The editor of the TRaNscrivT having been guddenly galled away tothe Village of San Juan, the devil has condescended to take chatge of ‘the-editorial department. He will not come dewn on you with a “ erusher” on the war, net will he follow'on the footsteps of Lokalitums, who delights in nothing but light and frivolous: nonsense, but he will give his honest impressions at the meeting on last Saturday night. In accordance with the call given he re~ paired in good time to the corner of Pine and een net Broad streets, and as close .to the speaker’s . stand as possible. . The crowd gathered so thick that he backed out till, finally, he got on the top of Lampe’s barber’s pole. He hadn’t been there but a short time, when a savage looking Teuton reached. with one hand ue wards the top of the pole, endeavoring to pul him “down, whilst with the other hand he flourished a stick’ in a threatening manner» and which made poor devil’s blood run cold’ “ Ahah ! you tam rascal,’ said the infuriated German, ‘‘ You’re der fellow vat said I ish dead, and vat gave me such a mean kracter, ehi*e: “My dear friend,” said the poor devil, for he felt inclined to compromise, as the fellew_ looked formidable, ‘I never said you were dead, and I believe you're a splendid fellow, though you don’t look much like one. You are laboring under a mistake ; it’s Lokalitums you're after; I see ;” and the frightened devil pointed his assailant to the spot where Lokal” itums stood. He left, brandishing his stick’ and with an air which seemed to manifest a atrong determination on his part to give Lokalitums striking proots of his existence. The next thing he saw was the Republican candidate for County Treasurer jump on the stand and called the meeting to order. A noble, statelylooking tellow was selected from the crowd to act as one of the chairmes who then announced to the audience that the performances would commence with a speech from Mr. Ashley, Repub’, to be followed by Mr. Conners, Doug, who was to be followed by Uncle Phelps, Repub, to whom Mr. Ed _ gerton, Doug, was to succeed. The devi and Repubs had amalgamated and would play a nice game of ‘*tickle‘me and I tickle you.’; The sequel, however, proved that his conclu, sions.were wrong, for they rubbed one anoth~ er with a mighty hard brush. Two Presidents: were appointed, one from each side, and the devil expected every minute to see them pitch in to one another, during the heat of the controversy, and settle their pointe of dispute wi et armis. : Mr. Ashley was introduced. His voice, at first, was rather subdued, but it got some. what firmer as he proceeded. He told the crowd all about the pilgrims—bow our fore. fathers fit, bled and died to establish this glorious confederacy-~how they adopted a constitution which was to cement forever the Union of these States—how the seseshers violated the aforesuid constitution in sesesh. ing—how it was the duty of everv loyal citizen to support the government of Abe Lincéln in its efforts t@ save the Union and the Constitution, and how a Union man must therefore be a Republican. In fact he almost succeeded in convineing the devil that this was a political axiom—just like a Catho. tic priest convinced him once that “ there is no salvation out of the Church. (The Catholic Church, of course.) He wound up witha rib-bruiser at Conness on the bulkhead question. zy He had hardly left the stand when up jumps @ little man with circus clothes on, whu grabs a tumbler full of water, dashes it down.hi® ‘oat, and turns his head backwards, so as to make it uncertain for the devil to tell whether he intended to turn a dack somersault and light on the Presidents’ heads, or whether he intended to perform the feat of counting the stars on the American flag behind him without turning around, and seo that they were all there. He merely intended, however, to formed in ® moat elaborate and scientific style. He then pitched in to the Republicans in a most savage manner— told them that they wanted all the offices, and gave them to understand that he mesnt to give a fight for one of them offices himself, to them, or any other ‘man) He said he was no bulkhead man—he was opposed to the bulkheid, though be voted the bulkhead was like “kettle calling pot black.” All the Republican leaders in ‘the Legislature wéFe bulkheaders; only they wanted the thing fixéd to suit them. Our devil then concludéd that'Mr. Conness was a pure patriot, that the Douglas party was a glorious party, and he was making up his mind to vote the Douglas ticket, when Brother Phelps took the stand. Brother Phelps went’ in more after the fashion of a Methodist preacher than a stump speaker. _He went in to the fugitive slave law, proved. or at least asserted—which is alj the.same thing in a stump speech—that they were all passed by Democratic Legislatures, and that the Republicans had never done anything wrong. Although Brother Phelps warmed himself considerably as he progressed, there was some danger of the devil going to sleep on his roost, when Mr Edgerton ap. peared on the rostrum. ; oe Ye gods and little fishes ; whatever drowai. ness might have troubled was immediately dispelled after a few sentences from-this gentleman. No preaching here, no effort or embarrassment éither for ideas or words to ex. press them. He give the seseshers fits and he gave the Repubs fits, and finally wound up by a soul-stirring appeal to his hearers. to stand by the old flag, and when he got through, he (the devil) rushed down to the office, wrapped himself up in the American flag, and went to sleep, only to dream of the Star Spangléd Banner and the glory of the American Union. A LIAR.—Among many anecdotes of Buena Vista, one beats all others. An Arkansas soldier, wounded, asked an Irishman to -help him off the field. The latter did so by enabling him to mount, strapping him to his horse riding himself before. During the ride the poor Arkansian had his head shot off unknown to his companion. Arriving at the doctor's quarters, the Irishman was asked what he wanted. ‘I brought this man to have his leg dressed.” ‘“‘ Why,” replied the doctor, ‘his head is off!’ ‘The bloody liar !”’ exclaimed Mike, looking behind him, ‘he told me he was only shot in the leg!” A RUNNIN’ NIGGER.—A runaway slave who made his way to Cairo, where he performed good service in the entrenchments, was asked if he did not wish to go back and fight. He replied with a grimace that would have done no discredit to old “* Pete” in the play of the ‘Octoroon.’ Lordy gordy ' no massa ; dis nigger am not a fightin nigger ! dis nigger ama runnin’ nigger SECESSIUN EFriGies.—A peculiar feature was introduced in the celebration of the Fourth at Tarboro, N. C. A rope was stretched across the street, on which were suspended three effigies, bearing the-fellowtor’s doom.” ‘Abe Lincoln—Somebody is hurt—The irrepressible conflict ended—The -South Victorious.”. ‘* William H. Seward— The Higher Law has ascended.” At night, the effigies were consumed in a bonfire. tn SALE OF CATTLE.—The Stockton Indepenent says the Sheriff sold 246 head ef cattle at French Camp, in that county onthe 30th of July, 168 head of which ‘were full grown, and 74 ealyes. They brought but $4 per head all round. The stock was a Spanish breed, owned by A. Rider ‘ sale in favor of J. Searls, and ajy purchased_byhin. Ee PHOTOGRAPHIC: POWER UF THR COMET. —Mr. John A. Whipple, the famous photographic artist whose photographs of the moon and stars and Donati’s comet have been so wonderful reports that the. photographic power of light from the comet is verp feeble, hardly makiug ‘an impression on the most sensitive preperations. Compared with that of the moon, or. fixed stars even of the third or fourth magnitude, it is, photographicly }speaking, mot one thousandth part as brilltant. . Vireinta Miiiria.—Gov. Letcher has called out the militia in the counties north of James river and eastofthe Blue Ridge as we'l as in the valley of the State north. of James river, for immediate service. . EH At a colored ball thé fullowing-notice was posted on the door posts: * Tickets filty cents. No gemmen admitted unless he comes himselt.” Capt. James Dennisun_ bas left for the Southern Counties te secure 500 horses for the new cavilty regiment, Tue Wipows.—* For the other half of a courting there is vethine lik ing widow. There is as much difference in courting a damsel and an attractive widow, ne. in ring in addition and the rule of three. Courting a girt is like eating fruit— all very nice as fat as it goes; but duing the sammabio to the blue-eyed -bereaved ove j bl ck crape, comes under the bead of p serves—rich, pungeit syrup. For deticate for it out of love fur the public schools. Be-} ‘tides: the Repubs scovsing hig of vating for . doing I understand the captain was arrested ing ingeriptions: ‘‘ Winfield Scott—the trai+: courting, we tepeat, give us a ‘live widder.’” pee A TestsmontaL.—Cortain Yankees in San‘ Francisco, says the Bulletin, have prepared a medal of gold for presentation to William Conway, the seaman who refused to heul down the Union flag at the bidding of the . officet commanding at the Warrington Navy Yard. On the medal’s face is the woman of California,. and the motto ‘The Union, it must préserved.” On the other side fe the inscription : ‘ Presented to William Conway IN by the citizens of San Francisco from New England, as a mark of their admiration for his bold refusat to haul down the United . Ji States Flag at Warrington-Navy-Yard, Pensacola, June 12,1851. © page Las ii Nose Conpuct.—A notable instance of magnanimous self-sacrifice on the part of the surgical staff of one of the Second New. York Regiment occurred in the battle of the 21st of July. The following—Foster Swift, Surgeon; G. S. Winston, Assistant Surgeon: Chas. De Graw, Assistant Surgeon—nobly surrendered themselves to the enemy rather than desert their wounded. comrades on the field of battle. Such conduct’ reflects the highest credit on the heroism and humanity of these officers, and deserves. to be widely known and duly appreciated. > THE CONFEDERATE FLAG IN Russta.— A letter reeeived in New York from Constadt, dated June 17th, written by the mate of a ship, says: ‘‘ There is a Charleston ship lying alongside of us that. hoisted the flag of the Southern Confederate States, and for so placed in the guard house of the Russian officers. They-would not acknowlodge, or in any way recegnize the flag of the rebels.”’ Sunpay Law.—The San Jose Mercury says: ‘ It is of doubtful utility for the State to interfere with the religious notions of men. If they will not keep the first day of the week holy from a sense of religions duty,’ we doubt the propriety of compelling them todo so. Stillif the law will result in any good to society let it be enforced.” ie Somebody has taken the pains to copy the inscriptions on some of the blocks of marble furnished by the States for the Washington Monument. Here are some specimens: Tennessee—‘The Federal Union, it must . be preserved.”Kentucky—‘“In Union there is strength.” Louisville—‘‘Ever faithful to the Constitution and the Union.” eee nee \ i" Two acquaintances meeting on a wet day, the one greeted the other with—“‘Beautiful rain, this, sir, fetching things out of the ground.” Second friend, disconsolately— “Hope not, sir, hope not. Got two wives there, sir.” ‘FRADE WITH--AUSTRALIA.—The bark Druid, sailed on Wednesday, from San Francisco for Sydney, the first of a line of vessels intended to be dispatched by Jos. Macnamara, Esq., lately from that section. Her cargo consists of 300 tons of flour, and 100 tons of wheat and barley. A second vessel is under charter to convey 400 tons, and it is his intention to.despatch three or four ‘other vessels this season.
