How will the ItcKiill or the Presidential
election AfFeel it.
The New York Herald, has a long article
treating on the,financial crisis in the North,
. ,? and speculates as to how it will be adopted by
tho result of the .Presidential election. It
says.:
Many arc disposed to place undue importance
upon tho result pf forthcoming election.
The argument of the MeClpIIan side is that if
Mr. Lincoln should be re-elected tho war is
likely to be prolonged over ft longer period than
if the Democratic candidate is triumphant, and
/ < this great iti'crease of the public debt, and much
further depreciation.of the currency will be inevitable.
The argument of the opposite side is
that it*McClcllan is elected public confidence
in the national credit will be shaken, and polittians
of the Democratic party will begin to
talk of measures tending to repudiation. J>ut
both these arguments are prejudiced, and the
*i. n 1 -i .
iuiuiu ui titu iiiilliJilili 1JIIHI1C138 GC|)OIKIS 1CSS
upon tlio sucuvss of either candidate than
many arc disposed to believe. Whatever the
_ result of the cop test .may be, the present financial
policy of the country must he changed if
tlic ultimate disinters which it is inviting are
*' to he averted.
The first iluty of Congress is to take into serious
consideration this important subject; The
public debt is undergoing niigumenlatittn at a
rate so enormous that further papcY money expansion
will aggravate the existing evil in rapidly
increasing ratio. Vet the pbjicv of paper
money inflation is being steadily persevered in
and the incubus is daily becoming greater.?
Our national debt is nearly tivo thousand millions,
and of this $087,00(5,$72 was in the form
of currency issues at the end of September, exclusive
of more than fifty-three millions of uao
tional bank paper. The worst blunders of Mr.
<^nase nave Deon repented l>v Ins no less income
petcrit successor, ami are likely to be continued
till legislation steps in and provides a
remedy. Whichever, therefore, may be the
dominant party, the future of the iinnnv.es- of
this country may be easily forseen, unless
measures.arc adopted to counteract the cur
rency evil and so improve the value of the pa
dollar.

An Affecting Incident.?Upon the authority
of a wounded officer in the Valley fight
/' near Winchester, wo 'nanate the following incidents:
In the hottest of the fight and justi
where the balls fell thickest, the Colonel of the
45th Regiment N. C. T. was seen to kneel ovbr
a dying soldier" and pray for him. While thus
' engaged the order of retreat was sounded;
rising from prayer and mounting his horse; he
dashed off, but had not gone many yards ere
the cries of a soldier who fell wounded in the
retreat, reached him. imnlorinor Ida cninM/Inc
not to leave. The gallant and humane Colonel
# wheeled his horse and feeing a storm of shot
and shell rode back to the wounded soldier and,
being a man of uncommon muscle, leaned from
the saddle and gathering the broken legged
man by the collar bofe him off triumphant.y.
These arc facts, and that officer's name is
"Winston,"from Rockingham county, in this
State.?Milton Chronicle.
Another Novelty in the Photographic
Art.?A London photographer has recently
introduced a novelty in the mode of inking
cartessdevisite photographs with the signature
of the sit.crs appended. The sitter simply
signs his name on a slip of paper, and finds its
fac similie, diminshed in size,' fransi'erred to the
portraits when they come home.

Am Aj.licatok Eats a Man.? A correspon"
dent, oftlic Wilmington Journal, writing from
Onslow County, says:
On the -tth nit., 1 found in a creek, known j
as "lladuoi's Creek," the body of a tnati cut off
at his lower t ihs, all helow that being; gone.?
1 got all tho people together that I could, took
it up and had it buried. It had been in the
water some tune, as it studied very offensive.
No mtormation could lm ascertained as to j
where it came from.
This morning, while talking with Mr. E." W. j
I'elletier, 1 heard an alligator catch one of u y I

one of tlie largest 1 Inul ever sei n ^ lie was also '
iincommouly lull. We ?cut him up atid found
in his stomach the font and lei; and the lower
part of the trunk of a man. These parts donht- ;
less belonged to the same body of whieh the \
upper parts have alreaov been found. Where
the man came from, or who lie was, I have no
means of ascertaining. It is believed that lie !
was a deserter from our side or from the cue- !
niy's, and was caught by the alligator while :
trying to swim the creek. |
We also found the hoofs and leg hones of a ;
cow, doubtless tl?c remains of a cow which lately
"disappeared from my pasture.
Ciiakcoal for Swine.?It is perhaps not
generally known that one of the best articles
that ean be given to swine, while in preparation
for the tub is common charcoal. The nutritive
properties are so great, that they have

of motion, and fattened on three grains of corn
per day and as much coal as they can devour,
have become fat in eight days. The hogs eat
voraciously after a little time, and are never
sick whije they have a good supply. It should
always be kept in the sty, and be fed to the
inmates regularly, like all other food.
