Editor.?Aa )ou would naturallj auppoae, Sandy baa fully recovered from iba injuries received in bia last love acrape with Fanny. Yes, Sandy ia himself a gain; be baa visited the prominent placet of fun, frolic and pleasure; surmounted ell difficulties and rode supreme o'er all - obstacles. Aa Mr. Sbeketpoke baa said, be feels as if "ISe eeeld elraddle the raiabew And ride to the moon, Or paddle la the oeeae ln'the bawl af a spoon." Or aa Sandy id hie own muse could better express, fltir bia toffee with a lightning red, And skim the onesa with a herrieanr, "8kia tha cat" from the higheet limb, Add swallew a snake backward*. I bad mad* a close inspection of TaterHill," Big GoLler and Litlle-Gobler and other noted mountain* on the Blue liidge, and quietly settled myself in the peaceful eubarbe of'"Log Tomo," thinking to real secure, at least, for a period, from the in* triguea and jesting of womankind in par licular. JJom much I-was surprised a few days since, I will leaTe you to judge, when a familiar tap on the shoulder, and a "how see you Bandy I why old chap a stranger would take you to be some foreign Lord, Where bare you been f Git out, how you hare altered, yon are a striking re semblance of the distinguished I)r. Kichavds. Let me see, ah, the very mouth and uoee of Henry Clay. Those eyee lAO. wiiila the* look iliv.inoilc valum**." Thua vii I address by an old and tried frield'wbom 1 bad no idea of meeting in tbeee foreign parte, who had ^<>it the fasbienable world and nought an asylum af quiet among the old-fashioned, honest people of "Jjog Town." 1 waa happy to meet Bill Jones, the harneee maker?for it was no more nor leee than him that tbea confronted roe. llill waa trigged from tip to toe in hie Beet ehew off suit, and I could scarcely reeogoiae iiia pbieiogomy for the hand some and stupendous moustache be had gloated to tbe breeae. His brown cordo *ey pants glistening in the sunshine, and , jailer dore tailed coet surmounted with j tbe code of srmi of "Koon Hill" slmost ' made me eayy hie elegant turnout. He ' was tbea on a visit to see his sweetheart, I and insisted I should go along, ae tbera , was two or three more young ladiee lielag al tbe eaasa place. I tried to beg off by giving Bill a abort b>elory pf my oaeemmoo bad luck with Ike sbvmale aex. and wound np bj tell lag bim Jnj^ai sworn eternal vengeooa kiad. Bill laughed at"rash tonnes#," and 1l la be a bitter pill," atoag I'd seon forgit it d*by promising to ae- < JB^y^Ne nest Sunday, wben ba i ||ByiMll ah my ream. 11 little trouble to find out something about these youog Indies, aed I was favorably impressed with the prospects of a pretty wife aod plenty riches. Old Mr. Smith, Miss Sallie's father owned a considerable tract of land, a few woolly heads, and a noted old mill that had been running for centuries, which, when it had ground up one grain commenced on another. My | dreams, thoughts and wishes, notwith standing my former resolves 'ginst the fair sex, was all about the expected interview with Miss Sallie Smith. To give you a full description of her would consume columns of your paper, suffice it to say she was lovely in the extreme. Her complexion was the clear olive, yes, as clear as olive oil; silken hail I o| dark red ringlet*, downed down in a ' toft glossy cascade to her feet; and those feet, ah, the very picture of beauty and perfection. Her eyes, ah, sir, her eyes, were of the tru$ oriential amygdaloid or diamond cast, lovely, enticing, deep and liquid under sleepy lids, laiden with most excruciating beauty, lier figure, the very quintesence of nobleness and grandure? a fit being to mingle amid the eociety ol angels and soar aloft amid the clouds.? Her teeth, ah, yes sir, her teeth, glisten mg as pricrtie?s pesrls in the sunshine cast a radiance of light that illuminated her pathway in l.er evening wallcs. That smile, so winuing, so captivating, so IO I bad firmly resolved after old "Tar" give me that lickeo at "Blackjack Acad emy" nrter to fall in love with another woman 'till I wu satisfied the ?ai bait dead in love with ma. Mv U*t lore scrape with Fanny was a cooler to my appetite, and I had never bad much of a coming stomach in that direction until I taw Miss Sa 11 its Smith. Sure enough, Bill called at the appointed bour Sunday evening, give me a few haaty raps for not being ready, and advised roe to hurry up as be was growing impatient. . "Well," I say, "hers goes Sandy, bound to yield to woman's beauty." 1 put on my best looks, smothered up my bashfulnets, pulled the elilliards to see bow I wan, g<?i ou ine scales if mens ' ure my weight, run rny hand in my nock leg to find my comb, washed my Lead in I the water bucket, put ou my coal rong aide out, in the excitement of the mo men^ cleaned my teeth with the blackingbrush, and declared myself ready to go. We walked down West avenue, turner] the eorner to the left and arrived at o!d Squire Smith's in due time. * From appearances I jidged Bill bad given them a him of my comiog, hi everything seemed to be in perfect order Old Troutrr was lied in the chimney cor ner ; the little niggers and children wer< peepin through the cracks of the kitcliin ; the yard was clsaoed as .if it had beer rubbed up wit]) \o:?p suds. Wbsn we went in Bill give me an in troduction to the old folks first, they aol dkiling to give me the most satisfactory proof of their happiness at in j arquain tance?Mr. Siniili, my friend ^lr. Sand} Mr*. Smith, Mr. Sandy, Mi**** Smith'* Mr. Sandy, ifcc , until I had been tfottec around the entire room, not failing in the round to upset the old lady'* *pit box ? who looked at uie over the top of hei spectacle* sorter quare for tny awkward u?.i, and I felt myself blush behind tlx ear* a* red a* a stove pipe Bill ia a whole touted fellow, and h< pitched in to talking with a couple of tlx young ladies equal to a raxor strap pod dlar, as much as to say now go it Sandy, i for I've got as much as I no attend to ; on this side of the house. I cast a *nrt*i retrospective view aroiod end beheld Miu Sallie, the prettiest, the loveliest, the sweetest unci the most of it, I ever s?w before in nil my pest woe begone day*. I sidled up at s respectable distance, and | let off the beat I knew how, which was nothing like equal to what I could have done before old 'Tar* knocked all my i love sympathies iuto a cocked hat. You nee, I had been so long out of the company of ladies that ! had forgetten all the popular air*. And my hands, bow eheuld I bold them, they were in the wrong place and when I'd change them about they were no better. My legs did not set ri ffht, while my feet leoked as big as a cooking stove and as onneceseary as a jug of whiskey at a camp meeting. My hair, too, stood on their ends sad looked more lice Dog a bnatlae, whan ha'a ekear J, than human buir; my teath waa clenched together aa immovable at moat aa a monkey wrench ; my lipa pare bad aod dry atulk aa cloaa aa an application of "Aunt Jemima'a plaatpr pf abaaprakin and baaawas my tougua aaaumnd lie anti-ebakeepearativa and want off into a | quences upon tke all important auhjtct 1 j of lore, matrimony and money. To own up the fact, 1 lull you 1 wMii't | there ten minutes before I was wturk in mud tip to tny thirl colInr with that gal, ' and I could t*ee that the looked ho pleat j ing as a hoe-cake of bread before break- { fast for my particular allenlion to her.? I Yea, Sandy ia in lot# a^aia, hut be flat- ! ters himself equal to any emergency that i may arise. If you should hear of any young mnn taking a serious step shortly don't be surprised. PROCLAMATION.

United States Politics The lata elections in the United States indicate that the Lincoln parti is still tri J BiiipiiMiii, iiiougn not ovrrw lielining, It I | carrie* the elections generally, though hy an insecure majority. Lincoln personally, seems also to live a great stari over In* rival* for the l'res ideocy in hi* own party. The Republican* of the various S ate legislature* a?e very generally renominating him, and with alleged unanimity. Thirty or forty newspapers have also declared for him ; | while only five or six, (mostly (ierinan) j j have come out for Fretoen), and three o| I four for Chase. Add to this the immense ! patronage of Lincoln, and the vote of his army, which is given by word of com tuand, and it would seem that lie is pret ty secure from ihe rivals of his own house hold. If dethroned, it will t>? hy a l>em ocrat; and it will either result from an increased dissatisfaction with the war, or be will he defeated through distractions among hi*. fr ends jii'. ?? be was elected by division among It in opponent**. As oin* offset to the forgoing, however, we i see it stated by Wendell 1'nillips, that only five U. 8. Senators are in favor of Lincoln's re election. So far as we now tee. we do not think that Lincoln's defeat, except on principle, i* a result to he de?ired. If the war a gainst us is to be persevered in, better that it be by one worn and wearied witb the labors and chagrins of four years, than by a successor who would come to the taak with fresh ambition, uncbilled ardor, and, perhaps, a higher capacity, i Lincoln, by his own account, must have very nearly hia fill of the war, for he savs lie it the u>o*l miserable inan alive. Hie fable of tbe f<>i und the fl es teaches thai it will probably be better for us if he be kept at Ine post, rather than bring in a lie* man, with a fresh aet of retainers, to pursue the name line of polioy ?Huh mond Srntiml.

The force landed was five regi inenta?three whites and two negro.? , The Lake City Columbian, of tbe Ifllb, i reports everything quiet, and ei presses 1 the opinion that the principal object of , tba iuvaders ia to keep the people eicited during tbe planting season, and thus preventing tbf r**tiog of n crop. The New Order ot Eichpnge The fact that a regular, and, to all ap | pearauce, a fair exchange of prisoners, u ' now in operation, seems to excite the cu riositv of the inquisitive, who waul to j know how the thing can be while Butler is still in authority in the matter. The | fact is, so far as this particular system of | exchange is concerned, that Butler is out ; of the question altogether. The arrange i menl is the affair especially of Commis i sioner Ould, on the Confederate side, and Major Mulford, Commander of the trilee 1 steamer, "New York*' on the oilier, liy I virtue of the agreement between these ' two gentlemen, we send them in return j for Confederate ptn>oners, delivered at City Point, a number of Federal prisoners from the Libbj and Belle Isle equivalent to seven-tenths of the number so delivered | By this means, the unjust claims of the | C.vmr..........
