JACKRON, MISS., November 4.- Matters in this State are assuming a threatening at? titude. Gov. Humphreys has issued a proclamation urging the immediate organi? zation of volunteer militia companies, and the Legislature is memorializing the Presi? dent to remove the United States troops and release Jeff. Davis. Meanwhile, two negro soldiers and six Government mules were captured yester? day, between this city and Raymond. Thc soldiers were probaLly shot." W. B.

Tho Federal soldiers and negroes of Yioksburg have held meetings and resolved to defend their rights. Gov.

A freight train on the New Orleans, Jack? son and Great Northern Railroad, ran off the track last night, seventy-live miles this side of New Orleans, smashing five cars and severely injuring the conductor. A young Prussian, of very insinu? ating manners and possessed of ex? tensive accomplishments, whose real name is said to be Francis Stabenow, but who has represented himself as the Count Dohna, and has also, it is said, been known by various aliases, was on Saturday arrested at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, where, as well as at other establishments there and in other Northern cities, he had lived and flourished in fine style, on charge of being both a swindler and a deserter from one of the regular regiments of our national army. In his possession, when arrested, were found a large number of photographs of his lady friends, with accompany? ing notes, and different articles, which, it is said, were about a year and a half ago stolen from the real Count Dohna, in Berlin. Stabenow is detained for a further examination. THE FENIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT. A letter from New York says : "I h?ar that a prominent officer of the Fenian Brotherhood, has received an intimation from a high quarter in Washington, that the proceedings of the Order in the matter of issuing bonds, is calculated to embarrass the United States Government in its rela? tions with foreign powers, and that the discontinuance of tho movement would be accepted as new evidence of the loyalty of that numerous class of adopted citi/.ens whom the Fenian organization profess to represent. The intimation, there is reason to believe, is the result of a recent com? munication received at the State De? partment from thc Governor-General of Canada. " FIRE.-Wc regret to learn that a lire occurred on Tuesday last, about nine miles South of Yorkville, on thc plantation of Dr. Rufus Brutton, de? stroying his gin-house and between ninety and one hundred bahs of cot? ton. Thc fire is said to have origi? nated from friction, while running the gin.- Yorkville Enquirer. General Dick Taylor is living quietly in Now York, and, has not been running to Washington, as the telegram anti newspaper correspond? ents have him. Pf?w Torie Election. New York has gone for the Repub ean party. The World says : The result of yesterday's election is shevn, eve? by the THirtial return? ??*? ceived up to the hour of going to press, to havo been a Republican vic? tory. "We have no desire to count onr wounds, nor to conceal them. They are the witnesses of a manly struggle, against odds. Nor would we conceal their disastrous consequences -not so much to the party, which will outlive and outlast and bring to the dust these victors of to-day, and whose principles being true are im? perishable ; but, in the defeat of the Democratic party, President John? son's plan for the imm?diate restora? tion of tho Union is defeated also. The tide of fanaticism which has swept over the nation, engulphing its laws, its liberties, and its material prosperity, though visibly abating, has not yet reached its ebb. Every hour it falls, and the time cannot be ? far distant when the people of the ! North, so long led through deep wa? ters by blind guides, will search for j dry and other leaders. That day will see the triumph of Democratic prin? ciples and of those who have faitbful I ly upheld them. In the election just closed, the Democratic party has been faithful to its time-honored principles. It has sought nothing less than the good of the whole country. It did not hesi? tate to endorse the measures of an Administration whoso election it had opposed, for those measures were well adapted to the end which it never lost sight of through four years of war restoration of the Union and its laws, of peace, of our civil liberties, of local self-government, and of fraternal ! good-will between all sections of our common country. And to-day the chief regret of every intelligent Demo? crat will be, not that a local election has been lost, but that Mr. Johnson's political measures for the early resto? ration of the Southern States to their co-equal and normal relations in the Union, which was the chief and almost the only national issue at stake in the late canvass, have not received the weighty endorsement of thc Em? pire State. The Ne its has the following com? ments on the result : At the hour at which we go to prest this morning, there can be no doubl that the great State of New York ha* again been lost to the Democracy. The result is entirely inauspicious, as we feared from the outset it would be. And yet there are features in thc canvass-some marked features which show the fight to have been ? gallant one, where the party linc! were distinctly and visibly drawn The Republican candidates are un questionably elected by a handsome and to the party itself, an une-i.peei edly large majority. We have nc room or inclination at this inomen for comment. We fear that our friends in Nev Jersey have gone down in the genera melee, and that thoy will have t< burnish their armor for another nn< more hopeful conflict. Beyond Nev Jersey and New York we care not, o course, to look for resnlts. As we present the returns from tb interior of the State, in the shape ii which they were received by telegraph without any attempt at classification a word of explanation may be iiec^s sary. Early in tho evening we wer advised by the Associated Press tba they would prepare a tabi?or stat? ment of the vote in the State as th returns came in, and that we had bel ter hold on to our scattering despatch es in the early part of the night, ti they would be fully covered b the tabular statement. This we die But at a late hour this morning, w received a second note, stating tim they had found it impossible to mah such a statement of the vote, and the deemed it unnecessary, as the Repul Hean ticket was elected by a largo mi j jori ty. The election yesterday passed o ! with more than usual quietness ; i j fact, for yours the same apathy has n< been displayed. At the polls the] was but little if any excitement, an the people seemed to vote with a for knowledge of what would be the rt suit of the contest. Although tl. registration was meagre and incon plete, thc vote fell far below the ri ??st ry. The gatherings during the e venin were not of un exciting character, Ot in many instances tho demonstratio] were anything but enthusiastic, seemed to have been, at an ear hour, conceded that the city had be< carried by a large Democratic major ty. With the exception of Tamiu ny, there was nothing doing at tl several headquarters. Judge A. B. Meek, of Alabama, a poi politician, and noted chess player, di' recently at Columbus, Miss. Boaton Merchant! ?nd our Claims against England. The Boston Journal, of November 3, says : By the following petition, which iris in circuir, ti cn cn !3tni~ 3treet "yea terday, and was signed by ?ever?l of our largest ship owners id other merchants, it will be seen that there are some who do not vish Mr. Seward to press our demands against England very vigorously. The document will be forwarded to Washington in a day or two : BOSTON, Nov. 1, 1865. To the Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Seer. tory of State: The undersigned, mer? chants, mechanics, and other citizens, having^read the jdiplomatio corres? pondence recently published, beg leave respectfully to protest against further action by our Government in their demands upon the British Go? vernment for compensation for the depredations committed upon our commerce by the Alabama and other British cruisers. They respectfully represent that it would be a great injury to this coun? try to weaken, for the sake of the few millions of dollars involved in th? claims of our citizens, the prospectivt value of the precedents thus set bj the British Government. They beg you to remember that, judging of the future by the past, th< time cannot be far distant when th* British Government will be a bellige? rent, and that whether against Bus sia, France or Brazil, or against its Indian subjects, the heroic Sepoys or its oppressed Irish provinces, it next war, when we aro at peace, wil give us the same opportunity in prin j ciple, and a hundred times greater ii degree, which her merchants, me dinnies and ship-builders have had t< profit by our misfortunes, j While her commerce equals ours .] j tonnage, the value of her merchandiz afloat is always infinitely greater thai ours-many of our ships being usu all' loaded by the help of British capital ! Where she can build one Alabam or blockade runner, we can build hundred, provided her precedents ar allowed to remain. While she has b destruction and alarm driven abou one-tenth of our commerce from th ocean, we eau at the next opportunity following in her footsteps, utterl driw the British merchant flag froi thc ocean, except when convoyed b a steam frigate. They have made th most of their opportunity ; the machine-shops and ship-yard" hay enjoyed a prosperity never befoi I equalled. Their ship owners an merchants have fattened upon oi distresses. They can well afford 1 paj' out of their profits the pet! losses which are claimed, and still ha"? millions of wealth wrung from us r maining. Our harvest will soon come, but v shall better their instruction a hu dred-fold, until not a vestige British merchant navigation will i main upon the ocean in rivalry wi; ours. We pray you, therefore, to reta the vantage she has given us 1 making no further demands in coi pensation for our claims, but rath to use your influence with our ov Government to obtain payment fro them for the losses thus incurred 1 our own citizens, and to retain in fi force the precedent set by Gr? Britain as infinitely more valual than those claims. In a conversation which Secreta McCulloch lately had with an c schoolmaster, he said in reference the negro: That so far as the pretended equn ty of races was concerned, there coi: I be but one opinion among all go : men, North and South, and this wi that wherever the Anglo-Saxon r; had come in contact with an inferi ono, thc history of fifteen confur had proven that thc Anglo-Sax race must dominate or extermina That the Indian race, far superior thc black, had been utterly anni ! lated before the advance of the whit and this, although thc Indian r: was morally and intellectually vas superior to the black race. That sane man, no American, could dre for a moment of making this count where God had showered so ma : blessings to tho race made after own image, thc inheritance of r I but those he had endowed with intelligence all but divine. Thc ?pi tion of labor sinks into insignificai before that of races, and thc marci human progress is not to be s pended by tho idle theories dreamers. Jamaica advices say Gordon : Paul Bogle, tlio principal insurr tionary leaders, had been caught, J were "being tried by court-mart The people wore dispirited since capture of their leaders. No ap] hensions of much further trouble. GENERAJL MAGI?UDH?. -An exchange Saper says : "The rebel General [agrader is on a visit to his sister in England, who is the wife of Lord Abinger. Miss Magruder was for iiictiy O?16 Ol ?ile LK?IACO v?i VT ???liig ton, where Lord Abinger, formerly stationed with his regimen* in Canada, made her acquaintance." Mr. Caleb dishing has not gone, nor is going to Europe, says the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press. Louisville claims to be the leading tobacco market in the world. OBITUARY. Departed thia life, on the 6th of October, 18657 Mrs. SAL?lH E. PCLLOCK^onsort of Elian Poilock, Esq., in thc fifty-seventh year of her age. Tributes of praise and eulogy are the purposes of notices of this character, and these are usually paid without regard to their aptitude or justness; but feeling sure that on the present occasion all who knew the deceased will concur with meinaaying, that in tho death of this estimable ladv, her family, relations and numerous friends have sustainsd an irreparable loss. As a wife and mother, she was rich in all those noble and benevolent affections, those gene? rous sympathies, thc outpourings of love and kindness, which while sbc lived she exhibited-these ennobling characteristics aa evidence of how she lived, will long bc a source of pleasant remembrance. The writer of this article enjoyed an intimatu acquaintance with tho deceased, and this enables him to speak with perfect confi? dence of her character. Her disposition was an:.able and modest, unobtrusive in character, pure and gentle in spirit, her conversation at all times sprightly and interesting. Her sweet, win? ning and unassuming manners drew around her many friends. Those only who have sustained such a deplorable loss are able to appreciate its extent. Eate. however, has ao ordained it, and whilst we deeply sympathise with her family in their melan? choly bereavement, it becomes their sad duty to struggle with their feelings and bow with all possible resignation to the in? evitable blow. Almighty God! 'tis right -'tis just That mortals all should turn to tlust: Dut, oh! the sweet, consoling truth, The ?oui bhall live in endless vouth. "H. C. M. AWET NURSE, without a child.
