The glorious triumph which the Union its gained in the election yesterday grows greater the more nearly we examine it.

The remaining coun ties and the army vote will raise it to 30, oon. Ve have carried both branches of the Legislature swecpl ug majorities. The total number of Senators is 37, of Re ic sentatives 103. Of these the Unionists have elected 24 Senators, and OG Repre sentatives, and perhaps more.

The falling off in the Union majority is 568. This is not due to an increase of Democratic votes, for there were fifty less polled than a year ngo, but to the fact that there were 618 less votes polled than in November '64, at least 500 of whom would have been cast for the Union ticket if they had voted at all.

Dangler, to defeat whom a bolt had been organized, carries the city by 143 majority, running just 121 votes- behind his ticket.

September 27.] We are informed on most unouestiori- oie autlioritv that-a decided and undoubt ed case of Asiatic cholera, with a fatal re- ult lias occurred in Southampton. The ictim was a uiun named Rose, about thirtv years oi age, residing in jsrewnotise-court, rcwhouse Lane, who died on Sundav, about thirty-six hours from his first attack, the symptoms at every stage being those ine most virulent torm ot this dreadful disease. The unfortunate man himself dated his illness from having been enga ged a few days previously in cleaning out very offensive cess-pool. Another case, that of a woman living in a different part tne town, is also reported as presenting similar symptoms. Although these cases, should they both prove to be Asiatic chol era, may not presage an immediate prev alence of the epidemic, they are sufficiently alarming to call Jor nyilant and energetic measures, without on hour's delay, on the part of the local authorities, and, if neces sary, the government itself. With a full consideration of the fact that the town of Southampton is in direct communication, means of mail steamers, with the Med iterranean , and only four days from Gib raltar, where the cholera now prevails, at which port these steamers call, every possible sanitary precaution should once be taken to guard the health, not only of the inhabitants of Southampton, of the country at large. A Young Locked in a Church for Three Days. Yesterday morning an advertisement brought to this office, asking for in formation ot the whereabouts of a young lady who nad uecn missing since Sundav afternoon, and of whom no trace could be found, and whose absence had caused deep distress among her relatives. In the af ternoon just before the Eagle went to press, a gentleman came in to stop the publication of the advertisement, stating the missing lady bad been found, and related the tollowiii"; smcuiar story: young lady went on Sunday after noon io the l'resbvterian Church, corner Atlantic and Bond streets; after the Sunday school exercises she went to her iu the gallery. The minister having leave town to attend the Synod, no ser vice was held iu the afternoon, and the sexton supposing the congregation had retired, closed up the church, locking the young lady in the building all alone. She she tried to get out, but the doors re ber efforts to force them open, the windows were beyond her reach, and she unable to make herself heard, outside. she remained a close prisoner in the church until Wednesday afternoon, when sexton went in to prepare the place for usual evening prayer meeting, and dis covered the missing lady, who was in a exhausted state for want of food, having been fasting iu solitary confine ment for seventy hours. Brooklyn Eagle. The President's View of the Monroe. Doctrine. The New York correspondent of the London Herald records a conversation re ported to have taken place between the President aud a gentleman who called upon him, in reference to the Monroe doc trine. Ihe following are the observ ations of the President, as given : .My mission is the Union. 1 teel that if 1 can, within my term of office, restore all the States to their former relations with each other and with the Union, and can bring about as well a harmonious, if not aosoluteiv Iraternal leeling Detween aud South, I shall have merited the applause of my countrymen, and earned an honorable place in history. To the restoration of the Union in spirit as well as in fact, I shall bend all my energies. hall permit no foreign question to in terfere with the full development of my heme lor such restoration. i have enough to do without devoting attention to other matters. The Monroe doctrine is all right. I believe in it. But there are greater principles at stake than those in volved in tliatquestion. w lien tue union is restored it will be time for talking abort foreign aggressions on this continent. 1 shall do all I can to make the Southern people happy, and to palliate the bitter ness of their defeat. in A Letter from Dickens. The Autooravhic Mirror is a London monthly publication, giving fac-similes of the handwriting of distinguished men. In its last issue appeared the following characteristic private letter, never before published, from Charles Dickens: Devonshire Terrace, 1 2d January, 1814. My Dear Sir: That is a very horrible case you tell mc of. 1 would to God I could" get at the parental heart of , in which event I would so scarify it that he should writhe again. But if I were to put such a father as he is into a book, all the fathers going (and especially the bad ones) would hold up their hands and protest against the unnatural carica ture. I fiud that a great many people (particularly those who might have sat for the character) consider even Mr. Peck sniff a grotesque impossibility, and Mrs. Nickleby herself, sitting bodily before me in a solid chair, once asked me if I really believed there ever was such a woman. So , reviewing his own case, would not believe in Jonas Chuzzlewit, " I like Oliver Twist," says , " for I am fond of children; but the book is unnatural, for who would think of being cruel to poor little Oliver Twist?'' Nevertheless, I will bear the dog in my mind, and if I can hit him hetween the eves so that he shall stagger mora than vou or I have done this Christmas under the combined efforts of Punch and Judy, 1 will.

He was a pure lover of nature. Ralph Waldo Emerson savs of him: "He was bred to no profession ;" he never mar- riea ; ne uvea alone; ne never went to church ; he never Voted ; he refused to pay a tax to the State ; he ate no flesh : he drank no Wine: he never knew the use of tobacco; and though a naturalist, he used neither trap nor gun. lie chose wisely, no doubt, for himself, to be the bachelor of thought and of nature. He had no talent ior weaitn. and knew how to be noor wunoui tne least hint ot squalor or inele -.t ... . .. , i gance. Perhaps ho fell into his way of living without forecasting it much, but ap proved it with later wisdom. 'I am often reminded,' he wrote in his journal, 'that if i naa oestowea on me the wealth of Croe sus, my aims must still be the same, and my means essentially the same.' He hud no temptat ions to fiirht against no anrie- uies, no passions, no tastes tor elei-ant trifles. A line house, dress, the -manners and talk of hitrhly cultivated people were all thrown away on him. He much pre ferred a good Indian, and considered these refinements impediments to conversation, wishing to meet his companions on the simplest terms. Ho did not like the taste of wine, aud never had a vice in his life. V hen asked at the table what dish b nro. ferred, he answered : "The nearest." He chose to be rich bv niakinr his wnnts few, aud supplying them himself. In his travels he used the railrond only to gel over so much country as was unimportant to the present purpose, walking hundreds of miles, avoiding taverns, buying a lodg ing in farmer's and fishermen's houses, as cneaper and more agreeable to him, be cause there he could better hnd the men and the information he wanted. in ioj'j ne mint nimseif a small irame house on the shores of Walden Pond, and lived there two years alone, a life of labor and study. He lived at about the rate of one dollar per "week. No opposition or ridicule had any weight with him. He could find his path in the woods at night, he said, better by his feet than his eves, lie was a good swimmer, runner. kater, boatman, and would probably out walk most countrymen in a day's iournev. He liked and used the simplest friod, vet nen some one urged a vegetable diet. Thorcau thought all "diets a very small matter, saying that the man who shoots the buffalo lives better than the man who boards at the Graham House." Whilst he used in his writings and con versation, sometime, a certain petulenceof remark in reterce to churches or church men, he was a person of rare, tender and absolute religion, a person capable of any proianation, by act or by liiougnt. His senses were acute, and he remarked that by night every dwelling house gives out bad air, like a slaughter house. "Thank God." he said, "thev cannot cut down the clouds. All kinds of figures are drawn on the blue ground with this fibrous wnite paint. Ihe country knows not yet, nor hardly the least part, how great a son it has lost. His studies required longevity. No one can finish his task. But he, at least, eontcut. His soul was made for the noblest society ; he had, in a short life, ex- nausted the capabilities ot this world: herevcr there is knowledge, wherever there is virtue, wherever there is beauty, he will find a home. ty-one John Van Buren, in his speech at Al bany, on Thursiuty evening, said: " It is remarkable that all the Federalists who have been elected have died iu office, and the Vice Presidents who succeeded them have been good Democrats. Harrison, Taylor and Lincoln died, and good Dem ocrats succeeded them. Do you not see the finger of Providence?" It may be that the Democratic party is ordinarily under the special care of Providence, who takes off Presidents on its behalf. But the general imprecsion is that it was Booth who killed Lincoln and that it was not an act to thank God for. of C'alkina, Urintn Co."

An important case was tried before the United States District Court tit .Mem phis, Tenn, last week. It was that of Park against Hamilton, and its history as follows : In the vear 1862. while rebel forces still held possession of Memphis, the defendant, Thomas A. llam- iton, was appointed by the rebel govern ment an agent to seize certain sugars and cotton, the property of merchants whom was believed were purchasing and hold sucn commodities upon speculation, in view of the probable surrender of Mem phis to the federal forces, and against the laws of the rebel congress, and the declared policy of that government; whose officers were instructed to prevent tho undue ac cumulation of articles of prime commer cial value at-points as seriously threatened Memphis then was. In obedience to instructions then given him, Hamilton seized a number of hogsheads of sugar, property of Dr. A. J. Park valued at $75,000 and turned it over to rebel receiver or quartermaster, or with other sugars at the time seized, sent south by railroad. No vouchers wer given, but a memorandum was made at time of the value and number of bar rels and hogsheads, and in some cases, we believe, copies of such were furnished the owners. Dr. Park now brings suit against Hamilton to recover the value of the property so seized. Un the 28th ultimo the jury came into court, and announced thut they were unable to agree upon a verdict, and the case goes over to the next term of the court. Another case of importance came up before the court on the 28th ultimo. It that of Thomas R. Chester against F. Titus, R. C. Briukley and others, members the vigilance committee, or such of its members as are now living, to recover the value of a steamboat seized by that body afterwards turned over to the rebel government and destroyed; and having been a resident of St. Louis during the war, being all the while recognized as a loyal man, if he establishes the fact of seizure and destruction, according to the charge of Judge Trigg in the case of Park Hamilton, he will, it is thought, re cover the full value of his craft from the parties sued. of at of no The Norfolk Roanoke House folks, a few days since, hearing of the whereabouts of guest who had decamped without going through the usual formality of paying his sent him a nose, "Mr. , Dear sir: Will you send amount of your bill, and oblige," etc. To which the delinquent made answer " The amount is $8u,62A, Yours respectfully." of H.

In Alex andria recently a fowling piece was taken by a Justice of the Peace from a colored man, on the ground that the statutes of irgtina rendered such possession by a negro illegal.

Hereafter no colored man will be arrested when found with a fowlin? piece in his possession, nor will he be liable to arrest, a 1 understand lie is now, if found out doors after the hour of ten. The Judge further states that this course will be strictly adhered to. The colored man must be regarded, so far as the rights of property and tho freedom of person is concerned, precisely on tho same footing with the white citizen.

Washington, October 11. The Secre tary of the Treasury lately decided to pay the Texas indemnity bonds presented the Department with evidence that they were loaned by loyal holders and had been transmitted from the State of Texas only through loyal parties. It is not, however, the intention of tbe Department pay bonds presented without such evi dence and without a carefid scrutiny .of the facts in each case. Gov. Hamilton of Texas, has represented the Department that certain Texas in demnities and bond were held by officers the rebel government and fraudulently taken by the State Treasury and are now New JforEto be disposed ot lor the benefit of certain rebels who have gone there since the close of the rebellion, and Gov. Hamilton protests against the pay ment of this particular bonds to any party excepting the State of Texas. The facts given by Gov. Hamilton are, that on the th ot January, lboi, tne so-caned military Board of the State the State of Texas composed of G. Murry, rebel Governor and ex-officio. President of the board, N. B. Beaver, and J. S. Holman made a contract with AV. AVhite of Austin, Texas, and John Childs of Hamiltoncounty, Texas, to deliver them 135 Texas indemnity bonds coupons attached, amounting to $156,287,50. AVhite and Childs agreeing deliver payment of $25,000 in cotton at $5 per pair, and the balance in medicines ol the best quality. 1 he bonds coupons were to be delivered to them immediately upon the execution ol contract, on their furnishing satisfactory security for the performance the contract, or to pay to the military board, m case thev should tail to tulnil the contract by delivering cards and med icines, lexas seven or eight per cent, bonds at par, worth at that time about eight cents on the dollar, while United States bonds were rated at eighty cents on dollar, when in fact they were worth 140 cents, being paid by the Government o-old. On the 12th of January, the date of the contract, AVhite & Childs exe cuted a bond to the State of Texas to se- cure a performance of the contract, and on 12th of March following the military board took from the State Treasury one hundred and thirty-five United States Texas indemnity bonds and delivered them AVhite Childs, taking a receipt therefor. No cards or medicines were ever deliv ered by the parties, but AVhite and Childs have come North and endeavored to ob tain pardon, and are trying to dispose of bonds as their own property in the New York market. Governor Hamilton requested the Secretary of the Treasu to pay none of these bonds, and it will advisable for all parties purchasing Tex as indemnity bonds to see that none of them have come through the hands of AVhite and Childs, as in tnat event their nn-n,nt no-ninrt the nrotest of the State tri-ioriti gun to-day, of The But, na The be to that the for won teat tion nor in in been cer city for acre White and Childs have both been in Wash ington, and are now supposed to be in New York INDIAN VISITOR.

From a late number of London Society we collate an account of a reigning queen comedy in Paris: Mdlle. Schneider, formerly of tho Palais Royal, but now of the Varieties, is very handsome, and what is still better in Paris very fair. Her most recent success has been as La Belle Helene, in the bur lesque opera of that title, composed by M. Offenbach, to a story whose main incidents are taken from the classic 'legend of the Trojan Helen. It is not unlikely that the color of Mdlle. Schneider s hair was the source of the composer's inspiration ; it certainly inspired the song to. Venuis They pall me the Monde, The fair danj-hter of Leda," wntch ts one or its favorits niorceaux. Not content with the naturally flaxen-hucd framing of her face, she resorted to art for sunnier tint. To judge from her the Greeks and Trojans fell out and fought about a lady whose hair was- red. Mdlle. Schneiders acting is extravagant. She has a genius for absurdity, and is possessed it as by an evil spirit. When debating between conjugal duty and the dictates of her heart, her. face will suddenly lose all expression, her limbs become straight and unmanageable, and she will move after tie manner of a wooden doll afflicted witn St. Vitus. She has a charming voice and sings with taste and power. As she holds high note she will shake her head like a mechanical figure, or use her hands and feet as If she were an automaton, whose interior clock-work had been wound v.p and set going. AVbenever she assumes classic robe, it is to display beneath it tricks, manners, customs, habits, antics and expressions of a fast modern modiste. The opera Bouge. where she performs, is admirable institution, and while M. Offenbach continues to compose, the resort must be delightful for a couple ofjiuux' amisement. Offenbach takes most of his subjects for composition from heathen mythology, mingling modern manners and mythologi attire in the most extravagent way. One hears Venus talk of cosmctiqus and crinoline; Mars of breach-loaders ; Bac chus of South African sherry, and Apollo thejewsharp; Minerva taking three lumps of sugar to her tea, and Juno 'Tow ing" the cloud-compeller and talking kitchen politics is a pleasant link cf asso ciation between the past and the present.
