We are informed by one who has been through the frontier towns of this ^county that the Bagley men of those towns are unwilling to submit to the shameful sur- render -Scgley has made; but are deter- mined to \light it out en this line if i t takes all summer.\ They say they will •not longer sulJmit to the intrigues of the Laflin-O'Donnell Custom House ring, but will take the Democratic nominee for Con- gress, as tlieir standard bearer in the pres- ent emergency. They are already plant- ing their heavy guns and picking the flints of the small iim;s to make a general onslaught on Jlcrrium, on the 8th of No- vember. We hear the same leeling exists throughout the County, and also in Lewis County. Tho more intelligent of the Re- publican party object very decidedly to being handed ovur t o the support of this or that man, like sheep in the sham- bles, at the beck or nod of any man or cliiuie. Especially do they object to en dorse, by voting for Merriam, the treach- ery and corruption of Mr. B. B. Brown or his purchasers. S\iie Sxrcopliag Result In Pennsylvania. The result of the election in Pennsylva- nia is more than glorious. Tho corrupt monopoly party i s overwhelmed. The Democratic majority in the State is over 8,000. Six Democratic Members of Con- gress have be en gained and one elected by ] Democrats and Conjeryative Republicans. Morrell, the Bessemer state monopolist, is defeated, and the scandalous Cessna, who when on the committee of election, by par- 5 tial and worse conduct, took the initiative | in turning about twenty fairly elected Democrats out of Congress. But the out- raged people have kicked him. out of Con- gress, and he ought to b e kicked out of good society. The laboring masses of Pennsylvania hare discovered the cheat and will rally to the rescue and put down the tariff monopolists and swindlers. Indiana Election. In Indiana, the Democrats and Conser- vatives have made a clean sweep. The Democratic majority on the State ticket is 2,500. Two members of Congress have been gained, making a large majority of the delegation. la both branches of the Legislature there is a good working ma- jority. Poor Morton will be compelled to give up his mission to England to keep Hendricks out of tho Senate, RE-UNION OFFICE. RE-UNION OFFICE. RE-UMON OfFIOE. RI-UNION OFFICE.

A re-union of the agents for the Phoenix Life Ins, Co. of Hartford, Ct., in Northern and Western New York, occurred on the 13th instant at Syracuse. At 4 o'clock p. M., about fifty gentlemen sat down to. a bountifully spread and elegantly appoint- ed table a t the Globe Hotel. James P. Burns, Esq., the estimable and gentleman- ly Secretary of the company, presided. Having done justice to the edibles, and' the cloth being removed, the first regular toast, \The old Phrenis and its respected Secretary,\ was drank with all the honors. Mr. Burns responded in a most happy manner, complimenting the attache-- oi the Company upon their efforts to susra'a its reputatior, and by statistics sliowiv'g tho success whic ii had resulted from their exertions, the-company standing to-day in the advance, and promising for the future to take the Icul of all oilier companies ht the ratio of assets to liabilities, its expan- ses and ratio of lissei. The Secretary was warmly applauded during his rmiarkr.. In concluding h e gave as the next toast inordor, Dr. A. W. Goodale, the manager for' the district; which was very happily responded to by the Doctor, who although disclaiming any ability as a speaker, proved that? emergencies often develop talents of a, high order, which the modesty of the in- dividual has concealed. Mi\ E.J. Clark, of the 'Watertown agen- cy, in response to a call made some excel- ' lent allusions to his experience in life in- surance, accompanying his remarks with anecdotes, facetious and illustrative. Messrs. Fowler, Miller, W. H. Clark and other gentlemen followed in well timed expressions, At (1:80 the company arosp, well satisfied that life insurance was one of the institu- tions of the i.iuntry, benefleient and pro- tective in It.- character, and that the \Old riift'im.\ it-1 M/elli'iit officers and faithful corpa of ai-i-iit-*, stood in the foremost rank, and that their efforts in all honora- ble way shmihHie exerted to make the occasion oi' their leading company of rnllt.ii/UK.

On the 10th inst., a terrible rain storm swept over a part of the Island of Cuba, accompanied by hurricane gusts of wind, The city ofMatansas was utterly sub- merged. At first the waters of the bay were driven out to sea, but by a change of the furious winds were driven back in waves mountain high, which deluged the city. The country for a great extent was inundated by the rain and invading waters of the sea. From one to two thousand lives were lost, and 13,000 head of cattle drowned.

In the action before Orleans, the Irish veluntuers greatly distinguished theul- sdvi..-, anil have received the warmest- thanks of the commanding general. The Irish legion boldly charged the flank of the Prussian army advancing on Tours, threw a division into confusion, and caus- ed a terrible slaughter, The whole Prus- sian army prepared for a general battle, remained un the field till the next morn- ing and then fell back on Orleans. The Irish volunteers arc commanded by CoL Lawler, who served in our civil war under Lee. 13cf.ru the action ho made a speech to Ills* men ; i\=' soon as his address was ended, he gave orders to charge, They rushed forward carrying everything be- - fore them, ro-ariuNs UHI'AUX.N BV THE FREKCII. The French have, retaken positions at Vitry, Villejuif, Issy, Suresnes, Puteaux, Courbevoie, Asuierts, Pierrefiitte, Stains, La Com' Nfiive, Fontenayard, Nogent-sur- Marne, and ho d also the bridge of Join- ville and the Island of (ienevilhers. Th e forts are armed with 2,140 guns, manned by 13,000 men. In the magazines there arc three million kilogrammes of powder, and each gun has a supply of 500 balls. The manufacture of rifled cannon, mitral- leuses. ehasssepots, cartridges and other munitions continues with great activity,. and the supply of provisions is ample, An engagement took place on t]ie 17th,. and resumed on tne 18th. The Prussians . in force on the evening of the 17th at- tacked the redoubt of Hautet-Bruyers,.. near Issy, and were repxlsed. With re- doubled forces they renewed the attack at 1 o'clock the next morning, but after a 3. hours struggle were again repulsed. The French officers have tho highest. confidence in the American and Irish vol- unteers. The Paris Offrioial Journal of the 15th positively declares that G-en. Burnside had. no mission from the Prussian authorities when ho visited Paris. He: was merely an officious agent. The best answer to the Prussian dis- patches, saying th eir loss was trilling bo- lore Paris on. the 13th, is found in the of- ficial report, just published, showing that after the battle, the Prussians demanded a- truce of five hours in order to bury their dead.
