KEN TU CKY ELECTION —JAMES

B. CLAY.

Seldom has a State election occurred «which was looked forward to with more intense interest throughout, the country, than the late Kentucky election. Upon the •-•.verdiet as there rendered, depended the last hope of recuperating the moving rowers of Know Nothingism. The tale i.told. The Telegraph wires'have borne' into every portion of our coniiiry the result of the recent election, and it is everywhere hailed with pleasure by the Democracy, and sends Know Nothings and DopuV.i-x-ans into their gloomy cells, to meditate about their hard fates.

Glorious old Kentucky! Xinc Democrats elected out of the ten Congressmen, and some little prospect, for the tenth one. 'Every district has been carried, unless •.•.'Humphrey Marshall is elected in the Louisville district, which is probable. The

City authorities made no proper arrangements for the protection of naturalized foreigner?, and, to be secure from violence, over two thousand of this class of citizens left Louisville previous to the day of the election. The Legislature is largely Democratic, which insures a Democratic Senator. The State Treasurer is elected by a very large majority. Kentucky is now firmly stationed in the Democratic column. Know Nothingism is forever extinct in the TJnitcd States.

The greatest victory in tin's election is the triumphant success cf James B. Clay, in the Ashland District. No man in the "Union has been so grossly maligned for so little active political life, as this worthy descendant of a most illustrious parentage.— True to the principles, teaching and practice of his father: with every instinct opposed to all proscription and all sectionalism, when the Whig party was disbanded lie had no hesitancy in determining'what ploction day. Many of them had with was his duty. The love of country over-1 them their wives and children.

W hcrevcr he !tn6ntary on the spirit, of Know NothingVent thousands flocked to hear him. No ism! This is the freedom and the proteconc man effected more real good in*the late tiou which the secret order jmarantees to presidential campaign than this noble scion the citizen—compelling him to abandon of his, illustrious parent,

Soldiers:—You arc now deliberating upon a very momentous subject, and without enquiring into your affairs, still 1 think I can put you in a way whereby you can take the city of Monterey, without the shedding of one drop of bloods Of course all were anxious to know how such an unusual feat'coald be accomplished, and, urged by these noble soldier?, ho coolly explained, in his own way.

CGT A few days since, passing the pleasant residenceot'our personal friend A aro.n*. L. .Snydkk, we paused to refresh ourseif with a cooiing draught from his most excellent well. Aakon is ever obliging and gentlemanly,.and his lady is one oi' those rare personages we seldom meet since so many innovations have been made upon the social customs of good old times. Invitation was extended to us, and we took a stroll over his farm, ami from what we observed and from his conversation, we came to the conclusion that he is one of the foremost farmers in our county, as he is acknowledged to own one of the best of farms. His corn is the farthest advanced and the most even we have seen. The wheat stood in such large shocks and the shocks were so numerous, wc could not count them without traveling ail over the fields. Oats yet uncut, were up to our shoulders, and the heads were equal to the straw. Success and long life to this never failing friend, for of a!l men he is ihe prince of good fellows. ... -. ,m

We_are.notin possession of fall details of tlic dreadfal 1^-briliiant movements in ihe East l«ading faetp, combined with a knowledge of the measures on foot previous.to the arrival of therlast mail,

gesfc tons ih(S needful propriety of anticipating the detailfi by some remarka which will tend to illustrate what is to come/-

It is verv evident that the outbreak-has been meditated for some time. -A private letter from the Rev. Dr. .Duff to a friend in England (since published in-the London Times) says: "So long as the" spirit of disaffection in the native army, with its occasional outbreaks, teas only circulated by whispers, I felt it better not to allude to the subject." The religions indignation at being offered pig and bullock fat to grease their rifle cartridges was only anat-1 ural and national ebullition of part of that "spirit of disaffection" which was not only known to exist, but was feared and not publicly alluded to, lest it might the sooner derive that importance which the public notice of it by disbanding a regiment has sinec conferred upon it. The movement loses the guise of a ihutiny, and stalks forth with all the majestic rage of a national religious war. It takes the shape of a war of independence. From the seat of the extinct glory of the mighty Mogul empire it is proclaimed.

When the disbandment of the Mcorut cavalry regiment took place when, as Dr. Duff says, seventy or eighty of the ringleaders were tried, and sentenced to many Years' imprisonment with hard work, in irons, two troops of the said regiment dashed off towards Delhi. They sounded the tcesin as they went. Their voices awoke "the sleepers-. They drew people after them, as leaveslire drawn into currents of wind or water. The road to Delhi became alive with action, with "rebellion," with indiscriminate plunder."

Delhi 'received the avenging fugitives v,ith open arms. The three native regiments there made common cause with them, adopted tl-em, and also adopted the arsenal, ammunition, and rensiny attacked, and it is said massacred, the English there and, with a great stroke of policy, proclaimed the rightful sovereign, "the heir apparent of the titular Emperor of Delhi," the lineal successor of the great 3Iogiil, Emperor of India. "An event one-half so disastrous," says Dr. Duff, in

pious horror, has not yet occurred "in the history of Dritish India." The very name of Delhi is a talisman of vengeance to the natives all over Indiai It is full cf ancicnt •rlorv, and teeming with warlike memories. The seat, of power, wealth, and splendor, which Moore, in his Lalla Eookh, extols with a luscious phrensy, is only less oriental than the gardens of Shalimn.r themselves in times past. At present, its strong position derives an increased importance from those bulwarks that traditionary greatness rears on the minds of a race descended of conquerors.

Delhi is the capital of the province of ihe same name, is situate on the Jummn, 830 miles northwest from Calcutta. Its importance and 'splendor as the ancicnt capital of the Patau and Mogul empires is yet evidenced by the magnificent extent of the ruins of ihc old city, which arc said, on competent authorities, to cover as large a surface as London, Westminister, and Southwark. The present city is to the northeast of the old one, was built by the Emperor Seah Sehan, and called by him Shahjchanbad. It is seven miles in circumference, is generally '.veil built, and ten years ago held a population of over 200,000.— Bishop Ileber, when he visited the Emperor. here, described the palace as a kingly residence, far surpassing the Kremlin at Moscow, and was only inferior to Windsor Castle.

The most.particular feature, however, of Delphi is, that it is situated on a rocky range of hills, and is surrounded by an embattled wall, with many bastions and intervening martcllo towers, faced along its whole extent, with substantial masonry, and strengthened by the British, some years ago, with a meat and glacis. Wat?r, however, is scarce, and is the only drawback upon the city. We must remember,

manner cant enough of its valu gained in a w:-r such :s might bc cxpectcd in the locality. If the English thought it a stronghold against the emergency of a native insurrection, why may it not be of equal value to the natives when in possccsion

it is still spreading. Already twenty-three regiments had joined the "rebels" to say nothing of the people. We must wait to learn the particulars of the reported defeat of the native army outside of Delhi, before we can attach, too great an importance to it as its announcement implies. If, as would seem the fact, an extended conspiracy is at the bottom of this war—a war for the restoration of the native princes—the report of British success at this point, or any single point, is considerably lessened by the crowding csi^cticics of an extensive and

It would seem thaJLthe reports we receive are but the beginning, of a aeries of reconldeM desperate and defiant stands against the British power, in that rpgion of the sun. It. is stated that Sir Colin Campbell, an officer of known powers,,had started for the theatre, of war at four hours' notice. Previous to the last news 14.000 men had been ordered for In•V iiitt.'!.: v:-.... ..••is .' dian-'service..^he.Xondon Globe says .j» "A.S: soon as the cabinet meeting had teruiinated, the telegraph was actively at work to..different directions. The 1st Eoyals, at Dublin, the 19th regiment,,at Portsmouth, the 30th, at the Curragh, and the 79th Higlanders, at Dublin, were placed under orders for making a force of 4,000 men.—

The draughts at the depot at Chatham to the different regiments amount altogether to about 8,000 men. The 2d regiment of dragoon guards, a battalion of the 60th rifles, a battalion of the rifle brigade, and the 7th fusiliers, making a force of 4,500 men, were under orders to embark for India before the arrival of the last mail.—

The 64th and 78th, regiments have before this reached Calcutta. Altogether the total augmentation of the troops in India will amount to 14,000 men."

Thus have we glimpses of the conflict, and echoos of the "dreadful notes of preparation" being made to sustain it. Wc must suspend judgment, however, and remember that, as Edmund Burke said in regard to the armies sent to keep us a colony, "terror is not always the effcct of force and an armament is not a victory."

Of.2 HiC'KOliy.

The young Democracy on Wednesday evening, brought out Old Hickory, and, in thundering notes through it, spoke their gratification over the result of the Kentucky election. Nine rounds were fired to tell the people the number cf Congressmen the Democracy had elected in that State. They certainly managed it well—used large eartrages, and drove them home, fir, we never heard such awful reports. The round for the Asland District, fairly shook the earth. Wc arc pleased to see our young men so enthusiastic. They are actuated, aloue, by the impulses of good natures, and motives of true principles. As the sound of the cannon boomed in the air, wc felt proud of the result of that election—prnud of the indomitable young Democracy, and pity for the forlorn hopes of Know Nothinginn, and Black Eepublicanisni—each, now deeply "buried in the ashes of dispair."

The Is'iagara will lay the first half, from Ireland to the middle of the Atlantic: the end will then be joined to the other half on board the Agamemnon, which takes it on to the coast of Newfoundland.

SIRS. CUNKINGUA.1I ARRESTED. New York, Tuesday, August 4. Mrs. Cunningham

Avas

arrested to-day

on the chargc of felony, canncctcd with the fictitious birth of an heir to Dr. BurdeH.

Mrs. Cunningham's couuscl hinted on her trial that she was cncicnte by Dr. BurdjU.

Shortly after her acquital she "sent for Dr. IThl, her medical adviser, and consulted him on her expected accouchement.

In the course of a conversation, the Doctor's suspicions were aroused, lie consulted District Attorney Hall, but declined to make an affidavit, urging motives of prcfcssional delicacy. f:f?£

Mi*. Hall pointed out the law in the revised statutes, and declared that Mrs. Cunningham's contemplated act was a felony.

The Doctor finally agreed to submit to Mr. Hall's advice, and measures were immediately taken to frustrate the meditated fraud.

A story was invented of a California widow being about to bccomo a mother, and wishing to dispose of her child. Mrs. Cunningham liked the plan, and became impatient to have it carried out.

A child was borrowed Irom ili'j Bdlevuc House, and the dcnoaci n' tot pi he yesterday at noon..

District Attorney Hall m::dc an aladavit at midnight, and Mrs. Cnnnnu/hnm was arrested this morning. The child v,a.- sent to No. 31 Bond-street, where Dr. Catlm, Mrs. Cunningham's former physician, was in attendance with a nurse.

In the midst of this the police ncl r] !ii and arrested ail the parties. Dr. Catkn md the nurse were.taken to the Str.U hoMs-s. Mrs. Cunningham, still feigning to oe ill from her accmu-hnncnt, was allowed to remain i:i her 'chamber under the surveillance of the i'olicc.

The lovers i.f honesty and fairness will 2nd a beautiful demonstration of those qualities in the. exposure which we are about to make. One- of the principal charges which'the Bcpubliean press has uiade'against Chief Justice Taney, in connection with the Dred Scott decision, w.. that he uttered the .sentiment that negroe.have no rights which white men arc hound to respect. This charge has appeared in all the organs'of Republicanism, and has especially been reiterated in the (Ju.Z'ttc a:ul Commercial of this city. Now, mark the dishonesty of those, prints. In Judge Taney's decision occurs-the following anagraph, when speaking of r.cgrocs "The/ had, for more than a century before. been regarded as beings of an inferior order and altogether unfit to associate ic ith the white race, either in socifd or political relations and so far inferior that they had no rights u-h idi, the white r,um was bound to rcspcct and that the nc.ero might justly and .lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought a id sold, and was treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it.'' "This opinion was, at that time universal in the civilized white race. It was regarded as an axiom in morals as well as in politics, winch no one thought of disputing, or supposed to be open to dispute and men in every grade and position of society daily and habitually acted upod it in their private pursuits, as well as in matters of public concern, without doubting for a moment the correctness of his opinion."

THE WAY THE !?Vi"EiJE-S Dlu.ut. Bayard Taylor, in one of his letters to the New York Tribune, writes:

Drunkenness is a leading vice among the Swedes, as we have daily evidence here. Six years ago the consumption of brandy throughout the kingdom was nine gallons for every man. woman'and child, annually hut it has been decreased considerably since then, mostly through the manufacture of beer and porter. "Jiajcrskt ol," (a Bavarian beer) is now to be had everywhere and is rapidly becoming the favorite drink of the people. Sweden and the T.'nited States are fast proving the fact that lager beer is more efficacious in preventing intemperance than any amount of prohibitory law. Brandy-drinking is still, nevertheless, one of the greatest curses of Sweden. It is no unusual thing to see boys of twelve or fourteen to take their glass of fiery f)ihle before dinner. The celebrated Swedish punch, made of arrack, wine and sugar, is a universal evening drink, and one of the most insidious ever invented, despite its agrseable flavor. There is a movement of total abstinence, but it seems to have made but little progress, except as it is connected with some of the new religious ideas which arc now preached throughout the country.

EMIGRATION FROM MISSOURI. A correspondent writing from Fort Laramie, says: "There is an immense emigration on the Plains this Summer, mostly from Missouri. Thousands are leaving the States to find a more genial climate, the Winters having been so cold lately. I once asked a Missourian why he was going to California.— He replied, "I'll be doggone if I'll stay in a country where the cold weather freezes the shucks off the cattle's feet.". The road is filled with the covered wagons and stock. It is estimated that 40,000 head of cattle arc on the road from Missouri alone. -----

PLAIN TRUTHS.

A London newspaper, in noticing a meeting held to consider the subject of popular education, at which Prince Albert presided, says:

The premature toil of the children of the poor is a necessity which results from the enormous amount of wealth which the poor are compelled to produce for the sustcntation of ihc immense shoals of lazy sybarites with which this country is infested.., Of those luxurious and insatiable dovourers, Prince Albert and his family arc the center. The family of this idle foreigner .done costs the working classcs of England inward of one million sterling per annum. Nov,', if wc estimate the yearly earnings of an English operative at .C25—which is above the avarage—here wc find that Prince Albert's family costs the country as inch as forty thousand families of working men. That is to say forty thousand operatives are robbed—devoured, in order that this foreign family should live in idleness, luxury and splendor. As we have said,^ Prince Albert's. family is but the cent' this system—of this extravagant ariu devouring idleness, which tho working lasses have to support., and which, to susain, the working man's child must toil the noisome and fetid factories when lie ought to bo learning in schooler gamboling the field.

After a few more gentle digs at the royal ribs, we read: FVr less docs our fat and princely lecimvr ohoose to state that that land, of all 'oimtries on the face of tho earth, is the one in which the means of human wellbeing do most abound. that all the ignoncj and crime, all tho indigence and ualoL' which deform and dcSle this richof lands, are the natural and inevitable product of that infernal system of government which, like a black arch of jel', spans and darkens the nation, shutting out from the souls of the people ihe light, ove and beneficence of Deity who conned them for happiness and that of this black arch, Prince Albert and his iannlv are the keystone and the crown.

Mmt vls in Chicago Illinois.—Chicago has been always considered a "fast" city but recent public developments show it to bc a little too fast for its own good. Last .Monday the merchants and business men wore surprised to find that their salesmen, agents and clerks were r.ot at their places of business. An inquiry explained the cause. The policc had the night before made a descent upon the various houses of ill fame in tho city, and nabbed the visitors to the extent of forty or fifty. They were all lodged in close quarters over night, and in the morning fined 65 each and costs.

Jfey^'Bv and by" is tbe bridal bell of ail the world. It is rung by the hands of Hope, and proclaims the wedding of the heart of to-day with the bliss of to-morrow.

When we were children, we fancied the school bell rang out an articulate 'come-to-

or 'go-aud-play'

'go-and-play.' More real and audible beats the universal heart, 'by and by—'by

Like the,arrow that the fairy bore on, when the force of the bow was fipent: like the cloud and the pillar that went before the host in the desert, is 'by and by there's a promised land, and a thousand summer isles beyond it. Whether it beats beneath Lsbmaei's dusky vestment, or the snowy billow of Circassian bosom, it is forever blest, and forever nv and by.

The New York Tribune has anew

idea. Having found bran-bread diet an unpopular proposition, it has now assumed the advocacy of horse meat as preferable to beef, mutton or pork This superiority has bec-n sufficiently established, the Tribune savs, by the experiments of the Parisian gastronomists. There will be many neiglis to this proposition. It-could only originate in the poor, miserable spirit of an ismmonger—a bloodless, dyspeptical misanthrope ami fanatic. The idea of making beef out of that noble animal, for which every man of heart entertains an affection only second to that which binds him to his own race—the animal which approaches nearer than any other of the four-footed creation to man, in the nobler traits of soul and character—could only emanate from the bipeds of the Greeley species. There should be a law passed for such sneaks, against killing the horse to eat, unless it^be a broken-legged or used-up animal, which would be relieved by death, and that would ... be pretty good .diet foi such creatures.— The offense of equicide must be defined and. provided for by our next Legislature, or the Greelcyitcs will be getting up a horse-eat-ing phalanx and party—Cin.
