The last steamer has furnished the news relating to the election held for State officers in California. The entire Democratic ticket is clcctcd by thirteen thousand This is truly gratifying! The last hope of Black Republicanism and Know Nothingism is extinguished on tho Pacific shore.— Withering blows aro after them everywhere. The election of JOHN B. WELLER by this immenso majority, as Governor of the GoldcnState, is everywhere hailed with pleasuro. Many of our readers were school boys with him—many witnessed his first 'ndvent nt the b:ir—many have seen his brilliant political oarccr, and all who know him know his gentlemanly attributes. The news of his election will extend a joy throughout the whole North-west that none but those who know the man can appreciate. Will Ohio, his own native State, send abroad tidings that the National Democracy there respond to the sentiments of their brethren everywhere?

SELL YOUIt WHEAT.

Wheat

now selling in Crawfordsvillc

at sixty and sixty-live cents a bushel, and we advise our farmers by nil means to sell. This counscl may not bo worth much, but the following arc our reasons for giving it: lat. There never was as much wheat raised in all parts of

thi3

country, as there

is this year. 2d. The season for forwarding grain is getting short, and when navigation closes there must bo a decline in prices. 3d. The stringency in tho money market is toriblc, with no hope for relief for sixty days at least, when it will be too late to forward grain.

Wheat may go up to eighty ccnts before spring, but wo can see no reason why it should be abovo this for tho season.

Tii fKTiT

Wc notice that JACOB WINN, suc

cessor to Davis & Garvin, has just received his Fall and Winter stock of Goods.— Hal assortment of Fanoy Goods and Ready Made Clothing is very complete, and from tho very low figures at which he is selling, we arc not surprised at tho large crowd that daily throng his establishment.

IS^Itev. Mr. Eaton will preooh in the Court House next Sunday evening (11th) at 7 o'clock. .,

OHIO ELECTION. The election for State Officers will be holdcn in Ohio on next Tuesday. A Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Treasurer of State, Secretary of State, and Member of Board of Public Works, are to be chosen. Great enthusiasm appears to be manifested by the partizan papers of Ohio, and if the same excitement has been equally participated in by the masses, the canvass has been one of unusual interest. The Democratic papers represent the assemblages of their friends as unusually large, to hear political issues discussed. The Republicans seomingly avoid reference to the numbers of the masses assembling to listen to their orators. This would seem to indicate that, with the people, Democracy is in the asccudancy in Ohio. It must be borne in mind that a people, such as the indomitable Democracy, may be very enthusiastic, very active, displaying great strength, and yet be vastly inferior in numbers to a party that apparently seema indifferent to an issue, and yet ever present at the polls. Tho great display made of numbers at Mass Conventions often turn out but "windy vaporings"—a great display amounting to nothing. However, the Democratic party, as represented by their orators, their assemblages, and their established presses, is sanguine of succcss.

The Democratic candidates are the most unexceptional men to be found in Ohio, and the party, in all its strength, will undoubtedly rally as one man to their sup port. Henry B. Payne is one of the most effective orators in Ohio. William II. Lytic has all the eloquence of his gifted but lamented father. Henry C. Whitman is a masterly orator, possessing the choicest logical powers, the loftiest flights of descriptive eloquence, and, at times, the wittiest, and again the most sarcastic characteristics. The whole ticket is composed of men who'stand at the head of the party in Ohio. On the other hand, the Black Republican tickct possesses but one effective uiimc—that of Salmon P. Chase—and his sentiments of negro equality reuder him powerless. The rest ore odiou^ e\'en to their party friends. II. weald not be cause of surprise if the Democracy of Ohio Jhad reason for the faith that is in them, Sho'd their hopes be fulfilled, and Ohio redeemed from the thraldom of Blacky Republicanism, it would be impossible tojlcscribe the gratification of all the Union-loving men throughout the country. Sister States would, rejoice, even as the brave Spartan band, who for years have contended in Ohio against that party, that has brought dishonor upon Ohio's once proud and honorable escutcheon.

The majority given one year ago against tho Democracy in the State, is an immense one to overcome. Yet it is difficult to believe that tho citizens of Ohio are ready to embrace, after mature rcflcction, the doctrine of negro equality, and thereby make Ohio, with her line fields, her great improvements, her vast advantages, one immense reservoir for the worthless runaway and manumitted negroes of the South.— Facts and figures, in a few days, will tell the result.

WHAT IS A SPECIE PAYING BANK

Is it a bank which pays specie so long as no-body wants it, but the moment there is any special call for it, "will not submit to a run?" From the example of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Providence, &c.,wc should say that in their view this is the proper definition of a specie paying bank. If it be a correct one, the whole idea of a specie paying bank is a humbug. Such is not tho meaning attached to the term, either here or in Boston.

THE SCECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.— Tho N. Y. Times bestows high commendations upon Mr. Cobb, the able and patriotic Secretary of the Treasury, for shaping the government disbursments for the last thirty days so as to afford the largest pecuniary relief to the community. Sincc the 24th of August ho has rcduccd his balance in the sub-treasury at New York from §12,500,000, to $2,750,000, all of which has gone into the banks, reinforcing them with that amount of specie. Those movements are to be followed up by Mr. Cobb, the whole effect being to popularize the subtreasury system in a season of severe pecuniary trial, and to afford a degree of substantial aid to business, for which tho public arc largely indebted to the practical sense of tho head of the Treasury Department.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF AN AMERICAN LADY AT MOUNT BLANC.—A correspondent of the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian gives an account of the ascent of Mount Blanc by a large party, among whom there were several Americans, one of whom, a young lady named Tralaway slipped over an ice precipice and fell hundreds of feet into a fissure, where she must have been dashed to pieces. Living or dead, however, no assistance could be rendered her, and there her remains must lie until tho last trump shall sound.

HORRIBLE— STRYCHNINE.—Tho physician in the House of Correction, at Lawrence, Mass., reports it almost impossible to treat delirium tremens successfully now in consequencc of tho utter prostration of tho nervous system of drunkards by the strychnine so generally used in tho manufacture of various liquors.

TORES DAYS LITER FROM EUROPE.

ARRIVAL OE THE NIAGARA*

ALIFAX,Wednesday,October

The steamship Niagara, with Liverpool dates to the 26th ult., three days later than previous advices, has arrived here.

The papers furnish no later intelligence from India. Messrs. Harrison-, Watson & Co., of Hull, England, have failed. Their liabilities are very large-

The Emperor NapoleoraT and Alexander met at Suttgardt on the 25th ult. Mexico has accepted the negotiations of England and France in relation to the Spanish difficulties.

The Emperors of Russia and Austria are to have a meeting at Weimer on the first of October.

The Niagara arrived at six o'clock this morning. ENGLAND.

The 4th day of October has been fixed as a day for humiliation and prayer on account of the India troubles.

It was rumored that Lord Elgin would soon be appoiuted Governor General of India.

FRANCE.

The Patric says that the only effect of tho meeting of the Emperors Napoleon and Alexander is the furtherance of an amity between France and Russia. The Emperors meta Sututtgardt on the 25th ult.

Inundations had occurred in the south of France, causing immense damage to proper ty and loss of life.

The vintage was most abundant. SPAIN. A conference for the settlement of the Mexican question will be held at London.

RUSSIA. ,,

Afire at St. Petersburg had burnt one hundred and sixty vessels. The Czar has approved of a project for the partial abolition of serfdom.

A proclamation will be issued on his return from Stuttgardt, inviting owners to arrange for the liberation of their serfs.

The Emperors of Russia and Austria are to have a meeting at Weimer, October first.

Russia is fortifying the Straits of Yeuikale. INDIA.

The papers furnish no later intelligence from India. The government dispatches are momentarily expected.

Numerous fugitives from the mutinous districts in India had arrived at Southampton. They give frightful accounts of the condition of things at Calcutta and the upper provinces of India.

A detachment of French troops from Tehoria had arrived at Calcutta to protect the French interests.

CHINA.

Advices from China say that the corvctt Levant, in order to avenge the pillage of an American ship by a gang cf pirates, had burnt a village in the Island of Formosa, where the pirates resided.

THE LAST SAVED FKOJI THE CENTRAL AMERICA.

After a lapse of sixteen days sincc the first party of those saved from the Central America were landed at Norfolk from the gallant little brig Marine, and when every hope of seeing any more of the unfortunate passengers and crew of the lost steamer had been almost extinguished, three more have been returned to their homes. After enduring the moBt terrible sufferings on the open sea for nine days—they were without food or water—drenched with the waves, exhausted from exposure, and reduced to skeletons by starvation, they were mercifully snatched from death in the darkest hour of despair.

One of them, Mr. Tice, the second engineer, was drifting on a plank for seven-ty-two hours, when, espying ono of tho damaged life-boats, he fortunately succeeded in reaching her, and soon after fell in with the other two, Grant and Dawson, clinging to the hurricane deck of the steamer, and took them off.

There is a sad episode in the story of these men. It appears that at one time there were twelve in all on the hurricane deck, of whom ten perished miserably from exposure and starvation—a slow, lingering and painful death. While drifting about at the meroy of the waves, they saw several others clinging to portions of the wreck, but were unable to aid them and as there is no account of any of them having been taken off by any other vessel, the painful conclusion is forced upon us that they are lost—that we shall never hear more of the brave Ilerndon and the hundreds of unfortunates who went down with him on the deck of the Central America.

It is a remarkable fact that the men last rescued had drifted on their frail support nearly six hundred miles from® the spot where the steamer sunk, before they were picked up—a dreary voyage—the terrors of which, with a protracted and agonizing death staring them in the facc, no one but themselves can realize.

There arc few instances, if any, on record of men enduring so much from the disaster of shipwreck, yet coming so bravely through it. Though there is little cause for hope that any more will be or have been saved, still there is a bare possibility that some of those seen clinging to the Captain's cabin or the wheel-house may have been picked up by some vessel not yet heard from. Wc sincerely trust, though we hardly dare hope, ihat it may be so.

NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO.

Napoleon, when he had seen his Old Guard recoil, felt his great heart sink.— Several times he ohanged color, and looking on the field with that wondering gaze that seems to expect to banish some hideous vision, he panted for breath, and caught at his words for utteranoe. "The guard! the guard!" said he, "ils sent melcs.'" (they are mingled in a heap!) It is said that at this awful moment the officers around him observed such a gloom come over that expressive face of passion that they expected him every moment to yield to some sudden burst of fury and desperation. He had measured himself with Wellington, and, like the too daring Hotspur, his long career of glory had been frustrated in a single field. They even say that he wanted to plunge with his horse amidst the crumbled guard, and perish with his glory. But Bertrand, or Sault— for the truth is attributed to both alternately by different writers—laid hold of the bridle and turning the horse round, exclaimed: "Your majesty must not go there the enemy are already fortunate enough/' Those who say he fled from the field do him injustice they forget the man they are speaking of. When he had seen the bat

tle lost, his army in a tangle of confusion, not a regiment, not a company together— what had he to do bat to return with the, wind to Paris? f* |§o

But before he flees look at him as he takes bis last long look., at the terrible ground! Can it be possible that it is he, Napoleon, the conqueror of kingdoms, the world's hero, greatest of men since Caesar, who has been defeated, crushed, annihilated in one battle? Is he the fugitive? Is that routed army his? What, his? Where are the proud eagles that seemed to live themselves as they gave life to those stalwart grenadiers whose long gray arms lifted them up into the air? What is the drum doing now to inflate the soldier's heart It is torn and silent on the field, so is the arm that used to beat it so gaily. Where are the closed columns that formed a rampart about their leader as he moved along? Where is that solemn, measured tread that shook the earth as ten thousand feet came down upon it in harmony and awe?

Look at the mighty spirit as he contemplates the scene of desolation. Is this the end of so many battles "and campaigns Is this the result of so many vigils, and schemes, and enterprises? Has he wasted along life of action for this? Is it for this he perverted the revolution and bartered the liberties of mankind Oh, it was a terrible fall to soar so high and then to drop down suddenly like a wounded bird shot by the fowler Who shall paint the maddened look of grief and woe as he sits crumpled half upon his charger, whose pride of glory is gone like his master's?— Noble animal! look, look how he stands up in the air paralyzed with shame! for he carries Napoleon and has never learned to flee!

MORE INDIA HORRORS.

At tho risk of harrowing the souls of our readers, we copy from a Paris letter the following, which describes but one amongst scores of similar atrocities now perpetrated upon women and children in India

Ono of the saddest, crudest, or I sho'd say most diabolical incidents of the Indian mutiny has been furnished of a young lady married four years ago at the British Embassy in Paris. Her name was Clement. She was the daughter of a clergyman nearly related to the family of an Irish Earl.— A more beautiful creature when in all the pride of eighteen she stood at the altar, it is not possible to conceive. She married a gallant young Captain of the name of Tower, of the 64th native Infantry of Bengal. Her family, consisting of her mother, sister, and young brother, are now living in the rue Torredos, in Paris. They have just received intelligence that on the 20th of June their interesting relative was sacrificed in the following brutal manner. Her two lovely children, a boy and girl, were massacred joint by joint while living, before her eyes, after she herself had been delivered over successively to the brutal lust of three fiends in human shape.— From the scene of her mutilated children she was carried away and placed in a hot bath, after which a sleeping potion was given her and she was put to bed. The next day she was brought down again into tho presence of some other devils in human guise, six of whom having again gratified their diabolical lust, threw her out cf the window to be scrambled for by the soldiery. In the evening her head was found impaled on an iron stake. The husband has since blown his brains out. I have read the letter recounting these atrocities.

Here is another paragraph from a letter from an English officcr, published in the London journals:

Such horrible, indescribable barbarities were surely never perpetrated before.— You in England will not hear the worst, for the truth is so awful that the newspapers dare not publish it. I will only disgust you with two instances but, alas! there are only too many similar ones. An officer and his wife were tied to trees their children were tortured to death before them, and portions of their flesh crammed down the parents' throats the wife then ravished before her husband, he mutilated in a manner too horrible to relate then both were burnt to death. Two young ladies named were seized at Delhi, stripped naked, tied on a cart, taken to the Bazaar, and there violated. Luckily for them, they soon died from the effects of the brutal treatment they had received.— Can you wonder that, with stories like the foregoing, (and there are plenty such,) wc feel more like fiends than men?

RATHER AN UNDESIRABLE COUNTRY.

The Mormon paper in Utah, tho Descret News, gives the following description of the Territory of Utah. It is not a flattering picture, but wc believe it to be substantially correct:

Utah is broken in every direction by rugged, barren mountains, interspersed with sterile plains and dry valleys, upon which dew is rarely if ever seen, and whose parched surfaces are but occasionally and scantily moistened by welcome rain, while the winter blockading snows are greedily absorbed where and as they melt, or devastatingly rush from the mountain gorges before the tilled soil is available for their application.

The few and widely-scattered localities that will at best but barely admit of occupancy by a people whom the civilization and Christianity of the nineteenth century will admit of living nowhere else, have to be made productive by an immense outlay of labor and expense in constructing dams, ditches, embankments, water-gates, sluices and canals, to divert the puny streams upon crops that would otherwise never mature. And oft, after this vast amount of extra toil, the husbandman and tree-grow-er are compelled to behold, with what fortitude they may, the results of their anxious care wither and die ere maturity, blasting their fond anticipations of healthful sustenance and frequently, what the drought has spared the devourer consumes, for the grasshopper and cricket have proved to be harder to cope with than the inexperienced have ever imagined.

The scant amount of fuel and timber, which is mostly brittle, small and knotty, is almost invariably confined to the narrow canons and high, steep slopes of the mountains, far— if not always in distance at least in difficulty of access—from the few places where settlements can be made, and the best of it generally so located as to be pronounced inaccessible by many of even the most experienced Bettlers, and to procure a scanty and dear supply of which, roads have to be laid out with much judgment and made and kept in repair at great expense.

BEECHER OS BANKS.

Parson Beeelter preached, on Sunday in the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. Instead of telling the people to look to Kansas and send rifles there, he told tlfem to look to home, to be honest, and to force others to bo honest. A great change in the doctrines of Beecher! After, preabhing up the solvency and solidity of tho New York banks, he said:

There was cause for fear in the lack of moral integrity and in the extravagance and profligacy which prevailed in the business world. The railroads—'the greatest enterprises of the country—permitted their Board of Directors to conduct affairs in the most unscrupulous manner, and in their corporate capacity they performed acts which would, if done by an individual, be criminal. Indeed, "it would soon come to pass that the name of an officer of arailroad company would be synonymous with 'scoundrel.'" The stock sales, as conducted in Wall street, he characterized as gambling, just as much as sitting at a faro table or playing with loaded dice, and a man that was a gambler was a thief. This vice was prevalent among all classes of the community. Even ministers sometimes dabbled in fancy stocks. Mr. Beecher then urged upon his congregation the duty of opposing these vices.

AN AUSTRIAN VIEW OF. ENGLAND'S MILITARY SPIRIT.

The following is extracted from an article in the OesterreichiscJie Zeitung: Theory of vengeance, which was raised in England as soon as tho cruelties committed by the Indian mutineers became known, was but natural. Women and children can cry for vengeance, but men can do more. It is a remarkable fact that nat one band of volunteers has yet offered to proceed to the seat of war. The universities, the public schools, the factories, the cottages of the peasants, have not sent forth one man with his gun or sword in his hand. In any other country thousands would have been carried away by their feelings, and offered their services at such a highly critical moment. When the United States were at war with Mexico, ten times as many volunteers presented themselves as could be accepted. Not only young men belonging to the first and richest families, but even gray-headed fathers of families hurried to the scene of action and served in the ranks. The taste for deeds of arms is almost extinct in the European branch of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is only for lucrative appointments that there is a superabundance of applicants.— The lower classes, when enlisted and paid, do what they are bid but when the times are prosperous and wages high, recruits are not to be found. In fact, tho English army has almost become a myth.

HARD TIMES.—The

New York Tribune

has the following: "Wc learn that from all quarters of the country mechanics are thronging to New York in search of employment. This is folly, for which they are likely to suffer.— Business of every sort is stagnant here, as it is everywhere else. Manufactories and workshops are either closed or more than supplied with hands already. There is not] a job to be done which has not already at hand twice the number of workmen required to complete it. Keep away from the city, then! Stay where you are known and where you can struggle through the impending want cf winter with at least some friends and acquaintances to help you, or give you an occasional cheering word.— Don't come here to swell the vast army of idleness and suffering which., three months hence, will appeal to the citizens of New York for charity."

THE PRESIDENT AT HOME—AN INCIDENT

—On Saturday morning last (says the Philadelphia Press) the court room at Lancaster was unusually crowded as an important jury trial was going on. In the midst of their proceedings, James Buchanan, the President of the United States, quietly, and alone walked into the court—that very court before which he earned his early reputation and in which he practiced for nearly forty years.

As soon as he was recognised, the judges on their seats, the lawyers, the jury, witnesses, spectators, and all rose as if actuated by one common feeling, and stood uncovered to welcome their old friend and fellow citizen. The President kindly saluted those about him, and, after shaking hands with the judges, retired, apologizing for having interrupted their proceedings.

SUSPENSION OF MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS.—We

continue to receive advi

ces of the stoppage of many of tho principal manufacturing establishments throughout the country. We have already published a list of somo score or so from New England, and a number in Philadelphia. Today we learn that the very extensive cotton mills of Walcott and Campbell (known as the "New York Mills,") in Oneida county, N. Y., have suspended—that three extensive cotton factories in Georgia have also recently suspended—and that in NewYork city there are some suspensions and considerable reductions in manufacturing establishments. Thousands of persons will be thrown out of employment as the result of the financial difficulties,—those, too whose own support, with that of their families, was derived entirely from the wages of their daily labor. The coining Yv inter seems likely to be one of extreme suffering for the laboring poor.

THE POORER CLASSES SUFFER.—Thcrs

is a good deal of difficulty at Baltimore amongst the poorer classcs and small dealers in obtaining change. Gold is now selling in that city at 5 to 6 per cent premium, which forces it into market to a saleable commodity, and hence its legitimate use as a matter of convenience is partially lost.— American silver, being intrinsically and wisely depreciated by Government, to the extent of 7 per cent., is unsaleable.

WORD TO THE HOLDERS OF

BANK-

BILLS.

In a time like this great losses on bankbills are submitted to, especially by laborerrand the smaller shop-keepers, who, in a moment of alarm, having little to lose, rush to the broker's office with their bills and sell at whatever discount he pleases to charge. They take it for granted that what the broker says is all true that he is a disinterested man, who makes it his business to watch the banks for the purpose of guarding the poor from loss, and seeing that they suffer as little as possible when bills are discredited. They do not think that it is the interest of the broker to cry down bills for the sake of buying them up, and that men in this way are making rapid fortunesoutof the misfortunes of the ignorant. Twenty times the money is lost by the shop-keeper and laborer, by this very discount on bank-bills, that is lost by Counterfeits. The greater part of what the broker deducts goes into his own pocket. He gets very nearly or quite par from the bank, and smiles at the credulity of his victims. —New York Evening Past.

85?*A negro woman in Rockingham Co. Virginia, lately gave birth to a child, which was of a sable hue from the loins downwards, the upper part of his body being of a clear white complexion. The physicians are unable to account for this queer freak of nature.—Galena Courier

As the black republican leaders have done little else than study negro-ology for the past few years, the probability is that they can tell all about it.—Daily National Flag.

The above baby is liko black republican principles—about as much black aa white.

RACE BETWEEN FLORA TEMPLE AND LANCET.—A trot between these celebrated racers took place at the National Horse Show at Springfield, Mass., on Saturday. Flora was in harness and Lancet under the saddle. Flora had the pole, and won in three straight heats. Time, 2:89^-, 2:32 and 2:32. Lancet was hardly a length behind either time. There were 80,000 or 100,-

000 people presonc.

"OLD PUT"—On one occasion during the Revolution "Old Put" had received a lot of new recruits, and as he had somo fighting which ho wished to do before long, and wanted none but willing men he drew his levies in rank before him. "Now, boys," said he, "I do not wish to retain any of you who wish to leave therefore if any of you arc dissatisfied and wish to return home, you may signify the same by stepping six paces to the front of tho line. But," added the old war dog "I'll shoot the first man that steps out."

TIIE OCEAN TELEGRAPH.—All hope that a second experiment would be made to lay down the submarine cable, this season, has been abandoned. According to the adviccs brought by the Arabia, it was determined to unload the cable from both the Niagara and the Agamemnon, and to store it in the Government dockyard, at Plymouth, England.

The next attempt to lay the cable will be made next Spring, as early as the weather will permit, and it is generally believed that success will be certain the second time.

WHERE IT WENT.—TheLondon Times declares May, June, and August to have been the hottest months evrr experienced in England. If wo did nt get :r average of summer heat this uide oi the gio o, it was because the other side robbed us ot it, and got more than its fair share.
