BxxFThe heat in Cincinnati for the past few days has been terrible. Seventeen persons were sun struck on Tuesday, three of w horn died. ISy-It is confidently stated that the Republicans of Pike county will elect their candidate for Representative, and give Judge DeRruler a majority for Congress. JaiF"The evideuce is multiplying that the DcMtgiaa, as well as the Breckinridge, part is a Disunion party that is, that it considers Lincoln's election although strictly legal good cause for dissolution. Wo nsk our readers to bear this in mind. All persons whose duties require them to be exposed to the sun s rays dUTiag such excessive hot weather as the present, should wear a handkerchief, or a wad of cotton saturated in water, in the crown of j the hat. This is a simple and sure prevent ative of sun-stroke. 8fcSfWe are informed that on Monday, July 3o, the day Judge Oeliruler was to have spoken at Princetou, but was prevented kg sickness the largest crowd assembled ! hear the speech that ever was called to- : gether in Uibsou county on a political occasion. The Judge is doing excellent set- ! vice this summer in the good cause. Judge L. u- DcBraaler. Independent Candidate for Congress in ! tue r irst District, will address Ins I .citizens at. the following times and p How ices. on political matters: Vincennes, Monday, August 13. Kdwardsport, Thursday, August 10. Nashville, Friday, August 17. WtBla Hon. W. .McdC. Dunn's speech (that portion published yesterday ), there oc- j currcd this expression : " The welfare, of our country demands that this party shall I progress with moderation and force, and it will, to ultimate success.'' By a typographical error, the words uol j li; were omitted. The extract should read, "with moderation and not by force. " Read the entertaining and instru. Iive sketcli entitled ''Senator Hamlin as u Farmer." It is a sufficient answer to thiEttquirer' s demagoguical epithets, applied to the Republican party, of "standing collar ' and "fine linen '' party. The Republican party presents two self-cultivated, hard- ; workiug men as its candidates, who rep- : resent in their origin, self-education, and re- i liant manhood the true type of the independent, free, and intelligent American cxti- ' zen the pride of this country and the ad- ! miration of the world. tcf The Enquir,r wants the Wide Awakes to turn out and do honor to JudgEckles, Breckinridge elector, who will be j here in a few days to speak. The Wide i I Awakes have "pretty much quit v escort- I ing Democrats of either wing. They can j find plenty of better business. About that ! time they will have the pleasure ot doing honor to two of nature's real noblemen Hon. Carl Shurz and Will. Curnbnek men deroted to the interests of free white mm, : and not to those of a few slaveholders and their darkeys. fiisSTA few years ago the Douglas men wereabusing the Know Nothings as if they were pickpockets. Last winter they voted almost in a body, In the House of Representatives, for Smith of North Carolina, Know Nothing, or Speaker. In the late North Carolina election they supported Poolt K. N. candidate for Governor, and in Kentucky they voted, en the recommendation of their organs, the Cincinnati Enquir r and Louisville Democrat, almost en masse for Combs, American, for Clerk. In Georgia they have made a corrupt coalition with that party, and in New York they are trying to do the same thing. The Donglasites I are in a desperate strait.

Immense Republican Mail fleeting. The Republicans ot Illinois held an immense mass meeting; at Springfield, the .Lome of Abe Lincoln, on (he t?lli tost. TLe crowd in attendance is estimated at from 40,000 to 70,000 in numlier. It is said to have doubled or quadrupled the Douglas demonstration of a few days ago. Two hundred and four Railroad cars filled with people went iuto Springfield, besides innumetable wagons, averaging six persons each. At ; the Douglas demonstration thcte were only thirty-eight cars. The enthusiasm at the Lincoln rally was unbounded. On the vening of the 7th an immense wigwam was dedicated. There were speeches by Senator Trumbull, N. B. Jud.l, and others. When the procession w as formed, on the morning of the 8tft, it marched past Mr. Lincoln's house Mr. Lincoln stood on the steps, bowing to the throng and flaking hands with his friends. The procession numbered 0,000 persons, and was four hours i passing Mr. Lincoln s house. Mr. Lincoln was induced agaiu-t his will to go to the place of speaking and address . 1 he multitude, which he did amidst great enthusiasm. His speech was modest, and i devoted to the cause lather than himself. : Mr. Lincoln's ilemeunor on the occasion is hig-hly poken of. The Wide Awakes were on hand in immense number4, and made a resplendent show. This demonstration was probably never excelled, unless by the great Tippecanoe celebration of 1840. It indicates an up-' rising for Old Abe equal to that for Old Tippecanoe: We Ix-lieve Lincoln's triumph will be a; decisive as Harrison s. Bf,Our demagoguical neighbors of the Squatter orguii are stiil harping in real ! Douglas stjle about the Democracy being i

the "checked shirt party,'' and the Repnbliteral the "standing collar party." This kind of talk is simply despicable. No party embraces within its ranks more intelligent hard worhinj men than the Republican. In fact it is the party of hnrd working white men tun tided and kept up to protect and sustaiu their interests. Let any person attend our meetings aud look at the crowd. It will be found to be composed mainly of j the hard workers and thinkers of the neighborhood. Its members all nu.ke an honest living for themselves, and in their political action they do their own thih ';ny. They read for themselves and thus gather I tacts, and upon them predicate their poiiliml action. They are not led by the nose by a ' Court House Clique," or nny other jantti of corrupt and selfish politicians. Herein is the difference between RepabtiCans and modern Democrats. The former are the independent men of the country ; the latter the blind dupes of designing ! leaders. gtj-" The Journal says we are making fifty cents per day o'f of our readers by , leaving a part of a column of matter standing In our paper. It we maRe fifty centper day off our readers in this way, how much do you make off of your readers by leaving that celebrated article in your col- ; timtts showing that Thomas A. Hendricks I voted for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise ? We have not taken the pains to made the calculation for you, as you have j for us. It may bo of interest, bvvcrer, to ' some of your readers. Enquirer-. Neighbor, that is a poor dodge. Our littie item about Hendricks is true, a.', i you do not nor cannot deny it. Being true, it ought to be kept lefore the pcopli , SO they ; will know what manner of man is asking their votes for the Inventorship. As to the amount of type (or " composition ") in it, that is a mere trifle compared j with your three-quarters of a column of' falsehood. The article headed " Abe Lin- . coin, the 'Honest Man," we have proven j shamefully garbled and tuijnst. The " Bad and Dangerous Tenets," Sec, is on n par for truth and decency with ihose transparencies carried last Saturday night. fies The cock and bull stories of the burning of towns and dwellings in Northern Texas bv abolitionists, one of which has been published by the Enquirer, have been proven to be gotten Bp for effect to act on the Presidential election in lavor of the Democracy. It is not likely that abolitionists ; ever get that far South. They might as well go iuto ;I the jaws of hell," as to attempt such a scheme. We suppose the truth is, that the negroes have been told by their masters, as they were in IS.'o when there was such a panic in the South, that the Black Republicans were all abolitionists and meant to free ail the niggers, and tha: the simple-minded people have believed it, I and have gone to belpiug on the work. If the slaveholders w ish to feel safe, let them quit lying about the Republicans, and their niggers will be contented. gf" There is no longer any doubt of Combs's election in Kentucky as Clerk of , the Court of Appeals, by a large majority. Our cotemporary, the Louisville Journal, gives a grand hallelujah over this victory, as it has good reasou to do. The Louisville Democrat (Douglas Democratic paper ) is ! also tn high glee over Combs's victory and the defeat of the Breckinridgers. New York. The Breckinridgers in New York State have hell their convention, adopted resolutions equally opposed to Lincoln and Dougliis, and have nominated a full ! State ticket, with James T. Brady on it for Governor. Gideon J. Tucker and Henry S. j Randall are their electors at large.

The Bell and Everett men of Maine,

have nominated Hon. PLiueas Barnes for Governor. E:gCT, Rollins, Opposition candidate for Congress in the Second Missouri District, is probably elected. ga. Gov. Wright, United States Minister to Berlin, gave an entertainment on the evening of the 4th of July to about fifty Americans, including the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop ot Boston, James Kuox of Illinois, and representatives of almost every State of the Union. St. Lot" is Ei.ectios. It is now definitely ascertained that Frank Blair is elected for the long term (next Congress) by a majority of near 1,400. Barrett, the Democratic candidate, is elected for the short term (remainder of the present Congress) by a majority of about 135. Two hundred and seven Blair votes were thrown out, because they did not specify the term for which they were voted; but as the- are all registered and numbered, there win be a contest, and the persons who de-po-iled them will be brought before the Court to testify for which term they were cast. So tt is probable that Mr. Blair will pet his seat for the short term. Tne reason that Barrett got such a large vote for the short term, is because 2,400 I'nion men voted for him, while only 900 voted for Blair. Many of them are now sorry for voting for Barrett. Their organ, the Jfema, " blows them up" savagely for their foolish action. Considering that most of the Republicans of St. Louis voted for Orr, I'nion candidate for Governor, the large Union vote for Barrett was in very bad faith. So says the Ifetcs. A (inns Outrage on Free Speech. Mr. Gcioo Ii.oes, a respectable and talented German Republican of Vincennes, recently went into Dubois county, as we learn from the Vincennes Gazette, to make Republican speeches. But Locofocoism could not brook the truth, and in accordance with its tyrannical instincts, endeavored to prevent him by force from speaking. Here is his own account of his adventures. Rend and cousider to what a desperate pass matters are coming : But unlike these people (the Germans of Pike county) I found mo3t of the citizens of Hnntingbnrgb, a small town of Dubois county the pride of the Democratic party in that region. Shortly after my arrival in that place on Thursday last, where 1 had been previously annouueed to speak, I was asked by au individual whether I was a Democrat. Upon denying this, I was advised by this kind soul to leave the place without delay ; that he and the balance of the Democrats of that place would not permit any such great outrage as a Republican speech to be perpetrated there thtt they had run off Republican speakers in former days and they were determined to do so again, dlhersthan came arid threatened lo put a ball throw h me, to blacken my eye, to knock me tlown, lo ride vie on a rail, run me off, yc. And what for ? If I dare to advocate any but Democratic principle there I The only reasou why those Democratic supporters of the constitution of the United Slates did not carry out their Democratic intentions was because your humble servant would not submit to them. On the same evening I addressed this dear people for over two hours, and though continually interrupted and insulted. I carried out my purpose and had the satisfaction to gain some warm friends amongst the citizens of Huntingbnroh, both for myself and for the Republican cause, and to make some of the I.ooo.'oens lee! ashamed of their cowardly conduct. I can give the names of the parties to .ny disbeliever in the above stated facts. I prescribe to my Republican friends, vbo hereafter are insulted and treated thus, a Colt's six shooter as a proper remedy to be applied at the proper time against those miscreants who are opposed to free speech and endeavor to break down the noblest principles of our glorious country. The remedy will effect a certain cure. Before the election I shall visit that part of the first District again and add my little mite to the support of the Republican cause. Our reward is ' Lincoln and Victory. ' The Washington Star, a Breckinridge paper, says: " N'ot a tithe of the disposition to bteak up the I'nion now exists in the slaveholding States that was rife there at the time of John Brown's raid; nor does any other pofalie man of the South, except Mr. Keitt. openly counsel the destruction of the Government if Mr. Lincoln triumphs. The position they occupy on that subject, with remarkable unanimity, indeed, is that, if elected, and his Government shall initiate unconstitutional and aggressive measures against the South, it will be her duty to resist them at all hazards and at any cost." OH Line Guard. Beau it in mind that Dave Turpie, the Douglas Democratic candidate for Lieut, (iovernor. voted against the "Embezzlement Bill " iu the Legislature. It was a bill to puuish with confinement in the Slate prison persons guilty of stealing, hiding or using bonds or securities deposited with the State. The same bill that Willard vetoed to save his political friends, and to prevent the people from being protected from public thieves. 2V. A.. Tribune. Who aue the Discsioxists? The Douglas papers are continually charging that the Breckinridge and Lane party are disuuionists. The charge is false. On the other hand, we have good authority to state that one of the leading men of the Douglas party in Indiana, occupying a high judicial position, declared that the election of L:ncon yould be a suftieimt cause for a dissolution of the Union! Old Line Guard. New Post Office. We are pleased to learn that a Post Office has been established at Richland, in Palmyra township. The office is called -'Elm," and will accommodate a thickly settled neighborhood that has been compelled to receive its mail matter heretofore at Vincennes. Yin. Ga.

Scuator Hamlin as u I'armir. The following plena! ng sketch of Semfftr Hamlin in his home life, was piilFished in the St. Louis Democrat, in Octobfe'rj It will be read with peculiar interest at the present time when there is a strong probability that the substantial farmer and the talented statesman will soon be called to till the second office in the gift of the people of

the United States : I One of the first men in this nation is ; Senator Hamlin of Maine. We do not mean that he hns those gifts of brilliancy which attract upon the instant, nor those demonstrative qualities ot a contentious spirit, which make men the idol of excited ' crowds; but that in calmness and manliness. I in solidity of character, in truth ot specLiL.. ! in firmness of resolve, he has few equals j among the distinguished statesmen of the ' day. From the time of Jackson till now : he has maintained the rigid inflexibility of ' his faith, careless of party defectum; pqd neglectful of party rewards, yet with the courage to lead on in critical junctures, or to stand aloof and alone when factions become demoralized with victory. Taught early that Democracy meant freedom and not slavery, he has never swerved from that teaching; but in all his relations has ever allied himself with the raidical element in ; politics which represents both control by : the people and liberty to the individual. In his domestic life he is above reproach, and of singular simplicity of habit, going from the Senate chain her to the harvest I field, or from the toils of a small farm to the care of a great Siate, with the ease, dignity and cheerfulness that mark the man i devoted to duty before pleasure, and coni scious of acting his true pan in life. f I late we have seen going the rounds of the i partisan press a series of letters from Washington, telling how grandly and gorgeously ; some of our wealthy representatives have entertained the diplomatists and strangt i at the federal capital, and dealing in what I we must believe to be very exaggerated acI counts of their munificence. To rival the : White House in splendor is now the highest ambition of many there ; and when we recall ! the plunder of the public treasury in which , they have participated, the only wonder is i that they succeed so poorly. It is in con- ! trast with such w ith the Donglases,Gwins, j and Brights, w ho ape the poor pretension of I aristocratic ways that we wisli to present a picture of this truly Republican Se nator , as seen in his own home. The sketch is 1 from a private letter not designed for pub- j lication ; but it has such a genial glow about 1 it, and altogether shows so line a type of tbo American civilian, thai we are sure wc I shall be pardoned for giving ii to the pub- ' lie. It is as follows : "Having had business to call me to this city, I thought I would ride down the river to Hampden, (about live miles. I and purchase a cargo of tanning fur a customer, a Quaker,) and at the same time call upon my old friend, Hamlin. After knocking at his plain and comfortable residence, a fine look- ' ing specimen of a farmer s daughter came to the door ; and said I, Is Senator Hamlin at home ? ' The answer was, 'He is: but not in the house at this time.' Yankee fashion, said 1, 'Where is he ? ' 'Down in the field,' was the reply. 'Show me the way,' said I No sooner said than done, and there I found our distinguished frieud at work. Himself aud son, a line looking young man, were gathering nutnpkins. You no doubt have often heard of Yankee pumpkin pies, and doubtless eatec them, too. These were grown aniidit a field of corn, which, we are BOTty to say, is rather light this year, in Maine especially. He has no other help, and with a tine little farm of only ten acres of tillage land, he told me he yearly raised mortal, an sufficient lor all his uses, and for ten years had always had corn left over, to sell from ten lo twenty bushels ; but this year he thought J he should not. He had his family horse (a good one) in a common farm wagon, ium drawing the last load of pumpkins. All i his harvesting is done, except the corn. He had a lame back that day from the effects of carrying his wheat up stairs to his granary ; it wa3 all cleaned up, and looked finely, i He had his ground plowed and subsuilcd, logether with a large manure heap, in good ! shape made from the waste earth and muck. ! some other additions, with a few casks of i and lime added. He has his cranberry bed.arid all the small fixings, sn- h as good poultry yard, fine hogs, &c, whilst for dinner, every article upon the table was grown upon this snug little farm. And, to add to the pleasare, the good lady, Mrs. Hamlin, had josl given birth to a beautiful boy, and the mother Was doing well. His eldest son is reading law at home with his father, 'alter the work is done,' and the daughter looks iti iei the home concerns with ease aud grace. "I write you this for your ow n gratification, to show you what onr .'ew England small farm people can do to make life-go smooth, and not detract from the chances oi others in doin; the same. This, doubtless, would not compare with some of your Western farms, but I know you will not think the less of it and its owner for all UmtJ' The Republican ticket might truly Be called the " Workinrrm.m's ticke." Both the candidates have been inured to manual labor, and can sympathize with the workman in his wants and aspirations. Remem- ! hering their own hard toil, they would not fail to foster the interests of labor whenever opportunity offered. A Sad and Fatal AcotDExf. Tt is our melancholy duty to announce the sudden death of Wm. Earl Collins, son of Thomas H. Collins, of this vicinity, by a kick from :i horse. A member of the family having been taken suddenly ill, it became necessary to send for a physician. Young Collins was placing a saddle on the animal, for the purpose of performing the errand, when approaching too near the heels of the horse, he was kicked in the abdomen. The accident occured on Sunday evening : he lingered until Monday evening about o o'clock, at which time be died, from the effect of the injury. lie was a youth possessed of excellent qualities, a favorite with his companions, and highly esteemed by all who k;;evr him. We have no words to express the deep sympathy we feel, for the bereaved family, in their saddest affliction. .V. A. Tnh. To prevent the constantly recurring cas of poisoning by mistake, it has been suggested that arsenic and other poisons be put up by druggists in red paper, and marked with the skull and crossbones. as is doue in some parts of Europe, aud thai iu fluid poisons the same symbols should he put on the bottle. This the most illiterate could understand.

The Prince of Wales landed at Hantsport, early yesterday morning, and left immediately for Windsor, where he was received with the usual enthusiasm. His party then embarked on a special Railroad train for Truro, at which place, about 78 miles distant, they arrived in about 1 honrs.

We find in the Belfast Northern Whiy, received by the 4i7, the following paragraphs relating to the Irish potato crop : Templemore, July 0, The Potato Crop. I am sorry to inform you that the potato blight has appeared in several places in Ibis neighborhood, nrinci- ! pally in low lying land. As yet the symptoms ere uot very bad, butif this close, dark weather continues, the visitation at this early season, on a crop already by no means flourishing, will be fearful to think of. From what I can learn the spots have never been seen at so early a period of the year. Last reason they were not visible until the j close of the mouth of August, and yet there was a deficient crop. Daily Eiyress. 1 'i be Potato. We regret to have to say that further accounts from different districts of this county, have forced us to believe thai the blight has again appeared this year. The smell emitted from some potato fields is most unpleasant ; in others the h aves show unmistakably the evidence of blight, and we greatly fear that the effect of the present warm weather on the preceding rank vegetation will produce deplorable effects on this crop Waterford Mail, July 12. Spcriols Gold Cois. A New York paper says : The public are again warned from the sub-Treasury office and the city banks against the ingenious and very dangerous counterfeits of ten dollar gold pieces, which are circulated extensively aud almost defy detection, except by an expert. The genuine coin is opened, full one-half the gold taken out, aud then filled in with platina or some other equally heavy substance, and then closed up, the coin itself to all appearances, remaining the same in nil respects, even to the specific weight. The New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday afternoon farther remarks : Wo have seen specimens of this spurious coin at the sub-Treasury and Chemical Bank, w hich would seem to defy detection by ordinary skill or even the closest observation and handling, and yet the amount of pure gold left in a ten dollar piece eeareeiy equals $4 50. Royat, Favor and its Appreciation Some of the journals state that the Prince of Wales is the fir.-t heir apparent to the throne of England who has ever visited the United States: but this is a mistake. Doubtless some readers are familiar with an j anecdote of William IV, before he came to ; bis estate, to the following effect : While iu New York, the Prince called at a barber's shop to be shaved. When the operation was completed, he stepped up to j the barber's pretty w ife, who chanced to be present, and giving her a kiss, remarked : ! " there, now, you can say you have been kisaed by one of the Royal Family." The barber choosing to receive this as an insult, seized the Prince, and helping him out of the shop with his foot, exclaimed, There now, you can say that you have received a royal kick from a freeman." Hon. W. B. G.vulden, Georgia, on the St i mp. Hon. W. B. Gaulden, of Georgia, publishes a card in the Savannah Republican announcing bis intention of doing all be can for Mr. Douglns by stumping the State industriously. Atlas and Aryus. This Mr. Gaulden is the famous advocate of the African slave trade, and of the direct importation of negroe3 from Africa, to supply our Southern plantations. He boasts, we believe, of having some of the genuine African stock on his own premises. Would it not be well tbr the Douglas caen to send for Mr. Gaulden to stump this State for their candidate, whose election he earnestly advocates? They charge Mr. Breckinridge with being a disunionist, because Mr. Yancey supports him, and it would be only common justice to show the Northern supporters of Douglas a lire specimen of his Southern friends. Old Line Guard. Theui: is talk of a Breckinridge Democratic candidate for Congress in this District. Dr. B. F. Mullen. U. C. Hibben, and Hon. A. R. McCleary, are spoken of in connection with the office. K. Sun Visitor.
