Oa the 16th of August, when off Newfoundland, a tremendous northeast gale was encountered, and sail was shortened. It was feared the boat would swamp or capsize, and Captain Goldsmith stood, knife In hand, ready to cut away the halliards. In consequence of the boat shipping heavy seas Captain Goldsmith finally lay to, with two drags over her bows, and tried to take some rest.

A dispatch from Calcutta sayB that from the imperfeot Information ottal nable, there seems to be good rea on to favor the view that the disaffection has not spread all over Afghanistan, but that the affair is merely a local eraeute, which will speedily disappear when the British troops arrive at Cabul. The Government apparently does not doubt the fidelity of tbe ameer. Badihah Khan's adhesion to the British cause is valuaole as to removing what might have been a serious obitacle to an advance from Kuram to Cabul. The fact that the Insurgents did not wait until the winter snows bad blocked the passes, oreven until tbe British had evacuated Candanar seems to indicate that the rising was wholly unpremeditated. The Hoorura oolann, which will be the first to move on Cabul, is in excellent condition, not having Buffered from cholera. It consists of the Second battalion of the Eighth regiment. Sixtyseventh regiment, the Seventy-secmd and Ninety-second Highlanders, two mountain and two field batteries, one battery of hore artillery, three regiments or native infantry and one regiment of pioneers.

WHAT BLAINE THINKS ABOUT THB ELECTION. Augubta, Me., Sept. 8, Midnight. Senator Blaine has lust sent the followina dlsnatch to Senator Allison, of Iowa: Hon. Wm.B. Allison, Dubuque, la.: The result of to-day's election mav be briefly summed thus: We have carried a large majority of tbe House or Representatives, and a majority of the Senate apparently. We have given our candidate for governor a plurality of mo-e than 20,000 votes over tbe Greenback candidate, and 40100 over the Democratic candidate. Whether we have given him an absolute majority over both will only be determined by farther returns, and possibly by tne official count. On joint ballot in the Legislature we shall have a large majority, thus controlling the executive council and the selection of all State officers. Tbe majority against last year was over 13,000; equlvllent to 60.000 majority in Illinois; to 80,000 In Pennsylvania, or 100,00 in New Yor. To overcome this enormous majority in an oft year, with no general election pending, was, of course, a difficult task, and our Republicans feel they have made a splendid fight with mo2t gratifying results.
