EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Notes by the Way. New Ricii.h >ni>. ()., Sept. 10, 'SB. Deal' Gazette: After an absentee of some two weeks.-1 feel called upon tot-peak once more to your numerous re i'ers:On my way to this place, I stopped one day in Indianapolis, putting up with .Hr. j Carmichael, the accommodating and polite landlord of the Fulmer House. Mr. Carmichael is well known to some of the-citizens of the “State of Jasper,” and I take pleasure in informing them that he keeps ajtip-top "hotel, and appears to he well Jaythe traveling public. His Cleijy, llary E. Adams, is, in common parlance', a ‘.‘perfect brick,” and spares no pains to mike the .guest,s comfortable. I would recommend all persons from Jasper, stopping in Indianapolis, to “put up” at tho Palmer House. As this was my first, visit to Indianapolis, T strolled about the city with considerable interest, to see how the citizens of.lhe Capitol of our State did up matters and things in general. The city is a very pleasant iti- ! land place, dotted throughout with shadetrees, many of them the original forest-trees, under which the Indians! oiice strode in the majesty of tiieir native wilds. The State House, especially, is built in a very beautiful ground of natural forest-trees, left standing to grace and embellish the city. The Court House square is another beautiful locality, covered with trees set out by the I hand of the white man. The Governor’s Circle would make another beautiful retreat and promenade, were it not sadly out of repair. The gates were down, and the trees, appeared to be in need of tiic cure of the gurdner. 1 paid a visit in the.evening to the .'McLean Seminary, in company with Mr. Slew- | art, of the firm of Stewart Bowen, booksellers and publishers. We found’only the Principal, C. G. McLean, D. I)., and one of his accomplished daughters, at home, it. then being vacation. Dr. McLean took us through the Seminary', and showed us the j various‘modern improvements in tlie building, together with the philosophical, chemical and astronomical apparatus connected with the Seminary. Among other things, we noticed a large telescope. The scliool- ] room is large and comfortable; the sleeping ] apartments are neetly and conveniently fu and the whole house is thorough- j ly and amply ventilated. In short, the in- i .■yptution is an honor to ohr State; and it is ! tjfbe hoped that it will ever receive.the liberal support it. now enjoys. Before leaving the city, I called on brother Sulgrove, of the Journal, and learned from him that there were encouraging hopes that Porter (Republican) .would heat Ray (Le- j compton Democrat) in that Congressional District, although tho Democrats carried it two years ago by nearly one thousand mu- 1 jority. In fact, the reports from all parts of the State are most cheering. Hovey, Auti--1 Lecompton Democrat in the First District, and Davis, Anti-Leeompton Democrat in the Seventh, will undoubtedly ho elected; 1 while Hughes will he defeated in the Third, | and 110 l 1 man in the Fourth; and every district which elected Republicans two years ago will undoubtedly do so again this'year, making a gain of four opposition Congrosa-

] wen from Indiana in two years. Our muchabused State will nobly redeem herself on ;thc second Tuesday in October, j . Alter leaving Indianapolis, I went to Cinj cinnati and staid three or four days among old friends, putting up at the (Madison House, where I found formerly a brother of the quill, officiating as one of the laiKflords. The Madison House ia a most excel- , lent hotel, and is centrally located, in regard to business; thus making it convenient for persons to stop at who go to the city on- , business. *>peaking of business, reminds me that 1 i all tell me bore that times have been verv~ hard for some rooffths; but now trade is looking up. Ihe fall and r\ inter orders art* now ; commencing to, come in from the country, and the wholesale dealers are having quite a brisk time of it. _ Although the County Fair and the {inrural ] exhibition of the Ohio (Mechanics’ lisstitiiite were in full blast, vet [ could scarcely hear anything talked of but politics. The Deiiio-r j criats held their Congressional and County ] Convention last week, and had . quite- a i stormy time of it in making their county nominations. Mr. W. Myers, a Jew, who on account of his small stature and fierv, red face, is called -Little Red,” was the most prominent candidate for Sheriff; hut, on; account of his nationality, was defeated i in Convention, and now many of his Israelite j friends swear by the heard of Moses that I they will not submit to such insult, hut will holt the Democratic ticket. Tiiev cast about two'tliousami votes in the county, and have always heretofore voted with the Democrats. _ The opposition will hold conventions next Tuesday, and if a good ticket is nominated it will undoubtedly sijceeed. If is now thought that tlieovliole opposition will unite on one ticket; .and if they do, the over-wheltmug-dofeat of tire Lecompton Democracy will inevitably he tile result. The opposition are now very sanguine of success. The D omocrats oi this county , composing the First and Second Congressional Districts, have re-nominated Groesheck -and Pendleton for Congress. Tiiev both voted fur the Greeii-Eiiglish swindle, and tiiev Kith stand a chance of being -permitted to. remain at Home for the balance o! their lives Pregret ted to see by the last.number o' the Gazette, which T have received that Judge Robinson lias been compelled to withdraw from the canvass for the Legislature, i n account. rif the doubt as to his eligibility to hold Ihe office. This is indeed unfortunate, for the Judge is a strong man. and would undoubted ly have b-cn elected; hut if the Convention which met at your place yesterday put in; nomination a strong and honest man, (and of course it is not expected? that Republicans would put in any other kind,) David Snyder will he beaten so badly that he will- never ruin again for office in Jasper Cininty. It is my candid opinion that the Democracy are Uest’ned to he beaten this year in localifies’where they were never beaten before, so great is the disgust off the people all over the couiUry to the present Administration, detected in so manv hiehhandojd outrages to defraud the people of their rights. “Better day coming.” D.
