Let us see what the relative strength of the several cundnUte? is, looking at tilings as they are, not as we might wish them tube, and waing all objection to any one, lor the s.ike of comparing political prospects. We begin with Judge White.

It will requite 1 do to elect. Suppose we should give hint Ohio 21, Louisiana 5, and North Carolina 15, making 41 more, he will have lii7, and will still w ant 1!J votes. The chance of getting these, is in Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Khode Island, and Connecticut. How much that chance si worih, after making good in his favor, the 4 1 votes of Ohio , Louisiana, und North Carolina, we leave ior others to deter mine.

It we should allow him Khode Island, Connecticut, hiuI Louisiana, (Connecticut at least very doubtlul.) it will increase his vote to 77. Throw in the 'J 1 votes ot Ohio, and he will still be minus 17 votes, with no earthly prospect of obtaining a single one of them. Supposing Gen. Harrison to oppose Mr. y,, j;ren singly, and that Judge While's friends co-opeiate heartily in his favor, s wc have supposed, on the other hand, that Gen- Harrison's friends would co-op crate wit!" thosc Gf Judge White in his favor nnd he would obtain the following stales: Ohio 21, Indiana 9, Illinois 5, Ken c kv "l ; ,5 I tuckv lo, ienneee lo, lississippi Louisiana 5, Alabama 7, South Carolina , , arvan(1 10 I)eHWare 3.Masachu setts 14, Vermont 7, making I2tJ. Add to this the 23 votes of Virginia , which he i as likely to get as Judge White is the 15 votes of North Carolina, and he will have 149; or in place of it, give hirn the 15 votes of North Carolina, and he will have 1 11 wanting but 4 more to elect him, with the chance of gelling them in Pennsylvania, Khode Island, and Connecticut.

lormed below Jellersonville, it proceeded with great rapidity through that place, doing considerable injury to several perrons ihom it either swept fclong in it course or dashed to the earth. Several houses also were materially damaged by it. It passed on through the town to the river. When it came in contact with thp water, it received ao immense body of that element into its tremendous whirl, and conveyed it into the heatens. The volume of water passing upwards was at times some 25 or 30 feet in circumference and extended upwards some hundreds of feet. Having passed over to the Kentucky side cf the river and sported there awhile, it returned to the water, eoon after which it dispersed or subsided. The time of its duration was something like 5 or 7 minutes. .Vew Albany Gazttte.
