LETTER FROM COXSF.nSVILt.K.

RAIL-ROADS.

will be generally remembered, that the public car in Cincinnati was stunned outlie morning of the 27 th June last by the' alarming intelligence that the Superintendent of the Marino Hospital, on the comer of Western Row and Longworth street, and his wife had been made the victims of the design of some wretched miscreant, who in the guise of a present, had sent them on “infernal machine,” which exploding while being opened, blew twenty-two pieces of balls, slugs and iron into the legs and body of Mr. Allison, and otherwise so horribly mutilating him that ho died before morning. Mrs. A., was so shockingfy mutilated that she died the next day. ‘ Fruitless search has been made for the alleged perpetrator of the diabolical act, until n cine was obtained on Saturday, when & gentleman of this city; named C, F. Willard, found in his box a letter addressed to 0. F, Willard, from a Mr. Willcts, of on* matters concerning his pecuniary affaire. The letterthua received evidently had fallen intowrorig hands, and the person who. received it-handed it to Miles Greenwood, who communicated the matter to CapU Hoke and Marshal Rnffin, who at once suspected that the letter was from Wra. H. : Arrison, the alleged murderer. On Monday morning. Mayor Snelbaker, Capt. Hoke and Deputy'Marshal Leo left on the care for Chicago, Deveuport and Muscatine.- . They-arrived at the latter place on Tuesday evening and after making dilli gent inquiries, tliey found ont that Willets was clerk in the Dnig siorc of h Mr. Daugherty. On Wednesday morning early, the officers, hy the assistance of the deputy sheriff, procured a warrant for tltc arrest of Willcts, not however, until they had satisfied themselves that he was Wm. II., Arrison. About 8 o’clock they went to the drug store, , Arrison was seated on a chair with Ins hack to the door, reading a newspaper. - The sheriff amlMayor Snclhaker at .the same time pi a ml one hand on each shoulder, and calling him hy name announced to .him that he was their prisoner, Arrison started , to his feet, and appeared greatly excited, - He then declared, that Arrison wns his name, anil at first objected to accompanying them, but after a few mohipnts ‘ reflection he consented. The news of the arrest of Willets as the man Arrison, soon spread through the town, and much excitement was manifested, bht an entire willingness was manifested by the citizens, to have him brought to Cincinnati for examination.

JIessiw. Editors; —I find myself again in the Ubosicr State, and in one of the finest parts of it. Few of onr counties surpass Fayette in beauty of scenery, fertility of soil and variety and abundance of products. Its Agricultural Fair is said to be one of the best in the State, and this Fall it awarded larger premiums than any other comity. The receipts of the last Fair amounted to more than 81.GOO. This throws the revenue of Old Switzerland into the shade.

The Junction Road was recently put; under contract, to be finished from here to Hamilton against next October. The contractors lake real estate stock in payment for their work. The company lias been unable to get money to pay diem, but tliis arrangement obviates that difficulty, Perhaps the road will be completed. It would bo a great loss to have it fall through after so mnch labor has been performed upon it. The Valley Road through Brookviile is abandoned. Too many rail-roods have been located, and some unprofitable ones completed. I was told by the Treasurer of the branch from Edinburg to Shelbyville, that its receipts now amount to only about 850,00 per week, whereas they were 8500,00 before the Lawrcnccbmgb and Indianapolis Rood went into operation. The branch from Columbus to Shclbyville scarcely pays its daily expenses.— Before it was built, anil 8300,000 had been expended on a new route up the Madison hill, the Madison rail-road was paying good dividends. But these, which arc well styled “Brough's folly," have very much reduced them and brought the stock in that road 20 per cent. 1 below par. The truth is, only the large truck roads can be made to pay. for a long time to come; and perhaps, the pressure in the money market will' sober the senses of many who havc been carried away by the jail-road mania.

The Post announces scmi-officially the Acquisition- of Sam a, and says it amount« virtually if not absolutely to the annexation of St. Domingo. This acquisition by the United States of so important n position, is threatening on either hand the Spanish Island Cuba, and so directly affecting tho British .West Indian possessions, that it cannot bo received with indifference.

The county scat is a prosperous, wellbuilt and pleasantly-situated town, containing about 2,500 inhabitants. Its importance keeps pace with, and perhaps exceeds that of the country around it.— Everything about .it indicates steady growth and healthful prosperity, unless we except its banks, which are somewhat affected by the epidemic which is raging in our State. The Connersville Bank is still dosed, but the merchants arc taking its paper at par for goods. They think it will soon resume operations, and that its notes will bo worth at least 75 or SO ! cents on the dollar, even if it should be forced into liijmdalion. The Fayette Comity Bank is here esteemed one of the best of the free banks, on account of the mode in which its stock is taken. It is not owned like the Laurel Bank hy two, or like the Conncrsvillc Bank, by four men; but by a*venly stockholders in this comity. This makes the responsibility clause in their charter of some value. But where one or two men arc the only stockholders, and they have nil they are worth invested in the bank, it affords no security to the bill-holders that they arc responsible to doable the amount of their stock; for when the batik fails they arc worth nothing. But many of the stockholders of the Fayette County Bank are substantial farmers, who have only invested some of their surplus capital in hanking. Therefore their responsibility to double the amount of their stock would avail something to the billholders, in ease the bank should fail.. It has still redeemed its notes when presented. Runners from the Cincinnati brokers arc here every few days drawing out gold in exchange for its paper, which was purchased in the city at from 10 td 15 per cent, discount. In some cases their paper has been bought at 20 per cent, discount, although they have never refused either gold or bankable funds for it, when presented at their counter. As long ns the brokers of Third street can cry down our State Stock Banks so as to get their paper at snob enormous shaves, uud yot eocuro the gold for Itwhoo presented for redemption, they will find it profitable to keep up the panic about free banks. 1 don't know whether the free banking system is a wise one or not; bat it seems to mo some of the *brokers must be pleased with the way in which it is working the. cash into their pockets’. • By the way, why is it that there arc so many more banks in the Whitewater Valley, than along the Ohio river in tins Stale? Conncrsvillc has two. Laurel two, and Brookviile one, while there is not a bank from Lawrencebargh to Madison.

Clark men claim it for him, and Seymour men claim his election by a small majority. Raymond Whig is elected Lieutenant Governor it is generally conceded. As near as can bo ascertained, N.

, I wonder whether yon have the Ladies’ Temperance Wreath on your list of exchanges. It is a semi-monthly, which is edited hy Mm. Lavinia Brownlee and Miss Eliza M. Chitwood. In its selections, editorials,'and mechanical appearance, it compares favorably with its older and more experienced neighbors, the Telegraph and the Times. The nobleness of its .principles and the pnrily of its infincnco make it a safe, and ought to make It a welcome visitor to thousands of onr Indiana homes., I believe it is the only Temperance paper in the West which is conducted by the Ladies, and when-they take hold of it so ably and energetically, I cannot but wish them success. Price 81,00 per year in advance. What will the ladies of Switzerland say to encouraging. their sisters, by subscribing for the paper?

SST We liavc received tbe first mnntar of the “Herald of-Frecdom,*' a paper that lias just made its appearance in the far 1 distant region of Kansas., It is a well filled and valuable paper/.and emanating from the place it does/ makes it almost a curiosity. .The.''editor with one hundred families emigrated from Pennsylvania at the same tinio, and pitched their tents on . the solitary hanks of the Kansas river, a short time- ago, and commenced clearing away the forest, which has rested in .'unbroken silence since the creation of the world, save whoa broken by an occasional Indian or wild animal as 1 it passed from one region of the country to the other.

A' letter from Havana, alluding to the murder of tiic captor of Lopez says; “Like the Iicasts of the forest, having tasted of human blow!, the Creoles appear inclined to solely glut themselves with such dainty fare; and mark me, there will be many other less justifiable assassinations before a long period shall have elapsed. Indeed that some great plot or conspiracy is about to develop itself is very certain, but it would bo dangerous for mo to write all 1 know on this subject." The New York Courier also expresses the opinion that there will be hot work in Cuba within a few weeks.

The Election .Eland Explained. Tim annunciation of the fact that Dr. Newland is shown to be elected Treasurer of State, is in consequence of some 23000 votes having been cast for Wm. P. Nofsingcr ’ instead Wm. It Nofsmgcr, has created considerable stir throughout the country; nod learned dessertatious havcbccn .submitted to the public" with reference to the effects of Ibis error. Now we propose to takoalltbc kinks out of this very knotty question in a very few words. In the first place, we assume that there were no such number of votes cast for Dr. Nofsingcr, in the name of Wm. P,,. although' the returns in the office, of . the Secretary of Stale may'show : that fact For example, the return of Salem P, Town, Clerk of Floyd county; certified that Wm, F. Nofsingcr'received in; this county 1700 votes, when in fact the tickets on file, will show that no , such man was voted for at nil by that name. The error occurred in this way. In the country townships blank tally papers were used, with the names of the State officers printed ; thereon. On cadi of these will be found the name of Wm. F. instead of F. In the township of New Albany, these printed forms were not, used, and the clerk, in making ont his certificate, happened to take for his guide one of the printed returns from the country.—Hence the error so far as Floyd county is concerned,.

At twelve he Was a copper color all over; at twenty years of ago ho was spotted like a leopard; since that time ho has been white nearly all- over. He is now undergoing a second change—the black spots increasing in size and number.

Messrs. P, H, (t P, M. Root's woolen factory is the largest in tins State. They > have 10 looms, and can manufacture 250 j yards per day. The ingenious and complicated machinery' of their establishment, | seems Instinct witli life and reason. Such skill and exactness are exhibited in some of its operations, as to make one almost feel that the wood and metal before him arc under the control of an invisible but intelligent mind, which dwells in them and directs their movements.. No one can witness the delicate processes and in-, genions contrivances displayed in carding, spinning and weaving, without higher appreciation of the wonderful inventive powers of die human mind. And I think, too, that in passing thro* such an establishment ever)' one will have thoughts of New England. For we associate looms and spindles with her, as readily as we do wooden hams and nutmegs. And when wo hoar (ho hum of a factory, we look for a Yankee in it, as naturally as we do for a Dutchman in a grog shop. For it is as rare a thing for a real westerner, to think of making money out of the music of the Imttlcdoor and shuttlecock, as for an American to be found mixing mint-julips and wielding the toddy-stick.

A Foolish Pedestriiiu Feat*

Baunch's Ciuckex Sale.—The collection of rare foreign birds and. poultry', which had been on exhibition at Bamum’s Museum during the week, was sold at public auction in New Yoik, on Saturday. There were upwards of -seventeen hundreej persons in attendance and the biddipg was spirited. Tom Thumb was present as a visitor and bidder, and he attracted almost as much attention as the golden pheasants. He was perched on the top of the cages, and pointed out tho binls to be sold. A pair of white swans and a pair of Japanese peacocks were bid off at one hundred dollars each. One pair ot Mandarin ducks brought ouo hundred and fifty dollars. A black swan sold for one hundred dollars. Many very beautiful fowls, which were said to bo worth fifty dollars a pair, wore knocked down at two dollars and a half.

Upon inquiry of tho county Auditor, we leam that these blanks were furnished by Wm. Sheets, of Indianapolis, who has doubtless furnished a great many other counties with the same erroneous forms.

The Trihum is no doubt right in regard to the great majority of these errors, anti there will bo cnongh of them corrected yet, to elect Mr. Nofsingcr. In this connty, the printed blanks were used; and for the purpose of facilitating the counting of tho votes,,tbc titkets were printed so far as the state ticket was concerned jnst libo tho blanks; consequently this county voted wrong. Nearly all the votes were cast for Win. F. Nofsingcr in this county, but there were some cast for Wm. II. which we have seen no account of yet.
