" ~ ----- me & 1 Politics in Illinois. [Correspondence of the North American and l*.S.(!azetti CHICAGO, October 5, lie s ß. V The political warfare in Illinois waxes hoi tor and hotter. It may be safely n Hedged tha' American politics never developed so close inn heated a local contest, asjjie one now earriei on in this State between Mr. Lincoln and Sen" ntor Douglas, as the Representatives of thru respective parfks, Every inch of ground, pu sumed to lie doubtful, is contested with flu" energy of desperation; and, hotreycr indisposed n man may be to join either side, he caiino escape tire influence of the pcrmfling excite ment which permeates ull classes and all places Outside of the State, we arc told, the contest is watched with the utmost interest. Andthis Is not strange, for, whichever way the beam falls, the effect upon the politics of the whole country will lie very decisive. Mr. Douglas is too good a politician not to know that, with him, it is a question of life nnd death, and he is sparing no effort and no expense to make Ills election sure. It is said that bis liberality has been so munificent, and the price paid so high, for manufactured en thnsiasm, that lie lias been obliged to draw largely npon his friends, and even to mortgage estates, so that his defeat will not only make him politically, but legally a bankrupt. Rut however this may lie, if he is defeated, his re bellion against the discipline of the democratic party will not soon be forgotten Ivy his rivals; but if successful, no man will occupy a more commanding position in that party, or stand more directly in the line of succession to Mr. Buchanan. On the other hand, a victory of the repub licans over their great original opponent, and the Illinois democracy, will give the party n prestige which cannot lie resisted, and the bat tle in 1860 will be half fought at tlie success fnl termination of the campaign in this State ' Both parties say they are confident of sue- ; cess, but neither feels as much; though, after J a careful examination of the whole field, I am prepared to express my opinion that Lincoln will win. The Republican S;ate Ticket will be elected by a large majority, hut the politi cal complexion of the Legislature is in doubt, from the fact that a number of the old sena tors hold over, and from the fact that the State has not been districted since 1846. Since that time tiie notliern and republican sections of the State have doubled in popula tion, while the southern and democratic [tor tious have not increased more than fifty per cent. But the Republicans and Americans have, when nnited. a large majority in the State, and the conservatism of Mr. Lincoln gives him the almost undivided support of the Americans, who have a controling influence in the central comities, where the real battle ground lies. The Republicans are also indi rectly assisted by the Administration demo crats, wiio, though not numerous, are sufficient ly influential to draw votes enough from Doug las to change the result in doubtful counties. Mr. Buchanan has evidently set his heart on the defeat of Senator Douglas, and ho requires of all place-holders a cordial support of his policy. Mr. Davidson who has been recently removed from his office of 1". S. Marshal for this district, was a clever, amiable gentleman; an excellent officer, popular with the lawyers, and with all who had business with him. But he was half Buchanan and half Douglas, and in ail hour of weakness he appointed some needy Douglas men as his deputies. This ben evolent act cost him his head. The Adminis tration would not nccept of a divided support. This case illnstrates the policy of Mr. Buchan an, and the difficulty of serving two masters. With all these elements of opposition to the " Little Giant," his chances cannot be regard ed as good as they might be He lias it is true, some supporters from the republicans but they are very few. We were not quite so willing to forget, as some of our eastern friends were to have us, how bitterly, up to last win ter, he denounced us as " black republicans.,' " disuoionists," Ac.; how he stood by, in the Senate chamber, and saw Mr. Sumner caned; how he justified and defended the outrages in Kaisas; and how, as has recently been assert ed by and proved from the record, by Senator Trumbull, lie, (Douglas,) as chairman of the Committee on Territories, struck out from the Toombs Kansas bill a clause providing for the submission of the constitution to the peo ple. But enough of politics. The election on the first Tuesday iu November will soon settle the question between the contending parties. The important ejectment suit against the Illinois Central Railroad Company, brought to recover land on which their depot is located, in this city, is now being tried before the U. S. Circuit Court, Justice McLean presiding. The buildings and other improvements made by the company have cost not less than one million dollars, and the land in question is es timated to be worth an equal amount. Mr. McLean of Cincinatti, son of Justice McLean, is the managing lawyer for the plaintiff, and Mr. Joy of Detroit for the defendants. Tiie result of the case depends upon a question of boundary, and the original channel of the Chi cago river, which has been changed by harbor improvements made by the government. Every legal point in the ease has been contested will great zeal by the counsel on both sides, but they have all thus far been decided in favor of the plaintiff. But however the case is decided in this Court, it will lie carried up to the U. S. Supreme Court, and, unless compromised, is not likely to be determined for years. The land in question was bought by the company of the U. S. Government, hut the plaintiff claims it under a prior grant from the govern ment. A S\r> Arrinnvr.—From the Republican Banner we learn that a serious accident oc curred at the Ladies' Riding March on the Cortland County Fair Ground, on Thursday of last work. Mr. and Mrs. Blancliard, of Trnxron, were riding together around the track at a high rate of speed, Mrs. B. on tlie inside of the track—when her horse suddenly bolted the traek, and threw her violently upon the ground. In falling, her head struck against a carriage that was standing near, filled with persons watching the ride, and inflicted a severe wound on the back side of her head which com pletely stunned her. Several medical gentlemen were near, who examined her wound, and re ported that she was not seriously injured but it would take some time for her to recover from the concussion. The minors that ahe was dead were without foundation. MJIKV Ca-'sar was a.-kctl by Brutus how many eggs lie had eaten for breakfast, lie an swered—" El lu, Ernie."

Burning of the Crystal Palace. i Tb Jiew Vrk paper* Lave full part iirulnr of the dtJstrnetio# of the Crystal Palace by lire 011 Tuesday' night. This palace was erected in I 853 at a cost of $711,000. Other improve ments since made swell the CO-1 to $750,000. It has been a ruinous speculation to ;tlie stock ' holders. The association Went into banKruptcy iii the fall or winter of 1854—John U. White a.-.siguee. Ttie Tnues gives the following account of the disaster : At ten minutes after b o'clock yesterday after noon the famous Crystal Palace, where the Fair ofthe American Institute was being held, took lire. There is no doubt as to the place where tiie fire originated. It was first seeu in what was called the " lumber room," comprising the entrance at the Forty second street side, at the North nave. The lumber room was lilted with old wooden patterns relics of previous exhibitions—a quantity of canvas and miscellaneous refuse, aU of a dry md highly inflammable character. In a mo ment the whole was in a blaze The flames rushed up through the staircase, lighted a thirty-one-star gas illuminator, dashed among a quantity of paints and chemicals on the second floor—swept around and along the nave, tnk ing a quantity of bedding, cabinet ware and wall paper, until they reached the edge of the dome. In an instant one body of flame encir cled the entire area of the dome. The heat<*d air and the gas caused the girders to snap like brittle glass, and in twelve minutes from the discovery of the lire, as is determined by sever al gentlemen who noted the fact by their watches, the dome fell with a thundering crash and in twenty minutes' time the roofs of these [tortious of the building ware destroyed and fell. An alarm was given the moment the fire was discovered, but so rapid was its progress that by the time firemen reached the place it was too Into to be of service in saving the building and its contents. The hose of several engines was taken into the building, and water was frec'y thrown in upon the burning mass. When tiie roofs and walls of the outer naves fell, the utmost caution had to be used to prevent ac cidents among tiie immense crowd that had assembled. Fortunately 110 one was injured by tile tailing walls. From the sum known to be taken at the en trance, as well as from other means of deter mining the fact, no fewer than 2,000 persons arc estimated to Have been in the building when the cry of fire arose. Of this immense crowd, there is yet no positive evidence that asy lost their lives. There was a rumor that a female and her child were among the ruins, but the story was not well authenticat ed. A statement also prevailed that a young man named Smith, employed iu the jewelry department, was missing, but he turned up safe, having saved SBOOO worth of jewelry. A large number of persous having articles on exhibition were present iu the building when the tire broke out. Tiie fact that the building was constructed of iron and glass dispelled from from the minds of every one all apprehension of any danger of the building being destroyed. At first very few thought of looking after the r goods but seeing the rapid progress of ihe flames, many undertook to remove them. The fire spread, however, with such astonishing rapidity that they had hardly turned to pick up such of their articles as were portable he fore they were obliged to drop them and hurry for their lives. A beautiful hose carriage, on exhibition from Albany, was taken iu safety out of the Fortieth street entrance. A case of patented self cocking pistols and rifles, manu factured by IL. S. North of I'iiiia lephia, was taken cut as the same entrance. Two stories prevailed as to whether the the Case contain ing the medals to be awarded by the Institute at the close of the Fair was removed or not. — The total value cf these medals would be not less than s>ooo. The articles above enumerat ed comprise all the property saved, excepting, as stated elsewhere, the case containing SBOOO worth of jewelry. An attempt was made to remove the fire engine though the Fortieth street entrance but the fire had gained such headway that the man attempting the removal had to relinquish the undertaking. The moment the alarm of fire was given, Mr. Johnson, one of the managers, attempted to get the hose into action reserved in the building for emergency in case of fire. It was impossible to force water through it, and the effort to extinguish the fire in this way was of necessity abandoned. Had this aparatus been in working order, the conflagration un doubtedly might have been prevented. A feature of the Palace was the steam Cal liope, introduced for the first time at the ex hibition of last year. There were three of these singular musical monsters iu the Palace. One was placed there yesterday, and was not quite iu working order. The other two were iu full blast. They were placed on the platform in the centre of the building immediately under neath the dome, and daily discoursed music to the great wonderment and delectation of the visiters to the Palace. On one of the instru ments a tunc had just been finished when the lire broke out ; the air b}' seeming strange fatality, being" Pop, goes the weasel.'" The value of three instruments—they were all con sumed—was $1(5,000. The value of the property destroyed can scarcely lie estimated with any degree of ac curacy. Tiie Palace was valued by the Amer ifiiii Institute, when they essayed to by it, at $125,000. The goods on exhibition at the Fair and the statuary which had been left since the World's Fair, at a low estimate, must have been worth $225,000, making a total of SBSO, 000. The Herald says, all the statuary and paintings in the Palace were, of course destroy ed. Some of the statues were very fine, and ranked high as works of art. The most strik ing object in the statuary department was the Tliorwaldsen group, which was greatly ad mired by all the visiters to the Palace. The figure of Christ was represented with out stretched hands, as if in the act of blessing— the head slightly inclined, The statues of the Apostles stood on smaller pedestals, and were ranged in the form of a semi circle. Kiss' equestrian statue of the Amazon attacked by a L:on, attracted very general attention, and was usually surrounded by a group of persons. It was splendid work of art, and its loss will be regretted. An equestrian statue of Washing ton, life-size, by Baron Marochetti. An impos ing group and much admired colossal statue of Daniel Webster, in marble, by Caven of Lon don. Lion and boa constrictor in death strug gle.

The poll in this County, on Tuesday, was unusually light. The returns received, indicate a majority for the State Ticket and GROW of from 4000 to 5000 votes; for Judge WILMOT, of nearly if not quite 4000; while the balance of the Rupublican County Ticket will have majorities ranging from 2500 to 5000. Up to the time of our going to press, we have not learned anything of the result in the State. No returns had been received by tele graph at Waverly, on Wednesday morning. fisaT" The report of Mr. Varley, electrician of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, in England has been received at length. It states that there is a fault of great magnitude at a distance of between two hundred and forty five and three hundred miles from Valentin, and it is possible that it may be in shallow water. At this faulty place the copper wire does not touch the wire covering of the cable. The copper wire, itself it continuous. It is believed that another defect in the cable existed when it was laid down. It is supposed the cable has been somewhat injured by the powerful currents that were first used upon it. It is jiossible that some intelligent signals may yet be receiv ed through the cable, but it is also probable that by continuing to transmit signals the wire will be cut asunder and the connection thus destroyed. As the case stands, there is too much reason to fear that the present cable will serve no other substantial purpose than to teach us how to make a better one.

The news is consequently, ten days later than was received by the way of Panama. The trip occupied but a little over twenty-three days, and six passengers came through by the stages. A large number of prominent citizens of St. Louis assembled at the depot on the arrival of the mail, and Mr. BrrrERFiELn, the President of the Overland Mail Company, was greeted with a hearty welcome. A long procession accompanied the mails to the Post Ofiire. "There is no news of special importance from California. The line of telegraph from Placervdlc to Salt Like City had been commenced. From Fraser's River the accounts are not encouraging. High water still seriously interfered with mining op erations. From Oregon, wc hear that a skir mish had taken place betweeu a force under Major GARNETT and the Indians, in which Lieut. ALLEN and six Indians were killed.— The Indians had attacked a party of miners on the \\enatshe River, and killed one of them. There was a painful rumor that a party under Gen. PALMER had been massacred near Okana gan, but it was probably unfounded. The Chinese Treaty negotiated by Min ister REEK arrived in Washington on Sunday, in charge of I)r. WILLIAM N. BRADLEY, U. S. Consul at Ningpo. It was yesterday delivered to the State Department, together with a full synopsis of the English Treaty, with the fea tures of which our readers are already familiar The document was accompanid by an autograph letter from the Emperor of China, written in the Chinese and the Mauchoo lauguages, on a piece of silk two by seven feet in extent.

CAMELS ON TUK PLAINS. —The same 'corres pondent, in the same letter says : '• The camels ; owned by government, to the ntwnber of forty -1 nine, arc at Camp Verde, 00 miles from this I city. Only one has died, and there are ten natives of the soil—-Texas camels—healthy, and in every respect equal to their" illustrious predecessors" at the same age. The question of their living in this country is solved tri umphantly. They seem to thrive better than on their native deserts. There is a wide differ ence of opinion as to their utility on the plains. By some mules are prefered—a few like the camels. Gen. Twiggs is a decided anti-camel man, and expresses his opinion very forcibly."

W., and was nearly new. TITAX-KSGIVING RAY. —The Governor of New Hampshire has appointed Thursday. November 25th, as a day of Thanksgiving. It is the lir.-t appointment made this year, and the dav selected will doubtless be generally chosen by other Governors. COL. FORNEY made another strong speech,at Germautown, Penn., on Friday. He anato mized the President after this fashion : Mr. Senator BROWN, of Mississippi, in ad dressing the people of that State a few weeks ago, took occasion to refer to a private conver sation which he had had with Mr. BUCHANAN*. i It is a most extraordinary fact, by the way, i that nobody is denounced for repeating a pri vate conversation concerning a public qnestion, unless it be a Northern man. [Langhter and applause.] The purport of this private conver sation upon a public matter was, that the Pre sident had assured him that he wonld remove all men from office who did not accept the En glish bill as a finality on the Kansas question. Mr. BKOWN, in referring to this, remarked: "1 regarded Mr. BUCHANAN* as a little weak in | the back, but I intended to hold him to the | issue." lam not here to disctiss a qnestion of ; anatomy —to determine whether Mr. BUCHAN t AN is weak in the back, or whether lie is weak i in the knees, (as a distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania said on one occasion ;) or wheth i er he is weak in the head, [laughter;]or wlieth er he is weak in the heart. All that I wish to say is, that 1 demand that the same rule which applies to the North, in reference to the dis- I tribution of patronage,shall apply to the South. When Mr. Buchanan was elected President of the United States, he caused it to be announ ced throughout the land that he wonld allow no man to remain in office more than four years ; that any man who had been in office : for R longer period must give place to another. This was so well understood as the policy of the President that men who had been in office three years and a half prepared to retire at the end of six months. What was the course of the South ? When they discovered that this rule had been adopted they demanded of the President that he shonld make an exception in their favor. They said : "We deny this doc trine ; we decline to submit to this rule." And Mr. BUCHANAN yielded ! TIIK CASE OK IRA STOUT. —AII efforts to save IRA STOUT from execution, for the murder of CIIARLKS \\ . LITTLES at Rochester, seem to be unavailing. The individual Judges of the Su preme Court have in turn been applied to by STOUT'S counsel, and in turn have refused to grant a writ of error. The last adverse opinion is that of Judge STRING, published in the Ro chester papers of Saturday. The Democrat says : This decides the question of the fate of the condemned, so far us counsel and the Courts are concerned. Mr. POMEROY, who has defend ed his unfortunate client with consummate abil ity, and abandoned his cause only when there is no further hope of obtaining a second trial, inimatcs to ns that lie now considers his whole' duty performed in the premises, and will inter pose no further efforts to stay the execution of the dread sentence, which condemns the mur derer to a felon's death on the gallows, on the 22d of this month. We are glad to be able to state that the prisoner, whose days ure so nearly numbered, is now in a frame of mind which in some degree fits him for the awful event. An a'tempt to get up a public demonstra tion of sympathy with the murderer, made in Rochester on Monday, under the guise of an Anti-Capital Punishment meeting, fell through and failed lamentably. The principal person age in the meeting was that famous strong minded female, SUSAN B. ANTHONY, who no minated FRED. DOUGLAS for the presiding offi cer, and then the demonstration was a row. SEVERE COURTING.— Last Saturday night a week, a spruce young fellow from somewhere about Qnincy, Pa., went to Port Providence to pay his devoirs to his dulciuea. It appears in their long and tedious courting they fell asleep. The mahogany table, on which the candle was was left burning, took tire, and was considera bly injured before tliey awoke. Youug folks, take advice, and do not prolong your sitting to an unreasonable hour. Let your courtship be short and sweet. T)o you SUFFER after eating, or from acidity 1 of the stomach, heart burn, water bash, wind, burning sensation, or indigestion ? Immediate relief cau be obtained by using the Oxygenated 1 Bitters. [From the Philadelphia Press.] Waifs from the Deep. On Monday the Norwegian bark Cdlhriua arrived at Qlebec with fifteen of the passen jrgrs and 1 seven of the crew of the bufiifdjste#-' mcr .\us/ruiu These arc additional lope six ty-seven already rescued, and make a. total of eighty nine. None of the missing I'hiladelplii aiis are among these further arrivals. A young girl Of M years otd is among fhe rescued, and it was hoj>ed that she might he one of the daughters of Mrs. VEZIN, hut the difference of age is against this conclusion. A curious circumstance connected with the unliHjipy losses which all so greatly feel and deplore, Ts the " hoping against hope " which some of theuurviving relatives entertain. The wife of Mr. THEODORE GEROCK, of Baltimore, is now visiting her relatives in Philadelphia, and while they have no doubt of bis loss, she lias a deep conviction that he is not dead. Ei ther lie was not on hoard th e Austria, (though he wrote to her that he had actually paid for his passage,) or, if he was, then he must have been among the few who were rescued. It may be within the knowledge of many of our readers that a clergyman of this city was among those who left for Europe in the ill-fated President, and was never again heard of. His wife, who remained in Philadelphia,and was deeply attached 10 him, never did, because she never would believe that he was lost to her Eighteen years have passed away, and yet that trusting lady—we cannot speak of her as wife, and she repudiates the name of widow —con tinues to expect his return. Every day a co ver is placed for him at the table, where still stands his accustomed chair. Every ring at the bell, we are informed, awakens the cher ished convictions of her heart that her loved one will return. We await further accounts of the loss of the Austria from the survivors whom the Mavrirt carried away to Fayal. Bnt they can add lit tle information to what we already possess— that great carelessness was the proximate cause of the catastrophe, and that the captain, offi cers, and crew, exhibited great alacrity in their endeavors to save—themselves. m THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION'. —This expedi tion will be composed of sixteen vessels, carry ing '205 guns, and a land and naval force of 2,800 men and officers. Judge Bowlin is to accompany the expedition, to try first the pow ers of peaceful persuasion ; if these fail, the stronger argument of force will probably bring President Lopez to his senses. In all proba -1 bility the first, backed by the presence of the I means to apply the second, will be sufficient for the purpose. Two thousand well appointed men turned braggat Brighara Young from a lire-eating hero to a pusilanimous craven, afraid to go abroad in daylight without au anneil guard. Lopez, it is said, has been asking "Why the armed force of the United States did not come ?" When he sees, the probability is that lie will not be desirous that it shall remain too loner, and hence he may be better inclined to yield to reason, and render the justice that he has so loner deferred. The firing upon the Water Witch, a United States vessel, while she was peacefully surveying the Parana, was an outrage the reparation for Which, though long delayed,is still due. Citizens of the Unit ed States, al-o, who were established in busi ness in Paraguay, have had their property seiz ed and taken from them, and have otherwise been treated by the authorities in an insulting and arbitrary manner, which requires redress. President Buchanan called the attention of Congress to these facts, and also showed that President Lopez had, on very frivolous preten ces, declining to ratify a treaty which would have better seenred American rights in Para guay. Congress thought the facts justified force, and if negotiation now fail, force will certainly be used. COUNTERFEITING EXTRAORDINARY HY A TURK ISH L.vnv.—The Turkish counsel at New York has informed the police authorities that he had received a despatch from the Ottoman govern ment, through the Turkish Minister at London, stating that a Mrs. Savasti had becu arrested at Constantinople fur passing counterfeit mo ney, which had been printed in New York. In her trunk was found 700,000 " caiiues " (piece of paper money valued at 20 piasters each.) Mayor Tiemaiiu immediately had the printer, Win. L. Harrison, arrested. Piles of the Turkish counterfeit money were found upon the shelves. Mr. 11. was at first greatly astonish ed at the apparition of the police. From his explanations it became evident that he was en tirely unaware of the true character of the job he had doue for the Turkish lady, lie said that lie recollected her calling on him about the Ist of July under the uame of Madame Zaifiuan, and engaged him to print a large quantity of what appeared to be l ibels, at $1 per 1000, exclusive of the cost of dies and en graving. She paid him $17(56 in cash, and a note for S3OO in payment for the job. On the -3d of July, she had the " labels " transfercd to the Astor House, and that was the last lie saw of her. He had not the slighest suspicion that what she called " labels were pieces of Turkish money. CHINA. —The advices from Canton bv the last European arrivals show a vcrv bad feeling existing between the Chinese and their conque rors. An officer serving at Canton describes several attacks made upon the soldiers when in detached parties, and their frequent assassina tion. The Chinese, it nppears, dig the graves of the guards and then stealthily fall upon and kill them, cutting off their heads and carrying them away. At Ilong Kong a document was in circulation entitled " Rules and regulations for the detection and punishment of traitors," which lias greatly alarmed the Chinese in the employ of foreign merchants and residents, and had caused many of them to leave the place. The document advises the seizure and punish ment of ail such employees who remain in such service after a given day. These manifestoes are circulated all over Canton, vowing ven geance against the French and English, " who have scaled the walls of the city, and burned not less than ten thousand houses and shops, robbed the people of their properties, polluted the women, pulled down houses, and destroyed properties." TORACCO IN THE CONNECTICUT YAI.IEY. — The tobacco crop in the Connecticut valley is unusually promising this year. Farmers arc now engaged in cutting it. This crop is an important featnro of agriculture in the Con necticut river valley, and ti c business lias been created within a few years. Farmers who nn derstand its cultivation make it more remunera tive than any other crop. About 1,500 pounds to the acre is the average yield of tobacco in U onnecticiit, and ten or twelve cents iter pound the price of the leaf.
