The Elections.
The result of the October elections, has
been everywhere the triumph of the Republi- ,
can cause. In this State the Administration j
of JANES BUCHANAN has the second time j
becu signally rebuked, and the corruption and
the want of principle of the Black Democracy
repudiated. The majority for the Republican !
State Ticket will probably be about 20,P00. — ,
This result is the more significant and satisfae- ;
torv because the Administration adherents had
been quietly and actively at work, hoping to
achieve a favorable result, while on the part
of the Opposition, there bus been no conceit, I
no exertions put forth, relying for success up
on the unpopularity of tue National Adminis
tration.
The Legislature will also be strongly Oppo
sition. Of the Senators holding, eleven were j
Opposition, and eleven were Democrats. Elev- .
eu were to be voted for thisyoar, of which the f
Opposition certainly elect ten, with one doubt- i
fill. The llous6 will probably contain 60 Op
position to 40 Democrats.
In Philadelphia, W. I>. MANN, Opp. was
elected District Attorney. Sullivan County
elects a Republican Sheriff.
MINNESOTA. —FuII returns have not reached 1
u= from Minnesota, but enough to show deci- j
dec! gains for the Republicans. There is no j
doubt of the election of Republican Congress
men, Governor and Stato Ticket, and a ma
jority in both branches of the Legislature. j
OHIO. —The Republican majority for the i
State Ticket is about 17,000. The Senate!
will be composed of 25 Republicans and 10
Democrats, and the House of 64 Republicans i
and 40 Democrats.
The Legislature just chosen will have the
privilege of electing a U. S. Senator in the
place of Pugh, and there is every reason to
suppose that CHASE will again occupy the place !
lie so ably filled in that body.
Kw.v.—Nothing definite has been received
from lowa. Slight Republican gains are re
ported over the vote in 1557, when the State j
gave a small Republican majority. We have 1
no doubt Icwa adheies to the icfue of Free
dom.

A sad disaster took place on the
Tuscarawas branch of the Cleveland and Pitts
burg railroad, Saturday evening. As a train
was passing One Leg Crock, the whole was
precipitated into the creek, and the engineer,
Jake Reynolds,and fireman, Sam Comes, killed.
The baggage-master was hurt, and a man rid
ing on the engine badly cut in the leg. Engine
badly smashed. The bridge had been recently ;
placed in thorough repair, and hail been ex
amined and approved just previous to the ac
cident. On the evening preceding the disaster,
the train rau over a cow uear that place, kill
ing it and throwing the cars off the track.—
Some parties in the neighborhood made threats
of revenge, so that Reynolds, whose engine
had killed the cow, expressed his conviction on
Saturday that he should be killed before reach
ing home that night. His impression was un
fortunately a true one.
HON G. A. GROW has been speaking in Min*
nessota, and Mrs. SWISSHELM who publishes a
paper at St. Cloud, seems to be in ecstacies on
his speech at that place. She speaks of it in
the following complimentary manner r
" His speech was great, GRAND, GLORIOUS!!! Noth
ing wauting! Not a word too much.
" Talk abont the by-gone greatness of the American
Congress. People are always croaking of the " good old
time," but Henry Clay never excelled that speech, and
we think never equalled it. Thank God for the men He
has raised up to fight out his second American Revolu- :
tion—the real inauguration of the Declaration of Inde- i
pendence."
teg- One of the most gratifying features of
the result of the late election is the election j
of W. W. KETCH am as Senator from the Lu
zerne district. His success, which is officially an
nounced, secures in the Senate the presence 1
of an able man and a thorough-going Republi
can. A majority ot 215 vote 3in that stroug
democratic county, with an animated canvass,
and a full poll, shows the estimation in which
he is held by his fellow-citizens.
to?* A St. Louis paper notices a suicide in ,
that city from a rather singular cause. A young |
Frenchman, named Dounedien, was insane.—
He thought his stomach was fall of devils—an
aggravated case of dyspepsia—and, despairing j
of relief, he cot his throat aud shot himself.

of ix.aos&3 and Nebraska, and President of the ,

ADMISSION OF KANSAS
Returns of the recent election in Kansas in
dicate the adoption ofHie Cobstitntion framed
at Wyandotte. It remains now to be seen
what disposition Congress will mnke of the
re■ stt application for a itmission. Topeka and
Lccompto'.. huvc bet one matters of history,and
' the policy lv which their r< j ct'on was secured
h:i> so thoroughly demoralized the Democratic
jv.rty that it is doubtful if the Administration
will dare repeat tlic dose. A majority of the
ucst C .IT.-. > as Republicans or as anti-Le
conipton Deniocfats, arc committed to the nd
i
mission of Kansas, in spite of the provisions of
the English Bill, and the settlement then made.
As a question of j rude ce, the Democratic
party may wish to exclude Kansas for another
year. A? a question of policy, they may feel
compelled to admit her, lest the doubtful dis
advantage of three votes in the electoral col
lege against thetn may be changed into the
certain effects that would be produced by any
further factious or arbitrary opposition. If
the Democracy scorns Kansas again, it will
reap a whirlwind of popular indignation which
will indicate a sowing of the most marvellously
productive seed. It has professed to desire the
removal of the Kansas question from the arena
of politics. It is in its power to accomplish
that end, and it will hardly care to assume the
responsibility of keeping open the wounds of
" bleeding Kansas," though the Senate and
the President may most strongly desire it.—
After all, the Wyandotte constitution is not
merely an expression of the wish of Kansas
to enter the Union as a State. It is the re
cord and the triumph of a five year's conflict
against hostile administrations, brutal ruffian
ism, and the doubts and sneers of a large party
in the older States. It is the first fruits of the
" irrepressible conflict " slowly but surely
fought, now won, unhappily, by blood, but
vindicating forever the potency of fixe, when
contending agaiust slave labor.
FOREIGN NEWS. —The steamer Xorth Briton
arrived at Quebec" on Wednesday, w tb advices
from England to the sth inst. Among other
tidings of interest, we have information that
the Hon. JOHN Y. MASON, the American Envoy
Plenipotentiary at Paris, died in that city on
the 3d inst. of apoplexy. The political news
is not of a very Iranquiliziug character. The
Italian question was daily acquiring more
troublesome attributes ; so serious, indeed,
viere the aspects of the subject, that prepara
tions for war were proceeding with great en
ergy in Prance and in Austria. It was under
stood that the mediation of the King of the
Bdgians had been profitless. Ju Italy the
popular ferment was increasing, frequent ar
rests were made, and symptoms of insurrection
had appeared in the Kingdom of the Two
.Sicilies, The King of Sardinia had caused a
note to be addressed to the several friendly
Courts of Europe, arguing strongly for a mon
archv of Northern Italy, as the only barrier
Ito the designs of Austria. KOSSUTH, having
returned to England, had written a despairing
, note to the Press, deploring the peace of Til
lafrancn, and looking hopelessly to the irrime
■ diate future. The London Times continues
its discussion of the San Juan question in a
tone of increased acrimony.
BSfcf* The prevalent impression that the voy
age of the Great Eastern was postponed inde-
finitely, in consequence of the casualty 01T
Hustings, prove- to be incorrect. From the
letter of the X. Y Times Special Correspon
dent, who is in a situation to he thoroughly
informed, the vessel will leave Great Britain
on Thursday 20th, (to-day), and, if the calcu
lations of the projectors [move .correct, will
reach Portland in the course of next week. The
extension of her voyage to New York has been
definitely decided upon, the route through the
Sound and the East River having been se'ect
ed us the safer approach. This intelligence
will be received with general satisfaction. Not
only will vague curiosity, which has so long
been balked ai.d disappointed, be now abun
dantly gratified ; but our scientific and engi
neering scholars, who have waited so impatient
Iv to explore the mechanical novelties and
wonders of this consummation of marine ar
chitecture, will find themselves enabled to study
the ship at their leisure, and at a point very
much more convenient than Portland, England,
or Portland, Maine. The Great Eastern will
probably be in New-York waters before the
middle of November.
The large new stables attached to the
UuitedJStates i?arracks, in Carlisle, were des
troyed by lire Sunday night, together with 15
horses and a quantity of feed.
firfcr" The action taken by the Episcopal
Convention, now in session at Richmond, Va..
relative to the restoration of Bishop OXDKR
HONK has not been officially made known.—
Contradictory rumors are in circulation, but
those best informed say that a vote on the re
storation of Bishop ONDERDONK, taken by the
House of Bishops, stood eight in favor of the
restoration ond tweuty-five against it. Others
state the vote as six to twenty-eight.

1 L-2 miles distant. The sailing conveniences were not
vi ry extensive, but what few advantages therc were, w ere
improved by a few of the members, who enjoyed—Judg

ACCIDENT —Mr. WIIJ.TAM DURAND, of Her
rick, while riding in a buggy with ii little danghter, six
or seven years old, on Friday last (14th) was thrown
from the wagon and received a severe injury on his leg.
cutting a gash below the knee-pan, severing the main
cord, and throwing tlie knee-pan out of place. Strange
to tell, the little girl was uninjured. The canse of the
accident was the unhitching of the hold back snaps, let
ting the wtgon too near the liorse, which became unman
ageable.
Mr 1)., has been very unfortunate—only a year ago he
received a hurt in one of his eyes from which he has
,-nffcred severely for nearly the whole year .and has finally
lost the sight.
Two years ago he had a valuable barn burned with all
its contents. How true it is, that troubles never come
singly.
f&BP" The Wartrly Adroc/itr of the 14th
says •' The Ulster Brass Band visited our village last Sat
urday afternoon. They entered town in a wagon drawn
by four horses, with banner* streaming, and playing sev
eral line pieces. They had been attending the Agricul
tural Fair at Towanda during the wc#k, and were out on
an excursion."
We accidentally omitted to notice that the Ulster Band
were engaged by Franklin Fire Company, to play on the
last day ol the Fair, and their music added greatly to the
occasion. They area fine body of men, show a good
deal of training combined with musical ability and make
first-rate music. They will compare favorably with anv
band in this section.

Insurrection at Harper's Ferry!
EXPRESS TRAIN FIRED INTO!
BALTIMORE, Monday, Oct. 17.
A dispatch just received here from Freder
ick, and dated this morning, states that au
j insurrection has broken out at Harper's Ferry,
where an armed band of Abolitionists have
full possession of the Government Arsenal.—
The express train going east was twice fired
into, and one of the railroad hands and a negro
was killed, while they were endeavoring to get
j the train through the town. The insurrection
ists stopped and arrested two men, who bad
come to town with a load of wheat, and, seiz
ing their wagon, loaded it with rifles, and sent
, them into Maryland. The insurrectionists
number about two hundred and fifty whites,and
, are aided by a gang of negroes. At last ac
counts fighting was going on.
The al ove is given just it was received here.
. It seems very improbable, and should be re
-1 ceived with great cautiuu, until confirmed by
further advices.
BALTIMORE, Monday, Oct. 17.
A later dispatch received at the Railroad
Office, says the affair has been greatly exag
[i gernted. The reports had their foundation in
j a difficulty at the Armory, with which uegroes
had nothing to do.
BALTIMORE, Monday, Sept. 17—1 P. M.
It is apprehended that the affair at Harper's
Ferry is more serious thau our citizens seem
willing to believe. The wires from Harper's
Fe''ry are cut, aud consequently we have no
teh graphic communication beyond Moncacy
1 Station. The Southern train, which was due
here at an early hour this morning, has not
yet arrived. It is rumored there is a stampede
|j of negroes from this State. There are many
i.'her wild rumors, but nothing autheutic as
! yet.
The Secretary of War has telegraphed to
' Fort Monroe fop three companies of artillery,
w ho are expected to bein Baltimore to-morrow
-j morning. A company of marines will leave
. I the Washington Navy-yard at 3:20 o'clock to
i day for Harper's Ferry.
! Colouei Fremont's Reported Letter.
An article appeared in a weekly paper some
days since, mentioning a current report that
' Colonel John C. Fremont had written a letter
. stating that, in consideration of several exist
ing circumstances, he is not and will be a can
didate for the Presidency in 1860. In the
first place, it is intimated that he declares
" that he has no idea of sinking himself in a
grave which his been rendered futile ; and, in
the second pla e, cannot consent to become
the standard-bearer of a party with whose
, entire creed he confesses no coincidence. He
-avs that he does not adopt, and never has
adopted the creed of the Republicans ; and
that although in the year 1860 he consented
to become tie candidate of that party, out of
respect for the coi fideuce they professedly re
posed in him, he did not give his adhesion to
their nitire code of political doctrine. He
furtln.r says—according to report—that he is
confident that he would have been elected
President of the United States 1856, but for
an ill-timed letter written by his late father in
law. Colonel Thomas 11. Benton." It is said
that Colonel Fremont's letter closes with the
following in substance :
" I do not desire to be a candidate again
for the Presidency. I consented to hold that
relation in against my better judgment
and will ; but I was assured that those who
would rally around me possessed the power
essential to my election ; and I confess that
the " bauble,' as it might have been called by
i Oliver Cromwell, possessed attractions which
I could not well resist. But I would not again
encounter all the vexation, mortification and
annoyatlce I then enconntered, if the reward
were to be ten thousand presidencies."
Whether Colonel Fremont will or will not
accept the Presidential nomination in 1860, if
tendered to him, it may be regarded ascertain
that he will not do so before it shall be offer
ed. Since his defeat in 1858, his attention
has been engrossed entirely by his private bus
iness, and has written no letters in relation to
the Presidency. He has no weaknesses in that
direction. When he accepted the nomination
three years since, he placed himself unequivo
cally upon the platform of the Philadelphia
Convention ; and since that time has written
or said nothing intimating any change of sen
timent or position, or which would injure his
prospects as a candidate next year. Reports
which represent him as writing letters to de
cline the Presidential nomination, when it is
by DO meaus certain that he will receive it,are
not only untrue bat grossly unjust.— Evtning
j['est.
