THBJ ELECTION-
The renin f ttie election on Thcsclay last,
las rasulted in ft glorious victory over tlio
democrats, galvanized, if not regenerated by
Aadrew Johnson. Although tbe majority
of den. Geary is not os large as aome of hia
more tangulne friends expected, yet, under
tbe circumstances, it is ft glorious victory.
Glorious beenu.ee of its grout importance and
beitsg achieved in opposition to the com
bined power of tbe party and tbe adminis
tration, with all the patronage of the latter.
Tbe loss In Philadelphia was in some de
gree, expected, &9 the power and patronaga
of the government was freely used in colo
ring voters.
Gen Geary's majority will not be Ices than
about 20,000. We have also gained two
Congressmen, which is quite as important
as tho election of Governor.
52fThe result in this county is en
courngiug. We have not, it is true, suc
ceeded iu electing our ticket, but we liavs
ewae so near it, that our opponents were
surprised, as well as delighted, after tho
smoke of the conflict bad disappeared, to
find that tbe avalanche which had passed
over them, hod not entirely engulpbed them.
There are still some districts, in this county,
where they delight iu the fact that "tho
school master is abroad" and there the so
called democracy reigns supreme. But even
there the rays of light begin to penetrate,
and in a few years more Northumberland
county will be redeemed.
It will be seen that Sir. Fiske, for Assem
bly, has been defeated by a very small ma
jority. Tho majorities against Iiothermcl,
for, Sheriff, and Bruner for Prothonotary,
are also very small. Miller for Congress,
runs with tho Governor.
ESTUrrER Augusta is Line. This gal
lant little township, which adjoins our bo
rough, did nobly on Tuesday, and gave a
Republican majority for the first limo. Our
neighbor of the Democrat, now resides with,
in its limit9, and some graceless wag inquires
whether that might not bo the caiue.
Our sister borough, Northumberland, has
also wheeled into lino by a largely increased
vote, and will, hereafter, "fight it out on
that line."

Savannah, Oct. 8. The steamer Evening

foundered at sea when one hundred and
eighty miles east of tho Tybee, with two
hundred and fifty passengers and fifty of the
crew. Only five, of tho crow and ono pas
Eengcr, Frank Gerrard, were saved.
The boat from tho Keening Star has ar
rived at Fernandina, Florida. She left tho
steamer with eighteen persons, including
Capt. Knapp, ono lauy and a child. She
capsized nine times. On the sixth time tbe
captain was lost. As the Sylvan Shore was
leaving Fernandina, a boat was reported to
be coming in, with tho purser and engineer.
Four boats left the steamer as she sunk.
The other two are supposed to have
swamped.
The 6cbooner J. Waring, from New
York for Apalachicola, has put in distress,
having thrown overboard a part of her deck

Tho celebrated horso tamer, Prof. J. S.
Rarey, died suddenly at Cleveland on Thurs
day afternoon last. Last December his
health was inatciially impared by a stroke
of palsy. Since that date be has traveled
constantly, hoping a change of climate, wa
ter and diet, with the best medical treatment
that could be procured, would restore his
youthful vigor. Mrs. Williams, a widow
and a niece of Mr. 1U rev's was his constant
attendant and was always unceasing in her
efforts to make his last days pleasant as pos
sible. They arrived in C'lvaveland six weeks
ago, and he was constantly under medical
treatment, being confined indoors, with the
exception of tbu timo consumed in a daily
horseback ride. Until an hour before his
death, Mr. Rarey retained, to a great extent,
bis usual brilliant colloquial powers, and
often amused and edified those by whom ho
was constantly surrounded with stories of
his adventures in this and foreign lands.
Yet be believed the hour of death was near
at hand, and frequently alluded to the fact
that he had all the heart could wish for but
health. At two o'clock on Thursday he
walked out on tho street, but returned soon
after and complained of a pain in his head.
After being seated a few moments be called for
help, laid him on a lounge and immediately
summoned tho nearest physician, while a
messenger also sent for the regular physician.
Life lasted one hour and twenty minutes.
Ho spoke but a few words, aud those were
relative to his mother. His brother arrived
soon after bis death and conveyed the corpc
to Groveport, near Columbus, where the do
ceased had erected a tine house, preparatory
to retiring fioui the excitement of an event
ful life. Ho was iu his thirty-eighth year,
and died a bachelor.

The rcadfiil Famine in India.
Tbe latest news from India shows that tbe
famine in the district of Orissa has made
fearful ravages. In Cuttack alone more than
8000 deaths arc attributed to the famine
in the week ending tho 1st of July. At
Ralasore an average of 10,816 persons were
relieved daily in tho fortnight ending the
23d of June, and of these it was onlv possi
ble to exuet work from 2231. Tho'deoths
attributed to the famine in this district were
768 in tho week alluded to. In Tirhoot the
destitution is very serious, but all possible
means are being used to alleviate it. From
Chota Nagporo tbe accounts are very dis
tressing. In six weeks 15,000 deaths occur
red, according to tho official estimates, and
upwards of 150,000 persons are at tho pre
sent time fed by private charity. Tho fa
mine, which has been going on for nearly a
year, and with additional intensity since
April, arises from the failure in successive
seasous of the rico crop, rice beiug almost
the solo food of the natives. The capital of
Cuttack is only two hundred and twenty
miles from Calcutta, aud the Government
is bitterly upbraided for neglecting to pro
vide measures oi reiiet, ana even tor inter
posing dilticultiet in tho way of those who
wero willing to uid the poor starving crea
