We Lave as yet very uieagre returns of the
election held yesterday ia ths connty ; but
these indicate, as might be expected, the suc
cess of tho Lccornptoa Democracy. Xor will
such a resul: surprise any one, more particu
larly when wo consider the great odds we Iiavc
to contend against, and the desperate efforts
made by the other party. Fx-Gov. Bigler and
his satelites, special mail agent Moore, and
the whole retinuo of tEce-seefcers, hangers
on, sma!I-fry politician'? and toadies were busy
as nailers, d:iy and uigl.t ; dishonorable as well
as honorable means were employed, and every
nerve was strained to carrr their ticket. On
the heels cf the hunt, circulars- and glaring
handbills were sent out by runners, urging the
Democrats to turn out to tho rescue of their
candidates and partr. In ibis Borough and
the adjoining township, all the forces were
working hard on election day, -B4 yt GUI.
has 7 less of a najority than he had in 1S5G.
How it will be in other paitsof the ccunty,
wc cannot yet s?.y, but we think the Democrat
ic majority will be reduced some.
On our part the canvass was conducted de
cently and honorably. Xct a word of perso
nal abnse or defamation cf private character
was permitted to appear in the journal we con
duct. Xo misrepresentations or falsehoods
were used by us Had wc run men of such
character as some of those on ti:e Democratic
ticket, quite a different course would doubt
less have been pursued by our opponents.
They wotrld have had no scruples about ma
king charges of cfZeial delinquencies and in
temperate and humoral Labits, against candi
dates. Ia all probability their paper would
have teemed with them, and every gas-pipe
that could have been put in operation would
have been blowing them into every ear in the
county. V.'e, however, refrained front using
such arguments, and dealt only with the pub
lic acts of their men. ,'oiv, that tho election
is over, we can direct attention to the manner
ia which tho canvass was conducted without
being accused cf wrng motives or with using
improper means to secure a victory.
The Coe:; Chop at the West. It is slated
that private letters from the West represent
the yield of the corn crop as much tetter
than was expected a month or to back. The
warm weather of t.'w early part of the mouth
had an excellent efi'ect.r.r. I there is now every
indication that wo shall have a two-third crop
and one that will be in a condition to ship.
The .New 'York Post says: It is a notorious
fact that our exports of last year's corn were
much reduced in conscqnenco of the softness
of the grain, and that millions of bushels went
to waste. Tfcs present yield promises to be
of a hardness ar.i strength that will make up
the apparent deSiicncy. A few weeks ot dry,
cold weather wonH still farther improve
render it a favorable article
Well informed parties be
lieve that in respect to the quality of the
grain the crop will prove superior to that of
the previous two years.
the grain and
Torty-niue of the camels belonging to tho
United States are now at Campe Verde, sixty
miles frci San Antonio. Only one of those
. imported have died, r.hile ten have been ad
ded by birth.' These ycung American born
camels thrivo we'd, and promise to grow eriual
in all respects to those ironort?d. .Notwith
standing the successful trial lately made by
Captain Eeate in his explorations across the
continent there are some officers cf the armv
who doubt whether anything is to be gained
by the use of camels. Ttys, however, might
be expected. There are always persons op
posed to all sorts of changes and innovations.
We hope, however, that experiments in their
use will not long bo confined to the army of
ficers, but that as the number increases they
will pass into the hands cf private owners.
COHETS.
Duriug the early part of last year, the whole
j civilized world was agitated by a. foolish pro
tection that a comet was .about to appear,
which would strike the earth at a tangent, and
knock it info the condition of a tempest-struck
hulk. Thepubiicpressof Europe and America
presented an immense spread of paper on the
subject, and there was a convulsive time of it
generally. The year 18-j7 passed away, how
ever, without the expected wanderer of the
skies making bis appearance ; and astronomers
and the public settled down into the dull rou
tine of common regularities, not anticipating
any brilliant comet for some time to come.
We have ail been most agreeably disappointed.
For some weeks past wc have been enjoying
nightly one of tiie most beautiful sights that
ever appeared in the starry dome.
On the second of June last, an Italian astron
omer named Donati discovered the present
comet approaching slowly towards the sun, in
a northwesterly direction, and it has been in
creasing in brightness as all comets do as it
draws near old Sol. Xo fears are excited Iv
its presence : it is gorgeous beyond tangu.igc
to describe, and is beheld only with a thrill of
admiration. Like a streaming torch of silvery
light, extending fifteen millions of miles in
length through the heavens, it hang evening
after evening gracefully over the coithwest
sky. Its head resembles a ri::g, with a bright
nucleus in the middle, or something like an il
luminated globe, with its intense flame in the
centre. The diameter cf this ting, as measured
by Drof. MitcLe!!, cf Cincinnati, is 13,000
miles. It has been approaching the path of
our planet, with the apparent intention of giv
ing us a friendly brush, and on the 10th Octo
ber it attained to its maximum brilliancy. It
approaches the snn -witit a til flashing be
hind it, and at a certain distance front the
great luminary, it will suddenly turn round to
the other side and Luck out of our planetary
sysUrra in a contrary direction to that by
which it entered. Ia 1S43 a comet appeared
far loss bright than the present on?, but its
t-il whs rcc-.om.-d to be 170 million miles in
length, w hen it wheeled round the snn, it
moved through its curved pr.th with the velo
city cf the lightning's flash. In two short
hours its iunic-osj tail swept through a range
of co less than S,7-i0 millions cf miles. From
the flight of objects on earth, it is impossible
to form a comparative idea of the awful velo
cities cf comets anl other heavenly bodies.
Of the ccmrositicn of comets, the most
learned are ignorant. They must be compos
ed of some matter more subtle than anything
with which we arc acquainted on earth. Stars
are clearly visible through thi3 ccmet's tail,
acd it possesses little, if &t.j, gravity. This
ia deduced from a large comet which appear
ed in I70D, and get entangled among the sat
eiites of Jupiter. It was there arrested for
several weeks, yet its attractive force upon the
satelites was so limited as not to produce tho
slightest effect upon their movements.
Ia ancient times comets were believe! fo hi
proguosticators of dire cvcnt3. One appeared
when Julius Ca-sar was assassinated; another
when Constantinople was taken by the Turks ;
one daring the terrible persecutions in the
reign cf Charles the Filth; and another in
181 1, when all Europe- was deluged in war and
bloodshed ; but no intelligent person has any
superstitious dread of their presence in this
age. From what is known of the insignificant
eGect of the comet ot 1790, it ;.3 reasonable to
inf-r that were a comet to come m collision
with our planet, it would produce no greater
effect than the blast of a bellow c upon the
Rocky Mountains. Some men, however, of
profound acquirements, hive expressed their
belief that our globe at one period was struck
by a comet, and that in consequence of such a

Correspondence of the "Raftsman's Journal.1'
Omaha Cur, X. T-, Sept. 30th, 1S-S8.
Fbie.vd llow: We have busy and exciting
times in Xebraska now, and I have concluded
to give yon a brief description of what is trans
piring in this part of our young, beautiful and
prosperous territory, thinking, perhaps that
the same may, to some extent, amnse, if not
interest yon : and if you think any o the many
readers of the "Journal" would be interested
in the ''passing events" noticed herein, then
you are at liberty to make this public through
the columns of your paper. The excitement,
the gieat, unbounded, unlimited excitement,
is caused by the recent discovery of Gold at
Cherry Creek and Pike's Peak. The great
subject of conversation, go where you will
here, the one that overshadows all others, is
how" and at "what time are you going to the
mines." Business of all kinds appears to be
neglected, and in some places almost entirely
abandoned, so violently does the "yellow
fen" rage, amongst us. The little blaze first
kindled on our borders fr:m a spark of Cherry
Creek fire has been fanned into a great fhmc,
and the whole West appears not to be exempt
from its ravages. Every day men are making
preparations and getting their out-fit ready for
departure thither. Large numbers have al
ready gone, and others are constantly making
preparations, so that a company of 10 or 15
sometimes much larger, starts every two or
three days. Indeed, if things progress for a
nhiie as they are now doing, some of our towns
will be almost depopulated in less than six
months. Oi and Mule teams, with wagons
laden with provisions are passing almost daiiy
on' their way to the "new Eldorado." The
oat-tit of persons starting from here is gener
ally a good and a safj one. One team and
wagon takes enough provisions and stores to
supply four men for from six to ten months.
So by a judicious foresight but few of the
miners or others will be subject to dirt-cutties
such as embarrass the miners at other dig
gings. Any doubts entertained by persons here
of the existence of Gold at Cherry Creek and
Pike's Peak hsvc long since been dissipated.
It is said hers, (and is probably correct) that
the teamsters employed by Knssell & Majors
in the transportation of Government supplies
to L tah, ad desert their posts as soon as they
get ia the vicinity of the gold region.
Alio Legislature of .Nebraska is in special
session, on call of the Governor on the 21st
inst. Parfy lines have been strictly drawn in
tue lower House. The Council is more moder
ate and conservative. Its tendency is Demo
cratic, or rather "Douglas Democrat." About
two thirds of tiie members of the House are
"opposition to the Administration." Both
parties had caucus nominations far the several
oSices to be confered by the House. But the
"opposition" succeeded in electing a Speaker
and all the other officers by near two thirds of
the votes. Both parties are quarreling in the
House over party ouestions. and havn n-.
yet, effected but little
.Matters in tho Territory at this timo appear
to be prosperous. The improvement of tho
country is goiug on rapidly, notwithstanding
tho "hard times." The crops, as a general
thing, are said by the old settlers to be better
than they ever were before in the Territory.
Moro'grain is raised in the Territory this year
than will probably be needed for homo con
sumption. The public Land is being taken up very fast,
in all parts of the Territory where I have beerr
and especially in the southern part of it. The
postponement of the Land Sales in Xebraska
until the Cth of next September, was a source
of great joy, and gave almost universal satis
faction to the squatters of Xebraska. By the
postponement they will be permitted, and will

River, so far as its gold is concerned, contin

the news by the Moses Taylor is right in the
teeth of the supposition that there are any au
riferous deposits in its bed, or ulong its banks,
of sufficient richness to make it worth the
whila to go there, even from comparatively
near-by San Francisco. Hence "the rush"
now is, not for new Caledonia, .but back to old
California. Those who cannot get back ore
kept busy fighting the Indians a speculation
of a character ill calculated to pay.

complete reform is to take place. The capi

! had loafed about Columbia, California, for a

! DESTRUCTION OF THE CSYSTAL PALACE.
The destruction of the Crystal Palace on the
6th inst., was one of the most disastrous cou
fbigralions that New York lias been visited
with in a long time. The calamity has struck
every ode aghast, tor the possibility of such an
event had never been calculated upon. The
peculiar character of the building, constructed
as it was aliiost entirely of iron and glass, ap
peared to bid defiance to the flames, yet its
destruction was more rapid than any building
of wood could possibly have been ; in less than
fifteen miuntes from the time the fire was dis
covered, tho fiames spread with such fearful
rapidity that the immense dome, which has so
long been an ol ject of beauty towering over
the City, and a landmark from every approach,
fell and the work of destruction was complete.
It was like a flash. The great fabric of glass
and iron, with its priceless treasures of art,
were suddenly w iped out of existence as tho'
they had been mere unsubstantial vapor. The
earth has bubbles as the water bath, and this was
one of them. At no other time could the dis
aster have been more" deplorable in its conse
quences than the present. The building itself,
though immensely costly, was ot but seconda
ry importance to the wealth of objects which
it contained. The Thirtieth Annual Exhibi
tion of the American Institute was at its height
and there was a collection of objects of art and
industry v. hose value could Dot be represented
by figures. There were models cf machinery
which have cost years of toil and study, pre
cious inventions, rare gems, exquisite samples
of mechanical ingenuity and skill, and many
products of the higher arts. There were also
cases of splendid jeivelry, of gold and silver
ware of immense value, and innumerable ob
jects which can never be replaced. The en
tire value of the articles destroyed by this ter
rible fire cannot be accurately ascertained, but
it cannot be less thaj halt a million of dollars.
As always I.appens in such cases, there ap
peared to be a fatal concurrence of accidents
to accelcratti the ruin. The fire broke ov:t m
that part of the building where there happen
ed to be the greatest quantity of inflammable
materials ; the apparatus for extinguishing
fires gave out at the moment it was needed
and there was a high wind which sucked the
flames up into the dome and along the galler
ies, where ail sorts of combustible articles
were placed, as if on purpose to feed the de
vouring element. There were in the building
when the alarm was given, some two thousand
persons, and the only consolation to be deri
ved from the great disaster, is that all of these
were enabled to escape without barm. It was
a miracle that no one was killed in the sudden
collapse of the enormous structure.

BALLOON FATALITIES.
The recent unfortunate and probably fatal
balloon ascension ol Mr. Tbnrston, which lias
created such a painful interest throughout the
country, bas also brought out, x through the
columns of the Xewspaper press, many scraps
of history connected with balloon traveling.
The Providence Journal bas compiled quite a
list of futilities, and adds that it does not
know of one distinguished seronaut that bas
not met with a violent death by means of a
balloon :
Among the first who commenced these voy
ages were M. Pilatre and M. Romin, of France.
They made an ascent from Boulogne, June
15, 1785, with a Moutgolfier Balloon, a fire be
ing kindled underneath, and tho balloon as
cending by means of rarefied air. At an
amazing height the balloon took fire, burned
the cords by which the car was suspended, an.l
the unhappy occupants were precipitated to
the earth, dashing them to pieces in a manner
too shocking to mention.
M. Zambeccarri, accompanied by a friend.
made an ascent from the same place, Sept. 2,
1812. On his decent, the balloon became en
tangled in the branches of a high tree, and
ere it could be disengaged, caught fire. The
teronanti, leaped out. Z.mibeccari wss killed
on the spot, and M. Bouoga survived but a
short time.
About tho same time' a mechanician, named
Bittorf, ascended from Manheim. At a con
siderable height, he preceived too late that
his vehicle was damaged. He opened the
valve, descended with great volocity, and was
dashed in pieces against a house.
Madame Blanchard ascended from Tivoll,
July 8th, JS19, during the progress of a fete
there. At the height of Tour hundred feet,
her balloon caught fire. She' was precipitated
upon the pavement and instantly killed.
Mr. Harris a very experienced aeronaut, was
killed May 2lib, 1824. He went up from
City road, London. At tho height of two
miles, he commenced to descend very rapidly,
was precipitated to the earth and dashed to
pieces.
A Mr. Green ascended from Cardiff, July
titii tai'J. iiis body was found some time
after, on the Flat-House shoals, in the centre
of Bristol Channel.
M. Arban, a celebrated French seronant, as
cended from Barcelona, iu Sept., 1S48. Noth
ing was heard of him till the middle of No
vember, when his body wai found near Rosas.
Lieut. Gale ascended from the Hippodrome
of Vincennes, on Sunday, Sep. Sth, 1850.
Some days subsequently, the body was found
in a clump of ferns, bis limbs broken and
mutilated, the face completely eaten away by
dogs and other wild animals. lie bad previ
ously met with several narrow escapes.
James Goulston made an ascent in the eve
ning from the Bel'tevue G.irdecs.Jnne 2d, 1S52.
The Balloon was a new one. forty feet high,
thirty-three feet in diameter, holding twenty -three
thousand cubic feet of gas. It being
cloudy at the time, the car was lost to view in
two minutes. He fell from his vehicle in at
tempting to descend at the town of Lees ; a
considerable quantity of blood and brains,
spattered over a wall, marked the spot where
he struck the earth.
Mr. Knight ascended from Bombay, Decem
ber 14th, 1852, in the presence of a large con
course or natives, amongst whom was the
Rajah of Dar, who promised the seronaut two
hnndred rupees, if it went up and came down, a-
ain. cf which the Rajah seem to entertain
great doubts. The balloon traveled straight
out to sea, and Mr. Knight has not since been
heard from.
In September, 1S51, M. Merle and a com
panion were carried off by a balloon that broke
from its moorings. They ascended to such a
height that Merle was frozen to death, and the
other descended in the greatest peril.
Mr. Timothy Winchester made an ascent
from Norfolk, Ohio, in August, IS 55, starting
in geod spirits, and amid the cheers of a large
concourse of people, since which time he has
not been heard fiotn. He may have gone on an
excursion to the Xortti Star, as tiie last seen
of him he was passing rapidly over Lake Erie.
