JOHN SLOANE, Of Ohio
1he Adams party here, piucked up little spir-
IL the day before yesterday, on the strength of
letter from Ohio, saying that Sloane had been re-
etrcted by votes. The crumb Of comfort was
small, and II Sloane were not so infamous A crea-
fnre, we could almost wish that our opponents
couidhave the triumph fre-eiecting him. There
is, however, not word OF truth in il. Sloane has
been beaten by majority of 500 votes. In his
own county (Wayne) he was beaten $50 votes: and
in Stark (rom whence the Adams letter announc-
ing his reelection comes) nearly 200. In Stark
county, at the last election, Sloane beat the gen-
tleman who has now beaten him upwards of 1000
votes The dirty business in which he has since
been engaged has Disguised his constituents and
they have dismissed him from Office and from their
commence ID.

en- officer at Cantonmcnt Towson, for the follow.
ing account of the murder of two of the soldiers
belonging to the garrison at that post by the Paw

the aggressors. :" The facts stated" saws the
writer, " are derived from those concerned, and
viii agree with the report of the commanding off

Too much praise cannot be bestowed or the
small detachment ofthe U. S troops, citizens, and
friendly Indians for the promptness with which
they turned out 10 avenge the death of the muir
dered soldiers; and the success which has attend
cd their activity, WILL trust, have a happy
elect in preventing repetition of the outrage.
