Chambersb,irg (Pa. Repository.
Indiana.-Noah Noble is elected Gov
ernor Of this State, by the following
vote:
Noah Noble (Clayl 22,62O
Milton Stapp (Clay) 6,756
Judge Read jackson 1900
1t will be seen that the Clay party has
an immense ascendancy over the jack
sonians in that State. 1t is notifying
therefore to reflect, that owing to the in
judicious conduct of our friends, ttco and
probably three Jackson representatives
have been elected to Congress.-Mr.
NlcCarty has been elected In place OF
Judge Test, by mere nominal majority,
in consequence of another friend OF Mr..
Clay Offering as a candidate. The COM
bined Clay vote in the district was near
ly double that of the Jackson candidate;
nevertheless, the latter was elected. So,
likewise, Mr.. Carr is elected over Mr..
Jennings, by very lean majority, in
consequence of multiplicity Of Clay
Candidates. many as .four-And in
the third district, where they run single
handed, it is doubtful whether Boone
o. or Law co. has succeeded. The e.
lection for Governor shows that the vote
Of the State is decidedly iii favor of Mr..
Clay-as does also the returns for the
State Legislature, in which the friends
of Mr.. G. constitute majority. A Sen
ator to Congress is to be elected from this
State the ensuing winter.

rain fell in the northwest section of this
county, than has been experienced there
for twenty or thirty years. In Path

Pleasant Iron Works, on that stream,
and the dam of Roxbury Forge. on the
Cenodoguinet, we learn, are swept off,
and no doubt many mills and bridges,

damaged by the flood. Considerable
damage was sustained in RoXbury and
Strasburg, and along all the runs and
drafts in the neighborhood of the noun
tain. The torrents from the mountain
80 suddenly inundated the houses in low
situations in Strasburg, that horses had
to be used to carry out the inhabitants
This is the fourth great freshet that has
occurred in this county the present sea-
son. The consequences of so much rain
are n superabundance of vegetation,
and the prevalence of autumnal fevers.
