Our opp.ue... In the Field.

Never were the Locofocos of Ohio
more busy, more earnest in their endea-
vors to succeed in State election than
they are at present. The ablest and
most effective speakers are travelling
over the State to cheer up the faithful,
and win over, If possible, the doubtful.
DIR. E. B. OIds, former Bank man. but
who went over TO the Locofocos few
years ago, knowing he could never
again establish himself in the confidence
of the Wings after his dishonest, fraud
ulent Bank transactions, is now lead
ing radical and has some twenty ap-
pointments for addressing the people.
GEO. E. PUGH, c. L. VAbLANDINGHAM,
and ]. Mccormick, have been ordered
to traverse this section Of the State, and
teach the POOR, ISERABLE E
BLOCK HEAD MODELS of the BE-
N1eHrED DISTRICT the error of their
ways-the folly Of supporting citizen
of their own county and district for Gov
ernor as long as the RESERVE shall Of
fer a candidate.
They are posted to speak in Gallipo-
lis October 9Th. The time is certainly
very opportunely chosen, it being the
first day of the fall term of the Common
Pleas Court. The same gentlemen are
advertised 10 speak at Pomeroy Octo-
Der 4th; Jackson Oct. I'd; and at Bur-
lington Oct. 7th.
In secret our opponents are not less
active than in public. Let Wings go
and do likewise. Let us accomplish by
thorough and effective organization
for ourselves what our opponents are
endeayoring TO do at the expense Of so
much time and money. Never had the
Wings of Southern Ohio stronger in
ducemeHts TO labor. Much is expected
of us by our friends elsewhere-let US
more than meet their expectations. We
can do it-shall wei Let every Wing
from this time till the election labor
earnestly to bring out full Wing vote,
and that will result in WING VICTORY.

Our Comfy r,cket.

The nominees of the Wing nomi-
mating elections have been placed at
the head OF our columns as part OF
the regular Wing ticket. We have
not thought it necessary before TO
refer to the candidates individually,
as all are known personally or by
reputation toamost Of the citizens OF
the county. The nominating voie
was lasge, and the majorities for the
successful candidates, though not
large, were respectable. Since the
result became known, we have heard
OF but one instance where the unsuc-
cessful have refused TO be governed
by the decision. Doubtless the warm
friends of others have expressed the
disappointment which friend may
keenly feel, and express without re-
proach, but in no case, but the one
referred to, is there a disposition TO
oppose the ticket. This is what was
expected f.om the character Of the
msa-they are Wings whose fidelity
had been proved, and who had con-
tributsd largely to many a Whig
victory in old Gallia.
PENNEL CHERINGFoN is placed be-
fore the people of GalIia as the Wing
candidate for Representative. Mr..
C. represented this and Jackson coun-
ties last year. He was then nomina-
ted without solicitation on his part
and was elected by a handsome ma
iority. He gained the confidence
and respect of all the Whig members
Of the last Legislature, as we happen
10 know, for his firmness as Wing
and judicious conduct as a Legislator
As it has been the usuage Of our par.
~ in this county TO return member
the second term, if he desires, we
anticipate that Mr.. CHERINGToN will
receive the full Wing vote of the
county.

TERRIBLE STORM IN FLoRIDA.-
Immense Destruction Of Property
and Crops-Ssrious Loss of Life
Shiprecks, 9-c.-The following we
find in the New York Herald OF
Saturday:
Advices were received in this city
Yesterday from ApaIachicola, ST.
Marks, Newport, Tallahassee, and
other places in Florida, descriptive
Of the hurricane and flood on the
24th and 25ih Of August. on the
gulf coast of Florida. 1t is said a
more appalling and terrible hurricane
has never been known in that region.
The lighthouses at Cape San Bias
and Dog Island are known to have
been blown down, and many lives
lost.
Great Iears are apprehended as 10
vessels ia the Gulf, and it is expected
that the southern coast and keys Of
Florida are covered with wrecked
vessels, and that hundreds of human
beings have been drowned. The sea
rose several feet higher than at any
former period; the cotton fields OF
middle Florida are laid waste, and it
is not anticipated that more than
hall a crop will be saved, and il is
feared that the injury has extended
into Georgia.
At Apalachicola the sea rose five
or six feet in the streets, and, with
the wind, destroyed many buildings
at the southern end of the town, and
as far up as the Charleston Bank
agency, at the corner OF Centre
street, which house was also destroy
ed. At Dog Island several lives
were lost and the British ship John
Bryant was lost. A Spanish brig
was lost at the Haulover, and II
persons drowned from on board Of
her. There are but two or three
buildings not unrOofed or injured at
ApaIachicola. Groceries and dry
goods in stores were destroyed to a
great extent. At Old Woman's
Bluff a steamboat on the ways had
her cabin blown of. The steamer
Magnolia was lost.
We learn from ST. Marks that the
water rose above all previous water
marks upon the old fort. Portions
of this old forti6cation, which had
withstood the floods of ages, were
swept away, and the buildings within
it all destroyed. The customhouse
books and papers are all gone, moth
ing being left OF the establishment
but the iron safe. All the houses at
old St. Marks generally small frame
houses OF little yalue) were carried
away. The water is stated TO have
risen at least twelve feet above ordi-
nary tide level.

PHILADELPHIA. Sep. u.

A serious disturbance took place
yesterday in the upper part Of Ches-
ter county, about A miles from Par
kersburgh, attended with fatal re-
suits. II appears that Mr.. Edward
Gorsuch, OF Baltimore county, aiten-
ded by his son and several officers
from Baltimore and this city, went
into the neighborhood on Wednes-
day, for the purpose Of arresting two
fugitive slaves residing there. The
arrest was for some reason delayed
until Yesterday, and in the meantime
a large number OF the negroes of the
vicinity armed themselves and pre-
pared to make resistance. The OIL
GERS upon approaching the house
where the fugitiyes were concealed,
were fred upon and Mr.. Gorsuch
and his son Dickson Gorsuch killed,
and report says the Sheriff and one
of bis officers dangerously wounded.
Quite a riot followed, and much ex-
element prevails in consequence =
There are many flying rumors, but
these facts are believed not to be ex-
aggeratsds

Common Pleas Judges. He is a
native Of our county, and intimately
acquainted with lis people and IN.
tsresis. We,look upon his election
as certain.
JosEPH DRoUrILARp is the Wing
candidate for Clerk. His quali6ca-
tons have been acquired by long ex-
.perience. and they are such as have
been approved by the people Of Gal
liza. 1t is not likely any opposition
will be mads to his election.
OF !. R. CALoHAn, candidate Tor
Treasurer. it would be superrogatory
TO speak, to those acquainted with
his peculiar fitness for the post Of
Treasurer. Mr.. C. never before has
been a candidate before the people
FOR Office. The responsible Office Of
Treasurer could not be trusted in
safer or better hands. We presume
our opponents understand this and
will not venture a candidate against
him.
ALEXANDER LoGUE, the present
Sheriff, had no opposition for the
nomination, and all opposition 10 his
election will prove useless. He has
proved worthy and acceptable Off
Ger.
S. B. DRoUuLARD has served one
term as county Recorder, and the
neatness that the records display and
the promptness with which he has
discharged the duties are sufficient
evidence Of his capability. His was
a nomination aft to be.made"
LEMUEL PERRY has performed the
duties Of Prosecuting Attorney with
credit to himself and advantage to
the county, for two or three terms
and it is well to elect him again.
We hear of no opposition.
ISAAC CARTER is nominated for Coun-
tv Commissioner. The section OF
the county in which Mr.. G. resides,
furnishes no member OF the Board Of
Commissioners. Mr.. C, was the
only Wbig presented in the lower
end OF the county, and he received
the support of that section-let him
receive the support Of all sections on
the second Tuesday in October.
RoBr. STAFFORD. jr. is again the
nominee for Coroner. His nomina-
ton was without opposition. His
election is certain.
Such is Gallia county Wing tick
ct. We intend TO support it as a
whole, and in every particular-give
it our influence and our vote. Such
we believe to be the duty of every
Whig. We shall be greatly disaP-
pointed if any considerable number
Of those calling themselves Wings
can be seduced or cajoled by any
influence or combination of infuen-
ces, into the support Of anything else
than this ticket, the whole ticket.

Railway shares continued 10 decline.
Foreign securities are unsettled and
heavy, and the transactions limited.
American stocks are almost without

only change is a slight decline in
