The Richmond Dispatch remarks I:

There are many Of our readers, those Of the
younger class, who have heard much of William
Cobbett but have never seen any specimen Of his
very singular powers. He wrote more than al
most any one man that ever lived His writings,
If collected and published, would fill an hundred
octave volumes. Yet they have sunk almost into
oblivion. This arises from the nature of the to-
pics on which he wrote They were generally of
political character, extremely interesting to
the generation in which they occurred, but not
carrying their interest any further. Of all the
voluminous writings which he gave to the world,
that which is the most humble and least pretend
ing, is likely to be longest remembered and most
frequently read; we allude to his American Gar.
dener, work which we have always regarded az
one among the most valuable of its kind. We
have always regretted that the efforts of his pow
| erful mind were confined to the 1eeting political
discussions Of the day, and did not take wide,
range His letters, during the American war
from 1912 to 1916, are among the finest speci.
mems Of rough, strong, inexpugnable argumen,
we have ever seen. They were Of great service
to the American cause in England, since they
took off the veil with which the British pres,
sought to cover the numerous defeats Of the Bri
| fish army and navy, and exposed them as they
really were to the British public.

The Concert Last Night.

The entertainment given by the Columbia
Musical Association was one of the most salts
factory and successful we ever had the pleasure
of attending. The selections were judiciously
made, and the performances exqusitely fine. We
never saw more attentive audience, nor the in
dications Of more general appreciation. We shall
not attempt to compliment individual performers
where the efforts Of all were so successfully di
rected to the grand purpose of rendering the
whole series Of performances in an effective
and captivating manner-except in the instance
OF Mrs. MULLER. This lady's appearance and
and modest and graceful demeanor at once be-
spoke our admiration; and in her style of execu-
ton there is q prettiness, an ease and grace,
that cannot fail to win the general favor.
She sings with great skill, and in voice of
richest sweetness There are less effort and
less noise in her performances than we have
sometimes witnessed in the efforts of great vocal
lists whose advent is at times pre-announced
with high praise; but there is more melody, more
gentle and winning expression, and very consider
able energy. Those who admired the quiet and
captivating execution of Amalia Patti, SO striking
in its contrast with the powerful Parodi, will
appreciate the full import of our remarks
The hall was well Nflled with refined and in
telligent audience. A second effort will, beyond
doubt, be better attended The people of this
community require but to know the nature of the
treats presented by this Association to respond
freely to its every call upon their patronage.

Expectation OF American specie.

The exports Of specie from New York from
September 25th to Ocrober I'd, were S462, 1913 ;
previously reported $20,652,870 Total for
1862 $21, lit, s6S.--Erch.
1t does seem that our people should give this
subject some attention. We have had the Cali.
fornia mines some three years, and yet our bust
ness facilities are not increased. The balance of
trade has confessedly gone against this country
for many years, and our specie must supply the
deficit This may be good policy in some peoples
minds But so far as the world has had exper-
fence, it goes directly antagonistical to such a
course. Spain with Mexico, Central and South
America as her tributaries, from one of the most
powerful became one Of the most dependent
countries in the world, mainly because her gold
and silver were absorbed by other States, while
her own people lost the stimulus to honorable
exertion. --Syracass Star.

The following remarks Of the Intelligencer 90.
incide entirely with our own information on this
subject change in the votes of the people on
State affairs has not been expected by any Wing
as necessary consequence Of the preference Of
the people for General Scott, The Intelligencer
says:
Elections are to be held this day, in Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio, and Indiana. In the two former q
Judge of the Supreme Court and member OF
the Board of Public Works are the only State
officers to be chosen. In the latter a Governor
Lieutenant Governor, and other officers are tc
be elected. Representatives to Congress are to
be chosen in ALL
We have never expected the Wings to be able
to carry the State ticket either in Ohio or Indi-
ana. The chances are all against them.
In Ohio, Mr.. Caldwell, the Dem cratic candi-
date for the Supreme Bench, is one of the most
popular men in his party. We have not the vote
at hand by which he was chosen when full
bench of Supreme Judges was chosen, in Octo-
Der, 1851; but our impression is that he beat his
| competitor something like thirty thousand votes,
| and ran five thousand votes ahead of Gov. Wood
himself. In drawing for terms with his colleagues
last winter he drew the shortest, Zone year. and
was subsequently nominated for reelection. As
his Wing competitor Mr.. Haynes) is new man,
and not very generally known through the
State he can hardly be expected to cope with
such an antagonist The Wings of Ohio have
never been remarkable for their alacrity in com
ing out to the polls at State election and,
even if they were, they would naturally be dis
couraged in an unequal contest like the present.
The contest is not calculated TO enlist the feel
ings Of the masses, and we consequently antici-
pate small vote in Ohio to-day, and the election
| of the entire Democratic State ticket. We shall,
however, consider the result to-day as no critic
rion by which to judge Of the strength of Gen.
Scott in Ohio, and any one who does so will find,
in November, that he has largely miscalculated.
In Indiana, Mr. Wright, the present Governor
and Democratic candidate for reelection, was
elected in l849 by 6,760 majority, and has so
borne himself that no one acquainted with Indi-
ana politics anticipates his defeat. He is a pop
ular, plausible man; makes q good figure on the
stump, and in many respects is better calculated
to win votes than Mr.. McCarty, his straight-for-
ward and practical competitor We have let
ter before US from we'll informed correspondent
in Indiana which says Wright will beat Nc
Carly largely. His Methodist Wing friends win
not abandon him -

Trinity Church, series of highly interesting
and instructive lectures. The one on Sunday
was rich treat to all who had the good pleasure
of hearing it. Mr.. McG is one of the most elo-
quent ministers in the society. His arguments
are clear and distinct, and his manner of speak
ing very interesting and impressive. They will
be continued until further notice, at o'clock
every Sabbath afternoon.

knowledge, ever existed in our town. There is,
however, the old Farmers g. Mechanics, one OF

which continues to render to our merchants and
others much good service.

sad accident befell him.
Disorderiy Conduct.--Last night, while the
vigilant fire company, were on their way to the
fire in your city, an onset was made upon them
by party Of individuals in the First Ward, and q
portion of their apparatus taken from them. Not
feeling willing to be embroiled in street fight,
they retreated for home, leaving their apparatus
in the hands Of the assailants 1t was, however
through the influence of some gentlemen, return

law which will exclude disorderly persons from
fire companies, and prevent them from running
with the engines?

General Scott left Tifin this morning, after
addressing the people who crowded around the
cars. He expressed himself as greatly fatigued,
bnd thanked God for the institution Of the Sab
aath, which on the morrow would be to him q
welcome day Of rest
. Throughout the entire route TO Sandusky he
was greeted by the same demonstrations of en-
thusiasm which had heretofore characterized his
receptions.
At Sandusky, large concourse was gathered,
despite the rain. Hon. L. Cook welcomed Scott
to the City of the Lakes; after which he was es-
corted by military and fremen's procession to
the Exchange Hotel, where public dinner had
been provided. At night bonfres were kindled
and much enthusiasm was displayed, though the
rain fell in torrents.
