EDITORS' CORRESPONDENCE.
, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 16, 1862.

ASDiANA, loo@
Messrs. GALES 4 SEAToN In your paper of the
llth instant you speak of the elections soon to come
off, and, among other things, say: {" "Tse general
elections in the great States Of PENNSYLVANIA and
OHIO will come off in the second week in October
This Hoosier State Of ours in the family Of thirty
one, acknowledges but four States, believe, as Of
greater magnitude than herself which, it strikes me-
gives her some claim to little consideration, though
her home be some distance out towards sundown
And it now happens that her State election comes
off on Me same day with that of the aboye-named
States, under the provisions of our present Constitu
tion, now about year old. At that election we
are to choose a Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
eleven Members Of Congress-, Treasurer, Auditor,
and Secretary Of State, Reporter and Clerk of the
Supreme Court, four Judges Of the same, Circuit
and District Judges for the entire State, Supern-
tendent of Common Schools, one hundred Repre-
sentatiycs in the State Hegsate, sixteen oreigtcen
Senators, together with numerous county officers
This is decidedly the most important election ever
held in the State, and we have never had one that
was more hotly contested than this will be. Our
Whigfrends expect, with great confidence to show
their Wing brethren of the Union that, if they have
not achieved complete victory, they have captured
many Of the positions now held by the adversary
party, and SO disabled and dispirited him that in
November they will make perfect rout of his
leeion

THE STATE OF THE CANVASS.

A very marked change has taken place within
few weeks in the appearance of the Presidential
campaign. The Wines have become very active
and enthusiastic. Their public meetings are large
and spirited and frequent They are all united.
They will exert their whole strength, and they are
gaining converts very day.
Their principles and their men are popular; and
they are taking great pans to spread information
concerning both. They are appealing to the good
sense and the good feelings of the peoples and the people
are responding in the right way their appeal And
thus that the ball rolls on gathering size and velocity
as it rolls.
The Democracy, the other hand, are daily losing
ground Their attempts to get up show of enthusiasm
fail. Their township meetings are slim Their pole
rasings failures And they dare not rely upon them
selves for State Conventions but conscious of their
own weakness, appeal to the nsghbong cities for help
This is nothing strange 1t is the reasonable conse-
quence of nominating for the Presidency whom the
Democratic party never desired to be nominated and
whom they heard Of This experiment of running
unknown and Insignificant men for the Presidency will
not answer.
Then, again. the Democracy have not single principle
to rally for not Some Of them 90 for principle
admit as in New Jersey for the tariff But they have
uphill work going for the tariff and against the tariff
pary-fora Wing measure and against the Wing party
for the tariff and for the anttar candidate for the Pre-
sidency That is crooked Of game that asprants
for Office must often play hntit succeed with hnnssA
straightforward people
The truth is the Democrats have neither prin
cples to work for They have rayng object and no
rallyng cry Having nothing to work for, their masses
will not work. Their people-especiay the people in
the countrysee nothing to work for and consequently
they not working Hence the great want of enthusi-
nb he
where 1t is very apparent that they going to make
but feeble stand against the resistess march Of the
great Whig column.

LAKE NIcARAoUA.--The following description of Lake
Nicaragua is from work published in London by John
Baily, long resident in Nicaragua:
The Lake of Nicaragua is fine expanse Of water ex-
tending about ninety miles from extremity to the
other, the greatest breadth being about forty
mean thirty miles Near the shores thats to say
the distance Of hundred yards from the beach, there
is generally depth of two fathoms Of water in other
parts between FIVE and fifteen fathoms are found.
Several groups of isets and islands diversity
the surface of the latter Zapatera Ometepet and Ma
dera are the largest being several miles in circuit Ia
patera is mountainous, rising nearly to 1000 feet in
height and uninhabited. 0metepet is inhabited by an
industrious Of Indians who raise maize, &C., and
possess cattle. MADEIRA is joined to 0mctepet by
neck of lans low that when strong breeze in from
the northeast it is frequently oyer6owed in form it is
huge mound of than 1000 feet high every where
thcky covered with wood, afording great supply of
excellent cedar timber of great dimensions On Ometepet
is remarkable mountain, that viewed from the
shore presents the figure Of almost perfect cone rising
from the surface of the water at elevation of than
5lO0 feet Unlike the adjacent MADEIRA it is bare Of wood
showing only few scattered here and there but
from its symmetrical proportions grand and pleasing
object distinguishable by mariners the Pacific at
great distance Solenname and Sapote islands much
smaller than the preceding occupied but cultvabe
The other small groups merit particular notice. and
while there much good land the margins Of the lake
applicable to all purposes they will scarcely ever be look
ed at with view TO utility"

done to accomplish IT. The electors take the field this
week in this district Arrangements made for hold
ing meetings in the district, and they will be the
order Of the day all the State We feel confident
that all that is necessary to carry the State by large
majority for ScoTT and GRAHAM is that the real point ut
issue including the comparative fitness Of the respective
candidates should be brought forciby the minds Of
the people; and this will be done. Every intelligent
Wing meet with speaks with animation of the brighten
ing prospect throughout the Southern States that is OBJ
servabe within the last few days have ever since the
nomination looked confidently for commencement Of
powerful reaction We satisfied it has commenced ;
and venture predict short is the time to the I'd Of
November that in North Carolina Tennessee Kentucky,
Louisiana and Georgia at least the Whig spirit in the
whig rands will before that day increase to an enthu-
sasm for scoTT and GRAHAM that will be resistess The

happy illusions to the Generals services in the last war;
and to the wounds which he received from the muske
