NJ. EHtoT We have not the official re.
turns in this county, but know the result
within 2 or votes. The antiNebraska,
whig, and know nothing ticket has majori-
ty of 100 in the county. The old line Ne
braska democrats faced the music manfully,
and did not vary but or on the entire
vote for state treasurer, rep. in congress,
and rep. to the state legislature Strawn
runs little ahead of bay, and Armstrong u
Little ahead of Mccormick. In this precinct
d'oniiac) the vote stands, Miller, 81,
Moore Il, Norton 93, Drake 20, Strawn o.,
Day %, Armstrong 20, Mccormick Gs.
But New Michigan knocked us crazy. There
it stands Miller SO, Moore 8, Norton Il,
Drake 10. Strawn Il, Day Y, Armstrong,
10, Mccormick 3, from which you see the
vote on both sides was pretty uniform. In
county officers it was wociully split up The
wings have elected sheriff by about 10
majority; the democrats coroner and coun-
ty surveyor.

The Etcct;uu,

The Election has resulted, as we antici-
pated, in the defeat of the democracy, but
we confess the route is far more total aud
overwhelming than we had looked for at
never rains but it pours," is the old saying,
and il is verified in this case The flood of
fusion and abolitionism has swept everything
before it, and dismayed at its approach, the
democracy seem to have forsakcn even that
which, by little cXertion and irmncss.
might have been saved. Our whole county
ticket is defeated by four or five hundred
majority, our representative ticket by one
hundred, our candidate for congress by a
thousand or two and even Col. Moore, for
state Treasurer seems TO be defeated. The
probability is, we have elected but two of
our candidates for congress, and have lost
the lower house of the legislature. Such a
defeat the Illinois democracy have never
met before, and it will require more devotion
to principle, more selfsacriiiins and forbear-
ance, and more laying aside of personal and
local feeling and prejudice than we are ac.
custom TO to recover from it.
Bat that the democracy will recover from
it, let us not for moment doubt. 1t is im-
possible that the discordant clements that
have overwhelmed us can hang together
The abolitionists and Know Nothings have
yielded everything to the wings to secure
this victory, but hereafter Let any one of
these factions undertake to lead off, and the
phalanx is at once dissolved. Whiggcry is
no more nativism now than ever it was. nor
is aboltionism whggcry. The issues at the
next election will be more direct and definite.
Kansas will by that time have decided
against slavery, and then the naked question
will come up on non-ii.tervcntion and abiding
by the compromises of the Constitution and
adherence to the Union, or aggression
and disunion. The friends of the Union of
all parties at the north will then unite on the
national platform Of the democracy, and ma
tiyism and abolitionism will sink to their for
mcr insignlicancc. The movement has al
ready commenced at the east, and the result
is inevitable Let the democracy never
despair Our principles are right and must
triumph. "Truih is mighty, and will
prevail
We subjon such returns as we have re-
ceyed up to going TO press.
In sale COan'y.- The following returns
arc generally unofficial, but sufficiently cor.
rect to indicate the result.

The nock island n. r.. Accident.


We copy below from the Joliet T-ae D.
mocrat, a list lin which we have made some
corrections) of the killed and injured by the
appalling accident that occurred on the Rock
Island railroad last week.
In giving our account OF the accident last
week, we were misled by the passengers from
whom we had most Of our information, as to
the locality whore it occurred. 1t was six
miles above Morris, instead of Marscilles,
and near the Minooka station.
We have heard Of no investigation having
yet been made in reference to the true cause
Of the accident, although we hope thor
ough aud searching one will be made. We
believe the idea at first held out that the
breaking Of an axle of the engine was the
cause is generally secuted, and if the loco
motive was thrown Off by the horse that was
killed at the time, the road not being fenced,
it presents case in which the company arc
not only liable to heavy damages, but are al.
so in q high degree c nsurable. In any case,
it is due to the sufferers and the public, that
the real facts should be thoroughly siitcd and
made known.
This is the more imperative from the fol-
low extract from correspondent Of the Mis-.
souri, Rcpublican, which is being largely
copied in the papers Of this a d other states,
and although we know the picture is much
exaggerated it presents case which the
company itself is bound to meet in sclfde-
fence by thorough investigation.
The train was running at the rate of thir-
ty miles an hour-the engine under full
head of steam--the running gear all in good
ordcr-a horse being upon the track, the
Engineer, to crafty Il !iendish and malignant
spirits in torturing the animal, by pursuing
him and throwing him off the track with
the "cow catcher found the horse was not
to be distanccd so easily, but kept on his
course until he reached bridge; here the
horse stumbled; no planks were laid across
the slccpcrs; he fell headong through the
timbcrs and lodged, with the hind legs and
part OF the body upward. In this position
the valiant Engineer came upon him. The
cow-catchcr, when 1t struck the horse, broke
and bent down, aud instantly the locomotive
was thrown off the embankment--th bag
gage cars lcapcd upon one another and were
broken to pieces.
The locomotive, in its descent, had made IA
complete sumcrsct; one of the passenger
cars, full Of human beings was precipitatcd
down the bank and fell upon the engine
the scalding steam at once filed the car, the
passengers were in contact with it, and such
a scene was presented as beggars all descrp-
ton. The flesh was peeled from the limbs
eyes protrudcd from the sockets-the
flesh OF mans hand found sticking to the
side Cf the car--al who were in that car
have either died or suffered so horribly that
death viii be a relief to them. The shrieks
Of the wounded and dying went up in the
spirit Of agony and despair

PRoGREss OF THE ILL. CESTRAL r. R.-Th,

PROGRESS OF THE Ill. CENTRAL II. R.--Thc
Chicago 7ribnnc of Tuesday says:
Mr.. Mason, the Chief Engineer and Su.
pcrintcndcnt Of this road, has just returned
from weeks reconnaissance on the main line
of the road, opposite st. Louis. At this
time there remain but about Az miles of the
road to be completed, and on which three
separate parties of tract; layers have been
engaged, to which another party was added
on yesterday.
There is every prospect that the road will
be open from Cairo to st. Louis, in connec-
ton with the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
by the 10Th of November, as we have preyi.
ously stated, and that by the same time, the
road will be in full operation between our
own city and Nandalia,
During Mr.. Mason's late tour, he has been
accompanied by WILLIAM II. OSBORNE, Esq,
Of New York, recently elected u Director of
the road He expresses much surprise at
the magnitude and extent of tho work which
hns been accomplished in constructing the
road between Frccport and Galcna, and on
