Pennsylvania and Ohio.

In Ohio, Chase, the 9 Republican candi-
date. representing. abolitionisnl and other
isms-.s no more slave States" &c.-is elec-
ted Governor by large majority. The Amer
ican party was unable to save the State. The
democrats were also left in the rear. Fanat-
icism rules Ohio, for the time
In Pennsylvania, Arnold Plumer, demo-
crat, is elected Canal Commissioner by a
large majority, say $4,000 There was no
other State Office to be filed His opponent,
Nicholson, represented the isms, and the
leaders of the American party attempted to
make the party vote for him; but we Judge
that many of the sound and honest men of
the organization, voted with the democrats.
A democratic victory in Pennsylvania on
the eve of Presidential contest is always
significant. g As goes Pennsylvania, so goes
the Union," has long been proverb. The
democratic victory now may influence the
nomination at the Democratic National Con-
vention to be held in Cincinnati next spring.
With Buchanan up for President, the party
would no doubt sweep the State of Penusyl-
vania by tremendous majority; and if he
should not be elected, he would be the first
candidate, we believe, falling of success, with
Pennsylvania to back him.
I That the friends of Mr.. Buchanan viii en-
deavor to effect his nomination, is certain He
is statesman of talents, Of reputation, and
of spotless private life. His perfect famili
arity with the foreign relations Of the country
would ct him well for the Presidency in these
Troublesome times; while on the slavery qnes

would find him a strong man with the people

time, in consequence of the frightful injuries
he received from being bitten by ferocious
horse in the Crimea. Dance was engaged at
Balaklava drawing water for troops, and
while SO occupied saw horse. With mane and
tail erect. galloping furiously toward him. In
a moment the horse seized him in his mouth.
threw him down, and kneeling en- his body
with bis fore legs, commenced tearing his
clothes of, lacerating his breast and shoulder

out his hand to protect the lower part of his
body, when the animal seized il in his mouth
and bit it off, Some of his comrades coming
to his succor, armed with stout clubs, the fe-
rocious beast was beaten of. Before, how
ever, the horse could be secured, he bit off
the finger Of another man and severely inju-
red the shoulder of the veterinary surgeon of
the regiment Hew Of Arab breed. Dances
arm was amputated just above the wrist; he
was soon afterward sent to England. 1t was

THE CASE OF KYMA NooRE.

are filled with details of the discovery of
the body of Miss Moore, whose sudden
disappearance not long since, caused so
much excitement. 1t will be remem-
bered how town meetings were held,
rewards offered, ponds dragged, woods
secured, and houses searched in vain.
But now, after the event has almost
dropped from the public mind, the tind.
ing Of the corpse invests it with q new
interest. The circumstances OF the dis
covery are described by the Rochester
Democrat as follows: ID .-..
"About 5 o'clock yesterday Monday
afternoon, the city was electrified by Q
report that the body Of Emma Moore had
been found. As the report spread, peo'
ple gathered in crowds, and in fifteer
