The Prospect.

We have the most cheering accounts as to the
prospects of the Winchester ticket from every
part of the State and from unmistakeable indica.
tons its triumphant success may be put down
as a fixed fact. We publ shed (says the Aexan-
dra Gazette) an extract of letter received
from the northwestern part of the State from an
intelligent and seiiable source, few DAYS ago,
in relation to the present political canvass in the
State. We have since then had letters from the
Piedmont country, and from the West. which
speak the same language. They assure us that
the American msvc'ucnt and the American prin-
cpes, are sympath1ed with largely outside of
the order thai the order itself is increasing in
numbers; that with many of the Democrats there
is great lukewarmness and ndispositon to vote
for the Stanton nominees, and that with union,
barmony, and proper exertion Mr. Wise and his
colleagues can be beaten by q large majority, and
will be beaten. We feel confident that this
suit will be attained. The American party will
show by their principles and their action, that
they deserve the confidence of the whole people,
irrespective of former political denominations.
Kossuth on the Death of the Gear.
letter from kossuth on the death of the Car,
is very severe on the demonstrations in the Brit
ish capital upon its announcement there. He
says:
The rich people of London were enjoying the
performance Of the fashionable L'etoiie d. Nord
and Just in the midst of the scene when Car
Peter the Great presents himself dead drunk. the
manager comes forward & considers il his "agree
able duty to inform the ladies and gentlemen that
the death Of his Imperial Majesty, Car Nicholas
has been Just officially announced in Parliament"
Upon this tremendous cheering and hurraing,
and clappng hands, and waving hankerchefs,
and singing 'God Save the Queen, and "Pdrtant
pour la Syrie," &c.
IA strange sight, forsooth :" We, on side
when after a hot day Of battle, bravely contested
aud dearly won we found the cory corpse of dis
tipguished enemy the battlefield mounted
though our blood has been by the battles rage
and the JOY of yietory.we carried him TO his grave
with all the honers could bestow; and our sterI
warriors who, a moment before. faced all the hor
rors of death With a smile Of contempt on the
heroic brow, marched with eyes downcast in me
ditatiop and with solemn silence near the bier o
the fallen foe.
And here we see community, one of the pre-
tended standard bearers of Christian civilization
carried away to bacchantic gambols and prank
by 10y at the tidings of the death of man who
had he but died year ago, before England wa
vet drifted to war. would have put the Court o
England aud all the fashionable circles in mourn
ing for forty days. in spite of all the misdeed
and crimes of his former career, in spite OF To

MEDITATIONs AMONG THE ToMBS-A FREMONT
TIoN.-The Democracy of Franklin Hill, i'll this
city, have had premontion of their approach
ing doom. They announced in the last Rcpnb
lican atthey would hold meeting Saturday
night at Terry's at which sundry gentlemen
would speak. We don't know whether tn meet
ing took place or not, but we were struck with
the Appropriateness of the place selec ted for
their assemblage. The instincts of ma are re-
markably strong, and instinct has prom pied the
select ola Cemetery for the convocati on of the
troubled spirits of the Democracy of Frank
lin Hill. Its selection must have been the re-
suit of premonition they have had of their fu-
ture destiny. \ vision of their impending ruin
has appeared to them; their political winding
sheet, and grave have been revealed to their
startled gaze; they have observed the hand writ
ing on the wall; they have seen 'Sam," and now
with mournful hearts they bend their steps to the
dismal but appropriate region of GRAY: YARD,
where beneath the shadow of its monuments and
tombs they will sit them down, and render each
other whatever of coup sci and consolation they
can summon to their aid.
We hope they will derive comfort an6t collsola-
ton from their cancellations among the tombs. -
and that they may, as far possible, b eco mc re-
signed to the cruel fate which will shor y consign
them forever to their political gra%es Hank

Chicago, MAY, 24.-Accounts reached
thi. city last night of a most terrific hurricane
and whirlwind in the town of jefferson, Cook
county, and other places north and west Of
here. On Tuesday afternoon a revolving.
funnel shaped cloud passed swiftly along near
the ground about sixteen miles north of here,
carrying up large sticks Of wood, stone, DC.
1t described semicircle toward the southeast,
twisting off large branches of trees and whisk-
ing them out of sight rapidly. The whHlwind
or cloud then separated and disappeared, but
almost Immediately formed again, and passed
directly back north and west with redoubed
violence. Il struck heavy frame house one
mile from the Illinois and Wisconsin railroad,
tearing the roof off, and almost Immediately
afterward taking up the whole house with its
contents. Nine persons in the house were
drawn up and hurled down in different places
Four of them were killed, and others mutila-
ted beyond any prospect Of recovery. The
whirlwind then passed over a post and rail
fence, leaving not the slightest vesuge Of II. l.
next took up barn and threw il upon the
horses and cattle il contained crushing them
at once The timbers of the house and
barn were hurled down 10 the ground
with such violence AS to bury them almost
out of sight The house belonged TO Mr.
Page, whose wife, son, and two grandchildren
We're killed. A number Of eve witnesses
have testified to the ravages of the tempest,
and desribe il as terrific.

BANK OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.-We I'M
derstand that the commissioners appointed to
divide the State into Bank Districts, and TO
locate the Branches, permitted by the law,
created sixteen Districts, and fixed upon the
places designated below IT will be seen that
the number of State Bank Districts is now
sirteen. whereas. under the law permitting the
existing Old Bank, the number was thirteen.
The places additional to the old are LIMA,
CoNNERsvILLE and JEFFERsoNvILLE. The 9TH
er places are those containing the Branches
of the Old Bank. with the exception Of La
PORTE and PLYMOUTH.
The reasons assigned for changing the To-
cation in these instances, from Michigan City
to Laporte, and from South Bend to Plymouth
are thought by many to be plausible and sat
isfactory. La Porte was regarded. in consid-
ering this case, the centre of business for a
larger class of community than Michigan City
This selection seemed to invole the necessity,
1t was urged, OF changing the location of .
branch at South Bend; for the reason that the
branch at either of these places, by the rail
road connection, will accommodate the same
di of country. Plymouth will be con
nected, after while, with La Porte, by rail
road, il is true, yet she reaches a district OF
country, very rich and rapidly developing
which has but little connection with either
La Porte or South Bend
These, with a thousand Others were the ar
gumenss used, we are informed, inducing the
following result:
