Recollect that the grand display of Fire
works will come off this evening. AS this ex-
hibition will be one of the most beautiful des-
cription, and the price of admittance very low,
there should be big crowd present. A large
enclosure has been built on the commons in
front of the river, near Mr.. Barns residence,
which enclosure has ample accommodations for
q tremendous crowd, These fire works have
been prepared by our fellow-citizen Mr.. Crisp,
who is one of the oldest Pyrotechnists in the
country, and was formerly Pyrotechnist at the
Government Navy Yard at Norfolk. Mr..
Crisp promises that the exhibition will far ex-
coed in beating the display we had last spring.
and it will in every manner by deserving of pat
ronage. sw f@

or Won't some body hold the editor oil
the Bloomington News Letter? He has been
supping in horrors until there is evidently a
rush Of blood to the head We think he is
mistaken, however. in his case about it being
blood that 'rushes rcd on the eye sight" 1t
was no doubt genuine article of ''red eye"
We truly trust the flesh won't creep entirely
off his bones. He would then be as scary
specimen of an Old Liner in appearance as he
now is in his rawlings:
Already we have supped full of horrors
stream of blood brushes red on the sight"
whenever we contemplate the past history of
the traitor nSam." The soul sickens-the life
blood chills around the heart-the flesh crawls
and creeps upon our bones, as the shrieks of
murdered men, woman and children are ring
ing in our ears, and the smoke of a human
.hecatomb is ascending to just God, the ter
ribIe avenger of rnurderers and liars

CosT OF DRESSING FASHIONABLE LADY.
The New York Sun furnishes the following
statistics of fashionable life in that city:
There are in New York and Brooklyn, not
less than 5000 ladies' whose dress bills will
average annually not less than $1,000 each, or
ten millions of dollars for all. There are 5000
more whose dress expenses will average $1,000
each, or five millions of dollars for the whole
number; and five millions of dollars more
would not cover the dress expenses Of those
whose bills average every year from $500 to
$500. Thus at a low estimate, the annual
cost of dressing our fashionable ladies is taOen-
ty millions Of dollars. Perhaps we could not ex-
coed the truth if we estimated the total annu-
al cost of dressing and dwelling the ladies of
New York and its vicinity at from thirty to
forty millions of dollars.
The above, however, is all guess work. It
would be difficult to obtain statistics on SO deli
cate asubject, we imagine.

ca,ro...rt. Growth and Prospects.

We invite public attention to the advertise
ment of Cairo lots for sale, which appears in
our paper to-day. Years ago we formed an
intimate acquaintance with Cairo, and we then
insisted that ultimately great city would be
planted at the confluence of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers. We knew well that the enter
prise and genius of man could very readily
surmount the obstacles which nature had plant
ed in the way of ordinary progress there
We knew that right in our, own country man
had accomplished thousands of more difficult
enterprises than that of preparing the delta of
land at the confluence of these mighty rivers
for the site Of city. We were laughed at then
for the views we published in elaborate de-
tail-yet no one could disprove any position
we assumed. There was one thing we said
too at that time, to which we would direct
particular attention now. We said that no.
thing had kept Cairo from becoming a city,
but the fact that no one could purchase lot
there-they were not in the market not yet
ready for sale--but that from the very day
these lots were offered for sale, might be dated
the commencement of Cairo's growth. Now
mark the facts. A little over year ago. If
we recollect rightly, these lots were offered
at private sale. A number Of them were at
once snatched up and at excellent prices
Within the last year one hundred and thirty
brick, and all of them of substantial and per.
manent character, and building is still going
on briskly. If mechanics and material had
not been so scarce the last season there, no
doubt double this number of houses would
have been erected.
A number of wholesale grocery and COM
mission houses have already been established
and others are about being started, and in q
been dependent on St. Louis for supplies, will
go to Cairo as the better market. 1t is in the
centre Of an old and thickly settled portion o
the country. Among other improvements G.
the past year, is very large hotel, which is
constantly crowded, and contract has beer
made for depot 400 feet in length by 1o(
feet wide, to be completed the coming Decem.
Der.
But we need only say of Cairo that it is
growing just as fast as materials can be OBJ
tanned, and workmen procured to put them to-
Igether. We have nc doubt that Cairo will
rapidly advance till it becomes great city
In view ofthis prospect, it is no doubt an ex-
cellent place for the investment of capital
We regard it as just as healthy place az
there is on the lower Ohio. It is perfectly
protected from overflow. But for particulars
we refer to advertisement

indiana Election

johnson county, we learn by letter from
q friend, has given a rather larger majority for
the old liners than it did last year. The vote
is very light, falling about 800 short This
is the case iii many counties.
Hamilton eoanty-The vote in this county
is hardly half what it was last year, but the
Republican majority is proportionably as large
as then. 1t is thought it will be about 200 A
full vote would have made it 400 or more.
Hancock county has elected an old line
Clerk by GIT majority.
Bartholomew has gone old line by between
800 and 400.
Jefferson-Madison has elected the Repub-
lican ticket-giving our candidates nearly two
to one over the old line. Wise for Commits
sioner has 619, and Lott for Recorder, 656-
all others 24O.
Clarke--the Louisville Democrat says:
In Jacksonville township Clarke county,
Indiana there was majority of121 votes for
the Know Nothing candidates yesterday. We
learned yesterday, however, that the county
had gone old line.
Putnam is reported at about 100 old line.'
majority. 1t gave over 400 last year the other
way.
Rush has elected the whole old line ticket
| by about 200
Shelby is reported to have given about 600
majority for the old liners
Dearborn, we learn gives about 600 old line.
majority.
Wayne elects Scott, old line Clerk, and
Smith, it is said, gets small majority for
Judge, the rest Of the Republican ticket was
elected.
Howard, we learn, has gone old line,' but
but we doubt the report.
Upton is reported to have gained an old
line majority, but we couldn't learn the figure.
These reports are, of course, hasty, and often
mere guesses from partial returns, but the gen.
eral result. we have no doubt, is as reported
though the figures may differ materially in
some cases.
| Marion-The returns from Franklin town
ship being in-137 for the old line men-we
calculate the majority thus: Stewart, 467;
Brown, 469; Logan, $50 OF AGO.. We will pub
lish the official vote as soon as it can be pro-
cured. 1t will not differ materially from the
result already stated
Jennings has gone Republican oy about 100.
Jefferson county gives about 800 for the Re-
publican ticket.
| Tippecanoe, we learn, gives small MAORI
ty against Orth for Judge. Ifso, he IS certain
| ly defeated.
Franklin gives an old line' majority, but
we do not learn how great.

FEVER IN MIssIssIPPI.-The Natchez Free
Trader of Wednesday week saws:

Another issue of our paper must appear with
out our being able to record any favorable
change in the health of our city. The fever
continues to spread. and attacks indiscrimi-
nately all classes Of our citizens. We think
it has something of its original mahgnity,
though on the eastern suburb OF our city q
short distance beyond the railroad macnihe
shop, it appears unusually virulent.
The American Banner, published in Yazoo
City, states that the report of yellow fever hay-
ing originated in that place is without founda-
ton. Cases, and deaths from the disease had
occurred, but they were imported ones.

or The Henderson Reporter alludcs to
Mr.. Kenyon, as 'the newly aedged editor of
the Patriot, fresh from hot bed of freesoil and
abolitionism." What does the Reporter mean
by this? Does he mean to say that Evansville
is a hot bed of abolitionism? He well kno,os
there are not three abolitionists in the whole
city, and that Kentucky negroes would rather
take any other track to freedom than through
Evansville. Evansville was a hot bed for him
once. and he recollects it with no great good
humor. Mr.. Kenyon is no more an abolition
ist than the editor of the Reporter, but he is q
better man morally and mentally. There is
not stain on has character, and whenever the
editor of the Reporter is brought in conflict
with man of that class we advise him not to
challenge any comparison or reference to ante
tecedents.

The Georgia Election.

Hon. H. V. johnson, the present Democratic
Governor of Georgia, has been reelected over
Garrett Andrews. American, by about 5000
majority. On the strength Of this, the De-
mocracy have set up great shout Of victory.
They are evidently rejoiced that they achieved
success Mt all, and consider that in rank
triumph! Now Pierce obtained majority of
1S,o45 over Scott in Georgia. Yet here is a
terrible shout set up by the Pierceites because
they elected their Governor three years after
wards by 5000 majority. This kind of shout
ing, or shooting over these kind of victories,
prove how badly scared the Democracy has
become. 1t is a great victory with them now
to escape humiliation.
