The Election in Indiana.

We are without such returns from this State
as enable us to determine its precise political
complexion. Our administration neighbors,
having been burned BY picking up the Ohio
victory prematurely, approach as the French
Emperor may be supposed to receive a sus-
picious parcel. They don't know but there
may be some decorating powder in them
that may explode in their hands,
We see it stated in contemporary col
umn, that Messrs. Medil and Medary tele-
graphed the Democracy here to slay the fatted
calf for prodigal Ohio. We learn from our in
defatigablc FLUTES that already had grand
placard been prepared to announce Ohio for
the Democracy. We learn from rumor that
the Democrats Of Ohio advised their friends
here to bet upon favorable result and thus
"sold' their compatriots, as the Democracy Of
Page county are said to have sold the Ameri-
cans before the Virginia election. AT all
events, both parties are afraid to claim the In
diana victory upon Geographic authority alone,
and all parties are particularly dumb upon the
subject, especially the administration organs.
Indeed, the proverbial uncertainty of "white
folks y seems to tnd new illustration in every
political result The Tribune, the other day,
was "almost afraid y to hear from Ohio, and
we had serious misgivings about Texas.
But there are now three strong parties in
the field: The Abolitionists, the Democracy,
and the American Union party. The results Of
this tripartite conflict must be extremely doubt
full for some time to come. Still let the Union
give the returns from California, Indiana, and
Texas, as it is proper that they should be COM
municated to Mr.. Pierce in broken doses, lest
combining with the tertian--with which
Cesarian disease, we are sorry to learn, he is
afilicted-they may hurry himup prematurely,
which we should be sorry to see at present,
since with the blood of many American mes
sengers upon his skirts, and such an unchris-
tan flame burning under his waistcoat his
chances must be impaired! So we say, long
life to President Pierce, and down with the
aguel Let us have the returns, no cheating
round the board.

A FAMILY PorsosrD.-The following distressing
incidents arc copied from the Columbia Ca-olnisn,
as occurring on the 9th instant, in the family Of
the Rev. Dr. Leland Of that city, involving almost
the entire household in the most imminent peril
Of violent death, from which they were rescued
by providential interference almost miraculous.
The circumstances OF this appalling event were
briefly these:
Towards SHUTDOWN, one Of the ladies was prepsr-
ing with her own hands some biscuit for tea, and
by mistake she mingled with the -four fatal guam
tity Of arsenic, which had been procured and pre-.
pared for the destruction Of rats, without her know
ledge. The quantity used was probably two tea
spoonsful, sufficient to have killed twenty strong
men.
This poisoned food was eaten In great or less
amount by Mrs. L., her two daughters, and grand
daughter; also, by several servants. Tho imme-
date effect violent pain and nausea. One hour,
however, passed before the cause was discovered.
As soon as the horrible fact was known, Drs. Fair
and Crane were in prompt attendance, and adopted
the most energetic measures TO afford relief The
deadly substance was room elected from the slo-
mschs OF all in short space OF time excepting in
the case Of Mrs. L., who was subjected TO a cue.
ccssion OF most violent emetcs for Eve or six
hours, before the fatal substance was thrown up.
And when elected IL was black foetd mass, evinc.
ing the most deadly characteristics. While the
others involved In this calamity very soon recover
ed, the mother having suffered more severe and
protracted pain, was exceedingly Frustrated and
has not yet obtained entire relief though she Is
decidedly convalesceDt.

stream Of water running through Il. A few days

CORRECTION.
70 tie Editor Of the American Organ

TO The Editor Of the American Organ
Sin: In your remarks on passage in the Hon.
Revsrdy Johnson's letter, you say that the Rev.
Theodore Parker is a Unitarian. That is a
mistake. He does not belong to the Unitarian As
ISOLATION He does, 1t is true, hold the same epin-
ion as Unitarians, in respect of the Trinity; &C
do the Christian sect, the Hicksite- Quakers and
others. Mr. Parker differs SO widely from the Uni
tarans that the clergymen Of that sect in Boston
with, believe, a single exception--object TO ex.
changing pulpits with him, as clergymen OF the
same sect Of all denominations, do, occasionally.
Yours, 40, A UNITARIAN.

ATRocIoUs MURDER IN NEW HAvEs-DIscovERY
OF THE CoNoEALED BoDY.--The New Haven Palla-
dunn has the following account of an atrocious
murder in that city:
Some time in the latter part Of April last, Mary
Ann, aged 81, wife Of Isaac Randolph, (colored
butcher) who occupied part of the house with
white man, named William futile, and his wife,
was missed Her husband who had frequently
beaten her, was arrested at the time, but dis
charged for want of CONNECTIVE testimony. He Is
a black man, a butcher by occupation, and married
his wife, who was nearly white, about year ago.
On w ednesday, the father Of Mrs. r. searched,
with others, in the garden, and upon digging into
the earth, the trunk Of woman was found clothed
in pink waist, and wrapped In coarse sacking.
This waist was the same which She wore the night
previous to her disappearance. Upon digging in
other places, other dismembered portions of the
body were found also wrapped in sacking. The
head was severed from the body, the trunk dsjoin-
ted at the thighs, the legs sundered at the knees,
and the arms severed at the shoulders and elbows
AL In a remarkable state Of preservation, and
such as could not fail to identify the person. The
features Of the face were almost perfect.
Randolph left New Haven some weeks ago, and
went to Waterbury, near which place he was ar
rested on "Wednesday night He was found about
midnight, In shed, and had with him provision
bag made OF sacking, precisely like that In which
the dead body was wrapped. This viii probably
prove evidence against him. The murder is sup
