Hon. j. W. Thomas, Democratic elector in

minee.

: The Grand Division of the Sons of Temper
, ance met in Charlottesville last week. Seven
; thousand members are reported as connected
with the order in the State at present.
CArTIE.-Fifteen hundred head of Stock
Cattle passed through Albemarle County, Va,
Wednesday on their way to Orange and Culpe-
per markets They were driven from Middle
Tennessee.
A French Canadian child, four months old,
whose parents live in Montrel, fell from its moth
er's arms during her sleep, and, the string ofhis
cap catching upon the post of q cot at the side
of the bed, it was suspended and strangled
FILLMORE AT CNcNNATI-There was an i'm
mense mass meeting of the friends OF Fillmore
and Donelson in Cincinnati, on Saturday night.
There was also a great torch light procession,
exceeding any similar turnout of the campaign.
The total number of deaths in Norfolk, during
the month of August was 90, being an increase
of on the preceding month. For the week
ending on Saturday the 9Th, there were only
deaths What joyful contrast to the dark pic
ture of but one year ago!
| The New York Post states that q project is on
foot to interfere aci sarery IN soreretyn State,
to create combination similar to the Massachu-
sets Emigrant Aid Association in reference to
Kansas, and colonize Western Virginia with
free State man. 1t is quite probable, if such
thing is contemplated, that these emissaries will
think twice before they attempt it.
Luther Caldwell has been expelled from ga
merican Council No. 105, of Piedmont" n. y,
for introducing into the Fillmore Convention at
Syracuse, resolutions against the extension OF
slavery, without the authority of the party sin
direct and wiltul violation of its principles, and
opposed to its presidential nominees and the
platform"
THE MAINE ELRcTIoN.-The recent election i'm
Maine resulted in the entire triumph of the Re-
pubcans. They elected their Governor (Ham-
linz by fifteen thousand majority over both the
other candidates, the full Congressional deega-
ton, the whole of the State Senate with the ex-
ception of one member and four-fifths of the
House.
THE BLUE RIDGE TUNNEL.-The cas- tern side
of this great work had progressed, up to week
ago, 2,001 feet on the western side 2,0l4 feet
had been excavated, leaving about 2S5 feet to
be pierced The work will be finished, the su-
perintendent thinks, about the last of Novem-
ber There are 165 hands constantly employed
on the work.
The New York Freeman's Journal for the
present week, the accredited organ of Bishop
Hughes, thus speaks upon the subject Of FREE
mont's religion: "The attempt to make the
public swallow so absurd story as that Mr..
Fremont did not for years profess himself Is Ro-
man Catholic-and nothing but Roman Cath.
olic-has actually something in it hardly one
step from the sublime!"
GEoRGIA-The Augusta Chronicle speaks of
the Fillmore prospect in that State as every way
encouraging Everything" says the editor,
"tends to convince us that Fillmore will carry
Georgia by sweeping majority, if his friends
but do their duty. The enthusiasm with which
his name is welcomed on all sides would be alone
a guarantee of success, but we have other proofs
of his increasing popularity. Men who have
stood aloof from the political organizations Of
the day are coming forward on all sides to re-
cord their confidence in him."
HEALTH OF LOUIS NAPoLEoN-A variety Of
exaggerated rumors have lately been atloat in
Paris in relation to the health of the Emperor.
The n. Y. Journal of Commerce says that pri
vate letters declare that although his mind is
not in the least affected, yet there is too much
reason to fear that his health is very grayely
impaired, and that he is Obliged by advice Of
his physicians, to abstain almost entirely from
the management of State affairs. The mental
and bodily exertions which he has made during
the past few years, particularly during the first
part of this year, said to be the cause OF the
recent aggravation Of his old ailmeDt
The RESULT IN MIssoURI-The official returns
in Missouri have at last been made public Tho
result will be seen to be somewhat anomalous,
the Democrats having elected their candidate for
Governor and the Americans the Lieutenant
is as follows: Polk, (Democrat) 46,sss; Ew-
ing, (American) 40,57S Benton, Independently
1887. For Lietenant Governor; Newland,
(American) 41,205; Jackson OemocraO A.
OH; Kelly, independently 23,964. The DEM
ocratic party elect ell the inferior officers
There is some dispute about votes irregularly
returned from st. Genieyieve and Jackson, but
giving them entirely to the Democratic eandi-
date, will still leave Newland, the American
candidate for Lieutenat Governor, a majority Of
10, instead of 1873 as at present
Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE GARRISON ADOLF
TIoNIsTs-We observe in some of our Northern
exchanges a reference to a meeting of the Gar
rison Abolitionists held at Harwich Massachu-
SETS about q week ago, which was fully attend
ed Wendell Phillips, Foster, and others were
present. The speakers conceded in the opin-
ion of Garrison that the best thing for the cause
of the Dsunion Abolitionists would be Buchan-
ans election. In recent speech Parker Pills
bury said, after referring to the problematical
effects of Fremont's election, son the other
hand, If Mr.. Buchanan should be elected, the
aggressions Of slacery acould 90 on; then the az
itation acouldgo on audit seems ..me that what
we have to do is to seize the present condition
Of the country, stir up the people, and tarn the
popular excitement to our account"

Law arrived at New York Sunday evening, bring
