JrrrEHsoSvILLr, Ind, Oct. 20, 1856.
The Slavery Democracy have trlumPhed in In
diana. Judge Morton, the Republican candidate,
lie defeated by about 5000 majority. This result
was unexpected, and is attributed by many to the
detection of the Fillmore party. 1t is supposed
that thousands of them voted the Democratic ticket.
That some did there cannot be doubt. The object

bity OF carving the State for Fremont and thereby
compel them 10 take mp Mr.. Fillmore Such Is the
opinion Of some Of the Fillmore mel Of this place.
II is certain in my Judgment, thar The whole brunt
of the battle rested the shoulders OF the Repub'

LETTER FROM PROFESSOR MORSE.

LONDON Oct. 80 O'Clock q m.
My DEAR SIR: As the electrician of the New-fork
Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company, It IL
with the highest grati cation that have to apptse
you of the reeult OF experiments OF this morning
upon single continuous conductor OF more than 2VoO
miles in extent distance you will perceive, suihcien
to cross the Atlantic Ocean, from Newfoundland 10
Ireland
The admirable arrangements made at the Magnetic
Telegraph Office in Old Broad street, for connecting
ten suberranean insulated conductors, OF
over 200 miles each to give one continuous length
of more than 1000 miles duiny the hours OF the night
when the telegraph il not commercially employed, fur.
nished us the of cOncusyely settling by actual
experiment, the question OF p scticablllty a. wen a.
the practically Of teegrsphing through our proposed
Atlantic cable.
The result had been thrown into some doubt by the
discovery more than two years since OF certain phe-
nomena upon subtenanean and submarine condu tors,
and had attracted e attention of electricians partc
ulary of that most eminent Philosopher Professor Far
adsy and that clear-sghted investigator OF electrical
phenomena, DIR. Whitehouse-and one OF these phe-
D0mens to wit the percepble reardatlon OF the cleo
trio current threatened to perpex operations ADD
require careful investigation before We could pronounce
with certainty the commercial practcsb1ity OF the
ocean telegraph.
| am most happy to iuform you that, a. browning
result OF long series Of experimental investigation
and nduc,ye reasoning upon this subject the expert
ments under the direction Of DIR. Whtehouse and Mr..
Bright which witnessed this morning, 10 which the
induction coils and receiving magnets, a. modified by
thee gentlemen, made to actuate one OF my 70
cordipg instruments have most satisfactorily resolved
all doubts of the practcabity well az practically
OF operating the telegraph from Newfoundiand 10
Ireland.
Although we tebgraphed signals at the rate Of 20ei
snd according 10 the count at time even OF 20 per
minute upon my Geographic register which speed you
will perceive j. at rate commercially advantageous
these results were accomplished Notwithstanding many
Disadvantages in our arrangements OF temporary and
local charscter-disadya ntsges which will not occur
IN the use OF our submarine cable.
Having parsed the whole night with my active and
agreeable collaborstors Dr. Whitehose and Mr.. Bright
withOu sleep, will excuse the hurried and brief
character Of ih note which could not refrain from
sending you since experiments thus morning settle
the scientific and commercial points Of enterprise

By no means Let us have all the Roorbacks out

Fremont admitting that no wa born 10 Patagonis;
another that he ia Jesuit Of high degreei third
that be has bought all the cattle IN California
stocked his MaripOsa estate with them and Is gong
to make the Government pay for them. The men
who are engineering the fight against Free Labor
won't stick at trihes. If George Washington were
now alive, and leading the contest for Slavery Re-
striction, as be naturally would be, we should have
affidavits thick as hail proving that he embezzled
the provisions Of his army at Morristown and Valley
Forge sold them 10 the Hesslans, and let his SOL
ders starye and freeze for want Of them. The
people understand this game, and won't be easily

Now, this rather rifles our temper; and if you
see any letter from Col. Fremont, saying he is in
favor of making Kansas Slave State, UNFOLDING
the bogus Z" laws or encouraging the Border Ruff
fans you have right to get excited and brand the
forgery it deserves. Bot il it is anything in the
Dog Noble line just laugh at it. and 90 on with the

in e1ecting President just now, and will attend to
our creeds and our catecbisms after the election.

CHASED ny A BEAR.

The following extract from "Thc Hun
lcrs Feast" terms the conclusion y: a mar
raIivc by hunter naturalist" about Il
" Deer Hunt in Dug Out He and
Dick" were after vGulSOn III their canoes
by torch light:
We had scarcely passed this Point
when my. attention VAS attracted by Il
pair OF fiery orbs that glistened out of
some low bushes upon the bank Of the
river. saw that they were eyes Of some
animal. but what kind could not guess.
| knew they were not the eyes OF deer.
Their peculiar sinctilIation, their lesser
size, the wide space between them-aIl
convinced me they were not deer'S eyes.
Moreover, they moved at times. as ii the
head Of Ike animal was carried about in
irregular circles. This is never the case
with the eyes Of the deer, which either
pass hurriedly from point TO point or re.
main With fixed and steadFast gaze.
| knew, therefore, it was no deer but
no matter what it was some wild crea>
lure, and all such are alike The, game OF
the prairie hunter.
took aim. and pulled the uigger.-
While doing SO heard the voice Of my
companion warning me, as though not 10
heed it, but it had been uttered almost
simultaneously with the report of my ri.
fe. ,-- = ...... -..
L first looked to, the bank to witness the
effect of my shot. 10 my great surprise
the eyes were still there. cleaning from
bushes brightly as ever. .... ...
Had l missed my. aim It is true the
voice of my companion had somewhat
disconnected me; but still believed that
my bullet must have. sped truly, as it had
been delivered with good aim. .
As turned to Dick Tor an explanation.
a new sound fell upon my ear which 7ex
planned all at the same time causing me
no slight feeling Of alarm. 1t was a sound
not unlike that sometimes uttered by ter
rlfed swine. but louder and more. s.threat.
ening. l knew it WE'LL knew it was
the snort Of the grizzly bear.
or all American animals, the grizzly
bear is the most to be dreaded. Armed
or unarmed. man is no match for him,
and even the courageous hunter Of these
parts shuns the encounter. This was why
my companion had admonished me not to
fire. l thought had missed it it was
not SO. My bullet had bit and stung The
fierce brute to madness, and a quick
cracking among the bushes was immedi.
ately followed by a heavy plunge: the
bear was in the Waterl
" Good Heaven ! he's after us !"cried
Dick in accents of alarm, at the same time
propelling the dug out with all his might.
II proved true enough that the bear
was after us, and the very FIRST plunge
had brought his nose almost up TO the
side OF the canoe. However, a lew well
directed strokes Of the paddle set us in
quick motion. and we were soon gliding
rapidly down the stream, followed by the
enraged animal, that every now and then
uttered one of his fierce snorts.ESa *
What rendered our situation aterrible
one. that We could not see the bear. nor
