Indiana Election.

Cincinnati, October 2l.-We have returns
from lightweight counties in Indiana, partly
official from which the Democrats claim the
election of A. p. Willard, for Governor, by
seven thousand majority. The Republicans give
him $500. The Democrats have elected six
members of Congress, and the Republicans
probably i've. The returns, however, are yet
incomplete.
Cincinnati, October 24.-The indianapolis
Journal says, that in consequence of the dis
covery of stupendous frauds, the Republicans
are determined to contest the State election.
The official returns from four-ffths of the State
show q Republican increase over 1854 of $4,000
votes, while the Democrats have increased
their vote $4,000. In the 9th and lth districts,
the Democrats have increased 5000 votes in
each.
Union Electoral Ticket in Lancaster.
Lancaster, Oct 25.-The American Execu-
tive Committee of Lancaster county met to-
day. The attendance was large, and the Union
Electoral ticket, headed with the name of Mil
lard Fillmore, adopted by the Union Conven-
ton at Harrisburgh, was ratified with great en-
thusissm. The Union sentiment among the
Fillmore men of Lancaster county is very
| strong.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Lancaster, Oct. 25.-The American Execu-
tive Convention of Lancaster county met in
this city to-day, when a resolution was offered
by Mr.. NJ. M. Bohrer, endorsing the action of
the Fillmore State Central Committee opposing
a fusion on the electoral ticket, and pledging
the American party of Lancaster county to the
| support of the straight-out Fillmore and Dom
elson ticket To this an amendment was offer
ed and carried by majority of 2, IL members
voting. This sustains the fusion ticket; where
upon, those who voted to sustain Mr.. Bohrer' >
resolution withdrew in body, and organized
anew.
The Register and Citizen, the only Fillmore
paper published in this city, comes out this
morning, taking strong ground against fusion,
| and declaring it fraud and trick, whereby
the Americans are to be transferred TO the Re-
publican party.

Tuesday, exhibiting such revolving cruelty as to
be almost incredible. A little boy, five years OF
age, belo' cling to Mrs. Story, was roasted alive

Gregg, VINO lived in another portion of the
house, took the opportunity and entered the
apartment, and proceeded to the execution OF
the deed which she had previously threatened:
With hos rid imprecations. the child scas held

Mount VERNON. We find in the Philadelphia
Inquirer letter from "A Southern Matron, Presi-,
dent OF the Mount Vernon Association of the
Union,' in regard to the sale of the Mt. Vernon
estate, and explanatory of MIR. John A. Washing
tons position in regard to it. The writer says that
Mr. Washington has never offered or put the estate
In the market for sale but is flooded with letters of
every description, from the personally insulting to
the idly curious, in reference to Mount Vernon
10 rid himself Of this annoyance Mr., Washington
wrote the letter saying the estate was not for sale,
which has recently occasioned so much comment
He has received numerous offers for the purchase of
Mt. Vernon, and to the conditional acceptance Of
one of them the Mount Vernon Association owes
its existence. This was an offer made through the
Governor of Virginia. which was responded to
favorably by Mr.. Washington. To raise the sum
demanded by MIR. w. the Association was char
tered by the Virginia Legislature, and for this pur
pose 1t is now laboring. The sale, however, is to
be made to the State, and there are to be no deal
ings between Mr. Washington and the Association,
although the latter is to furnish the funds.

others. The boat is common sailing boat on two
