"INrAMoUs."-Under this caption the New
Orleans Bulletin comments upon Gov. Wise's
denunciation, in his recent Corinthian Hall
speech, of the fifty or sixty thousand Virginians
who voted for Flournoy, as abolitionists. The
Bulletin says:
"Whether insane or not, Wise is unfit to occu-
by the position he does. Instead of possessing
GOODNESS, discretion, judgement and good practi-
cal sense, which the present crisis so much re-
quires, his passionate rawlings, his boundless a.
buse of everybody who will not receive his t9pse
dirit unQuestioned and unquestioning his big
oted, proscriptive and narrow-contracted views,
are making him the laughing stock of the coun-
try-the political Don Quixotte of the times
He is, by his violence, disgusting sober and pa
triotic citizens, and is doing more to injure the
South, and to give strength to its worst enimies,
than probably any other man in it."

Recent Elections.

PENNsYLvANIA.-The Democrats carried the
election in Pennsylvania on the l4th, according
to the last report, by about $500 majority
They also elect Is out of the 25 congressman
The Assembly stands So Democrats to AZ oppo-
sition. The Senate has 2 opposition majority.
Advices received after the above was put in
type state that the Democratic majority is from
1000 to 5000
OHIo.-This State has gone for the Republi-
cans by a majority of over 10000. The Demo
Gratis gain four or five Congressman in conse-
quence of the vote being divided by candidates
of the American party.
INpIANA.-Willard, Democrat, is elected Gov
ernor by about 5000 majority. The Republi-
cans have a majority of the State Senate and the
Democrats have a majority in the House. The
Fillmore party had no ticket in the field, and
very likely the greater portion of them voted for
the Democratic candidates.
SOUTH C~ARoL1NA.-The present Congression-
al delegation has been elected, with the excep-
ton of the Charleston district, in which VIM.
Porcher Miles succeeds Mr.. Aiken, resigned
Mr.. Miles was opposed by Gen. Gadsden and
Col. Cunningham. We believe Mr.. Miles was
the candidate of the more moderate Southern
party.

Judge Thompson's Charge.

We find in a religious newspaper, which Cir
culates extensively in this region, a long extract
from the late charge to the Grand Jury of Brooke
county, by Judge G. W. Thompson, and com
mended to the attention of its readers as "very
able" and worthy OF universal perusal. The ex-
tract does not indicate the political bearing of
the Charge, but what there is in it worthy of
this distinguished notice wee perceive. 1t
is the merest rigmarole that ever appeared in
print. The Judge affects vast learning, and
makes himself ridiculous. See how he talks a.
bout Spinoso, De Holback, Diderot, Hume! He
quotes Shakespear, grossly misapplying the Ian
guage of Gonzao, and is uuinteligible generally.
Such a speech addressed to a Grand Jury is the
greatest absurdity Of modern times. 1t deseryes
a place among the curiosities of literature. But
it is embalmed in the columns of q religious jour-
nal and laid away for Sunday reading.

The Effect.

The result of the Pennsylvania election settles
conclusively that there is no chance for FIRE.
mont's election. Away then with the old song
about voting for Buchanan to defeat Fremont
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Baltimore
American says:-"Had the Union ticket been
carried by q large majority, the Fremonters
would certainly have nominated q ticket. This
is out of the question now So you will per-
ceiye that the friends of Mr.. Fillmore in Penn
s~ylvania predicted right. They had all to gain
and nothing to lose by accepting the Fremont
support in the present contest. They now stand
up boldly to give battle in the great struggle of
November, untrammeled by fears from within
or any serious past defeat from without"
After the above was put in type We learned
that the Fremont men in Pennsylvania had nom
mated a fusion electoral ticket. 1t is repudiated
by Mr.. Fillmore's friends, and in all probability
will be withdrawn before the day of election
New York politicians seem to have had the prin-
c;nol hand in putting it forward.

THE VOTE OF PH1LADELpH1A.--The Philadelphia
Bulletin says the vote of that city at the recent
election exceeded by 11,217 votes the entire poll
for Mayor in May last. We have also, says the
Bulletin, at this election shot far ahead of the
largest vote ever polled in the city of New York.
The increase of 1877 votes within five months
is so enormous, that no one can pretend for a
moment that it is a legitimate increase. At the
election of May last, there was great excitement
and a full vote was out. That there should be
an increase of 11,217 in five months is utterly
beyond belief. The frauds rumored must have
been fully carried out. 1t is the Preparation of
such outrages as this that is to put on institu-
tons to the test. The people can not long en-
dure their repetition.

TIE PENNSYLVANIA ELEoTIoN.-After q con-
test almost without a parallel, the Democracy of
Pennsylvania have carried the State by from
one to three thousand votes. If they are salts
fed with such q victory, WI certainly can have
no reason to complain. The majority is so mea-
gre, when compared with the influences brought
to bear upon the contest, that the probability of
their losingin November the fewinches ofground
they have gained in the recent election is reduc-
ed almost to q certainty. 1t is we'll known that
in Philadelphia, and throughout the State, a
large body Of Wings took no part in the strug.
Gle lust closed. The Quaker vote was also
largely deficient; and yet, notwithstanding these
drawbacks, under which the opposition labor
ed, the Democracy, with all the local appliances
thew had at their command, sustained by elee-
mosynary aid, derived from officials connected
with the general government, and strengthened
not only by a strong force of voters naturalized
for the occasion, jut by heavy importations from
the adjoining States, have barely been able to
save themselves from defeat. They proclaim q
victory, and we concede the tact-but it is new
ertheless q victory in which no glory has been
won, and over which they will find it difficult
to rejoice. We now know what they. can do,
for even more than their real strength has been
developed. We also know what We have to &C.
complish, and can safely rely upon the coopera-
ton of the reserve force to which we have brief
" alluded, to enable US to achieve a very differ
emit result in November.-BaI fa"aot.

THE DUPLICATE FREMoNT.-Captain S. L.. Ere
mont, who resides in Wilmington, North Caro-.
lima, is said to be the other Fremont, designated
by the New York Tribune as q Roman Catholic.
Captain Fremont's friends are highly indignant,
and a Wilmington journal says:
"Captain S. l.. Fremont is not now, and never
was a member of the Catholic Church. There
is no shadow of personal resemblance between
him and the Black Republican candidate. 1t is
hardly possible for two men to look more unlike.
Captain Fremont is tall, say about six feet high,
will weigh at least one hundred and eighty
pounds, parts his hair and wears his clothes like
his neighbors, and, like every other officer of the
army whom we have ever met, has o thorough
contempt for the Colonel, because he knows him
to be contemplate"

Mr.. FLLMoRE's CAUSE IN PENNSYLVANIA
The result of the recent election in Pennsylvania
has not disheartened Mr.. Fillmore's friends IN
that State, though it has determined them to re-
pudiate all fusion with opposite parties and 10
pursue the contest wholly upon the national
ground which their candidate occupies. AT a
large meeting held in Philadelphia on Thursday
night, this determination was earnestly ANNOUNCE
ed by Mr.. Granger, of New York, and received
the enthusiastic approval of the thousands who
listened to him:
The speaker depicted the lamentable condition
of the country, and asked, who can allay the
difficulty, who can stop this civil wars No
man now in nomination but Willard Fillmore.
"The next question was, could he be elected
"a general response of "yes."1 In the State of
Pennsylvania he had three times the strength
that any man would suppose who had not can
yassed the State and become intimate with all
the voting districts. The speaker referred to
the Wanting claims of the Republicans as to
their strength, and asked what was the relative
force of the Fillmore men and Republicans as
shown in the ballot-boxes of Philadelphia la
voice, "three to one."l There were many Fill
more men here who had not presented them
selves at the polls, and the speaker himself knew
thousands. Let it be known that there was a
stern integrity of purpose in the Fillmore party
to carry forward, without tlinching, Millard
Fillmore as the candidate of the State of Penn
~sylvania, and we will see a host come up that
will astonish everybody, and lead on to a certain
victory"
Mr.. Stuart, of Virginia, addressed the same
meeting. A despatch from Philadelphia on the
18th says:
"The Fillmore State Central Committee have
adjourned after two days session, and by a near
ly unanimous vote have refused absolutely any
union, alliance, or connexion with the Fremont
party. This action renders Fremont's election
impossible in Pennsylvania. The union in the
State election failed because the Fillmore Amer
leans did not ioin in it heartily"

@y- We have just had a conversation with
a gentleman residing in this comfy, who was
raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and has all
his life known Mr.. Buchanan. He has been q
Wing and is now a Know Nothing, but he says
he will vote for Buchanan, if he is alive and can
get to the polls on election day. He says he is
one of the best men he ever knew and is well
worthy of the Presidency. Such evidence as
this, coming from a political opponent, shows
the estimation in which "old Buck" is held by
old neighbcrs by whom he is best known

MARVELLOUS DISCOVERY 1.-The Richmond En-
quirer has made the marvellous and startling
discovery that James c.. Bruce, Esq, of Halifax
is an aboltionists! Ministers and angels of
grace, what comes neXt9 Mr.. Bruce only WINS
about q thousand 'niggers," and he is therefore
unsound on slavery. Wise and the Enquirer, we
suppose, don't own more than a hundred or two
apiece, and yet they are altogether reliable, right
side up Southern men, deeply interested in the
peculiar institution, and now engaged i'll bur-
nishing up their old muskets 10 defend it. Poor
Mr.. Bruce! Why don't you set all your "giz-
zard-feet'' and "ebo-shins" free, and then make
a great fuss about niggers and Southern rights
like Wise and the Enquirer, and then you would
be q good Southern man. The truth is, MIR.
Bruce, no man can own q thousand niggers, and
vet be a reliable friend of the South. The thing
is impossible and W. are surprised at a gentle
man of your intelligence owning so many, if you
had none, and would halloo at the top of your
voice, as if you owned the whole three millions
of them, it would be all right and the South
could trust you and your patriotism and loyalty
would be unquestioned and unquestionable.-
We advise you, therefore, to get rid of your mig
gers, and thereby elevate yourselfto q level with
Wise and the Enquirer, and you need have no
apprehension of being lynched and then tared
and feathered. James G.. Bruce is an Abolition
zionist, and no mistake. 1t is equally true that
this is a great country, and abounds in patriots
without niggers.-Rich. Wing.

SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE FROM CHICAGO TO LIVER
PooL.-The European Times of the 9th ult.
notices a successful commercial experiment of
much Importance and of a rather startling des-
%cription. This is no less than the voyage of the
schooner Dean Richmond from Chicago, ILL.,,
direct to Liverpool, with q cargo of 400 tons OF
grain. The Richmond is described as o rakish
Schooner of $50 tons register, drawing nine and
q half feet of water. A direct voyage like this,
which saves transhipment at Buffalo or New
York, must, it is clear, pour into England the
produce of the Northwestern States of the Union
by way of the st. Lawrence, at a price which
cannot fail to add to the trade and wealth of
both countries. In point of time and cheapness
no doubt is entertained that the new route will
successfully complete with the New York or
Black Sea routes to England. The Richmond
made the passage in go days, which included g.
500 miles of inland waters but she was detain-
ed - days in the st. Lawrence, and that delay
is not likely to occur again. The voyage opens
a new era in the grain trade, as well as in ship
navigation. Chicago,tha wonderful port ofthe
Lakes, will receive a new impetus upon the road
to metropolitan greatness.

THE FLORIDA WAR.-TheG Government is shaking
ample preparations to put an end to the te-
dious and costly war in Florida during the COM
ing winter, which is the most favorable sea-
son for operations in the everglades. The
troops intended for this service comprise near
two and a half regiments, or about two thousand
men, drafted from various posts on the seaboard
and at the Northwest. Two companies will
leave Fort Hamilton, Governors Island, in a
few days, also, two companies from Boston Har-
Dor, and others from Old Point Comfort. This
will increase about three fourths to the United
States force OF present in the peninsula. A
number of large fat-boats, both of wood and
iron, are in process of construction at New York
at the ship yards and iron founderies, designed
to aid the troops in penetrating the everglades.
Gen. Harvey is to take command, and as he is
not only a very ~resolute and untiring officer, but
one who is thoroughly acquainted with the
ground and the enemy, we may anticipate the
speedy termination of this protracted and very
war.

Fire at the Western Lunatic Asylum.

On Saturday night last another fire occurred
at the Western Lunatic Asylum. The following
note in reference to the matter was communica-
ted by DR.. Stribling to the Editor of the Rich
mond Dispatch:
Mr.. Editor:-I deeply regret having so soon
again to ask a space in your columns, to applize
the community that another fire has occurred at
the West. L. Asylum. About 8 o'clock last
night a mall detached building, containing ID
Male patients, was discovered to be on fire in
the attic. The patients were promptly removed
to places of security, without the slightest injury
to any one, and the fire extinguished without
other material injury to the building than the
destruction of the roof. Very respectfully,
