ST. LOUIS, No, Oct. Is.
l was in Ohio on
the eve Of the election. The RePubf-
cans seemed to be entirely Indifferent as
to the result of the election. They
could not believe but they were sure Of
success, while the Democrats were using
every possible exertion over the entire
state. They also pretended to feel con-
hdent OF success. l heard one Demo
crat say they should carry the state with
out doubt and that that would be a death
blow to the Republican party throughout
the Union. You viii probably have
learned the result Of the election before
receiving this. So far as We have yet
heard however. the Republicans are
ahead. But the returns also show large
Democratic gain over last year and q
great falling of in the Republican vote.
When viii they learn the Importance Of
a continued exertion Of the entire party
Their great adversary never fails TO be
vicilant, and while all sorts of frauds are
continually being played upon the north
and the Republican party are being in
suited and abused by the dominant party

The correspondent Of the Missouri
Democrat writes:
LAWRENCE, Oct. 9.
" The latest returns give the contest a
very doubtful aspect. Both parties are
claiming majorities. The pro slavery
party concede that PARROT Is elected.
but talk of contesting his seat. 1t can
hardly be doubted that the Free State
men have legally elected majority in
both Houses. But the bogus officials at
Lecompton have already commenced
tempering with the returns. On account
of some alleged informality in the ap-
Pointment Of the precincts, all the re-
turns from the county of Franklin save
those from one precinct have been thrown
out. The returns thus refused were from
four precincts and gave Free State ma
iorities.7

OHIO.

The complete though not entirely Off
ciaI returns from Ohio indicate the re-
election Of Governor Chase BY nearly a
thousand majority. The Fillmore Amer
leans, who polled $4,000 votes last fall,
when the Republican plurality was only
1880, have this year given their own
ticket less than 5000, their gubernatOrial
candidate himself voting the democratic
ticket and urging its election. And yet,
as against an apparent gain to the democ-
racy of $4,000 votes from this source
alone, Governor Chase is probably elect
ed. The legislature is lost, however, to
the Republicans, for there was not a
single American legislative ticket, 50 far
as known, throughout the State.

THE MEMPHIS EyCITEMENT-The counsel Of Boil
ton, who killed Mcmillan in Memphis some time ago,
recently obtained writ Of habeas corpus returnabe
in a distant county 1t being the universal opinion
that this was part of plan to rescue the murderer
from the custody of the authorities the citizens held
a mass meeting and appointed committee to devise
measures for preventing his removal. On the even
ing of the 2lst another meeting was held, and we
extract the following from ,the Enquirer's report of
its proceedings:
A resolution to sustain the determination of the
committee to prevent Bottoms removal was unani-
mousy adopted. Also resolution requesting Mayor
Baugh to adhere to his declared intention not to de-
liver up the Jail key except the terms previously
specified by him. The meeting resolved to appoint 4
committee to consist of hundred, we believe, to
guard the Jail during the night and until five clock
| this morning, to prevent Bottoms removal This
sums up as far as we could ascertain, the action OF
the meeting.
The same paper of the 23d has the following ad-
dtional intelligence:
The Sheriff did not remove Bolton from the city
Yesterday morning. The committee appointed by
the meeting on Friday evening guarded the Jail
during the night. A large crowd assembled at the
calab0ose yesterday morning at the time indicated
for the Sheriff to call the prisoner. Sheriff Felts
when he made his appearance for the purpose of en-
tering the JAIL was informed that it would be impos
sible for him to do SO. Being fully satisfied of ths
fact there no other course left him but to aban
don the attempt to remove Bolton. He could no
accomplish an mpossbity, and to enter that prise,
was an impossibty. There was no disorder or ex
element The conduct of those present was calm
and indicated a simple determination not to permi
the removal of the prisoner.

FIRING OFF THE MUrINEERs.-The following eX-
tract from letter of British officer in India, show.
ing how the mutineers were treated at Peshawur,
makes us fear that barbarities not wholly confined
to the Sepoy side:
A force of Europeans with guns was sent round
the fort OF which, Meerdan, was held by the 55th
native infantry in open mutlny they tried to escape
when our force appeared and some got Oft to Swat
the others were made prisoners; $50 were killed on
the spot. nine tried by drum head courtmartal and
instantly shot, including native officer of regiment
not in mutiny, who would not act he ordered.
Others were driven into the hills and killed by the
hilmen price of 10 rupees being set on their heads
The Colonel of this regiment blew out his brains in
disgust of the mutiny The villains kept their officers
in confinement and told them if they tried to escape
they would roast them alive They did, however man
age to esape. The force then went and dsarmed al
the other regiments in the forts and quieted the
district.
Some of the two hundred prisoners of the 55tf
have been tried, and we blew forty of them away
from our guns in the presence OF the whole force
three days ago-a fearful but necessary example
which has struck terror into their souls Three side
of square were formed ten guns pointing outwards
the sentence OF the court was read prisoner bount
to each gun, the signal given, and the salvo fred
Such a scene hope never again to witness-humal
trunks, heads legs, arms ETC., flying about in all dl
rections. All met their fate with trmness but two
who would not be tied up; so to save time they wer
dropped to the ground and their brains blown out by
| musketry.
| Trials are going on, and the mutineers will neVe
forget the lesson Taught at Peshawur. 1t is not m.
business to contrast compare with scenes elsewhere

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The Caddo Gazette of the

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The Caddo Gazette of the
22d says:
We have had too much rain by half, and the cotton
crop in consequence, has suffered greatly. 1t is all
running to weed, the cotton bols are rotting, and
the picking season thrown back for nearly month.
We have as fine looking crop any one ever be-
held but, under the most favorable circumstances
from this out we cannot make even good medium
crop. Our friends in the city may rely upon this as
a true and reliable statement, upon which to base
calculation so far this great region of country is
concerned. We have been long an observer of the
crops and never make statement that can not be
relied upon as correct.
The Alexandria Democrat of the 25th has the fol-
lowing:
The weather for the past week has partaken much
of the character of the previous onerequent rains
with clouds and sunshine. We have now promise of
clear warm weather.
The Crops.-Cotton is very much injured by the
rains. Under the most favorable circumstances, the
cotton planters of our parish can not realize half
crop. Some few will, however, suffer but little.
Sugar is doing spenddly. If nothing occurs to
blight the fair promises now vouchsafed u.s. the
planters may well rejoice.
The corn crop has been abundant
Potatoes, plenty and to spare. Grass and weeds
magnificent!
The East Feliciana Argus of Wednesday last says
Five or six wagon loads OF cotton passed through
Clinton on yesterday. We understand that the cotton
crops in this parish are more promising than they
were few days ago.
