Forney on the Administration.

We publish to-day extracts from the re-
cent Address of JoHN w. FoRNEY, Of
Philadelphia, defending himself against .he
attacks Of the administration. An atten-
tive perusal of those extracts will throw
much light on the way the administration
keeps its power. In the days of Jefferson,
an officeholder was turned out of place for
interfering in elections: in the days Of Blu
chanan, they are turned out because they
wiH not NEEDLE with elections, spend their
money, and brawl for the powers that be.
Forney brings to light much of the bribery
and corruption that is practiced, and Of
course is set upon by the administration
hirelings, and held up as great scoundrel.
If he is the sort of man the administration
organs represent him, il is exceedingly I'M
fortunate for them that they did not earlier
discover the fact. Then they would have
been spared the deep humiliation and bitter
modification of finding themselves con.
strained to brand as infamous a man pre-
viously honored above all others by the ad-
ministraiion and themselves.
Less than two years ago the President Of
the United States addressed this letter 10
prominent member Of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, and not even Col. Forney's
enemies can or do charge that he has since
done anything personally dishonorable:
WHEArLAND, Jan. Z, 1857.
MY DEAR SIR: Although | have always
refrained from interfering in the choice Of
Senators by the Legislature, yet the high
confidential relation which q Pennsylvania
President ought 10 sustain towards Penn
sylvania Senator at the present moment in
duces me 10 say a few words TO you as a
valued friend on the pending Senatorial
election. / learn that doubts have been
expressed as 10 my preference among the
candidates, and, though my opinion may be
entitled TO little weight, / do not desire 10 be
placed in an equivocal position on this or
any other subject. When asked, have al
ways said l preferred Col. Forney, and l
should esteem it friendly act towards my
self for any person in or out of the Legis-
ture to support him. At the same time |
desire to express my warm personal and
political regards for Messrs. Robbins, Fos-
ter, Buckalew, and Wright. From the
course pursued by Mr.. Brodhead for some
years past, confidential relations between
him and myself have ceased,
/ have thus presented 10 you my views,
so that, if you should deem it necessary,
you may speak my sentiments to such per-
sons as may consider them of value.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

Elections.
HENRY S. Morr, ESQ.

On the 18th inst, general elections were
held in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa. In Pennsylvania Supreme Judge,
Canal Commissioner, and twenty five men,
bers of Congress were to be chosen. The
present Congressional delegation stands
fifteen democrats TO ten republicans. The
combined opposition 10 the administration
expect TO gain at least four memabers, and
considering the split on the Lecompton is
sue in several districts where the two wings
OF the democracy are running separate
tickets, their chances are very good. In
Ohio portion of the State officers were 10
be elected; but the great struggle was for
members of Congress, of which twenty
one were 10 be chosen. The present dele
CATION stands twelve republicans 10 nine
democrats. In Indiana eleven members of
Congress were 10 be chosen. The repHb-
licans have five Of the present delegation
In addition 10 two members of Congress,
Iowa was TO elect Secretary OF State. Au-
ditor of Public Accounts, Attorney Gener-
al, Register of the State Land Office, Com

they may be cured most effectually. The best

On. BRAGG.-Dear Sir: For more than three
years myself and daughter have been afflicted with
sore eyes IN an aggravated degree, and tried va

FRoM WAsHISGToN, Oct. ga private
letter received from Arizonin, states that
the Fort Yuma wagon road, under Colonel
Reach, is nearly completed.
The largest political convention ever held
on the Rio Grande, assembled at Messilla
on the Sd of September; about 10000 per-
sons were present. Resolutions were
passed, calling on Congress TO organize the
Territory at an early day; determining not
to send members 10 the Legislature Of New
Mexico and TO hold new election for DEL
egates to Congress in order 10 show the
largely increased vote since last year.
The convention was addressed BY Lieut..
Mowry and others. Considerable emlgra-
ton was coming into Arizona from Texas
and the southern States, as well as from
the northwest. Col. Titus, of Kansas,
had arrived with party TO make settle
ment on the San Pedro. The yield OF the
silver mines continued 10 increase. and sew
eral new ones were opened.

CRYSTAL PALACE BuRSr.-The great
Crystal Palace Of New York, together with
its contents, was destroyed by fire, on the
9Th. The Times says the flames spread SO
rapidly that in twelve minutes the dome
fell, and in twenty-one minutes almost the
whole structure was burned 10 The ground.
One Of the minarets still stands, and small
portions of the wall are yet erect. The
firemen were or the ground in fifteen min
utes after the first alarm, and worked man.
fully, but they were too late 10 be of SER
vice. They kept playing on the ruins all
the evening, hoping TO save some of the
machinery. A crowd collected about the
Palace-such q crowd as has not collected
there before since the grand opening and
the most contradictory rumors prevailed as
TO the origin Of the fire and its Effects
Many Of the visitors inside leaped from the
windows, and climbed down the pillars of
the piazza, and for a long time it was
thought that some must have persisted in
the flames, but at midnight we could not
learn that any lives had been lost.
The value of the property destroyed can
scarcely be estimated with any degree of
accuracy. The Palace was valued by the
American Institute, when they essayed 10
buy it at $l25,o00. The goods on exhibit
tion at the Fair and the statuary which had
been left since the Worlds Fair, at a low
estimate, must have been worth 1926 900,
making total Of $3.50, 600.

THE TOBACCO CRoP.-We learn (says
the Richmond, Va, Enquirer) from a gen.
tleman familiar with the prospect of the
growing crop of Tobacco, that the yield
will be about half an average in the coun-
ties Of Louisa, Albermarle, Orange and
Spotsylvania. II is the opinion of those
who have watched the market steadily for
the last FIVE years, and the product of the
country for the same period of time, that
in no single year has full, general crop
been made within that time. Each year
the stock Of former years has been decreas-
ing, and the opinion is expressed that less
old tobacco was on hand last season than
has been the case for many years. We
hear that The planters of the lower river
counties Of Maryland are now securing
their tobacco, and that the crop is far from
being good one. The crop of Prince
Georges will average better than those Of
Charles and St. Mary's; but this even is
not what may be considered good. Some
plantations (but they are very few will
produce an average yield, but not Of SUI
periOr quality.

seven hundred men, and stopped the laying

division, until the company paid them
The result was very uncertain, and the ex-
element ran pretty high. The company
had offered to pay the hands, in order to
get them out of the way. Should they &C.
cept their pay, and leave, it was thought the
citizens would back the contractors against
the company. Trouble was anticipated, if
the company refused TO settle.
