8-Democratic Journals in the South
have denounced, without stint, the anti
slavery opinions of the republican candidate
for Governor OF Ohio. But few of them are
consistent enough to condemn the views en-
tsrtained and expressed by the democratic
nominee for the same position, Between the
two, so far as the rights of the STAKEHOLDER
are concerned. there is little difference If
one deserves denunciation, 80 does the other.
Amongst those democratic presses who strive
TO be consistent, is the Jackson HissiSsippGdH.
1t does not hesitate to condemn Judge RAN
NEY as well as Mr.. DENNIsoN. In a recent
Issue it says
We have held mp 10 the indignant gaze Of
our readers the position Of the Black Rrpub-
lican candidate for Governor Of the State Of
Ohio. But we must deal candidly with the
Southern public. His position is but little
more obnoxious to objection than that of his
only competitor, the Democratic candidate. as
above defined. Dennison opposes the fugi-
tive slave law and advocates the power of
Congress to prohibit slavery in the terrific
ries.- Ranney is against the repeal of the
fugitive slave law, and denies the power of
Congress TO exclude slavery from the terri
tories; but be affrms that Shareholders have
no right to take their slaves into the terri
tories without the permission Of the terrific
rial legislature; that territorial legislature
may exclude slavery; and that the power 10
conliscate slave property is vested in the
same body. Each of these propositions is
directly at variance with the decision of the
Supreme Court, and is so palpably outrage
Gus and preposterous That no comment is
required.
With this declaration of faith from the
Democrats (so-called) candidate for Govern
or OF Ohio. before Us, we must confess that
we look with supreme Indifference TO The re-
suit of the election in that State. "A plague
on both your houres!''

Discovery OF MORE MAMMOTH Trrrs.

DISCOVERY OF MORE MAMMOTH TREEs.--A
grove of mammoth trees even larger than
those of Calveras, which have become so cele-
brated as California wonders, has been dis
covered in an unfrequented part Of Maripnsa
county. The largest tree in the Calaveras
group was one hundred and five feet Ia cir
conference. In this more recently discover
ell grove, tree was found measuring one
hundred aud fourteen feet in circumference.
The grove contains six hundred Of these
monstersA-none Others of them, perhaps,
quite that large-but all of them Of approx
mate proportions. These trees grow on the
South Fork of the MERGED river, about thirty
miles southeast Of the town Of Mariposa. One
of the trees, one hundred feet from the ground

GS- Four Eastern newspaper mails were

night, the iback mails due last wsek having
come to hand. They had been detained by
damages done to the Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad by heavy rains which caused por-
tions of the road to break up. The follow
ing article from the Bristol Neucs of the Esd,
gives some Of the particulars:
DAMAGE TO THE Va. & TENN. RAILROAD
The equinoctiai storm last week was much
more severe to the eastward than in this re-
gion, and much damage was done by the
hard blow TO buildings in the cities. TO ship
ping in the harbors, and TO the various rail
roads. Along the line of the Virginia aud
Tennessee Railroad. the heavy rain occa-
sasioned serious damage. An embankmrnt
200 feet high and so feet long was washed
away; an abutment OF a bridge near keutS
Mills IVES also washed away; there was
large slide near WythevIlle and several
smaller ones at other points. These damages
caused some interruption TO the connections
of the trains at this end OF the road, bu. this
was quickly remedied by the prornptness OF
Superintendent Gill, in putting on extra
trains, aud putting all the available force OF
the company to work at repairs.
