| POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.-A special dis
patch from Washington to the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
"The accounts from Connecticut are cheer
ing for the Republicans. The town elections
show large gains from last year, although the
result then was considered highly favorable.
So the Partially for Douglas displayed by
sundry Democratic journals and politicians of
that State has not greatly advanced the
Democratic cause.
"ln Massachusetts, the Congressional dis
tricts are selecting their delegates to Charles
ton, but the greatest unanimity does not pre-
vail among the unterrifed. So far, Douglas
and the Administration equally dividematters.
The Democratic success in Georgia is
about what was expected. Most of the Dem
ocratic candidates for Congress repudiated
Dougasism, and Crawford went so far as to
say that, if he was nominated at Charleston,
he would advise all the Southern delegates to
60 home.
"The report from New Jersey is that Alden,
the Opposition candidate for Governor, will
carry the State by 1000 majority.
Members of Congress are beginning to
arrive in considerable numbers, looking out
for winter quarters, and devising schemes for
the next session. Among the recent arrivals
are Senators Davis, Yulee, and Others"

ANEW PHASE OF TIE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY
The Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican writes, under date of
Sept. 3Oth:
"Ofical dispatches, received yesterday,
from General Harvey, give an entirely new
coloring to the transactions at San Juan
Island, and, had they been received here
before General Scott left for the Pacific, he
would not have been sent. In these dis
patches, General Harvey expresses regret, as
we'll as surprise, at the exaggerated rumors
which have been filling the columns of the
newspaper press, and assures the President
that there has not only been no collision
between the troops, but not the slightest
apprehension of any. He treats the whole
matter at issue as one of little importance, and
in no way likely to involve the peace or
dignity of the country.
1.-THE dispatches of Gen. Harvey were
Immediately communicated to President Bu-
chanan by Col. w. r. Drinkard, acting Sec
rotary of War, and it is rumored that special
messenger will be dispatched overland to
intercept Gen. Scott, if possible, and counter
mand his orders"

DOUGLAS OPINION IN REGARD TO THE SLAVE
TRADE.-The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune gives the following as
the views of Mr.. Douglas, freely expressed
few evenings since, at his own home:
In regard to the slave trade, Mr.. Douglas
states that there was not the shadow of a
doubt but that it had been carried on quite
extensively for long time back, and that
there had been more slaves imported into the
Southern States during the last year than had
ever been imported before in any one year.
even when the slave trade was legal. 1t was
his confident belief that over $4,000 slaves
had been brought into this country during the
past year. He had seen, with his own eyes,
800 of those recently imported, miserable
beings, in slave-pen in Vicksburgh, Miss,
and also large numbers at Memphis, Tenn.

The Swiss.

In some great battle 1--WE have forgotten the
nancy of Napoleon, in the heat and CRISIS Oh
tho battle one whole column of the Swiss
regiments belonging to his army suddenly
faced right about in their tracks, leveiled tneir
pieces in the faces of their unsuspecting
comrades, and fred; their shot literally
plowed bloody burrows through the ranks OF
the betrayed army, and the day was the
enemy's.
Something like this has been our fate IN
the election just closed, in this county. " hoie
columns Of our friends (those who called
themselves such) faced about, quickly, quietly
secretly, and delivered their fire right at the
breasts of their own friends. Some OF these
recusants are men for whom we have 1oush'
in the ranks. and who expect to receive our
support again. 49,,
Now. we have no quarrel with those
Republicans who voted for Thayer, Lucas ana
Gordon, nor any harsh feelings or words ior
their benefit. These would do no good AT
all events, we, and all those who stood up
faithfully to the straight ticket, can STAND II
as long as our friends who left us can.
We only wish, now, to say word when
can never be better said, and will probably be
more needed now than it will in the heat Of
another election. The two hundred kepuo-
leans who. last Tuesday, deemed it best to
vote with their and our enemies, and to strike
down their own standard bearers, had, we
have no doubt, what they honestly deemed
very Good and solid reasons for their action
We know of many, personally, who sincerely
thought they were actingupon the best reasons
;maoinable. But we now ask them, candldly,
if their reasons, when sifted down to the real
kernel of the matter, did not amount to just
this personal preference for some OF the
Democratic candidates, and some immaterlal
personal dislike of the action OF some person
or other in their own party? We have only
10 say to these friends that, hereafter, when
they may have places or friends on our ticket
or feel deeply interested in the success OF Our
principles, it will be we'll for them and tor our
party that there are men in it who, when the
occasion calls, know how to sacrifice their
personal likes and dslikes for their principles
Against the gentlemen who have neeh
elected we have nothing to say personally
Whatever may DC their merits, we had men
at least equally as deserving and competent
on our side. Messrs. Thayer, Lucas ana
Gordon have won for themselves highly
flatterinr expression of personal esteem from
our Republican friends. We accord them
that admiration which always belongs TO
success, but we could desire that Republicans
would have chosen a slightly less suicidal
mode of expressing their personal esteem ior
these gentlemen.
This has been a mistake on your part
fellow Republicans, and when you come, next
Fall, to fight, in very important election
against power of your own raising up you
will see it, As it is now, you will just nave
to fight the harder then, and see that you 90
not repeat such dose to your straight-out
Republican friends.
