A Great Failure.

One of the first consequences of the re.
cent news from Europe is the failure of ia.
cob Little, the greatest stock operator oil
New York, for the little bagatelle of a
couple of millions. 1t is quite IN order and
according to precedent for Jacob to fail
whenever anything seriously deranges the
market. He has failed three or four times
before for immense amounts, and it leads us
to believe, that he is not altogether the
shrewd operator that he is sometimes repre-.
sented to be. The great Jewish houses gen
orally contrive to make money in times o.
disturbance. It seems that Jacob is equally
successful in losing it. He has been play.
ing the role of the leading "bulr' in the
market, and the "bears" have trampled him
down. 1t is fortunate thing that there il
not another rotten Ohio Life and Trust Com
pany 10 come down at this time.

A Sharp Transaction.

A shoe dealer named Henry Mears, has
been swinding his creditors at Toledo, Ohio,
after the following sharp fashion. He gave
out that his brother was dead, closed his
store and lied Grape on the door. The Blade,
issued few days since, says:
To. day, however, strange to relate, the
Grape was still waving from the shoemakr's
door, and no signs of life were visible about
the establishment. Suspicion was, perhaps,
started by the noticeable fact that very
small portion of Grape was allowed for his
brotherly mourning demonstration, coupled
with the report that certain friends of his
were "severally bound" by certain instru'
ments of writing, much to their pecuniary
disadvantage in case of any "accident," and
an examination of the premises was resolv.
ed on. "'Twas said-'was done, and 10 !''
"a beggarly account of empty boxes, and O
stock of boots and shoes non est, proved tc
be the only remains for which tie Grape die
duty. The enterprising merchant and hi.
goods were gone ! Whether his creditors
will each attach piece of that "weed," by
which to remember their bereaved friend, Of
not, we won't pretend to say, but we do think
this mourning dodge will pass muster among
the sharpest tricks OF the day.

The Convention on the 26th inst

The Convention on the 26th inst.
One week from to-day the State Conven.
ton will meet at Columbus to nominate a
State ticket and transact other important
business. No assemblage Of our party for
many long years has been more important
than this one will be. This county has al.
ready appointed its delegates, and although
they are pledged to pursue no particular line
of policy, we feel sure that they thoroughly
understand the wishes and sentiments OF
their constituents, and have deeply at heart
the success of the Democracy Of Ohio in
the fall of 1859.
The unanimity and harmony which pre-.
vail in oil parts of the State are guarantees
that the proceedings of the Convention will
be such as every good Democrat should hope
for and expect, and the nominations of a
character to command the united and enthu.
siastic support Of the entire party. With
such harmony, good ticket, strong plat
form, and vigorous contest, we feel son.
guine that the State may be carried by the
Democracy in October next.

Langston has been sentenced to an impris.

and Loveland-are to pay fine of 500, and
undergo an Imprisonment Of twenty-four
hours. The other cases have been contin.
ued until July.
A few more sentences like the above will
serve to convince the fanatics of the Re-

being punished for so doing.

Need not be Concerned,

Some of the opposition papers seem to
be troubling themselves over the fact, that
no one individual in the Democratic ranks
is earnestly seeking q nomination for Gov.
ernor. They throw out the idea that the
reason Of this is, because the party is moi
confident of success. We are perfectly
willing that they should think SO. Before
long they will learn, however, that the De
mocratic party succeeded in nominating I
State Ticket composed of good men--t
Ticket that will be elected. Whenever tht
Democratic party is sanguine of success
before State Convention they usually pu
in nomination such Ticket as will go ia
to ensure success. Such we predict will b.

vention that will meet on the 26th inst

A MHn Suddenly Becomes Insane
Heroic Conduct Of his Sister

A man named John w. Halsted left his
home in the interior of Illinois last week.
and with his sister started for California. -
Arriving in this city they took passage on
the steamer Arctic for Buffalo. Before the
boat started Mr.. Ha!sted manifested unmis-
takeabe signs of insanity. He frolhed at
the mouth, talked wildly to his sister, and
acted insanely in other ways. His sister
deemed it best to go ashore with him. She
did so, and by advice of some friends took
him to Mr.. Edwards tavern in Newburg,
where, away from noise and hustle, she hop
ed he would speedily recover. In the night
she was aroused by hearing the window of
the room in which she had placed her bro
ther, which adjoined hers, open. She has
tened to the room, and found that her bro
ther had jumped to the ground and was rum
ming wildly across the fields. Quickly
throwing on dress, but not stopping to put
on her shoes and stockings, she pursued
him and nearly overlook him, calling pit
eousIy on him to stop He answered that
men were close at his heels who wanted to
murder him, and he could not stop. ..
Through the woods and swemps, in a
strange country, barefooted and in tine night
this noble woman pursued her mad brother
to ChOgrin Falls, distance Of twelve tiles
He knew her, and would every now and ther
allow her to almost overtake him. HI
would speak kindly to her, but could no
stop, as the murderers were lurking near t
kill him. At the Falls, through the aid o
some of the citizens, she succeeded in cap
turing him.. She brought him to this city
and gave him in charge of Sheriff Wight
man, who kindly cared for him for fey
days, until he became somewhat quiet, AM
yesterday he took him to the Newburg Asy
lum. 80 ,.n r-- ,.... ,
The unfortunate man is apparently abou
thirty three years old. Religious excite
{ ment is supposed to be the cause Of his insan
ity. The attack was very sudden, as he ap
peared 10 be entirely sound of mind until
} he went aboard the Arctic. He is man Q

Extraordinary Letter of GOV. wise.

The following letter from the erratic Cover
nor of Virginia, was addressed to man named
Donnelly, prominent New York politician.
The letter was evidently private one, but by
some means 1t got into the papers;
RIoHMoNp, July 18th, 1859.
DEAR SR:--I thank you for yours of the Slh
inst. have apprehended all along that the
Tammany Regency would carry a united dele
CATION from New York to Charleston. For
whomY Douglas, know, is confident; but you
may rely on IL that Mr.. Buchanan is himself q
candidate for denomination, aud all his patron.
age aud power will be used to disappont
Douglas and oil other asprants. Our only
chance is to organize by districts, and either
whip the enemy or send two delegations.
1t that is done or not done, we must still rely
on united South. A united South will de-
pend on a united Virginia, aud pledge you
that she, at least, shall bo unit. Virginia q
unit, aud persistent aud firm on sound plat
form of protection, to all persons Of popular
VS.. squatter sovereignty, she must rally to her
support all the South. The South cannot adopt
Mr.. Douglas platform. II is short cut TO all
the ends of Black Repubicanism. He then
will kick up his heels. II he does or don't he
can't be nominated, and the main argument
against his nomination is, that be can't be elect
ed If nominated. II be runs OH independent
candidate, and Seward runs, aud am nomina.
ted at Charleston, ] can beat them both. Or
II Squatter Sovereignty is plank of the plat
form at Charleston, and Douglas is nominated,
the South viii! run an independent candidate
on protection principles, and run the election
into the House. Where. then, would Mr.. Doug
las be? The lowest candidate on the list II
J have the popular strength, you suppose /.
will itself fix the nomination. Get that aud /
am confident Of success.
The Hon. +. Wood is professedly, and really,
| believe, friend, and Of course would do
nothing TO impair 1t, and could not justly reject
his kind; but you may rely upon il that am
not completely. nor at ALL in the hands of Mr..
Wood, or of any man who breathes. He has
always been friendly TO me, and am 20 him,
but always on fair and Independent terms,
There Ia nothing in our relations which should
keep aloof any friend Of either. He knows as
well as any one can tell him, that his main in-
fluence is in the city of New York, and Judge
what you say of bis country infencc is correct.
But am counting all the time without New
York, and | don't fear the result am de-
pending solely upon open position Of principle,
Independent of all oliques, and defying all
comers. We will overwhelm opposition in
Virginia, and her vote will be conservative and
national.
At all events, shall always be glad TO hear
from yon, and am. yours truly.
