The senatorinI EIeetions.

Senator Douglas has just been reelected LOT
six wears from Illinois, and several Senators are
soon to be chosen. The reflections of Mr..
Fessenden, in Maine, and Gen Wilson, in Mas
sachusetts, are certain In Michigan, the prob
ability is that ex Gov Bingham, Republican
will be chosen to the place of would-be Gov
stuart. Democrat. The term of Gen. Shields,
of Minnesota, expires on the 4th of March next
but as the Legislature is not Democratic on
Joint ballot, it is thought the Democratic Gov
ernor will postpone the election for year by
refusing to call the Legislature together The
Democrats at the last session conferred on HIN
the power of convening the Legislature or not
as he sees fit, in view of the contingency when
has arisen.
The subject of Senator is exciting consldera'
ble interest in New Jersey. Com. Stockton Is
a prominent candidate, and has considerable
American strength. Mr.. Gregory appears t.
be in the ascendant among the Republicans
and it is thought some of the Americans and
Anti -Lecompton Democrats will concur IN hi
election. The Administration is doing all Il
can to secure the reelection of Senator Wright
with but Door show of success however.

Re-EIcctioniof senatorIDouglas.

The scene in the Illinois House pending ant
after the Senatorial election was very exciting
and soneWhat tumultuous. When the Senat'
and House had convened in joint Convention
Mr. Barrett, the Oldest Democratic member,
nominated Stephen A. Douglas in an aPPo-
site speech. Mr.. Judd, of Chicago, then nomI'
mated the Peoples Candidate, Abraham Lin
cola The roll was called, when 81 members
voted for Douglas, and 46, for Lincoln The
House was crowded to excess, and when the
result was announced tremendous cheering fol
lowed from the multitude that thTonged the
floor, the lobbies, and the galleries. This wa'
followed with shout quite as deafening by the
friends of Lincoln, and amid vivas for Douglas
and hurrahs for Lincoln the convention broke
up. The hammer of the presiding officer wai
pOwerless in stilling the popular tenn est Out
side the Capitol the roar of cannon, the clangol
of martial music, and cheers of the Douglas
men, carried the news of his triumph over th'
city far and wide.
Soon after the adjournment the Democracy
took possession OF the Hall, and speeches lau
datory of Douglas and denuneiltory of Bu
chanan were the order of the day. A CORES
pondent of the Commercial writes
Ihaye Just learned of capital joke perpetra
ted few minutes ago, by the famous AustiT
Brooks, editor of the Quincy Herald and decap

AN ESCAPED REFORM FARM BoY.-We visit
ed the city prison last evening, and while stand
ing by the comfortably warm stove, our notice
was attracted by weak voice coming from
one of the gloomy cells" See ere, mister, do
YOU know if Mr. Remlin's in town" On look
ing into the cell we saw little boy, not more
than ten or twelve years of age, who informed
us that his name was James Mclaughlin, that
he had run away from the Reform Farm near
Lancaster, and that he was anxious to return
We at once supposed this was the same young
ster immortalized in the Governors Message as
having been the only one who ran away from
the Farm during the last year. He is quite a
bright and intelligent lad and, between the
enormous mouths full of dry bread with which
he was stufing himself with halfstarved vora-
citv, he gave Us a graphic account of his travels
and adventures since he left the Farm; how he
starved all day and froze in store-boxes at night;
how he was arrested at Sandusky, how he was
released, and how he walked to this city alone.
He has had pretty rough time of it all around,
and be thinks if he ever gets back to the Farm
again he will stay there. He was furnished
with bed and some rough "grub'-something
he was very much in need of--by officer W hitsal
in the Station House, where those interested
can get him to-day Columbus Statesman.

state Board OF AgricuIture.

The State Board, of Agriculture will meet at
list for the Annual Fair next September, and to
decide upon The point of location Cleveland,
Zanesyille, Columbus, and Mansfield are the
main points in competition fo7 the State Fair,
and the State Journal expresses the opinion
that the contest lies between Cleveland and &C.
lumbus, the advantages offered by the former,
being, according to the Journal ga splendid
Fair Ground containing one hundred acres, and
mile track for testing the speed and abilities
of horses" The journal also ''learns that the
Cevelaaders have $4,000 raised, as donation" !"
All this may be so, but we guess the 100 acres,
mile track, and $4,000 lack a trihe of being
fixed facts" yet, The Journal enumerates
some of the advantages Columbus presents as a
point at which to hold the great State FAIR OF
Ohio, for 1859, and declares that sin all hu-
man probabilities Columbus will be the point. p"
Perhaps so, perhaps not.

The greater part of the morning session was
occupied in the second reading of bills -

A bill making partial appropriations for the

Whole, and was ordered to be engrossed and
read third time to day. A resolution by MIR.
Miles was passed, instructing the Finance Com
mittee to enquire and report as to the necessity
of a change IN the school law so as to enforce
collection of a tax for building or repairing
school houses, or other purposes, from persons
residing in townships adjacent to those IN which
the school houses are located, and who are ac-
commodated by the school houses erected. A
resolution introduced by Mr.. Harrison and car
ried by vote of "A to AZ, directs the Commit
tee on Common Schools to report upon the
practicabiIity and expediency OF SO amending
| the school law as to require the several eoun-
| ties of the State to draw from the School FUND
the amounts seyerally paid by them pro rata.
MIR. Harrison, of Madison, introduced reso'
luton instructing the Board of Public Works

Great Fire in valparaiso--Loss $4,000, ,OOO.

Great Fire in VRlparaisO--LOssS S5,OOO,OO0.
A terrific conaagration recently occurred at
Valparaiso by which some s5,OOO,OOO of prop
erty was destroyed. 1t broke out in the fore
noon in the cook house of an English Club
Room, and famed by a strong wind the fire
spread through the adjoining wooden buildings
with great rapidity, the fremen soon giving
up all hope of saving anything and stopping
their engines. A letter from Mr.. Geo, C. Gray,
of Salem, Mass, who has been doing business
at Valparaiso for the year past, and who was
burned out, thus speaks of the conhagration:
The buildings destroyed contained splendid
stores, as fine as any in Boston or New York,
filed with elegant goods. The factory of
Messrs. Williams & Co., of New York, with
the great stock of lumber in its yard, made
terrific blaze. One attempt was made to stop
the career of the dreadful element by blowing
up house with gunpowder, but the opers ton
was delayed too long to be of any service The
confsgration had its own way, and the people
trusted in Providence to stop it. The scene at
8 o'clock in the afternoon was a frightful one.
Three or four lumber yards, with hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of lumber and twen-
ty or thirty very large buildings, were all burn
ing at once; the rain was pouring down; the
sea was running very high, and the waves were
breaking on the beach and throwing the spray
upon the fire, which burned till O'Clock in the
evening, when the wind shifted, and it rained
so violently that the fire gradually died out.
The loss, which is immense, falls chiefly on
the foreigners, quite a number of whom are
Americans 1t is estimated ct four or five mil
lions of dollars, the greater part of which is
insured. Messrs. Williams d Co. ere fully in
su-ed. This fire will make business good in
Valparaiso for some time to come, and carpen-
ters' wages WILDE high. The Chilanoes were
nightly pleased to see the factory burn, and
expressed their joy by shouting "Viva Chill"
clapping their hands, DC. Quite number of
lives were lost by the fire, and great many
persons badly injured.

BALLOON =Hln4TlnF
of the LIST inst, gives the following account OF
the safety of Miss Way and Prof. Wilson, who
lately made an excursion from that city, and
many fears had been expressed for their safety,
not having been heard from nearly a week alter
their departure:
The yoyagers, after reaching the height OF
Is, 900 feet, descended until they found a favor
able current Of air to 90 northwest. as they de-
sired to reach jackson. Miss. They crossed
the lake in half an hour, in the direction OF
Covington, enjoying the sight Of the waves
ripping its surface with white foam, dimiy
visible through the veil Of night; sailed over
the pine woods, where several fires afforded
them a grand spectacle, and were conyer,ing
about the magniicence Of what they had seen,
when their course was suddenly checked. TheT
had come down too low and tlieir anchor had
got caught in a tall pine tree. The balloon got
entangled in the trees and the two Adventures
had to remain all night, suspended at some
forty feet above the earth, and not able 10 see
enough to descend on account Of the darkness.
Finally, when day came, Miss Way let herself
down, with the and Of a rope, and went in
search Of help. She reached Dir. McQueen's
house, about half A mile off, and with his assis-
lance the balloon was got down safe. They
then found they had landed in Pike county.
Miss, one hundred and thirty miles from New
Orleans.
The professor writes from Jackson, Miss,
where he intends making an ascension on
Sunday, 7th inst, on the occasion Of a great
Sunday school celebration, which was to take
place there
