REMEDY FOR HYDRopHoBIA.--A freeze up
like the present is always dangerous on ac

should be careful to supply the animal

against by drophobia. Frequent cases of this
terrible disease occur in severe winter weather,
simply because the poor dogs find it impossi-

To neither of these questions did the competitors of
Mr. Whitthorne deign reply, probably believing
that they we're not questions worthy of investiga-
ton. He declared that Judge Douglas, in assuming
that slavery is local and not national occupies pre-
cisely the same position of Joshua R. Giddings in
the celebrated Creole case, when he opposed indem-
nifty, on the ground that when the slaves on board
the Creole passed beyond the marine Jurisdiction of
the State of Louisiana, they were freemen, and not
entitled to be considered slaves, although they
under the protection of the flag of the Union.
AS speaker Mr.. Whithorne is vehement, but
self possessed and cool, rapid in argument, pointed
in illustration, close in logic and terrible in rspares
We think that the most stolid spectator must
have been convinced yesterday that he had greatly
the advantage of his competitors, in position, in ar
gument, and in earnestness of purpose. The enthu
siasm was all on the Democratic side. The Bel
party were evidently laboring under some strong
depression. The Democracy was jubilant and en-
thusastic throughout the debate, listening to both
Judge Brien and Col. Watterson with patience and
respect, and applauding Mr.. Whithorne with
the highest esrnestness and exultatIOn. When we
are able to say this for Nashville. our friends can

Another Reason for the I,5OO GaIn In
CaYaROga County.

The Cincinnati Enquirer in speaking of the thirteer
hundred gain to the Republicans in Cuyahoga county
at the election Tuesday last asserted that thesuD
porters of Breckenridge and Lane voted the Adolf
ton ticket. We pronounce this false, and charge
that most of the great gain was consequent upon
Mr.. Douglas invading this city and making speech
here week or two before the election. A friend,
who knows what he says, gives reason for The
rest of the gain. $50
An the s6-called Democratic tickets we're printed
at the Paindeaier Office. The Douglas party failed
to provide money to pay for them, and persons go
ing to that office on the morning of the election to
get their tickets, were coolly told they must pay for
them before they could be delivered. The polls
were opened at o'clock IN the morning and at
many Of the Ward polls there was not Douglas
ticket until some two hours thereafter and many
labering men who wanted to vote early, so to be
at their work in time, were forced to leave for want
of tickets to vote. They could not spare time to 90
TO the PLdindedler Office TO purchase them and many
not wishing to vote the ticket of concern so bank
rupt as the Douglas party, took the short step be-
tween Squatter Sovereignty" and the irrepressi-
be conflict and voted the Lincoln ticket

The particulars of the disasters attendant upor
the late tornado in Lou isiana continue to come il
from the interior parishes of the State, The
amount Of damage done to the sugar manufactures
to the cane crop, and to the cotton is incaculabe
The Baton Rouge AdeOcdte says
Accounts from the cotton region are deplorabIe
The storm made complete sweep of every opened
boil on the plantation have heard from Its dis
astrous effects extended as high as Yicksburg and
how far west we cannot say. The loss from de-
structOn to cotton alone will probobly amount to
over 81 100000. Loss sugar crop we are unable
to estimate. The loss in Baton, Rouge including
coal boats, viii reach fully 100000. At Point
Ccmpee great deal of open cotton was scattered
over the ground for acres, causing the farms to look
like q snow storm had fallen"
The New Orleans papers contain a list of thirty
two sugar-houses and purgeries blown down on the
Lafourche and Bayou Black at Terrehonne and Lit
tie Gallon This is only part of the loss sustained
in this way and in addition this is the fact that
the cane, by being Frustrated is seriously damaged
Every joint that touches the ground if the weather
continues warm, will soon throw out rootlst. and
commence to grow, destroying all the sacharine
properties of the cane aid rendering it useless in
the present crop. Taken altogether, no greater
calamity could have fallen upon the sugar-growing
region.
