Of discussion at that place recently. Mr..

pleasant things to the ladies, and then pitched
into the Little Giant-caled the Douglas

no more Democrat than hound pup was
laastiff, or blooded pointer. He attacked
Hon. John Bell, Edward Everett and their
party, and gave the audience dose of worm
wood and gall. mixed occasionally with a
very little honey. Col. AdOlphus Olivier pat
to him two questions, which he answered
frankly, and We hope the public will careful
ly note both the questions aud answers. They
were these

Sugar Crop.

The terrible storm of yesterday and the
night before is another, and the crowninp
disaster which the staple production of lower
Louisiana has sustained this : on Start
ing with almost an entirely destioye ed stubble.
by the bad winter, our cane crop next en-
cOuntered an extraordinary drOuth. which
had dwarfed and cnfeebled the plant cane TO
degree that few weeks ago produced IL
general dependency among the planters In
the upper regions of the sugar districr. and
on the highlands generally. there has Len
liCtle more cane produced than win be Suffi-
cient for planting next year. Aliny very
large planters will not start their Ills this
season, but will pFudently save their cane for
the next years planting.
PreTious TO the storm OF yesterday, very
sag lcious cultivatOrs estimated the proba BILE
tor,sl crop a 10000 hogsbeads, against 22I.-
600 of last year, which was a short season
Even this estimate will be subject to a large
reduction by the great storm, provided 1T has
extended through the cane district. We can
hardly remember so severe and so long con-
tinued ii hurricane in this State. The effects
on the cane which had attained its maturity
will be exceedingly disastrous, especially if
it should be followed by warm weather.
Having always aimed at, and generally sue
ceeded In giving our readers reliable intelG-
gence in regard 10 sugar prospects, we feel
quite safe in our present estimates of the crop
OF this season at not more than $50 900 hogs
heads.-N. O. DeLtd Oct g.

Politics in Oregon.

By the arrival of the Pony Express at ST
Joseph, Mo-, on the 9TH, we have the follow
ing from Oregon:
"a report was in circulation that a con-
templatsd compromise between tine Douglas
and Breckenridge Democrats give each party
one Senator, on condition that the seeding
or Breckenridge Senators would return and
give the Senate legal organization.
The Lower House passed resolution on
the 10th, inviting the Senae in its disorgan-
lied condition to meet in joint convention the
next day and proceed at once to the election
Since then no accounts have been received
from Salem. The Douglas and breckenridge
parties had each hello conventions and nomi-
mated electoral tickets. The Breckenridge
ticket is as follows: DelaZon Smith, James
O'Meara, and s. William DOu9hitt- Douglas
ticket-Wn. II. Farrar, Benz. Harding, and

The Late EcliDse.

In letter from Professor BACHE, Superin-
tendent of the Coast Surrey, published in Sill
liman's Journal for September. we find an
account of Lieut.. GIILIss's expedition to the
western coast of the United States, for the
Coast Survey, to observe the late eclipse:
THE sun there rose eclipsed, and the mois-
ture OF the air was so great at the time that
they were obliged frequently to wipe away
the dew from the objeci-glasses of their tele-
scopes. At the moment of totality, beads of
golden and ruby-cOlOred light flashed almost
entirely around the moon, not constant even
for second at Que point, but fitfully flashing.

Douglas Attrcked In the Hear.

at Leavenworth City, Sept 26, 1860. which
is headed: Startling Disclosures. Douglas

to 'read." 1t occupies something like four
columns, and consists of letters from several
members of the Lecompton Convention. and
Others. intended to prove the allegation that:
Ar. DOUGLAS wrote Mr.. JOHN CAIHoUS-wbo
IS now dead-the president of that conven-
non, suggesting the plan of submitting the
slavery clause of the constitution to the nen-
ular vote, which was the plan finally adopt
ed, and pledging his support to it in that
form In Congress. That is the sum and sub
stance of the startling disclosures" The
witnesses testify cOntradictorily-some saw
ing they heard of no such letter-some that a
letter was written by Mr. DOUGLAS urging the
submission of the entire constitution-and
others that the letter was what is alleged.
We hardly know which to trust, or whether
to place credence in either of them. We in
cline TO mistrust everything that emanates
from that region. The shortest and surest
way to settle the business is. to orr mind
the production of the letter. The failure to
DO this Will throw doubt upon the

was never mentioned, during the two or
three years that have interviewed since its al

WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 10. 1860.
The Elections Yesterday in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania

Elections for Governor and Members OF
Congress took place yesterday in PennsyI Iva
MIA and Indiana. and in Ohio for Members
Of Congress. In the first named State Fos-
TER is the candidate for Governor who will
be voted for by the Opposition to CURTIN, the
Republican candidate. FOSTER was nominal
ted early last spring, before the Charleston
Convention, as the Democratic candidate.
The Union party have nominated no candi-
date. In bis canvass Mr.. FOSTER has avoided
the espousal of either BREcKINRIDGE or
DOUGLAS, and by his course has commended
himself to the support of the friends of both,
and to some extent to that of the friends OF
Mr.. BELL Should the election result in his
favor, it cannot be appropriated by either,
but must be regarded as the triumph of the
combined opposition to Republicanism. And
should he be defeated by the Republican can
didate, it cannot be considered an absolute
test of the Republican strength in that State,
for the reason that the tariff question occu-
pies leading place in Pennsylvania politics,
and the charge has been zealOusly urged that
FOSTER is opposed to the tariff Since the
largely into the public thought and sympa-
thy, and thousands of the friends of Mr..
BELL, or even DOUGLAS, might be driven from
his support on this ground, and yet vote for
those gentlemen in the Presidential election.
In Indiana, We believe Mr.. HENDRICKs oc-
cupies a position like that of Mr.. FOSTER,
having been nominated as a democrat before
the break down at Charleston, and the final
disruption at Baltimore, and having so shaped
his canvass as to combine the entire oppOsi-
ton to II. S. LANE, the Republican candidate.
Should ne be successful also, the triumph will
be attributable to the strength of the Oppo-
sition to Republicanism.
Of the canvass in Ohio we cannot speak
definitely. In a few of the districts the
Union men have candidates; but we believe
there are no candidates who ayOw friendship

united throughout these States, and the whole
batch of them may be lost to national con-
servatism by the ill-advised divisions of the
opposition to sectionalism. Wherever the

which have no force in national elections. vet
we are quite certain that the result of those

Cheering News from the Country.

The presence in this city, during the last
few days, of visitors, including merchants
and others, from almost every portion of the
State, has afforded US an opportunity OF
gathering much Information about the atti-
tude of parties in the Commonwealth, and
the prospects of our cause. These prospects,
We are rejOiced to state, are cheering and
encouraging in the highest degree.
During the long period of unbroken dark
ness in which the State has been under the
shadow OF Democracy, there never was a
time when the dawn seemed to be more GER
tainly approaching. The day OF our deliver
ance draws nigh The enemies who have
domineered over US are irretrievably divided,
and fighting each other with a fury that
grows tercer as the decisive day OF election
approaches. Converts from both wings of
the sundered Democracy are constantly COM
ing over to us, to increase our numbers anu
strengthen our hands. They have become
convinced of their utter impotency 10 make
even their mark in the canvass; and satisfied
that the contest is between Lincoln and Sec
tionalism on one side and Bell and patriotism
on the other, they are rallying to the support
of the latter. The cause of the Union is
growing more popular among the people
every day, and, at this day, is in the ascend
ent in Virginia.
Let our friends in every comfy and neigh
borhood perfect their organizations, and

vote and all will be we'll Vigorously push
