BABEL BUILDING.

s. BABEL BUILDING. :,
Truly, ''there is nothing new under
the sun" A very ancient record gives
an account of a great "fusion demon
stratien" in the Plains of Shinar, with
its happy results. The descendants of
these .'fasionists" are improving upon
the work of their ''illustrious predecess-
ors. y The original Babel builders un-
dertopk the erection of their sTower"
out Of brick and slime. Our modern
BABEL builders are using the same mate
rial. e1ccja the L,ick We are told that
the,slanguage of the old-time builders
was ''corfounded," and themselves scat
tered abroad. That our readers may see
the confusion worse confounded'' of the
modern 'Shinar,' we give few of the
latest specimens of their language.
There are four Electoral tickets in
Ohio-ths Republicans, Douglasites,
Bellgerines, and Breckinridgers. The
last three, about to be- scattered abroad,
proposed to build modern ssTower, y
and thinking their forefathers failure
resulted from their using too MANY
"bricks," resolved to make theirs of
slime alone, of which they seem to have
an inex ha ustable supply. But we think
they. will soon leave off building, for
their language is already so COMPOUNDED
that they cannot, understand each other.

REPUBLlCANIsM IN VIRGINIA.

If the people. of Virginia were per-
mitted to vote by ballot, as we are in
Ohio, Lincoln would receive a very
large vote on the 9Th of November
But this the chivaliy will not permit,
and consequently, in most parts Of the
State, man would endanger his life to
vote for the man of his choice. This is
more than most men can be expected to
do. There are several counties border
ing on fennry lranio and Ohio, in which
the free labor element has become strong
enough to protect itself fro m murderous
assault and in these counties Lincoln
will receive heavy vote. Wheeling
has become, like St. Louis, substantially
free labor community, and, unless
overpowered by force from other parts
of the State, will give Lincoln a major
ity of her votes There are several
hundred voters in Mason County, oppo-
site this place, who are earnest Repub-
licans. But whether they may think
it safe to vote the ticket we do not
know. We are not sure that they
ought to put their lives in jeopardy,
but we do say that wherever Republi-
can can exercise the right of suffrage with
out endangering his life, it is his duty
to do SO. True, Lincoln will be elected
without this sacrifice But ten thou
sand votes cast for the right in
the State of Virginia, would have
more moral power than one hundred
thousand in the Free States where mob
law and rufian outrage do not deter
men, from the performance of their
duty. We here give the Republican
Electoral Ticket of Virginia, and sin
cerly hope that every true Republican,
who can, with personal safety, will vote
it on the 9th of November.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Pittsburgh Journal, of the 18th,
says:
"We have been surprised at the num-
Der Of persons who within the last few
days have expressed doubts to US as to
the result of the November election in
New York. There has never at any
time since the Chicago nomination been
one moments doubt in our mind that
Lincoln would carry the State by an
overwhelming maj jority 1t is simply a
question whetheritshall be fifty, seventy
five or one hundred thousand. No com
binations among the warning elements of
the opposition can defeat Lincoln. If
Douglas and Breckinridge' fuse, men
from either wing whom no leaders can
sell, cleave off and refuse to vote, or else
vote for the man of their choice. IF
Douglas and Bell unite, citizens of for
eign birth refuse to be transferred to the
Know Nothings, and vote for Lincoln.
New York is just as sure for Lincoln
as Vermont. AS the North american
justly says, when Pennsylvania cast her
vote last Tuesday, she decided that
Abraham Lincoln should be the next
President; and we care not what combi-
nations may be formed, what conspira-
cies hatched, what coalitions made, that
determination cannot be changed. Every
attempt to tinker and traffic is but a con-
fession of weakness, and when men are
seen conniving together, who were born
and who have lived in political antagon-
ism, it may we'll be supposed they are
driven to the last and worst extremity.
In this State they openly combined on
Mr.. Foster, and the people rose up in
their might and crushed out the conspi
racy. And SO they will do in New York
with equal decision. .sar.
shrewd Bet on Elections.
The Springfield Republican reports
bet which we think is as well worth re-
cording as any other of the "signs of
the times" z.r- .s--
"Look here,' said Republican to
noisy Bell man, II will bet you hun
dred dollars that I can name fifteen
States that Lincoln will get; and then
will bet you five hundred dollars more
that [ can name five additional States
that will go for Lincoln. The money
was put up, The Republican then
named the fifteen Slave States as those
upon which he proposed to risk the
hundred dollars, and Maine, Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire, Vermont and
as the FIVE additional States
upon which he proposed to risk the five
hundred.
The Bell man rubbed his eyes, and
since the Pennsylvania election, if not
before, looks for net loss of four hun
dred dollars as the cost of this lesson in
political betting. 1t may safely be said
that there is now one convert to the
folly of this form of political gambling

Ia W INTELLIGENCE.

CRIMINAL CoURT-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge
Milton Whitney, ESQ.,, States Attorney.
After the call of the jurors yesterday morning,
Judge Stump remarked: That it would be necessa-
ry for the Court to be in Annapolis Tuesday,
(to-day,) as the Committee on his case had conclu
ded to hear more testimony. They had heard some
evidence last week, but they have so much business
on their hands, everybody pushing their own bills,
and great deal of confusion down there, that they
had not examined all his witnesses, but had con-
sented to open the case again. He would there
fore be compelled to adjourn again until next
Monday. He was very sorry that the Court could
not 90 with its business, but it was necessary
that it should be so; he must go and defend him
self, He thought it prudent to take more testimo-
ny, and supposed the case would not be concluded
before Thursday or Friday. However, the Court
would be present on Monday next, whether the tes-
timony concluded or not
The Judge then discharged the Petit Jury until
Monday next at II o'clock.
The Grand Jury in session for about one
hour, and ordered a number of witnesses to be
summoned before them next Monday.
Augustus Ford, charged with committing an as
sault upon Mr.. VIM. Rhodes, on the night previous
to the last election day, had his bail liked at
$3.50.
Owing to the fact that large number of prison
ers confined in the Jail, some of whom had
been committed there, and confined on trivial
carges, the Grand Jury, with a view to inves-
tigate the cases, and if, in their power, to
release such parties entitled to dis
charge, resolved to visit the jail and release
those persons who were suffering from too long
incarceration on account of the interruption
of the business of the Court for the past three
weeks.
Accordingly, at 312 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the Grand Jury visited the Jail, and at once pro-
ceeded to examine into the most prominent cases,
of unjust confinement and hardship. The jurors
had not sufficient time to enquire into many cases
which were called to their attention, owing to the
shortness of time, but resolved, by vote, during
the present term of the Court, to visit the Jail and
thoroughly investigate the cases of all who might
be there confined not under Indictment That
there is great need of reform in the mode of i'm
prisoning and keeping confined certain class of
persons sent to Jail no one can doubt. In the
short time during which the Grand Jurors were at
