State Election.

The returns from the State at large are as yet incomplete, and the result is placed in un- certainty We have returns from some of the principal towns, and they give the Union can didates small majority. Should the Union ticket have made the same gains in the south western portion of the State, as it has else where, we have without doubt carried the State by a handsome majority But, what ever the result may be, the defection of New York and Pennsylvania has given the victory to the Black Republicans, and it is the duty of us all, irrespective of party, to lay aside all political animosities, and act with coolness and deliberation, as becomes patriotic men. For the present, we forbear to comment upon the result.

AN EMIGRANT TRAIN MAssACRED BY INDIANs.-The telegraphic abstract of Ore gon news brought by the last pony express mentioned the massacre of an emigrant party of forty-six persons by the Snake Indians Fuller details have since reached us. The party were first attacked about fifty miles on the west side of Salmon Falls, on the 9th of September. The attack lasted about an hour, The Indians then withdrew and al- lowed the train to proceed about five miles, They then attacked them again. The fight lasted two days and one night. On the af- ternoon of the 10th, the Indians had posses sion of the whole train with the exception of six men, who, being mounted, escaped. After travelling through the woods for nine days, these six were again attacked, and five of the party killed Scheiber alone escaped by hid- ing in the bushes. After travelling seven days without food, he was found in an ex- hausted condition by some persons who took him to the Dalles. Of the nineteen males in the party six were discharged soldiers from Fort Hall. Mr. Scheiber is the only one who escaped. He says that the six men on horseback did not leave until the Indians had complete possession of the train, and from the screams of the women and children he was led to believe that the whole party were butchered.

A SINGLE POUND OF CoTToN-The Lon- don Quarterly review, in an article upon cot ton spinning machines and their inventors thus illustrates the productiveness of brain and hand, by showing what machinery now enables the cotton-spinner to do with pound of cotton. A manufacturer, of Manchester exports what is called Mo- 240 yarn, in large quantities, for the use of the finest foreign muslin manufacturers. Of the finest of tkis thread some idea may be formed when we say that two hundred and forty hanks, each eight hundred and fifty yards in length, are spun from single ponnd weight of cotton, or a total length of one hundred and fourteen miles But this does not by any means ex- haust the capabilities of English machinery; for at the great exhibition of 1851, specimens of yarn spun at Boston were exhibited so fine as No. 700, or equal to three hundred and thirty-four miles in length, spun from one pound of material Worked up into the finer kinds of lace, the original shilling worth of cottonwood before it passes into the hands of the consumer may be increased to the value of between f300 and 9400.

GEORGIA BANKS CHASING TO Do BUsI- NESS WITH THE NoRTH.-A gentleman resid- ing in this city received a letter on Saturday from creditor in Georgia, who remitted at the bank above named to purchase a draft on New York to remit, and was told that no draft could be sold, as the bank had ceased to do business with the North
 The notes on the State Bank of Georgia were taken to Powers banking office and sold Our bankers do not yet decline to receive Southern notes at the customary discount, although the Southern banks decline to do any business with the North

FATE OF ERRING BEAUTY.-Not long ago,

FATE OF ERRING BEAUTY.-Not long ago, even American readers may remember, the most admired woman in Paris was the dame- de-con,toiy at Frascatis, known as ta belle Lt- monadiere, whose beauty set half the young men of Paris crazy. Not only vas the cGte constantly full of persons attracted to see her, but the Boulevard near was often crowded. After while she disappeared, and 1t was given out that she was living in grand style under the protection of some wealthy person. But after an eclipse of some fifteen years she emerged into light again, at the office of the correctional police, on charge of obtaining money under false pretences. Her history was briefly this: Her maiden name was Jen- ne Jackson She was married very young, and her husband in taking her had no other object than to speculate on her beauty. He had paraded her at the cafe Frascati; but she felt humiliated and obtained a separation from him. Then, unfortunately, she went astray; she fell in with a great English No- bleman and he spent millions of francs on her. But after while she formed an attach ment for student, and left the nobleman to join him. For him she sold her diamonds and cachemers, and when she had nothing left he abandoned her, giving her the worth less obligation of 50,OOO. Reduced to the lowest poverty at last, she tried to raise money by passing herself off as Countess and the heir to large estates.

DARING ROBBERY AT A BANK-This morning shortly before eleven O clock, Mcssrs Eyre X Lendell Fourth and Arch streets, sent boy to the Bank of North America to make deposit The deposit consisted of a check for 5000 on the Union Bank, S320 in notes of the denomination S20, SlO, S5, and Sl25 in specie. The boy proceeded to the bank, handed the specie over to the teller to be counted, and laid the book containing the check and the notes down on the counter just at his left hand, while he prepared a |" ticket to hand in with the deposit While engaged in writing the ticket, an individual came up close to him and asked if he knew where the Commonwealth Bank was, at the same instant Gas is supposed) slipping the notes and the checks out of the book. When the boy turned with the ticket in his hand, the book lay at the same place, but the check for S1 ,000 and the S320 in notes were gone So too was the individual who had accosted him. The Sl25 in specie was safe, having been counted by the teller of the Bank The check was stopped, and reward offered for the remainder of the money and the thief

BOLD AssAssINATIoN-PEACEABLE CITI- ZEN SHoT.-About half past six o'clock, MT. B. F. Sweeney, of this county, son-in-law of Reese w. Porter, Esq, and whose resi- dence is about four miles from the city, on the Gallatin road, was called out to the gate in front of his own house, by some person un- known, and before he reached the gate the in dividual who called him, shot him with pis- tol, and then ran off The ball, which was slug-shaped, and about the ordinary Colt IS repeater size, entered the thigh of Mir. Swec- ney, and passed nearly through the leg, with out grazing the bone. Mir. s. staggered as soon as he was shot, and shouted for assistance, and was soon got into the house, and medical aid was called in. We do not believe the wound is considered fatal, though it is severe one. Mir. $. has no suspicion as to who the assassin could have been, and the night was so very dark it was impossible for him to tell whether his assailant was a white or black man. No clue to the person who committed this das- tardly assault has yet been obtained, though the officers are now on the track of the grace less scamp. Messrs. Sweeney and Porter jointly offer reward of $500 for the appre- hension of the assassin. Nash. Banner

CORNELIUS W. MCKAY, son of Donald Mckay, the well-known ship builder, has been arrested in Boston for highway robbery, jointly with two other parties, who have been known to the police before, the victim being Oliver H. Downing money broker, and the sum s2,5OO. Downing was asked to loan this sum to Charles H. Pickering, alias Capen, a regular swindler, whose character, however, he did not seem to know, and he accompanied Pickering over to Chelsea, on the evening of the 18th, to look at his surety. On the way Mckay and his confederate joined in and robbed him. The thing has been kept secret until now, because Mckay promised to see the money restored.

FATAL AccIDENT.-As the express freight train over the Tcrre Haute road was coming east yesterday, an old gentleman named Thorn burgh was struck by one of the beams of the locomotive, in the neighborhood of Bridge port, and instantly killed. From MT. Ed wards, of Louisville, who was passenger, and who witnessed the accident, we learn the following facts; "The train was passing a bridge just west of the crossing. The eng- neer had sounded his whistle and the bell was ringing. He looked out of the door of the car he was in, and saw Thornburgh on foot on the road which crosses the track.
 When the locomotive was not more than fifteen or twenty feet from him lie started to run across the track. Mir. Edwards says he was so sure that the deceased would be struck that he jumped across to the oppusite door, and the first sight that met his view was de- ceased pitching forward. The timber or main beam eff the locomotive had struck him in the side and thrown him some ten or twelve feet. There seems to be some inexplicable infatua- tion attending persons often who are struck or run over by trains of cars. In this case Mr. Thornburgh was on foot, and there was nothing to call him in hurry to the other side of the track. Indiana Sentinel.

ANEW CITY IN VIRGINIA.-A new town, to be called Virginia city" has been laid out near Portsmouth, Va, by an organized com pany, with the view of establishing cotton mills, woolen factories and iron works. The Norfolk Argus says that Virginia city, as laid out, lies inside of the harbor of Norfolk, in the states navy yard and the city of Portsmouth, and extending from three miles along the main harbor, between the seaboard and Rich mond railroad, and the Norfolk and Ports mouth railroad, and the Dismal Swamp and Albemarle and Chesapeake canals, with the best harbor on the Atlantic ocean.

DEATH OF COMMODORE SKINNER-The death of this veteran naval officer has al- ready been announced. He entered the ser vice as midshipman in 1SO9 and performed, altogether, fourteen years and seven months sea duty. He was on shore nineteen years and eleven months, and spent seventeen years unemployed. Few flag officers have done less squadron duty than Commodore Skinner did We believe he never commanded fleet but once, when, in 1915, he relieved the gal lant Commodore Perry on the African sta ton. He was attached to the Washington line-of- battle ship in the Mediterranean dur ing the battle of Waterloo, and subsequently, was chief of the bureau of construction, in lS4S, commander of the Norfolk hayward, in lS47, and superintendent of the ordnance bureau. In private life the Commodore was much esteemed for his genial disposition and many amiablc social qualities Personally, he was of low stature, but of somewhat con- manding presence nevertheless. He was placed on the retired list in 1855 and of course, his deccase does not promote any one.

FATAL ACCIDENT-As the express freight train over the Terre Haute road was coming east yesterday, an old gentleman named Thornburgh was struck by one of the beams of the locomotive, in the neighborhood of Bridgeport, and instantly killed. From Mir. Edwards, of Louisville who was passenger and who witnessed the accident, we learn the following facts: "The train was passing bridge, just west of the crossing, The engineer had sounded his whistle and the bell was ringing He looked out of the door of the car he was in and saw Thornburgh on foot in the road which crosses the track.
 When the locomotive was not more than fifteen or twenty feet from him he started to run across the track. Mir.

The timber or main beam of the locomotive had struck him in the side and thrown him some ten or twelve feet. There seems some inexplicable infatuation attending persons often who are struck or run over by trains of cars. In this case MT. ThornbuIgh was on foot and there was nothing to call him in hnrry to the other side ot the track" Ind. Seminal

THE SHOOTING of Miss Fanny May, and

THE SHOOTING of Miss Fanny May, and of himself, by Joseph Hernandez, at Boston, last Tuesday forenoon, was in consequence ot unreouitted love- Hernandez was a dealer in fancy goods, and Fanny was his book keeper; being married man with three chil- dren Fanny did not return his love, and so he meditated the death of both himself and her, leaving note with the request that they be buried together He was at work with her over the books when, without warning, he aimed the pistol at her temple, but the ball struck the bone and glanced of, inficting only flesh wound. He was himself seriously injured, and will probably die. Fanny was a handsome young lady of seventeen years.

NORTH CAROLINA CENsUs.-The North Carolina correspondent of The New York World has the following relative to the cen sus in that State:
 Our capital city, Raleigh, shows an in- crease of only about three hundred for ten years past. Other places are in the same pre- dicament. Towns supposing they had pop ulation of thousands, entitling them to rank as lesser cities at least, are suddenly and ruth lessly decapitated to the meager and insulting 2 dimensions of understanding real es- tate owners therein oppose census taking if that is the best can be done. However, the whole State may be set down at some 900, 900, and our products on the increase.
