ARRIVAL OF LADY FRANKLIN tue
messengers that arrived at New York by the
steamship Adriatic was lady franklin ac-
COMMANDED by her niece. Miss Cracroft' ana
her waitng-naid. Lady. Franklin Will re-
main in that city two or three weeks as the
puest of Mr. Henry Grinuell, through whose
liberality the Grinnell Arctic Expedition
was fitted out, and whose son, Mr.. q. Grin
nell, accompanied her on her voyage to this
country. She proposes to make tour into
CANADA, probably in time to witness the re-
ception of the Prince of Wales. and will then
travel through the Northern States, and very
likely extend her journey into California.
She desires 10 avoid public attention as far
as possible. She has had a pleasant voyage
and is much pleased with the Adriatic and
her officers.

GB- Hon. ANDREW EWING said in his
Broad street speech the bther night, that
"Old Dad"-alluding to MIR: BELL-could not
be deceived as to the disunion purposes of
the ultra Southern Breekinridge leaders.
That is altogether true, and after the array
of facts we have given to the country on the
subject, there are very few others who will be
deceived about them. And what is more, the
people, in their justice and power and patri
otism, will rally to the standard borne by
"Old Dad" and place him in position
where lie can hang every one Of them who
dares to raise his hand against the Union of
the States or the supremacy of the eonstitu-
ton and laws.

What a Terrible Blow TO the Yam
eeyites ,--DIsaPpOIntnIent Even UE-
To Death.

What a Terrible Blow TO the Yam
eeyItes! Even uE-
TO Death.
Our Democratic readers can judge from
the following extract from the leading Sill
DELL organ of LOuisiana-the New Orleans
Courier of the 8th-what terrible blew the
Kentucky election has given the Secession
lists and DisuniOnists at the South. When
the real state of the case shall be known,
when the Boilers of the South shall learn
how pointedIy the people of Kentucky have
rebuked 'its favOriie son." they will be the
sickest set of politicians this side of the great
birthstone lake. We can say TO the Courier
that "Kentucky IS safe''-saie by tens Of thur
sands against its secession candidates. When
he hears from the country districts" his
woe will only be increased, not assuaged.
And so it will be everywhere BRECKENRIDGE
and LANE may as well be Withdrawn at once.
Hear what the great Louisiana organ of the
Secessionists and DisuniOnists has to say OF
the Kentucky election:
with regard to the alleged majority OF
Leslie Combs in Kentucky, by five to ten
thousand, reported in yesterdays evening
papers. it is but fair to presume that it Is on
iy piece of gascOnade In perfect keeping
with the general tenor of political dispatches.
Admitting that Louisville should have given
three thousand majority against McClarty, a
matter which we feel greatly disposed to
doubt in the absence of satisfactory proof,
vet the reduction of this majority to three hun
dred in Jefferson County, the county in which
Louisville is located, shows Enthusiastically
the current of the rural Democracy If our
readers will bear in mind that Fillmore
majority in 1856 amounted in that county 10
2,0IO, they will perceive at once the enor-
nous gain which our friends have succeeded
in obtaining. 1t is in itself great triumph,
and demonstrates that whatever loss Se may
suffer in the large cities will be more than
compensated in the country districts Let
not our friends become discouraged at this
apparently untoward news, but patiently
wait for the wagon They may depend on
it that Kentucky is safe."-Cm. Eng.

The Douglas Democracy in Kentucky held
a State Convention Saturday, at Louisville

kentucky officials and the People.

The Louisville Democrat thus refers to the
difference between the boiling BRECKINRIDGE
officials in that State and the people. We
think the people have the advantage deei-
dedly:
"Dr. Peyton, elected on the Cincinnati
Platform to the Congress of the United
States, has gone for Breckenridge, and his
county and district have left him by large
majorities.
''Simms is still worse off,
Burnett, with district of five or six thou
sand Democratic majority, is lost.
~. w. Stevenson has fallen, and his dis
trict has left him.
~. Y. Brown has wisely gone with his dis
trict. He sustains them, and they sustain
him.
Senator Powell has lost his county, and
his district, and the State he represents, by
an overwhelming majority. Not State
officer, who has gone for Breckenridge, is
there, who is not repudiated by the people.
The officials of this State are in the worst
possible fix. Their constituents are all gone,
and they are left with faded laurels on their
brows."

!" Hon. ANDREW

70 Hon. ANDREW EWING delivered a
speech on Broad street night before last, in
which he pretty clearly intimated that he
would not be for dissolution of the Union
i'll the event of Lincoln's election. This
was our inference from his remarks. He did
not, however, undertake to say as much for
the Breckenridge party. He cannot so pledge
his party, and he is aware of it; yet in divid-
ing and distracting the opposition to Lincoln,
Mr. EWING is using his great power to bring
about Indirectly that which he SO much de-
sircs to avoid-to wit: the election of the Re-
publican candidate.

North Carolina.

Tuesday we republished the following
from the Raleigh correspondent of the Rich
mond Enquirer, written on the Stb inst:
&.sI beg leave to inform you that this morn
ing in the Comptroller's office, the official vote
was cast up from all the counties except three
small ones. which will give slight Opposition
gains, with the following results:-Say Ellis
majority $500 Subject 10 reduction on ac-
count of three counties to hear from, OF 4OO,)
leaving absolute majority $500"
Here we have it stated that on the Stt, the
official vote of all the counties except three
was counted in the Comptroller's office. We
have before US the Raleigh Register of the llth,
three days later, which says
.There are still nine counties to be heard
from. Thus far the whole vote polled in the
Governors election is IO3,72S, by far the
largest vote ever polled in the State. ELLIS
beats Pool about $500"
The remaining five counties may reduce
this majority; but whether they do or not, the
constitutional union men have done nObly.
They have gained 1000 on the vote of BRAGG
and GIINEE in 1856, and IL 900 on the vote
of MCRAE and ELLIS in 1858. This" adds
the Register, sis the state of affairs in North
Carolina, after most arduOus and exciting
Canvass, and Is an earnest that BELL and
EVERETT Will carry the State in November.
While the Union men deeply regret that they
did not elect Pool, we are yet to see one who
Is discouraged, aud who is not determined to
go into the next campaign for The Presidency
with all his zeal ard energy. The BKECKN-
RIDGE-YANCEY ticket will be beaten to death
in North Carolina North Carolina will not
| be tied to the tail OF South Carolina and dis
union. Mark the prediction"
The Union party has made clear gain in
| the Legislature of sixteen members of the
Legislature-fifteen in the House and one in
the Senate.

A TEMPEST IN A TEA-Pot-The secession
journals are endeavoring to excite sectional
prejudice against Mr.. Bell because he be-
lieved in the right of petition, and favored the
courteous reception of every petition which
came from the people, even though some of
them might ask for interference with the
peculiar institution of the South, which Con-
gress had not the power to grant. Receiv-
ing the petitions, however, was a very differ
ent thing from advocating or fayoring them.
The fre-eating journals seem to forget that
Mr.. Buchanan, whose election they all adyo-
Gated four years ago, was always in faver of
receiving such petitions. He presented a
great many of them himself. For instance.
on the 18th of August, 1888, be presented q
petition in favor of entering into diplomatic
intercourse with Hayti, which if granted,
would have compelled this Government to
have received at Washington aiqqer Am
bassador. Richmond Wing.

Col L.NDoS C. HAYNES afTscts /,

S- Col. LAHDOS C. HAYNES affects to
think that Mr.. BELL has no chance of cleo
ton. But he did not undertake to reconcile
the late overwhelming defeat of the BREcKIN-
RIDGE party in Kentucky, with any chance
that Dir. BREcKNRIDGE may have been sup
posed by his most sanguine friends at any
time to have had. He and his eoadjutors will
find out before the expiration of the present
year that Mr.. BELL is the only formidable OPP
ponent that LINCOLN has in this race. Ifit is
Inc desire OF the Southern people to defeat
tne Republicans, the only hope TO do il is to
rally to the standard of BELL and EyERErr.

A State Convention of the friends of BELL
and EVERETT was held on the 9TH inst. at
Portland, Me. There were present some four
to five hundred delegates. The following
persons were appointed officers:

g Col HAYNES reviewed the slavery
agitation, in his speech night before last, but
left out of it all reference to the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill. He was eloquent on the respon-
thought the course of his party had been un-
exceptionable. The Republicans cannot date
their organization further back than 1856.
Can Col. HAYNES be induced to tell us who is
responsible for the agitation prior to that
time:

dote the other night on Broad street, in the
application of which, he characterized Mr..
BELL as ''Old Dad" Well, he is likely to

minister to it most terrific ihrashing.
This will take place about the first Tuesday
in November. We shall then see how the
iIlegitimate offspring of Mr.. Yancey will like
s'Old Dad.'

9-Col HAYNES, in his Broad street
speech night before last, did not tell the peo
pie whether he would be for disunion in the
event of Lincoln's election. But he argued
that the issue in this contest was the
right of property and the safety from insur-
slaveholding States. He drew terrible pic
ture of civil war and desolation, of the reor-
ganization of the Supreme Court, and reduc-
ton of the Southern States TO vassalage, con-
sefuent on Republican success-thus leaving
the inference that he wonld be for disunion
in that event, Col. HAYNES must come out
farely and squarely on this point. He cannot
be permitted to occupy an equivocal position
on this subject.

- DABsTER suggests that the firing of
the cannon at the Breckenridge rally the
other night was in honor of the victory of the
Breckenridge candidate over the Douglas one
in Kentucky = MCCLARTY over BOILING.
They doubtless were actuated, under the Sc

Mr.. Ten Brock two yearlings-one a bay
flly Annette, by imp. Scythian. out of Lex

she out of Picayune. The price paid was
$1,000 each. The filly Annette, we under

the racing career is over. Mr.. Ten Broeck's
man came over especially to take the stock.
w. A. Dudley, Esq, has also sold TO Mr.
Ten Brock his yearling colt "Knight of the

himself a name that will adorn the sporting

Democratic Union In PENNSYLVANIA,

Correspondence of the N. Y. Bxpress.]
The meaning of the Cresson (Dem.) Con-
vention, uniting on one electoral ticket, is
this
The 'Douglasites, certain of having two
thirds or three-fourths of the vote, agree to
keep the State electoral ticket, as it was
framed some time ago, before the nominal
tons, and to vote for it, under the express in
structions that, if the instructions be "Doug-
las" as they are certain they will be, the
whole ticket shall be cast for Douglas This
satisfies the Douglasites, generally, as they
are certain of the majority-and the Brock
inridgers, in order TO have but one ticket,
were glad thus to give in.
If Forney d Co. make much more noise
about the union, it will but show them to be

FROM HUMPHREYS CoUNTY.-A friend |
writes us as follows of the crops, &c. in Hum
phreys county:

WAvERLY, Aug. IA, 1860.
''No rain here yet, and the woods are on
fire between this place and Richland creek.
The outside bark on the trees is so very dry
that it burns freely, and numbers of forest
trees are thereby killed. 1 have conversed
with number of practical farmers in this
county, and it seems to be the opinion of all
that if all the corn raised in the county is
carefully husbanded, it will scarcely suffice
for bread alone; and if we do not get some
rain in few days, 1 think the chances for
bread, even, is very slim. D. R. o."
