Indiana Elections.

The telegraph dispatch from Indianap-
oils, day or two since, stating that the
local elections in Indiana showed a large
Republican gain, was entirely false. The
Indianapolis Sentinel of the 4th inst
says:
"INDIANA ELEcTIoNs.-In the town
ship elections throughout the State, which
took place on Monday last, wherever the
contest was confined to strict party issues,
the reports indicate that the Democracy
have not only maintained their ground
generally, but in many eases by an in
creased vote. Ir many localities per-
sonal and local considerations influenced
the vote, but, wherever the election has
turned upon party tests, the result has
been most gratifying to the Democratic
party. the only national and constitutional
party. We are more than ever confident
that in the elections of next fall, Indiana
will maintain her proud position as thor
oughly Democratic and conservative
State"

Hon. Howell Cobb and the Presidency.
This gentleman has written letter to
the Hon. Isaiah T. Irwin, President of the
late Democratic State Convention, in
which he refuses the use of his name in
the Charleston Convention. We find the
letter in the Federal Union, from which
we make this extract:
"The March Convention has assembled
and its proceedings are now before me-
I have carefully analysed and considered

that 1 am we'll satisfied that have re.
ceived during this contest the warm and
earnest support of decided majority Of
the Democracy of the State-for which
I feel most deeply and sincerely grateful.
1t is clear to my mind, however, that the
opposition to me though not SO openly
avowed is equally decided. Under 'these
circumstances, 1 regard the longer con-
nection of my uame with the nomination
at Charleston, as calculated to produce
discord where there should be harmony,
and distraction where there should be
unity. With this conviction there il NO
room for hesitation as to my course. ]
must withdraw my name unconditionslly
from the canvass: and this letter is written
for the purpose of announcing to all who
may feel ar interest in the matter, but
particularly to the delegation from Geor.
gia, to the Charleston Convention, that ]
have done so.

gagged in this, ore George Matchett
threw . stone which struck Rinehard in
the forehead, and broke his skull. Rine-
hard fell, and Matchett threw another
stone striking him on the body. Rine-
ahard7was carried to the village and med.
'ical aid was called. The indenture in
the skull was placed in its natural posi-
ltion, and hopes are now entertained that
!: Rinehard will recover.
gsMatchett was arrested the day after
sthe ARRAY and lodged in Jail. He gave
bail, however, in the sum of $1,000 and

Guernsey Jefsrsonian. We are glad of
/. shis, and have no doubt THAT the Democ.
sracy of Guernsey are equally rejoiced.-
Whatever Of good might be said Of
Brother Peacock, it is very certain that
the Democracy of that county did not pre-
issrhim to control their paper. We be-
iievs that Baker is good editor, and
that he win meet the approval of the
gallant Democracy of Guernsey. He
has invariably managed the papers which
he, has conducted, in such manner as to
enaterially aid the party, and with proper
encouragement we believe he will redeem
Guernsey county.
The editor Of q comfy paper, considers
ed merely as partisan and citizen, may
be esteemed less than scores of others; but
NO man in county has more responsible
ty for the welfare Of the party than he has.

the Republican candidate for Governor
had majority of S, 392 over Potter, Dem
