bers of Congress, Holmes county is attached to
Wayne, Ashland, Medina and Lorain counties

and Rhode Island.


The Republicans of Connecticut elected.their
State ticket by an increased majority, and
have handsome majority in the Legislature.
Where is that boasted reaction? Two Demo-
cratic members of Congress were eleeted-from
the second and fourth districts. The former is
an old Democratic district. and the Republicans
were successful two years ago only through the
division of the Democracy.
In Rhode Island the Union" and Gov.
Sprague's money were successful.as they were a
year ago. Gov. Sprague worked for Mr.. Lin
coins election. and is now a supporter Of his
Administration. Yet Democrats join with con-
servatives in elevating him to Office, and ,heu
turn about and crow over his success as a Dem
ocratic victory

~During debate in the Ohio Leeislatu

~ During debate in the Ohio Legislature
q few days since, Mr.. Moore, Locofoco Sem
ator, remarked that he W ould rather see all The
Southern forts surrendered TO the traitors than
have force employed to hold them or have
them reinforced.
This is the sentiment of nearly all the lead
ing Locofocos in the North. They would rath-
er see the country go to sticks than have the
Union preserved by Mr.. LINCOLN. They are
constantly inquiring why don't you reinforce
Fort Sumpter?" when they know that that
sroh traitor, BUCHANAN, left it in snch a fix that
it would be next to impossible to reinforce it,
except at the cost of thousands of lives But
suppose they should reinforce it. the howl of
Disappointment and rage sent up by these same
Locofocos would be louder than that set up by
the Charlestonians. They are secessionists at
heart, as much as JEFF. DAVIS, and if war should
break out, any of them that did enlist at all,
would do SO under the secession flag.

Still Further.

The above is from our extra, Of Saturday
afternoon. Another account says:
The Flying Artillery and Cavalry, from
Washingto ton, came by the Chain Brldge-the
other troops were landed from steamers
Their landing was well done. A spectator de-
cIares that the work was done In silence and
with remarkable speed He thinks the whole
number were landed in five minutes.
Oar sentiueis and pickets at the Long
Bridge fired the steamers as they passed
All the rifiemen down the side OF the river
did the same. We do not know whether they
succeeded in killing any OF the individuals ON
board.
The Yankee pickets were Immediately posted
all around the city, 10 the distance OF three
miles.
The telegraph office was the first place
seized Mr.. Hates, the principal operator and
manager, had just time enough 10 gather up
his in Instruments and run around one corner AS
the villains rushed in at the door. The last
heard from the Ctfice, the Lincoln agents were
busily examiza.s ASe dispatches. They did
not make lar. sssl, as only two days dis
patches were ~ In the office, all the others,
dating for weeA and months back, had been
previously sent away 70 Richmond.
The telegraph Office, we are happy to say,
was rendered completely useless for work -
Nothing was left but the key, when could
not be wrenched from the table.
Mr.. Durnin, the Junior operator, got the
implements All safe in Il buggy, and passed
the pickets at 2 o'clock. They are safe at
Manassas Junction.
The Manassas Gap operators Immediately
detached the wires to Alexandria, rendering
it impossible for the enemy to learn any thing
from the interior.
We copy, elsew here, the Northern accounts
| of the affair, from papers received last even

What They are Fighting for.

Mr.. Hunter made speech in Congress abe at
a year ago in which he estimated the aims al
exports of slave States at two hundred IN IL
lions of dollars freightS paid to Northe IN
vessels on these exports, fourteen nal
lions; freights paid to Northern Fess BIS
on return eargoes, seven millions; freigittS
paid same in the coasting trade, twsh-
ty millions; manufactures by the North
consumed by the South annually, FOUR HIN
DRIED AND EIGHTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! He
then shows that
cat modera to estimate, between three ,rp d
four millions of the people of the Northeas l.
ern States owe their subsistence ntirely to
the commerce of the South, but for while h
they would be compelled to starye or emigrat =,
He shows also that several millions of the il /.
babitants OF the Nor thwestern States are ALSO
suppor ted by the market tor their produc is
afforded by the South, and that the mont y
paid by the Northeastern States for the pr o.
ducts of the North Yves tern States is obta5pt d
mainly from the South: and he thus chow g
that large portion of the population OF Il 70
Northeas tern and Northwestern States is SUI S.
tanned by slave labor. Mr.. Hunter then 1,f o
ceeds to show that the operation OF protectr ye
tariffs and even tariffs for revenue have
thrown the burden Of the Government an
equally upon the agricultural States of { ne
south who, being the chief consumers of tine
protected ar ticies, have paid the increaa ed
price into the pockets OF the Northern pho
ducers."
1t is to compel us to continue this tribu te
20 the end of time that the North pOurs down

The blood of the first Martyr has flowed. A

country, has been cut down by the murdeross

hloated miscreant, who claimed the glory of

the South, at every step of the long and weary
road they have begun to travel.

His family and his country have been despoik

for generations, and his example will be fob
lowed by every man and boy in 'irginii

The Killing of Ellsworth by JAG ks0n- Hero
ism Of Virginia Women.

A gentleman who arrived in Richmond last
evening, reposhS as follows:
Ellsworth assembled to the roof of the Marshall
House, and secured the flag. Coming down
with tho flag wrapped around him, he met Mr..
Jackson. when Ellsworth remarked, " Here,
have got prize Jackson replied Yes,
and here is another prize'-at the same time
,e7elling his double barrel shotgun, and
shooting Ellsworth dead on the spot.
Jackson was speedily murdered by the Zou-
ayes. The shot that killed him pierced his
brain.
Mrs. jackson and her sister, rs we are in
formed, took possession of the flag, drew re-
volvers, and dcfed the Zouaves, who endeav-
ored to take it from them. The ladies tore the
flag into shreds, determined that it should not
pass into the hands of Lincoln's ruffians.
Connected with this affair, we may publish
the following copy of a card, which Mr.. Jack
son had circulated to advertise his business

Collision Of Railroad Cars--Nen Killed and
Woanded-The train of cars which LETT the
Central Depot on Saturday evening win
troops, met with q serious accident, by which
several soldiers Of the South Carolina Regi-
mcnt (Col. Kershaw's) were killed and many
wounded. Information received from orange
C. H., from Conductor Taylor, statos that
three trains, loaded with troops, were stand
ing on the track. waiting for the Mail train to
arrive from the main Junction. While thus
waiting, the expected train approached al
such great speed that the engineer could not
stop in time-having lost the whistle and be-
ing without means of SIGNALLING his approach
the train ran into the forward troop train,
damaging both engines, breaking several ears,
killing three of the South Carolina volunteers
and dangerously injuring several others.
1t is rumored that the soldiers were very
much exasperated against the engineer and
conductor of the Mail train, and threatened
| to shoot them. The unfortunate affair Is due
| to carelessness somewhere. The instructions
| of Superintendent Dodamead to the conductors
| and others along the whole route, if strictly
| followed by them, would render impossible any
| such depIorable occurr renee as the above.
A dispatch received yesterday from Cor
| louisville says that several OF those injured by
| the collision yesterday, are reported as since
dead, and adds "The Richmond train, with
| troops, seems to have been in fault in leaving
| the station before the Manassa train arrived
The names of the Virginians killed are Gentry
and McMullen, of Greene county. One of ths
Carolinians has had his legs anputated below

The Northern editors are eternally harEtng
upon the value of balloons in military poinc of
view, the process of imitation being one wh ich
long habit has rendered familiar. They pro-
pose balloons to go up and inspect our camps,
and drop missiles upon our soldiers. They are as
likely to hit the mark in that way as any
