OF course AZ this day i is impossible to
Determine what will be the political com
plesion Of the next Congress. Should il
provo to have in a majority favorable 10
the Administrations the Administrator will
have won great victory. "occasionay' Of
the Philadolphia Press toEets 10 political
fact as follows: a1'l't
contend that the late elections have
secured substantial and unparalleled VIC
tory 10 the Administration. The now
House Of Representatives win be decidedly
with the Government. For nearly twenty
years past every Congress chosen with and
favorable to tho new President has been
succeeded by second Congress decidedly
adverse to bis policy. II was so in the
second CoDgress under Harrison and Tyler,
under Polk, under Taylor and Fillmore, un-
der Pierce, and calamitously so under Blu
chanan. All these Chief Magistrates were
defeated upon immateral issues---their path
was comparatively plain and broad--thO
Government was moving along on beaten
track-the Uuion was unit.-and yet in
the North and in tho South, decided major
tiles were pronounced against them.
Who can calculate the burdens that the
friends OF Mr.. Lincoln and the war have had
to carry in the late cleciionsi The cloud
Of misrepresentation in regard to every
measure Of the present Congress, tho pre-
Ijudices growing out Of the emancipation,
taxation, cou6scaiiop, and revenue questions,
and the terror inspired 10 timid minds by
The necessity Of adding new battalions to
the army through the hard process Of n
draft-against all these obstacles, superad-
dcd TO a deprecated currency, a heavy debt,
the absence of hundreds and thousands Of
our political friends in the army, tho fact
that the Union men, in private as we'll as

essionists, armed and unarmed, and also
, that the sympathzeFs in the free States had

Archbishop Hughes Threatened with
Assassination.

The New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer writes:
am credibly informed that Archbishop
Hughes has been in receipt of sundry anony-
nous epistles from Baltimore, during the past
fortnight, threatening him with poison OF assas-
sination for his recent able address in favor Of
the war, at St. Patrick's Cathedral and for his
efficient defense of the Union and the Govern
ment from the commencement of the rebellion
till the present time. The threat has been ac-
comPanied by certain circumstances which lead
TO the belief that the Secessionists in earnest
and hence the venerable prelate has declared il
his duty TO make distinct sllusion thereto in his
newspaper organ, the Metropolitan Record o.
to-day. The Archbishop it seems has Discover
ed the authorship Of at least one Of the commun-
ications or warnings" referred to, which was
signed ~Mount St Mary's" The Record says
THE author has three weeks to withdraw it il

Suffering in minnesota.

The Indian massacres in Minnesota have pro-
duced great distress among the settlers all along
the frontier counties. Appeals for contributions
to aid them are being made in the principal
cities, and no object of charity can be more pres
sing and worthy. The Governor of Minnesota
states that at least thirty thousand miserable
men, heart broken women, and abject children
are wandering, homeless, naked and starving
Certainly our country affords no parallel of suf-
fering such as this. Clothing is greatly needed
by the suffering, for the rigors of winter are
close at hand

The Presidents Proclamation In North
Carolina.

The Manchester IN. H. American, of the
18th inst, contains the following;
"a gentleman by the name of James NJ. Smith,
native of the eastern part of this State, has
Just arrived in this city, direct from the interior
OF N Orth Carolina. He has resided in that sec
tion for the last seven years and had previously
lived eight years in other parts Of the South
He escaped to the Union lines at Newben.--
Mr.. Smith states that the Proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln has produced the greatest con-
sternation among the large shareholders of that
portion Of the State. Indeed, so great is their
terror that large body Of them have united in
petition 20 the Governor imploring him to
use his influence with the Confederate Govern
ment to secure the return OF the tFoOps belong
ing TO that State, in order that they may be pro-
tected from a slave insurrection, which they be-
lieve 10 be imminent The Governor has also
been requested to call a convention Of the peo-
pie, to take measures TO bring the State back
into the Union, that they might avail themselves
of the offers contained in the proclamation. He
says that as soon as it was known that the prcc-
lanatiOn bad been issued, measures were taken
by conscription from leaving the State. He is
OF the opinion that in very short time the
proclamation will he known 10 the slaves in
every nook and corner Of the State Mr. Smith
also declares that the more intelligent of the
on-slaveholders in that locality are greatly re-
jolced that the emancipation policy has been
adopted by the Federal Government They
believe that the abolition Of Slavery will be Of
Immense benefit to them, as it viii give dignity
and respectability TO labor"

The October Electioma.

Men cannot be campaigncd in Virginia and
Kentucky, and voting in Pennsylvania and
Ohio at the same time-at least our men cannot.
last year, the Pennsylvania voters who were
In camp OH the Potomac as Volunteers in the
Union armies voted for State officers. and the
result was over Eleven Thousand for the "Peo-
Piles Union" to less than Four Thousand for the
Democratic" ticket. There are now at least
Eighty Thousand legal voters from that State
absent as Volunteers in the Union armies, and
the recent preponderance of Volunteering from
the peoples Union" ranks over that from the
"Democratic" has been far greater than last
year. of course we suffer in the vote-that
was inevitable, Had those Volunteers voted
ON Tuesday, we should have had nearly unan-
imous "People's Union" delegation in the next
Congress; now we shall have but about half a
one.
In Ohio, the result is still more adverse for
there the Democratic leaders, headed by VAL
landigham, have all but universally kept their
followers from enlisting. In all their harangues
they have stigmatized the War for the Union
as "nigger war" an Abolition war" DC, &c
and have made prodigious outcry against the
prospective influx Of negroes into the State in
consequence Of the Southern convulsion. OI
the Sixty Thousand Voters from that State now
absent as Union Volunteers we doubt that Ten
Thousand would have voted for Vallandigham
and his eompeers. OF course we suffer in the

Terrible Loss of Life BY a TyPhOon in
China.

The Hong Kong Trade Report, Of Aag.

vastations Of a terrible typhoou which had
visited some parts Of China. Il occurred
on Sunday, July 9th /, and caused the death
Of many thousand persons.
The center passed over Canton and
Whampoa; Macoa did not have il quite so

stiff gale. The lossof life 10 the inner har-
Dor Of Macao alone was seven hundred
The loss of life in Whampoa is estimated at
six thousand. In the barbor Of Canton, a
great imperial feet, on the point Of being
dispatched to the North TO meet the rebels,
were all driven on shore. Tho total num-
Der Of lives lost in Canton is estimated by
some as high as forty thousand.
Houses went down before the gale ike
packs of cards, and killed people by the
hundreds. The mandarins arc offering 81
for every body found, and $4,000 has been
already expended in this way. The Rev.
Mr.. Galhard was killed by the wall Of his
house falling upon him. During the gale

The RIGHT DocTRINE.--Gen. Dan. E. Sckles,
in assuming his new command, issued spirited
general order, in which he said "Insidious at
tempts will be made TO engage our sympathies
in political discussions. In the army we have
nothing to do with the civil policy of the gov
lernment. We have sworn to obey the orders of
the President TO bear true allegiance to the Uni
ted States Of America, aud TO serve them faith
fully against all their enemies. Whoever seeks
to SOW discomfort among you by any means
whatever is as much your enemy the rebel
army you have so often and SO successfully en-
lcountered."

CoLFAx ELECTED.-A dispatch from South

299 majority. The returns are all official ex-
cept that from Pulaski county, which, however,
cannot possibly be varied by the official return
sufficiently to reverse this favorable result. Col
fax is undoubtedly elected aud his success, un-
der the circumstances, is really the most credit
able to him of all he he has ever achieved. He
has had to fight against the absense of 1000 ol
his friends and against the almost entire sup
lply ofthat deficiency by votes manufactured 10

The Governments Sopplfed with Gold.
Secretary Chase has avoided the necessity of
buying or borrowing gold for the payment of
the October interest on the public debt. By a
system of deposits which he has recently inau-
gurated, the Government receives gold on de-
post, to be withdrawn at the pleasure Of the
owner, and pays interest, where it remains lon
ger than thirty days, at the rate of four per
cent. per annum. Thus far the plan seems en-
tirely successful-the deposits having been suf-
ficient for all Government necessities for the use
of gold. 1t is believed that the Government
will thus be able to keep itself supplied with
sufficient gold for its needs till the redemption
of its old issue of Treasury Notes shall put it in
possession of specie funds from the receipt of
duties. DiSpatet 10 the Nclc York Times.
