Toledo District" --Ashley and Waite.


Thtze is an animated contest going on in
tie Toledo district for member OF Congress
between Hon J. Il. Ashley and r. N. Waite,
esqr. They are both decided Republicans,
both heartily endorse the Presidents pro-
claulaiion, both advocate an energetic prose-
cution Of the war, and insist on IN unesnai-
tiona1 submission of the rebels to the au:hori-
ty Of the government In the matter of plat
form We c4n perceive but little choice between
them, though Gca. Ashley is the representa-
tire nan Of tie radical sentiment, and Waite
ct the conservative. Tae latter, however, III
order to have sood chance Of an election, il
obliged to prefess to occupy just as radical
ground rs his competitor. Eseh claims to be
the regular Republican Union candidatc-both
having been formally nominated by Union
conventions. The contest seems to turn on
personal grounds, and all sorts Of frivolous
charges are trumped up against Gen. Ashley.
But we do not believe that any Of the allega-
tions contain particle Of truth. Gen. Ash1ay
has served in Congress for two terms, and
achieved the reputation OF heing one Of the
most reliable, fearless, independent and honest
members in that body. He was also one Of
the most active and us-tu1, and was esteemed
a hard, untiring worker. He WAS as true to
tie cause Of freedom as the needle to the pole:
whoever might ball1, stumble or ELL, he could
always be counted on, as sure and steadf4st,
ard faithful among the faithless.
There must be some strong reason for SET
ting aside such man o:hsr than anything we
h.ve seen alleged against him. Fer no
Light cause should his valuable services and
ripe experience be dispsns:d with. His opp
Acnt, if elected, may turn out to be, If posi-
tie, IS true and efficient an advocate Of free
principles, of progress, justice ard truth; but
it Is never safe or judicious to throw away 4
certainty fer al uncertainty. Tue one has
proven his words By bis works; the other has
yet to pass the orjra1 Of acclimatioa in the
atmosphere Of Washington-xhich = great
mlpy men Of fair promises and high resolves
when On the stump, m!serably fail to do. Ash
Icy has gone through the test and come out all
right.
At this distance it looks to us as if he would
be dafaa*ed Tho Democrat. have made nc
nomination for the purpose Of yo:ing for
Waitc, though many Of them will not Go SO.
They lave found SO stern en- opponent IL
Gen. Ashley to pro-slavery sentiments and
secession sympathtzers that they hate him
that is the aE:i-war or tory wing Of the party.
The War Democrats are generally ia his favor,
but 60 many Of them arc absent in the army
that he will loose heartily ic consequence.
How many Republicans will votc against Ash.
ley il is impossible t. tell, but about Toledo
they seem to be quite numerous, where
Mr. Waite is very popular. The district gave
about 1900 Republican majority two years
ago.

New YoRK, September 5.-The following has
been received here:
HAVANA. Aug 4.-On the morning of the Doth
inst, | received a telegram from Cardenas, saying
that the night before a Confederate vessel of war
anchored in the entrance of the harbor English
built, of iron and mounting eight guns She
came from Nassau. and reports she has "a crew of
1 80 men-that her name is the Florida, and that
she is commanded by Captain Moflit
This vessel is none other than the Ovieto lately
released by the Admiralty court as an illegal
prize. | had news of her before and was expect
ing her arrival. A letter from Nassau told me
that she was coming; that she had seventy men.
and that she hoped to complete her crew in Cuba
also, that Captain oimmes, who was to have COM
mand of her. had sailed for Europe, and that
Captain Moifit, who had formerly commanded
the Crusader, to command her instead. The
first officer of the Florida formerly held the same
position on the Sumter.
The Florida is lined with iron and is calculated
to resist any ordinary shot
The news of her arrival was Immediately sent
from Cardenas, Matanzas and Havana to our
squadron at Key West and there are now three
Federal vessels OF waiting for her to make
her exit from Cardenas.
The Captain General was much annoy ed BY
her appearance at Cardenas and ordered her to
leave at once for sea, but Captain Motif urged
he was IN distress and continue to remain there
There were only 600 tons of coal in Carlenas
vet the Florida has been able TO get some, though
| am told she had to pay S22 80 per ton for it to
the gas company and the latter will rep ace il
from this city at 50.
The Florida claims to have destroyed several
American merchantmen on her way to Cardenas

river
jenkins is camped at Buffalo to night, 500
strong. A regiment of infantry, .20O strong,
and others, poorly armed, is said to be following
and expected to join him at Buffalo to night.
They are stripping the country of horses. Their
object is evidently to cut off communication with
TIE Kanawha Division. They parole all prison
ers taken. Paroled prisoners say that jenkins
reports his brigade TO number 1000.
The militia of Gallia county were out to-day,
numbering 1900. Company and regimental or
CARNATIONS were effected, and field officers elect

little fear of raid is felt in this place. We are
well prepared for them, and mean fight.

The BATTLES NEAR RICHMOND. KENTUCKY
The city has been full of soldiers for few DAYS
past who participated in the battles with the re-
bells under Kirby Smith, in Kentucky. Our loss
is much heavier than first reported in killed and
wounded. and the number OF prisoners also
large. The rebels have made fine haul i'm arms
for comparatively few Of those who escaped with
out capture brought their arms away, aud the enc
my would OF course eagerly scour the country to
gather them up.
The parOled prisoners all say they were well
treated by the rebels. The defeat was a bad one
but was far from disgraceful. The men showed
extraordinary pluck or they never could have been
rallied to make three separate fights against over
whelmins numbers. They concur in the expires
sion of the opinion that Gen Manson would have
got the army away If Gen Nelson had not ar
rived and insisted upon making third stand
They one and all denounce Gen. Nelson as an
overbearing, brutal tyrant. Gen. Manson stood
by his men and shared their fate.
