1EDIAKAPoI1s. September 2, 1866.
The embargo laid upon Indianapolis by
the recent food has been removed, and VIC
are once more in communication With the
outside world. The general failure Of the
mails 10 either come or go anywhere quite
put a stop to the running Of the political
machine, and news Of any kind was scarce
and high. But the cquinoctial deluge Is now
happily over, and the sun shines clear and
bright again today. =.
Governor Morton left for Anderson last
evening, where he speaks to-day with tho
Hon. Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts. Mad
ison County, Of which Anderson ifs the
shire town, give 43t Democratic majority
On Congressman two years ago, but will not
do It this year. The two counties of Grant
and Madison form Senatorial District, and
the contest will be close. Grant gave 33l
Union majority In 1864, but the chances arc
decidedly In fa-or Of the election Of Colonel
Milt. Robinson, the Union nominee for SEN
ator.
sr1LIwKLL's DISTRICT.
Hon. Tom Stillwell, the present Congress-
man from the Eleventh District, lives at AN
dcrson, md bis failure to secure rcuomina-
tion has badly soured his stomach. He has
Ind the reputation Of being a johnson man
for year past, and this + what defeated
linn IN the nominating convention. He Is
understood TO be secretly working against
General Shanks, the Union candidate, but he
says very little about the matter. He was
fs.rTH a. 4S,nr T4t.- -,
ccptt0n nj the Bates House, and was much
shocked at the want Of respect cvincel by
our people for the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation. He turned up next at the Cleveland
Convention, and is now reported to have gone
hnsn't isttaShgEgh. Tom is Il clever fellow, but
ciplc through evil fGpDp. to stand By, a prin;;
report. He Inspires, ut the end Of III good
Ercssioual term. to succeed aIr. Hale as Mir
i;tcr to the Court of Spain, and lie will
doubtless conduct himself in Congress next
wintcr in a manner to SECURE this, or some
other, token Of The approval Of bis imperial
master.
The Eleventh District is not doubtful. how
ever. General Shanks will be elected by i
handsome majority. His competitor, Dr.. B.
Is. Snow, Is not0ri0usly unfit for the plaee,
and will not poll his own party vote In its
full strength. shanks' majority may bc set
down as ut least COO.
THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
The news from the First Congressional
District is very encouraging TO the Union
State Committee. Judge Debrnlcr is push.
ing Niblock to the wall everywhere. The
counties arc being canvasscd as they never
were ,f before, township by township. and:the
places Of the Pocket is astonishing. Our
friends say that they will elect DeBruler,
though 1t looks like an impossibilitr. Nib.
was 2, ITO.
The return of our soldiers will help lis
greatly, aud the Coppcrhcatl majority will
not exceed one thousand, In my opinion. If
We could have strictly honest vote, De-
Hrulcr would win. But our enemies, libcr-
ally supplied with money BY Federal nlIlcc-
holders and English holders Of rebel war
bonds, nrc importing Kentucky rebels into
Indiana to control the elections. There will
be vigorous effort made to prevent these
scoun1Kcls from voting, as the following cir
