DELAWARE ELECTION. N.-The returns
OF the inspectors of elections in this
State on Tuesday show that the ma
lorlty against the radicals is at least
I,5OO. Under the influence of the
Philadelphia Convention, u large
number of voters have abandoned

European papers are publishing
most fearful pictures of suffering in
India caused by the famine and cho-
lera. Emaciated men and women
living skeletons-are seen in every
road. Heads of families are struck
down by cholera, and the children flee
to the country onlyto be overtaken by
the famine and die by degrees. Be
meath the shade trees of every high
way are seen the dead and dying
lying side by side Old and young,
father and son, mother and daughter,
are taken by the destroying angel of
the pestilence, or cut down by the
slow and terrible agonies Of hunger.
Dogs and jackaIs hold high carnival
over the helpless living as we'll as the
skeleton dead. Mothers are found
dead with living children at their
cold breasts, and the rapacious vul-
lures lowering over waiting for their
prey. The misery thus begotten has
brought out all.the worse qualities of
the natives, and they often leave
helpless wives, mothers and children
to starve and die. Starving mothers
beg" for their starving children, and,
when successful, sit quietly by and
see the little ones devour the food.
At least 200 die day, and most Of
the bodies are left to rot by the road

DEATH OF THE OLDEST INHABITANT
OF SOUTH CAROLINA Sunday,
the 10th of September, Bob Wheeler,
Il negro, whe had reached the age of
10Y years, departed this life. During
the Revolution, Bob was Il boy be-
tween sixteen and eighteen years Of
age, and as his memory and mind re-
manned unimpaired, he delighted to
tell Of his recollections of the old
Revolution, when the red coats were
the terror of every neighborhood. He
was for some time Il waiting boy for
Gen. Wade Hampton, and considered
HIM the next greatest man to Gen.
Washington, and during his whole
life had Il great veneration and respect
for the Hampton family. When he
heard of the promotion and sue
cesses of our worthy and beloved
Gen. Wade Hampton, the old mans
eye would kindle, and he would stand
almost on tip toe, rejoicing at his
achievements saying that ''the true
old blood wol. / show itself" When
his old master (Wheeler) died, some
forty-five or fifty years ego, Bob was
then an eldeAy man, and was left by
his masters will to help to support
his three daughters. This duty he
discharged faithfully and honestly.
His death occurred about four miles
from Pomaria, in Lexington District.

ROCK OIL AS STEAM FUEL.

A series of important experiments upon
Mr.. Richardson's method of burning MI
neral oil as fuel for steam ships and steam
en- gines, was terminated yesterday at
WooYwich Dockyard with complete sue
cess. Ten pounds Of water is the high
est quantity that has ever been evapora-
ted per pound of the best steam Goals;
upwards of Is lb. of water has now been
evaporated continuously for many hours
by oil from the celebrated Torbane-hlll
or Boghead mineral. The trials with
other rock oils, though not reaching
quite so high a figure, have been such as
to prove the superiority of mineral oil
over coal, and the perfect capabilIty of
maintaining the strongest fire without
the slightest cessation or diminution OF
it's intensity until the complete exhaus-
ton of the stores of fuel. London Stan
