Ohio Election,

CINCINNATI, Oct 8.
A heavy storm in this vicinity interferes
materially with the working Of the tele-
graph. AS far as known the election passed
off quietly. Scattering returns show Union
gains in every county heard from. The re-
suit thus far indicates the election Of
Schenck, Union, Third district.
Plants, Union, Fifteenth district.
Hays, Union, Second district.
Buckland, Union, Ninth district.
The contest in the First District was very
spirited, but resulted in the election of Egg
gleston, Union, over Pendleton, Democrat,
by about 500 majority, two year ago, was
over 2,400.
Hamilton (Union) is elected to Congress
from the Eigth district by about 1000 ma
jority.
CINCINNATI, Oct. eli p. M.-Later re-
turns indicate the reelection Of all the Union
Congressman, and Union majority of 40.-
600 on the State ticket.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 9.-Elec.ion returns,
as far as heard from, indicate that fifteen
Union Congressman are elected certain, and
two more probably. The gain on the Union
State ticket is about 5 900.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9.-The election pass
ed off quietly. The returns are very meagre.
Hamilton gives Republican majority OF
2,400, a Republican gain of 100.
In one precinct in Shelby county there is a
Union gain of 1855.
In Richmond City there is a Republican
majority of 900; Republican loss of 200.
Cambridge City gives Democratic ma
Jority of ga, being Democratic gain of 100
One precinct in Triton shows a Union

Reports from the Ninth Congressional
District show small gains for Colfax.
In FloyG county, Second Congressional
District, there is a Union gain of 800. The
corresponding gains in the District will elect
Gresham. The Union returns thus far show
about equal gains and losses for the Union
ticket.

1854, and the Union majority 1000 less.

The Dreadful Famine In India.

The latest news from India shows that the
famine in the district of Orissa has made
fearful ravages. In Cuttack alone more than
5000 deaths are attributed to the famine
in the week ending the lat of July. At
Balasore an average of l0,S16 persons were
relieved daily in the fortnight ending the
23d OF June, and of these it was only posi-
BILE to exact work from 2231. The deaths
attributed to the famine in this district were
76S in the week alluded to. In Tirhoot the
destitution is very serious, but all possible
means are being used to alleviate it. From
Chota Nagpore the accounts are very dis
tressing. In six weeks $1,000 deaths occur.
red, according to the official estimates, and
upwards of 10000 persons are at the pre-
sent time fed by private charity. The ia
mine, which has been going on for nearly
year, and with additiona! intensity since
April, arises from the failure in successive
seasons of the rice crop, rice being almost
the sole food of the natives. The capital of
Cuttack is only two hundred and twenty
miles from Calcutta, aud the Government
is bitterly up6raided for neglecting to pro-
vide measures of relief, and even for inter.
posing difficulties in the way of those who
were willing to aid the poor starving crea-
lures.

FROM CAIRO.
Attempted Murder Of tlsc Southern
R4OYnaisd HkelenasiOu

ST. LOUIS, Oct. S.-Colonel Bingham, one
of the Southern loyaiists, who was not al
lowed to speak in Cairo on Friday night,
publishes card, in which he states that the
rioters at the meeting were armed with re-
volyers and Bowie knives, and came there
with the avowed purpose of inaugurating
another New Orleans tragedy. The delega-
tion which was supposed to include Brown
low and Hamilton, came near meeting with
with a frightful accident on their way to
Cairo. The train upon which they were
supposed 70 be was thrown off the track, on
q high emhankment, eighty miles above
Cairo, at two O'Clock on Wednesday morn
ing, by the removal of two rails, which
threw the engine off the track, killed the
engineer, and badly wounded the fireman
and four other persons. The indications all
point to this act as deliberate attempt to
Kill Brown!ow and Hamilton. The whole
delegations have arrived here safely and
will have public reception in Lucas Place
tonight.
A violent attempt was made to break up
meeting on Saturday night, called in the
interest of the radicals.

y-The result in this county is en-.
couragiug We have not, it is true, sue
ceeded in electing our ticket, but we have
come so near it, that our opponents were
surprised, as we'll as delighted, after the
smoke of the conflict had disappeared, to
find that the avalanche which had passed
over them, had not entirely engulphed them.
There are still some districts, in this county,
where they delight in the fact that "the
school master is abroad" and there the So
called democracy reigns supreme. But even
there the rays of light begin to penetrate,
and in few years more Northumberland
county will be redeemed.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Fiske, for Assem-
bly,, has been defeated by very small ma,
jority. The majorities against Rothermel
for Sheriff, and Bruner for Prothonotary
ore also very small. Miller for Congress
runs with the Governor.

attendant and was always unceasing in her
efforts to make his last days pleasant as pos
sible. They arrived in Cleaveland six weeks
ago, and he was constantly under medical
treatment, being confined indoors, with the
exception of the time consumed in a daily
horseback ride. Until an hour before his
death, Mr.. Rarey retained, to a great extent,
his usual brilliant colloquinl powers, and
often amused and edited those by whom he
was constantly surrounded with stories of
his adventures in this and foreign lands
Yet he believed the hour of death was near
at hand, and frequently alluded TO the fact
that he had all the heart could wish for but
health. At two o'clock on Thursday he
walked out on the street, but returned soon
after and complained Of pain in his head.

THE ELECTION.

The result of the election on Tuesday last,
has resulted in q glorious victory over the
democrats, galvanized, if not regenerated by
Andrew Johnson. Although the majority
of Gen. Geary is not as large as some of his
more sanguine friends expected, yet, under
the circumstances, it is glorious victory.
Glorious because of its great Importance and
being achieved in opposition to the COM
bined power of the party and the admins
tration, with all the patronage of the latter.
The loss in Philadelphia was in some de-
gree, expected, as the power and patronage
Of the government was freely used in colo
aizing voters.
Gen Geary's majority will not be less than
about 10000. We have also gained two
Congressman, which is quite as important
as the election of Governor.

From Mexico.

New YORK, Oct. 8.-Advices from San
Antonio, via Galveston, Texas, say that quite
number OF Santa Anna's agents are at work
recruiting for raid on Matamoros. But
little sympathy was shown them there, it
being fully understood that Santa Anna had
pledged to Napoleon to acknowledge the
French debt if he succeeds in gaining a foot
ing on the Mexican soil.
Very few have signifed their intention of
joining his standard, as he is known to be
inimcal to the Liberal cause, and his ante
cedents with the Texans having always been
a questionable character from his former
treason.
Quite large quantities of arms, ammun-
tior, and supplies have lately reached the
Mexican frontier designed for Juarez' arms
at Montery and other places.
Tho forces under General Escobedo are
now In excellent condition, and will soon
be iuliy equipped for the coming winter
campaign.
The latest advices from Chihuhua of Sept

preparing for az early departure for Monte.

Spotten, of this place, on Monday morning
last presented him with three children a:
one birth-a brace of girls and boy, thus
