The Campaign I'm Ohio.

The Holmes County Farmer says. nev-
er in any campaign has the Democracy of
Ohio had such an array of talent on the
stump as at the present. Our gifted
speakers arc pouring hot shot into the en-
emy that goes crashing through their
ranks like bombshclls. In every Demo
cratic speech the radicals behold their
party pictured to life. Radical speakers
dare not deny that their party has destroy
ed the Union, borne down the nation
with debt, increased the expenses of gov
ernment ten fold, inflicted upon the peo-
an army Of unnecessary officers, and that
their design is to supplant republican gov
ernment with Mexican oullawry and re-
duce the white people 20 mixed, indo-
lent, scmi-barbarous, discontented. law-de-
flying and rebellious race like that which
inhabits Mexico. Take the past of the
radical party and what it promises for the
future, and it is the greatest wonder in
the world how any honest man can be so
blinded by party prejudice as to vote that
ticket. The indications arc that thous-
ands who have voted it heretofore will do
SO no longer. The prospects for the De-
mocracy to carry the State are decidedly
better than they were in 1862, when we
elected the entire State ticket.

The whole subject of western freight
and travel is so prominently before the
public that every fact added to our in
formation is valuable. In the discus
sions that have taken place in our legis-
lature, the existence OF any routes to the
West other than the Worcester and
Western roads was hardly acknowledged
A flew figures will show that the
route via the Fitchburg, Cheshire, Rut-
land and Burlington roads, is an i'm
portant medium OF communication be-
tween the West and the seaboard, and
many OF our heavy merchants are quietly
finding out that by shipping goods by
this route, (diverging from the New
York Central at Schenectady the
chronic "block " and delay at Albany
may be saved. The time by these roads
is the same as by the Western and Wor-
cester,-at least the difference is imms-
terra, the facilities are ample, and
proximity to deep water at this end Of
great value and convenience, The state
ment pressed last winter before the
legislature, that New York Central cars
passed only over the Western and Wor-
cester roads, Is incorrect, as may be seen
daily by any one who will take the pains
to leok at the freight trains that come
by the northern route.
A few figures as to rolling stock may
be interesting, and we think will sur.
prise our readers by their magnitude.

carried over 10000 tons of Western
freight, while of Northern and Northwest

was proportionately great. AS the YER

Remarkable Discoveries - Researches
Among the Bones of Dead Centuries.


From the NdSIsUiLle (Tep1s.) Press and Times.
1t may not be generally known that the
ground on which the city OF Nashville now
stands was once the site of an ancient and popu-
lous town, yet such is supposed to be the TACT.
Some of the most interesting antiquities of our
State are found along the lower course of Stone
river but few miles from Nashville. A wide
area of country there is covered thickly with
thousands of graves of now forgotten people.
But few days ago several gentlemen made
some researches in this region, and found their
coveries. Al place known Schelrs Spring
they found mound of considerable height and
perhaps forty feet in diameter, which proved
upon eXamina alton to be nothing less than vast
mausoleum OF the dead. The graves were found
| to be made of fiat rocks, symm metrically joined
| together, and three tiers deep from the base OF
| the mound to its apes. Bones were found in a
remarkable state Of preservation, together with
| pottery and shells. Very large ornaments have
| been dug out in this locality, made from shells
| found only in the Gulf of Mexico.
| A gentleman of acSn owledged skill and autho-
| rity in antiquarian matters, who conducted the
researches made few days ago, estimated that
| the remains which they unearthed could not
| have less age than six or seven hundred years.
| What is remarkab e, no warlike implements are
| found in this locality, from which it is inferred
| that they were peaceable race, and were pro-
| badly exterminated or driven away by the In
| dians. In one of the graves was found beauti'
| tul little vase, which had been placed in the
| hand of the inmate of the tomb at the time oi
the burial. Upon this little bit of earthenware
| was the model of dIminutive animal. The
| care which these people took of their dead
| shows a high degree of humanity. We learn
| that other Investigations in this section are t(
| be made ere long, The field is certainly rict
| one for the ANTIQUARIAN.

HEARINGS AT THE CENTRAL STATIoN.-Before
Re corder Eneu, at 2 o'clock to-day, Thomas
Jones was arraigned upon the charge Of at
tempting to enter the room Of Charles McShane
That gentleman testified that he was rooming
in No 81, at the American Hotel; the defendant
occupied No. 92; about o'clock this morning
he was awakened by hearing noise at his door;
he jumped up, went to the door, and pulled a
piece of wire out of the key-hole; he then sprang
out into the entry, and found the door of the
defendants room open slightly. McShane ac-
cused the defendant of attempting to enter his
room: he denied it. An officer was called in,
and he was arrested Detective Levy examined
Jones' carpetbag, and found a piece of wire
similar to the piece found In the door by Mr.
McShane. The defendant was held in S2500 bail
to answer,
William Barringer was charged with the lar
eeny of two coats, valued at S25, belonging to
Bernard McManus, residing at No. 1888 Market
street. McManus' daughter was looking out
OF the third story window, and saw man take
the coats hand them to the defendant, and
then both walked of. Barringer was held for
trial.

THE RICHMOND ELECTIONS.

Vote ON the Subscription of Ss,OOO,OOO
to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Difficulty with the Registrars-Gene-
raj SChOfeld Interferes and the EIec-
tiOn Progresses.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The following intelli
gence was received from Richmond Va, to-day:
The question as to whether the vote on the
subscription of So, 100000 by the city of Rich
mond to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
should be conducted under the laws of the State
of Virginia, or under the Reconstruction act of
Congress, caused some delay in opening the
polls this morning. In reply to a telegram
from Colonel Fontaine, President of the Virginia
Central Railroad, General Scho6eld, who is at
Fortress Monroe, telegraphed that all persons
whose names were registered would be entitled
TO vote.
On receiving this despatch the conductor of
the election refused to proceed until the registry
lists were furnished. The registers refused to
provide them with copies of the lists unless
ordered so to do by the commanding general.
This caused suspension of the election until
the General could be again consulted. Another
despatch was sent to the Fortress, and the reply
was promptly received, ordering the lists at
once. 1t has been obeyed, and the election is
now progressing, with every prospect that the
subscription will be carried, as the negroes will
generally vote for it. A large body OF troops is
posted In the city to prevent disorder. This is
the ,i hrst time in which the negroes have voted
In Virginia.
