The Kentucky Election.

Kentucky is thoroughly and overwhelm
ingly in the hands of the Confcderates
The election yesterday was one-sided
affair, the rebel Democracy carrying every
thing before it. This victory is useful a:
showing what the rebel Democracy would
do if they had the power. They have full
sway in Kentucky. Hence there is .
reign of terror. No man who adhered to
the Union cause is safe. There is no free
dom Of speech or Of the press Constitu-
tional rights, except as interpreted by the
rebels, are disregarded. The numbering
Of Union men is not regarded as crime
No jury can be found to convict men OF
crimes committed against this class. Thi.
is Kentucky Democracy. 1t is this party
that carried the election yesterday by from
forty five to sixty thousand majority; elect
ed four.fiths Of the Legislature, aud would
elect John e. Breckenridge to the United
States Senate, but for the test oath, which
guards the door Of Congress against trait
ors.
There are few bright spots in Ken
lucky where Union men can live in safe
ty, but generally there is no protection
for the lives and property of tie men who
fought in the national army, or upheld
the Union cause through the dark days
of the Republic. To this condition OF
things Union men in other States may
refer with telling effect, when asked 10
reinstate the Democratic party in power.
The party which triumphed on TIE
other side of the river, belongs to the
same organization which is led in Ohio
by Judge Thurman. In principle and in
spirit they one, and ii the reader would
know the kind of fruit that Democratic
victory in Ohio would produce, he has but
to refer to kentucky. There it is in all
its uslinSx as viewed by loyal men; and
is in all S sweetness as swallowed by
the ConfeNerates Restore this party to
power in the nation, and the "lost cause
would speedily be recovered. This is now
the political issue in every State. The
mode of presenting it is varied SO as to
adapt it to circumstances. In Kentucky
it is boldly urged. In Ohio it is fought
under cover; but the underlying princi-
pie is everywhere the same. During the
rebellion the rebels sometimes advanced
upon our armies wearing the blue uniform
aud carrying the Union lag These are
the tactics adopted by the Ohio Dcmocra-
cy. In Kentucky, however, there is no
disguise. There the Confederate uniform
is worn, and the rebel flag is defantly
carried But both branches Of the disloy-
al forces advance under the name OF De-
NJ ocracv. Gazette.

Valley Railroad Northward.

The Richmond Telegram thus comments:
We are reliably informed, that If We
press the completion of this road through
to Fort Wayne, the road now being made
from Cambridge City to Hagerstown will
be made to Muncie and from thence to
Wabash. IL our road is not built, in
stead Of taking their road to Wabash il
will be run to Fort Wayne, consequently
making the construction Of this road the
more difficult, and indeed almost useless
Certainly our citizens will see their great
interest in this question, and the necessi
ty for immediate action, and therefore
give il their earnest support.

Blackberry Wine.

There is an extraordinary large crop Of
bIackberries this season, and consequently
they are very cheap, and as there are more
than enough to supply the use of them in
every other shape, the surplus should be
made into wine. There is no wine equal
to blackberry wine when properly made,
either in flavor or for medical purposes,
and all persons who can conveniently do
SO, should manufacture enough for their
own use, as it is invaluable in sickpess as
tonic, and nothing is better remedy for
bowel diseases. We therefore give the
receipt for making it:
"Measure your berries and bruise them;
to every gallon adding pints Of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand twenty -four
hours, stirring occasionally; then strain off
the liquor into cask, to every gallon adj
ding two pounds Of sugar; cork tight, and
let it stand till the following October, and
you will have wine ready for use without
further straining or boiling. This makes
most excellent and palatable wiue."

The rebels of Tennessee who so loudly
professed their disiuterested friendship
for the negroes before the election, are
making plain their hypocrisy now by
turning off all their colored workmen who
failed 70 vote in accordance with their
