In Maine, which votes on the 18th of
September, is really the first election in
which there is much interest ccntorcd and
the result Of which will have much signifi-
cancc. At tho election last September the
Radical majority of nearly thirty thousand
was cut down to about ten thousand. They
will cndcayor to check the reaction and in
crease their majoritics to something like
the old figures. The Democrats arc work
ing with vigor and not without hope. The
result in Maine will be significant of tho
popularity of'tho Presidential candidates
in Now England, and will be looked to with
much anxiety.
Nebraska votes on tho 9Th of October,
and will be followed on the 18th by Pom.
sylyania, Ohio Indiana and Iowa. The
result in those States will practically decide
the Presidential contest. If the great
States of Pennsylvania and Ohio vote to-
gethcr, it decides the clcction-if they do.
vide, there will be much doubt as to tho re.
suit in November

u plenty ofprovisions, and fair crop
of Cotton. less Cotton is planted
than last year, and VIC expect yield
of about onc-fourth less, ofrathcr

The planters arc learning to work
themselves, rather than employ unpro-
iitablc labor, and arc quitting in dis
gust the "partncrship" plan. We
venture to predict that ono half the
planters in this District will hire for
wages next year, or not employ freed
men at ALL O,ungebury Nc,os.
The uprising of our people has had
vcry salutary effect upon the negroes.
Large numbers, forosocing the certain
