THE STATE ELECTIONS which came off on
the 18th of October are Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Nebraska. The vote of Pennsyl-
vania, to which attaches so much Importance
has been since 1860 gradually declining so far
as the Radical majority is concerned. In 1860
the majority for Mr.. Lincoln was SO, 6lS. In
1864 the majority for MIR. Lincoln declined to
20O75. In 1866 the Radical majority declined
l7,l7S, and in 1867, the State was lost to the
Radicals by Democratic majority of 924 An
analysis Of the vote also shows gradual in
than that of the Republicans; from 1860 to
1866 the Republican vote increased SO, pa,
while the Democratic vote in the same years
increased 81, 1884, In 1867 the vote OF both
parties fell off very considerably from that OF
the preceding years.

FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT. when en-
quiry was made of General Stoneman whether
he could spare from his district the troops he
has sent to reinforce Thomas in Tennessee, he
Informed the Secretary OF War that so quiet is
everything in Virginia that he could spare,
not only the number asked for, but more if
they were needed. He thinks the people of
the State have generally determined that he
shall have as little TO do as possible.
Before the occurrence of the murders of Mrs.
Stewart and the colored man, John Baker, il

thought of taking away the company stationed

searching out and arresting the mufderers, they
will obtain it by application to the command

LETTER FROM CRAWFeRBsVILLE.
The Lecture SeasOn--PPOf. Campbell
and Gen. Wallace-The UmIOu Con-
ventiOn.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Jan. Is, 1858
Editors Journal: ssr.4
The material for letter from our
quiet little town is not so abundant
as might be desired. Each one
holds the even tenor of his way, Z"
occasionally disturbed by the per-
Torrance of minstrel show or a
concert. But the former is gradually
yielding place to the higher and more
intellectual pleasures of public lee
lures. j. L. Campbell, Professor of
Mathematics in Wabash College, in
compliance with an invitation
from the literary societies, delivered
a lecture last Monday evening on the
subject of " Bread The subject is
very common. and not a little invit-
ing to hungry man, but the lecture
was far from being ordinary. It
evinced a great deal of research. and
few, if any, we're present who did not
learn something new about the staff
of life OF other nations and our own
at different periods.
The Professor thinks we are all
working for bread. The minister
in the pulpit, the lawyer with his
briefs, the physician with his pills
the mechanic. in his shop-all, all are
working for bread
He spoke not only Of the food for
the body. but also of that for the
higher nature of man, and seasoned
it all with flow Of humor, which is
characteristic Of the man, and which
proves that mathematics does not dry
up the souls of men.
On Friday eve Major General Lew.
Wallace delivered g lecture to a large
and attentive audience. His subject
was Mexico. He said he had learned
to love the Mexicans. He did not
go into a travellers description of the
country, of which there is legend,
thatjn, the beginning God gave them
a lovely land, a delightful climate,
and everything desirable but a gov
eminent, and this He withheld lest
they might consider their land as
the promised Paradise, and wish no
better.
he spoke of the people-the masses
-as being sunk to the lowest state of
degradation, and being Indifferent to
everything but the superstitions of
their religion. There are, he says,
three. hundred and sixty FIVE Saints
days In the year, bat that the people
know nothing of the, saints or the
day except that they must not work
on those days. He says the only help
for thiss'i modern. Pronetheus'' must
come through the Christians. A
startling 'f&ct it is that In the whole
of Mexico there are hut two persons
and these women, W h0 are laboring to /
advances pure and undefiled religion. /
andthey are selling and giving away /
