Result of the Election in the
State and Elsewhere.

The result of the election in
this State is not known at the
time our paper is printed
The dispatches we have seen
are from Radical strongholds.
If the Radicals have carried
Ohio once more, they can have
the pleasure Of growing over a
small majority. On Wednes-
day we went to the telegraph
Office at Hamden to hear the
news, but could hear nothing OF
Importance. In jackson coun-
ty the RAIDS elected their ticket
by majorites ranging from y
to 235, but w. L. Washam,
Democrat, for member of State
Board of Equalization, carried
the county by 2, wkile j. T.
Wilson has a majority of about
ITO over Ralph Leete for Con-
gress. John w. Lewis, Demo
crat, is elected Sheriff Of Scioto
county, and Wilson's majority
over Leete is about so. A
dispatch from Pumeroy says
the Radical majority is POI;
gain of 268. In .Pickaway
county slight Democratic gains
are reported. A Dayton dis.
patch says the Democrats car
ried Montgomery county, III
spite of the African vote, by
800. L. D, Campbell is prob
ably el, cted to Congress ovcl
Schenck. 1t is reported that
Jewett is defeated for Con
gress.
Since writing the above was
put in type we received more
election news. Schenck is pos
itively defeated in the third
district. The RAIDS and Mig.
gers carried Hamilton county
the result being determined
by niger votes. Gen, Carey
and Milton Saylor are both
defeated.
In the State the RAIDS will
have majority Of about r.
600. The Congressrsinal rep
resentation remains about the
same as befors. We lose the
members in the first and ninth
districts, but gain those in the
third ahd sixth.
The Radicals have carried
Pennsylvania by a slightly in
creased mtjority, and have
probably held their own on
Congressman, though the Dem
ocrats claim a gain of two, OF
twenty-four Congressional Dis
tricts, eleven are Republican,
seven Democratic, and six
doubtful. The Republican ma.
jority in Philadelphia is 4,5O0.
Both parties claim Indiana.
The Republicans probably
have majority in the Legisla.
ture, which will give them the
next United States Senator
One of the most gratifying re
suits of the Indiana election is
the defeat of Wilson, in the
Burnt District" by Gooding,
a thorough Democrat, who
beats the Republican, about
400 votes. Lew. Wallace is
also defeated by Manson in the
Seventh District.
Iowa is, Of course, largely |
Republican. The Democracy
had nothing to expect in that
State, and they are not disap.
pointed.
The Democrats have car.
ried Ross county by 800 ma
jority, the 75O Niger votes to
the contrary notwithstanding.

Not So New a Scheme.

The article in Tuesdays issue touching
upon 'trew railroad scheme" contem-
plating the construction of a road from
Memphis to this place, running through
Somerville, Centerville and Denmark,
crossing the Big Hstchie at Estanaula,
running thence to Jackson, there connect
ing with the Huntingdon road, and thence
to Nashville via the Northwestern road,
is not, it appears, so "new" an idea as
one would suppose. In conversing with
an old and experienced railroad gentle
mai yesterday, we were assured that as
far back as 1839-40 Mr.. Thomas L.
Bransford, then member of the Tennes-
see Legislature, conceived the project and
urged it's elaboration of constructing a
railroad between the two cities, over al
most identically the same course. Mr..
Bransford, father of John s. Bransford
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
was himself a man of great practical rail-
road experience, and it will be interesting
to observe whether the meeting at Som
erville, called on the first Monday in
September, with reference to the proposed
new road, will adopt the views of legis-
lator, conceived and elaborated thirty
years ago.

Lovely Mount Olivet--home of the deadl
City OF marble acre of GodV'
with green, living banners thy summit is
crowned,
And flowers on thy slopes in profusion abound.
here nature and art have combined to embrace
Ine richest adornments Of grandeur and grace !;
Ana we almost forget, we Lnusingly stray
That cold silent sleepers dwell hore In the clay
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow,
And hearts that once beat " it'll affections glow
There are locks OF grey and tresses of gold.
And smooth, brown plaits over foreheads cold
There are lisping tongues, and voices still,
Where melody gushed at the owners will:
And coral lips, now cold in death,
That have pressed our own in fond cares.
There are soft, brown orbs where the spirit was
shrined,
And deep wells of thought, where:the strength
Beamed out in expression, end azure ewes
That had gazed on heaven till they'd caught
its dyes.
There are aged matrons with smooth. prav
hair,
And bright young mothers slumber here
There are noble sires and patriarchs good,
And soldiers brave and chfeftains proud
Aye proud that they died ON the battle field.
their shield
There are wives and husbands ofevery age,
And beautiful children-a bright mirage-
And lovers fond and msidens fair,
All heaps OF dust yet still they are dear.
For their treasured words wake soft'ning
thrill
In our hearts, and their forms are worshipped
still.
They have lived and are gone, and as time rolls
on,
We, too, must repose with the silent throng
For all earth's children-the grave and the gay,
The bright and the beautious, must pass away
And where could we look for place more
meet
Than thy beautiful summit, Mount Oliyet -
For repose for the body, It'll Christ shall come,
And Heaven shall open peace for the soul?

THE COTTON FACTORY.
Purchase of Machinery, etc.


The cotton factory building in North
Nashville is progressing rapidly. From the
first commencement of operations there
has been no hardness of effort and energy,
and work in its erection has been pushed
forward vigorously. At no time has there
been q Lack Of means, each stockholder
meeting ali calls and demands readily,
cheertully and promptly. As a conse-
quence though the time has been brief
since the ground was first broken, the
main building is going up steadily and sat
1sfactorily, while several Of the houses at
tached as adjuncts to the factory have
already been well nigh completed. 1t will
be remembered that some weeks since we
published the fact that Mr.. Tabor, one
of the most efficient and experienced men
in cotton factories in the entire country,
with Messrs. Burns and Robert Gardner,
both gentlemen of practical judgment and
enlarged experience, as an advisory COM
mittee, had gone North and East with a
view to the purchase of machinery, etc. +,
for the factory, and the selection of such
material as will be necessary to put it in
full and complete operation. The selec-
ton of these gentlemen was a sufficient
guarantee that the work entrusted to them
would be faithfully and conscientiously
performed. Mr.. Tabor is himself one Of
the heaviest stockholders in the enterprise,
and he has made the business of cotton
factories, and the machinery connected
with the same, the study of q lifetime.
Of the other two gentlemen, it is enough
to say that they are known to be men Of
eminently sound Judgment, and zeslously
alive to the best manufacturing interest Of
our section. Large and complete engines
for the factory have been purchased at the
mandatory in Sandusky, Ohio. We IN.
derstand that they are of the best quality
and highest style of finish, combining 8
capacity equal to $50 horse power. By
contract the builders of the engines are
bound to have them up and in operation a
the factory by the 18th day of the ensuing
November. Capt. Green, of the firm o.
Fite, Anderson 4 Green, left New Yorh
city on last Monday. Messrs. Tabor, Burns
and Gardner were then in that city having
it is presumed. satisfactorily accomplished
the business with which they were en-
trusted. They expected to return imme
diately, and their arrival may be confident
ly looked for by tomorrow or the day at
ter. On their arrival home, all the fact
concerning their mission, the character anC
kind of machinery purchased, with cost o
same, ETC., will likely be made known
Meantime we congratulate the people o
Nashville and Tennessee on the progress o
an enterprise of more magnitude and i'm
portance than was perhaps ever before de
veloped in the State.

German colony at Bridgeport, Ohio, men
ton of which was made few days since,
be having purchased l, 800 acres of land ten
miles from the city, on the GAINESVILLE turn
pike road, has, we learn, been ratified.
Arrangements are being consummated for

Next Tuesday evening, the 3Oth inst, our
citizens will have an opportunity to listen
to the ''Oratorio of Daniel, which will be
given at the Masonic Hall, with a full
chorus of fifty voices, with accompaniment
and choice selection of soloists, who will

abounds in stirring choruses and effective
concerted pieces. We have been permitted
to attend rehearsal of the t'Oratorio, "
and confidently recommend the concert to
all who love and appreciate standard com
positions of this order. Many weeks of
severe labor have been spent in preparing
this concert; and when we remember the
object for which it is given, our citizens
will not only enjoy a treat, but assist
worthy cause.
Tickets can be had at Dorman's music

Postoffice Rumors.

1t was rumored on the streets yesterday
that, although it was thought to have been
settled for time at least, the Postmaster
ship of Nashville will again become a
matter of local interest and excitement.
We understand that two meetings have
been held in the interests of two different
gentlemen, either of whom would not be
averse to stepping into Mr. Embry's shoes
if they could be nominated and confirmed.
Considerable interest is manifested by the
friends of the respective parties alluded
to, and probably some more definite &C
ton may be had in regard to the matter
within the next few days. Meantime we
shall wait and see.
