The Late Elections.

Ohio and Pennsylvania, as we'll az Iowa,
have gone for the Radicals as usual No mat
ter what outrages are committed by the Ad-
mlnistration and Congress, the party in the
strongly Republican States will sustain them.
Il Grant were to declare himself President for
life, rteblcite OF the Radical party IN Radical
States, would respond that he had done lust
right. 1t his administration were even more
prohigate than it is, and his office-holders
should take half the money in the Treasury.
they would endorse it still, Ii Congress were
to pass law declaring that no Democrat or
Conservative should vote or hold Office they
would applaud the act They would not, in
their blind party zeal stop to Inquire. any more
than they do now, what effect these things
| must have, ultimately, upon government of
delegated and clearly defned powers, ike that
which was ordained by our fathers, to preserve
the equal rights Of all its citizens. They would
not look beyond the party contingencies of the
hour 1t only remains therefore for the South
tho United States Of the Sou;h-with the
assistance of such Northern Democratic States
as show true appreciation OF the principles
OF oar Government, to stand together 10 re-
ssting the revolutionary course OF the party in
power, and, IT possible, to restore the Govern
ment to something like it was in the better days
OF the Republic.
We should neither be discouraged nor dis
| mayed by Radical victories. The spread OF
their heresies, and the extension of their pow
err, should only cement Us the more firmly in
cur resistance, and unite US, as one man. in a
common effort to preserve what little is left of
Republican government. Let the South, that
always resisted centralization--the lcensolida-
ton of all power in the Federal head stand
firmly. She will serve as good nucleus for
those States North and West, that will, ere
long, awaken to the fact that the States have
some rights that even the Federal Government
presided over by military adveaturer, IS
| bound to respect. Let Us. then, firmly adhere
20 our principles whatever may betide. Lynch.

Fires in China pn.

We mentioned in our issue of last week that
fire had occurred in Chicago on the Saturday
night before, which destroyed four blocks Of
buildings, inficting loss Of 100000, and
that another fire occurred on the next night
Sunday-which was in progress when We went
to press, and which had by that time destroyed
five thousand buildings This fire continued
to rage until Tuesday, and destroyed, it is re
ported, ten or twelve thousand buildings, in
hicting loss of one hundred millions Of dol
lars-some estimates make it much more, as
much as two hundred millions. but we think
this an exaggeralion. One hundred millions is
large sum.
The space of three square miles-double the
extent of MISUNDERSTANDING the best par,
of the city, was destroyed. A hundred thou
sand people were rendered homeless by this
disaster. This is the most disastrous fire which
has ever occurred in this country. The horror
of the scene, no pencil can paint and no pen
adequately describe. Cities and individuals
throughout the United States are subscribing
literally for the relief Of the sufferers.

AS the subject of the State debt is the one
which is now, more than any other, engrosslng
the attention Of the people of this State, the
following correspondence in reference thereto
will be read with interest. The length OF Mr..
Stuart's letter should not deter any one from
giving it careful perusal.
Hon. Aler. H. II. Stuart:
Dear Sir-As have always entertained grea
respect for your opinions on public questions
and as I presume you have given some atten
ton to the subject of our State finances, vii
be much obliged if you will favor me with you
views in regard to the debt of Virginia, ant
the wisest course to be adopted in regard to it
| further ask that may be allowed to publish
your reply. Yours truly.

At this place three of the captured

when they found that they were about to
fall into the hands of the command.
From this place they followed the prin-

covered three Indians in tho distance,
mounted on two horses. Two of these
were shot dead, the third wounded and
both the horses captured.
The supply of provisions being by this
timc we'll nigh exhausted, and the distance
from camp Mcdowell to the nearest mill

was decided to abandon the pursuit and
return to the fort.
They accordingly took up their homo
