cars of corn which excellcd any we
have seen for many a day; and those
sent US BY our friend Stout, with the
request for decision, make US put on
our studying cap. They arc certainly
mammoth, and deserve all praise. But
between two such samples Of corn it is
impossible to decide. We don't like
draw gamcs;' but in this case, aided
by the mature and experienced advice
of our friend Mr. Ralston, tho conclu.
sion arrived at is, that both samples
arc so good, aud SO much better than
the average corn raised in this section
of country, that we cannot decide be-
tween them. Ono lot seems to be us
good as the other; aud we arc only
sorry that they were not on exhibition
at our late Fair, lie. our friends try
it again this year; but NO hardly
think either Of them can do better than
they did in II.

Especial Dispatches to the Alexandria Gazet


WASHINGTON, Oct. LIN all official circles
hereabout the excitement over the coming
elections of next week is intense No secret is
made of the intentions to use every means pos
sibe to carry Pennsylvania, but there is great
alarm. Reports from Republican source re-
ceived this morning in this city assert that the
change of sentiment within three days has been
formidable, and betoken the overwhelming sue
cess of Buckaew on Tuesday week. Odds are
offered that Hartranft will be defeated, and it
is regarded certain that Hendricks will carry
Indiana. With Pennsylvania and Indiana Dem
ocratic on Tuesday week, Mr.. Greeley chances
for success will be decidedly favorable. The
negroes sent from Virginia. West Virginia, and
the District of Columbia to vote in Pennsylva-
MIA on the Sth, cannot prevent the defeat that
awaits the Radical party in the Keystone State.
