Victory has pelched upon the Dem

The great States of Ohio asd indian
a have at last pronounced decidedly
against the administration. Ohio is
carried by the Democracy with O
majority Of from seven to ten thous'
and upon a full vote. Our friends
have elected fourteen Of the twenty
four Congressman. being a gain Of
seven members for the Democratic
ranks in the next Hoase.
Indiana is NOT behind Ohio. The
Democrats have carried Indiana by
ten thousand majority.
The Southern outrage" mill ha-
ground no grist in the Northwest. 1t
is evident that the people of that rec

his satellites have tprsad broadcast
during the campaign.

The reports from the different

IN in TO. be heard from, thanks to the
efficiently Of the county Press,-give
but gloomy accounts Of the cotton
crop. 1t certainly connot exceed a
half a crop. The grain crop fortu.
nately has been, a very good one, this
year and all planters and farmers
have a suficieDcy of brcad-stuffs, and
some to spare to immigrants. The
seasons have been propitioas for the
grasses and the range all over the
State is most excellent, which en-,
ables. along with the super fluffy of
grain, every one to have all abund-
ance. he excellence of the range
has enabled our stock raisers, to. re-
alize handsomely from their beef

Of the Baltimore Gazette.
Your correspondent was shown the tred f6F
days ago from uudor which was dug The SUM OF
$40, ,000. Tho tree is an oak, and stands on the
west side of tho ruad leading from Charleston to
Shepherdstovn, and about 10 miles from the
latter place. Tho story, ~ it goes here, ana
which is believed to be true ono, is as foiloHs: !:
During tho War Al officer OF tho Federal army,
who had charge Of large sum OF moneJ.A A :
beneath tho tree. doing so either from fear OF
falling into the hands Of tho Coafederste5y or II
may have been to secure it for himself mo
latter, he succeeded, II We credit what toilo"s.
which is told by ps1ties who saw tho oT1deocea
Of the facts and heard the story from the p1isg
when he returned to take a"nJ the ou7eo
treasure.
Tho party, whose name is not given, or, no
gave one. was NJ assumed name na8 tried . rear
or two after the War for the etnbez2lement OF
Government money-thd sano money no n2a

convicted Of the charge aa en as,,e
This ho did, and tho law was satisfied. for he de-
cliued to civo any clew to the whereabouts OF tho
nouoy, His sentonce expired = few months age.
and, as vas expected, he lost no time in hurry
ing to tho spot, wheraa fortune was to be had
for the digging. It seems his knowledge Of tbs
locality had som ewhat failed, for he was seen in
tie Leichborhood for ssyersl days, but ono fne
morning be hzd gone. and with him the money.

Tho record Of the week shoWd that tho dram ,
has continued to flourish, although the general
attendance may not have averaged as we'll as il
did during the few previous weeks. The s:rang-
ers hn7o left us and returned to their homes In
the country, carrying with them pleasant rccol.
lections OF happy hours spont with Rip Fan
Itinkle and the heroes Of other dramas Whicl,
wero presented With . special view to their en-
tertainment. They have not seen THE Man O
Airlie." foc which they should be sory, but their
city relatives must make the same admission.
The former, however, were allowed no oppor-
tunity, and the 1attor were. The abseuce Of
transient sojou1uers in the city is quite apparent
to anybody who has studied the appoar-
ance Of audiences habitua1ly, and almost
knows tho metropolitans BY heart. However,
city OF country people, they a'l act a1ilo. The
bald headed men talk in the theatre; those who
bear the patent mark Of the third-claas retaii-
etores the bar-room, and the livery amuse
themselves at the expense Of others, according
to their various tastes and previous conditions.
The homely aud ill-bred women rlse from their
seata before the curtain has descended on the
last act, as usual, and deport themselves IN 4
manner utterly unlike that Of genuine !adles.
OF course the larger and better class OF l2d1es do
not act thus, but our public gatherings. Like our
politics, take their stamp from those whose SELF

Monday night 'The Sphinx" Was played to =

with regard to the drama. It is the worst of its

While Mr:: Barrett played shakspearean pieces
he drew lsrge and admiring audiences. When
he produced drama whose merits had been
acknowledged in the East, but we're new to the
West, the audiences fell OH, and gapcd at him.
While the nasty "sphinx" was assuring young
and giddy wives that tho most trivial circum-
stances justified treaohery to their friends and
inadelity to thair husbands, the exquisite pathos
and pure sentiment Of jamie Hareben were be-
slowed Upon more empty benches than Diogenes
would have predicted. The stage hero must

somebody's wife, if possible-to give
tho p9rquetto assurance OF man.
Jamte Harebeu has nothing about him in COM
mon with the modern stago hero. He doas not
proclaim his excellence; ho is very modest he
makes dishonorab1e oyertu7es to no woman; lie
il the s1mple, generous child Of Nature, and his
thoughts are - fresh with the dew as the flower
