Tho strongest hopo at the South was that ho might loso Pennsyl vania, hut his friends arc confident that that Stato ha* gone for Curtin, the Blaok Republican candidate for Govern- oi, by from ten to fifteen thousand ma jority. The returns from Ohio indicate increased Black Republican gain*, and tho same unwelcome intelligence reach- from lndinfm. Those two latter States, however, we did not expect to see go otherwise than for Lincoln.— And the influences which were brought to hoar in Pennsylvania, niul the imper fect arrangements for a fusion against Curtin, nccount, in some degree for the result there. Tho iron mnitufucturing interests in that State oro very consideahlu and tho number of persons dependent upon it grrat. For several .years jmst, some of tho manufacturing establishments have been suspended, on uccount of iltw low taritfon iron, and hundreds, l.oi lmpx thousands of operatives thrown ut of employment. These, and ail others interested in this department of industry will of course support that po. litical party which Is most fully com mitted to a protective tariff. Lincoln and iiis friends have pledged thoinselvcs in every way to carry out this policy and have thus secured tills voto in Pennsylvania, which is by no means inconsidcruhlo. Mr. Buchanan in 1856 received a largo H proportion of this vote, on account of yy known high tarilfproollvitios, and he was enabled, with this voto, and such ns State pride, and his personal influence gave him, to carry Pennsylvania. While we do not entirely despair, yet, wo have little hope of taking this Stato from Lincoln, and wo must now turn our eyes to Now York to rescue tho Gov* eminent from tho disgraco of Black Re publican misrule, and tho calamities which are almost inevitable. | curvature of tho northern routois taken **—**- rontin- ru paid. |o taka the offlee to which tiler yi. ilii v arc hold responsible until f bill'll tho bill* nml n until all arrears*!:* [-jfmiMcrilwr* neglect or refuse rupspei ... —potijjiMr ...I.

He called him an itinerant ndvocato of his own aluitns, and said that this of itself dis qualified him for tho Presidency. He remarked also that ho would hitvo boon better satisfied if Mr. Bveckinridgo had not listened to tho solicitations of his neighbors, and refused to tnako any speech. In this connection wo were glad to hear him applaud the course of John Boll, by saying that ho "nnd stay cd nt homo nml behaved himself like n gentleman.” Benton, in hi* reply, pro posed that this should decide tho claims of tho groat aspirants, and that ns Bell, oven in tho estimation of tho distin guished Senator, had done better than either of tho other opponents of Lin coln, and, liko a dignified candidate for Presidential honor*, " had stayed nt homo nnd behaved himself like* a gen tleman,” the people had better take him.

Tho Richmond Whig says: TJio Breckinridge and Dougins Com mittees were in session in this city on Friday aud Saturday, nnd after coquet ting with each other for two whole days came to the conclusion tlmt a fusion between the two wings was utterly im practicable. Tho proposed fusion scheme therefore, has proved to bo a terrible iailtuo. Fiom what we hear, tho Dougins men obtained a decisive advantage over the Breckinridgo men, throwing nil the onin of disorganization and factiousness on the latter. Proposition after propo- 1 .-ition for a reconciliation between the two wings was made by the Douglas men and declined by tho Breckinridge Tcrriblo Torture—The Shower Rath* Tho prisons ol Naples, as far ns ex quisite torture is concerned, do not ex ceed in horror tho Now York State prison at Sing Sing. A New York pa per gives an nccount of tho application of tho shower bath to Tom Kelly, n desperate villain, who rocoutly led an attempt to escape from the institution. It says: His was no ordinary ease. Half n dozen keeuers surrounded hi*coll when ho came out of it, and follow ud him to tho shower bath. -Half a dozon men armed to tho tooth, conducted him to the scene of his sufferings, where were waiting linlf n dozen more to oonquer him, should ho make the slightest de monstration of resistance. Kelly camo into the roum, pale nnd livid. The lips were compressed, tho eyes sunken and half closed, and the chock hones projected more prominent ly than inordinary cases, from the com pression of Id* jaws. "Tako off your clothes, sir!” said tho keeper. mandate was obeyed without a reply ; and hu stripped himself nuked, nnd entered the Imth. A convict who stood by fixed his toet in the stocks, his hands in tiie armlets, and Ids head un der the hath. As soon its ho won placed under it, he shook his head, ns much its to say, "I’ve got to suffer.” The witter was allowed to tricklo down his fnoo nnd warm Id* body for iv few minutes before tho hath fell upon hi* head. At length it fell, Tom boro it well, not n shiver of tho leg*, not it muscular movement of the hands or fiugor*, not a single cry of distress, although ho was actually being drowned for about five minutes. "You hoar it well, Tom,” said ono of tho keepers, after tho first five minutes had elapsed, and timo had been given him to recuperate. It Was an awful spectacle to witness this man under the bath. Every muscle contracted and boenme corded; sometimes tho hands would become convulsed, and every nerve strained, when there would follow n relaxation. Then the water would ceaso to pour, and then would appear tho''sufferings of the culprit; tho retching, nml* vom iting of Water, Which lmd swelled th6 l»ody up liko a dropsical invalid.— Hanging is nothing tn the shower hath. The man subjected’to the hath for half an hour stiffen ten times the amount of pain caused bv strangulation, for tho simple reason that Ju*t ns consciousness is aoout leaving, nnd when ho would be happy tn dio, ho Is brought back to a full realization of his sutlerings nnd un happy position. After Kelly had been showered, and taken to his cell, tho keeper turned round, and with a malignant smilu ex claimed, "We’ll subduo him,” Oufc siilevs, from that expressive sentence, may guoss at tho rule in Sing Sing. "It's awful,” was Tom’s reply ; "hut I can’t ask for mercy.” Down came the water again, nnd for five minutes longer tho gurgling sounds of a strangulated man were audible, nnd, when ho was exhausted, the cord was lot up and tho water stopped, few minutes of rolcn'so was granted, and down eaine tho water again, and the scone was more terriblo than tho worst execution wo had over witnessed. At length, congestion of the brain was threatened, and a "hi**” from the physician brought tho third sccno to uloso. Soveml minutes wore allowed tho unfortunata man to recover, but the punishment was too torrible to wit- nes to the end, nnd we left, lie had been fifteen minutes under the shower; hut had twonty-fivo minutes of the same to endure when wo loft; nnd for tho next forty days tho same sort of punislunont will bo meted out to him, A^Hamtftgit Maid* A correspondent of tho New York Times gives tho following picture bf an old maid i , .. ■ - The old mnld, who has just driven by In a privato carriage, is n character,— Sho was a great hello In her day, and being an heiress as well, had offers enough to sntisfy any Veasoflahlo wo man ; but she looked for perfection and a husband—tho consequence U she has found neithor.
