New York, Not. 8, 1865.
In the elections which were held yesterday
the Republican party was almost entirely vic
torious. In the city the majority declined
from 36,000 last year to 25,000 in 1865, and
the city is, as far as we hare as yet ascer
tained, the only electoral division in which she
Republican party is not triumphant. New Jer
sey, for the first time, has returned Republi
cans for every office. In the State of New
York the Republican majority was 15,000.
tin .Sunday a dreadful explosion occurred at
the Wyoming Hotel, in Greenwich street, by
which more than twenty persons were serious
ly injured, but happily no life was lost. The
affair is enshrouded in mystery to such an ex
tent that all that is at present known about it
is: About three months ago an immigrant
named Theod. Leors arrived by steamer from
Hamburg, and put up at the Wyoming Hotel.
Amongst his luggage was a box which be left
behind when removing to another residence,
and this box remained in the store room near
or in the office, and was daily used, some
times as a seat, but more frequently as a rest
for gentlemen to put their feet on whilst get
ting the operation of boot-black performed.—
In this condition the box remained, frequently
shoved about from place to place, until Sunday
last, when its contents exploded, doing very
eonsiderable damage to the hotel, in building
and furniture, and seriously injuring twenty-
two persons. The police officials soon discov
ered the whereabouts of Hears, and produced
him as a w itness, and all the information that
could be had from him was that when he was
leaving Hamburg a druggist there requested
that he would take charge of the box to New
York, saying that it contained chemical oils
in sample, by which he expected to realize
large sums of money in America. Leers com
plied, aud when removing bis luggage from
t'to hotel he forgot this box, and thought no
more about it, nor did he know anything about
its contents. The explosive matter was gly
cerine and nitric acid.
The accounts from Canada in reference to the
late gales are of a calamitous nature. The dam-
age sustained by shipping on Lake Ontario is
very disastrous. Information from Kingston and
Pert Colburn, in Canada West, and from Oswego,
in Xcw York, represent the shore and beach of
the lake as strewn with timber and shattered
Airis of wrecks.
The master of the ship Sarah Helen, of South
Carolina, reports having seen three schooners
from Mobile, Savannah and New Orleans, short
r ’f sail, . therwise apparently disabled, whilst on
his passage from Booth Carolina to this port.
Every day we hear of robberies in the cars
which ply along the railroad tracks on the streets.
lYhen the damage is done by thief and pickpocket
the public is humanely apprised to beware; but
the gentle pnblio is stHi robbed and robbed, and
the question is now asked, of what value are all
these cautions ? People will still be nobbed, be-
t»ase they wiil not look about them and guard
fcgi'DBt being robbed.
The cholera steamship Atalauta. from Ham-
is still at quarantine. The Florence Night,
“■gale attends upon her as an hospital ship, and
totae eight or ten deaths have ensued since Satur-
all aiuvDgst the steerage passengers. The
RMiaship Europe, which arrived from Havre on
ha’urday evening with 300 passengers, has been
tent into quarantine, aud the passengers
kave sent forward a protest to the authorities
against this detention, stating that the port they
"ft »as perfectly free from cholera or any other
contagious disease; that the ship on her passage
ow was perfectly healthy, and still so at the hour
°f the protest. As investigation having been in -
stituted by the offioers of Health, it war conceded
that the passenger* might leave the ship and
| “as ashore, but that the vessel should remain in
| quarantine. It was farther ordered that the sur-
T:r mg passeugereofthe Atolanta should be re
moved to hospital for treafeSant or to a eonvales-
otot asylum, but, as in the foregoing ease, the
S “‘P ‘hould remain at quarantine, and that, both
'hips should be amply fumigated after the remor
w oi their crews and passeng :rs, before permis-
C1 Q 'hould be given to remove from sanitary
ristraiut. ‘ .- , .* '
An interesting statistical table has been Iate-
3 '“ sued from *e War Department, in wh ich
in hospital were 50 per cent, whereas themo-j
tality in the admissions to hospital, during the
war, was only O per cent.
The Canadians over the way seem to be in
a blaze of apprehension and fear of an invasion
and conquest of British power in North Aueri
ca. Government is adding strength to the
military in every quarter, aqd calling in the
assistance of all loyal and well-disposed sub
jects to Her Majesty the Queen to resist and
put down the invasion and rebellion, should it
arise. In compliance with ' this call, the Hi-
berno-Canadian Orangemen are arming and
concentrating as volunteers, whilst numbers of
officers, who held commissions,in the volunteer
service, are throwing up their commissions,
and numbers of soldiers in the ranks of the liue.
or regular army, are taken into custody and
imprisoned for beiDg suspected of Fenianism.
Upon the whole, there is a nice little commo
tion amongi-t our neighbors over the way on the
ternising with the brotherhood, and men of in-
subject. Government officials are openly fra-
fluence and station of the Protestant religion
are joining the movement every day, and with
the fnll and positive knowledge that there it a
Fenian war ship fully manned and equipped
for active service on the lake. t
On Monday, by order of the assignee of the
estate of Mr. Maurice Ketchum, that gentle
man’s real estate in and adjacent to Fifth Ave
nue, was submitted'at auction and realized by
the sale $128,750. The proceeds are to be ap
plied towards the liquidation of the liabilities
in which be is involved through the criminality
of his son, E. B. Ketchum.
By an arrival from Liverpool, on Monday
evening, we have advices to 27rh October. On
that day the remains of Lord Palmerston, by
express orders of the Queen, were interred in
Westminister Abbey, the Queen’s carriage-be
ing the first in the procession. All the Cabi
net Ministers were mourners and pall-bearers,
and the Prince of Wales attended in person in
the Abbey. It appears this interment was
contrary to the wish of the deceased nobleman,
who desired that bis remains should repose in
the quiet and picturesque cemetery at Bromley.
The Cabinet had not been reconstructed on
the 27th. Speculations were wide on the sub
ject, and Earl Russell was believed- to be the
man.
By the arrival of the steamer Cuba, yester
days, we have two days’ later news. The Rus
sell cabinet had not been constructed, and the
noble Earl is regarded with coldness and in
difference even by the party usually acting as
Ministerial supporters of the Whig Ministry.
In Ireland, all the Fenians in custody, on
a charge of high treason, were to be tried at a
special commission. Further arrests bare
been made in Ireland, and antongst the num
ber, Mr. Alfred M. Williams, who stated that
he was connected with the New York Tribune.
He was arrested, and taken into custody at
Queenstown, having in his possession a revol
ver, some ammunition, and a note-book in
which the parties he was to call upon were re
gistered.

The Cholera had not made farther progress in
the vicinity of London. It had considerably
abated in Spain and gradually subsiding, and io
Paris it was believed that this calamity was al
most entirely passing away. The Archbishop
personally made a vi it to each and all of the
oholera hospitals, consoling the patients aud in

The Bourse was flat. Rentes 63f.
Oo the 27th of October the salos ot cotton in
Liverpool IT the week made a total of 44,000
bales, 28.500 of which were for export and specu
lation. On that day the market opened with a
firm and apparently steady tone, bat became ir
regular, veering and fluctuating, and ultimately
closed 1 1 2d per pound lower for American, and
Brazilian being 1-2 less than on the 26th. The
quotations were for New Orleans, 24d; Mobile and
Texas, 22»22 1-4 for middling and upland, 22a

which 50,000 were American, aod the sales that

higher in value.

eff.c ed the day before was lost at the commence
ment of business The sales wen 10,000 bains at
a dull market and prices lower l-4d to l-2d per

of improvement in the course of the day nor at
the elite.
The markets for raw grain and flour were buoy
ant. and prioes higher with an npward ten iency.
On Saturday the market was unsteady, and
sales were effected at a deduction of 'about a
cent from Friday’s rates. The receipts were
960 bales, arid the sales 1500, at from 44 to 58,
and for New Orleans 46 a 59. On Monday the
receipts were 12,000 bales, and sales only 550.
The market was languid and irregular, finally
closing at the general rates of the day, which
were without alteration from those of Satur
day. The general rates for Middlings were
54 a 55. Yesterday the receipts were 2400
bales, and sales about 1200. The tone of the
market was dull, and prices lower—the lowest
and highest figures being for Upland 42 a 55 ;
Florida 42 a 56; Mobile 43 a 56; New Orleans
and Texas 43 a 57. Tue reports from. Liver
pool the day before had a very depressing effect
on the market, even though the business done
at the close of the market latest reported was
active and prices Id. higher, or thereabouts.
The receipts of materials for daily consump

including in one day 7,500 barrels Qf flour, 1250

Ou the 26th, Thursday, numerous pieces o^
wreck were passed, and mahogany logs, giving
rise to the conjecture that a large vessel had
been wrecked in tho vicinity. On this ac
count a good lookout was kept, and at half
past two P- M-, in latitude 29 07, longitude
80 27, Cape Canaveral bearing southwest, dis
tant forty miles, Captain Holley, of the steam
er Newbern, discovered men floating on what
appeared to be a raft to the southward. The
ship bore down towards them, came to, low
ered the third cutter and took them off, a tre
mendous ground swell running at the time.—
They proved to be four of the crew of the ship
Mersey, of Liverpool, loaded with mahogany,
forty days out from Santa Anna, Mexico^
which foundered at sea on the night of the 23d.
The men were in a dreadful condition, having
been in the water so long a time (four days.)
Their clothes were all washed off them, their
legs very much swelled from the action of the
salt water, and they had attempted to qneneb
their thirst by sucking the blood of one of
their number, a large wound in whose arm
was a testimony to the fact. They were made
as comfortable as possible on board, clothing,
Ac., being furnished them. The following is
the
Statement of Robert Smith, one of the Rescued
Men.
The Mersey sailed from Live r pool and arrived
at Santa Auna, Boyles, master of her. While
lying ofl Santa Anna the captain and three men
were lost while going ashore in a boat, there be
ing a heavy surf ou the beach. The first, mate,
Wm, Bayles, a brother of the late captain, then
took charge. She left Santa Anna ou the 12th of
September, short handed, bound for Cork or Fal
mouth, fot orders. After experiencing much bad
weather iu the Gulf, she reached the Allan tic,
aud ou the 2lst of October, while in the Gulf
Stream, she encountered a heavy gale from the
northward aod eastward. She labored heavily,
losing some of her lighter spars, unlit the morn
ing of (he 23d, when it was resolved to cut away
the masts. The weather main shrouds were ac
cordingly cut, and the mainmast went over to
leeward; the mizzenmast, foretopmast and the
jibbcom went by the board at the lame lime,
leaving only the loremaat standiug. The lee rig
ring, however, still held the wreck of the masts
near the ship, aud, in consequence of these
breaking in her sides, became water-logged, and
at 9 p. in., she lay on her beam ends. All bands
got att, and remained there till 7 a m , of the
24th, when tbevessel rolled over and went down,
carrying all on board with her.
She had on board at the time thirteen men,
all told. -Robert Smith sta'es that he went
down for some distance with the wreck, and on
coming to the surface he saw several of the
ship’s company floating about on logs and parts
of the ship. Of these the first mate, Os-
well, who was on a log, appeared to be very
weak, aod was soon washed off and drowned.
The carpenter, steward, one boy aud two
men were in sight for some time, but finally
sank.
Seeing two men on a piece of wreck at some
distance, Smith swam towards it, and found
that it was the stern of the ship, to which was
clinging the captain ( Wm- Bayles,) the second
mate (Charles Connor) and three men, named
Charles Clayton, Wm. Dorian and Jaste Du
bois, a Frenchman.
Just about the time that Smith reached the
raft the second mate, who had apparently been
muclt bruised, lost bis'bold, was washed off and
was not seen again. The captain, too, was
very weak, his right hand being almost severed
from the wrist, and his left arm seriously hurt
by being jammed between the timbers.
When Smith got on the raft there were then
five men depending on it for lile, without a
particle q! food or water and very little clothing.
They ail clang to it, however, till about halt-past
seveu P. M.., of the. satpe day when the captain
died, and Was washed tiff the wreck by the next
wave. The four remaining men contrived to
held on to the raft until they were picked up by
the Newbern’8 boat in the afternoon of the 26'h.
While on the raft they wero passed by two
steamers, one schooner and a bark, wh:ch seemed
heraelf to be almost a wreck ; bat owing to the
heavy sea rnnning. and the distance at which
these vessels passed them, they were not ob
served.
Names of the Rescued.
The following are the names of the survivors:
Robert Bmitb, Charles Clayton,
William Dpan, Juste Dubois.
Names of the Lost.
The following perished with the ship orshoit-

The carpenter, name nn-S’ephen Clariss, an Ital-

The c iptain, Wtn. Bayles, as before stated, died
while on the raft.

bern.
On the evedto _ _
24th,) at 8 o’clock, a-light was made to the north
and east. H burnt up qnite brightly, aod was

gales. She had a cargo of ono thousand and
twenty-two bales of cotton, fifty-one biles of
wool, one thousand five buDdrcd and eighty-
nine hides, and sundry other articles of mer
chandise. The IKaltham was built at Rich

Messrs. M. S. Hagar & Co. She registered
four hundred and sixty-five tons, and rated
A 1 1-2.
Loss of the Bark John Wesley.
The bark John TVesley, Captain Patten,

Case of Messrs. Doughty, Watkins
and Might.
We learn, says the Augusta Transcript,
that General Steadman has issued an order de
claring the finding of the Commission in the
above case, to wit: That the charges and
specifications are not sustained as to Messrs.
Doughty and Watkins, who were accordingly
acquitted, flight was found guilty, and or
dered to be hanged. General Steadman ap.
proves the finding in the case of Doughty, but
disapproves the finding as to Watkins, who,
he asserts, according to the evidence, is equally
guilty with flight. He, however, in accord
ance with the finding, orders the release of
Doughty and Watkins. The General ap
proves the lidding as to Hlght, but in con
sideration of the fact that he was no more
guilty than Watkins, he commutes bis sentence
to fifteen years imprisonment in Auburn State’s
Prison, New York.
In accordance with the above orders, Dough
ty and Watkins were released from imprison
ment last evening.
The Fire.—About 2 o’clock last Wednes
day morning the citizens of our quiet town
were roused from their peaceful slumbers by
au alarm of fire. The fire, doubtless the work
of au incendiary, originated in a store bouse
filled with cotton, adjoining the old Post Of
fice, on Jackson street. The store was owned
by Mr. Spalding Paine, of this city; the cotton
by parties in Florida. The wind being fully
high at the time, tbe flames communicated
with and consumed H. M. Chastain’s store,
containing a stock of goods owned by U.
Quinn- They afterwards reached and burned
a stable, the property of Col. McIntyre, mak
ing an estimated loss of $20,000.
For some time the fire threatened to prove
the greatest conflagration in the aunals of
Thomasville, but owing to the indefatigablo
efforts of the citizens and others the flames
were checked before they reached Broad street.
We do not wish to be invidious, but the thanks
of the citizens are especially due General
Vaughn, Messrs. James Sheldon and I. D.
Wing, Revenue Tax Agent, for Services ren
dered in staying the progress of the flames.
Thomasville Express, Nov. 1.
We regret to hove to announce the death of
Mr. Sheldon Swift, of this county, who died
on the 23d of last month at his residence. Mr.
Swift was an emiaently practical and success
ful planter, a useful citizen, and an active mem
ber of the Primitive Baptist Church. His sick
ness was short and severe, but borne with pa
tience and resignation, and he died in fuff hope
and assurance of eternal blessedness.—Ibid.
Reign of Terror.
Fur some time past our citizens living in tbe
vicinity of the Macon afid Brunswick and Ma
con and Western Railroad depots, have been
suffering in person aod property from the out-
ragous conduct of negro guards, who were sent
to that locality to preserve order and quell dis
turbances, instead of rioting, drinking, stealing
and other disgraceful conduct which have char
acterized their sojourn in West Macon. These
movements, which hav** been clandestine here
tofore, on Saturday night broke out into open
violence, and defiance of all law and restraint.
Tbe chief marshal, upon making the facts
known to Col. Dawson, was furnished with a
portion of his guafd* under the command of
Capt. Tsounsell, company I, 187th Ohio Vol
unteers, who promptly repaired, in company
with the city polifefe, to the scene of action, and
after considerable effort, succeeding in arresting
fifteen of the guards, and placed them in jail to
await trial. Captain Trounsell evinced much
courage and tact in quelling tbe tumult, and

Atlanta, Nov. 9. -
Cotton was not so lively as ou ibe previous
day, aud uponeuquiry io the afternoon we dis
covered that prices bad receded slightiy. A lew
trausaciiong took place at 42c. but ihe demand
was moderate, aud tbeie was no eagerness on the
part of either buyrs or holders. We believe the
extreme figures may be placed at from 36a42c.
Cincinnati Markets. '
Cincinnati, Nov. 3.
The Provision market during the past week bas
had a decided downward turn, uoiders df old
stocks seem anxious to close out, even at very
low prices, in order to clear tbeir cellars aud re
duce their stocks to cash. This pressure on tbe
market has bad the effect of lowering prices
generally, so that old products can be bought
much lower than the new green is selling. This
has to some extent thrown a damper ou the
trade for bogs which have been selling at exor
bitant prices uot so much because of the short
crop idea, bat simply in a point of dollars and
cents. Slaughterers have been able to turn
them over in a tew days aud make a little profit
by makiog most of tbe hog into lard and selling
the hams, which two articles have been in good
demand all other products are neglected, and at
the high prices asked for hog9, will be (or some
time to come. Tbe large number of hogs now
offering sboaid dissipate ull ideas of short crop,
or at least ot exceed ugly short crop. Tbe low
price of corn and high price ot hogs will bring
the latter, and we may reasonably expect lower
prices as the soason progresses. The asking
price is $11 50 tor November, aod $11 lor Decem
ber, gross, or 413%al4j^ tor December aud No
vember, nett, without buyers at the close.
M-kss Pork has declined to 13z for choice city,
closiug with more sellers than buyers.
Prims VIkss—The stock here is not heavy, and
held by few parties, who are hanging to tbe last
straw, in hopes of getting ont whole. Tbe few
Rumps left here are offered at $18*22.
Lard has been in good demand ot 26a26)£c for
steam whole hog, or 28a2S)£c lot kettleil; kegs
held at 29s3lc for whole hog and kettled.
Bulk Meats aod Bacon a eso unsettled that
accurate quotations caunot be giveD. There
seems to be a regular panic id prices. Bulk
Shoulders and Sides are offered at 15)£altiJ£c.
For clear th re are no quotable prices; almost
any price offered would be accepted. The whole
market closes in a panicky condition, and any
quotations 1 might make ueed uot be relied on
lor an hour to come.
