Floridk Election.
The election in Florid. 1... been carried by the
democrats, though the majority ie not ye. nscet
tained The opposition force- are split to piecea
floating about like drift wood upon the great sea
of politics— catchiog at every issue-living upon
temporary expedients, while the Democracy gam
strength— continues firm in its principles and is last
winning the approbation and affection of the poopie-
This is clearly shown in the recent election in on
da where, under the pressure ot circumstances, .
grace charge of disloyalty to; th. : * '>“
conatitoenta was preferred ***““ but „ hich
the democratic nominee tor Congr . ’ gienal | y
the people refused to believe and rebuked gnaUy
at the ballot-box those who made it. It are
flection upon their intelligence to bring such an
indictment against a faithful
another point of view the victory hae a bearing
upon the politics of other States. Judge flaw kins
was a supporter of the Conference Bill and the re
mit show. that that question was considered a
dead issue in the canvass and no cause for dissen
.ions and divisions in the Democratic party, which
time would not heal It was'regarded as the
act of the South and no issue was made with
the Representatives who may have erred in their
support of this measure.
The Cable—Electricians.
The failure of the passage of electric currents
through the great cable is still a mystery, notwith
standing the experiments which are being made
from day to day.
Every Electrician has his own peculiar views
as to the cause of the difficulty—one believing that
the defect exists in the line at a distance ot two
hundred miles from the eastern shore; another
within a few miles ; another thaf there are two de
fects- So the public are none the wiser so far
from, the experiments of Professor’s Whithouse,
Varley, and others. Mr. Hughes, the American
electrician, has not yet experimented with h ; s in
struments. The English are giving their electric
ians the first chance and will only take Proleseo r
Hughes when the experiments of all Englishmen
shall have failed.
State Elections.
To-day (the 12th) elections take place in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, Soutli Carolina and
Minnesota, the results of which will do much
to determine the character of the next Congress.—
None of these States have senators in Congress to
elect except Minnesota. In the present House of
Representatives there are from Pensylvania fifteen
democrats and ten republicans : in Ohio, nine dem
ocrats and twelve republicans; in Indiana, six
democrats and five republicans ; in lowa, two re
publicans, in Minnesota, two democrats. Total*
thirty-two democrats and twenty nine republi
cans.
Crystal Palace.
The Trustees of the Crystal Pa'ace recently
burnt in New York have offered a reward of
$3,000 for the detection and conviction ot the in
cendiary—quite a number of contributors were
searching the ruins nud turning up the nibbish af
ter the fire for their lost property, but few articles
of value were found. The box containing SI,OOO
worth of jewelry belonging to Tiffany &, Cos., has
been found —one end partially burnt. With the
exception of this box, nothing of value has been
discovered.
The destruction of the Ciystal Palace involves
a loss variously estimated at from $500,000 to
$1,500,000. The original cost of the building was
about $,800,000, and some of the papers estimate
the value of the machinery, goods, works of art,
&c., destroyed at over $1,000,000. The structure
had, however, been sold some year or more since
for $125,000, and at the time of its destruction it
was owned by the city of New York, and held
at about $500,000 value, having au insurance in
various offices amounting to SIOO,OOO. Among
the property destroyed were several fine pieces of
statuary, including Kiss’ eqaestrian statue of the
Amazon ; Marochettis’ fine colossal statue of
Washington ; casts from Thorwalsden’s group of
the Apostles; a bas-relief of the “Descent from
the Cross;” a mantle statue of Columbus, and sev
eral other valuable works of art.
Supreme Court.
We extract the following from the presentments
of the Grand Jury of Taylor Superior Court in
elation to the Supreme Court:
“In relation to the Supreme Court, we deem it
not improper to state that as that tribunal ha 9
been condemned by several Grand Juries in this
State, that we are decidedly in favor of that organi
zation, as we believe that in all well regulated
communities, there should be a fioal tribunal for
the proper adjudication and settlement of questions
of law, to the end that’tlie law may be known aud
universality and supremacy be given to the same,
and as we are not familiar with the questions which
have lately been decided by that Court, which
has given rise to the complaints against the Court,
withhold an expression of opinion concerning the
same. Wehavo full faith and confidence in the
wisdom and integrity of our Legislature to believe
that they will correct any evils which may exist
in relation to the present organization of that body.
We also express our entire confidence in the in
tegrity, honesty and ability of the present mem
bers of that|tribunal.’’
Practice vs. Preaching.
Upon passing by one of the People’s party
meetings, a few evenings since (says the Philadel
phia Pennsylvanian) our attention was attracted
by the decidedly French appearance of one of the
speakers, and upon closer observation, we found
it to be the champion of American labor, Hon.E.
and. Morris. As we listened to his impassionate
harangue in behaltof the great principle of pro
tection to American labor, and his disinterested
determination, it needs be, to offer himself up a
willing sacrifice to its success, we could not re
ran* from th ° that the American people
were k somewhatf g ullible. or very easily
ged, if they could be made to believe all that was
going on there was gospel tru th. Them stood
this great champion of protection to American
industry protestmg, vowing and almost swearing
aL,* dete ; miuatio ‘o ‘support everything
American, and yet upon his own person, so lar
as the eye could perceive, not a single thread of
American manufacture was to be lound. French
and English manufacture from his head to his
feet, without a redeeming trait. Well did we
exclaim, Vine la Humbug !

One is a day’s picking of 26 hands, on the

not selected; the day was dry, the sun hot, ilie
wind high and but little dew. The 26 hands,
walkiog’four miles to and from jthe field, picked
6854 pounds, a little more than 263 lbs each. All
done between daylight and dark.
Another day’s picking of two hands on the
plantation of T. G. Holt, Esq.,ol Columbus, Ga.

Attack of the Indians on a Pembina
Train.
THE FRASER RIVER PARTY.
: We find the following letter from J McFet
■ ridge, Collector of Customs at Pembina, in
J the St. Paul Pioneer and Democrat.
“It is with regret that I have to announce
i the murder ot three of our people by the
; Sioux of the plains. They were on their
way from St. Paul, and were within one
day’s march of Pembina, when the party
(only four in number) was attacked by a
party of nine Sioux. Three of our men
were instantly killed and scalped ; the re
maining one of the party luckily made his
escape.
“1 think it is high time that the govern
ment should do something for our part of
Minnesota. As for the Port which is now
being built on Red River,near Point Gra
ham, it is no more protection to our tra
ders than is Fort Riley.
‘’The Sioux of tho Plains have hung
around Pembina and St. Joseph all sum
mer ; and as the most of our people were ei
ther at St. Paul or on the Plains, laving in
provisions tor the winter,the feu T ANARUS, who were
left at home to make hay and take care of
the cattle, were afraid to go out.
“The Sioux killed and -scalped a man
within twenty feet of his own door, at St.
Joseph, in the month of July.
“These are facts , and should be attended
to, as there are a great many of our peo
ple moving down the river to the Selkirk
settlement, on account of the danger from
the Indians, and the failure on the part ot
the government to protect the settlers.”
The Loss of the Austria.
How a lady saved her life , but lost her jew
elry and passage jnoney on board the
Austria.
[From the. CincinoaUi Gazette, Oct. 2.]
Some persons are born under a lucky
star, or are protected by an overruling Prov
idence when they least expect it, and are
themselves murmuring at the derangement
of their plans. A lady, resident of this city,
arrived home yesterday from a visit to
Europe, tflicrts She baa beer! spending the
past few mdriiiis. A short tune previous
| to the sailing of the Austria the lady sent
the amont necessary for a cabin passage to
New Y rk to the agent at Hamburg, with
instructions to select her a good stateroom,
lie did as directed, with the exception of
giving her a desirable location in the ves
sel. and on her arrival in Hamburg, to sail
with the steamer she found the vessel so
crowded with passengers, and the room
j assigned her so undesirable, that she con
eluded to take passage in another steamer.
With this intention she applied to the agent
for the return ot her passage money, but
he declined to refund. “A bargain was a
bargain” with him, and the lady was either
compelled to accept such quarters as had
been assigned her, or to return bv another
vessel and lose her passage ticket. She
determined to adopt the latter course, and
at once secured a stateroom in another
steamer.
After her arrangements had been made,
and before the Austria sailed, a feeling
took possession of her mind that the vessel
in which she had taken passage would meet
with some terrible accident, and that she
herselt would in all probability be lost. So
well satisfied was she that something would
happen—just as people frequently “borrow
trouble” without wailing for it to come
along naturally—that she determined to
send her jewelry by the Austria, She
therefore stripped herself of everything
valuable, watch and chain, pins, rings,
brooches, &c„ to a considerable amount,
and packing them securely in a casket, com
mitted them to the care ot the captain of
the Austria, taking the precaution to inform
her friends of what she had done in order
that they might recover the property in ease
her own groundless fears in regard to her
self should be realized.
The result is well known. The vessel
in which Hie lady took passage arrived
safely at i s destination. That which she
had been prompted to leave, even at con
siderable loss, with its load of human be
ings, met with a fate that appalled the
stoutest hearts. It is needless to add that
the lady is contented. She lost her pas
sage money and jewelry, but saved her
life.
The Army and Navy.
Lieut. Francis H Baker has been ordered
from the Pennsylvania to the Water-Witch.
The steamers Fulton and Water Witch
sailed from Norfolk on the 4th instant, to
join the Paraguay expedition.
A very-interestmgT’vent took place on
board the revenue cutter Harriet Lane pre
vious to her departure for Paraguay to
co-operate with the naval fleet ordered
there. It was no less than the piesenta
ttou to Captain Fautice of a splendid silver
pitcher from Miss Harriet Lane, and gold
headed canes from lion. Howell Cobb to
Capt. John Paunce, Lieutenants A. D.
Stanford; D C, Constabel, J Wall Wilson,
Chief Engineer JR Dryburg, and assistant
Engineer Walter Scott, who were attach
ed to that ship in July last. The presen ta*
tions were made by the Hon. Augustus
Schell, collector of the port of New York.
The Spanish Mission-
The New York Times announces,
From a reliable source we have informa
tion that the Hon. William Preston, of
Kentucky, has received and accepted the
appointment of Minister to Spain.
Of the appointment itself, the Times
remarks:
A more judicious selection it would have
been difficult to make. A gentleman of fine
accomplishments, and an able speaker and
debater, the retirement of Mr. Preston from
public service two years ago, after an unu*
sually brief career, has been a source of
sincere regret to his friends. A foreign le
gation will give room for a more effective
manifestation of his abilities, and will serve
to bring him forward or.ce more in relations
better adapted to his tastes and pursuits.
While the Whig party existed, Mr.
Preston was one of its most zealous sup
porters. Upon the resignation of the Hon.
Humphrey Marshall, in view of his ap
pointment to the Chinese Commissioner
ship, Mr. Preston was elected to Congress
on the Whig ticket from Louisville (YTlth)
District, and took his seat at the second
session of the XXXIId Congress, Dec. Gth,
1852. He early distinguished himself as a
warm adherant of Mr. Fillmore’s Adminis
tration. At the election in 1853, he wa6
again returned, beating English, Democrat,
by 1,762 majority, in a District which at
the same time gave 250 majority for Presi
dent Pierce. During the administration of
the latter, he gradually inclined to the Dem
ocratic creed; and, in 1855, allowed him
self to be placed on the Democratic ticket,
in his District, as the antagonist of Mr.
Marshall, the American nominee. He was
defeated by 2,554 majority. Since then
Mr. Preston has remained a steadfast sup
porter of the Administration, doing good
service in the election of Mr. Buchanan. To
the latter circumstance, and to his eminent
fitness for the place, he doubtless owes the
present appointment. Perhaps, too, the
old warm personal friendship entertained !
for him by Vice President Breckinridge has
had its influence. It will be remembered
that, in the difficulty between the latter
gentleman and Mr. F. B. Cutting,Mr. Pres
ton acted as the second of his Kenncky
neighbor.
From the Richmond South.
Forney’s Address. —A friend was so
superfluous as to ask if we had read Mr.
John VV. Forney’s latest manifestation.—
He must have thought we had very little
to do, or else were very badly off lor some
thing to read. Forneyism in daily instal
ments is bad enough in all conscience, but
to take it all at a single dose would nauseate
an ostrich. We did read the first sen
tence of Forney’s manifesto of grievances,
and the sentiment therein expressed miets
our ‘hearty approval. He says: “The
American people have little or no sympa
thy with the personal griefs of public men*”
Not presuming to speak for the whole body
of the American demos, we will say for our
selves that nothing is more perfectly odi
ous and abominable to our ears than the
sepulchral lamentations of a disappointed
place hunter. Hence we will read none of
Forney’s jeremiad. We trust however,
since the agony of parturition is past, he
feels better in mind and body.
Hon. Henry Bedinger, late Minister to
Denmark, has arrived at his home in Jef
ferson county, Va., and has been cordially
greeted by his numetous friends of all par
ties.

Lisbon was reported to have decided in fa
vor of a general reduction in the important

not be put into force until next year, as
they must pass the Cortes, which meets in
November.

From Havana.
correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, under date of
29th ult. writes.
For the season, we have an unpreceden
ted number of vessels in this port—2l
ships and barques, 17 brigs and two schoo
ners—total 40 vessels belonging to the
United States. In several past years we
have had only about 10 or 12 vessels during
September. Captain Secor, of the barque
John aDd Albert, died yesterday from over
excitement to business and consequent neg
lect of ,himself. His remains will be em
balmed and sent to his friends.
The health of Havana has not been bet
ter for many years, and the cool winds
which have visited us with great regularity
for the last ten days, seem to have used
up Yellow Jack—although in the bay,
with a large fleet lor the fall, a few cases
occur. But where treatment is prompt
aud care given, the forms are mild and the
patients saved.
We are to have a direct line of steam
ers with New York—agents this side a
strong house—stock taken—and the en
terprise will be handsomely sustained.
The Main Trunk Survey. —For some
w*eeks past a corps of surveyors have been
busily engaged in running the line of the
.Main Trunk from the Whitlacoochee to
Thomasville. They arrived here tha be
gining of this week, and we presume will
j proceed at once to lay out the line from
this place to Bainbridge; and thence to the
western terminus of Chattahoochee. We
understand Dr. Screven, the President of
the road, will be here shortly, and that it is
1 contemplated to let out the contracts up
; on the whole line at once, that the work
i may go on simultaneously, and be finished
i as near as may be about the same time.
*‘W T ith the lights before us,’we look con
fidently to the completion of the Main Trunk
South in time to carry to market the crop
of 1860, arid hope to celebrate this momen
tous event to the Southern citizens of Geor

lIEADACH and debility.
Mf. Silas Lipscomb of Birmingham says:
“I have found in Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a
femedy for Headache and Debility. My w.te has
also U6ed it with the greatest benefit.”
Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re
marks that he has experienced much relief from
its use for headache.
Take a half a teaspoonful three times a day
an hour before meals. Eat moderately, and then
of wholesome food, and you will find this really
a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache,Weak*
’ ness of any kind, Costiveness and Piles. Being
perfectly simple in composition, it may be taken

HAIR RESTORATIVE .
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
are assured will strengthen the hair and prevent
its falling out. but none that we have seen used J
does all that it promises, save that of Professor |
0 J Wood’s. This we kuow is good from hav
iug tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
, beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of bottles, and alter finding
that it prevented our hair from falling out, we
presented a bottle to a ftieud who had been bald
t or at least thirty years; it Jias restored Ins hair
entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy as when
he was twenty live. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall be glad to have our friends try it for
themselves, as we belieye it is just what it protess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Kestora
j five is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
[ use for restoring hair on bald heads, changing gray
: hair on bald heads, changing gray hairs to their
original color, and for a cosmetic or cure for pim
j pies, it is fast taking the place of other prepara
tions. No toilet nov*a days is complete with
out it.
If any one should ask us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, was the best and
most honest compound remedy for preserving and
beautifying the hair, and restoring gray hairs t to
its original color, and the locks to the bald headed
we should, without hesitation say, Professor O. J.
