 a French ballooniet, to aaperlority in their peculiar 

 vooatione. The trial came off as advertised, and the 

 oonteat was concluded by tbe descent of both 

 tcronants In the vicinity of Bandnsky, Ohio. Both 

 left Cincinnati at 4.21 P. M., on Monday. Steinek 

 landed at 10 30 the fame evening, in a corn-field, 

 about half a mile from Sandusky city, having tra-

 near Hunt's Corners, about eighteen miles from 

 Sandusky. Steiner and Godard returned to Ctn- 

 oiunali in the same railroad train, find the former 

 has been declared tbe victor! Both aeronauts 

 might have traveled farther, bat neither seemed to 

 fancy a ride over lake Eric during the night, with 

 a prospeot of descending Into the water or in a 

 Canadian forest. The Cincinnati Gazette says that

In Pennsylvania the Official Returns on the Bute 

 Ticket have been received from all the counties 

 bnt nine, and the figures thow a majority of upwards 

 of 25,000 for tho -Opposition" (Republlci 

 American) nominees. Tbe estimated majo 

 the counties not heard from increases thia about 

 1.000. On Congress the majority is much heavier. 

 Toe returns give Jl Opposition, 2 Anti Lecessptos, 

 and 2 Lecomptoo, to tbe next House. 



Ohio exhibits a Republican majority, in 7« coun- 

 ties of 17,73*. and it is thought this will be brought 

 up to about 20.0W. The delegation from Ohio to 

 the next Congress will staid IS Republicans and 

 e Democrats, The present is 12 Rep., 9 Dem. 



Indiana is Democratic on the State Ticket by 

 about 5,000 msj. To Congress tbe returns indicate 

 a choice of 6 Republicans, 2 Democrats, 1 Anti 

 Lecompton; 2 districts not heard from. The re- 

 turns for members of the Legislature thus far 

 received show the election of 12 Republican and 

 3 Anti- Lecompton Democrats, and 12 Administra- 

 tion Senators, while there are 13 Republicans and 

 10 Democrats holding over from last session. In 

 the House, 62 Republicans, 3 Anti-Leoompton and 

 45 Ad. Democrats are elected. 



Minnesota, according to the St. Paul 7W» of 

 the 18th inst., elects 33 RepublicanB to the Bouse, 

 and tbe Democrats 28. There are 1!> districts yet 

 to bear from. The Senate Btands, with four dis- 

 tricts still to hear from, 10 Republicans to fi Dens- 



Iowa, with the exception of nine counties, has 

 been heard from, and the result is as follows:— In the 

 flm Congreaslonal district, Hon. B. S. Curtlsa, Re- 

 publican, has 421 majority. In the second, as far 

 as beard from, W. Vandever, Republican, has 3,364

FALL CAMPAIQH QUARTER ! 



The Sural Threo Months, on Trial, at Half Price! 



[£♦7* At the suggestion of many of its friends 

 and in order to introduce tho paper mere generally 

 preparatory to the new volume, we have concluded 

 to offer tbe Rpkai. for tbo present quarter— Octo- 

 ber to January, 13 numbers— at only Halp Price, 

 (25 cts.) thus placing It within tho means and reaoh 

 of all who wish to give it a fair trial We will 

 Bend i copies for SI; 8 for $2; 12 for $3; 20 for 

 $5, Ae„ and mall to as many different persons or 

 post-offices as desired. Of course, we shall not 

 realize a farthing's profit, yet wish to circulate at 

 least Five Thousand trial copies of this quarter. 



— In rtsponso to tbe above offer, we have 

 already received over Thrte Thousand Trial Sob- 

 Bcrlbera, and they still come at the rate of 200 to 

 300 a day— thanks to the Mod, Women and Young 

 People who bavo entered the arena in behalf of

preserve their ill-gotten wealth. They are en 

 deavoring to find the limits of British power, and 



country where they may settle In peace, and 

 found a new dynasty. But tbe empire and the in 

 fluence of the Indian government are of no con- 

 tracted limits. The offender cannot hope to es- 

 cape beyond the confines of our mle. Sooner or 

 later justice overtakes him; sooner or later he 

 pays the penalty of his crimee, and only learnsour 

 power when he discovers that flight is impossible. 

 North and south, east and west, there is nothing 

 for the rebel but the sea, to him on object 

 perstitioua dread, and tribes of whose hostility he 

 is assured by the remembrance of bygone ages of 

 conquest. Onr confidence is not ill-founded. The 

 steady rise in the value of government promissory 

 notes, the absence of all extensive local distur- 

 bances, the increased vigor of commercial enter- 

 prise, and the removal of martial law over districts 

 fit one time the very centers of rebellion, all show 

 that at no time since May, 1857, have we been more 

 free from danger than at present"

 In about 75 foot of water. Her masts are above

 that she foundered during the gale of last Friday,

 vessel has not yet been ascertained."
