As Uto pally Journal^ aim tho pcoploof tho ..North take much interest in tho recent oleo tious in Pennsylvanie, and Ohio, it, is prop er that wo;should supply our roaders with tho Opinions of sonic of the loading journals of that section, pn tho result.' Thc New York .;, Tribune," says : ' ' " Pennsylvania yesterday elected Judgo Shorewood to her Supremo Hench, by a small majority. This ia as wo apprehended, though not as wo wished. He is an able mau, while ' bis long experience as a judgo, and his res.. >>?' donco in Philadelphia, gt,vo bim a decided advantage over his competitor. This triumph is personal, and rallier in spite of his thor oughly had polities, than because of them." Tho " Philadelphia Press,-' one of Forney's pupers, says : Tho defeat of thc Republican party in Philadelphia is overwhelming. Nve have j f dion off in every ward, and while we eaunut conceal our profound regret at tho unexpec ted event neither do wo conceal our satisfac tion, that we havo had to encounter a host of prejudices, and an organization of bigotries which can never again be so powerfully ar rayed against tho IJcpubiioan party, lt is unnecessary to specify tho causes of our over throw. These uro not sufficiently familiar ns to bo remembered ns wannngs in the greater trials immediately before us-warnings whiob, Uko tho overthrow of tho Union nrmy a^ Rull Run in 1801, will only better disciplino and prepare thc champions of human freedom fora braver and a luckier conflict with thc sympathizers with the rebellion. Tho " Philadelphia Enquirer," (Republi can) says : Tho oily of Philadelphia has been carried by tho Democrats, who have elected their whole cit}' nnd county ticket by majorities va rying from 1,238 up to 5,88ft. Iq regard to thc Legislative ticket there is doubt; but in several districts in which Re publicans were elected last year, Democrots will now bo returned. Tho result ill thc ?hird Senatorial district shows that David A Nagle, Democrat, has been elected, which is no gain, thc district having been PempcYatio for many years. H lu regard to thc Cou nolls, it is certnin tint Democrats will repla?a the Republicans in several wards but as two thirds hold over in both branches, there will still be n Republican majority in both chambers. The whole num bor of votes polled upon the ticket for sheriff was 104,(521, being nbout 1,500 less than last year. There have boen several causes which have produced this stale of affairs. Thc "Philadelphia Age," (anti Republi can) says : For many years we have not been able to present our readers with such gratifying in telligence as is conveyed in thc returns of thc election of yesterday. The city of Philadel phia-the Gibralter of radicalism-with eve ry influence that money and place could exert against thc Democratic party has elected eve ry city and county officer nominated by the Democrats by substantial and, in some in stances, enormous majorities. The value ot' such a victory can hardly ho told. If thc ex nmplo of tho city is followed throughout the Stato. ns wo believe it has been, imitated in other States, as we hope it will be, thc ex tremo measures of radicalism will cease to have terrors, for the peoplo will have taken tho matter of sustaining thc President into their own hands, and woe betide thoso who resist thom. Tho " New York World," says : Let the news which we print this morning be the signal fo rejoicing all over thc country, and lot it inspire all true men everywhere with a fresh confidence in the sober, second thought of the American people, which thanks to nu overruling Providence, never yet. has failed to resume its away over temporary passions, how ever strong they may have been. The clouds were rifted last spring when radicalism was beaten in Connecticut. Tho beaven grew brighter when wc heard of the Democratic victory in California, nnd now the sky is clear. Patriots everywhere thank God aud take courage. Tho " New York Herald," in its comments, say* : Unequivocal protest against the oontinned ? rule of the radical party anywhere, or for any purpose, seems to be the substance of the de cision given at the polls \esterday in Pennsyl vania and Ohio. Tn Ohio, the great Repub lican party is, like Dogberry, " ono thnt hath had losses," and heavy losses, too; while the chosen measnre of the radicals--dbe amend ment to thc State Constitution giving suffrage to the negroes-is certainly lost. Ohio will have no moro of thc party that impudently raises its nigger supremacy policy to the dig nity of tho " main question." Such is the clear declaration of her people. The def a" of the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio-a sound Union soldier, whose war rec ord wasyelied upon to rally all the strengt)) of bis party-shows how completo is the change of popular sentiment, and give the strongest expression to thc purpose of the people to withdraw their support from the pol itical organization tint has abused such grand opportunities. Ohio declares against giving too suffrage to niggers, and if this oardinal noinK of r...i: -"...o uoen enr ried anywhere, it was in thnt State. This re sult, theroforo, shows how just wcro the fears of our own radicals in keeping this pet meas ure out of the roach of the people, ?y Rurk ing tho Constitution formed hy tho radical convention. Philadelphia is completely swept by tho elements adverse to thc radicals, and the ro suit throughout tho State of Pennsylvania shows as olear a -rising of tho people against party and radicalism as tho sesult in Ohio. ggf Ex-President Franklin Pierce was florenaded ot Concord, N. H., on Wednesday night, nnd said : " I warn you, my friends, to noto tho fact, that these triumphs, whatev er they may be, are no party triumphs. Tho p.ipplo havo risen in their majesty, with a donsoio'isness of their power, and disregarding party lines and party aspirations, havo been silently considering what belongs to them, t-hoir children and their country. I think tho great buttlo has boen fought and won. If thc results are significant in nothing olso, they ?rd In this, that the white raeo-our race the German, Italian, Fronoh, Irish, Scotch nod Apglo.3a*on people, aro still to bo the controlling, power on thia continent." jfgjr Tho oldest registered voter in Jack son County,.Miss., is a negro 106 year? old, ' , .. : " ''MC. -.? ? i ri RO$T.

Tho particulars, ns wo have boon able to gather thom, aro us follows : At tho placo and timo ai$vo men tioned, a Union League and debating society were in scssiou, both proceedingijty&tly with tboir respective designs, until a w?ito' mun under tho inlluenoo of liquor, nanum SMITH, and disconnected with each of thet? bodies, proceeded in tho direction of tho Lotguo, and fired his pistol. Proceeding oti, lib encoun tered sentinels stationed by tho Joaguo to keep oil'intruders. Hero tho real (difficulty commenced. When pressed, SM^'B retreat ed in tho direction of tho debating society, followed by negroes.. In tho oonfusW?i which prevailed, a son of Col. M. R. HlfjlNlcUTT, aged about liftoen years, was shot in^fcjio nock, according to the evidence*before tl?O/Coroner, by a negro, and expired soon after, ' Some of tho members of tho debating society escaped, but others defended themselves until over powered. The negroes, it seems, bbcouio in furiated, and their conduct on Saturday night and thc Sabbath following, was outrageous in thc extreme-using violent, irtdfcniinntory language-taking thclawintotheirOv?" hands, by searching houses, detaining p4^?ns, and making arrests. Col. SMITH, commandant of tho post at An derson, when informed of theso ocourrebces, promptly repaired to thc spot, and Used his authority aud influence in restoring order. The Coroner, W. J. GANTT, Esq*.with his jury of inquest, were for several days engaged in investigating this matter, but bake not yet filed their verdict. ** This is a deplorable ti fia ir. Wo hilve given such facts as wc could obtain, withoutaiiy dis position to prejudge, or shield niiyjcne. lt would have comported more with bur?ense of propriety to have deferred this publication until after the finding of thc Corqner'siuquesj had been announced, but such is t|je condi tion of thc public mind, that wo feel warran ted in departing from ? safe rule. " More unsafe is it perhaps to comment on an occurrence, thc moving causes of which are so little known. Rut we cannot forbear to characterise with harshness tho reprehensible practices of carrying away from homo fire arms and indulging in the free uscjd',. liquor. This horrid afluir is apparently "TraceJilo to these, causes. Wc have insisted that tho mil itary authorities should enforce tho order pro hibiting the too free use of fire arms, and ive now call on them to disarm the country and ! close up the liquor shops. Witj uti this, in our opinion, the peace of tho country cannot be preserved. We do not insist that the pen plc shall preparo, on thc heels of this event, to 'defend their homes and fireside^..' Pre paration is a part of war. On thc contrary, we exhort every one to be peaceable and law a biding. Support with firmness tho law and its officers, for, if these cannot preserve peace and good order, hope has departed from us. In conclusion, as this affair is one peculiar ly affecting us at this lime, we suggest that the military take it in charge, nod give it, hy military commission,!! thorough investigation.

Tho prioo of cotton, with no prospoot of its hoing bettor iu tho futuro, is vory properly hauling tho minds of tho Southern people to inriuiro into tho feasibility of diversifying their crops and pursuits.

This should not bo. Small grain is produced with loss labor than almost any other orop, hence its adaptedness to thc present system of labor. Wheat has beeu an uncertain orup in this section, but there is no good reason why it should bo. Fin? whoat is produced in thc mountains of North Caro lina. Is there any good reason why it cannot bvi successfully grown herc? Wc think not. Wc hope our fanners will preparo their land well, and continue to tri/ Success will fol low ere long.

True, we have no manufactories here ; but, if the leaf is grown in su?ieiont quantities, manufacturing will follow as a ncc cssnry comsequence. Result of the Elections.

WASHINGTON, 15.-Tho ? New York Herald," contains tho following analysis of thc Ohio election : At tho election for Con gressmen in Ohio last year, the Republicans carried 10 out of tho li) districts in the State. At the election, on thc 8th instant, thc Dem ocrats carried twelve out of the nineteen dis tricts, and came within 100 of carrying two or three others. In every Republican dis trict thc majorities arc cut down immcnselcy. I nthe seventh district, which gave Hon. Sam uel ShclhibcVgcr 2,171 majority last year, the radicals escaped with bare ninety live majori ty at the recent election ; while in the eighth district .tho majority was reduced from 1.850 to Sixty-two: In tho second district, tu? rad? ?eal candidates . x.e.-i.A ?- >j vntis-vjon. Carey, his successful opponent, although personally in favor of negro suffrage, is opposed to forcing if upon any State, ami pledged himself to the Democrats to eppose any measures looking to the passage of a bill by Congress enfranchising thc blacks, oil hel io the North or South. Ile may, therefore, be regarded ns an opponent of the Congres sional plan of reconstruction. Tho last sig? iiiiicant feature about these districts is the revolution in the tenth. This district is rep resented by Mr. J. H. Ashley, thc member of Congress who brought in articles of impeach meint against the President. As will be seen, thc Republican loss is 2,011-giving the Democrats a majority of 121 in thc district, j A despatch from Harrisburg says Shares wood's majority is 711. Tho Republicans have fifteen majority on joint ballot. The Democrats gain ttiree State Senators in Iowa, and 10,000 votes. Thc Republicans majority is 20,000. Ki?HMONl), October 12.-General Ttnlm ilen ls exciting some interest. Ho applied for permission to register, under the I*rosi. aleut's Inst amnesty proclamation, upon tak ing an oath to support the constitution, but was rejected. Ile now intends to apply to the United States District Court for a writ of ?ia i ula m us to compel tho registering officer to register his name. In ease the Court refuses to grant the writ, he will appeal to the Su preme Court of tho United Stales, ami thus test the validity of the oath required by the Reconstruction Act and demonstrate what vir tue there is in the pardon accorded by the President to the excluded class. AucusTA. October 12.-A duo! was fought near hore this evening, between Colonel U Y Farrow, of Atlanta, and Major O'Connor, of Rome. After the first exchange of shots, the mutter was settled. The difficulty grew out of a newspaper article. Thc earnings of the California Central Pa cific ilai|r?ad for September were 8100.000 in gold, and its operating expenses $288,702, leaving a pot profit of $101.2o8 This was with tim track open for business to thc sum mit of the Sierra Novada.

Door Sir : Tn answer to your inquiry, "What cii'eet lite success of the President s views will have on the national securities," 1 nm of opinion that its oiled would bo very in jurious. The President eon tends that the body ol' mon neting us Congress has no constitutional pow ors, and can do no valid nets in (he ab seiiee of thc excluded States. Thc Congress es thal authorized the war debt and laid the internal duties to pay it vvoro composed of pre cisely the. same number of representatives, from the same Stales ns the present. If il should bo decided that those. Congresses had no constitutional existence, the live-twenties, teutonics, seven-thirties and the letra I lender greenbacks will have been issued without au tlinnfy. and will be worthless. Whether they would ever bc redeemed j would depend on what tho President would consider a constitutional Congress, after the admission of thc rebel representatives, when the condition of thc debts of both belligerents would be considered.
