The election for State officers in gflr Pennsylvania and Ohio have resulted C0l in favor of the Radicals by diminish- ocr ed majorities. old The Cuba. inegmw people w vvmntngion appear, from the accounts in the papers, * to be quite elated by the prcseneo of ^ the Cuba's officers among them?in fact, I.- tfaey are having a high old time ; the \\ aheen of their uniforms takes well with J the fair ones. From all accounts the officers have been entirely at their ease, an not fearing any other than a favorable ou< . - issue from the ordeal before them. The all .. impression is entertained by maDy that enl - the Cuba was run into Wilmington by ed her commander that she might be seized, pot If such was the case, the intent is not rig ' - ! O n altogether obvious?it may have been rec ' with the view to make a case with the to government. The Cubans in New York ' c appear to be in the dark for the why a?a j. and wherefore that induced the Captain . tq run her into a United States port, when they expected her to be cruising a in the neighborhood of their own coast, elc It is held by some of the best lawyers CUI at the North that it is impossible to find atc * no* v. a precedent to justify the case of the S(^ Cuba. Perhaps the following account div of the Sumter, may be somewhat a case for in point: . O *v* . n) c Shortly after the SumUr got afloat, ag she found it necessary to use the facili- tor ties of a port, and went into Cienfuegos, cai Cuba, where she laid some time with t'n . her prizes, coaled and procured whatev- yc| er she wanted. Scrnmes requested of the governor, that his prizes should be va] ~ held for the Confederate government, nic Among them was the bark Joseph Max- ky well, of Philadelphia, on her way from ^ . Laguayra with a cargo of coffee. The prc officers visited freely in the town, and ge( were quite hospitably entertained, re- tin eeiving the attentions of all classes of Ai people.

Our sanctimonious felt-citizens in New England have soundthe tocsie of alarm on the subject of olie labor in the South. Their pronsity for intermeddling in the affairs others is bound to show itself. Gen. M.

In a cnt letter he speaks thus in relutiou tho colored "man and brother:" 'Push woman suffrage at the North 1 linst all obstacles and oppositions, ' ring nothing, sacred or profane, that 1 i in your way.

Th" usual "fall trade," however, is commencing briskly enough. Couo iry merchants seem to have found out it last that they can procure nil of their .roods in Charleston us cheaply, us safely and in a shorftr time than they can hi New York or any other northern market. There is more safety buying here because the reputation for honesty ?nd fair dealing has been sustained by Dur merchants as it was of old. In spite of the corruption with which otn cuuntry is made putrid by the eruption with northern locusts?in spite of the false doctrine preached by these filthy carpet-bagger, disseminated by his pitiful "Hctilawag" brother and practiced jointly with thcui by the uiisgu ded tiei^ro. In spite of the great variety of fraud and deceit practised ?>r connived at by the Governor, General Scott and his worthy friend and co adjutor, the man af many offices and no principle.?in spite of the universal spread of every kind of abortion in morals, flowing in ' jnc nauseous stream from the gieat ' northern gulf of pollution und threat- 1 cning a worse fate than that offered by 1 the dreaded "tidal wave,"?-in spite of ill this, the high credit, integrity and honor of Charleston merchants has been maintained. It w<?uld be well for the country merchant, to note this; let him . come here and deal with Inmost men. ] rather than go into a communitv. where f every sharp practice is only considered ( us part of the legitimate "tricks of the | trade" and honesty as anything but the , best policy?unless it happons to pay | best. j It is hoped that the increased facility ( here will be an additional inducement < to our friends in the country to conic < and see us and make their purchases | with us. No doubt rumors of the great < attraction of the "Metropolitan Tliea- i trc" here have reached you. We can i recommend the performance to all who i are fond of fun and laughter, or who are < romantic enough to prefer the touches | of pathos and high flown sentiment.? 1 This week the "world renowned," (we i have it upon the authority of innutnera- i hie flaming placards) "Sniff and (jay- [ lord's Ethiopian minstrels" with feelings ! of the purest philanthropy w:ll exert all i their powers in order io better our con- 1 diiion by making us " laugh and grow i fat " The new opera house is almost i finished and will he opened on the 1st 11 of November for the performance of a i 6rst rate Troupe.

But let us cense thinking for awhile and find enjoyment while" i wc may. We all can for a c.tuple of i hours forget in tnc excitement of an i Opera or some other popular en ertainim-nt, our cares, and laugh with the merriest. So let us pooket our troubles *or the nonce ; cry "vi've fa bat/a telle!' mil-?walk into Skiff and Gaylord's. But to return to cotton, it is though Dy some merchants here that prices wil 1'all still lower, and if the opiniou o (peculators is worth anything, it wouh ?e advisable for planters to think twic before they decide to hoi J on for high :r prices, until perhaps their nocessitic may compel them to ta'ke o ntncfh lowe price tlian the one offered at present ? At all events, "25 cents will puy th planter, or even 23 or 24 cents, am that can be go' now. It is always bet ter for the producer to taken price tha wHl pay him for his labor and ennbl him to realize a fair percentage -uboi his investment, and lea-cit to thcapec ulator to watch tho fluctuations of th the market.
