The accoun m Indiana are contradictory. A @eepatch ir neinnati gives the democrats five shourand » jority in seventy-three of the ninety-one counties, while reports from Indianapolis say that the repudican nominee for Goveraor is elected. Five of the eleven members of Congress are con- ceded to the republicans. In Obio, thirteen republican and five democratic Congressmen have yeen certainly elected. The Whree remaining districts have without doub: chosen republicans. The schooner Walter Cummings, from Sayrna, Del., sound for this port, with a cargo of wheat, was totally lost on Long Beach Quring the gale on Duerday. The crew were saved. President Pierce reached Washington yesterday. ‘There was a grand demonstration of the suppor ters of Fremont in the river counties made at Poughkeepsie yesterday. The weather was propi- theus, and the atiendance very large. Our reporters estimate the number present et from twelve to fifteen thousand, with # iarge admixture of the fair vex. There wes no end to the music, banners, flags and other usua! accompaniments. Unlike the demo- erativ celebration at the same place two weeks be- fore, it was a fone fide mass meeting of the people of the river counties—not a meeting of New Yorkers mmported up there. The people were addresed from the principal stand by Sesator Wilson, of Mas- sachusetta, end fram the several other stands by ex-Governor Ford, of Ohio; Joe Blunt, of New York, and others. The rumor of a concerted mesting of Southern Sovttfions a Raleigh, North Carolina, is paztially eonfirmed. Gov. Wise, of Virginia, and Gov. Adama, ef South Carolina, were in that city on the 15th inst., and Gov. Johnston, ot Georgia, and others were ex- pected. The Raleigh Register says they came there for te ostensible purpose of attending the State Pair, but f* apprehensive that they meet to concoct wome treasona le schemes against the stability of the Union. The good people of Petersburg, Virginia, have been aw‘ully shaken up. It appears that a Fremont pele snd banner were put up in that patriotic town yecently, whereupon the Mayor straightway ordered out the military, convened the Council, and an order was pasred to have the offensive pole cat down forth- witb, all of which was executed with dne parade and gravity. It turns ont, however, that the pole was put ap by some woes by way of a joke. ‘The straight whigs met last evening at Constite tion Hall, and endorsed the Know Nothing city ticket. Gereral Walbridge made a strong address to his Bighth ward constituents last night, as will be seen by the report given elsewhere. ‘The testimony adduced yesterday in the case peneing between Mr. Hamilton and the Nicaragua ‘Transit Company was of more than ordimary inte rest. Mr. Jos. L. White gave an interesting history of the affairs of the republic of Nicaragua, and stat d that the Accessory Company recognized Ri- vas as (he only President of that country, and look- od npon General Walker as a rebel. The report is well worth reading. New atd important revelations came to light yes- terdey respecting the alleged forgeries of Charles B. Hontington, the Wall street note broker. Henry H. Barry, check clerk in the Artisans’ Bank, anda brother-in-law of Huntington, was arrested and held ‘vo bail for his appearance asa witness against the accused. Barry testifies to having filled up a nom: ber of the forged notes by the direction of Hanting- won. ‘The citizens of Weston, Mo., recently held a public meeting, and notified the notorious Stringfellow to Jeave the country forever, allowing bim five days to wettic ap his affairs. ‘The cotton market yesterday continued firm, with sales of about $00 a 900 bales, at fall prices. Flour was Giim at the previous day's quotations, though something lore active. Wheat was again active, and abou’ 2c. at Se. dearer. Corn was also active, and firm at 69. a 700. to arrive and om the spot. ‘There was @ movement in pork, with sales ef 2,000 a 2,200 bhis., including mess, at $21 75.0 $22, and prime at $18 600 #18 75. Bagare were im good de- mand, and prices firm, with sales of about 1,600 Bhds. Cuba muscovado at full rates. Coffee wns in fair request at steady prices. Freights were rather easier for grain to English ports, with a fair emount of engagements. To the Continent rates avere nnebanged. ‘We have files from Bermuda to the 30th alt., but the popers do not contain any local news. The Royal Gazette says —" Much rain fell during the past week. On Friday night we bad a perfect delnge for nearly an hoar; it did not fall in drops sed down in heavy streams. The wind, the tous evening, went the entire circuit of the in the west. On Saturday morniog the atmosphere became clear, since which we bave had delightfal weather, with wind from west round north to northeast.” Weights to the Party. The popularity of the Fremont movement among the solid, sensible and Union loving masses of the people, has in no case been so strikingly ilhstrated as in the late Pennsylvania election. Between the corrupt and demoralized disunion democracy, and the clear constitutional and con- servative position of Col. Fremont before the country, a large majority of the conservative Pennsylvania people are undoubtedly with Fre- mont, whatever may be the exact summing up of the late contest. In fact, considering the nume- rous and heavy disadvantages against which the opposition forces have had to contend, the solid vote which they have cast is really wonderful. We have no doubt now, from what we have seen, that if the Fremont party, instead of com- plicating their canse and their candidate with the rump of Know Nothingism and the peddling tricksters of the Fillmore faction, had presented themselves before the people of Pennsylvania upon a clean issue, as between Fremont and Bu- chanan, that, instead of a lean and contested popular majority, they would have carried the State by thirty or forty thousand. The few huck- steriug Know Nothings which they might have lost would have been amply compensated for in larger accessions from the old fashioned democra- ey. As the case stands, the spontaneous strengthof the Fremont cause has had to contend, not only with the whole power of the alarmed and despe- rate spoils democracy, but against pitifal treach- eries and stupid devices of various sorts in the opposition camps. We have reason to suspoct that some of the Fillmore managers did their best to betray the people and to sell out the State to Buchonan—that the Central Republican Commit- tee in Philadelphia have been, tosome extent, the dupes of these designing Fillmore traders; and yet we see that against the stupidity and igno- rancé on the part of some of the opposition ma- nagers, and in spite of a deep and treacherous plot on the part of others, the incorruptible masses of the opposition, whatever may be the exact result, have covered themselves with glory. In this connection, we are sorry to say that we can see nothing to commend in the co-operative labors of Thurlow Weed D, Morgan and the republican managing committee of this city, as far as they have been brought to light. The heavy opposition vote of the back counties of Pennsylvania, where Fillmore and his Know Nothingism were out of the way, is highly signiti- cant of the great secret of the strength of the op- position party: while, on ihe other hand, the strength of the democrats in those localities where Fillmoreism was relied npon to defeat them, shows as clearly the enfeebling influences of this defanct clement of Know Nothiogism. We believe that, upon a fair and square contest between Fremont and Buchanan in the cily and county of Philadelphia, there would be a large majority realized to the former, where there is now a democratic majority; for while, if Fillmore were out of the way, his trading spoilsmen would sell out for a son Buchanan, the bulk of the Fillmore party would rally te Fremont, from their b convictions of the justice of bis cause, against the despotic policy of the nigger-driving and secession de- mocracy. And so of other places, citles, counties and States, A more unscrupulous horde of hangry blood- suckers, we dare say, never existed in any party, or in any country, than ihe horde composed of the leaders, managers and hucksters of the Know Nothing Fillmore camp.+ They use him as a decoy duck, or stool pigeon for the lame ducks of the spoils democracy in every Northera State. We understand that a democratic fund of some $500.000 was employed in the late Pennsylvania campaign—some of it taken from the public treasury—a large portion extorted from the poor office holders at Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, under threats of expulsion; and another large portion contributed from the house of the Rothschilds, by Belmont & Co, the favorite financicrs of Pierce and Buchanan, Agent this sam of £300,000, we understand that there was sent into Pennsylvania, from thie city and clsewhere, an aggregate of about $100,000, of the disbursement of which we should like to sce some satisfactory report, es pecially from the Fillmore disbursing agents in Pennsylvania, We learn that some $20,000 of this money was to be applied to the enbsistence of various poor newspaper editors in the interior of the State; but that, while *2,000 of the fund were appropriated to this useful purpose, the remaining £1¥,000 were probably divided among the confederate agents of the distribution. All these things 20 to ehow that there ix no- thing bat treachery in any coalition with these Fillmore traitors and lucksters in the votes cf their deluded followers ; and that in Penneylvs- nia,as in New York and the New England States, and in Ohio and the West, these Fillmore mana- gers are willing to sell themselves to Buchanan at less than cost. In the face of positive affide- vits and other proofs to this effect, we see thata Wall street cotemporary is pleading earnestly for 4 Prcsidential fusion between the Fremont party and the Filimoreites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We hope there will be no such thing. A clean Fremont ticket bas carried Maine, Vermont Connecticut, lowa, and it has also carried Ohio and Indiana, too, as we believe, againet demo. crates and Fillmore diversions, and the same thing can be done in every other Northern State. The bulk of the late Kuow Nothing party understand what is going on, and are entirely prepared to show that, though they may be sold, they are not to be transferred from the real issues of the im- pending battle. They know that the figlt is be- tween Fremont and Buchanan, and they have too lately revolivd against the atrecities of Pierce and the nigger driving democracy to be easily deecived as to the rral designs of the Fillmore speculators, We are informed that Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Fry, of the Union Ph ‘a Committee, were so very fearful of offending the dclicaté sensibilities of the Fillmore intriguers of Pennsylvania, that they proscribed the New York Fremont press, as far as possible, from circulating among the Penn- tylvania people; and that a sharp eye of vigilance was aleo directed against all Fremont speakers from New York, lest they too should give offenec to the slippery Fillmore Kaow Nothi Such are come of the disadvantages against which opposition had to sirvggte in the late Penneyiva nia canvass, The result in favor of the Fremont movement, against a powerfal, united and despe- rate enemy, against stupid commitiecs and trea cherous «poilsmen, and with this dead weight of the dead bedy of Know Nothingiem upon it back, proves the irresietible strength of the Mre- mont cause with the people, over all obstructions nd impediments A clean Fremont movement, therefore, and a ¢ an Fremont ticket, is the tr forces of Pennsylvania ¢ ja the Union policy for ti and every oth NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1856. ‘whe ania Election—The Pepularity | The Groat Mystery at the ie Pemmayte pect -f, gael Pryor, or tap Ricuvono Exqumen, Dexo-| THE LATEST NEWS. ‘We have been laboring since Max Maretzck’s grand voup qd’ tot and splendid oratorical effort at the Academy of Music, two or three weeks ago, to penetrate the mystery which seemed “to en- velope the interesting establishment on the cor- nerof Fourteenth street and Union place. Moved almost to tears by the sorrow of the young ladies in the first circles, who cannot prove their devotion to art by the display of their new dresses—-profoundly affected by the stagnation in the trade in opera cloaks, bouquets and white kid gloves, we have labored like Hercules to purify the operatic atmosphere and set the con- cern on its legs again. Our efforts have not yet been crowned with entire success, but we think we have discovered the snag upon which the in- stitution has struck. Listen:— The Academy has cost a great deal of money, too much, perhaps, ever to be a profitable in- vestment. Here is the account of its cost :— Received for abares,, $192,000 Borrowed of Mutua! Tn: 100,00 Raigea by second mertga, 40,006 Floating debt........... ++ 20,000 Mr. James Palen gave the building its first start, by advancing sixty-two thousand dollars in the lots of land upon whieh it is erected. He also subscribed for five shares of the stock. He. with Mr. Henry A. Coit, forms the terrible Ex- eeutive Committee that we hear so much about— Mr. Phalen being the First Consul of the Opera, and Mr. Coit the second. They regulate all the financial affairs of the concern, and they now hold this second mortgage of forty thousand dollars, the payment of which is demanded under pain of foreclosure, and resisted by a majority of the stockholders, If this second mortgage is not paid the holders threaten to foreclose and sell the house at a sacrifice. That is the snag. There is the sticking place. The First Consul and the Second Consul had a sort of tea party meeting of the stockholders at the Academy, on Wednesday, which sat with doors hermetically closed, and was altogether as mysterious, as dark, and as carefully concealed as a consultation among the bulls and bears of Wall street when they are plotting somes grand railway scheme. Thys much we know, however, that the Academy has got to be a regular stock jobbing con- cern. Just think of it. Art and the stock exchange! Bulls and prima donnas! Bassos ‘and bears! Tenors and transfer books! It is porrid, but too true, we fear, On one side we Jind the First Consu), Phalen, with the Second Con- sul, Coit, and their party, anxious to sell out the house at a sacrifice; they are the bears, On the other side, we find the Chevalier Maretzek brave- ly leading on a part of the stockholders who are anxious to save the property from sacrifice; -they are the bulls. It is exactly like some of the raiway speculations by which so many verdant Awdividuals have been bitten. A certain number of sbares are taken and the money paid in, At ter a while it is found that there is not money enough to complete the work, when loans are ef- fected, and finally two or three smart operators get the property away from the original share- holders, without giving them a show for their money. So there is a great fight going on at the Academy between the bears, led by First Consul Phalen, and the bulls, under the invincible Laon of the indomitable Chevalier Maretzek, Mean- while the Chevalier has gone to Boston, and the whole affair is yet enveloped in mystery, so far as the result of this charming imbroglio is con- cerned. We are sorry that even our amusements cannot be kept free from the taint of Wall street. We regret that the spotless robe of art, in one of its highest forms, must be soiled by the dirty flogers of small stock jobbers. We are sorry for the dry goods trade—we mourn for the people who sell opera cloaks—we sympathize with the young la- dies who are bored to death for somewhere to go. The loss to the great bazaars in Broa way is something startling. During the last eight or nine years, probably a million of dollars has been spent ju gloabs, gloves, bouquets, lorgnettes, and other feminine operatic paraphernalia, all of which bas been called out by the Chevalier Ma- retzek’s magic befon. He has nothing bat Pa- nurge’s fortune, “a splendid inheritance of debte”” Why should not the dealers in opera cloake, and ¢o forth, get up a eplendid reception for Maretzek after the fashion of the Peabody demonstrations? There is a most magnificent opportunity for what our Western cotemporaries would call a tremendous splurge. Javrs Buewanan at Howr.—It is made plain by the news from Penneylvania, given cleewhere, that the Buchanan democracy have been beaten in Mr. Buchanan’s own town by four to five hun- dred majority, and in the county by three to four thousand. This shows a wonderful want of popularity in the nominee of the border raffian democracy. The people of Lancaster county and towns are reapectable and intelligent; men of logical minds and reasoning habits. They have known Mr. Buchanan for thirty or forty years; and with all their knowledge of him, both perronal and political, they now declare solemn- ly at the polls thet he is not their choice. This is @ most singular fact; it indidates that Mr. Bu- chanan has in his own State and his owa neigh- bothood no personal or political popularity. What can be the reason of this? Mr. Buchanan is generally considered to be a gentleman of un- impeachable character, a statesman of fair at- tainments, and a man who has discharged with the utimost fidelity all his duties to his species, save one—that of becoming a husband and a ta- ther. We are driven to the conclusion that Mr. Buchanan does not enjoy the good will of the people of Lancaster, simply from the same rea- son which has kept hima bachelor—his utter wart of human sympathy; he has made no friends for the rame reason that he has bad no wife and no children to cheer his old age. This is no doubt the cance of bis contemptuous rejection by the people of Lancaster; it will operate elso- where ae well. Carat Frewoxt Mevrive at tHe Acaveny or Moesic.—There will be a great turnout at the Academy of Music, this evening, in favor of Fro- mont for President. We eee that George Law, Mr. Speaker Banke, Senator Wilson and Mr. Chouneey Shaffer, are announced as speakers on that eceasion. George Law's name is printed on the bills in great scarlet letters, so we pro- ime he is the star of the occasion. We learn that ex-Senator Westcott, ‘of Florida, has been or the past three weeks busily at work prepar- @ a speech for George, which will no doubt be sharp, racy and to the point, provided it ix pro perly delivered, with all the emy nthe right p'wces, and the periods well turned. Live Oak Gear is a great man in contract tailwaye and steam; but in polities and public speaking ho mye! lake care, or be will buret his boiler, usnep.—The public will find in another colamn aremarkable demolition of the fighting editor of the Richmond Enquirer, Mr. Roger A. Pryor, by the Hon. John M. Botts, of Virginia. It will be remembered that ever since John M. Botts had the courage and the manliness to oppose the wild fanaticism of Governor Wise and the Southern disunionists, the Richmond Enquirer has abused him with a malignity without example. With re- markable good sense and good taste, Mr. Botts never noticed the ravings of his assailant, and let the Znquirer call him all the coarse names in the dictionary without once affecting to know of itsexistence. His son, however, a young man of more choler than judgment, challenged Pryor, and, though so ill as hardly to be able to stand up, would probably have punished him for his insolence, but for the interference of the police— set on, no doubt, by some friend of the editor of the Enquirer. The next step in this affair was, wonderful to relate, a challenge from Pryor to Botts! The only ground for a challenge waa, of course, that Botts had insulted Pryor by taking no no- tice of the scurrilous trash the latter published about Botts in his paper. We congratulate so- ciety on the reply of Mr. Botts. Had that gen- tleman consented to indulge Mr. Pryor with a shot, it would have become a settled doctrine in Virginia, at least, ihat if a person who was at- tacked in the press made no reply, he was liable to a challenge from the editor whom he thus con- temned. We forbear from following out the consequences of this doctrine. Hitherto, it has been considered hard enough for a man to be at- tacked by a newspaper, and denied a reply in the sanie columns; but what will the public say if'we can not only pitch into whomsocver we please, but shoot any body who declines to reply? These Southern democrats are giving us a new code of ethics with a vengeance. Tur Srrvation iy Naries.—The Emperor of Russia has filed a protest against the interference of France and England in the affairs of Naples. The ground taken is simply that the maritime powers have no more right to mix in the polities of Italy than Russia had to mix in the affairs of Turkey. There is onedifference between the two cases, Noone charges France or England with designs of territorial aggrandizement in Italy, while Russia unequivocally aimed at cutting fur- ther slices from Turkey when the late war broke out. Setting aside this point, the argament of the Russian State department appears to be strictly logical; and a fair case made out against the courts of England and France. It seems quite likely, however, that the trouble which every one foresees must arise from this Neapolitan question will break out between Eng- land and France rather than between Russia and the maritime Powers. Reduced to plain words, the dispute between the latter ond Naples turns on the right of the King of Naples to exercise an absolute tyrannical sway over his subjects, the maritime Powers holding the negative of the question. Now it may be well enough for France to begin a negotiation on this footing, and allow herself to be led in leash by England; but the moment Russia or Austria interferes to compel a full and open discussion of the subject, it will be impossible for the Emperor of the French to ustify his sending an expedition to Naples to prevent King Bomba doing there the very thing Louis Napoleon is doing at home. The inoment things reach this point a separation from England becomes a necessity; indeed, the chances are that the French Emperor will not walt so long to draw off from his late ally. There are many signs in the horizon which look like an Anglo- French war. Both armies have relapsed into peace, hating each other more flercely than ever. Stateemen in cach country accuse the neighboring court of undue influence, unfair appropriation of glory. The English know that the late peace was concluded to suit the French. Louis Napo- leon knows that without a war, France will be bankrupt in less than twelve months. The fa- ture looks very gloomy indeed. Senaron Wison ox New Yor Powrrics.— The distinguished Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Wilson, in his stumping pilgrimage to this and other States, has sometimes expressed optn- ions on New York politics which are not strictly parliamentary or logical. During his recent visit here, he was, we understand, profuse in his disapprobation of the course of the New York Heratp, in consequence of our opposition to Jobn A. King, as the so-called republican candi- date for Governor. Senator Wilson would be mych more creditably and profitably engaged, were he to attend to the affairs of his own State and the general canvass, instead of expressing ignorant and impertinent opinions on the course of this journal. The nomination of John A. King, under the malign influence of Thurlow Weed, was one of the most serious mistakes yet made by the supporters of Fremont. The un- popularity of King, of all connected with the Kings, of the blood of the Kings, among the democracy of this State, has been too well knowa to be questioned or doubted by any one. The very name of King, coupled with the silly and ridiculons speech he made at his nom!nation, would have been sufficient to distract thousands of old democrats who were favorable to Fremont, but who never could have swallowed King, in any company whatever, Hence, on seeing the extreme blunder of the republicans, committed under the malign influence of Thurlow Weed, and the insult offered to two of the principal editors of this city, who were more instrumental in laboring for the success of Fremont than all the Sewards and Weeds and their friends combined. we saw at once the necessity of separating the unpopular, silly and foolish nomination of John A. King from the popular and powerful candi- date presented in the person of Col. Fremont. We are more and more convinced of the pro- priety of our policy, and that opposition to King and some other ridicntous nominations made by the same party in this city, is the only true conrae to be pureued by those who really wish to see Fremont elected to the Presidency.

The work has beon done by Mr. 1. J. Conway, and it seoma more carefully and cSectivey performed than the other adaptations that we have seen. It ts rather too beavily soloed with ultra abolition harangues, which, to oor thinking, are out of place im the theatre. It was carefully acted, and was quite successful, One of the priacipal features was the performance of “Tom Tit,” by the dwarf, Tom Thumb. The little fellow was exceeding'y amusing. Mr. Clarke made an exce’lent Jarry, and Mr. Lingard’s Til was eaty, vatural and artistic, quite the best thiog of the night.
