Arkangas will choose & Governor and two members of Congress, The democrate seem to be united upon Richard ‘H. Johnson ag their candidate for the executive chair, againat Henry M. Rector, who is also a democrat, runaing without any regular nomination, and who, although he does not represent the opposition party, will nevertheless ‘be supported by the Bell and Everett men. Hon, Thomas C. Hindman has the democratic nomination for re-election to Congress im the First district, without any organized opposition against him. kdward W. Gantt is the demo- cratic nominee in the Second district, to take the place of How, Albert Rust, who has recently rendered himeelf somewhat obnoxious to the main body of the democrats. An opposition candidate named Dr. Mitchell is also run- ning in the Second district. Al) the democratic regularly nominated candidates wil! unquestionably be elected. ‘The only State officer to be chosen in Kentucky is Clerk. of the Court of Appeals, for which office there are three candidates. The lines have been distinctly drawn be- tween the Breckinridge and Douglas factions, and both wings have their candidates, upon whom the strength of each party will be exhibited, Clinton McClarty is the Tegular democratic nominee on the Breckinridge side; R. R. Bolling is put forward by the Douglas branch, aud Leslie Coombs is the candidate of the Bell party.

Blair, Jr., black republican, has been waged with un- common fury. It will be reeollected that two years ago Mr. Barrett was elected, and took his seat in the House of Representatives at the last session of Congress; but near the close of the session he was sent home by aparty vote Tn 1856 of timt body, and his place given to Mr. Blair. ‘the popular vote for President was as follows: — Buchanan...

In Texas three officers on the State ticket are to be chosen. The Bell-Everett party not having considered themselves sufficiently organized to enter the fleld at this election, the contest i# left between the regular demo. cracy and the Sam Houston party, the latter being sup- ported by the Union men.

In order to show the pro- grees of the revolution that has evidently taken place in that State, we compare our figures with the vote of 1858, when the present democratic candidate, Governor Ellis, was clected by over sixteen thousand mejority:— Dem Oppention 1400" 1,308 ies "560 1 793 660, 2,121 1,008 a0 B is Set, awe 1900 0—(«19T im oS im 1100 Democratic joes in 17 gounties........ If the democratic lose ia in the same ratio in other parte of the State, the election will be very close. ‘The above figures embrace only one-fifth of the entire vote. Mons Omaxces axp Apprrions.—A new, democratic paper is about to be started in Phillipsburg, Warren county, N. J.,"to be styled the Warren Union. It wil support the Breckinridge and Lane ticket. The Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon has hauled down the Douglas fiag, and among its reasons for 80 doing @ays that Dougias “stands not the slightest chance of getting the vote of Alabama.’ Apaper in Virginia, called the Tenth Legion, published in the region going by that name, has hoisted the Brock- imridge flag, though Mr. Douglas, up © thie time, has been the preference of tbe editor. The Augusta (Ga.) Dispatch, heretofore neutral, now goes for Breckinridge and Lane, * Avovmmn Fiac.—The Breckinridge party in Lowell, Mase, have procured a new flag to take the place of the one torn down last week by the “Wide Awnkes.” It was raised on Thursday evening.

He says— Thave mytelf oniformly edyieed our political friends, | without regard to their individual ), © Bus. tain the democratic electoral ticket in the field. | Avy other course, by dividing our |, might defeat | the object which democrat has at heart. No one ‘acquainted with our electors can doubt but that, if elect- ed, they will do whatever intelligence and patriotism may indicate a8 best calculated to advance the interest of the democratic party, and promote the welfare of the country. Fours Disrnict or Mavg.—Ex-Governor Anson P. Mor- rill has received the black republican nomination for Con- gress, in the Fourth district of Maine. Hon. Freeman H. Morse, the present representative, was thrown overboard. Tt is said that the excitement in the Convention ran rather high, and one hundred and twenty-five of the delegates were in favor of: renominating Mr. Morse. ‘A Bap Srum.—It is said that Chang and Eng, the Sia mese twins, differ in politics.

The Gubernatorial Conlest—Past Position of Partics— Onange of the Opposition—The New Local Issue—Ken- neth Raynor Out for Breckinridge, dc. To morrow we go into our election for Governor and members of Assembly. That it will eventuate in the suc- cess of the democratic party I have no doubt, though I am also certain that the opposition will poll a very heavy ‘vote and greatly reduce Ellis’ majority of two years since» which you will remember was over 16,000. The present contest is on purely local issues, of great interest to those immediately concerned, and to none others; issues that have not a particle of national policy in their composition, and whose support, or the contrary, cannot be said to de- pend on apy national partisanship; issues, moreover, Which were made up and determined long before any of the Presidential nominations were made. ‘The opposition in this State is peculiar.

Bat there are thousands who will to morrow vote for Poole, the opposition candidate, that will in November vote for Breckinridge and Lane. AS a proof of this 1 will state tbat Kenneth Raynor, who has long been one of the most prominent leaders of the old whig and Know Nothing organ}zations, has determined to go for the Breckinridge ticket. In this he will be fol lowed by many others, as that ticket ts regarded as the only one on which the South can safely unite, Tent Preac at Central Park.

EXCITEMENT AT FACTORYVILLE—THE OPPOSITION PERRIES—A NEW YORK POLICEMAN IN TROUBLE. | Considerable excitement, yesterday, prevailed among | the residents of the ‘north shore,” in consequence of | the arrest, during the past week, of three of the residents of the island, charged with riotous conduct on the pro- | vJous Sabbath, upon which ocoasion several bundred per ‘sons had assembled to witners the departure of the five and haif-past five o'clock boats of the old and new lines. Tt seams that for a Jong time the ronidents of that @ the island have been dissatisfied with ferry of George Law, and _ their | the matter haa recently aie Wh os tabliehment of an independent ition ferry between this city and that part of the island. The ew company, comprising many prominent residents of the north qi have for several months been running a fine new boat | purchased for the ferry, and far superior te any before | placed wpon any of the ferries of the island, boat, the Flora, has, \t ecema, carried since ee to rut over seventy five per cent of the which fa bas acted very much to the disadvantage of the old line. On the Sunday in question a large number of people, inte- rested in the issue and from curiosity, sssembled as fialed, to wench aucoeee of ihe new boat on the old ine, in stated by Fr ible gentlemen present at the time, that no rictows demonattetions wore mado, thongh on Wednesday throe gentlemen, named Barnes, Felton and one were egress won tbe — wad wits policeman Alexander Thom} this who, with others, was on duty on the Dokt (Staten Islander), charg. ing thern with riotous conduct upon the occ wsion in ques tion, The prisoners were taken before Justice Watson on Friday, when Thompson declared his inability to iden tify Barnes, who, it was found, was at home at the time of the alleged affair, whereapon the latter was honorably diecoarged.

Dramatic Matters. REAPPEARANCE OF EDWIN FORREST, THE AMERICAN TRAGEDIAN. For a long time the public have been most anxious to ascertain whether Mr, Edwin Forrest, the American tra- gedian, had quitted the stage for life, or whether he could be induced to give at least a series of farewell representa- tions, Tho offorts of managers to obtain from Mr. For- rest some declaration of bia intentions have been most unremitting, and have atdast been crowned with success. Mr. Nixon, of Niblo’g Garden, who hag been engaged in many remarkably successful theatrical enterprises, has at length been enabled to effec) an engagement, and Mr. Forrest, almost the only living representative of tragedy, and by far the beet on the American stage, will make his first appearance since his retire- ment at Niblo’s Garden on the 17th of September next, supported »y a carefully selected and fully compe- tent company, including, among others, the fayorite Mr. Charles Fisher, Mr. Forrest's last appearance in this city was at the Broadway theatre, about three years ago, and he gave after that time, we believe, only a few farewell representations in the provinces. His engage ment with Mr. Nixon ie for the term of six months, and he will play, not only at New York, but also at Roaton, Philadelphia, Baltimore .od other, of our principal cities, enacting all of his original, and, we understand, one or two new characters. It is not stated whether this is to be Mr. Forrest’s farewell engagement, but the probabilisies are that New Yorkers will not soon have another opportunity of seeing their favorite actor in his best rdles,* The bare announcement of Mr. Forrest's appearance will doubtless create a sensation rivalling the greatest with which New York hag recently ‘been visited, and Mr, Nixom will undoubtedly achieve a success far surpassing that of any of his former enter- prises, in this his latest, boldest and most popular coup de theatre. From present indications the approaching season: will far surpass in brilliancy any which New York has witnessed for many years. Although the attractions at our principal places of amusement have been but slightly varied during the past fortnight, there »is little or no abatement in the interest manifested by the public, and each of our leading theatres has generally been well filled every night during the past week. At Laura Keeve’s “Our American Cousin” i in full tide of success, and will be continued until further notice. Mr. Jefferson’s managerial carcer bas thus far been deci- ded)y successful, and he will doubtless make an appro- priate finis of the season wilh the popular comedy now on the boards, At Winter Garden the Ravels have been astonishing and delighting large audiences nightly during the past fort- night. To-night will be given, for the first time,the fairy pantomime entitled “Magic Pills.” The Florences commence the seventh week of their summer seaton at Wallack’s to-night, when “Dombey & Son” will be presented for the last time during the sea- son. Those who have not seen Mr. Florence as Captain Edward Cuttle, mariner, should avail themselves of the present opportunity. Mr, and Mrs. Florence will, during the week, appear in several of their favorite characters. At Niblo’s Garden™ Nixzon’s equestrian troupe comes in for its share of public favor. The ‘Fox Hunters’ Jubilee” is announced for to-night, and every night during the week. At the New Bowery theatre Mr. B. Eddy will appear to-night in the thrilling Indian drama, written expressly for Mr. Eddy, entitled “‘Miantinimo, The Last of the Nar- ragansetts.’” The bill algo embraces the Scotch drama of “Wallace,” and a laughable afterpiece. At Barpum’s, in addition to the extensive cabinet of curiosities, several attractive features are announced. Bryants’ Minstrels annowuce a “Grand Gala Opening” to night, and offer an attractive bill. Mr. Samm Cowell has been engaged@t Canterbury Hall, and will make his first appearance to-night. At the National Varieties ‘The Tooales’’ and a small catalogue of other attractions are offered. From the twelfth report of the Dramatic Fund Arsoviation we Jean Mere is due the association from members, most of Whom might casily pay up, the eum of $099 25.

It is stated that Miss Charlotte Cushman, who is now on ‘8 visit €o some friends at West Point, will sucoeed Mr, and My@, Barney Williams at Winter Garden. The Half Century Sermon of the Rev. Dr, Sprin; SERVICES AT THE BRICK CHURCH, IN FIFTH AVENUE. Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of the pastorate of the Rey. Dr. Spring over the congregation which for- merly worshipped in the old Brick Church in Beckman street, in this city, The interest of the occasion, and the name of the distinguished clergyman whose labors it commemorated, called out many in addition to the regu- lar preeent members of Dr. Spring's church, and the pews, aisles and galleries of the spacious edifice at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-eeventh street, to which the congregation bave recently removed, were filled to overflowing with an attentive and sympathizing audience. Byven the lobby of the church was crowded, and many were obliged to leave, unable to obtain even @ standing place. ‘The exercises of the occasion were introduced by the singing of the Thirty-sixth Pralm. An eloquent and impressive prayer was offered by the Rey. Dr. Ferris, Chancellor of the New York University. The fine solo, «The Lord ts mindful of his own,” from Mendelssdbn's “St. Paul," was then sung. ‘Dr. SPRING arose aad announced as the text which be bad chosen, tbe 16th verse of the Sist chapter of Isaiah. 2 H 3 2 i Ey 5 5 4 Master for the good of the raved a fallen world; teil where they may find rest. ee oe favored one I would otill thank that T minister of His word. ‘when compared with the glory of the hamblest minister of the eternal Gospel.

Wales with the Chiefs of the Siz Natio ingus Visilers, de., de. . —— on It ig now four years since an accidental cireumetance brought me to this place. I happened to be at Niagara, and learning that an invalid friend was staying hore 1 took the cars on the Great Western line and in lees than three-quarters of an hour was seated beside him under the piazza of the Stephenson House, I had purposed only remaining a few hours, my condition of health not being such as to require the powerfully stimulating waters of these springs. My first impressions of the place were not calculated to induce me to depart from my resolution. The company were nearly all on crutches, and of young people there were only about half a dozen,and these com- pulsory attendants upon their gouty papas or rheumatic mamas, And yet, notwithstanding this apparent absence of attractions, I found myself at the end of a fortnight dreaming away my time very pleasantly at St. Catha- rine’s. The fact was that it was one of those places which grow upon one insensibly. The climate was deli- cious, the surrounding country picturesque and full of va- riety, and even out of the aillicted elements, to which 1 had to look for society, there was much to be gleaned that was genial and companionable. Since that time St. Catharine’s has altered greatly. From being a mere resort for invalids it has agsumed all the features of an important watering place. Crowds flock from the British provinces for the sake of the socie- ty which it affords, whilst the rapidly increasing reputa- tion of the waters brings invalids from all points of the Union, evea the most remote, St. Catharine's is, in net, growing into the same id of estimation medi men of this continent that Carlsbad occupies in the other hemisphere. And it well deserves this. More patients away benefitted from here than from the pulpwar, fen aa to which American invalids are in the Properties of minerals which !t holds in solution, im; to it at oace the of sea and medicated . Unlike the sulphur * which eneryate and render the patient more sensitive to cold, it fortifies the system against atmospberic influ- ences, whilst it at the same time eliminates from it all morbific sources of irritation, ‘This year the number of visiters exhibite a large in- crease upon last season, which was the best since the ing of ha gee 9 The hotels and boarding houses are all crowded, and still guests continue to in. ‘This is in a great degree to be accounted for by the efforta that are being made to add to the attractions and amuse- ments of the place. The proprictor has wisely arrived at the conclusion that ee besides a mere sanitary reputation is required to place these eprings on & perma- bently prosperous footing. Invalids feel, ag well as other people, the necessity of amusement, and even though they may not be able to participate actively in what ts Foire 00, they take an interest in it as spectators, which \elps to divert their minds from the contemplation of their own ailments. If it be true that half the ills that ‘Jesh is heir to owe their origin to the overtaxing of the brain or to local influences, it is evident that their cure is a8 much to be sought in change of scene and pleasura ble excitement as in medical treatment and the remedial processes supplied by nature through the agency of mine- ral waters. For thié reason the German eprings are ren dered as attractive as possible to invalids, Medical men abroad bestow as much attention on the mental as on the ysical condition of their patients, and this is why, per- ps, the German baths have the reputation of effecting to many more oures than American springs, which have precisely analogous properties.

To the leading physician of thie place, Dr. Mack, credit is due for the efforts that he bas made to assimilate as much as potsible the regime of these springs to the Ger. man system. He is coustantly impressing upon the per- sons interested in the prosperity of the place the neceasi- ty of providing liberally for the amusement and enter- taipment of the visiters. Fully coovinced as he is of the invaluable qualities of the waters, he is too thoronghly accomplished a physician not to fee! that many, if not the majority, of the cases that full under his observation re- quire other treatment than therapeutic agents. To many of those who come here he forbids absolutely the use of the springs, whilst he promises them much from the in- Vigorating atmoephere, the splendid walks and drives, and the freedom from all serious occupation which they can enjoy here 1 must do Col. Stephenson, the proprictor of the Springs, the justice of saying that he ie ever ready to act upon the suggestions made fo him for their improvement. He Cannot, however, go as fast as others would wish him, He has created the place out of very small means, and is now vg * beginning to realize the fruits of his enterprise.
