Lonpon, June 22, 1869, Nations, like individuals, suffer sometimes trom fn excess of prosperity as well as from very great poverty. 1 believe this to be the ease with England at the present time. We have had so very longa season of wealth and ease and absence from all that tries the nerve and tone of a peopie, that we are ut terly unfitted for anything like adversity. We are, and have been for many long years, 80 accustomed to having what we want that we cannot realize to ourselves that any ether people can have the hardl- hood to contradict oy thwart us many way, And, More than ¢his, we have had such along term of comfort and prosperity that we have utterly ne- giected to provide Jor a reversion in our affairs. This is what has caused our present weak- Nese. We are materially as well as morally weak; for, as 1 faye endeavored to show in many of my recent letters, we have really negiccted to provide the nieans of defence stiould an enemy attack us. Here, fs I shall presently point out, is the real reason why the Engtish Ministry is so vacillauing with respect to the American question, What they will do ts not a measure Which can be introduced by one party or the oth Test and try the policy of our govern- ment, whether coaservative or iberal, during the Fuel few montis, with respect to our “dificuity” run your people, and you must come to the coneln- sion that 1 bA7= stdiyed at, and which may be epito- Mized into this one MoM seutences—England cau- not go to war, AS I have shown yout. previous teiters our army Ja barely equal to the police duties of keepfig Ireland n order and performing garrison duty in our various golonics. Our navy, nominally large, has barely a wore of vessels calculated to take part in ‘he warfare of the day and even of these many are mere dummies—ships that go by Ue name of “iron-clads,” but which are utterly unable to resist asingle shot from one of the large guns which are exclusively employed in modera vessels of war. We have a militia, but it isa weak and greatly unoficcred force, with the moat aristo- cratiy of commissioned commanders, and the rougiiest of loafers, the very scum of our large towns, for Its soldiers. We have also our volunteers, bat t would bo, even in the case of a detensive 7 possible, than the niilitia, With means, or rather with such a want of means, 1¢ Would oe utterly impossible for England to act on the offensive against any nation that had either a slunding army of its own or that could call to arms a force tat had been accustomed to war. But this is hot ie Worst, Itis un acknowledged fact among all apr engines oflcers, aiid still more is It the theme aP TiWvarseion amotig those jho know our wants, that England could not defend herself from an enemy @ithout, aud that on the very first appearance of a Nostiie ficet in our waters We should be obiiged to ive in or else to alow our very standing as a nation 0 become @ thing of the past, ‘This may appears very strange assertion, but 10 19 not the iess true. I repeat most emphatically that not only would it be impossible for Lugland to go to war—not only could #he not act on the offensive; but she could not defend her own coasts against anenemy from without. And now, although, perliaps, 1 would be impossible to Agmonstrate the tiuti of what T have sdvanced ‘thin the limits of a newspaper letter, I shall pro- teed to illustrate my plenning in such @ manner as qili leave no doubt on the minds of your readers that Thave written the plain unvarnished trath, without a particle of exagpreration. Let us fora moment sup- pose that the United States was to declare war with Bogland, To begin with, the very first news of such on event ‘would cause the entire collapse or our whole com- mercial sysvem; it would be as if aa inflated blad- der were pricked with a very large pin and all the air aliowed to escape, There would be @ ran upon the bank, and nof only upon one, but all the banks; consol, would fall from 93 to 40; all kinds of securities would not ig be ata di-count, but posi- tvely unsalable, and happy would they be who gould command enough money wherewlth to pur- zhase the bare necessaries of life, This, however, Would be but the beginning of our troubles. It is always in such hypothetical cases well to suppose the worst, and to imagine what could be done under such and such circumstances. You Americans are always prompt to act, and the terrible ordeal of civil War that you haye gone througl has made you not only & mighty and a more powerful people than ever, but it has made you a nation of soldiers. Let us suppose—what would most likely be the case— shat you followed up the declaration of war by an xpedition into English waters, aud that you seat a fayal force to Bugiand. If when the squadron made ils appearance off Tre- land it consisted of five ships, the report would be in London that there were at least ten vessels of war coming to invade us. Let us inagine that there were ten 1ron-clads sent, and that of these one-half remained on the west coust of ingland and made a show of atlacking Bristol and Liverpool, sending ii of less use, the meautime smatl gunboats into ail the minor sea-- ports, such as Newport, Cardif, Swansea, Glouces- ser and the like, but without disembarking a single man. The moment the diarm was raised every ship We could muster and every soldier we could ara Would be sent to the westward. Then would be the moment for the rest of your squadron, of whien four or five vessels would tn double that number of Hours run up the Thames and dictate terms trom London; and this could be done without firing a shot or kiting & man—indeed without disembarking @ wulor or asoldier irom your siups | know Eng. iand, and, above all, Lt knew commercial London, J don’t argue that Englishmen are cowards, bat my yen ia that we have become so entirely a nation of traders that money making is our only real eall- ing; that we have, agi shall show tn anotner letter, no real defences at any of our om Nabe and that we are, and have Been lor years past, what the great Duke of Weljington said we were when he pro- nounced England at the meroy of any enterprising snemy. on Tnotne part of this subject I have not touched; Tmean as regards Treland.

On the 18th of June, 1827, exactly thirty-two years ago, Maria Christina was sworn regent of the Span- ish Kingdom during the minority of hex daughter, Isabel IL. On the 18th of June, 1869, Dow Francisco Serrano y Dominguez, Field Marshal of the Army, and Duke de la Torre, took the oath as Kegent to obey and support the constitution in all things, so “help him God,” A regent’s rule has been @ curse to Spain always. Ithas been the intermidad during which rebeliions and insurrections rose horrent im the land, ahd in- trigues to undermine whatever approached vo gov- ernment and order were carried on most success- fully, From the twellth to the seventeenth century there were nine regents in Spain, and each regency exhibits a record of tears and blood. Since 1840 there have been three regencles, that of Christina, Espartero and Baylen. All three sig- nally failed to produce peace to Spain. They served to render the young men of Spain mostly hors de combat, depleted the country of useful bone and sinew and redaced the kingdom until the Cortes were made to confess that Spain was acountry with- out credit at home or abroad. Notable has every regency been for pecultar characteristios—all vices, however, productive of much greater ones and dis- astrous Consequences to the Peninsula, There have been doleful fore warnings delivered also concerning tiis present regency. Some of his own party have entreated him not to accept. Lven he himself was but illy inclined to accept the honor being thrust upon him, Butthe majority of the Cories and the ambition of his Duchess have proved too much to resist. The bloody associations of Jerez, Malaga and Cadiz have been vivified in his meiory by @ most graphic speech of a member of hisown party, “Will not,” asked Sefior Navarro, “the bloody memories of citizens mercilessly slaugh- tered at Jerez, Cadiz and Malaga leap to his mind When he holds his right hand up to high Heaven accepting ihe responsibility of a regency?’ Vice President Cantero crabbedly asked for iniormation respecting the fitness of the Duke de la Torre for the oitice of Regent of Spam, He for one much doubted the wisdom of putting 80 grave a chal into the hands of a man Who hus proved as inconsistent as a weatiier yane, which veers to the slighest breeze. Caatelar, the thanderer of the republican party, With uuparatieied eloquence, dwelt in his best po- etical, transcendental oratory upon the woes, ca- jamives Of all Kinds, political aud social, brought by regencies upon Span:—“Oa, people! look to the f past centuries and learn wisdor | Have you hever heard of the vile prostitute Urraca, aud of the tears and blood caused by her regency; of the quarrels of the Castros and the Laras ‘during the munority of Alphonso VIL; of what befell our beloved spain during the regency of a Berengucia; of ihe rivairies of Castiles; of the quarreis of the noliies; of the indocility of the aristocracy; of the mussacres Of the Moors—all of which took place on this sale heroic soil of Castile, which ye wonld pollute with your bastard regency?

Four maces preceded him as he entered, arrayed in ull the glory of robes of crimson veivet, artisti- cally decorated by crowns and other insignia of roy- alty in gold, with red velvet capa, surmounted by enormous ostrich feathers of snowy white, These marched solemnly in front, and at the steps of the plauworm divided, fronting tae Kegent, who was clad in tie wnilform of a Captain General. ‘two giit chairs hat been pinced in front of the President's desk, One was for himself; the one to his right hand was tor the Kegent, who At Ouce took his seal upon it. Pompous Rivero, ten times more pouipous at this moment, without rising, deiivered the oath, and the Regent knecied down, and, lifting has right hand upward, said, while every soul within was en the tlptoe of e - tation, ‘1 solemniy'’—a pause, during which serra- no tried to remember what he wag to swear—'1 solemnly swear’—another pause and a universal fit- tering Was heard in the Cortes, Ib was evident that he had jost alt rv lection of the response he was to make. So le almost every one pitted him while on his Kuees, subject to criticism by every body a8 well as wakiud remarks, he plunged tus hand into the breast pocket oi his uniform coat and brought out a dingy piece of paper, which be spread before him in the reverse way. He now commenced anew and gail, “Yo"—l—when he found his error, and, puiting 1 properly before lim, attempted the oath again; but the poor victim of mimic monarciy ‘was almost biind—he could not see if neither could he say any more than “I solemmiy swear” Tie house was in commotion, “Murmurs aid hisses ran all around the house, Ladies turned their faces away or hid them with their fans, It was & most humiliating position for poor Serrano.

Althongh Count Bismarck would perlians object to sucb a description, 1t seems to ua (hat that portion of Germany over whose fortunes he presides, in thie capacity of Chancellor, 19 the most parliamentary county in the world, We are always hearing of some larliament or other meeting or closing. What with the Federal Parliament, the Customs Parlia- ment, the Prassian Parliament, and the Parliamencs of the several other States composing the Northe: Confederation, there 4s literally no eud of “speeches from the throne,” and of parliamentary debates, If the people of North Germany are not in possession of self-government it must be their own fault rather than that of their raters, On Tuesday last two parliaments were prorogued— the North German Parliament and the Custonis Par- liament, Te both there was ® speech from the throne, delivered, in the absence of the King, by commission; and tn both congratulations were ad- Gressed on the good result of tieir Jabora ‘in Strengthening that tle which binds together the common institutions of all German countries, and on the unanimous co-operation of the Federal govern- ments with the national representatives in tne com- mon laboring for German welfare.’ On this occasion, however, # particularly gratifying incident, and one ecuilarly caicuiated to awaken sentiments of nation- Hl Patriotism and reconciliation, lenta special empha- #18 to ts confident and hopeful language of the sov- ereign. The wt and dockyard for (he German navy had been s Jy inaugurated three days be- fore by King William, micnded by tis Prime Minister and cluef officers of State, and by the Prince Admiral-in-Chief, accompanied by the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, on whose territory tas great national establishnent of Wihelmshaven is siltated, King William acknowleaged wi equal grace al tu gratitude his obligation to the Grand Duke, who, in spite of the opstractive hostility of the Hanoverian government to tie project, had made over to nim (for a very handsome consideration) the site of the port and dockyard twelve years before Sadowa had sealed the supremacy of Prissia, and only two years. after the jeaiousy of Austria had compelled the sale of the first federal navy. 1t was at once tegt- timate and politicon the part of the King to remind the German nation of a jealousy which, al- though now powerless and of no account, stil) sur. vives defeat in the Court and Cabinet of Vienna. On this ground, if on no other, the whole national party in Germany have good reagon to rejoice in that great victory Which gave to Prussia the gnartdiinstup of German destivics, It was as a naval Power that Austria had vindicated her co-operation In the Schleswig-Holstein war, and it was in her maritune capacity that, after 1848, Austria had claimed the contro! of German unity. No Power with- out a navy could pretend to dispute with = Anstr! the German sovereignty. It. was, therefore, not on an act of policy, but of absolute necessity, on the part of Prussia to constitute herself a naval Power on her own account, When as yet the oppurtunity had not arrived for reassertimg those pretensions against which her ancient rival, preferring her own interests to those of Germany, had so arrogantly protested, With untaltering purpose, and an eco- omy which British taxpayers may well envy, the goverament at Berlin addressed ttself to the erea- tion of a Prussian navy, buying or building a few frigates and sinaller ships, showing the fla g in Ger- man and in distant seas, and meanwhile diligeatly constructing the fatare hone of @ feet which should fitly represent ils ampler responsibilttes in the com- ing time, When the great war had finally expelled Austria from Germany as. military Power by land or by sea and had relegated her naval pretensions fo the Adrt- atic Prussia Was already in possession of an embryo force of powerful ships, Well commanded, well manned and well armed, With a naval budget which scarcely exceeds @ fourth of the estimates of the British Admiralty Prussia has provided the Northern Confeceration with three of the most pow- eriul iron-clads afloat and with a respectable num- ber of serviceable and efficient vessels of varioua lesser Yates, In the coast populations of North Germany she hes wherewithal to mah moet effectively a defensive squadron, interior in number only to the first and the second of the great mari- time Powers of Wearope, By the time the dockyard just opened in the Bay of Jahde is ready for the re- ception of a complete naval establishment tire North German navy list will have attained to still more digaified dimensions. In any future war threaten- ing the exteting limitations of the map of Bnrope this North German navy will certainly be qualified not ouly to hold its own, but to act as a most tpi iy auxiliary. No other Power has any rucht ) call In question the maritime and naval pre- parartions of Prussia as the representatives of Nortt Germa As for ourselves, it was said by a former Prussian king that war between Prussia and Great Britain Was as unlikely as @ battle between a do; andafish, This, itis true, Was before Prussia had anavy.

When the late Emperor of Russia entered on the subject of the rature destiny of this countty he tried to persuade Purope that the Porte’s belief tt irs own Vigor and good health was, like the strange fancies of a sick man, proof positive of weakness and de- cay. Hatt he been able, however, to look forwita iitto thie fature, even over the space of the few years that have gone by since tien, he would have beett convineed that those signs which, according to him, contained the cankering Worm of inevitable dlesol- tlon, held, instead, the germ of renewed or rather re- awakening life amd prosperity. Those Who lived In ‘Turkey Ab thas time and hefore tt, atid Nave re- matned here since then; as 1 havo done, are able to foe that, notwithstanding the many errors and short- comings of the government, the want of honesty, economy and foresight which prevails in almoat every branch and department of the public admin- istration, the country itself ta full of vigor and life, and that, if its onward stena towards re- organization and general improvement be few and slow, they are nevertheless well marked and sieadt- ly progressive, This may not strike the attention of the casual observer, but those who know the country and look around them see that the tree which was supposed to be rotting at the core, and which cer- tainly has many dry branches, is daily giving out new shoots, destined to grow and bear frait. Thus it ig incontestable that the reorganization of the administrative departments is progressing steadily, and must eventually tend to put a stop to many Vexalions aud acts of injustice to which the people have hitherto been subjected, The revenue of the couniry is still very imperfectly collected and often very ill-advisedly spent, but it has increased, and by the gradual establishment of financial depart- ments aud checks on the provincial treasuries will eventually be gathered in with greater regularity, and made use of with better jadgment aud prudence, The produce of the country in the interior has evi- dently increased, without yet reaching, however, ity per cent of what it could produce, even with its present poor and ignorant population; but roads are beimg male and schouls opened here and there—as, for example, at Trebizonde, Erzeroum, Bagdad, Diarbekir, Broussa, Tripot!, &c.—which, if they be roperly constructed or not, well organized and ept up, or otherwise, must eventually tell on the progress of the couauy. Railway communication 3 yet in ils Infancy, and the four lines at work are certainly not paying concerns, but the districts through which they pass have undoubtedly been benefited by them, and if the shareholders are losers the government itself has been a gainer, Very litte has hitherto been done in Turkey to in vite strangers to settle in the country, or induce the inhabitanis themselves to quit the towns in order to cuitivate many highly productive lands of our im- mense sea coast, Which are ouly waitiug tne labor of man to render seed a hundred fold, A fires move has now been made, however, in this sense, and otners will Gosmeaney follow. The Pacha of Tripolt has obtained permission to declare the old and aban- doned harvor of Bomba (ancient ‘Heracleum”) a free port, and to offer to setilers every facility aud five years exemption from all taxation. Bomba has uever been Inhabited since the time when its Koman colony was forced (o abandon ihe place owing to the continual raids of the Berbere Arabs. Tho countr’ in its neighbornood is most fertile and well watered, and the harbor excellent, Situated, as itis, some 200 miles to te east of Bengazy, and 360 to the west of Alexandria, Bomba, with the opening of the Sees canal, is destined to become a very important polis on toe coast of Barbary. The Board of Public Works has not been idle here, and the affairs of the Adrianople Kailway have been qoaed on with greater celerity than was anticipated. The Suitan is very anxious to see the thing done, and this has forced the Minis- ters to attend to the matter with more regularity than is usual in Constantinople. We are told that everyuin; is now settled, and that Daud Pacha on the eve of returning to Paris with the ratification of the proposed new conventions, Rules have also been jad down re- garding future railway undertakings in ‘furkey. ‘This new regulation provides for the liberty of the provinces te act on their own resources for the roads and railways they may require, ‘This inangarates a new erainthe matter of internal communication, and its good eifecis will soon be tet. Politically Lhave nothing of any moment to note. ‘The Persian ambassador has full powers to settle all questions, frontier a yd others, between his governs ment and the Porce, aud no doubt this will soon be done with full satisfaction to all pares concerned, ‘rhe three Cretan chiefs I mentioned in my jast have beon pardoned and allowed to return to their homes. in the meantime the troops are being re- catied from the island. Under certalu restrictions all Greek newspapers are again allowed free circulation in Turkey. Paliner ig to be expeiled the country. The Turks, out of de- ference to the British ambassador, had expressed the wish that Palmer should be dealt with according fo English law, but the Britisa cousular authoriues have no power to do this, and the end will be that the Turkish police will pat him on board a steamer and order hii out of the country, Colonel iassan Bey—O' Richy, of the Syrian raid—has also been re- quested to leave Constaatinople. THE EARTHQUAKE IN MiSSOUGI, {From the St. Louis Democrat, July 3.) On Friday morning, between one and two o'clock, many citizens of the city and county were awakened by Ule shocks of an earthquake. At Kirkwood there was @ pretty general awakening. Mr. Joln H. Tice, at Cheltenham, states he was awake at ue time and heard a faint, rumbling noise, which he supposed proceeded irom an approaching railroad tram, but humediately felt the bed vibrating and the windows rattling; that there were three distinct waves, the second the heaviest, which farred the windows, not unlike the jarring of streat ears from macadamizing obstractons on Lie track. Our earth is unquestionably passing through one of those regular abnormal condition: curring about every wn or eleven years, of maximum mete- orological disturbances as shown by Prof. Lamont, of Munich, Prof. Schwabe, of Gottingen, and Gen, Sabine, of the Royal Army, The frequent tornadoes and hailstorms and excessive rains of the present season, and earthquakes at various places, suow a general abnormal condition of great electric and magnetic disturbances, According to Prof, Schwabe, in August and September next there ought to bea maxtnum of solar spots. And this maximum of folar spots is always synchronous with eartnquakes, hurricanes, auroras, &c., in those months. It would be carious if these speculations of the Professor Blould be confirmed the present season. Observations of the phenomenon come to us from polnw many miles apart, showing that the range of ihe shock Waa quite extensive, it was sensibly felt at Aiton, and ffora points south of that at least fifty miles distant. From Conversations with various gentlemen we think the greacést iorce of the vibr on Was in St, Louis and the distri?t dpmediately adjacent om the soutuwest. Its time is quite deti- niiely fixed by different parties. General N. Ranney Bp it at nine Haluutes after twelve A. M., aud the Movement lasted five seconds, the vibrations being north and south. An intelligent gentloman who re- sides ou thy plateau just east of Cote Brilliant, was awakened, with hig family, by arough shaking of the house, and tus firstiaea Was that a horricane Was raging without, His watch donated fifteen min- utes past LWo, With a duration ol six seconds. The first shock was the heaviest, Immediately followed by another more gentle one. In many localities articles of furniture were moved and small orna- iments thrown down, but as far as we know ilutie damage resulted.

Ric#Monn, July 4, 1869. As if urged by desperation, now, at the close of the campaign, the radical leaders are making a last and final effort in the hope of securing vietory on Tuesday next. Everywhere political excitement rans intensely high. Governor Wells, General Van Wyck, General Bean, of Montana, and other radical orators, are being whirled from place to place with lightning speed in special trains, each addressing a number of negro audiences daily, As the time ad- vances and the éth nears, the feeling and heat of the campaign increases if posstble, until the State re- sembles a seething political cauidron from moun- tain to seaboard. Accounts trom all sections agree that Virginia never before witnessed suc a hot political conteat, nor was the State ever the scene of s0 much enthustasm and excitement on the eve of a political election. The name of Gilbert C, Walker alone now aronses every F. F. V., and creates as mutch feeting in other breasts as did ever the names of Wise, Letcher, Smith or Fiourney in the part where the whigs and democrats assembled on the hustings prior to any gubernatorial ejection, On the other hand, the hegroes, Who have been thorougily dried tw their work by thelr carpet-bag leaders, are intent upon going to the polls in solid phalanx and casting their votes for Wells and Dr. J, D, Harris, the negro can- didate for Lieutenant Governor, It 18 a mistake to suppose that Wells exerts any great influence with the negroes. On the contrary, sluce le reluctantly wrote the letter acquiescing in General Grant's views as to the propriety of having the con- suitution expurgated of the proser!ptive features which he (Wells) was instrumental in engrafting upon it, he has become exceed- ingiy unpopalar among the mass of the negroes. Harris it 18 that concentrates the black vote upon the Wells ticket. He is properly their standard bearer in the campaign; bis name is a tower of strength, and its very mention always elicits the most unbounded applause from an assemolage of blacks, Throughout the State, however, there is one noticeable feature among the negroes which at- taches to them since the days of slavery. Between the free aad slave negroes there was always an ani- mosity and ili accra Speed cultivated by the Whites—which now, in the heat of a political can- yasa, has ripened into an open breach—a sort of sociai cistinction between the two classes. For- cxeriy the tree negroes were held in contempt by the Slaves, few woud associate with them, and the slave scorned ant comparison that would place him onan equality with a ‘free nigger.’ Now the tables are turned, Those who were always [ree consider themselves elevated a degree above the for- mer slave, They are more aspiring; most of them can read and write; they are in better cir- cumstances, and having had tue good sense to culti- vate the friendship of the whites, they are conaidera- oy jnore attached to that race than to their own, with whom they generally avoid not only association but imvercourse. A result of this in the present campaign is that the majority of the old free negroes will cast their votes for Walker, and against the Drpacuiption features of the Constitution, while the mfises of thetr brethren will vote for Wells and the Constitution as itis. This ts possibly all the divi- sion that will be in the negro vote, and it is safe to Say that not over 10,000 white votes will be cast for Wells on the day of election in the State. Looking, therefore, from an impartial standpoint, and after carefully weighing both sides of tne ques- tion, It is nothing but reasonable to coujecture the Success of the Walker ticket by a small majority. Witu such extraordinary issues, however, such new and strange political elements, and with so many odd and curious influences at work in the campaign, 1b would be no matier of surprise were Wella elected. One thing is certain, that though Harris—the uegro candidate on the Wels tleket lor ‘the Lieutenant Governorshtp—will get nearly the entire vote of his race, he will be defeated, as no white maa will vote for him, however much at heart he may have the radical cause. ‘Tats will insure the election of John F, Lewis, the candidate for that office on the Walker ticket, In any event. Both sides are hoperul and enthustastic, but betsing ts two to one on Walker, and even greater odds tian that are offered, without any takers. The result 1s extremely doubt- ful, thougn Walker’s friends claim that unless the ballot boxes are manipulated—and many alege the introduction of that process into Virginta, where Vallot boxes were "heretofore unknown, to be the actual mission of General Van Wyck—their ticket will be elected by an overwhelming majority. From the best sources of information it is estimated that red vote will be as follows:— White Majority...-.s.corersverereesperesse 80,000 Allowing for those Wid have disd “slice the rexts- tration of 1867 and those who have left the State, &C., 5,000 of each race, the actual voting population would in that case be 145,000 whites and 115,000 biacks. Judging, then, from all the indications chat now present themselves, the vote, giving a very lib- eral white allowance on the 6th, Will probably stand as follows: Werls, Whites 14,000 Blacks.. 110,000 Total.... sss. 124,000 jority for Walker. seeseeee 5,000 The above ig mere conjecture, but it is neverthe- less a fair and impartial estimate of the vote and a correct representation of the proportions of the vote of each race that will be cast for the respective can- didates, For tue better preservation of the good or- der and peace of the city on the day of election, Ma- is Hambrick, the military commissioner here, has jssued the following order:— ‘The Military Commissioner of the city of Richmond ear- nestly desires that good order wili be maintained on the di of election. In order to avoid an idle crowd the voters will be formed into two lines, and parties approaching the polls must lake their places in’ said lines. ‘The poltee stationed at euch precinct will see that first oue Voter approach the ballot box from one line and thea one from the other, The heads of te ings will be about ten feet trom the place or point of de- posisins the yotes.

PAUL. Re HAMBRICK, Firat Licutenant United States Army, Supt, Election, Outside of Virginia nobody can imagine the almost fearful degree of anxiety with which the result of Tuesday is looked forward to. It 1s totally unlike the feeling experienced on avy slinilar occasion, for there never was ap election Girt aMected so vitally the interests and the dearest wishes of a people. Should the sun set on the election of Governor Wells there will be a wail of anguish trom every section of the State: men will lose all hope in the future; despair will asare them in the face, and the litte euergy leit among them wil) be dviven away, In- dustry will be paralyzed, commerce and trade will die an untimely deat and Virginia will be left in a condition from wich she cannot be recusitated in the next fifty years. IT Know at the pre- sant time over 100 active, energetic business men and farmers who are counting the moments until the election is oven ere they 4 ecide whether they shall remain any jonger in their old homes, Many have already made up their minds to sell want property they now have if Wells 1s elected aud seek other homes In the far West, Merchatits will close up business and be sola out by the hundred, and it is not overdrawing the picture mm the least to say that that event will be prod.ictive of the most fear- ful and disastrous results to the State. The avhor- rence in which Wells is held by the people cauinot be estimated, and the anticipations of his role are so awfuily gioomy that only those who are unable to leave will reimain to réath 5 THE STORMS AND THe OF The Efforts of the Balls in the to tnflate Prices. (From the Cleveland Uerald, July 8.) The great storm is over, The tornadves which swept the country in every direction have spent there force, nud the waters that threatened to pro- duce & pud deluge have subsided, The effect of all tliese teinpests and rains vpon the crops 18 tooked for with auxiety, and the bulis of the grain markets are hooking their horns in prices preparatory to giv- ing them a big Hoist om the stretigta of a damaged crop. We believe the frets will be too much for he and that they will be more apt to jerk off their horns tian to toss prices to any great Height, The Border States wheat crop Was well out of the hog before aty twouble occurred. Kansas and Missouri have their wheat taken care of, and it was a glorious yield. Kentucky wheat is housed, and if the crops in other states had come shgrt the fortune of Kentucky would ave been made, the ctop was of the finest character, both as to quantity and quailty, In Soutiiern Tiinois and Southern Indiana harvesting had already been considerably aivaneed before tre rains reached an extent to do any damage. Harvest- ing t# reported active in Central Indiana, and there are few complaints of damage. In those portions of Indiana and Tlinois swept by tornadoes there are compiatnts of wheat flelds prostrate by the whirl- wind of wind, rai and hall, but the track of these storms 18 generally narrow, and the first report of the damage is generally the worst. Even thes complaints are far less dolorons than would natu- rally have been expected, aid to most of them 18 appended a hope tit fine weather will matigate, Hi not Wholly repatr tle damage, The breezy a comparatively cool weather of the past few days Will do much to restore the crops without rust, Of this Stave the most that cau be sald is that no news !s good news: The storms in this State have been on the whole jess s@vere than in the States to the east and west of ns, and though the rains have been wert the coniplaints of damage are very few. Here aud there in unfavorable tocalities a feild of wheat bas suffered, but even there the favorable weather that followed the rains is doing much to briug things around right. The country newspapers that have come in within the past forty-eight hours britg no complaint whatever of the wheat crop in their respective locajities, but where mention ts at gil made of {ts condition it is uniformly favorable. In Stark county, witch has been heard from while writing Unis, the wheat flelds are said to be chang- Grain Market 3 enn ee ing color, and In another week will be ready for the harvester. The Cantod paper which briugs the news says More glorious grein, felds we have never seen,” We are sorry for the croakers, but can see no hope for them.
