The Third Annual State Fair has . closed, and the thousand here, to witness the signs aud the wonders, are departing. The fair has passed off well and toost pleasantly. We have found it impossible to present a list of the Premium awarded,' &c, in our issue of to-day. We shall be able to do so in our next. The address of Judge Rgtfix, on Thursday, is spoken of iu the "highest terms as . an eminently able practical essay. ELECTION IN OHIO. -. We have official and reported majorities of the result for Governor in eighty counties in Ohio, They show a majority joi 20,400 votes for'llr. Chase, leaving the counties of Adams, Fayette, J Gallia, Henry, Pauling, Putnam, and Vinton, to be heard froui. We have also the result of the election for State Senators in forty-three counties, and for Representatives in forty eight counties. The former elected nineteen Republicans and three Democrats, and the Tatter fifty-four Repub licans and nineteen Democrats. , GEORGIA ELECTIONS. The Savannah "Georgian' of the 14th instant gives the following summary of the results of the kte election in that State , , "Uur tables are now nearly, completed, a few of the least populous counties only to hear from. The whole vote in the State is 101,841, which will be increased to 104,000 a large increase over that of 1853. . "Johnson has received 52,877 ; Andrews 42, 952; Overby ; 6,012. Johnson's majority over A Ire wb is 9,925, which counties to hear from will increase to 10,500; over both Andrews' aud Overby 3,913, which will also, we think, be in creased, though the prohibition returns are very imperfect. "For Congress, Seward's majority in the first district is 1,416 : Crawford s tn the second 170 ; Trippe's in the third 917 ; Warner's iu the fourth 77 ; Lumpkin's in the fifth 3,496 ; Cobb's in the sixth 2,920 ; Foster's in the seventh 215 : Steph en s in the eighth 2,465. FLORIDA ELECTIONS. Elections have recently been held in Florida, for county officers. The American party succeed ed in Alligator county by 320 majority, in Walton do., by 20, in Wakulla by 40, in Leon by 170, aud in Nassau by a majority not yet ascertained. Thejocofocos carried a few of the counties by in considerable majorities. The "Norfolk Herald" has resumed publi cation, and will issue tri-weekly until its com positors are able to return, when it will again appear daily. We make this announcement with unusual pleasure. . The Norfolk Herald is the oldest of the newspapers of Virginia, with the exception, perhaps, of that excelleut journal, the Fredericksburg Herald. It is edited by Mr Tboa. G. Broughton, the veteran of the Virginia press, whose name is as intimately and honorably associated with the Herald and with Norfolk, as was that of the late Thomas Ritchie with the Enquirer and with Richmond. The good sense, sound judgment, and unvarying dignity, which have ever characterized the Herald, have always given it an elevated position among the newspa pers of Virginia, aud commanded the profou ud respect of all political parties. It has labored long and faithfully, says the " Richmond Dispatch," in the interests of Norfolk, and to no citizen was that town more indebted for its advancing prosperity, ere the pestilence visited it, than to the venerable editor of the Nor folk Herald. We can imagine his sorrow at the dark shadows which have been cast upon the city for which he has labored with so much zeal and ability. Alas, they have been deepened into dark er shadows by the gloom which the angel of death has cast over his own beloved household ! Yet, he still survives the wreck, and, with manly cour age, prepares once more to give his canvass to the breeze, and set sail again upon the stormy ea. Whilst many a garden flower has been blighted, and many a young tree uprooted, the aged oak has been spared, and is still able to bat tie with the tempest. We feel assured that the generous people of Norfolk fully appreciate the long and valuable services of the able editor and noble gentleman, who has devoted his long life aud his best talents and energies to their service. The absence so long of that old established jour nal from the galaxy of the Virginia press has been like missing one of the familiar planets jof our system. We haQ its return as the Herald bf health, and joy, the morning star of Norfolk's re turning prosperity.

WHATTHE ABOLITIONISTS SAY OF KNOW-NOTHINGISM. " The "National Era,4h AUaitiou organ pub lished atWaslaugtoti regards Know-Nothingism iu the treei States as an invincible obsUcle to Fu onisiu and Abolitionism, and calls it the faithful ally of slavery and the South. It says : "Our readers see that Know-Nothiugismisop erating just as we predicted. Where it cannot rule, it seeks to ruin. Iu States where it is dom inant, it seeks to subject RepulJicanism to its use; where it is not. it arrays itself in bitter on- position toit.'Iu Indiana and Some of the Western states, it holds back Republicanism from any effi cient action. In Ohio, Massachusetts, and New York, where the Republicans have disentangled themselves, it is seeking to overthrow them, thus playing into the hands of the Administration and the Slave Power, ami retarding the movement for uuiou iu the free States." In a speech in New York, a sliort time since, Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, the great Mo gul of abolitionism, said : I saw last wiuter at Washington that an effort would be made to make the American Party bow down in abject submission to the Slave Power, and I uutde tip my mind, as a member of that organization, that if it underwent -a Pro-Slavery tru;donuation, 1 would, if I hail the power, sluv- er it .intor thousnud pieces. iTremeudous cheer- mg.J .1 came here resolved to do what 1 could to save the American party from being a Pro- Slavery organization. Yon will remember, some of you, that in .New York, early iu May, I warn ed you of the effort that was to be made to con vert the American party into a Slave organiza tion, aud I said to the organization iu all caud, that the Anti-Slavery men of the country ought to proclaim it, that whenever the American Party Went to Philadelphia, the chiefs of the Slave power came there and asked the party to sanc tion the institution of Slavery iu all its phases, from its introduction into this country to the Ne braska fraud. And the delegation from New York stood by aud sustained their demands. The American Party, gentlemen, received its death blow at Philadelphia, from the Barkers and Lyons of New York ; and, gentlemen, I say to night, and I speak to every man, that the first" duty you owe your country is to repudiate this oatned ami defeated aud disgraced faction iu the State jof New York. You owe it to yourself, I say, to leave the organization and unite with the gathering hosts of the freemen of New l ork ! it is your first duty to crush out politically from among you the Barkers and Lyons and UUmanns ana the Hunker, Pro-Slavery Hindoos of the State of New York." A TOUCHING SCENE. At the celebration at King's Mountain, the fol lowing sentiment was offered : Host. William Campbell Preston : Re-kin dled in the graud-son, has beeu transmitted to us the spirit whicJi gleamed in the grand-sire. While we have assembled to honor the patriotic deeds of the One upon the battle-field, let us not forget the statesmanship and eloquence which have thrown a halo of imperishable glory around the other. In the fullness of age, as in the pride and strength of manhood, South Carolina de lights to do him reverence. What follows, we give in the graphic language of the reporter for the Charleston Standard : "When the reading of this sentimeut, and the cheers which it occasioned, were ended, an aged and. feeble gentleman was seen making his way to the stand. He had once possessed a massive frame, but it was much wasted ; his hair was white, and, even with the assistance of his crutch, he walked with difficulty. This was all that is left of Col. William C. Preston, oiie wf the most perfect orators this country has ever known. He said: "If any thing could now relume the embers of a life which, at times in my yoUth and man hood, has perhaps burned brightly, it would be the sentiment which has just been uttered. It touches the objects which are dearest to me. It rants to a life which has been animated by what thought and hoped had been elevated objects of ambition, and to an ancestry whose memory has been most fondly cherished ; and here, in these scenes of primeval grandeur, and upon a spot with which it has leen the tortnue ol that ances try to be associated, it com upon me with spe cial force; but if I could ever speak, he said, "I can speak no longer, and if excuse be needed, I would appeal to this, raising up Ins crutcn, and to this, laying his hand upon locks as white as snow : " yet still ray heart, laying his hand upon his breast but the idea, whatever it mav have been, coniu nmi no utterance ; tne tears trickled slowly down his sunken cheeks aud bowing low to the audience, who were scarcely leas affected, he resumed his seat." BISHOP McGILL "CRUSHED OUT." A correspondent of the Williamsburg (Va.) Gazette combats the idea that Kuow-Nothingism was the origin of yellow fever iu Norfolk, by ad ducing the following facts : " 1. Fact. The fever commenced in Gosport, in what is inown as " Irish row" a place occupied by Roman Catholics, and about the very filthiest spot of population known upon all this dirty earth. These hlthy crowds, nuooiea togeiner - m. 1 I 111 .1 in small, close, filthy rooms, with cow, calf, pig, men, women, children and dogs, Could not do otherwise than produce, themselves, the very disease which Bishop McGill dared to ascribe to the cause of virtue, 4 the American cause.

Fact. After the disease broke out among these Catholics, it might have been arrested, but for the influence of the Roman Catholic PaiESTs! The physicians visited and prescribed for them the proper remedies, out tney would not tas.e them, nor could they be prevailed upon, to do so, until the Priest came and gave his sanction, which was generally too late to effect the de signed cure The' writer concludes by expressing the hope that Bishop McGill will be "a little more modest when he again attempts to solve the inscrutable doings of an All-wise Providence.1 The New York Tribune, speaking ot the free negroes of the North, says that, "as a class, the blacks are indolent, improvident, servile and li centious J'. This is an honest confession uuwil- hncrlv wrung, out of the , abolition organ. We would not hare believed it could have made it. How Marbles ab Made.

PniLADKLrniA, tVtolier 12.-rJudge Ivme der livered an opinion this morning ad verse to the re ception of the petition of Jarie Johnsim to qnnsli the writ of harbeas titrjiiit in the case, i.f ) 'ass more Williamson, pronouncing her to have , no status in the court, and the matter Wing entirely without ita jurisdiction. The opinion of the court is very elaborate, re viewing the whole case and re-atii ruling the for mer .opinion. It is asserted that the law. of na tions guarantied the right' of transit of slaves',' and every other species of projerty, through torribp ry1 where slavery was not recognized. If the con trary principle was sanctioned, the time miglkt come when the cotton of ljouisiana, the rice of, Carolina, and the rum of New England, would be restricted from trausjtortation without the hounds of 'the States 'producing them. He maintained that the federal constitution recognizes- slaves as property, and up to 1830 is existed iu the thir teen origiual States. The said Williamson's duty then as hbw, was to' produce Jane Johnson anil her children. I f the petitioned were 4edto' abide the action of the court, she would have theright to be heard ; but, being without its Jurisdiction, the records of the court cannot be opened 'for a stranger. - ' ' '' ' '"-''' ' On the conclusion of the reading of the opin ion of the'eourt, John Oadwallader, a Yneftder of the bar, uot engaged in the. case, iu order to re move a t'llse impression from the public niii'uL said that from his recollection of the ciremiis'tan ces attending the commitment of Passmore Wil liamson for contempt, tlie proposition was made to ameud the return to the writ, when Judge Kane replied : "1 will not receive an amendment now, but will be prepared to receive it when the record has been completed. No such motion was subsequently made, aud the - public 'impressiou that permission to amend was refused is not war ranted by the facts." " Judge Kane replied that the recollection of Mr. C. was correct. He had leen prepared to receive a supplementary return from tlie counsel, but uoue h:id beeu ottered. Mr. Cadwallader suggested that an addition lie made to the opinion of the court, embracing' the remarks of a member of the bar not engaged in the case aud the reply of the Judge. He wasin duced to make the suggestion by the best feelings towards a worthy but mistaken man, hoping that it might lead to the adoption of a course that will end in his liberation. The Jiulge consented to the proposition of Mr Cadwallader to imhody hi remarks and the answer of the court totln-ui, so us to complete the record. President Pikkce anu tiik Vikoinia State Fair. The " South-Side (Va.) Dem.vr.it" sin cerely hopes that the President -will attend the Virginia Agricultural Fair, to be held shortly in Petersburg, because the latter is " tlie oiJy Jewo- cratic city in the State the only ciiy that ha.i bowed the knee to Baal." A potent reason, certainly, why the .President of the United States should atlt-inl an Agricultu ral Fair I Not that lie would desire to see the fine display of horses, cattle, agricultural im plements and products of all kinds, which we art- confident will be exhibited on the occasion; not that he could lend, by his presence, encourage ment to the spirit which actuates tlie getting np of such exhibitions : these are not the reasons that make the South-Side Tanocrat "wucerely hope that President Pierce will find it convenient to attend ;" but the "Democrat's" desire for the Ex ecutive to be present is entirely owing to the fact that Petersburg is tlie oiJy city in i'irg'uua that has not set the seal of" condemnation on the irestnt corrttjjt admimstratiim. Vvell.it the I resident does attend the lair on thai account, (and we are prepared to believe he will.) the many hundreds JivhoY with their Demo cratic agricultural bjfhrer, hAve Ix-eii engaged in getting up the Fair, will certainly not feel rcry highly cornjJi mental ; and tin- tLxt time such an exhibition is proposed, they will !e apt, perhaps, to inquire whether it is to subserve the purposes for which such shows .were originally intended. or the selfish objects of administration parlizaus! Hon. Edwakd Stanly. The Asheville Sec- tator says : "We have a letter from a friend in the city of San Francisco, lately received, which, speaking of Mr. Stanly, says: "It is thought that our lavo- rite son of North Carolina, Hon. Edward Stanly, will be elected to the Senate, lie made a speech to the Wrhig club last evening add advised. them to abandon their organization for the present, and to assist the K.

Tjie'cuserviative men at the North have only to remain ; firm and organize themselves properly, and the result will be such as every patriot in the laud, will heartily rejoice over. Thespeech of Senator Seward is only a repe tition and rehash of what he lias frequently dis gusted the country with before. He oflers noth ing new, but contents himself with reiterating his old threadbare notions about the, equality of all men and all races. He calls tlie slaveholders of the South a "privileged class," aud argues that tlie existence of such a people under a Republf can form of government is fatal to its continuance and that it -ought to be done away with, if we would preserve our institutions and our liberties iutat t and unimpaired. He says: "Thiuk.it not strange or extravagant when I sav that an Aristocracy has already arisen here, and that it is already undermining the Republic. An Aristocracy could not arise iu any couutry where there was no privileged class and no spe cial foundation on which such a class could per manently stand. On the contrary, every state, however Republican its constitution may be, is sure to, beoume an Aristocracy sooner or later, if it has a privileged class standing firmly on an en during; special foundation, and if tliat class is con tinually growing stronger aud stronger, and the unprivileged classes growing weaker and weak er, it is not at all essential to a privileged class that it rest on feudal tenures, or ou military com mand, or on ecclesiastical authority, or that its rights he. hereditary or even that it be distinguish ed by titles of honor. It may be even the more insidious and the more .dangerous for lacking all these things, -because it will be less obnoxious to popular hostility. "A privileged class has existed in this country from an early period of its settlement. Slavehol- lers constitute that class. 1 hey have a special Inundation on which to stand, namely, rersonal lumiujou over slaves. Conscience and policy forbid all men alike from holding slaves, but some citizens" disregard the iniunction. Some ol the States enforce the inhihitation ; other States neg lect oi; refuse to enforce it. In each of the States there are three hundred and fifty thousand citi zens who avail themselves of this peculiar indul gence ami those protected by the laws of these iStates constitute a privileged class. 1 hey con fess themselves to be such a class, when they de signate tlie system of slavery as a peculiar insti tution; : He next attempts to show that the spirit of the revolutionary age was adverse to such a 'priv ileged, class," as he maintains Southern slave-hol ders are that, at the period of the revolution, I oth America and Kur pe were firmly and ear nestly, engaged iu proMviiting what was expected to le a speedy, complete, aud universal abolition if All -it-aii slavery that, at that time, Southern siave-iiouiers jiieinseives auuutieu mat slavery, as a nermaneut system, was indefensible, and fa vored its removal and that then they only ask ed for some securities' against a sudden, rash, and violent removal 'of the evil. He then points to the provisions of the Constitution, Which contain guaranties of the slave property of the South, uul says such concessions would never have been ihade by Northern men at that time but for the conviction among them that the Southern States themselves would soon, without federal interfer ence, take prompt steps to abolish slavery from theirjnidst. , All this, and much more, he says, which 'ha has "heretofore repeated. a thousand times. But even the W -u-ked and wuy intellect ot VViUiam 11. tie Ward is uuequal to the task, we trust, of organ izing a great sectional party whose sole object is the prostration of the South and the destruction of the tuion. We know the Black Republican movement is formidable both in the number of its ulbdrents and advocates, and their quality. Reck less from principle, unscrupulous in their tactics, and indomitable iu their perseverance, they have ; it in their power to accomplish much mischief 1 , sowmg the seeds ot discord and alienation be-1 een the North aud South ' and keeping up that I J.W I system bf perpetual irritating, agitation, which destroys the peace of the country, retards legis lation, and 'constantly opens before us' that fear ful abyss of Disuuion, from which patriots and good men of all sections shrink with unutterable tear1 and trembling. But notwithstanding all thisrweiiave faith tliat the "sober second thought" of a majority of even the Northern people will yet rally tc the rescue of the Constitution and the Union, and save them from the fate to which Abolitionism, in its madness and its fury, would consignS them. There is, we believe, enough conscience, enough patriotism, and enough of the ! spirit of genuine nationality and love of Tibei-ty pervading tlie masses of the North ernfpebple to constitute an all-sufficient bulwark against the frantic assaults which Abolitionism ftn Qflurn rJluid v(i rii a l i r rr 11TAn nili IVi JT"! fll tl l"i U I ana Sewardism are making upon our institutions j and our rights. If in this wc are mistaken, then the sacl story is soon told. The Union becomes a tbitig of the past ; and ' its separate fragmeuts, like kindred estranged, will be to each other irre coftcijable and warring enemies. J IrT concliision, there is one feature of Mr. Se ward's "speech, which we commend to the special Attention : of Southerta Democrats. ' It is that f wherein he denonuets the' American ' Party with exft-aordiriary.jzest and vim calling it "pfoscrip- tiVv and opposed tA the principles of Universal I edtliility. Wlien it is recollected that Southern ( j.euiocrts nave uuuoriniy auegeu tuat tne auut titaoeists of the- North were the syrvTOi riends and allies of the American party, it will sound a little siugular to hear the great and anointed lea der of the Abolition hosts 'denouncing said party. But so it is, ami we call particular attention to the mgufficant'fa.l&AflwncZ) Whip; . A HORRIBLE A FKA IK In Richmond, Va., on ' Tuesday night of last week, two negro -men -disappeared from their owuers, and were supposed to have run away.- On Friday night, one of them re-appeared before his master iu great agitation, and informed lorn that they had been enticed away by a Northern white man named Francis Aubourine, who had arrived hi Richmond three or four weeks ago, and who persuaded them, against their will, to let him carry them off to the North in his brother's vessel, theu lying at Richmond. For this they were to pay $75 each. He took them, on Tues day night, to a house wliich he had rented, in the 3d story tf which he kept thtm carefully locked up, staying with them himself at night, and car rying them their 1'oo.L Oh Thursday night, Car ter, oue of the negroes, (who had paid his $75 of " pxssage money " Bayliss, the other negro, having paid but a few dollars,) complained of sick uess, and requested the white man ; to procure lim some medicine, lie went out, and. bronght a mixture which he administered to Carter, w ho in a -few moments commenceil having spasnjs, ami very soon died. Tle nian then directed Bayliss to help him carry the body to the celfciri This 'acccomplished, the murderer took a knife ami cut ami gashed the body iu a horrible' man- uer, telling Iiayliss he luid been a pjiysician, and wished to observe the effect of the drug. upon the system. The next morning, the white man, told Bayliss that he would go out and procure a sliovel and bury the body in the cellar that he had rented the premises for five .years, aud no one would discover it. He went accordingly, and Bayliss was subsequently made to act as grave j digger aud the burial was soon completed. These circumstances very naturally alarmed Bayliss, who expected his turn would come next. He asked the man why he killed Carter, and he re- (lied that he didn't like him much ; but as for lim (Bayliss) he would stick by him and send him to the North, w here he would have a lucra tive situation. Bayliss, however, was not satis- j tied ; and on Friday night, (his white aequaiu- j tance hapjiening to leave the key in the door,) he slipped out ; went from the third to the second story, opened a window and jumped out. At the entreaty of Bayliss, his master and a number of policemen went to the house, where they found the body of Carter, horribly gasheL Setting a watch about the premises, they saw Aubourine enter at a late horn of the night. They followed, and found that he had taken tlie alarm and secreted himself in a coal house in an ad joining lot. When they cain upon him, he at tempted to repel them with a revolver aud a knife; but was safely secured. At this moment! he blew a quantity of powder from his mouth into the face of oue of the officers, from which tliat officer felt a disagreeable sensation. Ou his way to prison he admitted that he killed Carter, and saiil he had done a very foolish thing. He also apologized for blowing the powder into the offievr's f:ce, aud told him to drink some tcater, which would prevent any injury. This advice the officer very prudently decliued. Shortly after arriving at the cage, the prisoner was seized with the most horrible spasms, which succeeded each other with fearful rapidity, and lie fore any medical assistance could lie prticured, he was dead ! He had, it appeared, swallowed a large dose of strychnine, aud it was a portion of the same deadly poison that he had puffed into the watchman's face. Thus, the murderer, by his own act, and with all his sins upon him, went to meet his helpless victim iu another world. "The murder of Carter (says the Richmond Whig, from whose detailed account we have con densed the aboe particulars,) was an unprovok ed, cold-blooded act, and the general lielief is that he would have made way with Bayliss in the same manner, had not his escape frustrated the plan. The public must form their own opinion of his ulterior design. That he contemplated aiding the escape of the negroes is controverted by the murder of one of them ; and the only con clusion we can arrive at is that he merely wished to secure their money, aud then get rid of them uy the shortest possible method. in one seems to kuow any thing of the murderer's previous his tory, although a woman testified at the mqutst that he came to her liouse and stated that he was from New York ; that he had receutly clandes tinely married a lady in the British Provinces, anil that while on the way to New York they were overtaken aud the lady was carried back. The witness also stilted that Aubourine offered her $500, if she would go to the British Provinces and induce the lady to come hither; and that she saw in his possession two vials which he said con taiucd shrychnine, with whum he said he would end his lite, if he was convinced that he Would never again see her upon whom his ali'ectious were centred." This horrible affair produced the most inh-use excitement iu Richmond, and crowds of persons flocked to see tlie dead bodies. Aubourine wusa carver ami designer by trade, and h;ul woiRed a short time at his trade iu Richmond. He had hired the house for the purjuise of establishing a restaurant, as lie said. Ue told the uegries that the plan was a safe one; that they - would be placed on bis brother's vessel on Thursday night, and would lie in no danger, as sail vessels were never searened. ; The Peterslrtirg Express says : "There can be little doubt tliat the murderer was the agent of a Northern society, sent to the South for the puri pose of seducing negro slaves to escape from ser vitude, aud that the liouse rented by him, un der tlie pretext of Ijeing designed for a restaurant, was really to serve sis a rendezvous for runaways, where theymight.be secreted,-until an opportuni ty for escape was presented. And the Lxpress cites the case ot Ulevins, now in the Virginia penitentiary, convicted uuder sim ilar circumstances as the agent of a society of women at Worcester, Mass. , Another case in point. A negro belonging to Dr, Crawford, of Lancaster C. H., S. C, is now in jail at King & Qneeu C. II., Va., ; he was en ticed by oue of these abolition "agents," who got aa far as Virgiuia and there sold the negro ma king off himself. The negro was -dissatisfied, started back for South Carolina, was arrested and put in jail. Hollowat's Pills a certain Remedy for Indi gestion and Liver Complaint. Maria Armstrong (27). of Edgartown. Hew Jersey, sunered more than most people from indigestion, -accompanied by liver complaint. Several very clever medical men told her she was in a consumption, and her friends desnaired her ever recovering, as she had i 0, tried every thine they thought likely to benefit. her, without success. At last she ; tried Hollo way's Pills, which quickly assimilated with the Mood, removed the obnoxious matter, and tho roughly cleansed and renovated the system. The resnlt is that she was perfectly cured, and no if enjoys the best of health. These .Pills are also a certain cure for all diseases of the stomach and bowels.

We do not believe he was accused of too much of either. If so, he was outrageously slandered. But how could we expect any better from a soulless being. We speak not vaguely and spiteful as he has. We say soulless, because it is well remembered heAv he 'pout ed out Lis whole soul for" Mr. Clay. Hence his general proneness to demagogueisrh, as shown by his never ceasing ertort in aid of the abolition ists, to manufacture party capital out of the Sla very question, and others, tor At illustrations of "K)litical honesty," we need go no further for a sample than the article, we notice, wherein with- ut the slightest shadow of evidence, of any-kind.
