We need not designate the peculiar circumstances which, at a moment like the present, imperatively involves the calm judgment and careful determination of every American citizen who participates, or decrees to participate, in the common welfare of the country. There is not an intelligent citizen who has anything at stake, whether it be fortune, reputation, or children, or one indulging hope of future benefits, or entertaining fears of irremediable calamities, who does not ask himself, in his secret commencing, in which direction he leads the path of duty that all good men should pursue. To such individuals we would add a few candid remarks. Mr. Buchanan, then, knows no North, no South, no East, no West; he knows but one common Union. The advocates of his northern competitor, nominated exclusively by a free-State convention, have fairly striven to force him into the position of an "advocate of slavery," assuming themselves to be the champions of the "actors' candidate. Mr. Buchanan is neither a slavery nor an anti-slavery candidate, but the advocate of the rights of all. The platform on which he stands, fairly interpreted, is in exact consonance with the good motto "the Constitution as it is," and the Union as it was;" and with which, honestly maintained, all elections and classes would have. A abundant cause of contentment. No alarm, no loss, no calamities, national or individual, would ensue in the event of his triumphant election. On the other hand, the advocates of Fremont ever begin their assaults with the expression of Mr. Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that all men were created equal. And negroes are men. Such, we all know, is their constant cry. Well, what do they mean? To tear up slavery by the roots; to set free 4,000,000 of slaves, involving a loss to their southern brethren of $200,000,000. What else can they mean but mischief? Unfortunately for their doctrine, and their interpretation of Mr. Jefferson's meaning, that great man himself was the owner of slaves all his life. Not only so, but when he resided in this city, as President Washington's Secretary of State, he always had one or more of his slaves with him. And so had Washington himself, and more than half the cabinet ministers and members of Congress. Unlike the recent fate of Mr. Wheeler, they were not subjected to molestation. Such things should be remembered when it is attempted to incite the North against the South. If there has been "aggression" by either section, our southern brethren have certainly had the worst of it. They no longer enjoy the immunities in our midst which were permitted in the days of Washington. They have not encroached on us. Equally unfortunate is the effort to show that Jefferson and Washington were opposed to the "extension of slavery," provided the majority of the people of a State applying for admission desired to possess the "domestic institution" for, just four years after the date of the "ordinance of 1787," the State of Kentucky was admitted, and in 1796 Tennessee came in. Both were slave States. They were both admitted during Washington's administration, and Jefferson was his Secretary of State. Both of these great men approved these measures, and in truth there was no opposition anywhere. These are historical truths, against which the wild surges of fanaticism may beat in vain. The people then exercised their undoubted constitutional right of deciding for themselves whether they would have slavery or not. But now, Mr. Wilson, in his unvarying speech—for he has memorized but one—says, wherever he goes, "elect Fremont; he is pledged that every inch of our territory, in future, shall be consecrated to freedom"—that is, no slave shall be taken there. "Our" territory. He surely cannot mean that the public domain belongs exclusively to any particular section. But he does mean that Mr. Fremont is pledged to deny to a certain section, which is a joint owner, equal rights. This is violative of the fourth article of the constitution, as any one may see; and it at once arouses our brothers of the South, and forces them into a position of determined antagonism. Whether or not it is their desire or interest to exercise their privileges, all reflecting men must see the injustice and the danger of taunting a brave and generous people with an avowed purpose of depriving them of their constitutional rights, by the power of superior numbers in Congress, with a President chosen without consultation with them, and elected without ever soliciting their approbation or support. Such provocations and menaces, to which may be added the expressed purpose to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, whether the owners be willing or not, may well induce serious reflection on the part of every citizen who desires the peace and prosperity of his country, and is not yet convinced that his southern brethren are dead to honorable impulses and indifferent to injuries wantonly inflicted. In regard to Mr. Fillmore, the third candidate before the people, although it has been asserted by his admirers that he has no social partialities, yet it is an undeniable fact that he was, but a moment ago, consorting and cooperating with Mr. Fremont, the enemy of the Union, and the would-be oppressor of the South. They seemed to have formed a partnership in the North, even while their respective journals kept up a make-believe antagonism. Such are the respective attitudes of the candidates. Voters I judge for yourselves, and judge wisely, for stupendous consequences may attend your decision. From the Boston Post. ALL HAIL INDIANA! ALL HAIL THE HEREAFTER VICTORY! The glorious news from the Keyser State is accompanied with news of equal significance from the West; and the same devotion to the Union and the constitution. That has been manifested in Pennsylvania has been exhibited in Indiana. Indiana is one of the States which the Fremonters confidently relied on. Indeed, they were not even willing that the democracy of that State should have anything should still live. On the day before the election, the New York Courier and Enquirer said: "Our friends are confident of the success of their candidate (for governor) by from nine to twelve thousand majority." "Accounts from Indiana represent that our chances are good in all the seven districts which we now hold, and that we may possibly carry all of the remaining four but one." There has been no end to the bragging accounts of more interest meetings in favor of Fremont; and no stone has been left unturned to secure the success of that party. But Indiana contains as noble a list of democratic champions as any other state in the Union. Gov. Willard and Senator Bright in themselves are hosts, and they have with them a fine array of talent and patriotism. The Fremont orators have been met at every turn, and their best calumnies have been refuted. There has been there a glorious fight. The result is as splendid as it is significant. Indiana has routed the sectional party horse and foot. Willard, the democratic candidate, is governor by over SIX THOUSAND majority; the democrats have six out of eleven members of Congress, and a majority of the legislature, which secures two democratic senators to be elected by this legislature. All honor to the gallant democracy of Indiana. They have nobly discharged their duty; and told the country that Indiana will give her vote for James Buchanan. It must be remembered that this is a victory which the Indiana democrats have achieved with only the patriotic assistance of old-line whigs who go for Buchanan. The Fremonts and know-nothings were arrayed against them. At the next election, the Fillmore ticket will be in the field, which will increase the majority for Buchanan. Hurrah for the glorious State of Indiana! And as goes Indiana, so goes Illinois! Keep the ball rolling! It is not enough to barely elect Buchanan and Breckinridge. The North, misrepresented and calumniated by its Fremont sectional orators, owes it to itself to give them a most signal rebuke. Let the national candidates have a vote here that shall silence forever the claims of these orators to represent the North. Democrats, maintain your discipline! Close your ranks! Pour in grape! Forward upon the sectional squadrons! Oire them next time what Jackson gave the British at New Orleans. The Mississippi Valley Fair. A St. Louis paper speaking of this fair, which was held at that city, says: "The public interest in the exhibition is increasing every day. The vehicles seem to be more crowded and to travel faster. It would seem that the people are just realizing the magnitude and success of the enterprise. Of the visitors yesterday, a larger proportion were ladies than on Tuesday or Tuesday. You saw in all directions more of those sea-shell bonnets, that lit the head so prettily; more of those rich heavy shawls, which give a matronly look to the youngest maiden; and more of that bravery of apparel, which makes a multitude look picturesque." From the New York Daily News. PROOFS-COUNCIL-COURT cornered. Greeley's double-header has exploded in the hand, and probably burnt his fingers. The ligament connecting his Siamese twins has a little strength or consistency as Fremont's religious sentiments. The discovery our neighbor of the Tribune made of two Fremont, and, that it was the other one (Sewell L.) who was the Catholic, has brought a pressure upon Greeley more severe than the first one he complained of, and he finds that, if John Charles is ready to betray his creed and Lord and keep it sent, the other Fremont is not. Here is the letter of the new-found Fremont—the original can be seen by anyone desirous of looking. Upon the signature of an honest President: Wilkinson, N.C., Friday, Oct 17, 1856. To the Editor: Mr. Editor: Your favor of the 12th came duly to hand, and I take the first leisure moment to reply briefly. You ask me to say if I am a "Catholic?" if I reside in Washington?" and "If I remain, Lieutenant Colonel Fremont?" To the first question, I reply No. To the second question, I reply No. To the third question, I reply No. To the third question, I reply No. I am a Yankee by birth and education. I never did deny it, and God forbid I ever should I be graduated at West Point in 1841; resigned my commission in the army in 1854. I am now residing at this place as the engineer and superintendent of the Wilmington and Wellington Railroad Company, where I may be found at almost any hour of the day or night. I am a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and have been from ten to twelve years. Dr. R. B. Doane is the rector of "St. James," where I usually attend Divine service. I am a democrat of the old-line species, and shall, if I live, vote for Buchanan. My faith teaches me to make no distinction in regard to the religious opinions of any candidate for office. Roman Catholics are equal, in my estimation, with those of other Christian denominations. I have never, as I said, resided in Washington city, though I have frequently been there for a few days at a time; the longest was perhaps one week, on my return to this State, with my family, after our rescue from the wreck of the San Francisco. But I was never in a Roman Catholic church in Washington, nor do I know the location of any Roman church in that city. I was one time within the walls of a Roman Catholic church in Fayetteville, in this State, some twelve or fifteen years ago; and in 1848, at the invitation of a brother-officer, I attended vespers at Detroit, Michigan. This constitutes the whole of my "Human Catholic" worship or attendance at that Church. I do not know any person by the name of Judge Peters. I am told Col. Fremont is a small man. I am not, if six feet, less one inch, high, and 175 to 180 pounds weight makes a medium-flized one. I have answered all your questions according to the facts in the case; but there is one request you make which I cannot grant unless you think the publication of this note will do something to save the Union. I am for the Union to the last plank, and will consent to most anything to save it in its integrity, except being President. That is too small a matter for me. The office would not suit me at all, and "due" tell your colored "republicans," if by mistake they elect me, I "can't save." I am, Very truly, your friend, S. L. FREMONT. Truly, we believe the black "republicans" have made a mistake; have got hold of the wrong Fremont; for here is one whose noble manliness and fearless independence of character puts to the blush that other Fremont, who dare not speak, and, if he speaks, tells an untruth. They had better drop their man who denies his creed, and take up an honest Fremont, who says he is a Protestant, but considers Roman Catholics equal with those of other denominations. Here is a kam? Here is a democrat, a Fremont, but he is not a Fremont of the black-republican race. One is a noble fellow, the other is a pah. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Union. THE LATE HON. JOHN L. MARLING. We regret to announce the demise of Hon. John L. Marling, United States minister to Guatemala, and formerly one of the editors of this paper, who died at his residence at Oakland, in the vicinity of this city, yesterday morning at 3 o'clock, in the 39th year of his age. In all the walks of life, Mr. M. was a gentleman at home and abroad—a gentleman in the highest sense of the term. Brave, honest, and upright, he won the esteem of the good and the true with whom he came in contact. He has been cut down in the morning of manhood, at that critical period of life when men become most burdened with the cares of this world. He desired to live for the sake of the fond wife of his choice and the two dear pledges of their affection which God had given them. He was at first disposed to murmur at his hard lot; but his mind underwent a great change, and he was willing to leave this world in the bright hope of finding a better. Without any special advantages in the way of education, in very early life he was placed in a printing office—that "college" from which have emanated so many great men, so many bright intellects, such a number of leading minds—a profession which, in this country, governs and guides the popular mind. In the printing office he not only pursued his business with alacrity, but in his leisure moments was constantly engaged in reading and studying standard authors—progressing in mental culture step by step. He had something of a poetic turn of mind. How could it be otherwise, when his mother is recognized as one of the most gifted poetesses in the South? Her son often felt the lofty inspiration—often did he sip nectar from the mount of Parnassus; but his innate modesty forbids his permitting such efforts as he committed to paper to see the light. How many chords of the lyre within the poet's heart have been dumb to the world's ear! With his taste for refined and elevated literature, he possessed a strong practical feeling, and that rare faculty called "common sense," which is the true index of real greatness. From his youth up he read and thought much of the omnipotence, the justice, and the mercy of God. He possessed a remarkable veneration for the incomprehensible, immaculate, and glorious Jehovah. He connected himself with the First Baptist church in 1842, and was baptized by Rev. Dr. Howell, in company with several other young gentlemen of this city. For a time, the printing office, he entered upon the study of law in the office of Hons. A. O. P. Nicholson and Russell Houston, under whose tutorship he was soon enabled to obtain license to practice at the bar. He was induced, however, soon after to take charge of the "Daily Gazette" of this city as its editor—a position which gave him an opportunity to display his intellectual attainments before the popular mind. Subsequently, he took charge of the columns of the "Nashville Union." In the presidential canvass of 1852, partisan feeling ran high, criminations and recriminations were common with editors of opposite opinions. Such was the fierceness of political warfare, he had a personal difficulty with a gentleman at the head of an opposition organ, and was severely wounded by a pistol shot, which caused him much suffering. On the 1st of August, 1854, Mr. Marling was appointed by President Pierce as American resident minister near Guatemala. He immediately issued his valedictory to the readers of the Union, and took his departure to Central America. After a residence of nearly two years in Guatemala, and his health becoming enfeebled, he obtained leave of absence for the purpose of returning to his native land. His indisposition increased to such an extent that he was compelled to stop for several days at New Orleans under medical treatment. Finally, he reached his home in the vicinity of this city, and again put his foot on his own threshold at Oakland Cottage, where wife and children, mother and kind relatives, gladly welcomed him. For weeks past, he suffered?disease slowly wasting away his frame, until death came and took him to the spirit-world?to that untrodden land from whence no traveler returns. He was willing to die, feeling that reliance upon God which the Christian only can feel. He went in peace. He left no bitter pangs behind, no animosities, no resentments. He freely forgave all, and was as freely forgiven by Him who rules in the high courts of heaven. His numerous friends will long remember his virtues, his talents, his nobleness of soul, and his triumphant departure to the world of glory. The electric spark - At the London Royal Institution, on a recent occasion, the instantaneous duration of an electric spark, and the means ingeniously contrived by Prof. Wheatstons to measure it, were illustrated by the original apparatus employed by the Professor; from which it was ascertained that the duration of the spark does not exceed the twenty-five thousandth part of a second. A cannon ball, if illuminated in its flight by a flash of lightning, would, in consequence of the momentary duration of the light, appear to be stationary; and even the wings of an insect that moves ten thousand times in a second would seem at rest. IMPROVEMENT OF PRINCIPLES. A wise Providence, in momentarily stopping the tide of resistance to slavery extension, is but giving time for the flood to strengthen. The check of local defeat will banish that. Rural, confident which infected the republican ranks. Y. Times. We are glad to perceive that the Times begins to understand the character of the republican party sufficiently to believe that Providence has interposed in Pennsylvania for the purpose of even momentarily stopping the further progress of its treasonable designs against this Union of States. We believe that an overruling Providence is not only "momentarily," but permanently, stop the progress of the tide of fanaticism, folly, and wickedness, which has been for some months past beating against the constitution and the Union, and will preserve this nation to fulfill a great mission upon the earth in behalf of civil liberty and the right of self-government. The Times will thus believe as its faith in Providence grows stronger. Its attempt at explaining the purpose of Providence in arresting the progress of republicanism is more ingenious than honest. We do not believe that the mantle of Daniel has fallen upon the editor of the Times, and that he has a commission to interpret the manifestations of the Deity.

Interesting from Havana. The steamer Black Warrior, with Havana dates to the 16th instant, arrived at New York on Monday night. It was reported in Havana that a Spanish brig-of-war has 6,000 stands of arms on board, destined for the use of the Spanish faction against the Dominican republic, to be taken down in a few days by an officer of the Spanish army, and that the annexation of the west end will be insisted upon by the Spanish as another gem to the crown of Spain. Everything is prepared for the invasion of Mexico as soon as the expected orders to that effect arrive from Madrid. The Warrior landed at Havana.

The mm abelal ExnisrnoE of the Maktlaed State Aobicultubai, Societt.?This great exhibition commenced on Tuesday at Baltimore. The Baltimore American of Wednesday says: "The weather yesterday was clear and beautiful, a fine autumn day; and our citizens took advantage of it in unusual number, to attend the opening of the Agricultural Fair and Cattle Show, and in all parts of the enclosure throngs were to be seen cluttering around the horse stalls inspecting the blooded stock, admiring the feathered tribe which is on exhibition in great variety—and watching the working of saw mills, threshers, and other machinery—passing hither and thither, from one interesting object to another, all the day long." In speaking of the horse-track, the same paper adds: "The horse-track, or ring, is one of the chief points of attraction, and during the continuance of the fair will be the gathering point for the thousands who take pleasure in seeing the exhibition of strength, speed, and endurance brought out from the fine specimens of horse flesh on exhibition. The ring is one-third of a mile round and is well arranged for display, though the track is too soft to permit the fast nags to do their best." Of the animals exhibited, the American says: "The exhibition of bloodhounds was also very good, and attracted the keen attention of judges and amateurs. The trial of speed of horses in single harness was, however, the feature." Of the L., enter the vast majority and the trials of speed close enough to excite horns, drivers, and spectators. We extract from the same source an account of an accident which occurred while the sport was in progress. Flourishing to the same source an account of an accident which occurred while the sport was in progress, the horse, in the rear, ran violently into it, and the horse started towards the center of the enclosure, where he judged spectators, and a number of vehicles were standing. The frightened horse pitched out, held on manfully, and was dragged alone on the ground until general fears for his safety were entertained. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Alexandria, Loudon, and Dublin railroad was held in Alexandria on January 1st. The report which was read by the President showed that with a subscription of $75,000 or $100,000 from the county of Loudon, the early completion of this road to the Hudson River and in Winchester, would be secured; without such a subscription, that the work between Clark's Gap and that river would perhaps be secured to and raised from $200,000 to $250,000. Depot grounds, both at Alexandria and Leesburg, have been secured, and the work already under contract is divided into two sections, one of which is a charge of Mr. R. O. Bowie, the other has been given to Mr. R. Randolph. We make the following extract from a synopsis of the report of the chief engineer, C. P. Manning, esq.: We, pursuant to the report that ground had been broken between Alexandria and Clark's cut-off, and the gradation and masonry then existing, we deduct the first named sum and a balance of $30,000 per month, which, though not paid, would not be paid. "Advanced the work to that stage of which we confidently hoped. The work now in progress embraces the grading and masonry of the 40 sections already alluded to. One piece of work, the result is that nearly all the work is executed. A very sixteenth section terminates at Leesburg, and hence reports that in nine sections, it is estimated that at least $305,000 will be necessary for a road could be sufficiently prepared for a road. The total cost of the work is $50,000. It is stated that the Jackson Democratic Association are making arrangements to attend the Democratic meeting which takes place at Laurel Factory on the 30th inst. Round-trip tickets will be issued by the railroad company to those who wish to unite in council with the democracy of that place. The president of the board of common council laid before that body at its last meeting a communication from the mayor recommending the appropriation of $300 for grading and gravelling Fourth street, east from East Capitol street to Pennsylvania avenue; and, also, recommending the appropriation of $393 for extending the grading of First street east to the end north of the cut north of C street north, and for gravelling the same street from the north side of B street north to the north side of A street north. Five frame dwelling-houses belonging to Mr. John Lachan were consumed by fire on Monday night last, in Alexandria. The fire originated in the house at the north end of the block, which was unoccupied at the time, and was no doubt the work of an incendiary. The houses were insured in that city. BY TELEGRAPH. Arrival of the City of Baltimore. Philadelphia, Oct. The City of Baltimore, from Liverpool, arrived at Philadelphia this evening. The London Post's correspondent, writing from Paris on the 7th, says that the Boers rallied under the effect of the report of the Minister of Finance, and restored confidence in reference to the exaggerated rumors which had been circulated for several days. The London Times says: "The effect of the measures adopted by the Bank of England is complete, and all pressure for money, both at the bank and in the discount market, has subsided. Foreign exchanges received a favorable impulse. The Bank of France is again purchasing gold, and the final quotations of French thres showed an improvement of 1/2 franc." SWITZELANO.

He repulsed them, and drove them into the city, which he attacked, and the battle lasted until midnight. At daylight the next morning a courier arrived from Granada with the intelligence that a native and Canadian force of 1,000 men had besieged the latter place. Walker immediately left Masaya for Canada, and arrived upon the heights surrounding the city on the morning of the 13th. He found the city barricaded by the whole force of the enemy. He charged and drove them from their posts, carrying their commander, all their field pieces, and routine them from the city with great slaughter. The enemy's loss was only 1,500 men killed and 30 wounded. The small garrison, assisted by the citizens of Granada, defended the public buildings for 22 hours, before Walker's arrival. It was believed that Walker would immediately renew his attack upon the main body of the invaders at Masaya. The troops were all in fine health and exuberant spirits. Messrs. Lawler, Wheeler, and Ferguson, American citizens, were murdered by the natives. Pemerton, March.
