State of the political Atmosphere in Ohio.

--Politics are running high in Ohio. The Chicago Times, of the 21st September, gives the following special dispatch, of the 19th, from Cincinnati:

An immense Democratic mass meeting was held in Carthage to-day, to hear a great speech from Vouchees, of Indiana. To-night an equally great meeting was held in Fifth street market place, to hear a speech from Judge Bartley.

At Lebanon, yesterday, as a Democratic procession was moving through the streets, Republicans were insolent, and threw stones. The Democracy rallied, and one Republican was shot dead. The excitement in Lebanon is very great, and further bloodshed is anticipated.

At Deerfield, to-day, a Republican named Thumb was shot dead by a Democrat named Lucas.

At Eaton, to-day, a very large meeting was held. One thousand ladies and gentlemen were on horseback. As a part of the procession was passing the depot, an indiscriminate attack was commenced by throwing stones into the procession. The Democracy dismounted from their horses and out of their wagons and took after the crowd, which fled. A delegation from Camden was interrupted by the Republicans of the place, by running a wagon with a saw-log on it across the road. The Democracy undertook to move the same and a fight ensued, in which five or six Republicans were shot, two mortally. Threats were made that the same delegation should not return home by that road. The delegation have armed themselves and will go that road or lay Camden in ashes.--Further difficulties in that locality are looked for.

These troubles are brewing in various portions of the State, and so badly scared are the opposition that they will resort to extraordinary measures to carry the election.--That they will import soldiers and voters into the State there is no doubt, while inmates of hospitals, all of which are full, will be given liberty to vote.
