occurred at Si.ver Uvu, Ala., between Mr.

ia which Howard waa atabbod with a kntie

Mtorrn In Mobile Hay.
Tho Mobile papers of Monday and Tues
day come to hand fttlFof accounts of dtsaa
tors by a great storm which swept over that
const on Saturday last. Tho wind during
tho day blew a galo Irotn ilia north, and
about midnight changed to the south-east,
reversing the waters of tlio bay in their
usual course and Hooding tho city- The
water overflowed tho lower floors of tho
stores not raised above the ground, and ol
■MU lojQfjr bt goods waa very great. The
strong wind also blew down tnuuy brick
walls of unfinished houses, chimneys, fen
ces, trees, Ac., and utiroufed a number of
houses. Many of the wharves ol the city
and other places along tho const wero swept
away. Thu steamer Junior was Mown
crosswise up Dolive's creek, and rests up
on either bank, with no support amidships ;
■he will probably bu totally lost. At Grant’*
Pass, the Light-huuve waa Mown dow n
and several dismasted vesatla tvate aocn.
Five sailors were awept from a fishing
■mack and drowned, and it is feared other
lives were lost, ■■ other fishing boats have
bean found capsized in tho hay.
The Gale on tho Gulf,
The most terrible disaster by the gale of
Haturduy, yet reported, occurred at Proctor-
vitte, on Luke llorgne. The town was com
pletely inundated, end a number 'of lives
were lost— probably 30 in all. The cars
from New Orleans could not get within four
miles of tho town on Saturday evening, the
water being four feet deep over the Railroad
track. Milnrburg, at the Lake end of tho
Poncbartrain Railroad, was also overflowed,
and the inhabitants escaped in boats. The
sloop Exile, of Mobile, was wuter-l.tggnd,
but her crew were taken nfl' by the steamer
Oregon. The schoourr William Colquitt
flom New Orleans for Havana, was blown
ashore and wrerked—no lives lost. Seve
ral other small tosscIs wero blown ashore
and left high and dry, near the Passes at
tho mouth of tho Mississippi. Several
lives were lost thore. Tho water overflow
ed the entire parish of Plaquemines, below
Now Orleans. At Mr. Uiquliart’a pi.
lion, about 30 persons lost their lives.
Wflkerson lost five or six negroes. The
orange, rice, and other crops along the low
er coast, were destroyed.
tT'The tale which the Breckinridge pa*
pera of the South are rirculalitig about a
fusion of the Douglas and Breckinridge
parties in Pennsylvania is all bush. It was
a Breckinridge committee meeting that re
solved in lavor of fusion. The Douglas
men would have nothing to do with it—-
could not honorably have thus recognized
the laQliou that disrupted tbe patty. They
were to have held their owu State Couvcn.

their owu decimal ticket on that day.
control the patronage and power of the
Government, and all eoemie# of the Ad
ministration would be factionista and ene
mies of the Democratic party. Hence,
having an eye to ita own preservation in
the future, neither wing can afford to per-
mit the auccesa of the other. It ia belter
for either that tho Oppoaition ahould suc
ceed than its Democratic rival; because, if
the Opposition go into power, the two Dem
ocratic divisions may unite as equals in an
tagonism to the Administration—they can
then avoid tho question which i# regular
ami orthodox. It is not at all strange,
therefore, that tbe Breckinridge Democracy
in New Jersey have volnntarily adopted a
part of tbe Bell Electoral ticket, or that a
portion of the Douglas parly in Kentucky
helped the Bell candidate in tbe recent
election in that State. The very same in
stinct and reason which prompted them to
these affiliations with the Constitutional
Union party will more strongly urge them
to pursue the same course in tbe Piesiden-
tiat election. We vciily believe that many
thousands of Democrats, both Breckinridge
and Douglas men, will in that contest feel
more anxiety and hope for the success of
Bell and Everett than many of our own
party will fed *, and the reason which wc
have stated above affords a satisfactory so
lution of the apparent paradox.
There is, however, a turn which tbia fed-
ing may take at the North, that gives ua
apprehension. It »• »cry much Vo be ieared
that the Breckinridge men in some ol tbe
Northern Slates, in their anxiety to defeat
Douglas, and distrusting tbe stienglh of
tbu /fell and Everett ticket, may aid Lin
coln in their paramount desiro to prevent
Douglas from getting Ibo vote* of their re
spective Stoles. There is no doubt what
ever of a wide-spread sympathy at the
North between the friends of Lincoln and
those of Breckinridge. Our Ohio corres
pondent, iu a letter which we published a
short time since, end in another which wc
give to-day, alludes to this feeling, and we
find in our exchanges abundant proof of the
truth of what lie writes. We intend soon
to allude more particularly to the evidtncee
„1 a sympathetic coalition between the
friends of JJrcckmridge and the supporters
of Lincoln in Northern Stale*.

TUe New York Herald.
We copy from ita column# an article
showing that this pliant paper is again urg
ing the concentration of all conservative
it the North around the Bell and Ev.
ticket as the only one that can boat
Lincoln in that rrgion. A few weeks
it was deceived by the boasts of the Houth-
era Breckinridge brawlers into tho belief
that tbe Breckinridge and Lane ticket was
the one which would sweep the Southern
and Middle Ntatrs, and was therefore tho
olio for the Northern conservatives to rally
■ round. But the late elections and other
indication# have convinced it of the error of
this opinion, end hence the change.
We jlflLD<4J|^thgm irm!f«Fbn~account
of any regard for tbe political opinions of
the Now York Herald, or any confidence
in its sincerity. It is, we believe, a politi
cal weathercock, whose indsx a month
hence no onu can foretell. But it ia a
shrewd i bierver of parlies and popular cur
rents, aud always wishes to float with the
tide. Hence, though variable as tbu weath
ercock, liko that contrivance, it indicates
tho tendency of the popular breeze and ad
justs itself accordingly. It was too hasty
in veering at the fust wbifl' of the Breck
inridge blowers ; but it is a laithlul index
of the popular current now. Tho rising
and swelling Bell and Everett brerxo is
sweeping all before it like a hurricane.
MUaoUrl ICIectiou.
The St. Louia Republican (Douglas) of
the 11th gives returns from 44 counties.—
They sum up—C. F. Jackson, (Douglas)
37,662 ; 8. Orr, (Bell) 34,500 ; Gardeuhire
(Lincoln) about 4,000; H. Jackson (Ureck-
nridge) 2,504. It was considered doubt
ful whether Jackson or Gardeohire would
be last iu tho race. Aha, poor Ureck ! Tha
probability ia that C. F. Jackson, Douglas
deni., has been rlected Governor by a amall
majority over Orr. If the /ireckitr* can do
only a little better in November (say if they
can got 10,000 votes out of 130,000 in a
strong Democratic slave State,) Bell is sure
to gel tho vole of Missouri. J. If. Clark*
E. H. Norton, J. W. Ileid, J. 8. Phelps
and J. W. Noel, Doughs Democrats, J. S.
Rollins, Opp., and F. I*, /ihir, Black Rep.,
are elected to tbe next Congress. All Dem
ocrats in tho present Congress. The Leg-
islature will probably contain a small Doug
las majority.
t3TTha Raleigh Standard, the leading
Democratic paper in North Carolina, ad-
mils that the late election in that Stall
“probably exhibits the strength of panic
more accurately than any that has occurred
since 1N60.'* This admission not only con
tradicls the claim of the Democracy here
abouts that the ad valorem question wn
the pivot on which the election turned, but
it also grants that the Democracy of the
State weie united in support of their ticket.
It is therefore an iudirect admission of a
coming overwhelming delcat in November,
for the frienda of Douglas are now organ
izing separately, and no reasonable man
disputes that they will draw off a vote #'
least three or four times as great as Ellis
majority. We believe that it will be six o
eight times aa large.
Thera haa naver assembled in Georgia a
body animated by so resolute a spirit, and
so firm aryl confident in its effoit to secure
tbe triumph of its cause. The old spirit u
the pest baa been rr-awskenrd, and all over
the Stale we shall aoon hear tha re-echSing
allying people. They are gath

of demagogues who have made its dearest

they have aroused at last to a true apprecia
tion of the dangers ahtsd, and by the over
whelming defeat of sectional party agitation
both North affd South, they will reitore-
that quiet aud security which the countiy
haa not enjoyed for many years.
“A llail Uxruac Hotter than Noue.”
Tho ’Ibnes makes a moat "lame and im
potent" attempt to console itself and read
ers with the hope that Missouri and Ken
tucky are not irretrievably lost to Breckin
ridge, but that he may yet carry those
fiKatss in November! All that is needed
demonstrate tbe absurdity of such a
hope, is an examination of a few figures.
Iu Missouri, as far as heard from, the vote
stands about thus, in round numbers: C.
F. Jackson, Douglas, 37.5U0 ; 8. Orr, Bell.
34,500; Gardenbire, Lincoln, 6,000; if-
Jackson, Breckinridge, 2,600. Hopeful and
credulous indeed must be the politician
who can find in these returns a justifica
tion for even a doubt that Breckinridge
will he ignominiously beaten by both Bell
and Douglas in Missouri. The Timet says
that the Black Republican# helped Bell, and
the friends of Breckinridge helped Douglas !
because tbu latter had tbe regular organi
zation in the 8tale. The returns show that
outside of 8t. Louis the Black Republicans
voted their full strength fur their own |
ticket, and in Ht. Louis they in part helped
tho Opposition in the hope that the latter
would help them to elect their county
tiekyt. Tbe Douglas 8tate ticket, it is
true, hod the prestige of regularity ; but
Itie Uteckitmdg*) ticket was brought out
earlier slid in a more authoritative way tbuu
the Opposition ticket, and if its supporters
had had any considerable strength in the
8tato they would have rallied for it. Wo
do not believe that they constitute one-
third of the Democratic parly of the 8late,
because the Lave made but little butler
show in the county and Congressional
election* than they have in (be voto for
Governor. But, as wu bavu said before,
wu ahull bu rrjaict-d if they are rual-
ly much stronger, because, if they can
give Breckinridge evqu 12,000 or 16,000
votes in tho 8tale, it ia sura for lieII ; and
they ought to hu sblu to do this in a 8|jtu
voting 126,000.
In Kentucky, says the Times, the Doug-
i men voted for Combs, the Bull Camil
la, and this accounts for bia heavy ma
jority. Now look again at tha figures, and
see how ridiculous tins pics appears. In
04c, ;““i i .',-.'. l -«g|;* u !'vii'„i| l n7;
8,677. Now, if tb. JJougla« m.
for Combs prevented him from being beab u
by McClarty, Combs, must have received
* I Douglas votes, for that is the differ-
ence between 46,800 and 25,507. AJd
these 21,200 to 8.677, Bulling’# vote, and
wo have 20,877 as the Douglas strength in
the 64 counties, against 26,607 for McClur
ly f Would this help Dreckinridgo uuyl I
only shows that Douglas is stronger tbm
Breckinridge in Kentucky, the latter's own
8ute ! This being th« esse, according to
the Times'own showing, is it not afaice
to keep Breckinridge longer before the p» o-
pie, inasmuch as he only distracts his party
iu the 8outhern Htates ? It ahould be re
membered, too, Ibet the Breckinridge nom- |
inee had the prestige of regularity iu Ken- I
lucky—having been nominated by tbe reg-
ular Convention of tho whole party, to
which he and Bolling both submitted Ibair
claims. As we said before the election, we 1
think that Bolling did not act in good faith j
in running alter ho had been defeated for
the nomination, and no doubt on tbia ac
count as many Douglas men voted fur Mc
Clarty in Kentucky, as the Breckinridge
tuen that voted for C. F. Jackson in Mis
souri. “It's a bad rulo that won’t w< rk
both ways." But the truth is, tho recent
Kentucky election proves that Bill can
beat both wings of the Democracy united
in that State, as. we begin to believe, he
can in neatly every Mate, North or South.
'J hc»e Muaoutt and Kentucky elections
prove tho truth of out predictions made
weeks ago, when the //rcckinridge Democ
racy wore Mowing a loud horn and claim
ing the whole South and a majority of the
North for their candidate. We then said
The Douglas Convention.
This body, which met in Milledgeville
on Tuesday, was quite an impoamg demon
stration of the strength and epirit of the
supportera of Douglas and Johnson. Fifty-
nine counties were represented by one hun
dred and seventy-nine delegates. It will
| not do to say that such a congregation of
delegates, animated by the xeal and resolu
tion which they evinced, have only a few
hundred voters in tbe Sta'-o of Georgia to
back them—tbe assertion ia simply ab»urd ;
and if our Breckinridge friends lay any
auch “flattering unction to their souls,"
they will recover from a stunning defeat in
November with as much bewilderment and

Ed. Enquirer:—On last Wednesday,
the 8ih inst., the Hen. E. 8. Siioktkk, the
Breckinridge Elector for this District, ad
dressed the people of Lawrcncevdle, Henry
county, Ala. He presented Brockiuridgo
us the National Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. I was the more surprised
I-,,,;,
thing national as unreliable and rotten ; hut
now a President is to bo made, and lh»y
aru extremely National! Upoo this occa
sion Mr. 8ttOHTia, thinking ho bad the
field to himself, occupied the enliru ground
of the Democratic party, which ia “when
they are iu Rome, they do as Romo docs."
He denounced tho squatter sovereignly
doctrine almost as treasou. forgetting that
while he was in Congress, he voted fourteen
times lor a Speaker, who openly advocated
this uino doctrine. Ho seema to have for
gotten that he ever repudiated the National
Democratic Party, in hia denunciations ol
the opposition parly as aectionaltsts and
diauniooiats; and also denouncing 8. A.
Douglas for advocating tbe same principle#,
which ho sustained ly fourteen consecutive
votes while he was in Congress. You
would have thought, to have heard him,
. that be had ever been the fearless defender
I and strict adherent to the National Demo
cratic Party. But alas ! for the gentle
man, after hia empty dxlamstions, there
was a call for the youthful Gaiu'Nz.i, who
claimed to represent the Douglas party,
and be catno forth, David-like, panoplied
with truth, and the record#, to battle with
the Goliah, and slaying him with his own
votes and declamations, proving him at one
tirno a squatter sovereignly man, then a
Southern rights man ; at ono time a Na
tional democrat, thru denouncing tbe Na
tional Democracy ; in fine, a warm advo
cate for any policy for the success of hi*
party. He did at one time take the wrong
road, for instance, when he joined tha outer
ol Kuow-nothinge or Americans, for which
I believe he has atoned to his party. Go-
liah-like, ho thought to spurn the youthful
limit Gauunkh from the stand, by denying
hi* authority as a deputy of the Douglas
Suobter, *p-
Icrior in their medicinal qualities to Shatou
