We received nothing farther from the New York election by the Express Mail yesterday. The following gentlemen were on Monday last elected by the Legislature, Solicitors for their re spective Circuits: Mr. Owens, Solicitor of the Eastern Circuit; Mr. Foster, Solicitor of the Ocniulgce Circuit; Henning, Solicitor of the Chattahoochee Circuit; Lumpkin, Solicitor of the Cherokee Circuit. Mr. Onne, was on the same day elected State Printer, The amount of Cotton exported from St Marks. Florida, from the Ist of October, 1837, to the Ist of October, 1838, is 28,055 bales. From this it appears that the commerce of Middle Flor ida is by no means inconsiderable. k Foreign News Expected. The Liverpool packet ship Oxford—day of sailing 7lh October—was reported below at New York on Saturday afternoon the 10th inst. * Mclntosh County Election. We learn from a gentleman who arrived in the stage from Darien, last evening, says the Savan nah Georgian of Wednesday last, that Mr. Chas. 11. Hopkins, was on Monday last, elected a rep resentativc to fill the vacancy occasioned in the House of Representatives, in consequence of Mr. '■Mabrcy declining to take his'seat. The following was the result: Districts. State Rights. Union. Hopkins. Powell. Darien, 111 20 Sand Hills, 13 9 Neck, 22 19 14G 48 48 Hopkins’ majority 93 Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Election took place on Monday last, the result of which we will receive in a few days. The Whig candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, are Gov. Everett and George Hall —the administration candidates arc Marcus Morton and Theodore Sedgwick. Letters from Cincinnati under date of the 7th instant, say that it had rained incessantly for thirty hours, and the river was rising rapidly. Gov. Marcy of New-York, has designated Thursday, the 29th day of November, instant, to be observed ns a day of Public Thanksgiving. The same day has been appointed throughout New-England, and in Michigan. From our Correspondent. Baltimore, Nov, 9. The great contest is over, and from every part of the Empire Slate, the most cheering tidings come. There is little hazard in declaring that New-York is with the Whigs in every depart ment of her representation—Gubernatorial, Con gressional, and the State Legislature. The bulletins from the city, give most ani mated accounts of the campaign. They bring very vividly before us the whole camp of the Ja nizaries ; and truly it must have been a deplora ble spectacle 1 The dispirited infantry—the broken cavalry—the drunken legion of riotous auxiliaries—the mutinous ofiicers—the disordered tents—the whole field strewn with the fragments of shattered corses and broken armor. The hurrying to and fro of Government officers—the j » ’■' movements of General Hoyt, (the collector) and the clouds of his adjutants despatched in every direction—the deep-toned and moving appeals of i ’ Major General Frances Wright Darusmont, to the i infidel host—the exertions of Major Cambreleng, . I at the Murine Court manufactory of native Amc- 1 1 meiicans—the terrors of the flying legion of Cro -X ton watermen, when they found themselves dis > pr | covered by the Whig spies on the watch for illc •Si 6 a ' voters—the conduct of Mackenzie, and his ' '"CI Canadian tatterdcmalians who were unable to I pass themselves off as Americans, because they I could not speak English, all arc detailed with t great spirit and power. These movements have i been of no avail. The constitutionalists have de [ seated the spoilsmen in the very field of their IB length. II Our Whig brethren in New-York, and through > B out the Union, may well be congratulated on the S 9 defeat of that mischievous pretender C. C. Cam- H brelcng. In his overthrow, the administration e been signally rebuked and humiliated. He ■Jj was its organ—its mouth-piece—its tool—com 1, plying—unscrupulous—dcgradingly subservient.

Can ho, and Camhrcleng, after all they have preached about the right of jurisdiction, con tinue to hold on to their seals I Twice have the people of New-York, in the most unequivocal manner declared their opposition to the Sub- Treasury scheme, and told these men they do not represent their wishes, feelings, and determi nations. Let them look to the example of Mr. Kilgore, of Ohio. He regarded the election of the Sub-Treasury candidate in his district, ns in structions to him. That expression of the popu lar will was decisive with him. He practised what he professed—he resigned. M. ——— —• —* The Lake fisheries arc beginning to excite much attention, from their immense value, and the monopoly of them at present by the. two com panies, British and American. The species of fish caught are principally trout, salmon and while fish; and the quantity put up in 1837, from Lake Superior, and other lakes, twelve thousand bar. rcls, of which 7000 were from Superior alone. Total value §lOB,OOO. We copy the following remarks in relation to movements, men and matters at Milledgeviile from the Correspondence of the Constitutionalist of yesterday morning. MitLr.nnr.viLtE, Nov. 13. Now that the elections arc over, and the ex citement they naturally produce has subsided, the Legislature will proceed to the important business of the session. The most important subject which seems to engross all minds, is that of internal improvement, not internal improvement as here tofore, embracing a few appropriations for rivers, creeks, and common roads, but internal improve ment embracing the construction of rail roads and canals at an expense of millions of dollars.— The subject, as it is now considered, is of vast importance to the State, and may, by the action of the Legislature upon it, be productive of results the most ruinous or of lasting benefit to the state. The subject then should be approached with much caution; and the future welfare of the peo ple of Georgia requires that prudence should pre side at the deliberations of our legislators, and that the plan they may adopt should have a solid foun dation. But lam afraid nothing of the kind is in contemplation. Those interested in the con struction of rail roads appear to care very little for the prosperity and future welfare of the whole State, provided their particular interest can be promoted. Provided they can obtain the credit of the State, they have no feeling for the losses that may be incurred by the public. And lam sorry to find that a system of log rolling is now in progress to insure a majority in the legislature in favor of pledging the credit of the State to an unlimited extent. It is to be hoped, however, that there will bo virtue independence and patri otism enough inlho Legislature to withstand the allurements of anticipated wealth, so much pro mised by the leaders of a phalanx not to be de spised on account of their talents and influence. I have been, and am still, a warm friend of inter nal improvements. lam in favor of the State pledging its credit for rail roods and canals; but of such rail roads and canals which arc ascertain ed to be needed, and to comport with the popula tion and resources of the State, as they now stand. I must oppose all rail roads and canals in sections of the State where nothing is to be seen but wilderness, and where the incomes of such improvements would not pay for their re pair. It will be much better for the legislature to do nothing, than to adopt a system of internal improvements, which may ruin the State, though it might enrich a few individuals. I have made an estimate, from the information I have been enabled to obtain, of the amount which several rail road companies would require, and obtain if the log-rolling system lie sanctioned by the legis lature; and this amount would be near ten mil lions of dollars, exclusive of the amount neces sary to complete the State rail-road to its termina tion on the Chattahoochee. Let a prudent course be pursued by the legislature, and a wise distri bution of the credit of the State be made, and the people will be satisfied ; but let extravagance pre side over the action of the legislature, and an in discriminate and unlimited pledge of the credit of the State be given, the people will curse those who will have been most instrumental in pro ducing injury and ruin to the State. In the Senate this morning, the following stand ing committee were announced; State of the Republic. —Messrs. Branham, Billups, Echols, King, and Gordon. Judiciary. —Messrs. Miller, Bailey, Alexander, Floyd, and Holmes. Public Education and Free Schools. —Messrs. Haralson, Gibson, Camden, Junes of Greene, and Mauldcn. Internal Improvement. —Messrs. Gordon, Hansel), McFarland, A lien, and Maddox. Military. —Messrs. Williamson, Stell, Cleve land, Jones, and Foster. Several important hills were introduced this morning in the Senate, namely: By Mr. Jones of Paulding, to give the people the election of judges of the superior courts, so licitors, and generals. By Mr. Springer, to prevent frauds at elections, &c. and to divide the stale into Congressional districts. The bill to reduce the fees on grants in the late gold and land lotteries, was lust in the Senate this morning. The bill for the organization of a Supreme Court for the correction of errors, was taken up this morning in the Senate, and read a second tin e. On the question to commit or engross the bill lor a third reading, Mr. Cone of Bulloch mo ved to commit it to the Ist of June. On this motion the yeas and nays were called. 'Flic yeas were 23, the nays 59. A resolution was adopted this morning in the House to furnish arms to the Clinch Kitlciacn of Augusta. 'Flic committee appointed agreeably to a reso lution of the last legislature, to investigate the affairs of the Central Bank, made a report, of which 500 copies were ordered to be printed. As soon as I can procure a copy I shall send it for pub lication : the subject is of general interest. The convention miscalled “ Commercial,” after organizing, directed the appointment of a com mittee of 21, to report business. The convention met last night, and the President announced the 1 names of those who were to compose the commit- 100, of which Mr. Chappell of Macon is Chair man. Tiie convention will moot to-night to re ceive the report of the committee. The Convention which assembled at Augusta waste have linen rstvnl hilly a Commercial Con vention, for the purpose of devising means and plana for a direct intercourse with foreign nations. At the last Convention in Augusta, State Con ventions were recommended to he held for the same views and the same purposes. Will the State Convention, now assembled at this place, confine itself to the same views and the same pur poses? From certain circumstances which have already taken place in the Convention, I am led to believe, that direct importations will lie set aside, and the object of the Convention directed to banks and internal improvements, to the policy of pledging the credit of the State for rail roads and canals. If this course he pursued,—and I am afraid that it will, —no beneficial result will be produced by the meeting of the Convention : it will he a complete failure. It is to lie hoped, however, ns there are men of talents and influence in this Convention, that they will he able to give to tho proceedings that direction for which it was recommended to meet. I shall endeavor to pro cure a copy of the report of tnc Committee of 21, expected to be made to-night. Mormon War. The St. Louis slips of the 2d instant, repre sent tho Mormon War as actually commenced, which will doubtless end in the complete extermi nation of these unfortunate enthusiasts. The following slip is from the St. Louis Bulletin: “ Further Outrages —The people of the north western part of Missouri, are now in the midst of cival war, and wo believe it will never end, until every Mormon is exterminated or driven from the land. We have the following alarming intelligence by a slip from the office of the Mis souri W'alchmau. From Ihe Missouri Watchman , Oct, 29. C/JTT OF JCFFERSO V, Oct. 29. We have been requested by the Governor, to publish an extra of our paper, giving to the pub lic. the intelligence which ho, on yesterday, re ceived in relation to tho Mormon difficulties. Wc arc also informed that a force of three thousand men have been ordered to he raised and to march immediately to the aid of the sulfering inhabi tants. The outrages of tho Mormons, are of a character never before witnessed in a civilized country. They have now placed themselves in an altitude of open dolhmco of the laws of the land. The contents of the letters published be low shows, that they have driven the inhabitants of Davies county, from their homes—pillaged and burnt their dwellings, driven off their cattle, and have taken the lives of our people. They will now he dealt with as enemies, and as traitors to the country.

E.voi.nher Dki'., Cv:\Tn at. Hail Road. Savannah, October Slut, \S'M, J ' To W. W. Gonnojf, lisa. PraiiUyit, Sir. —Nearly six. months have elapsed since the date of my last report, and as you arc about to leave the city to he absent some weeks, I have . the honor to present you the semi-annual report of the operations of this department, and the pre sent condition to the work. The entire route, hence to the city of Macon, although not definitely located, has been so far determined as can bo done by experimental sur veys. A particular description of the line, ns then located to the point where it passes the Ogecheo river, was given in the report of the 10th of May last. From that point, it follows the val ley of Williamson's swamp, and crosses that stream irei v the “Double bridgesthen taking the south ernmost of the two southern prongs, ascends to the summit of the ridge separating the. waters of the Ogochce from those to the Oconee, which ridge ii crosses about two miles and a half south of the village of Bamlcrsvillo. An examination was made of the valley of Limestone creek, with a view of making the as cent bjf that stream; hut although vve should have saved about •} of a mile in distance by that route, the lino would have been objectionable, both in allignmcut and grades, which latter would have been undulating, and have frequently reach ed our maximum vale ofmclinalion, while on the line adopted, wo have a regular and gentle ascent to the summit. Having parsed the summit, vve avail ourselves of the valley of a prong of the head branches of the Ohoopec for a short distance; this takes us to the head of Sand Hill Creek, by which we descend to the Oconee river. The line down Band Hill, crosses several deep ravines, and cuts off points of hill, involving a succession of heavy excavations and embankments,rendering this part 1 1 the grading more expensive than the general average. The distance of this heavy w ork, however, is only about live miles, and will probably sot exceed air average of $20,000 per mile. We reneh the Oconee river near a spot railed “Rag-poin:,” about three miles above the mouth of Commissioners’ Creek, and sixteen or seven teen miles below Milledgoville. The River Swamp is hero about one mile wide on the east mid two miles on the west side—for this distance it will he most safe and economical to support tiro grade, by strong truss trod;; and if hereafter it should he deemed expedient to substitute an embankment through the whole or any part of the swamp, the ro.td will aflbrd the means of do ing it at comparatively a small cost. The river will he crossed by a bridge 200 feet in length, supported by stone abutments and a pier in the centre. The line having passed the river, follows the valley of Commissioners’ Creek, which affords a very favorable route. The foundation in the Creek Swamp wherever we touch it, is firm The line may lie located with very easy grades and gentle curves, for the distance of twenty-sov en miles up this creek ; at this point and thence to the summit, (5 miles) the country is similar to that described on Sand Hill Creek. Wo pass the summit dividing the waters of the Oconee from those of the Ocmulgce, at a point B,', miles from the city of Macon, on thoMilledgcvillcroad. Taking a branch of Walnut Crc k, wo here commence our descent to the Ocmulgce, which is cll'cctcd by following the valley of this stream. The ground is so broken and hilly in this re gion, that our lino is confined to the incanderings of the stream, and consequently varies consider ably from a direct course, the curvatures howev er arc generally easy—in no ease on a radius of less than 2000 feet. From the summit to the Ocmulgce, wo again have an expensive section similar to that down Band Hill Creek—making altogether about 2.0 miles of what may he termed (in comparison with the portions of our road now graded,) heavy work. This is no more than we have always expected—and when we look abroad and find that the average, cost per mile of the graduation of most of the roads in the United Stales, far exceeds that of our most expensive sections, wo have reason at least to bo satisfied with the natural advantages which the country affords for the prosecution of our enterprise. The total distance from the city of Savannah to the city of Macon by our lino, as above des cribed is 1!)C miles. Only 113 miles however being definitely located, there will probably in the remaining portion he some reduction of dis tance, occasioned by substituting curves for angle s, and making slight changes and improvements in flic experimental lines. »#»*»•» It was believed by many individuals of respec tability, residing in Tviilledgcvillc and its vicinity, t at our road might cross the Oconee river within a short distance of that place, not only without any material increase of distance, or cost, hut with great advantage to the interests of the company as well as benefit to that section of country ; and the Board ol Directors lining desirous that an ex amination should he made to ascertain whether any advantage would result to the company from such a location, an exploration and iustrumciit.il survey was accordingly made with that object. The resell was an increase of twelve mile:;, and us the point of divergence from the Commis sioners’ Creek line was above the most favorable portions of that line, and the route thence to the mouth of Camp creek being through a very un favorable country for a rail road, we should, in addition to the increase of distance, exchange twenty miles of very favorable lino, for the same distance of very expensive, making nearly tiro whole distance from Macon to the Oconee, heavy and costly work. The comparison would stand thus : Il f the Commissioners’ Creek line. From the point of divergence to the Oconee swamp, 20 miles of grading at $4OOO, $BO,OOO Crossing the Oconee swamp three miles, $lO,OOO, 30,000 Bridge over the Oconee river, 20,000 Total, $130,000 Il f the Camp Creel:, Han.

Ail advantage of a gentle ami nearly uni form grmlo down Commissioners’ Creek, while on Uioother lino wo arc ohligi il In undulato to tho extent of ourma.ximum rale of inclination, for nearly the whole distance. 4lh. Hy taking (he Camp Creek route, we .should violate a provision of our charter, which requires us to pursue the shortcut t pruciictihle rmlrfroin Saronnah to Macon, It may he proper here to mention, that the country on the east aide of the Oconee nllhrds a most favorable, route for the construction of a Hail Hoad from Milledgeville to our line. The grade would he almost one uniform inclination, and the low landshorderingon the <JconcoHwamp would require hut little excavation and embank* Hunt to form tho road lied. The grading of our read is now under con tract to a point 112 miles from the depot in (his city, and the contractors are hound to complete t to that point hy the first of March next. The timber for the superstructure is laid for the distance of 55 miles, and progressing at the rate of five miles per month. The iron is laid and tho road completed 40 miles. Our engines now run daily with the Macon mail and passengers to that point. The bridge over the Little Ogcchec is finished, and the grading, including most of tho bridges and culverts, done, fur a distance of TO miles. The force now employed on the line is about 500 men, and (lie contractors arc daily augment ing their forces, so that we, shall probably in a short time have three times the present number. Il is worthy of remark, that there has not been a contract relinquished or abandoned, since the commencement of the work. We have commenced the erection of the ma chine shops at tho depot i:i this city, which are to he of brick, and on a scale suited to the mag nitude of the eiilorpri/.0. A further distance of fifteen miles of grading is advertised for letting on the Ist of December, which will extend our work 127 miles from this city. 1 have often been asked the question, “ why do not the company commence work on the upper end of tho line7” Hindi a desire no douhl esislti with many persons deeply interested in the suc cess of the undertaking, residing in that part of the country : hut it is presumed (hey arc not aware of the dilllculties attending such a course. If our operations, which are at present widely extended, were no far enlarged as to embrace any portion of tho further extremity of the road, a separate establishment and organir.alion of su pervision and superintendence would he unavoida ble, The engineer corps would require to ho in creased, and whatever work might be clone, would not only ho unproductive of profit to the company, hut the excavations and embankments being ex posed to the weather, would by washing, deterio rate 8 or 10 per cent, before they could he brought into use. It will not for a moment 1.,- supposed that it would he expedient to haul tho iron for tho tracks in wagons, or even ship it v'u Darien for Macon ; such a course would add greatly to the cost without any equivalent benefit. 15y our present arrangement, the iron and other materials, as also most of the supplies to contractors are. carried forward hy our locomotive engines, and tho freight and passage money collected, not only 1 defrays the expense of this transportation, hut al -1 ready nearly pays the expense, of our mechanical establishment at the depot in (his city. '/'he advantages of keeping up a communica tion Irani (his end of the line a*; we advance with the work, and of finishing the work emitimmu.-dy, I am persuaded will strike any one who w ill take tho (rouble of reflecting on the subject. ■ 1 had intended to present you an estimate ot the cost of the whole rea l in (his report, hut tho time since the completion of the explorations and surveys determining tho western end of the line, lias been so short, that the ne.acaary computa tions for a careful estimate could not ho made. These surveys, however, have not developed any facts leading me to believe, the work will cost more than the original estimate made by Col, Crugcr, which you will recollect was a little over two millions of dollars, Tho surveys detailed in tho report, of the line passing near Milledgeville, arc also laid down in a blue line on the same map.
