scenes in TAMAN Y hall .—(Concluded.)
“Holloa, yon feller you, jist toss back that Hal
will you!” sung out the toll feller, a pitching for-
ed head over heels nrter his Iiat.
'•No I won’t. I'll be rumbusticated if I do;
sez the tother chap, a pushing toward the door,
bolding tho hat down with both hands, as if he
warnt used to them kind o’ things; “all fair in
'lection time. Hurra for equal rights!”
Jist then there come in a grist oftellers a yell
ing and a kicking up their heels like all possessed.
They’d brought up the news from one more
word.
"Who on arth can those critters be t” says I to
Captin Doolittle.
" Oh thafs a squad of the recent emportation;
don’t you see how tho hair’s all worn otf their
heads a carrying brick hods on ’em?” says the
Captin.
"Yon don’t say so; nowhy gracious how they
do blather out theso words, don’t they!” sez i,
hut I might ns well a been talking to a stone
fence, for jist that ininit the hull on wn sot up a
noise that was enough to make a fellers eye teeth
jump out of his head.
Did you ever hear four hundred thousand wild
cats ana bears, and wolves, and screech owls, a
squalling, and a howling. & a squeaking together!
ir you taint, there’s no use trying to moke you
have the least idea how that eternal crowd of crit
ters did hoot and yell. There they weie a e*clearn
ing, and a stomping, and a dancing, and a fiddling
allm a heap, till a feller comidn’t hear himself
think, and wouldn’t a known what he was think
ing about if he did hear. All to once a nan got
up and sez he, " Geutlemen, I have composed a
song for this stapendous victory, supposing we
sing it, now, afore the last news comes inf there’s
only two more wards to hear from. Arter wo've
sung sum one will make n speech. But you
needn’t stop dancing and fiddling on that account,
this is Liberty hall.” At this they sot up another
of these tarnation howls; "lloora for old Ta-
monv, the cradle nf Liberty*! Three rdtanrs for old
Tamony!”
"Now,”aez the singing man. "shallwe give
'em the song, I’ve gota'iot printed off, so that you
can all jine; them that don’t know how to read
can sing Yankee Doodle, or Hail Columbia, it
wont make no difference!”
With that he flung a lot of papers among tho
crowd, I hippened to catch one, jist as it was a
falling into the top of fellers hat, that hadn’t got
any crown in it, so I will send it to you jistas it
was printed out on die paper:—
"Sound your trumpets, bent your drums,
The Dimocratic triumph comes;
Banners are out, and colors are flying,
The city is ours, and the whig* are a dying,
Draw the fiddle, blow the fife,
Keep the ball a rolling.
Wo have had a glorious strife,
While the votes were polling.
Locofocu hnnga pairs
Tumble bugs and thunder,
Indomitable make our lairs,
The whigs art knocking under
We an dimoeraties all,
Onr country's brave defenders,
We hate given the whigs a fall,
We roarers and buU-cndtrs,
We will down with the paper banks,
We will down with laws, sir,
We will level men and ranks,
We are all huge paws, sir.
Some of us have got no hat,
Some no coat or trousers j
What do rich men care for that,
Who live in splendid houses f
Loeofoeo, huge paws, Sfc.
Some of us sleep in the Park,
Some in empty barrels,
Some prefer a nightly lark,
And some their morning quarrels—
While some, upouthc Chatham flags,
Will soon be soundly snoozing,
Covered with the glorious rags,
They have no fe.ir oflosing,
LoeofoeoJiuge pates, fa.
We have given the banks a blow,
The whigs a mighty licking—
We have hod a glorious row,
And left diem both a kicking.
We have raised our duly paws,
We have beat them holler;
What care we for banks or laws,
Who never I ud a dollar,
Loeofoeo, huge paws, Sfc.
Sound yonr trimnpets, beat your drums,
The Dimocratic triumph comes;
Banners ore out, colors uro flying,
The city is ours and the whigs are a dying!”
The way they roared out diis song was awful, I
can tell you. Some of’em sung in one tune and
some in another—every man went on his own
hook. The pussy Htlle feller pulled away on the
fiddle like all natur, and die chap with the skewed
nose made a plague/ squeaking with a split fife
that he had. The feller that hudn’t no crown in
hU hat bellered out Old Lang Syne, and I see an
other chap holding his p&per upside down, and
blowing away at Old Hundred like all natur.
When diey begun to drop off, for it warnt to be
j Uiat such a heap ef critters could stop ull
together, the pussy feller with the fiddle, yelled
out, "Hurra for the 8ong»—Three cheers for
Singer Jovonny Gilbertniny!” And then diey
went at it agin, u hooting and a tossing up their
hats—them that laid ’em—as if Old Nick himself
had kicked ’em on eend. By gracious! I dou’t
wonder they cull the fellers that inuke speeches
thore in Tammany Hull, "Sachems.” I don’t be
lieve such a lot of white iugiins ever got togedicr
before, or ever will ugin. There was one great
feller, as pussy as a bag of bran in harvest time,
that roared out his words like a hog'that had been
learaed to talk.
"That’s a Yorkshire man,” sez Captin Doolit
tle "I'U treat jf it aint.”
Wal, who on arth is that feller there a talking
to that little stuck up chip with the pciked
nose? What in the uaine of n itur docs he
mean, by his sprasfc s and his yatos? I'll be dnmd,
if I was the little feller, I’d jist tlmnk him unt to
bark in my face that way; lie opens his mouth os
if he was a going to awaller the poor critter hull,
every dme he speaks—do tell, who can he be
Captin ?
"Wal,” sez the Caplin," I don’t know sartin,
bull rather guess lie’s one of die Dutch fellers, by
his lingo. ”
" There, now, jiit look a there,’' sez I ahlnting
to a feller diut had jist come up to the Dutch
chap. Ho wasn’t over clean, anyhow, but he bad
a great brass htmdkuchcr-pin stuck in his bosom,
and he strutted so that a common chap couldn't
a touched him with a tun foot pole. I poked my
elbows into Captin Doolittle’s ribs, to try and
make bim tell me what he was;but he was a look
ing t’other way, and wouldn’t mind me. By -ain-
hy the feller begun to talk to the Dutch chap. Me
kept a flinging his arm about every which way,
and a jabbering over a mess ol lingo that was
enough to mitffbn man larf in his face. The
words ell ran together like warm's curd when the
cheVpe gets contrary and wont set. The Dutch
feller kept a opening his mouth, and once in a
while a word would couie out full chunk right jn
t’othcr’s face. Thinks sez I, if this aint a touch of
tho dead languages, it ought to bo, that’s all—for
it’s onought to mako a feller die richt off to hbar
it. He seemed to be Ashamed of himself at last
and begun to try to talk genuine American, but
he made awftil work ont. By-am-liy I found out
that he was a Frenchman; for a tall lathy feller,
dint I'd a took my Bible oath come straight off the
Green Mountains, went up to him. sort o'wrathy,
and sez he, " Hold youryop, you tarnal French
man ; if yon don’tlikethh country and what we’re
a doing, you’d better go back hum agin. ”
The french feller turned os red as a turkeys
topping and he begun to sputter away as mad os
could be. lint todier chap jist put his hands in his
pockets and sez—''you go to grass,” I dont know
what else he said for jist that niiuit tho all sot up
one of their almighty roars and yelled out—"a
speech, a speech. ” With that a feller with spec
tacles on, got up to make a speech and arter rolling
upon his shirt sleeves and spitting on his hands as
if he was going to chopping wood, he went at it
shovel and tongs.
I’ll be darn’d to dnmation if it didn't moke my
blood bile to hear how lie went on. Bitch a
stream o’talk I never did hear couio from one hu
man critter. At last I got so wrathv that I couldn’t
stand it no longer, and bust right out the ininut
he’d got through.
"Feller ettizens of New-York,” sez I, a mount
ing myself ou the wiuder cill and sticking my
right arm out as stiff as a crowbar, "I aint much
used to public speaking, but I must say a few
words.”
“Hurra for the Yankee—go it green horn—tin
us a speech, a rale downright dimocratic roarer!'
sung out uior’n a dozen on ‘’em, and all them a*
bout me turned their jaws up, and opened their
months as if I’d been sot up there for a show.
"Feller citizens,” sez I. "I’ve been a listening
to you hero this night, (they kept ns sdll us mice
now) and die rale American blood bos been biting
in my heart to see such canyings on, and to hear
such things said os that feller’s been a talking,”—
("Ilussle him out,” sez they; "throw him out;
go it ye cripples,”) but when diey got still, soz I,
"Since I’ve come here to this city I’ve almost
made up my mind tiiat there aint a genuine teto-
tal paint t among ye all, on die one udo or tother,
auil that the least shake of a truth would suit a
downright politic feller as well as water would a
mad dog, aud no better! ("Hurnt for the Yan
kee,” sez diey.) "Now,” sez 1, a sticking out
both anus to onco, "In revolutionary times it was
worth white to a public character to turn soldier,
or patriot, or vit politician, for in them times folks
found so much to do that they couldn’t git time
to lie so like all natur a* they Ho now. In them
glorious dines a feller could shoulder a bagonet
aud writo out his politics on the heart of die mne-
my, and dicre warnt no mistake in the hand wri
ting. (What a clapping and stomping they mado
here!) When they sung out liberty I reckon die
British knew the meauing on’t.” (‘‘Three cheers
for the Yankee,” says they again, "Three cheers
for the Yankee,” and then they hollered, and yell
ed, and whooped and stomped, aud whooped and
yelled agiu aud agin, like so inauy infernal di-
vils jist broke loose from a 1‘arson,—when sez I,
fori teas severed by the noise diey made, and :uy
hair stood up stiff as a tom cat’s diough I knew
Uie lnjuus \\ a» a praising me,—wheu, sez I agin.)
"Feller cititizen*. as true as I live, it eenuiost
makes me cuss aud swear to think on’t, when die
people of diese times sing out liberty, a feller
can't tell whether they mean to tear down a flour
store or roast a nigger alive.” But dont you
think, that when 1 got as fur as here, as much as
two thousand on’em was taken sick ull at once,
and in rale agony, but sez I, " I dont wonder tho
old Revolutionary Patriots die oil* so. What
Pvs seen to-night is enough to send every one on
’em into the grave with their tough old hearts
broken and their foreheads wrinkled widi shame
at the news they have got to carry to Gmcral
Washington in tother worid!”
I stopped to catch a little breath and was jist
poking out my arm agin to go on, for I felt us bold
as a lion, aud the words came a flowing into iny
mouth so thick, I could’n; but jist find room tor
’em. But the eternal pack of varmints set up a
yell, that would a frightened any man out a year’s
growdi, and afore I knew which eend my head
was on, diey got hold on incund pitched me down
atairs, and left me a sprawling in the gutter. Tho
first thing I knew I felt something a tloimdcritu
about under me, and a great black hog that hat
been a lying in the gutter give a grunt, and pitch
ed me forc’d on my fiiCe and weni off sque aim* •

Wal. I picked myself lip as well as I could, aud
I wont down to the Express office like a streak of
chalk. I found the tall editor a setting there coitut-
ingup some 'lection figures, of the way he wua
licked in the city, and he looked eciiaiuost tucker
ed ouu Seal, “Mister Editor, look a here,” and
with that 1 showed him where they'd bust out tho
bock of my coat a flinging ine down stairs, and
how dial plaguy hog had covered my new casi-
inere trowsers all over with mud. Sea he, and
he could’ut keep from larfin, "don't mind it Mr.
Slick; did’ntyou hear whata groan the whole
possey on ’em jist givo ine, you aee I don’t aeein
to mind it.”
“Yes," aea I.son awrothy, "bnt I guesa you
would ifthey’d a pitched yon into the gutter with
that tarnal hog!"
“Wal,” sea he, a trying to kocp from larfin all
be coul.l, “try it agin Mr. Slick,you'll getuse to
these tilings by aud bye."
“I'll he darned to ilarnation if I do, end that’s

I can't find nolhiug but politics lo write aliout, I'll
go back to Weatiiersfield about the quickest, I
can tell you that"
"Wal, never seem to mind it,” sea he, "you
can always find enough to write about, so we'd
jist aalive you’d let politics alone, because Major
Jack Downing 'ill take care oftheui."
Wal, thelongaud tho abort on it was, I got back

SAVANNAH!
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. SO, 1899.

rilAN SLICK.
NORFOLK, Nov 10.
From Bermuda.—We aro indebted to e com
mercial home in Uiia place for files of tho Bermu
da Royal Gazette to the 20th ult., which we
have looked over, aud gather the following
items:
The American schooner. Triumph, Capt,
Rurnham, out seven days from Boston, hound to
St Domingo, with an assorted cargo ofprorisons
and lumber, struck on the rocks to the North of
Bermuda, about 10 o'clock on Saturday Inst, and
was compelled to throw over her deck loud, con
sisting of 00,000 feet of lumber. Through assis
tance from the shore .lie was got off on the fob
lowing morning, aud taken into St Georges.
Tho slave schr Clara liad arrived at Bermuda
from New York, and was placed in the Court of
Admiralty to be deult with as a pirate,
The Gazette mentioned that the American Reg
isters found on board of the prizes made by the
British cruisers are said to bo obtained from Mr.
Tristat Havana, and that a greater number of
slavo vessels are now building in Baltimore than
were ever known before,
The Gazette seems unwilling to admit that
the crop in England is us short as it is represent-
ed it, be in the papers of the United Stales.
„ The intelligence of the suspension of the
I Jnludelphie and Baltimore banks, and the termin
ation or die war in Spain, was published in an
extra from tho Royal Gazette on the 29th ultimo.
The health ofthe Island was good. Nothing
ofcommereiul or general importance stirring on
the 2dth.
Ao Jonathan.—A school boy, I4 2years of ago,
eta public seminary not 100 miles Iroin Sinister,
being lectured by ids tutor for not retaining until
morning the lesson lie had learnt over night, and,
being asked the reason, replied, “ I don’t know,
sir, unless itis because IHleep wilhoutu nightcap,
end it evaporates before tho morning."
Dorset Chronicle.
A fad.—Thore is a man living not a thousand
miles oil', who lias hud 24 children by one wife, all
hale und hearty, IS of whom are males, capable of
hearing arms, “In pence prepare of war,” it a
good maxim,—Huron (Ohio) Ado.
D3*Tho Mull failed today, North of Chnrleiton.
KP At Newark, Ohio, wheat it selling at 56
cents, corn at 28 cents, and Flour at $5.
IKF Tho ordinary revenue of Pennsylvania ia
set down ill the Treasurer’s report at $1,900,000
annually while the expendituraa are reckoned at
$9,500,000or upwards.
KT The Philadelphia North American, says:—
We find the rumor of a speedy resumption on
tho part of our Banka to be aa we feared, a mere
rumor, at any rate for tho present. The cause
which was alleged to have led immediately to
their suspension, via: the demand for specie to pay
the Eastern debt still continues; and were the banka
now to resume before they aro more fortified by
the arrival or remittances or produce from the
West, It would nf necessity be merely nominal,
as the depositee in them have increased since the
suspension $1,800,000—nearly all of which are
for Eastern account, and aro waiting aouie favor-
nhle turn in the exchanges before being drawn
for.
THE CITY OF A THOUSAND ISLES.
Notwithstanding the beauty of Savannah, her
admirable position—either aa it regards peaco, nr
war—her noble arrangement of slrecta. so woll
suited to a warm climate—her enterprising,
weJ.lliy and Indefatigable Merchants—her noble
River and Rail Road—her hcaldiy position—liar
pure water—her ever green groves in the midst of
her squares and streets—her splendid Churches,
(one of them the finest in America)—her public
spirit and noble works of charity and beuevolenco;
notwithstanding all these, Savannah ia a sxtr-
dsdohtkr ! Her own mother, tho State of Geor
gia, has cast her off, and she has now and haa laid
to straggle single handed: nay, she haa to con
tend with a triangular rivalry—and tlio Legislature
of her own Stato playing iuto the hands of her
enemies oil the while.
The success of the Central Rsil Road is entire
ly owing to her, and tho enterprise of her sons
thus fur. Tho Legislature folds its arms and looks
on quite calmly, while it haa almost been demon
strated by actual experiment, that the Road com
pleted, though it bo only eighty miles, is capable
in course of time, from its great profits, of literally
building itself. Will the legislature let this be
the ease 1 Aro we to wait until Ilia profits of one
hundred miles may build the reiuaiuderl Surely
it will lend a helping hand this winter, and at least
lend tho credit of tire State for its speedy comple
tion—otherwise, ws fear the credit of the good
commonwealth, will suffer in a tenderer point
than its purse.
To return to our legitimate ohject. We spoke
in a former article sf the beautiful scenery as
viewed from our blcff, balconies and steeples, but
we said nothing of tie approach to the city.
When tiie traveller, in coining from Augnstnby
water, suddenly doublesa bend in the river seven
miles hence, the citybursts upon his view like the
rapidly changing scales of a theatre. The spires
seem literally to piciee the clouds, so high does
the whole loom shore the surrounding country—
then the buildings, rising nne above another, like
the rising tiers of our amphitheatre, gives an idea
of much greater magnitude than itreally posiesaes.
He naturally turns to his guide bonk, and is as
tonished to see that it only contains from fifteen
to twenty thousand inhabitants. The back out-
lines aro lost and merged in the surrounding for
ests—and there again hia eyo ia at fuult, but the
indistinctness of outline is fully compensated, by
the grandeur of tiiedisplay. Never have we aeon
a finer approach to a city th ui the one we are
attempting to describe. Mexico, with its many
bridges, aqueducts and cauaewnya, and old Slarn-
boul," with its domes and minarets, perhaps strike
tho eye more imposingly from their defined mag-
uitude and extent, but ineornpanibly less from
natural elevation nfposition and beauty of outline.
At the distance mentioned, all harshness in tho
coloringisiovllowedintoahazy,misty atmosphere,
peculiar we believe to views bordering on the
ocean. Let that bo aa it may—it has a charming
effect upon the prospect; but atlength the objects
of the picture begin to grow as those of a pano
rama when viewed fora length of time through a
glass, until the traveller stands beneath our bluff,
and tho mystery nf our magnified and inuldplied
houses and steeplea, stands revealed.
On the other side—the approach from Tilree
Light is equally fine, but differing iu character—
the route is more circuitous and the steeples elude
you as you wind about among the sea islands,now
bursting into view and vanishing like e looming
•hip, perched for one moment upon the clouds
and tho next seemingly buried beneath die waves.
We have seen a whole company of strangers lost
in admiration, on a bright autumnal morning, at
this novel steeple chasing; while onr own citizens
stood aloof with gratified pride and glistening
eye, saying to themselves in hearty gratulation,
’fur my own, my native home.
Savannah is a glorious old place—there is no
mistake about it, aud tis said, when once a man
drinks Savannah water, he will ever afterwards
have a longing for the spot. No ono here has
fuilh in any one’s going away permanently.
A friend shakes tiro hand of another, and tells
him good by, as he takes his departure for Texas,
perhaps, but he does it with a smile, and says, all!
you will be hack by and by.
Amidst all these subjects ofjust pridoand grati
fication, there ia one great draw-back—one great
blight upon file prosperity of Savunnali—ono that
drains her of half a million a year—leaves her halls
deserted—her churches empty—her business par
alyzed—hergniety crushed, and her growth essen
tially marred. It is absenteeism! tli.it bane of South
ern cities. No lady con be considered of tho
true houl Ion now-a-days, unless she at leaat onco
a year stands upon the Taldo Rock of Niagara,
and becomes re-baptised in that noble, fashionable
spray, or waltzes, or gallapades iu Bond and
Blceker-stroets, or Wnverly place; and no mus
taches aro tolerated with our beaux hut those that
have passed review in Broadway—and tho itago
box of tiie Park. We onco recollect to have
been standing upon the White Hull Pier, longing
in imagination, for some ariol voyager to waft us
to tho bright shores of old Georgia—with her
buluiy breezes, and genial climate, when u vessel
let go her anchor in tiie offing, crowded to suffo
cation with passengers. I could seo their heads
above tlio bulwarks and among tiie rigging, like
so many turkies iu a crowded coop. Him was
from Savunnali! Will tiie reader believe it, they
came to, New-York for health—and at that very
dying dally there with Asiatic
!' Oh tho beatilios of absenteeism—the
comisionc} of absenteeism—the health, the re
generating effects of absenteeism—tho profit of
absenteeism I rather, oh I the folly,’ the wickedness
of absenteeism.

THE LEGITIMATE FRUITS OF LOCO

property over a given amount la a monopoly.
Secondly—tlio tnarriaga tie is a fusty old rotii,
nnnt of a barbaric age, and should not be tal-
crated in no civilized community, which hat
hoard tho uow doctrines of muversat freedom
as taught by Fasxt Wbioht and RoaanT Dai.*
Owax. Thirdly—all days in the week ore alike,
end it is an evidenco of supersticious weakness
to set ono apart for the worahip of a Being whom
wo know nothing of. Fourthly—all ehnrchei are
an abomination in tiie aight of tiie Democracy,
and should bo sold nudor the hnimner, end tiie
spoils divided among the majority. Fifthly—jail
houses und penitentiaries are an abridgement of
tiie inalioiiahlo rights of man, and ahould bo love!
cd with die ground forthwith, or if retoinod at all,
should be reserved to incarcerate ihcriffs, consta
bles, magistrates and priesta. Sixthly—tlio Bible
is a cunningly devised fable, and should lie burnt
by tho cominan hangman. Seventhly, and lastly
—universal freedom shall be proclaimed to all
man nud woman kind—every tie and restraint
shall bo cat loose, uo debts shall be owed ill this
Slate, no marriage ceremonies performed in this
region. Hail Columbia, happy land I
It would ho an insult to tlio honest portion of
the Tory party, to suppose that they can connive
at the revolutionary doctrine contained in tho bill
alluded to; hut ore they not the legitimate fruits of
tiiat universal irreverence for law and order, which
made their advent when Gen. Jacksox threw off
the restraints of prescriptive usages, and the more
solemu enactments of law.
How ia it that we have only seen them since
his oloction to the Presidency 1 Who ever hoard
of such an insult being offered to tho free and en
lightened people of any State under the adminis
tration of MAntsox or Moxnoz, ns the hill alluded
to 1 What—postpone tlio payment of all debts
for two yean 1 Why not postpone the adminis
tration of all tiie other behests of justice for two
yean ? Some owe money—somo owe their li
berty, owl some their lives, forfeited to their coun
try. Then, lot its postpono, all togethor. It would
certaiuly be a greater act of charity to release a
man for two years from tlio hanjs of tho hang
man than tlio sheriff. Then, what a delightful va
cation it would make at the penitentiary. What
innocent recreations they might have for two
years—the health of the inmates, which lias doubt-
leas suffered iu the service of their country,might
be restored—at least, partially. Thoy might visit
their friends during this great interregnium; ami
gladden the faces of tiie whole community by
their presence. The obligations of tho marriage
tie too. should bo postponed for two years. Oil!
wlut a day of jubilee among tho hen peeked hus
bands. Two years! Why, it.is an ago to n man
under the yoke of a merchant, or the marriage
bond. Then tiie crack whistled torwiganta who
rattle din and discord about their husband's cars,
high above tiie clangor of gridirons and fryiugpans
—in two years they would be dumb os Moses;
there would bo peace throughout nil our borden.
Taxes too, must bo postponed—government
•hall stand as still as a mummy for two whole years.
Two whole years shall bo blotted from the calen

Tarver and answer! you who would shavo tile

tiiat docs the History business for Uie Georgian—
ho is a wonderful man—updtnUndi Latin, and
lias no doubt read Goldsmith's History of Eng-
land, and perhaps uncle Philip's histories besides.
He corrects ovory body's history in those parts,
and went so far as actually to divnlgo to tlio world
yesterday morning, thnt George III. was tile son
of Frederick, Prince of Wales. It is true tho fact
was no way disputed, nor called in question; but
then it afforded nn opportunity to display a leetle
history—on a leetle subject, by a leetle big man. I
would like to get a littlo history done for a school
primmer. QUID TOBACCO.

MAKE WAY FOR MICHIGAN.
By the politeness nfa gentleman of Michigan,
who left Dotroit Wednesday night, we luive in
telligence that lesvea little or no dmibtof the com
plete triumph, ofthe Whigs of Michigan, in the
election ofWoodbrige Governor and of a majori
ty ill the House of Representatives. Our inform
ant is also confident or n Whig majority iu tiie
Scnato.
Detroit Citu.—The whole vole pollod was
1,000. The Advertise says, 'This is a much larg
er vole than was expected. Tho vole lust lull wua
but about 1,400.’ The Whig majority for Govern
or in Detroit is 46.
. An extra from die Journal office says i ‘ Thus
Turfite Whin have 21 oftlm M Representatives
composing llie House. Tiie House is safe. If
Ihecounties to be heard from give tiie same vote
they did last year, Woodbridgo’s majority will ho
Loter.—The Rochester is in, with Detroit pa-
pen of Thursday morning. 8he left Detroit last
evening, and a respectable gentleman ofOhio,
who obtaiumi his intelligence at the latest moment
kefuro the sailing ofllio Rochester, informs us tliut
returns had come in aiilficient to place tile elec
tion of Woud bridge het/ond aucjtion, by a majority
ranging from 500 to 800. The Locos had given
ill), and acknowledged themselves beaten. A
Whig majority in tne House was considered
equally certain. Probably a Whig majority in the
Hemic.
Tho Loeofoeo majority for Representative to
Congress in Michigan last yaar was 142. The
Advertiser states tliut in the counties of Wayne,
Washtenaw, Oakland, nnd Jackson, tlio Whigs
have an aggregrate gain ofGSn, mid that, should
the rouinining counties do no better thanthry did
last year, Woodbridge will have nv* huxiikku

MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS.
The returns from Mississippi era as yet few,
imperfect and iinsalisfiictory. Tho Nuclioz Free
Trader of the 7th states, that full returns had keen
received ofthe threo smallest precincts in Adauis
county. Tho counting ofthe vntes in Natchez
and Washington had lint been concluded. From
what isalre idy known (says tiiat paper,) wo are
inclined to believe that Dr. John Branch, (demo
crat,) ia chosen state senator; John C. Inge, esq.
(whig.) county representative, and Col. F. Wood
and Simeon Murchison, esq., (whies.) represen
tatives from the city of Natchez.—The canvass
in Nalchez was exceedingly animated, ami the
uuiuber of vntes polled, (five hundred and nine,)
was n considerable increuse.
In Vicksburg Ihe whigs carried the day. Our
whole ticket, says the Vicksburg IPsig. succeeded
by ail average nuiority which cannot vury much
from l‘J0 votes. From the iudicutions before ui,
we boliove file majority will equal that of 1837,

Mr. Burton was born in the county of Char-

ly manhood and resided ut die place ofhis decease
for thirty-five years. In every relation of life he
had few equals. Providence had blesied him
with an ample fortune, with which he was evor
ready to minister to die wants ofthe poor and
distressed, aud to promote tho benevolent objects
ofthe ago.. He was emphatically u gentleman of
die old school; und the princely muunerin which
he provided Ibr his guests, would have beggard
any other nun; but it Imd no odier effect upon
mm than to increuse his fortune and to udd grout-

mansion was shared aliko hy tho rich and tho poor
and no other reinuneradon required, but to “ call
