CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
W e have received but few returns since our
last. I hese returns, however, giving a statement
of die vote of 52 counties, render it quite certain
that our conjectures in regard to the election of
Messrs. Gilmer, Wilde, Haynes, Thompson, and
Wayne, were correct. Mr. Foster is also undoubt
edly elected. There is yet some uncertainty in
regard to the seventh man. From the 52 counties
heard from, Mr. Lumpkin has received 12,452
voles; Mr. Cuthbert 10,414; and Mr. Merriwe
ther 10,329. The competition is now between
these three candidates ; the # ire 20 counties yet
to be heard from ; and although in each of these
counties the vote w’Jl be divided, yet we think it
not at all unlikely that Mr. Merriwethei will re
ceive a greater number than either of the other
gentlemen.
From the returns of the state elections, which
have been received, we have no doubt that the j
Troup has succeeded, and that they will
have a decided majority on a joint ballot of both
houses of the legislature. From the feelino- and
spirit exhibited by the leaders of the part} , there
w ill undoubtedly be an attempt made to sweep the
whole judicial board,and elect anew set of judges,
solicitors, &c. from the ranks of the dominant
party.
Nothing, we think, can place in a stronger
point of view, the impropriety of the present
mode of electing judges in this state, than tiie
frequent changes which take place on the bench,
through the perpetual strife and alternate success
of parties. No officer known to our lawn more
requires the aids of experience than a judge,—
yet. such is the tenure upon w hich he holds his
office, that he is certain to be cnsprAwad at the end
of three years, if he wihf not consent to truckle to
the will of a party, and stoop to court the favor
of the mob by the lowest arts known to the politi
cian. If the political notions of the incumben
do not square in all points with those of the party
in power. —learning, talents, probity, legal expe
rience, all are sacrificed to the desire of party
domination. Such has been the fate of some of
our most upright and intelligent judges in times
past ; such will be their fate in future. It. is an
evil inherent in our present judiciary system.
The State Flection which has just, taken place
in Maryland shows a considerable acccsion of
strength to the cause of the Administration. The
Baltimore Patriot, of the Bth, remarks, “ accord
ing to the returns now received, ?*Tr. Adams will
certainly hate eight electoral rotes, and should- he
receive the vote of this district, of which w ? e have
the least doubt, he will then have ten, and
Gen. Jackson but one veto in Maryland.”
The National Intelligencer, of the 9th says.
i! The returns, so fir as received, fully warrant a
calculation upon nine out of the eleven electors
to be chosen on the 10th proximo, being in favor
of the administration.”
We have no doubt that the intemperate pro
ceedings of tlie disunion politicians in the south
from the fact of their being the supporters of
Jackson, will have a most decided influence on the
prospects of the Hero in the middle and we-tern
states Although every” one must repel the suppo
sition, that Jackson himself sanctions those un
patriotic sentiments which hare K en expressed
by his partisans in the south—yet that cause can
not but suffer, which has for its most active advo
cates, men who are known lo be selfish in their
views, and unprincipled in character. The people
may have the fullest confidence in the patriotism
and integrity of Jackson, and yet they may tear
i the succecss of a party, wdiose leaders, professing
! tli* most opposite pimciples in politics, and con
| tradictory opinions, seem bound together by no
1 ties but those of interest and ambition.
To the Editor of the Mercury and Argus.
j Darien, October 17.
I The friends of the present administration of the
General Government, are much more numerous
, in tins section of the State than cur opponents
wish to allow. The noisy, open-mouthed politi
’ cians, the half-pint- men, and the hurra boys, are
all for Jackson. But it is not so with the better
informed and more respectable classes. Among
them, Mr. Adams lias many well wishers. They
have watched the course of his administration ;
they have seen much to approve of, and little to
condemn. They have seen, under his guidance,
our nation steadily advance in the course of pros
perity ; they have seen the national debt rapidly
diminish ; they have marked his private virtues
and his public worth ; and could they control the
current cf events, they would wish his re-election.
But, feeling thus, they do not wish to disturb the
tranquility of the State, or murmur at the deci
sion of a majority of the people. Enclosed we
send you, for publication, the answer of Mr.
M Connell, to a Committee of the friends of the
General Government, by whom he had been no
ruinated a candidate for Elector of President and
Vice President.*
RiCEßono’, 4th Oct. 1828.
Gentlemen : I have received your communica
tion of 29th nit. requesting (as a committee inbd
half of the friends'of the general administrat ion
in vour county) permission to announce me a can
didate for Elector in favor of our distinguished
Chief Magistrate. I appreciate duly this marked
manifestation of your confidence, and would com
ply with your request, did not my very limited ac
quaintance in the State (being politically un
known) render il proper to decline the honor you
have so kindly offered to confer upon me. 1 beg
leave to assure you, my feelings and unfeigned
wishes on this all-absorbing question are in per
fect accordance with yours —that, how ever unable
I rnav be to advance the good cause, none can
claim a greater devotion to it—an administration
based upon virtue, tried talents and patriotism.
In conclusion, gentlemen, please accept the fneiivl
ship of your most obedient servant,
I WM. P. M CONNELL.

SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MOP YJ-AtZ. OCTOBER 23, 1828.
Philadelphia , Oct. 7. —We are glad to be able to
elate that the Secretary of the Navy hag so far re
covered his health as to have arrived in this city
on. his way to the seat of Government. He this
day visited the Navy \ ard and Naval Asylum, and
some other of our public buildings.—A at. Int.
JYaval. —We understand that orders have been
received to comp the U. S. Frigate Guerriere ,
i lp n g at the Navy Yard, Gosport, for sea, with all
possible despatch.
| Great alarm was excited recently at Norfolk &
| Portsmouth, (Va.) by a sudden appearance of fire
i in the direction of the Navy Yard. Thore was a
general rush towards the spot indicated by the
light, and great alacrity was manifested by the
citizens to save, as they supposed the public pro
perty. The cause of alarm, however, was fortu
nately discovered to be only a kitchen, and the
fire was soon extinguished without doing injury
to any other object.
The New-York Enquirer says that the funds
raised for the purpose of preserving some of the
effects of the late Governor Or. inton, were not
applied for the purpose intended; and t* ***• jg do
nors were to bo called together to decide riu.. j
disposition they will make of the amount aubesr- !

New-York, Oct. 3.—Mr. Jehovitch, who, it will
be remembered, was acquitted on an indictment
charging him with intending to defraud-the un
derwriters of a vessel which he had chartered,
has commenced an action against Mr. Justice
Hopson on a plea of trespass and false imprison
ment.
The Summer has past away with less sickness
than usual 5 indeed it has been the most healthy
we have known for many years, not only in this
place, but throughout the state,with the exception
of some places near the mountains, where, we
understand, considerable fever has prevailed.— Co
lumbia State Gazette , 1 \th inst.
It may be interesting to merchants to know,
says the Boston Patriot, that the Secretary of the
Treasury has decided, that under the new Tariff
the article of serges is not to be considered as
flannels, but that the duties on the same are to be
estimated on a minimum price, according to the
actual cost and value theieof.
Agreeably to notice, the launch of the steam
boat General Jackson, took place yesterday from
Mr. Marsh’s Ship Yard. The launch was per
formed in a very handsome style, and much to
the satisfaction of a large concourse of spectators.
The boat, we understand, draws 18 inches for
ward. and 19 inches aft, and was built for Messrs.
M’Kenzie and Bennoch, of Augusta.
Charleston Paper.
Ncw-'York, Oct. 10.—The steam packet Chan
cellor Livingston, on her passage from Providence,
broke her centre shaft, and came to anchor off
Huntington Light at 7 o’clock on Wednesday
morning. The passengers, about 100 in number,
were taken off in the afternoon, by the John Mar
shall, from Norwalk, and arrived here in the eve
ning. We understand it will require several days
to repair the Chancellor.
The steam ship Bonjamin Franklin, which left
here at 20 minutes past 3 on Monday afternoon,
arrived at Providence at 7 next morning, and the
passengers reached Boston at 48 minutes
being 19 hour?, and 28 minutes from the time they j
left the wharf here. The shortest passage ever
made before, was 20 hours and 30 minutes.
A passenger who left Boston on Friday last, and
came in the Benjamin Franklin, took tea early the
next evening at Albany.
.Occident —Mr. Merritt, the Agent of the “Wel
land Canal Company, who arrived here in the Na
poleon from Liverpool, had the misfortune, while
on his way to Canada, to break his thigh in two
places, by the overturning of a stage in Onondngo
county. After receiving surgical aid, he was
transferred to a canal boat, and convoyed to Buf
falo. rc
Extent of the United Slates. —A letter, dated
Prairie du Chien, August 15, reached us this
morning bv the ordinary mail route from that
place. Since its date, we have received advices
from the shores of the Euxine and the utmost
parts of Europe. What adds to the curiosity of
the fact is, that the letter relates to a subscription
for the Statesman, sent to a Social Library in that
remote region. The Post Office at that village
is 590 miles distant from any other.— N. Y. States
man. -
The Paris Journal des Debats announces the
publication of the first two volumes of a collec
tion of contemporary memoirs which embrace the
most piquante periods of modern annals. These
two volumes, which are to be followed by four
others, contain memoirs of the Empress Jose
phine, of the Court of Navarre and Malmaison. of
Louis Bonaparte, the Court of Holland, and the
French administration in that country.
Jin awkward situation. —Wc have been inform
ed that whilst two gentlemen w'ere performing
their ablutions in the river, on the north shore,
yesterday, some light fingered gentry made free
with their clothes, which the proprietors had left
!to take care of themselves on the bauk. The
j consternation and awkward dilemma of the par
! ties, on making the discovery, may be more easily
i conceived than described. We did not hear how
t they got out of their difficulties, or whether they
were compelled to wait in the fields till night
clothed them in her ebon mantle. — Liverpool'pap.
We learn from she Norwalk, (Connecticut,) Re
publican, that the September term of the superior
court for Fairfield co. closed its session at Danbury
last Friday. Among the convictions was the
following :
Isaac Bishop , on an information for adultery,
and three indictments for poisoning the wells of
Joseph Smith, of New Canaan, and Holley Bell
and Thaddeus Hoyt, of Darien; found guilty on
all, and sentenced on the second to imprisonment
in the state prison during life ; and on the third
and fourth to imprisonment for one year, and to
pay a fine of $509 on each.
‘The same paper adds, that early on Tuesday
morning Bishop was found, in his room, in the
Danbury gaol, apparently near his end. Circum
stances strongly indicated, and it was generally
supposed, that he had taken poison. It was ru
moured at Norwalk on Tuesday evening, that he
was dead.
Roman Catholic Churches.— With the increase
of our population by its natural growth and by
emigration, the number of churches is augment
ed proportionally, and among othors those of the
Roman Catholic denomination. Anew church
for this sect has b&on eommenfeed at Breton, one
has been erected in Eastport, one in-Portland,and
one in Dover. Lots are purchased for others in
Saco, Newport, Pawtucket, and Hartford; the
whole evincing a rapid accession oi numbers to
the lew Catholics heretofore found in New Eng
land.—V. Y. Statesman.
Infant Schools.—The attempt is making to es
tablish, throughout the country, schools tor chil
dren before they arrive at the age when they
usually attend school—say from 2to 7 years of
age. In those cases where children can receive
uo domestic education, they must be evidently
useful, because they will tend to prevent tU
wrong impressions, which the Under mind of the
clnld may receive between the age of 2 and 7
years It is far easier to prevent bad habits, than
correct them. In this view, we think these insti
tutions deserve encouragement. We have been
informed that one is in successful operation in this
“ notl ? er ls about to established ,In
Philadelphia there are five public institutions of
the kind in successful operation.— Boston Patriot.
Receive, Mr. Editor, the following statement,
obtained at the canal collector’s office, on Satur
day, at Utica.
From the opening of the canal in 1827, to Ort •
Oi that year, 293,248 bids, of flour were entered
for the east—do. to .Oct. 1823, 254,271 have pass
ed—difference; 38,977, for this year.
There is at present a large break on the canal,
this side of Rochester, which prevents boats arri
ving.
There rather a short crop of wheat at the !
west; and the farmers will not thresh at present
expecting to realize golden prices from the minus
crops m Europe.
Observation and information, the last fly—

-jc no scarcity this year of wheat.— N.
Y DtiMrtfan.
Canal Commerce.— Two hundred tons of mer
chandise were received at our wharves, by the
Erie Canal, during the last week, destined for
Michigan Territory and the states of Pennslvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This was exclusive of
the supplies for our own village, and of the im
mense quantities of salt, amounting to many hun
dred barrels, which arrived during the same peri
od. Such are the facilities of conveyancing up
the Lake, that this quantity of goods, extensive
as it is will meet with no delay here, as thirty
four sail of vessels were in port on Friday last,
receiving cargoes, or ready for sea. Such is among
the consequences of the Erie Canal, thq enliven
ing influences of which are still extending west,
and are already felt even upon the shores of the
Mississippi.— Bu ffalo Journal of Sept. 30.

MelancJiolhj Event. —On the 30th ult. as James
Boyd, aged 17 years and G months, was returning
to Warren ton from the race course, lie was thrown
from his horse against a tree, and received a severe
wound on his head which he only survived five
hours. — Raleigh Star, 9th inst.
The brig Dromo, Capt. Morgan, arrived at this
port last evening from Buenos Ayres, whence she
sailed on the Soth of August. We have not
learned that she brings any intelligence of inter
est. The following extracts are from a paper of
the latest date we have received :
Philadelphia Aurora.
Buenos Ayres, Aug. 9—The price of specie
has not varied the last week. Doubloons, 50 dol

From the London Mechanics’ Magazine.
Epsom Salts. —The United States of America,
which used to be furnished with Epsom Salts from
this country, have now the whole of their supply
from a manufactory of their o,vn, established at
Baltimore, by Messrs. M’Kirn, Sims 4” Cos. These
gentlemen have succeeded in making purer sait
than in Europe, at much less price, and now ma
nufacture about 1,500,000 lbs. annually.
A writer in the London Morning Chronicle
holds this language:
li There is no denying the vast superiority of
the Americans to the English in naval gunnery ;
and the reason is obvious. In America, the officers
must learn the naval service—in England the re
lations of the officers must learn their Parliamen
tary service; and this makes all tho difference.
The Guerriere, Java, Macedonia, and Shannon,
lost in their actions with American frigates, more
by one third than our whole fleet in the great vic
tory off St. Vincents. The following table will
show the immense destruction effected by the
American fire, compared to that of any other na
tion. The first column is a rough calculation of
the guns engaged, and the latter is an accurate
statement of the killed and wounded :
Lord Howe’s victory, 2,200 1,0G6
Lord Duncan’s 1,200 704
Lord St. Vincent’s, 1.400 800
The Nile, 1,110 895
Trafalgar, 2,550 1,594
American Frigates, 170 391
So that the sanguinary battle off Camperdown
did not cost us twice our loss in engaging four
American frigates, and nearly the same may be
said of the most desperate of all naval fights on
record —that of the Nile. The Java frigate, of
only 3G guns, when taken by the Americans, lost
within one as many as the Temeraire,- 98 guns ;
Within four a many a tho Victory. 100 fflins;
and within a few as many as the Royal Sovereign
of one hundred, in the battle of Trafalgar ; and
vet the Victory and Royal Sovereign, were Lord
Nelson’s and Collingwood’s flag ship, and bore the
brunt of the battle.”

The Capitol. —Accitienially paying a
visit to the Capitol yesterday, we were
much struck viitu the improvements going
on in the interior of the building, in the
grounds, terrace, &r. as well as with the
alterations which parts of the exterior are
undergoing. The entrance to the Hall of
Representatives, or rather into the lobby of
the hall from the vestibule, is undergoing a
total change by which the space in the lob
by is much enlarged, and the vestibule be
comes, by the removal of the door, and
changing the direction of the steps which
lead to it, the proper entrance or door way
of the hall, The whole place, is in a world
of confusion just now, hut it is easy to see
that this alteration will be a greet improve
ment, the approach to the hall having been
heretofore quite narrow, dark and inconve
nient. It is intended to be finished before
Congress assembles.
In the Senate chamber, it gave us real
pleasure to perceive symptoms of a restora
tion of symmetry and order to the apart
ment. The Vce President’s chair has got
back to its former location, and the it hole
rank and file of chairs and desks are under
orders, as it were, to face about and form
a semi circle in front, as formerly, instead
of being arrayed in opposition to one ano
ther, in cm ves and lines, which reminded
one of nothing on earth but the section of
a ; pider’s web, unless it might he the send
diamer of a cart wheel, with the spokes ra
diating from midway of the felo©, instead -
of the hub. \Y v had this reform with great
pleasure; for the alteration made in the
Senate chamber at this time last \ear was
abhorrent to every principle of tuste and
harmony. - A great improvement is also to
be made in the gallery of the Senate, by
