A correspondent of the New York Time» fur nishes that journal t?<e following very intesteat tn- sketch of theX 7b f ■' X\ in tae “ Old Dominion.” “ Acecording to Thomas’s History of Printing, vol. 2 ; p. 460, 11 Only two newspapers were published in Virginia before 1775, and both at Williamsburg. The first, which was under the influence of the Governor, commenced about 1736 thu second 111 1766. Mr. Jefferson observes — “till the beginning of our rovolu'ionary disputes we had but ona press ; and that, having the whole business of tho govvramont and no compe titor lor public favor, nothing disagreeable to the Governor could find its way into it. We pro cured Hind to come from Maryland to publish a free paper.” 7\s Viremia Gazette appeared as early as 1736, on a half sheet.foolscap, & occasion ally on a whole sheet, printed by William Parks, who continued it until he died, in 1750. Some months after his death the piper was discontin ued.” “ Virginia Gatte, with the freshest advices, Foreign and Domcstick” appeared next, and was, lu fact, but a renewal of the first Gazette, which had been a short time suspend ed, but it commenced with Ne. 1. It was pub lished weekly, on Monday, on aj crown sheet, folio, neatly printed, and had a cut of the Vir ginia Arms in the title, The first number was published in February 1751. Imprint—” Wil liamsburg: Printed by Wm. Hunter, nt the Poit Office, by whom persons may be supplied with this paper.

A cut of the arms of the Colony was in the title. It was well printed with ikw types, on a demy sheet, folio Imprint ” Wil liamsburg: Printed by William Rind, at the New Printing-office, on the Main Street. All persons may be supplied with this at 12s. bd. per year.” At the end of the first year, ” Published by Authority” was omitted in the head of The Gazette This paper was published by Rind until his death, Aug. 19, 1771. Clementina Kind, h’s widow, continued it after he died, and to her succeeded John Pincknay. Another Virginia Gazette was first published in April, 1775, and continu’cd*wcekly, on Saturday, by John Clark son and Augustine Davis, at Wtiliamaburg, seve ral years. 1 have a full file of The Virginia Gazette for 1775. in which are tho different accounts of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Another and still greater error in the history of American Typography, occurred recently in 'J'he Albany Register, as follows; ‘‘The fiist book printed in the State of New York was the first constitution of the State. It was printed, according to a statement by the Honorable Gulian Verplanck in 1775, just after tbe Legislature, retiring before the approach of British bayonets, first to Harlem, then to Kings bridge, Yonkers, White Plains, Fiohkill and Kingston, d.Kcussed and adopted it. The peo pie could find but one press in their domain with which to print this work of their represen tatives. It was done at Fishkill, by Samuel Louden, who had been a Whig editor and prin ter in the city of New York, and Vna retired with his press to Fishkill where wm the choif deposit of stores, hospitals, etc , of the northern army of tho United States. Mr. Verplanck possesses a copy of this precious piece of American typo graphy.” Tbe first book printed in New York, was a folio volume of tbe laws of the Colony, by Wm. Bradford, in 1693, ” printer t' their Majesties, at the sign of Bible.” Several editions of Laws of New York, aa well aa hundreds of volumes of other works, were printed here previous to 17771 The editor of Ths Register docs not seem to be very well posted up, with regard to printing, even in hisowa city ; at Al bany, even, (ths second place in ll e State, where printing was introduced.)

From the llimwe Leter fremone cf Lopez’s Commanders. The following Lt er from Captiin Robert El is, of Washington, D. C., ono es Lopez’s principal officers, ts Cap*. J. C. Marne tt, of this city, will be read with interest: Havasa, IlcsrrrAL, Sept. ? (I forget the da e.) $ My Dear Marriott: 1 have not much time to write you any thing by thia mail; have only to s y thit we fought one b&tt’e at the village Posss,” with 300 men upon our side and 800 Spaniards, in which we gave them “a devii of ath ashing.” They carried off their wounded, but left 132 dead upon the field. This yon will say was a pret y good day’s work for ur.drilltd u*d undiaciplined men. Our loss was 45 killed and w ounded. I got two wounds—one in my band and one in ths groin: the la ter has healed op, and tho first is ge ting much better. 1, being senior cap tain, had “the right of the bat alion ;” and a pretty hot place it was. Our brave old colo ne, R. L. Downman, was killed while cbarg ing the enemy; Lieut. Labszan, cf my com pany, was killed iu the same charge. Two captains and two lieutenants were left at “Lis Poms.” as we had no transportation for them* The Hengarian general, Pragay, was ako mor* tally wounded and had to be left. We waited at Lis Posas twelve hours after the battle for Col. Crittenden to come up with the baggage and ammunition ; but only 35 got through, bringing the disastrous intelligence of Crittenden's defeat at Palmyro, about nine miles from Las Posse. On the 17th we were again attacked at F'riez by 100 lancers and 1,000 infantry. We repuked them with great loss on their part, aud only two men on our side. In a few days came one of those hard rains com mon in the mounting in thia country, which coniinued a -veral days, waiting our ammuni tion guns and every thing else. This was a pretty bad position to be in—in the mountains without food, or the means of procuring it! On the 20th a large body of the enemy, with artillery,attacked us. We had some thirty or forty guns which would jet “go off,” and a few Spanish cartridges ; with iheae we upset 35 Span ards before their artillery came up. Gen. Lopez then ordered a retreat, which be came a total route. They m*da many prisoners of our poor bare footed soldiers, who icers immtdiaUly shot. Os all suffer ngs ercr—erer endured by mortal man, For tbe next I! ree days, I think ours exceeded. Just think of it!—only one meal of horse flesh during the whole time. On the 28ih I was made a pnsoner, and treated eery kiudiy until I reached Havana, when we were chained (sick and wounded) to gether. Upon an extmina’ion being made, I and some others were sent to this hospital, where we haveesery attention, and are treated in the kindest and meat gentlemanly manner by the surgeons and students. Os oar consul here 1 have nothing to say; he came one > to the prison, for some ten min utes, and insultingly told one hundred and fifty men, who were in chains, that the pro clamation of the President prevented him from doing anything for ua. In the hoar of need came afuend, like a ministering angel from Heaven Mr. W. Sydney Smith viei ed us every day; he i‘ secretary to the British consul general What a rebuke to our con sul was his conduct! He never came empty handed, nor with mere words of comfort; bat clothes, cigars, money, and many other arti cles were brought in abundance. Our consul had refused ns looks or papers: Mr Smith furnished both—American papers at that; so that we could, read with pleasure, the accounts of the meetings, Jcc., held in the States. God bless that young man, Harriot. The American people should rise upon masse and hank him ! 1 could fi.l a dozen sheets in tell ing yon of bio generous sets to myself; he has been particularly kind; and if the rules of the hospital would permit it. everything in Ha vana weald be at my service. Through bis nfluence many American gentlemen, who had before applied in vain, gained admittance to see us. They, with Mr. Smith, raised f 1,700 for ths relief of thoos sent to Spain.

What Manufactories <lo* The observant and reflacting generally, in (his city, and indeed throughout the entire Stalo, need no other evidence than has already been Fubmilled to them, and practically de monstrated in a hundred different localities in the S ate, of the advgntages of Manufactories; or, in other words, what Manufactories do; yet there may be nemo intelligent men who are still doubling or skeptical, and to such we would commend the perusai of lhe following article fromthe Louisville Journal: Cincinnati—its rapid Growth and some of the causes thereofe have |usi be’n looking over a volume of 354 [ages, prepared by that most indefati gable statist. Charles Cut, and ent tied “Cincinna ti in 1851.” A city that in half a century his in creased firm 7EO to 115,438 souls, must have had a p sition, a population, and industrial pursuits worthy of careful examination Louisville commenced the cent'.ry with 609 peo ple, end Pittsburg with 1.565. The former has, by the last census, cnly 43,277, and the latter only 67,- 871 people. The one has a site, in extent and con venience, inferior to none io the world ; and, I esidee, is at tbe only great obstruction in a route of inland navigation of ever 2,000 miles. The other has had tho advantage of coal and iron. In the fifty years, New Orleans has increased from 9,650 to 120 951 people. With all the won derful commercial advantages of that city, its actual increase has been less than that of Cincinnati. Du* ring tbe last decade, the population of the latter has more than doubled, while that of the former has only increased 20 pei cent., and now, in the opinion ot many, is actually retrograding. In the a idress ol Messrs. Burk and others, in the latt number of De Bow’s Commercial Rev’cw, it is stated tnat there were, in March last (the busy season) 299 vacant houses io the Second municipality a.'one. How shall we account for all this 7 How does it hap-'ep *r.vJrjae i by hi lie, with u natural* site of only abobi SOt) acres, without coal or minerals, with a very limited river front, and with no obvious advantages over a hundred other positions should have increased wish such a wondstful rapidity 3 Wc have not time to answer this query in full. Asa general proposition, the tendency of a popula tion is to centralize. In the centre of a val ey, sub sistanco is more uniformly abundant and cheap, while communication and into change are more con venient. Louisville Lad the most central pos'tion but the peculiar institution of lhe South was sup, posed to be antagonistic to the classes of mechanics and manufacturers, who, more than others, build up a city. Ninety-seven pages of the book before us arc ta ken up io brief no ices of lhe manufactures and in dustrial [ roducts cf Cincinnati. Here is the rccrei cf its growth. From the immense roiling mill of Shreve, Steele & Co., and cotton mil! of Fosdic, Strader A Harkness, down to the “ plug, I tng, and tree nail factrry,” the streets are lined with build ings for fabrication and assortment. Commerce is not king there, and Miles Greenweed stands as high as any comm’ssfon merchant or bink president. The aggregate product of the manufactures of Cincinnati is estimated at fifty five millions, seven teen thousand dollars—a value almost half as much as the entire export cf the United Slates. Os this product, labor has added over twenty five millions of dollars to the ccst of the raw materials. Here is an illustration. For the manufacturing of mechanics’ tools there are ecven factories —nine- ty-six hands— value of product, $167 OJO of raw material, $58,109. Ninety-six workmen cre ated in one year a wealth of $109,600. The wealth thus created remains at home and is reproductive. The leading business of Cincinnati is ths provision business, but there it has very many tranche.'. Tbe foundenea and engine shops give empkyment to 4,695 persons. The pork and beef establishments employ direct'y only 2,450 persons—indirectly they set in motion the coopers, the lard-pressers, lhe bris tle-diesseis, the brush-makers, and a host of others who gather up and use every part of the dial, from the tip of the horn to the end of the tail. Oneestabii hrnent, that of Ti lery A Chipin, pay out yearly $60,000 to theirworkmeu, and as is s a ted, g ve sufpjft to over one thousand persons. They make covse b ots and shoes. The f irniture busiuera supports seven or eight thousand people. We have not t me to do more than refer ton few cf these city makers, end to suggest, to ourwonbipful mayor, council, and aldermen—to our worthy bank presidents and bank directors —and g’ner Jly to the n agnates who frame our municipal laws, du tribute money, and sway public opinion —the expediency of sending for a tow hundred copies of Mr. Cist’s book—first fortbeirown use. and then for distribu tion among their poor neighbors who want a larger population bar 3 to the amount ts individual taxes. Currents of the Ocean—Tho currents of lhe ocean has, of late years, a’tracted much attention; aid, bs it is again to science when a series of correct observations are persevered in with a view to come to tho elucidation of that in’orestinr phenomenon, it is with p en sure that we learn that Mr. Bales'ier, in his late diplomatic mission to Southeastern Asia, in 1849, gave his personal attention to the tem perature of the atmot-pheie and of the sea at lhe depth of ten to twelve feel bdow the sur face, three imes daily, during his voyage from this country via England, to Alexandria, in Egypt, and from Buez to Hong Kong, and from that port to New York, pursuing the same route, in the present year. These obsei va'ions, we understand, disclose several facts apparently unrecorded before, showing a higher temperature of the sea than of lhe atr for thousandsof miles continuously, and increasing with the depth. Thia condition of the soa, Mr. Bbl slier thinks may give an easy solution to the cause of the great corrects on ;>ur coast, as well as to that off the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Bsles’.ier, we also understand, has made observations on the waters of lhe Mediterrane an of a very i.Teresting kind, which may per haps readily account for the upper current from tho Atlantic, and lhe lower one from tho Me diterraoean. It is to be hoped he wiil make public his long and interesting series of observations, accompanied with 1 n account of his recent mission to those Orien’al regions, which pre sent new fields for American commercial en terprise. Tie Coiuumption of Smoke end Savin" es Fuel—W a find in the New York Tribune the following account of the success of an inven lion which seems to be particularly advanta geous for furnaces in cities: We visited on Saturday the Chemical Work' of Aid. D. F. Tiemann & Bon Manhvtanville, to witness the operation of Broker's Improved Furnrce, in company with the Trusteer' Agent J Armory. Esq ,of Boston Messrs; Tiemann & Son have applied this invention to several different boilers, so that it was burning An thracite, Bituminous (Liverpool) and Semi- Bituminous (Dauphin) coal in the same es tablishment at once- in no ca-ecr uld a parti cle ofstnoke be seen to issue from the chimney —alt was consumed—and only transparent, in combustible g-ses given off through the chim ney, whether high or low. By tins cjtisump tion of the smoke, it is calculated that.# saving of sixteen per cent, is effac ed, and a? much more by retaining the heat longer under the boder and bringing th® great body of it more direct iv in contact therewith. This is effected by means of three orfeur pecu’iarly construct ed cut ved bridges or arch-s erected at certain ictervals across the space beneath th common cylindrical (or any other) boiler, between the fire and the further end, each bridge or arch reaching to within three or four inches of the boiler, and forcing all the heat in o immediate con act therewith. By the intense heat thus concentrated, the smoke, &c , obliged to pass through these narrow apertures, are eonaum ed, leaving nothing but incombustible gases to pass off and up the chimney. The chief recommendations of this inven tion are its simplicity aud cheapness. It may be applied to any boiler, however odd or im perfect, and the poorer the boiler is the greater the margin for saving No resetting is needed, and the time required for making the applica tion is very shoi t. Tsr Use or Fruit.—lnstead of standing in miv fear of a generous consumption of ripe fruits, we regard them as positively conducive to health. The very maladies commonly as eumed to have their origin in the free use of apples, peaches, cherries, melons, and wild berries have been q jite as prevalent, if not equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity. There are so rtany erroneous notions enter tained of the bad effects of fr it, that it is quite time a counteracting impre-sion should be promulgated, having is foundation in common sense and based on the common observation of the intelligent. We have no patience in reading the endless rules to be observed in th s particular department of physical comfort No one, we imagine, ever lived longer or freer from the paroxysms of disease by discarding the delicious fruits of the land in which he finds a home. On the con rary, they are nec essary to the preservation of health, and ate therefore caused to make their appearance at lhe very time when the condition of tbe body, operated upon by the deletion icg causes not always understood, requires their grateful, renovating influences. —Boston Mid. and Surg.

IFrom the New Times. Cottou Plnntera* Convention. The Convention of cotton planters to be held in this city during the sitting of the Agri cultural Fair, on the 29 11,30th and 31st Inst., have some important projects in comtemplation. Among other things of importance that will be proposed, wo understand that a plan a ill be sub mitted to the consideration of the Convention, for forming a mammoth combination of cotton Planters, under charters from the different States to guarantee to the planter not less than a fair price—tay ten cents for his cotton under any and all circumstances, and without regard to the the ruling rates in Europe. Its ac tion will have an important influence upon the cotton in'erestsof lhe South, and we trust the Representatives from lhe different Stales will be full, and caosen from th a moat experienced and intelligent cotton planters in tho whole cotton region —A7icon 7 etc. A Convention this, it the statements of the Telegraph be conclusive as to its objects, to se cure the exemption < f the cotton crop from the usual vicissitudes of climate, trade and the laws regulating supply and demand. The seasons will have to be adjusted so that due proportions of wet and dry weather shall alternate at proper intervals ; a treaty must be made with the army end boll worm and other entomological specula tors iu cotton ; the fluctuations of money val ues wiil have to be set forever at rest, and a fixed rate ot consumption dictated to and forced upon the world. Can tbe Cotton Convention manage this 1 Can it regulate the tide 3 or lay down laws for the winds 3 or oblige the Gulf Stream 10 run the other way 3 Unless it can, the price of cotton is likely, we fear, to continue its old fashioned mutability. ****** Tho regulation of prices is a chimera, of course; buttno project of a direct intercourse between the South and Europe, which is a prin cipal object of the Macon gaihering, is not at all chimerical. The trade of the Southern Slates is large, and sus, sptible of any amount of exten ei« n. The progress of manufactures in their midst naturally suggests a corresponding devel opment oi commerce. The commodities are ample, the shipping procurable, and the econ omy ot saving the cost of coastwise trans portation to a northern port obvious. The only wonder is, the movement was not made long ago. Kossuth.—. 4 London letter of 33 instant pub i«hed in the N York Commercial Adver titer, says : “Information has been received that tho Mississippi may be looked for at Southampton in ihecourxe of a few days, with Kossuth and his family and followers. Aware that but for the influence of England with Turkey, his detention would probably have ended only with his life, he feels himself im peratively ca'.led to acknowledge personally its action on his destiny. This duty discharged, he proposes to leave his children in lhe coun try, nnd to proceed to the United States to thank the people, Congress and Government for the timely aid they have also afforded to him. “It appears that the Government of the French republic have not dared to permit him even to pass through their territory. On landing from lhe Mi s.-eippi at Marseilles, he applied for permission for h mself and his com rades to travel byway of Paris to England. Thia transient hospitality—this mere right of way—was, however, refused to him, and he returned forthwith on board his vessel. Pass ing fiom his hotel to the quay, he < bserved, moreover, the activity of the police in dispers ing a crowd that had fallowed to express their sympathy by cheers. “The preparations for his reception at Southampton are being carried on with spirit. The Mayor, a man of considerable weal h, is en husiastic in his desire to ma-k thaoccasion, and he seeme to be generally supported by the inhabitants. An address to Kossuth is in course cf exten sive sigtid'uro to welcome his arr val, audio assure him thai the demonstrations which m:.y greet him, are designed to express something more than the ordina y fjrma'ities of civility.’ Tbe time rs Kossuth’s arriv tl tn the United States is nude somewhat uncertain by this movement.

A Curiob:ty.—We paid a visit yesterday tn a specimen of the human race before whom Tom Thumb and al! his brethren must sink into obscurity. The olject of our visit was a little woman 'rom Merida, Yucatan, whence sne arrived here yes.crday. She is apparently about thirty years of age, with black hair and light brown complexion, a regular Mecanca of the poorer class, born and raided in Merida She is about three feet high (her precise height has not yet bean ascertained) with the head, face and body of a full grown woman. Her lower 1 mbs are preposterously short, and ap parently crooked. Her feet are remarkably final!; one has throe toes, the other four. She is without entire aims. An inch or two of what was to be a imo, is seen at the left shoul der; at the right’here is about six inches of an arm. The extremity is round and smooth, and near it on the upper side of the limb is a •mall excrescence of flesh, white colored, look ing like the end of a finger and about the size of a rifle bulle*. This appears to serve the woman in lieu of a finger. We saw her hold a cigarrito with it and smoke; and by its aid and that of her toes, in the use of which she is very dexterous, thned a fine needle, mike various kinds of Miches use scissors, open the paper of a cigarrito, put tho tobacco on iho floor, pick it up and replace it, refold the pa> per b‘ nd the ends, tie inc cigarrito round with thread, &c. Sue sews all her own clothes, and very neatly, too. All these operations are slowly gone threugh with, exhibiting much pa tience on her part, and considerable intelli gence, as she has never been taught any thing. She speaks Spanish fluently, appears to be timorous and ret ring but amable ar.d spright ly.

Kelly—Consul Owen* Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 30. Gentlemen ; —Enclosed you will find a letter of mine, in reply to Mr. Owen's defence, which I had intended to reserve until I returned to New Odeansand publish it in tho I’icaynne, but the necessity of refuting that man’s falsehoods press ed so hard upon mu that 1 have determined to put him In his right position at once before pro ceeding any further on my journey ; and accor dingly insert it to day in the Piaindcaler, of this city. By your giving my letter a place in your paper, you will much oblige your obedient ser vant, J. A. Kelly. Dear Sib—l see a letter the rounds of the papers iron: Alien F. Owen, U. S. Consul at Havana. Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to correct some of his statements in regard to his conduct towards Col. Crittenden’s command, and other American prisoners since confined in the Punta at Havana. In lhe first place, he says: “I reside about four miles from this place, and not being well on the morning of the 16th, did not reach rny office till some time after 10 o’clock where for the first time, I hea d of the capture, cf about fifty of the men who had come with Lopez to this island in the steamer Pampero. 1 at the same time heard that the prisoners had been tried, found guilty, condemned, ordered to be executed, the order for their execution spnt furward, and that they were about being removed from lhe harbor, where they were, to the place of execution.” This is the most perfect collection of falsehood I ever met with, and is only equalled in absur dity by the audacity of the man in thus attempt ing to justify his conduct through the American press. He does not live four miles out of town, nor was he tick at the time referred to. He did know in time of the arrest of Crittenden and his party, and was sent for by them, and posi tively refused to see them on the score that they were oatlaws. The American, German and Eng’ish citizens resident in Havana, will testify to this whenever called upon. The American Consul’s assertion that the prisonershad been (tied, found guilty and con demned, is a falsehood, and every man in the Unittd States, at all acquainted with Spanish law and Spanish tale, must see it at once. It is not the custom to try prisoners in Havana, o herihanby thegaroteor by shooting in the back, which Mr. Owen knew at the time he penned his letter,as well as the Governor Gener al did himself; and, judging from Mr. Owen’s conduct, 1 should think he wasmorein dread of getting in prison himself than anxious to get others out. The Governor General exercises great influence ovei cowardly wretches like Al len F. Owen, no matter what country they may hail from. Hence I account In a great measure, for his r eglectof duty in permitting tho Amer icans to be shot. With regard to the other prisoners, his conduct is equally outrageous. When 1 reached the pris on I found eight or ten of my comrades there, and they all said that the Consul had not been to see them. I also sent tho same evening by an American at Havana, to Mr. Owen, and he re fused to come, saying our Government did not recognize us. When C pt. Piatt of the sloop of war Albany, visited us, I sent to Mr. Owen by him and he again refused to come. Then Lieut. Taylor of the Albany, said he would “make him come,” and the next morning Mr. Owen paid us a visit with Capt. Platt. As he came in the Americans gathered around him and for some reason ha backed through the door, and held conversation with us with the grates intervening. 1 then asked him to assist me in corresponding with my friends in the United States. He refused to help me, and said that 1 would bn sent to Spain. Many of lhe prisoners then gave up al’ hope of assistance from the American Consul, and threw themselves on the protection of Mr. Craw ford, the British Consul. Two of the Mis sissippi volunteers, American, called thjmsclvcs Irish men, in order to obtain assistance from lhe English Consul. After I was released, and while remaining on board the ship Norma, the American Consul asked a friend of mine from New Orleans if 1 knew’ why 1 was released. My friend said no. Mr. Owen then said, that he did not want the credit or the blame of my release to rest upon him. My object in publishing this letter is to de fend the reputation of my gallant companions now in prison, by refuting lhe falsehoods in Mr. Owen’s letter, and to show to the American people lhe true character of their Consul at Ha vana. Will tho papers that have published Mr. C wen’s letter give this a place in their columns 3 J. A. Kelly, Late Captain Cuban Expedition. Pcauiyivaula Election. The following remarks,which wo copy from the Baltimore Clipper, in relation to the defeat of Governor Johnston, are well timed and proper. The South can no longer rely, Bays the Savannah Republican, upon either the whigs or de nocrats of the Nor h, under their old party organizations or denominations, and wc of the South must support and cherish our friends whether whigs or democrats. Hence we rejoice in the election of Bigler, the demo cratio candidate over Johnston the whig candi date, and we shall always rejoice at the tri umph of every democrat, who may be true to the South and the country, over any and every whig, who is opposed to the compro mise and faithless to the constitution ana the laws of the Government. We shall also urge unceasirg opposition to any and all democrats who are opposed to the compromise and the faithful f bscrvance and execution of its pro visions. Hence we regret the defeat of Vin ton of Ohio, a whig, by Wood, a democrat, because Vinton is a compromise man and Wood is a freesoiler, and was elected by the freesoilers of that State, who held the balance of power. The great danger to the Govern ment is not at the South, at our elections have fully shown. We have done our duty, and done it nobly. The danger is at the North. There, both the old parties have succombed to the spirit of abolitionism and fanaticism, and in many cf the Northern St-tes, the power of the free soilers controls the elections. The true pclioy of the South, therefore, is to sus tain the good and true men of the North, who will purge themselves of this dangerous ele ment, and who will stand by the constituti n and nt all hazard maintain the authority, peace and permanency of the Government. The Clipper says: “The result of the election hr Governor of Pennnsylvaiiia, so far as known, shows, that Governor Johnston is defeated cy a large ma jority. This result is neither unexpected nor undesired by u*. *ahe convention which no ininated Gov. Johnson for re election, dec ined to recognize the compromise measures of Congress, embracing the fugitive law, as obligatory in the several States; and thus left the subject of slavery open for future agitation, Gov. Johnston himself had pocketed a bill which had liaised both houses of ’he Pennsylva nia Legislature, granting the use o' the State prisons forthe confinement of fugitive slaves, and thus prevented it from becoming a law; and in other respects exhibited an abolition feeling hostile 'o the permanency of the Union, and to the beat interests of the country—and we therefore expected that he would be repu diated by ’.he people of Penmylvania, and re joice that.by rejecting him as Governor, they have stamped his principles with their disap probation, and thus proved, that their attach ment to their country is paramount to their de votion to party. The decis on gives the South assurance, that Pennsylvania will maintain the Constitution as it is,and reipcci Southern rights as guarantied by that instrument. “Col. Bigler, the democratic candidate, t ok manly ground. He openly proclaimed his de termination, if elected, to carry iuto effect the fugitive slave law, and to afford every facility to owners to recover their property. The issue was fairly made before the people, whether the Union should or should not be preserved— (for the non eiecu’.inn of the fugitive slave law would produce dissolutions—and the de cision is such as we anticipated and hoped—in favor of the Union. This will be gratifying to the South, and is a rebuke to the ultra aboli tionists of the Ncrth Had the contest be’n totally divested ofparty influences and consid erations, we believe that the majority for Col Bigler, large as it is, would have been gready increased.” Monua and Onio Railroad. - The Mobile Advertiser of the 17th inst. says; Wo are in formed by some friends who were on the track a day or two since that the contractors are pro gressing rapidly In laying ths track, and that the few hundred yards of grading on the second section will be shortly completed.

This is the of final paper of Y ucatan. and though the numbers we have in our possession are rather bare of news, we have endeavored to glean from them something of interest relative to the present condition of the Peninsula. In the Siglo of August 22d, we find a letter duted atPeto, which gives a sad account of the ravages which have been committed by the in surgent Indians in that distrlc*. The town of Poto, like all those which had fallen into the power of the Indians is almost ruined. Every where the disastrous effects ot the war are seen. Families which had once been wealthy are now reduced to poverty, the fields are deserted, crops are scarcely raised, and in fact there are not per sons enough to till the soil. Howevet, it ap pears that the tide of war has now turned in fa vor of the whites. Gen. La Vega is conducting the campaign with energy, and has rercued a large district from the power of the insurgents. Another letter dated August 22d, gives an ac count of a serious revolt which had broken out among the soldiers at Tibovuco. It appears that Lol. Kosade had ordered two soldiers to be pun ished. Some of the others tried to prevent the t um C, ?, l . On Os the . ? e ” ,enc e> and thus a serious difficulty arose, which was not easily suppressed Gen. La Vega marched to the scene of distur bance with a hundred men and succcdedin re storing tranquility. He then issued an order de daring that all persons who might revolt, or cause a revolt in the army would instantly be hung. W U learn from still another letter of the same correspondent that D. JoseCaruto Vela, cura of Isatnal, was abcut to proceed to the lines of the rebels in order to endeavor to negotiate a peace with them. Much pood is expected from his mission, as it is thought that his holy office will carry great influence with it. This does not look as though the whites were having evsrythine their own way. Vela was to be accompanied on his embassy by a commission composed of seven members be sides himself. A fight had taken place between the Indiana and Government troops in the canton of Kam poche, in which the latter claimed a decided vic tory. Gen. La Vega has given orders for all the pris oners taken by the troops to be immediately set at liberty. J Further news from the seat of war is contain ed in a letter from Peto, (which appears to be La Vegas head quarters) dated Sept. 3d. This asserts that frequent skirmishes take plaeo be tween the whites and Indians, in which the lat ter always come off second best One of the principal difficulties in the way of a successful prosecution of the war was the want of a good map of the scene of operations. It appears that the only one they had was one pub lished in this city in 1849. They are now getting up a new one on an extensive scale. Melancholy Accident.—lt is with painful emotions that we record the sudden and unex pected death, on Monday last, of Lewis Le- Conte, of Liberty county, by the discharge of his own gun. As far as wo are informed, the circumstances of this melancholy affair are as follows : Mr. LeConte left his resi dence at Walthourville in his buggy to visit his plantation some ten or twelve miles distant. He took with him his gun charged with buck shot. Within a short time after be had left his home his horse was found in the road near his s'antation, by one of his servants, with the and no one it. This circumstance cre a'ed surprise, when some ot hie servants im mediately returned with the buggy, m search of their master. The/ had not proceeded far before they found him lying lifeless in the road. The horse appears not to have been fright ened, but proceeded on until he reached the second bridge, in ascending which, the body fell from the buggy, where it was found, the horse continuing on to the plantation. We further learn that the clothing of the deceased was set on fire, and that one of his arms was somewhat burnt. The clothing of one of his legs was also much chafed and torn by the wheels of the buggy, before he was thrown out—thus leaving no doubt that the accident bad occurred before he reached the second bridge, wore he was found. The charge of the gun consisted, we are informed, of a pat tent wire cartridge, containing nine buckshot. The verdict ol the jury was in accordanee with these facit. Mr. Le Conte was in the vigour and prime of manhood, lie possessed a tt-one mind, bi hly cultivated. Honorable in his deport meni, kind and conciliating in his social rela tions, he was endeared to, and shared largely in, the confidence and regard of his numerous friends. He has left an afflicted wife, four small children, and a large circle of relatives, to mourn his untimely end, and their irrepara ble loss Whileastuden at college, the de ceased attached himself to the Presbyterian church, and, in bis life, he illustrated the graces of “faith, hope, and charity.” “ Such is bum n life, so gliding on— It glimmers like a meteor anu is gone*” —aav iu r .

Thomas Conally, was killed, and the other, John Conally, was dangerously wounded. We understand that the three young men had met at a house of bad character, when a dispute arose, and Retterree drew a pistol and shot Thomas Conally, througe ; and thenfrred upon John Conolly, wounding him danger ously in the breast. Raterree has made his escape, and a reward of S3OO has been offered for his apprehension. —Atlanta InlelHgenter 22d t'wst.

Fortunately no houses were subme-ged by the cave; but the space which will be necessary for the construc o! a new and substantial levee, will cause many a valuable mansion to be torn down.

From this, it will be s en 'hat the sth Dis trict casts nearly one fourth of the entire vole of the State. It p Ils nearly as many votes as tbe first, seventh and eighth districts taken together. This dispari y may be accounted for, in part, by the operation of the federal bas s. By reference to the last census, how ever, it will be seen that tie apportionment is grossly unequal and unjust; and ought to receive the early attention of the next legis lature. Under the late census it becomes particularly the doty of tnat body, to re organize and equalize the Districts. We hop® this wII be done fairly and honestly, without any attempt at gerrymandering.
