Senator and Representatives elect ed by au uverago majority of 120 votes. This is a gain of one member to the House. Ihe Floridian says : Mr, Walker’s personal popularity and his residence in the county gave him a considera ble vote over his party strength. His friends had confidently expected a majority ot one hundred for him, and are consequently over whelmed at finding at least forty (he other way.

Santa Rosa. —A despatch from the Mobile Tribune soys: •‘Accounts received here from Sunta Rosa county, Florida, state that that county has gone for the Know Nothings. The vote is not known.” The Savannah Georgian says Santa llosa is an old Whig couuty, and has never, it be lieves, been Democratic. At the last election, Thompson, Whig, was elected from that coun ty to the Legislature. Putnam County. —The returns from this couuty arc incomplete.

At au election for State Senator and Repre sentatives in ono’of the counties of the Upper Peninsula, in Michigan, on the 80th of Sep tember, the Democratic candidates wore elect ed. The majority for Senator was about 1,000. The opposition to the Democracy had better bo careful how they put up their money on Michigan. ♦- ■ - Five In Tuskegve, Ala. We regret to hear of a very destructive tiro at Tuskegee, Ala., which broke out early yester day morning. It commenced just nbove Isbell A Montgomery’s brick store, opposite the low er hotel, and burnt the two squares betweeu the starting point aud the Macon Republican office, opposite the Masonic Hull next to the other hotel—some twenty-five buildings in nil. The brick store (in which building is the office of the South Western Baptist) was saved ; but we regret to learn that the Republican office had to bo blown up to stop the progress of the (lames, aud that a large portion of the type, furniture, &c., removed iuto the street, took fire there and was consumed. The loss of our friend Sayro must be a severe one, aud partic ularly to bo deplored just at this time. The heaviest losers, we understand, are Messrs. Gunn & Adams, merchants, nt the corner facing the Court-house on the east. Mr. Neil C. Smith, whose extensive carriage shop and live ry stable were burnt, must also be a heavy lo ser. There being no tire engine, and the buildings being so very dry ami combustible, with abreeie fanning the flames and water scarce, the fire could not he arrested until it bad swept over the extent described. It is a very serious calamity to the thriving and growing town of Tuskegee, but we trust that hat handsome town will soon recover from it and be improved in appearance by the disas ter. — Enquirer of Saturday. \ private letter received by us u Saturday, puts down the loss at $60,000. None of the buildings wore insured. It says conjectures are various as to how the tire broke out ; but no one believes it to be the work of au inceu diary. Among the many sufferers, is our friend Daniel Sayre, of the Macon Republican. His oflfioe is an entire loss— he saved nothing. Interesting Letirr from Kn*. We have great pleasure, (say* the N. A. Commercial Advertiser,) in transferring the following letter to our columns. Itiw published in the Bt. Louis Republican, and though ap pearing in a pro-slavery organ it is so evident ly written in a spirit of fairness, conciliation and patriotism, that the reader will be con strained to give his full confidence to the statement of the writer. We subjoin a tele graphic dispatch confirmatory of its gratify ing statements: Lkuompton, Kansas Territory, | September 26, 1856. j 1 occupy a position here which gives me ac cess to the earliest, and most reliable informa tion respecting passing events in this territo ry. 1 have been here but ten days, am in no way connected with either of the parties which divide and distract this beautiful coun try; have no enmities or prejudices, and am entirely prepared to do entire justice in any statements l make. Previous to Governor Geary's advent here, tlie condition of affairs was bad enough, if not worse than the most vivid picture ever drawn by human skill. Murders and cold-blooded assassinations, without number, have been coiurmtted, innu merable arsons perpetrated, woimrn have been driven naked from their blazing homes in the dead of night, houses, stores and fields have been plundered and devastated, and other outrages committed entirely revolting to the most savage natures. The inevitable consequences of such a state of affairs are plainly visible and deeply mavk ed upon this lovely territory. Business has been paralyzed, confidence destroyed, despair with squalid povevty seemed the only portion of the people. For this gloomy and terrible state there seemed no relief. The civil government was inoperative, general contempt for all authori ty prevailed, armed bands of men making war upon each other held undisturbed possession of the territory, and the reign of terror pre vailed. One party has determined to force slavery here at all hazards. The other, with equal determination, have resolved that slavery shall not be tolerated here. This state of things was fast drifting the country into civil war, and its lurid flames would have soon enveloped the nation. At this crisis, when a picked army of 2,700 .Missourians were marching upon Lawrence with a fixed determination “to wipe it out” and to serve Topeka in like manner, and to exterminate the free slate settlers of the terri tory, Governor Geary arrived at Lecompton, the capital of this territory. Without a moment’s hesitation he delivered his inaugural address (which is a document of rare ability and wise moderation,) issued his proclamation disbanding all unauthorized armed bodies of men, and took the field in person. On the same day he captured 101 free state men front Lawrence Yvho, in defiance of his proclamation, were attacking the pro-slavery men of Hickory-point, and by his bold, man ly eloquence lie dispersed the army of Mis sourians, called into the field under Secretary Woodson’s proclamation, and saved the town of Lawrence with its churches and school houses from destruction, and its inhabitants from massacre. The next day he was down upon Topeka, arrested fourteen criminals, secured an im mense quantity ol’ stolen goods and frightened Lane out of the country. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of John H. Stringfellow and other pro-slavery agitators, aud every evidence has been given that Governor Geary is determined “to do justice at all hazards,” and impartially and fearlessly to discharge all the functions of the executive office. The result of such a policy is everywhere ap parent. The two weeks of Governor Geary’s administration have been pregnant with the most beneficial results to this oppressed and afflicted country. Business is reviving. Confidence is restor ed ; men talk more kindly of each other. The axe, the saw, and the anvil are heard in their different, vocations. Free state men and pro-slavery men alike approach the Executive Chamber, with their petitions for redress, with the entire confi dence that their wants will be relieved and their wrongs redressed. Armed bodies of men no longer prowl about the country with daring impunity; citizens are returning to their claims, and every one l'eels that the be nigif influences of peace arc being shed upon us. 1 will close my hasty letter by relating a most interesting incident which occurred a few days since, as illustrative of the new Go ernor's policy, and as in my opinion full of hope of a better future for this territory. You may have heard of Col. Titus, a pro slavery man, whose cabin was burned by the free state men under Captain Walker, one of Lane’s most famous captains. In retaliation the pro-slavery men burned Capt. Walker's cabin and drove him from his claim into Law rence. The most bitter feud existed between Walker and Titus, who arc both represented as gallant fellows and the chosen representa tives of their respective parties. The pro-slavery men here speak kindly of Walker and say that he always treated their prisoners] with much courtesy nml humanity. These men, each, approaching the Governor for a different purpose, accidentally met in the Executive Chamber. Their start of surprise and their sudden flush of bate was only re pressed by the Executive presence. The Go ernor, entirely conversant with their histo ries and appreciating their positions, with that exquisite tact so natural to him, immediate ly rose nnd said, “Gentlemen, you have been enemies long enough: men of such generous natures and true instincts should he friends. I require the service of you both to assist me in restoring peace to this beautiful but dis tracted territory. For my sake, and for the sake of the country, you must shake hands and be friends.” From that moment they were friends, and it would have done you good to see the manly tear roll down their cheeks as they recounted the story of their wrongs, and pledged eter nal friendship to each other. The Governor immediately charged Colonel Titus with the duty of forming a volunteer bftttulionto preserve the peace of this neigh borhood. and Capt. Walker with thesamo duty for the vicinity of Lawrence. Such a policy must break down prejudice and restore confidence. “Let justice be done though the Heavens fall, pray to God for help aud push on the column,” is the motto of Gov. Geary, and let me assure you that no earthly consideration can ever make him swerve from it. The Philadelphia Ledger learns that the health of Dr. Katve, the distinguished Arctic explorer, is much impaired. He intends to take a trip to Europe for the purpose of restor ing iti and will leave this country on Wednes day the Bth inst. Political Items by the Africa. The foreign files by the Africa, to the 20th ult., contain some few additional matters ot interest, which we subjoin : Great Britain. —Nothing is heard of the nomination of a minister to Washington, and the inference is that it will not be made until the pending negotiations with Me. Dallas Jyive been brought to a satisfactory conclusion —an event now immediately expected. The new minister would then enter on the functions with n clear stage, free from all embarrass ments and untoward recollections. Among tlie persons suggested by public rumor us likely to be selected, Lord Howden has lately been named. In that ease the mission to .Ma drid would prove to have been to him what it was to Sir Henry Bulwor. Lord Napier, who was lately secretary to legation at Constanti noble. has also been mentioned. The London Times is endeavoring to write down prices in the grain market —with what effect remains to he seen. It is exhorting the British farmers not to withhold their supplies from the market, while they can get the highly remunerative price of sixty-five shillings per quarter, though they have been lately accus tomed to eighty shillings ; because the future foreign supplies—chiefly from this country — will reduce prices much lower in all proba bility. The Queen and Prince Albertjjwere still at. Balmoral, Scotland. Smith O’Brien has been presented with an address by the inhabitants of the baronies of Kathkeale and Newcastle, in the county of Limerick. In his reply he says : “My determination to stand aloof from tlie British Parliament continues unaltered. I have no desire again to waste night after night in witnessing or taking part in the discussion of questions relating to Ireland which are to be determined by the votes of English and Scotch members, who feel no concern about them, and do not even take the trouble to at tend the discussion, but simply vote as they are directed by tlie lenders of the English Parliamentary party.” Franck. —On the night of September 16th, about thirty persons were arrested in Paris, belonging to a secret society. Respecting these arrests the Paris correspondent of the London Times says: This society, composed of revolutionists of the most violent and dangerous kind, held a meeting, at which it is said that it was decid ed to assassinate tlie Emperor on his return from Biarriiz. Tlie police know all the mem bers oft His society, most of whom are old members of the Marianne, inhabiting the Gth, 7th and Bth arrondissnients of Paris. The majority of them are artisans. Several of those arrested arc very young, and appear in telligent and not uneducated. They have been placed in solitary confinement at Mazas, and allowed to communicate with no one.— The search made at tlieir residences has brought to light nothing that compromises them. It is said that the French Government lias ordered that no further transportations of prisoners shall be made to Cayenne. Naples. —A letter from Paris, dated Sept. 17th, says that whatever reasons there were for hoping that, the differences between Naples on the one part, and France and England on the other, would be adjusted without difficul ty, havo disappeared. Joint notes, ultima tums, recall of embassadors, and even tlie sending of a naval squadron to Naples, are now talked of as more probable than ever. Denmark. —The protracted dispute between the Danish Crown and Duchy of Holstein begins to assume more enlarged proportions. Austria and Prussia are said to have agreed on a line of policy to be pursued by them to ward Denmark, and will open negotiations at Copenhagen, while at the same time using their influence in the German Diet, to induce that body to interfere. The Principles of tlie Oslentl Manifesto. Mr. Clay, in a speech in tlie Senate of the United States, in December, .1810 on the ac quisition of West Florida, said: “It cannot be too often repeated, that if Cuba on the one hand, and Florida on the other, are in the possession of a foreign ma ritime power, the immense extent of country belonging to the United States, and watered by streams discharging themselves into the Gulf of Mexico—that is one-third, nay more than two-tliirds of the United States, includ ing Louisiana, are placed nt the mercy of that power. The possession of Florida is a guarantee absolutely necessary to the enjoy ment of the navigation ol’ those streams. “Shall we sit by passive spectator's, and witness the interesting transactions of that country, (West Florida) transactions which tend, in the most eminent degree, to jeopard our rights, without attempting to interfere? Are you prepared to see a. foreign power seize what belongs to us ? * * * It cannot be doubted that, if you neglect the present auspicious moment, if you reject the proffered boon, some other nation, profiting by our errors, will seize the occasion to get a fatal footing in our southern frontier. “I have no hesitation in saying that if a parent country cannot or will not maintain its authority in a colony adjacent to us, and there exists in it a state of misrule and disor der. menacing onr peace, and if, moreover, such a colony, by passing into the hands of any other power, would become dangerous to the integrity of the Union, and manifestly tend to the subversion of our laws, we have a right, on the eternal principles of self-preser vation, to lay hold upon it. This principle ftlo’ne, independent of any title, would warrant our occupation of AVest Florida.” The above extract can be found on pages eleven and twelve of the. first volume of tho ! life and speeches of Henry Clay, published ; by Greeley & McElrath, New York. 1843. Pennsylvania Politics. Harrisburg, Oct. 7.—The “Republican” State Committee and the Committee of the : North “Americans” met to-day, but adjourned till the 16tli instant without forming a fusion electoral ticket, the principal object of the meeting. The “Americans” refused to aid in the formation of anew ticket. The city was filled with prominent politicians. Tltnddeus Stevens, Thnrlow Weed, Preston King, Mr. Nye aud Mr. Sanford of New York, Gov. Johnston. James Yeaeh. Sr., Simon Cameron and others, were circulating among the com mittees. Another dispatch styles this a fruu -1 dnlent attempt to obtain a conference of the different committees, as notices had been sent to members as though by authority of the Chairman of the Committee, hut the fraud was detected and very few members were in attendance, and those refused to countenance the attempt. Before thotimo of Pope Innocent 111, (1118) there was no solenmizatiou of marriage in the church, but the bridegroom came to the bride’s house, nnd led her home to his own, which was all the ceremony then used. - - ♦ Nearly 10,01)0 patents havo been issued in Wosbington since the Ist of January—a great , cr number than ever before issued in tho same I period. The Protestant Episcopal Triennial Convention The following is an extract of the third day's proceedings of the House of Deputies: After the opening services, aud disposing of the report of the committee on elections, a resolution wtis adopted (provided the House of Bishops concur) admitting tlie Diocese of California into the Union with the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U. S. of America. Special committees were called for, and Rev. Mr. Williams, of Virginia, offered a minority report on the canon relative to the trial of Bishops. Tt was ordered to he print ed. Rev. Dr. Trapier, of Charleston, offered a resolution to confine Bishops to their own dio ceses, which was referred to the committee on canons. Judge Hoffman, of New York, moved that the House then proceed to the consideration of the alteration of the sixth article of the constitution. The motion was carried. Judge Hoffman, of New York, then arose again, and referred to the proposed alteration of the constitution. The clause in question is as follows, the words quoted constituting the amendments: “ The mode of trying Bishops shall be pro vided by the General Convention. The court appointed for that purpose shall be composed of Bishops only. Jn every diocese the mode of trying presbyters and deacons may be in stituted by the Convention of the Diocese “un til the General Convention shall provide a uni form mode of trial.” None hut a Bishop shall pronounce sentence of admonition, suspension, or degradation from the ministry on any clergyman, whether Bishop, Presbytery or Deacon.” It was moved by the Rev. .1. 0. Talbot, of Indiana, that the Committee on Canons he re quested to take into consideration the 4th canon of 1850, “ Os the Episcopal Visitations,” with a view to inquire whether it is sufficient ly explicit with reference to theduty ofa Bish op, to visit every Parish in the Diocese. Adop ted and adjourned. Fourth Day. —After some unimportant bu siness Mr. Luther Bradish, of New York, nar rated the proceedings of the trustees appoint ed at the last Convention to take care of the fund for the relief of sick, infirm and aged clergymen, and their willows and orphans, and offered a resolution, which was adopted, for the appointment ofa committee of five, with the concurrence of the House of Bishops, to nominate Trustees. The Rev. P. Trapier, of South Carolina, arose to refer to his resolution of yesterday in reference to the committee on canons, ile mentioned that he sincerely hoped that more courtesy in future would characterize the pro ceedings of the Convention than that which existed upon the offering of his resolution, which had been termed indecorous. The reso lution simply read to amend article third of the constitution so as to make the House of Bishops set with open doors, except when making nominations or elections for the episcopacy. Such a resolution did not imply distrust of that reverend house, but simply evinced a desire to hear and profit by the ac tions of those who are but co-legislators.— The speaker quoted an expression in reference to matters which were referred to in the House of Bishops, to the effect “ whatever en tered never reappeared.” He then laid the resolution to the above effect upon the secre taries’ table. On motion, the Rev. Mr. TVs resolution was laid on the table. A message was received from the House of Bishops announcing that they concurred in the resolution for the admission of the Diocese of California. Rev. Mr. C. B. Wyatt and Hon, Edward Stanly appeared from that Diocese, and answered to their names. On motion of Dr. Stevens, of Pa., the Com mittee on Canons xvero requested to report what alterations were necessary in the min istration of Divine service, aud greater effi ciency to the practical workings of the church. The discussion on the revision of the 6th article of the constitution was then resumed. Rev. Mr. Trapier, Rev. Dr. McMaster, and Rev. Dr. Hawks opposing, and Judge Cham bers, of Maryland, favoring the’ amendment, U. S. Naval Officers Insulted. An insult has been offered to the officers of thesloop-of-war Cyane, by some rowdies in the streets of Halifax. The Halifax*Recorder of the 27fh ult., thus relates the circumstances: “ We are sorry to learn that, on the evening of Tuesday last, a party of tlie officers of the United States corvette Cyane were grossly in sulted whilst passing through some of our streets. They were followed up by a crowd, who very emphatically advised them to “go to Grey town,” and shouted out various in sulting expressions and opprobrious epithets after them. One of tho insulted party, we understand, expressed a willingness to give a licking to the best man in the crowd, but the individuals who composed the latter pre ferred. it seems, limiting themselves to giving the foreigners a piece of their mind.” A Southern Song for Northern Ears. A lady from New Hampshire, who is nowou a tour South for her health, arrived here last night and took a carriage for a friend’s resi dence. On passing one of the tobacco facto ries. on tlie route, she heard tho hands sing ing lustily some song of their own, afid pul ling the check string she inquired of the dri ver what church they were passing, and re marked that it was a singular time for divine services. The driver put her right upon the subject by giving her the points. “ And they are negroes singing,” site said. “I had no idea that negroes knew how to sing, in the South.” “Dey beats dc white folks some times,” was the reply of the driver. The la dy received a few instructions on the subject of singing, from the lips of the slave, which gave her such a different opinion of the South ern institutions, to what she had formerly held, that after she arrived at her destination, she declared all her New Hampshire pre judice* extinct—and believed that slavery, after all, was far from what she had been taught to believe it was. How to get Fruit Trees to Your Liking. In the fall (October or November) take a branch of an apple or pear tree, such as suits your taste, take off down to the third year’s growth, cut it smooth and rub it on a red hot iron so as to scorclt and shut the pores of the wood thoroughly; then bury in the ground all but the last year's growth. If placed in good ground and well taken care of, you will have fruit in five or six yours. I have sometimes dipped the lower end iu melted rosin, but think burning preferable. I have a tree near my door that is nino feet high and well proportion ed that 1 took a graft from four years ago; to this was rosin applied, and whatever sprouts sprung up the next summer bent down and be came roots. We can get fruit considerably quicker this way than from seeds, and we know what we have growing, and when grown the whole tree is ot the saute kind, and whatever sprouts come from the roots in after years can be transplanted without grafting. In case of drought the first year, they should be watered. J. Beck Kith, in the A 'etc England Farmer.

Berrien, of this State, in tli- Augusta Chronicle. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 29, 185(1. J■ IF. M. Berrien , Esq., Dear Sir : Your two favors of the 25th ins have just come to hand, and furnish addition al evidence that I tun constantly misrepif. sented both North and South. In the Nortli I am charged with being a pro-slavery man seeking to extend slavery over free territory, and in the South I arn accused of being sn abolitionist. But lam neither, and as Ihivt invariably refused to give any pledges,otLe; than such as might be inferred from my knows character and previous official conduct, Ihaw not answered to tlie public any of tin charges. If, after all lliavc done, and allili sacrifices I have made to maintain the Consti tutional rights of the South, she still distrust* me, then, I can only say, that, I hope she may find one more just and more fearless and sell sacrificing than I have been, and that when found, she may show her gratitude by her confidence. And so of the North—if after all I have done to maintan her Constitutional rights and advance her interest, she distrusts me, i hope she may find one more worthy of her confidence and bestow it accordingly.’ I shall have no regrets for myself in either case. 1 am only anxious that the country should be well governed, and that this unfortunate sectional controversy between the North and the South should be set tled, and a fraternal feeling re stored. But I apprehend, that the difficult} is, that the extremes on each side want a President favoring their own peculiar views as against their opponents. I can not con sent to be such a candidate for either side. 1 am for the whole Union, North and South. East and West, and if my countrymen will not accept me on those conditions, 1 shall no: complain. Tlie enclosed article, copied into the Rich mond Whig from the Buffalo Commercial, speaks my sentiments on the Missouri Com promise. It may or may not suit your lati tude, but I have not one thing for the Soiiih and another for the North, and therefore-1 send it. In conclusion, permit me to express my sin cere thanks for the kind interest you have manifested in my success as the candidate of the Union. 1 remember your lamented brother well, and was proud to call him my friend. 1 wish his valuable life could ban been spared to aid us in this struggle to save our country. With sentiments of respect, 1 am. truly anil sincerely yours, MILLARD FILLMORK. P. H. I write in haste, without time to copy or correct. FrtgUtful Ferocity ill a Married Man. “ A lady, who had been in a bathing mi ehine at Southend, left behind a gold waul* worth 1225, and a massive gold chain, neither of which has been recovered.” A savage, yet married man, reading the above in a weekly paper, made a series nt remarks, which may be worth preserving ‘*• proofs of the ferocity of male nature : “Os course she did. A woman would leave her head behind her. if she had one,and it was loose. “ Besides, what do they care for valuri lll property? They don’t pay for it.
