Floriduft Election. the Savannah Mews of Thursday morning -ays tho returns thus far received from Fiori na, show a large Democratic gain ovor the vote for Governor iu October, and indicate a largo majority for Buchanan. Gadsden, Wakulla and Madison counties, which gave American majorities iu October, now give 140 majority for Ottcbantn. The Democratic gain in Duval is 11:1. Every county yet heard from, shows a gain for the Democrats over the Governor's election, Buchanan’s majority iu the State will probably be about 1500. The Suicide of Dr. Poritinn. Tho Americas News of tho 12th instant, gives tho following account of the cause which led t‘i this rash act. The News says “Dr. Per kins cnine to this place on hist Tuesday, furn ished with the moans of paying a note in Bank upon which several of his friends were rospou sible. Not having an opportunity to transact on tho evening of hi. arrival, ho put tip at Shaw’s house, for the night. Be coming intoxicated during(the evening, he fell a prey to tho snares of the gambler and bu t his money. His noble* and sensitive nature, overcome by the calamity which had befallen him, he sought refuge from his troubles inn termination of his life. For this purpose, lie took a largo quantity of Morphine and also in flicted several wounds in his arm, severing radial the artery at his wrist. “ The indignation of the good citizen* of the city was excited to tho highest pitch, against the perpetrators of the* deed which led to the sa l occurrence. Tiie Mayor, P. If. Oliver, called together the eitizon.s.onMonday evening u * consider the matter, and to organize’ for the suppression of vice in general, and of gambling iu particular, in this community. The pro ceedings of this meeting will he found in an other column. During the mooting Charles lb ( raw ford, .l.sfj., pronounced a handsome eulo gy ou the clmrocterof the deceased. Dr. Per kins was ft man of brilliant iutelleet, noble and generous impulses, worm attachments and pure and honorable principles, lie Served the county of Handolph in the legislature, and en joyed n large share of tho, public esteem and confidence.’ 1 The Irish census tables, just published, re port that iu one year there were 21,770 deaths from starvation! The editor of the Medical Times, commenting upou this appalling state ment, says: “ The figure must be far short of the* truth. ThO harrowing details given iu tho body of the report leave no doubt that multi tudes perished by tho wayside, and in the cheerless Irish hovel, whom neither policeman nor coroner’s inquest ovev took note of.” Golden Weddings. Tilt following, which v;c iiiitl in uufxchangc, Confirms us in the belief, tjpit “all is not gold that glitter.*.” Wc liave always bad a doubt if these “golden wedding” presentations were bonajiilt gifts., The extract hows we wm pot wrong in our irapre- ion *. Fi’i la ntirnhttg. “Anew thing under the sun is reported by a Baltimore paper, which, mutes that the bridal gifts displayed on the table at weddings, arc hired fronfjewellers for the purpose. It is stated that-there is one silver coffee pot in that city, that has figured at three dozen weddings ns “the gift of my uncle.” That is a little too much to be believed. The world, is given to humbug, but tiic idea id’ silverware to show fiS gifts, is t<io ridiculous to be credi ted. Hut the tools are not all gone yet.’’ • V- -i- TUmbetting on Kentucky on the Fresiylentlal election, it is - stated, lias been very heavy. The Cincinnati Commercial says that it know of many instances of bets of extraordinary magnitude. Farids, negro?*, cn<4f, everything that is property in Kentucky, has been ..talced flrronghout the Btr.te. Hundreds of men are i doubtless ruint: i, and thousands sorely iinpov ! erivhed, the State having gone Donocratic. ’ Several instance* of great confidence in j Americanism, in Kentucky, occurred in this • place and vicinity. IVe have heard of at least two mule (lrivci s who risked sleek on the re sult of Kentucky. One who was*stopping in this place, had such , confidence in his “Kon luck” that.,, ill the face of dispatches stating that Kentucky had gone for Buchanan By about six thousand, put. up a three hundred dollar mule against otic thousand dollar?, that the State had gone for Filluwro. Wc understand lie i-i yrt, patiently waiting for tin* official vote to.decide the matter. • -T- * Commercial Convention. ‘flu* fallowing gentlemen have been appoint ed by Mayor Wilkins to ropre oat Columbus ir. the Ctitntnerdial Convention which is to a* o*ij:- IMiu Savannah mist luonlh : • John lime, 11.

We learn from a friend, who lmd some en quiry made, a few days ago, in the Mobile market, that Southern Bank of Alabama stock was held at $l7O per share: Central Bank of Alabama, (In this city,) at $l2O a $125 ; and the Commercial Bank, (at .Selma,) which has, as vet, done no business, at slos.—Wontgom r>, WoP. ♦ . - Peaceable Emigrants. Gov. Geary, of Kansas, lias lately been fierce ly abused in the Black Republican press, be cause lie prevented, as they assert, a peacea ble company of emigrants from entering the Territory. How peaceable they were and for what purposes they came, may be imagined, when We state there was found with them tho following implements of husbandry: 4 cannons, 155 breech loaded muskets, I(10 cniuicu musket, lit) sabres, 2 officers sabres, 11 kegs of powder, 2500 cartridges, 1 drum. There was also a quantity of lead and sev eral hundred of Sharpe’s rifles urnl revolvers. The truth was, it was an armed batalion, commanded by Generals l’ouieroy and Ferry, sent into Kansas to promote civil war and strife. Who will blame the Governor for his course. —O.nre'/oJY. /W ladium, ♦ Fast Theatricals. A wager of SIOOO, has been made in New Verb, by Brougham, that lie and his company will perform in both New York and Philadel phia in she sumo night, the distance being nearly 100 miles apart. The arrangement is to perform on Thursday evening ne.:t, a petite comedy iu New’ York, fiuislilng by 8 o’clock, then to tnko a special express train to Phila delphia by ten, and perforin at the. Circus the Extravaganza of Pocahontas. The ai rangemeut will require the locomotive to travel about 60 miles an hour; and to provent any accident, it is designed to have a man with a fiamheausta tiouod at every mile along tho route and bon fires every three milez. The performance is to conclude with a banquet at the Girard House to the New 1 ork guests. This is certainly one of the most extraordinary wagers ever made, and will require very nice calculation and ex act time to enable the task to he :u • nnpli.-h.ed successfully.— Sat'. Jltpwh. V- ♦ Negroes not Citizens. An important decision bus been made by the .Secretary if State in reference lo the citizen ship of negroes. A few days since an appli cation was made by cloven persons of color, composing a troup of minstrels about to start up n a foreign tour, and the State Department | replies through ti. 11. Thomas, Assistant Se cretary, to tho effect that those being negroe*, they are not citizens of tho United States; that the question being raised as to whether they were citizens within the intent and mean ing of tho act of Congress regulating the for •ign und coasting trade in 1821, Mr. Wirt, Vt torney General of the United States, decided that they wero not. The same doctrine was 1 held by the Supreme Court of Tennessee, in (lie c; a* of the - State vs. Claiborne, and such being the construction of the Constitution with regafd to free persons of color, it is conceived that they cannot bo hold, when beyond the ju risdiction of this country, its entitled to the full rights of citizens.
