Popular Vote for President.
Tlic subjoined Table shows the popular vote
given at the last election for the three principal
candidates for President of the United States.—
The figures in the Table represent nearly the
full vote of all the States, except Texas, from
which no official report has been received. S.
Carolina is not included, because the vote of
that State is given by her Legislature. There
were, in all, about four thousand scattering
votes which are not enumerated in the table.
Most of these scattering votes (that is, 3,657 of
them) were given in the States of New York and
New Hampshire.
It will be seen that the majority of Gen. Tay
lor, the Whig candidate, over Gen. Cass, the
Democratic candidate, falls but little short ofthe
majority obtained in 1840 by Gen. Harrison
over Mr. Van Buren. The Whig majority then
was 146,000, and now, without Texas, it is
144,000. We presume that Gen. Taylor’s ma
jority over Gen. Cass would have been equally
as great if there had been no third candidate in
the field.

The Growth of the West.— -No one (re
marks the editor of the Cincinnati Atlas,) who
is not on the spot can form an adequate idea of
the rapidity and completeness with which towns
and settlements have been made on the Upper
Mississii pi. During the season past, four steam
boats have run regularly to the Falls of St. An
thony, and had more business than they could
do. Anew boat has been proctirtd, and five
- boats will run to the Falls the next spring
When wc consider that the Falls ofSt. Anthony
tire seven hundred miles above Ft T.< uis, in the
heart of w hat was recently the Indian country,
we can understand that such abusin' >s now is a
wo'iidei fti! fact. Pitch Taels, however, are con
s antly occurring. The flood of emigration is
spreading over the Northwest with resistless en
ergy. At the Falls es St. Croix, sixty miles
North of the FallsofSt. Anthony, there is a great
and im erected, which is calculated for fifteen saw
mills. The country is full af fine timber, and
the lumber business is now the principal pursuit
there. At the mouth of Crow Wing, fifty miles
West ofSt. Anthony, there arc also settlements.
In jh.it r mote region, the process of population
and civilization is going on w ith great rapidity
I.i less than twenty years, Wisconsin, lowa and
Minesota will contain two millions of people ;
and long before that time new waves of cini'mi
t’oir w ill How far beyond that, into new wilder
ness lands. Thus a large part of that population
w hich comes from Europe will he absorbed in
prairies and woods untrodden by civilization.
Puebla the Lowell of Mexico. — Gen.
Thompson, in his Recollections of lOoxtco, sin s
“Puebla is a beautiful city, with lofty houses
Imilt in the purest sty le of architecture, and broad
and remarkably clean streets. Its police is great
ly superior to Mexico. The Cathedral ofPuebla
is a magnificent edifice, which has been said,
though hardly with justice, to rival the Cathe
dral in Mexico. Pucblr is the Lowell of Mexi
co. The principal cotton manufactories are lo
cated there, and some of them in very success
ful operation, which ran he said of very few
others. The English and other foreign mer
chants had, in 1842, either by the force of argu
ment or some more potential influence, induced
the President to consent to the admission, on
more favorable terms, of coarse cotton goods;
but the united and violent opposition of the
manufacturers of Puebla defeated (he* arrange
ment. Very few oftheso establishments in Mex
ico were prosperous, or ever had been, although
the price of an article of cotton goods is in Mex
ico thirty cents a yard, which sells in the United
States for six cents. This results from many
causes, w hich appear insuperable. The first of
these is the high price oft| lo raw material,which
ranges from 40 to 20 cents per pound, aad in such
articles as coarse cottons, the raw materials con
etitutes the chief element of value. The impor
tation of raw cotton cotton is absolutely for
bidden.”
Ii nnsyi.vania.—The Legislature met on
the 26th ult. In the Senate the Whigs have a
majority of seven-the House is tied. A United
States Senator is to he elected ; the term ofthe
lon. Simon Cameron expires on the 4th of
March next.
Congress. — On the 27th, in the House, the
motion of Mr. Stuart of Michigan, made a few
days since to reconsider the vote by which Mr.
Gott's resolution was adopted, instructing the
Committee on the District of Columbia to report
a bill abolishing the slave-trade therein, was
stated by the Speaker to be first in order—the
immediate question pending being the motion
of Mr. Wentworth to lay Mr. Stuart's motion on
the table. This was decided in the negative,
58 to 109, and the whole subject was then post
poned for two weeks.
California Adventurers. —The “stream
of human life, says the Albany Evening Journal,
is now setting as irresistibly towards California
as Dr. Johnson describes its current through
Fleet street, in London. We are not absurd
enough to think arresting this current ? hut a
few suggestions in relation to the route and its
embarrassments tnay not be wholly unprofita
ble.
The gold attraction is so strong that few are
willing to lose the time necessary to go by water
round the Cape or by the overland route.—
Toousands rush impulsively to Chagres for the
purpose of getting “across lots” to Panama, for
getting that they are then more than three thou
sand miles from their El Dorado.
The voyage to Chagres, over two thousand
miles, is usually a pleasant one. But Chagres is
a town with few inhabitants, no accommodations
for strangers,and wretched facilities for travel
ers. There is little or no variation ofthe ther
mometer, and its climate for strangets is as bad
as miasma and fever can make it.
Unless the facilities for taking passengers front
Panama to San Francisco should be greatly in
creased, thousands will be necessarily left there
fir mouths, in a situation which can as easily
be imagined as described.
(O’The Memphis Herald ofthe 19th ultimo
says: “The best portion of the crop of cotton
having come in, it is ascertained to a certainly
that the crop will fall short full one-third of a
crop. This we understand will he the case in
West Tennessee and North Mississippi ’’ The
Yazoo Democrat, ofa late date says: “Judging
from the falling off in the receipts at jhis port,
thus far, and in other portions from which we
have heard, there enn be no doubt that the cot
ton crop of 1845, in Mississippi, will fall shot l
by at least one-half.” Another paper says : “It
;s believed that the cotton crop of Red River
tiiis r ear will fail short at least 29per coat., as
compared with that ofthe last season.”
O’ Ed tealion ought to have two foundations,
morality and prudence—morality to strengthen
virtue, prudence to defend against the vices o*
others. In making the balance lean to the side
•*f morality, you make dupes or martyrs; in
tlir .wing the preponderance on the other side,
you make egotistic calculators. The principle
of til! society is to do justice to one's self and to
others. Ifone ought to love his ncjhhhoras him
self, it is, at least, as right to love himself as his
neighbor.
O’ The Baltimore Biiu, ofthe 23d ins!., says
that “the Judiciary Commi'lee in the U. 8 Se
nate, ro which is referred Mr. Douglass’bill for
the admission at once of California and New Mex
ico es a Slate into the Union, (leaving the ques
tion of shivi rv to lie settled by the people Them
selves,) is composed of four Southern Senators,
and otte Northern, as follows:—Butler, of S
O; Berrien, ofGa.; Westcott, of Fla; Downs
of La., and Dayton, of New Jersey.
ffj’ The steamer Palmetto, loaded with Cot
ton, struck a snag, 29th ult., on the Clmttahoo
chic river, below Eufaula, and immediately
sunk.
Horrible Story. —Female Heroism. —The
Cincinnati Commercial jells a horrible story, if
i true. It says that a gang of horse thieves in In
diana, weulto the house of an old German, who
had §SOO in his possession tied him and his
wife and three children hand and foot to the
floor, by raising ode of the planks and fastening
the ro; e to the, sleeper ; then robbed the house,
and takinga featherbed and a straw bed, threw
it over the confined group, set them on fire, fas
tened the door, and decamped.
In a tew moments the robbers were out of
sight, and the fire of the lighted beds was grow
ing hotter and hotter, What was to ho done?
All tried the strength of the cords thus bound
upon them time and agatn 1 The fire grew hot
ter and their exertions greater. At length the
wife and mother broke loose from the sleeper—
she was yet tied hand and foot. A thought struck
her? She rolled—for she could not walk—to
the fire-place, thrust her hands into the burning
etnqers, and held them there till the fire burnt
ofl the cords that cound her hands ; she unions
ed her feet and saved her husband and children.
The fire had not injured the latter badly, and the
husband flew for assistance, but as tiiis unfortu
nate family lived some distance from neighbors,
it A\as a long time before help arrived. One of
the friends participating in the attempted des
,ruction of this innocent family, was, say the
accounts, let loose here by means of the abuse
of the habeas cor pi s act. Humanity shudders
at the thought of such villainy as is depicted a
hove. To the undeard of heroism of that wife
and mother, the whole family owe their escape
from a terrific, slow death. Never in our life
have we heard of such a thrilling escape, or seen
in a more hideous aspect the wickedness of the
abandoned.
Accident. —We learn from the Savannah pa
pers that as the freight train on the Central Rail
Koad was about leaving the Twenty Mile Sta
tion on the 2d inst. two laborers who had been
at work in the neighborhood, attempted to jump
upon the ears after they had started. One fail
ing to do so, dropped between them and the
wheels passed over It is legs crushing them so
badly that he hied to death. They had previous
ly been refused a free passage to Savannah by
the conductor, and attempted to get on the train
in defiance of his orders.
O-It won’t do to be desperately enamored nf
a pretty face, till you have seen it at the break
fast table.

T Sa e Crusader#
undersigned have adopted the :.ki.ve,.m
i the sisiitficaut title of a Alonlhly Piq ii,
which with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to ptiblis'i in 11-e City of Macon, to tie (!■■
voted to the intf:cst* of 'l'miipetiilice, Educa
tion and Religion.
'l’he plan of this work was first suggested, in
view ofthe rapidly growing ntimbcis w itbin the
ranks of the Sons of Tempi lance, anti ti e iu
creasing demand for light, touching (lie objects
and movements of this bcnevident and flourisk
ing“Order.” We believe that a Divine ngen-v
1 is manifest in the startling progress and t.iumpi s
l of this great moral organization. It is God’s
work. Ho is now summoning his “embattled
hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged tlie earth. Temperance, there
: fore, will stand prominent upon our banner.
But w hile we march under the “triple flag,”
and solicit the patronage and fostering care of
“The t-ons,” yet, we shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education at <1
Religion. “The Order of the Sons,” we regard,
under God, as the handmaid of the Church, the
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way ofthe
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make Utc
I'i'tlNildcr a work of standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for u-efulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS:
TIIO Crusader will he issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto’ pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, payable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second Num
ber will in no case he sent to a subscriber unless
the subscription price shall have been forwarded
previously to the time of its issue.
Persons acting ns agents will receive ten per
cent, upon all amounts remitted. Upon the re
ception of twenty cash subscribers, tlie agent
shall also be entitled to a copy of the work as u
bonus. It is especially desired that those whe
may become agents, or may interest themselves
in obtaining subscribers, will act immediately,
and forward such names as may be pledged,' at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make our first issue by the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can be secured.
Editors who njay he friendly to the enterprise,
w ill oblige us by giving this Prospectus an inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an extia
copy of The Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either
of the Editors.

THE liLOUE :
. I Congressional , .Agricultural and Literanj
.Yeicspupcr.
riIHE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro-
I. pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports of its debates, in receiving and malting
the Globe the official register, they intend to add
promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re
eoinmcndcd the work. They will publish a
Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de
bates ns they occur; and a Congressional Globe
I periodically, as heretofore, embodying the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will uccompnny them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news from all rpiar
lc rs, and complete the contents hv drawing from
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture. For
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treating of such sub
jects, will he consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will he obtain
ed from the most enlightened and practical tin 11
of our country.
'i lie Globe, as n newspaper, and ns a vehicle
of information and amusement in otlierrespec's,
will he under the charge of Francib P. Bi.air
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will be under the management of John C. Rives.
The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as
connected with the press. In introducing Mr.
Pickett as one of the concern, they will he al
lowed to say a few words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge
li'Attaires to Peru. From iiis pen mainly inu
(slohe w ill derive the selections and translations
from the French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other liternry arlieles
which will he found among its chief attractions.
The Globe will he published daily during the
session of Congress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will ho the vehicle of the
miscellaneous nrtf .des of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
1 lie Congressional Globe will embody, as it
lias done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioceedingsand debates exclusively.
The Appendix/ will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast ns the proceedings Os Con
gress will make a number. Subscribers may' ex
pect one number of each a week during the first
four weeks of n session, and two or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of
1 lie session.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in tlie Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to he an impmtial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party line. The Editors of the Globe
have borne their share in the party conflicts of
the press They claim an honorable discharge
from the vocation. The Globe wil| inviolably
maintain the neutrality which its relation to
Congress imposes.
