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. States. Taylor. Cass. V. Buren.

('mix not heard from, which will not uiuierial'v vary the result. 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. Multuin in Parvo. Whales. —A correspondent of the Savannah Republican states that a school of whales some 25 in number, came ashore, dead, on Cumber land Beach, near St. Marys, on the26tli ult. mpTbere were were on the Ist inst. at Savan nah 20 ships were loading for Great Britain.— The number of vessels in port was 24 ships, 17 barks, 16 brigs, and 7 schooners, besides coasting schooners and sloops. Gov. Graham has recommended the building of a rail-road from Raleigh to Charlotte, N. C. The lower house of the legislature of Ohio have at length settled their differences by com promise. The notorious \V. Dandridge Epes, the mur derer of Muir, was hanged a few days ago at Dinwiddie C. II , Va. He confessed his guilt. The legislature of Louisiana have appropriat ed five thousand dollars for a statue of Washing ton, by Hiram Powers. It is stated that during the past twelve years of uninterrupted peace, the national expenditure of Great Britain has increased ten and a half millions sterling. A ploughman at Wendovtr, England, lately turned up with his plough an ancient gold brace let of the intrinsic value ot IDO dollars, suppos ed lo have been deposited during the war be tween the Romans and the sons of the British king Cuuobeliu. J. T. Brodt is the fortunate holder of Colo's four pictures of the Voyage of Life. It is said that he has been offered §7,000 for them. By the Harbor Master’s report for the port of Savannah, it is shown that the annual aveingc arrivals for the last three years have been 161 ships and barques, 184 brigs, 273 schooners and sloops, 520 steamboats. Dr Franklin, in speaking of education, says : ,< If a man enities his purse into his head, no one can take itis treasure from him.” The Athcnieum states that Dr. Faraday, in pursuing his researches into the operations of magnetism, lias oh ained evident proof of some mechanical power, new to our knowledge, and connected in a remarkable manner with magnet ism. A man was lately brought before a magistrate charged with stealing a dead sheep; the magis trate dismissed the complaint, observing that there was no such thing, as when a sheep died, it became mutton. Dr. Ross, of London, says that opium and cal omel have produced the fewest recoveries, and a saline treatment the most, in cholera.

PUUSPKti i (iF 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. \V. H. ELLISON, E. H. MYERS, J. R. THOMAS, G. 11. HANCOCK. M acon, December 30, 1848. 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.
