Our letters and papers by last night’s western mail furnish some additional in formation upon the subject of the election of an interestiog aharacter, which enables tis to correct some errors in our previous «eturns,andtoadd new counties, making in the wholo fifty-three—seven remaining to he heard ftoui. Our readers will be en abled to form an opinion of the result from what fbljows. Errors, no doubt, yet exist, which will be corrected on the recoipt of fhrther advices. The present majority for Troup is 1369. There are yet seven coun ties to be heard from. Viz. Irwin, Telfair, Early, Dooly, Ware, Decatur and Appling, the aggregate of whose votes at the last election waa 1089- The majority in these 1 bounties, except Decatur, is calculated on fbr Clark. The probability upoa the whole, therefore, is that Troup will be elected by fkom five to eight hnndred majority. MAJORITIES. Troup. Clark.

At present from evetf part of the union, we receive noticea ef-lhe un usual mildness of the season, and at the north, among other inalancea, chesnut trees are said to be in bloom, whilst apple trees present the spectacle of those happy re gions Which travellers repreb&ht ae blessed with continued summer, that of fruit andbleasontsupon ths same stare.. The weather for a time past with us, has been that of summer Our umbrellas,which for merly at this time used to be struck, excopi to defend tho pedestrian against the drench ing of a cold north oaater, are still in requi sition to defend us against the rays of the tun, or as some will have it, the Comet, with his fiery tail,* snd vegetation which should be u in the sear the yellow . leaf ’* blooms in nil iti'native vigor and freshness, exhibiting forcibly the idea conveyed by “ a greeu old age.” It is gratifying to every friend of hhmani- ty, that piracy if not extirpated, has been su effectually checked by U10 exertions ol ths American squadron, (hat our ears are nu longer pained and our feelings ihouketi by its horrid atrocities. Vigilance now is only required to destroy the evil—the dan ger of the trade in plunde'r and blood, lias at length become, by the indelitignblu ex ertions of our gallaat navy, so grout, and the hope of profit held out eo diminished, that by a conltuuanca of the same industry and perseveranoe on our part, the blood hounds-will be compelled to relinquish it en tirely. The following extract of a letter from an officer on board tho U- 8. brig Spark, received at Washington, dated at Matanzas, on the 16th of September, is of a character equally favorable, with the official commu nications lately received from the common der of the Squadron in the West-Indies:— “ We have just returned from a cruize among the numerous islands and shoals in the old Bahama Channel, whero we have been, for the last six weeks, hunting fur pirates, but without success.

We know nothing of Mr. Smith, nor do we desire that ha should be considered guil ty of any charge of which he is innocent hut it is due to the Commissioners, to state that the Rev- Mr. Smith'never has been 'tried as here stated, and therefore never has been “ unanimously cleared.” He wts summoned to appear before a nommittee of the conference, but a quorum of the com raiftee, owing to the indisposition of some of its members, not. appearing, the investi gation was not entered into, and wiij not take place until January next. tons burthen, with 12 or 16, men, but with out any appearance of armament, though 1 here is little doubt that she is the piroty that has boon cruizing for some tinu between Key Sal, and the Double Headed Shot Keys.

The salutary chastisement they hsve met with and the indefatigable manner in which we now cruize, prevent any open acts of piracy. We hove been constantly in motion since we have been out, having made the circuit of the whole Island, north and eo)jth, wi|h nut having heard of any act of piracy. We are now painting, and making ready for the reception of our Charge d’Affairea to Gua- timala, Mr. Miller, whom wo are directed to carry to his place of destination.

Mexico.—Letters from Alvarado, of the 8th August, states that news had reached the castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, from Ha vana, that no further relief could be sent to tho garrison. A council was called to de vise weys snd means, when two opinions divided the meeting—one for surrendering, and the other for firing on the town until it should be compelled to send provisions. The Duke of Saxe Weimar, accompani ed by Colonel Machea, of the army, and several other officers, visited, .the fortifica tions in Nsw-York harbor on the 30th ult. on which occasion salutes were fired. It is stated in the Louisian Gufette, upon the authority of a gentleman from the inte rior of Mexico, that the death of Geo. Wit. trinuft' was currently reported, there a few days before his depsrthrc, sod the Lake here not mare titan 500 yards wide, in a scow ferry-boat, to the landing on New-York side, one mile from Furt Ti conderoga. A pleasant walk across the fields while our carriage went round,brought ua to the venerable object of our visit.—— The ruins of ths fort stand on tho elevated part of a peninsula of lond formed by Lake Champlain and the outlet of Lake George, and are very extensive and interesting, 'll ,s as is usual with the old French fortifies tion*built of stone; and an immense deal of labor must hsve been bostowed in con strutting the difficult covered ways, out works, subterranean apartments, die. The walls only of the barracks within it,' will, pieces of burnt beams still adhering to them, remain, snd we could fiud a passage to but one uf the uliantbers under grauhd This fort must ltisve been very formidable before Gen. Burgoyne took it in 1777. / Loss than n mile from it is a high rugged mountain called Mount Defiance, bn ths summit of which are the remains of a battery, con strutted hy General Burgoyne; he having dragged cannon by great labcf and perse- verance up the mountain, end thus caused the immediate evacuation of! Ticonderoga by the Americana under General St. Clair. The French who built the fort muBt have considered Mount Defiance inaccessible. »r they surely would never have placed almost at the foot of a commanding mourn tain several hundred feet above it. A short distance from the fort are the old French lines, extending with many earthen redoubts nearly acrou the peninsula. Before these works Lord Howe fell with a vast number of his men, in an unsuccessful attempt to slum it in 1768 ; and notwithstanding th great superiority of the Englph in numbers they were repulsed by the French with great slaughter. The ground bolongs to gontlemen in New-York City, who allowp no body to injure the fort, neither is the soil immediately around i| cultivated, but remains, I presume, the same as when trodden by the French and thrir ferocious allies, the Indians; whose bloo tty excursions into the then colonies, will long he remem bered. There is the remnant of a tribe of Indians living a few miles from Montreal (l' forget its name) who were conspicuous in these inroads. A gentleman I met, who lives at Deerfield, in. Massachusetts, snd who had been to see them, stated that thqy lt*d still in possession, preserved with the J greatest etre as a trophy, the boll of the churcb'of Deerfield, brought away afrer the dreadful massacre an^...captivity of its in habitants in 1704; which, with an jjn- neo* ft wbfohre*n«*le^4,.butyUppe*r to be eagerly eAW Dif fer .a settlsntsnt. poor as tk(ey ere.The water of Re Lake is very traqsparent, but from the high, wind all tho way, wo could not perceive to any depth, At 6 F.U. we arrived , at the vil logo of Caldwell, at tho head of the Lake, andstopped at Baird’s Hotel, an excellent sad memorials of the savage act. A pleasant house, situated i|u#nedietoty on the hank walk of 3 miles brought us to Ticonderoga a small and poor looking village'*! the foot of Lake George. From our long passage up Champlain, we were obliged to remeio here ebout 28 hours for the Steam-Bott.— Determined not to be idle, we chartered e couple of skill*, with the necessary imple ments to go on the Lake fishing. We were rowed about! miles when we commenced operations under the full expectation of taking trout enough to surfeit the whole village, but after half an hour% trial we gave it up in despair, without even the gaud fortune of ths snuler, who sat fishing allthe day on the strength of a “glorious nibble.” There are a number of Saw Mills here, and a manufactory of red paint be longing to a poor and industrious old man. who showed us the whale ol bis Simple pro- It is made front the red oxide ofiron. which ho obtains in any quantity from Mount Defiance, where Burgoyne erected his battery. The rock containing it, which is solid and hprd, is pulverised by stampers like those in a rice pounding machine, then goes through several successive washings, when at last, the water being undisturbed, the paint Falla to the bottom, and when dri ed is ready fur tho oil. lie calls it Ti (an abreviatian of Ticordoroga) Red, and says it is superior to Spanish Brown. I was obliged to take specimens both of the Rock and paint. 2000 wt.of rock wilt make 1600 lbs. of paint. Ou the 8th, at 12 o’clock, the Steam-Beat nut being able from the low wa ter to come to the usual landing, we had to ride about a mile and a half This steam-boat called the Mountaineer, a very appropriate name, is a beautiful little boat about 100 feet long, tails well, and is con itrncted entirely without timbers nails or spikes. She is formed with three layors of plank (with sheathing paper between) laid different ways, making a thickness of about four inches, the whole with the decks being fastened with wooden pins. The builders name I forget, bnt ho belongs to Albany. Our passage to the head oftho Lake 36 miles, its whole length was not very plea sant, the weather being dull, with rain oc- cssnnrcny; which rendered our views very gloomy. The shores of the Like tho whole distance, are immense mountains of various heights, the highest 2200 feet, all wild and uncultivated, and excepting the rocky sides of Borne, which are nearly perpendicular, covered with ferest trees. They contain Deer snd Rattle Snakes. They have all names, and one in particular was pointed out called Rogers’ Mountain. This appel lation was given from a Colonel of that namo, who was once surrounded on all qides, on its summit, but that next the the ( rater,which is nearly perpendicular, by the ndians, to whom he was particularly oh .noxious; but mrde his escape when they were sure of their victim, by sliding down on the snow with his snow shoes, in safety to the ice on the lake, when by the aid of a pair of skates, ho escaped, leaving hty pur suers with the improssion that he was aided by supernatural pnwor. The appearance of the descent is such as to jusify the sup position oftlie Indians. Tltore is a remar kable echo under auother we passed, but with all our efforts, owing to a high wind,we did not succeed in awakening it. One of our way passengers was an uld man, one of the first settlers on Lake George, who from Itis'own account was a conspicionB charac ter in the revolution, having commanded a company of Artillery, who among other mis- ventures, at the the attack of Fort Stan wick, out of his company of 62 men assured us that 60 were killed ! Hear ing qtn speak in high terras of the strength of Quebec, he immediately set me down for a “ Brittoner,” which my .companions confirmed, from which we derived consi dersble amusement, as his antipathy to-tlie English remained unimpaired, and whilst ho indulged in many invectives against them, he would endeavour to so qualify them ae not to offend the supposed English- man, invariably making the matter worse. An immense quantity of water mustdeacend from these hills into the Lake after a heavy rain. Lake George is celebrated for its mounn tain scenery, the solitude of its waters, sod the solemnity of Nature throughout, bull must confess (acknowledging the justness of its character) that before the end of pur voyage, I had seen mountains sufficient, and my eye waa wearying ibr some eviden ces of civilization, in the form of hamlets snd level cultivated fields, that afford some thing more beneficial to mankind that the is studded with islands, its whole length which art said to be in number the .same as the day* in the year, 365, and occasionally t 'T-' , /if the jreeeatatas, »*y Ire ereniedbymietake.land at Caldwell anothn-o,, •pots of ground of a few atraseach, fetter, there being six of u», each one |WMd belonged to obe Of the rest.

Nine miles from the fo rqMr we came to the flouriihing village of G|„>, Falls, on the Iludeon River, containing , number of mills and manufactories, n, e noise of which, added to that oftlie P»u, has a deafening effect. The water in the river being very low, the Falls were m u , ; |i leas grand than usual. The whole bed «f the river, which In solid rock, is here broke into* number of irregular lodges or forms, like huge stepe, down which in set- «ral streams of foam the water tumbles, rushing over the rocks under the bridp until it roaohns the level bed below.

The United States Hotel, the largest in tire plaeo, was shut up, and at Congress Hull, where we stopped, there was about twenty persons, all I presume, like myself, bound towards New-York.

Of thin distance, 1144 tittles was in steam-boats, 504 tnilos in stages, l"4 miles in Cannl boats, snd 20 miles in s bat- teau.

The village, situated on a level spot of ground, contains l suppose 600 inhabitants, and was feended about 8 years sgo by tho gentleman whose name it bears. The Lake* here is about one mile wide and seldom exceeds two in any part.— Plenty of fine fish of which the principal are Black Bass and Trout, are caught, which are excellent eating. The morning aftqi our arrival being clear end calm, the Lake when I got up, wasemboaomedin mist, and it was a glorious sight to see it ropesing on the glassy surface of the water, tlion slug gishly rise in fanciful wreaths to the face of mountain, and there cling until finally die- persed by the rays of the sun, as they gra dually reached it. I wss more pleased thir morning with the scenery around us, the Lako appearing to much more advantage than the day before. A man here has a 3 pounder which was fired for us, for which we paid hitn 60 cts —but having deferred it till a slight breeze crose, the effect was poor compared with what it would have been earlier on the night previous As it was ,however. it wu? pleasing, the report reverberating with its origiual strength, among the- ntoun'ains. with nearly the grandeur of repeated peals of Thunder. So clear is the water ol the Lake that we saw 10 fast deep the fish though of a small size, perfectly distinct al the bottom, playing around the hack of a person fishing. Immediately at tho hosd of Lake George, a short distance from Caldwell, are the mins of forts George and William Henry, Circumstances on my arrival prevented nte trout visiting them, which I regret tnu cl> as the latter is celebratod in the history ol the French wars. In 1754, the French General Baron Dioskaw, marching to at- tack the English General, Johnson’s camp, at this place, accidentally surprised Col. Williams, marching with 1000 men to the relief of Fprt Edward, on this Hudson, whom he attacked, and after a bloody contenst totally defeated. Among the elain was Col. Williams. Dieskaw moving forward to attack the Euglish Camp, was met by Johnson, and. another bloody battle follow ed, when the French In their turn were routed and rttrqatod tp the ground where the first battle Was fought. Dieskaw was killed iu this action. The remainder oi the French were-on the same day surprised while refreshing themselves, by a detach ment of English, when the third contest took place, and they were all killed or taken prisoners. In this action, the Captain who commanded the English was killed. Ou our way- to Saratoga, wa wore shown “French Mountain," whore Col. Williaint was defeated, and also the spot where kill ed. Direotly st the side of the woofi, a few miles from Lake George, is a small circular piece of water, throe or four hundred yards in circumference, into which the bodies of all slain during the day, were thrown It is aptly named the bloody pond. It is a horrible looking place, surrounded by low bushcB and entirely covered with the green floating leaves of the water lilty. It is said skulls and bones may stfll be fished up from its bottom. I shuddered iu looking at it. If ever the spirits of the dead denied the rites of sepulchre walked, it should be here. Fort William Henry, in 1757, in the fourth attempt, was taken by the French, Marquis Montcalm, after a gallant defence by its commander, Col. Monroe, who, in conse quence, obtained honorable terms, but when its garrison were marching out, the Indian allies of the French being unrestrained fell upon them, and an indiscriminate mas sacre of men, women and childrqn, and In dians, friendly to the English, followed, and upon the same ground too jhat the battles three years before were fought. The fort was then destroyed by the Montcalm, and has never been rebuilt. Fort George Was built by the English afterwards, but-is cel ebrated by no event of note. It was here that General Abercrombie, in 1768, em barked with 16,000 mon in 1000 boats, on his unfortunate nnd ill conducted expedi tion against Ticonderoga, in which Lord stinted fir tree or barren rock.
