these large land overshadowing majorities arc objectionable. Party strength should be more equally diffused and distributed. This dis tribution will create a wholesome responsi bility, and a more natural relation between the representative and his constituents. It will make the former feel that he is but the agent and the servant of the latter—not their dictator and master. Tub Telegraph.— ln reference to the in crease of rates for newspapers, the Atßuta In telligencer says: •* We are sorry for the move very!— for we shall have to cut short our ac qaintanoe with our invisible interlocutor after the 15th inst., and suffer his voice uo more to bo heard in our sanctum. He would soon eat out all our living were we to continue to en tertain him, and minister to his increased vo racity. We hope the press will band together to resist his inordinate demand upon us." Hog* ! Hogs !! —The Ringgold Republican ot the Oth inst., says : “On Thursday last a large drove of Hogs, the first this season, pass ed through our town, en route for the Charles ton market." Post Oppice Robbed.— The Savannah Re publican of the Bth inst., says : “ A negro boy, named Sam, was arrested on Friday last for robbing some of the key boxes of the post office. This u not the first time he has been guilty of this crime, as he acknowledges that he had succeeded heretofore in obtaining $26 from a letter which he had purloined. A large number of letters, address ed to various individuals, and the half of a hundred dollar bill were found in a oellor where he usually works, whioh he also confessed he had taken from the four different boxes which his key fitted. The boy has been committed to jail." Oov. Bull op Texas.—This gentleman (say the N. O. Creseent,) has been said to be a whig in politics. It is a mistake. In his ad dress, when a candidate, he avowed himself a democrat. But there appear not to have been any party lines drawn in the Texas election, >Y\l the whig* are believed to have voted very for Col. Bell. lie is a Virginian by and brother-in-law of Governor Smith, V Extra Billy," as the political press used to Fcall him. ELECTION RETURNS.

We give above n summary of the returns received for members of the Legislature. They are taken from various sources, and may, per haps, be altered by tho official returns. Mammoth Squash.— The Macon Journal A Messenger says : “ Most of our readers will remember the celebrated Mammoth Squash which we last year received from a friend in Savannah. The seed from which it was grewn was brought several years since by Lieut. Anderson of the Navy, from the shores of the Mediterranean. Its wonderful size and great delicacy of flavor a* a table vegetable, induced us to distribute the seed very extensively among our agricultural and horticultural friends. The late severe irost in April des troyed nearly all tho vines, and we had al most despaired of saving even the seed. The following note, however, from our friend, Mr. Walker, shows that he has succeeded in pro dueing tho squash in its greatest perfection. We will keep the specimen sent us by Mr. W., in our office for exhibition, until the month of November. In the meantime, if any others have succeeded in their efforts, we would bo glad they would send us specimens, together with a description of the mode of culture, and the quantity and management of the soil in which they are grown. Our plant ing friends generally, will be furnished with the seed upon calling at this office.” LoNosTitnET, Pulaski County, ) Sept. 25th, 1849. J Messrs. Chapman Hose :—l send you by tho boy, a squash raised from the seed you gave me last year. It weighed when fully grown, 1054 lbs. It has dried a little since it was pulled—you had better weigh it again, as I think it will weigh about 100 pounds, though it has been off the vine nearly five weeks. From the seed you gave me I saved only two vines. From these vines we used the young squashes for our table every day for four or five weeks before we left the Bprings, which was on the 24th of July. We return ed on the 19th of September and found the vines bearing finely. We have had young squashes for dinner every day since, and have besides, so me twelve or fifteen matured squashes nearly as large as the one I send you. It is beyond all question, one of the most delicious and prolific vegetables I havo ever seen. Respectfully yours, G bough j Ghkav Invention —lmproved Piano. —-A Mr. Alexander Bobaiu, of Paris, says the Journal des Debats, has recently made an improvement on the piano, which will create quite a revolu tion in the musical world. It attracted great attention at the recent exhibition of manufac tures in Paris. It is a mechanical apparatus, capable of being applied to all ’pianos, and by means of which every kind of piece can be ex ecuted Quadrilles, polkas, waltzes, &0., spring as if by enchantment from this combi nation, under fingers the least practised, and the most unacquainted with the instrument. If one wishes to give a soiree or a country party, there is no need of looking about for performers; each member of the company can furnish his contingent of harmony, and pass in turn from dancing to music. Frost. —We are informed by a passengor who arrived in the cars yesterday, that there was distinct appearances of frost in the neigh borhood of Columbia, and for ten miles below. Char. Mer. oth. Wool Raisixq —Wool raising in Illinois is drawing considerable attention. In Peoria county, the number of sheep is said to be 30,000, of which the venerable Bishop Chase owns a flock of 2000. Costly House. —We learn from the Albany Atlas, that M. McArdcl, of that place, sold his famous trotting horse Mae, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, for $4,000. Alabama Enterprise. —We learn, says the State Guard, that a gentleman or the lower part of tjte Alabama river is now constructing, and will soon have in operation a floating saw mill, to be propelled by steam, so as to travel to any point on the river and deliver orijprs for lumber. TUw, no doubt, will proye a pro fitable investment. South Carolina Institute. —We are in structed to state that, at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Institute, held on Friday evening, sth inst., it was Resolved, That the time of holding the first Annual Fair of the Institute be postponed un til the third week in November, and that the Fair be opened and the address by Jag. H. Hammond, Esq., be delivered on Tuesday ijight, 20th November. We tio informed, (says the Charleston Bee tling News,) that s pumber of letters have been received by the Institute i. guj persons engaged in mechanical and manufacturing pursuits, intimating their intention to be present at the Fair with model specimens of their skill in the various branches of their art. The ladies also, from various points of our State, arc expected to contribute, and no doubt Is entertained but that the commencement of the enterprise will usher in most triumphant auspices of a suc cessful future. Frost.— There was a slight frost in the vi- ; oinity of Jackson, Miss., on Tuesday morning j the 2oth September. The Case es J. M Barrett. We learn from the Telegraph that this case has been continued until the spring term of tho Court, and thatjßarrett is admitted to bail in the sum of SI,OOO. The case came up en Thursday last, and was postponed at the instance of the Solicitor, who desired to procure important testimony, which could not be obtained before next term. Barrett may choose to forfeit his bail, rather than risk a trial. He has been dealt with as any other offender against our laws, and they are utterly ignorant of the character of our people who imagine that even the high erime with whieh he ia charged could exeite our people to overt acts of summary punishment after the law had taken charge of the offender. —South Carolinian, 9th inst. "Preaching the gospel is a glorious oeeu potion,” said a colored pastor recently, " but pleaee to remember, my hearers, that clergy men want families, shirte, champagne iced, vension, pork and beans, and other luxuries, while their wives can’t get along without dresses, ehemises, bonnets and pelises ; there fore do n’t drop in no bad pennies and ehaw# of terbakker when Cato brings round the su gar-bowl for your contributions.” fttagitctie selcgrapl).

The weather is quite cold this morning. The political can vass, in view of the approaching State Elec tions, is waxing warm. Whig and Democrat ic demonstrations every night. Both parties equally confident. The Falcon left here last evening for Cha gres, with twelve passengers from this city, and sixty-six from New York. News ha? been received from Kingston, Ja maica, to 19th ult. The Liberals assert that they have gained an accession of strength by the election.

The steamer Tonnesse arrived at New York from Savannah. Heavy storm yesterday, at the North and hero. General news unimportant. Thk next Congress.—The Washington cor respondent of the Journal of Commerce, spe culating upon the tone and temper of the next Congress towards the administration says : «• I have had somo means of knowing demo cratic sentiment among intelligent and influ ential men, during the past summer, and it .is my opinion that there is much good feeling among them toward Gen. Taylor, pe-sonally, and that there is no disposition to countenance any movement of a party nature that would serve to perplex him. At the sametime, I have little doubt that there will be a searching in quiry into the acts of his Ministers, by the House, and into the character of nomina tions, and the cause of removals by the Senate. We may, indeed, expect to wit ness a renewal of the scenes of 1842—when a nomination was taken up and briefly discus sed, and then, at the headsman’s signal, off would go his, the nominee's head. These scenes used to be highly exciting and amusing The Senators could dine and wine with great gout, after sending back to Capt. Tyler a hpad or two in a charger. They will probably amuse themselves in the same way this winter.” An Elopement in Olden Time. The dowager lady Ashburton died at Gos port, England, a short time since, and her hts tory contains materials for a plendid romance. This lady was an American and among other incidents of note recordod in connection with her namo, the following will be Tead with in terest : She was the daughter of the Hon. William Bingham, a Senator in Congress, and fifty years since, her father was a wealthy and pro minent merchant in Philadelphia. He was a man of fashion, and the family were among the leaders of the ton in the Quaker city at that period. Then ho was identified with the interests and institutions of the United States; he was recognized as one of the aristocracy, and was always remarkably attentive to the nobility visiting About the period he was people of Pen - 11 11 Tli i dolphin, ho •u- "■ nV! did, cosily ’ ll —]fc!UjLjK u! grown 1, 'A bHiishments. thHyf ting on Third known as He el’s Mansion Housd^^Bß ham entertained strangers, Senators Cabinet with princely hospitality. His family led the fashions of those times, and a very friendly intimacy existed between him and Gen Washington. The French revolution drove several noble men to the U. States as exiles, among whom were two professed duelists, Count de Tilly and Viscount de Noailles. The Viscount either brought letters to Mr. Bingham from Gen. Lafayette, or he obtained an introduction to him, which led to his admittance as an inmate of the family. Having acquired the confi dence of Mr. Bingham by his address and ac complishments, he managed to introduce the Count de Tilly into that hospitable opipsion. The Count was as noted for his profligacy as he was for his skill with the small sword; and understanding all the arts of a seducer, he soon obtained the good opinion and admira tion of Mrs. Bingham and Miss Mari? Matilda Bingham, an only daughter. In those times, and even since, a nobleman —French, English, or German—was received with marked attention in all wealthy families. There was much patrician blood coursing through the veins of the young Republic; royalty and nobility were not then, as, now at a discount. Marquises, Viscounts and Barons were lionized whenever they made their ap pearance, and young ladies were enamored with titles. This Count de Tilly soon per suaded Miss Bingham to elope with him, and also bribed some clergyman to unite them. — The city was not then very populous, and the whole world of fashion was thrown into the greatest excitement at hearing that Miss Bing ham had run away with the French Count de Tilly; and Mr- Bingham himself—a vey hones’, well meaning, but not very distinguished man, excepting for wealth—was dreadfully mortified at this rash step of his daughter, then not six teen years of age. The whole city called it a vile abduction. The greatest indignation was every where expressed; and Capt. Barry, com manding a packet ship, and a man of fashion, took occasion to thrash the Count for some insolence, The couple were forthwith separat ed and the affair was the subject of tea-table conversation lor somo time—such an event sel dom occurring in those quiet and innocent periods. Mr. tyinghatn almost sunk under the blow. j but it became necessary to open aomc negoti*- ! tions with mo Count, to buy him off, as he ; only ran away with tho girl tor her fortune. The Count, in the course of these negotiations, represented himself to be deeply in debt, and that it was impossible to ieave tha country ! without satisfyinz his creditors to the amodn* of £5,00G in ready jnonev and an annuity*!* £6OO, which was paid and secured to him,l tii)d he left for France, the marriage having ! been declared fraudulent. Mr. and Mrs. Bing- I ham never recovered from the afioclf, and died shortly afterwards. A young English merchant, by the name of Baring, subsequently arrived in Philadelphia with letterc to Mr. Bingham, and forming an attachment for his daughter, married and car ried her home. Her husband, afterwards the head of the great banking house of Paring k Brothers, yas preßted (• Bijron under the title of Lord Ashburton, and was the negotiator here of the celebrated Ashburton treaty. The dowager I.ady Ashburton, recently deceased, was tne girl who had excited 90 much atten tion and polite gossip, when run away with by the Count de Tilly, some fifty years ago. Another Murder.— We lcern that a mur der was committed in this county, on Monday lftst, (election day,) near Woodstation, on the person of a Mr. Cook, by a man named Good son. We have not heard the particulars, but from what we have been able to gather from different individual*, it appears that a difficul ty occurred bttween them a few days previous, from some eause or other, and that, on meet ing at the poll* and passing a few words, Goodson shot Cook with a musket, killing him instantly. The parties, as i« usual, were in toxicated. Goodson, the person who commit ted the bloody deed, has been arrested and confined in jail to await his trial.— Ringgold Republican, <Uh insl .

Wa auspeot the waggish Editor of the Post is poking fun at Abbott Lawrence. Haa that “ considerable indignation" abated, Mr. Post. —A'. O, Coitr. A No vat Marriagb.—The Hayneville( Ala.) Chronicle, contains an account of a marriage in that town, which has a novelty about it that will be quite charming to those young ladies who are partial to runaway matches and the like. The Chronicle says: “The denizens of our usually quiet village, were thrown into some little excitement by the arrival here, on Sunday last, of a runaway •ouple from a neighboring county. The news soon spread through town, and a number of persons assembled at the corners of the streets, anxious to witness the result. Application was made to the clerk of the county court for a license, but owing to the stringent provi sions of the law, l in such cases made and proved,’ the application was refused. Here was a predicament. But the parties undaunt ed by opposing barriers, were determined upon the consummation of their wishes. Like the heroes and the heroines of romance, neither locks, bolts, nor the opposing obst-cles pre sented by the law, were suflicisnt to dampen their spirits or check their desires. After co:.- j sultatiou with legal gentlemen, a happy expe dient was hit upon to crown their labors with i success, which was carried out in a becoming and graceful manner by the parties concerned. j The crowd were politely witness the scene in the drama, and the happy consumma tion of tho nuptials, which was performed in the following manner : The gentleman taking the lady by the right hand, repeated the mar riage ceremony in a clear and distinct voice, constituting them man and wife, to which the lady assented. After which, amid the smiles and congratulations of the crowd, they took thei r departure, doubtless well pleased with the happy termination of the affair. The par ties ate very respectable people, and reside in Montgomery county. The gentleman's name is Todd, and tho lady’s Brussell. We wish tho happy couple a long and prosperous life. “By a decision of the Supreme Court, the agreement of the parties before witnesses, to become man and wife, constitutes them such to all intents and purposes ; and hence we conclude the present marriage, though novel in its character, is a legal one.” Tug Tbhuantepec Routs. —A meeting of some of our most influential citizens took place last evening at the office of M. M. Cohen, Esq. Exchange Place, for the purpose of taking into consideration preliminary measures for the ! great meeting which is to be held to-morrow j evening of the citizens of New Orleans favora- j bfato the adoption of the Tehuantepee route ( to the Pacific.

Cohen, Larue and Heartt succes- 1 sivelv addressed the meeting, energetically 1 dwelling on the supeiior advantiges to New * Orleans, and to the whole Southern and Wes- | torn country, of tho Tehuantepec route to the { Pacific over all others hitherto projected. Mr. De Bow hazaided a few remarks on somo dif ficulties in the wan’, of harbors on each side of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, but Messrs, j * Larue and Cohen intimated that no obstacle of j that nature existed—there was no want of , convenient harbors or safe anchorage. Attor- j j ney General Elmore also made a few pertinent i remarks. Some inteiosting general information on the I attributes of the projected line of road was fur- 1 uished by the speakers, which gave much i c satisfaction to the meeting.

Aferopriath Epitaph.—A lady, who had died of cholera, in Sandusky City, and was laid out by her friends, was found the night following, standing at the cupboard, eating cu cumber pickles; whereupon the Lnuisvihe News says: They left her a “ laying” in white, Pl-epa cd for the grave’s quiet slumbers; But the) found her the very same night, A layin’ in pi-.kled cucumbers. (Correspondence of fie Balti'nore Sun.) Washington, Oct. 4, 1849. Rcst&ofthe Maryland Election — The House of Re prSk/it stives—Navigation Reciprocities. Tils Maryland election is over, and a bright souidbnes out, over both the successful and *'"'* t candidate!-. The opinion hero that the obsessional delation ■—* l the in ■rule demon «•« h.tv. democratic House will be one. On neither side of one very decisive of any thing, as tp the organization of the House or its sub sequent a.ction. It is pretty certain, at all events, that the two parties will be, as nearly as possible, equal —and that both will have to stand an ecjual hazard in regard to the impracticable free soilers who are in their ranks. There are eighteen members who are nominally free soilers, but it is not yet known that they will refuse to go iqto caucus with thoir respective parties—and it is not prqbafile that they will adopt a separate organization. Some of the nothern papers state that all their merchants, ship-owners, and seamen, are in favor of a reciprocity of the British Aets, far they are not afraid to enter into competition with ali tiie world. This is a good tone of feeling. It is even staled that our ships are already reaping the benefit of this British na vigation act; and that there are charters ot - feringfor our ships to go to Calcutta, and load for London. Os course, the planting and farming interest will reidily acquiesce in the change. It remains to be seen from what quarter any opposition to it may arise. Neoro Supbkstitios. —A slave was arrested this morning, by the First Municipality Po lice, with the iirst joint cf a man’s finger, carefully wrapped in a iiannel bag, in his pos session. This is the third or fouth time with in six months that negroes have been arras te4 here with lingers in their possession, and it was recently otated in a M 'bile paper, that a slave was detected in one of the cemeteries of that city, in the act of severing one of the Ungers from the hand of a person recently buri ed, without any reasonable motive for he act,as the hand was not jewelled, to tempt his oupi dity. The idea negroes have in possessing themselves of these singular (• pocket pieces’’ is purely superstitious, They believe that the finger of s dead m»n is a charm that com mands fortune in gambling, and that with one on their person, it is an impossibility to lose. Those addicted to that vice will, therefore, run almost any hazard to obtain so potent an amulet.— N.' O. Courier. President oe hie Univewsit*. —ln our last, we noticed the arrival of Judre Longstreet, of Georgia, the newly elected President of the sqiyejiitjr. IJis commit created quite a sen sation among his ngmerous and enthusiastic admirers in Oxford, Although he was per sonally unknown to most of our citizens, his fame as a writer, scholar and divine, had long preceded him, and there were many as anxious greet him as if he had been known to them Mr year,-*. Upon seeing the Judge ride through B»wn in his carriage, a friend remarked, within pur hearing; "that is the face of ifed Araee.td a certainty." It was not, indeed, the inimitable and laughter-provoking Ned Brace, of the unapproachable, “Georgia Scenes,” but it was, In truth, the very man 4rno had painted him to the life.

Qrgani:cr f 29 th ul(, Men with Tails. —A Frenoh scientific com mission has discovered a raee of men in Africa, with tails, and no mistake. A report was late ly made to the Academy of Sciences thereon. They are one remove from the baboon, scarce ly so handsome as the ourang-outang, but oan talk like negroes. They are terrible savages, and one of their peculiarities in a fondness for raw flesh, especially human flesh. When they ara kept as slaves, if not stuffed with raw meat occasionally, they are as dangerous as a beast of prey. The slave-traders, on this account, refuse to buy them, as they do not want their stock to eat eaeh other np. The descriptions of them say that the pro longation of the vertebral column gives to each individual—male or female—a tail of two or three inehes long. Thoy are called Ghi lanes, and are rarely more than five feet high; bodies lean and seem weak; are long and slim; fjrehead low and receding; ears long and de formed; mouth wide, and furnished with teeth very eharp.
