BV W. H. VOUN'O, ESQ. How beautiful this Sabbath morn Hath broken o'er the walls of night, And, like an infant newly born, Starts into life with living light!

The article in the Times of to-day has created a stir here, and now that the question as to the motives of the disorganizes in New York is up, some interesting particulars will leak out—from General James Gordon Bennett,Sole propri etor and editor of the Herald, 77 who wanted to go to France, to George Law, who wanted his son-in-law. Col. May, appointed to some high military office, to say nothing of the numerous steam line projects, &c., &c., &c., which rind no favor with the present administration. It is my purpose this morning to give your readers a little insight into matters in New York, that they may see how elegantly the grumblers there have themselves revived the slavery question it being merely a pretext, as you will learn. New York has an immense stomach—im mense. So soon as the present administration was placed in power, a great variety of schemes were started to pluck the people through the Treasury. Steamers to Amazon—to Africa—to China—to Oregon, and everywhere else, were projected to carry the mails. Now, instead of getting additional aid and comlort, the various lines were given to understand, that the Admin istration would not countenance any such public robbery, and that those who were now living on enormous appropriations, would be cut short of their supplies as soon as possible. The Collins line and their backers flew into a rage. So did the other lines. George Law swore terribly. But, nevertheless, the Administration kept its pluck, and the President kept cool. The next move was to get hold of the surplus. The money articles 77 of the New York papers laid the foundation for a “ panic. 77 The Herald and the National Democrat were made use of, and after the usual pre-arrangement, a commit tee of the political light fingered gentry was de spatched here, to wheedle the Secretary of the Treasury. “ What did a Western man know of finance to be sure? 77 thought they. They wheedled until they tired of it. Mr. Guthrie had his eyes open. He had been a successful speculator himself, and was perfectly familiar with Wall-street affairs, having had several hundred thousand invested at different times. The committee wanted the “ surplus. 77 Guthrie swore they should not have it. They threaten ed insubordination. The Secretary told them to go ahead. They did go ahead, and he held on to the surplus. Thi3 is the real cause of all the difficulties in New York. A set of gormandizing speculators have failed to rob the Treasury or to get any as surance of public aid for private adventures, and consequently they turn on the Cabinet. “ They want a new Cabinet 77 —to be sure they do. They w’ant men in who fill their contracts up to the sum of SBOO,OOO a year to one line alone. They want men in power who will allow them to ram their arms in the money box at the Cus tom House. They were disappointed in Guth rie—they never expected anything from Davis —were alraid to approach the President, and most awfully disappointed in Marcy. Peter G. ! Washington sat like a watch dog at the door of the Treasury. He is an old fox himself and theretore knows all the old foxes in the party and out ot it He is never oft duty—always wide awake, and extremely careful In fact the Cab.net and the principal officers ate men of business, knowledge and political experience, and have defeated and will deieat every attempt of the New York gormandizers to get at the public money. Hence the dissatisfaction. Dickinson has been humbugged, and made a cats paw of, and the everlasting nigger question which they faithfully promised never again to agitate, is made the pretext, by the disorganizes, for rousting the Cabinet, if possible. I now say to you, from the very best means of information, that the Cabinet is a unit. The President’s do mestic policy is fixed. Harmony of the party on the Baltimore plat form ; strict construction of the Constitution ; no encouragement to public plunderers ; and inde / pendence of disappointed politicians, will forma ; part of it. General James Gordon Bennett, of' the Herald, who wanted to go to France; George Law, who wanted many things ; the host of of fice seekers, who wanted impossibilities, and those cormorants who wanted the “surplus 77 $30,000,000 —think of it!! and couldn’t get it— to the contrary notwithstanding. How to Prepare sundry Pleasant Dishes. Lemon Pies. —A lady tells the Agriculturist how to make four lemon pies. Grate the peels of four lemons, and squeeze the juice into the grated peel. Then take nine eggs, leaving out half of the whites, one pound of loaf (or white) sugar, half a pound of butter, one pint of cream (or of milk,) and four tabl spoonfuls of rose-wa ter, and beat them well together, and add the lemon. Divide into four pies, with undercrust, and bake. A Droll Way of Cooking Sweet Potatoes. —Boil two large sweet potatoes, rub them through a sieve, then add a piece of butter the size of an egg, a little salt, one pint of buttermilk, a teacup of sugar, a tablespoonful of saleratus, dissolved in warm water. Bake in an earthen dish. Serve up cold with cream. Thickened Milk (Milk Soup.) —Put a quart of milk over the fire to boil; put a teacupful of wheat flour into a basin; sprinkle over it enough water to make it damp; then work it between the hands until it forms in small smooth rolls; put a teaspoonful of salt to the miik, and when it is boiling hot, stir the flour; let it boil gently for ten or twelve minutes, then turn it into a tureen; add sugar and nutmeg if liked, or without either.— This is beautiful for children and the sick, and adults would enjoy it if they could take a turn at it every twenty minute through the day. It is excellent so far as it goes, but a man gets hun gry while rising from the table where he hasea- j ten of it to repletion. Byron says: A thousand years scarce serve to form a State.” He had never heard of Cali ber flia. ] From the Louisville Courier .] i Hog Killing Prospects. The receipts of hogs, as yet. for packing, have been light, not exceeding 8,000 head. Messrs Jackson, Hull & Co., of the mammoth i ork house, were slaughtering a limited number of hogs yesterday and the day previous, and have killed thus far, 3.500, with 2,000 in the pens.— The other packers have not commence 4 yet, though all ready, but are awaiting cooler wea ther. Prices, we are constrained to say, are drooping and we hear of no sales, the farmers generally demanding 5 cents net, which is above the view of buyers. In Cincinnati yesterday the market was flat, with but few buyers at s'ents. An increased business is anticipated this season, the number of hogs being estimated at over 300.000. The following remarks we copy from the Cin cinnati Gazette. Last year 361,000 head were packed here. — This season it is supposed the number will reach 450.000 head. Last year hogs opened in this mar et at $5 and $5:25; this year $5 may be regarded as the opening price. With reference to the stocks, it is true there is more Pork and Bacon in the country now than at this date last year, but of Lard the stocks are very light, the foreign demand having been unusually heavy. We understand fewer Hogs have been driven East and South this year than usual, and quite a number have been sold in the market tor early delivery from a section of the country that for merly supplied Virginia. In the South, as our readers are aware,Hogs have been steadily increa sing tor three years past, and this cuts off’, in a great degree, the market that has heretofore ex isted for early Kentucky Hogs in that section. The total amounts shipped from the United States during the nine months of the current calendar year, were as follows, compared with the exports lor the corresponding period last year. This year. Last year. Pork 111,038 58.604 Bacon, hhds 35,072 7,164 Lard, kegs 441,900 327,565 The result of the business ot the last two years we need hardly refer to; but it may be lemarked that it left a pretty general impression that the supply ot Hogs for the season, now about com mencing, would be larger than last year; and that prices would rale considerably below the aver age, or even the lowest price of 1852-53. But within the last month the views of dealers, as indicated by the current movements, have chang ged very materially, and now the belief is pre valent, to some extent, that the crop will not be much, il any larger than last year. The high price ol Corn will not have that ef fect upon the cr»p of Hogs that is generally sup posed. It is true that Corn has been scarce and dear in all places that were convenient to mar ket, but then the growing crop will prove about an average, both asregar Is quantity and quality; and this may be used, to a large extent, in feed ing for a December and January market. Taking all things into consideration, there fore, it will be seen there is great reason for be ing cautious. We have no desire to see the mar ket unduly depressed, or excited,and we have no intention of using, or allowing our columns to Le do either. We do desire, however, to see the business transacted upon a basis that will be likely to insure a healthy trade. It is wrong to suppose that it makes no difference to farmers what the result may be provided they get high prices. A disastious season with packers would operate as much against the interest of the agri culturist another year, as the cause of such a re sult would benefit them this season. The Freesoilism of the Administration.— The Detroit Free Press, in the subjoined para graph, presents correct views of the policy of the administration. The design of the President and his cabinet has been, and will continue to be, “ to rebuke freesoilers, and discountenance fur ther agitation, in any quarter, of the slavery question : 77 “ Those, 77 says the Free Press, “ who have charged the administration with having affilia ted with freesoilers, and with having appointed them knowingly to office, have been unfortu nate, if not guilty of designed misrepresentation, because facts, 6how the reverse policy to have been pursued. The appaient and avowed de sign of the President, in making appointments to office, has been to rebuke freesoilers, and dis countenance further agitation, in any quarter, of the slavery question. It was this purpose he had in view when his determination was an nounced to regard all members of the democrat ic party as orthodox who faithfully subscribe to the doctrines of the Baltimore platform and the inaugural address; and in like manner to regard all men as heretical who seek, directly or indi rectly to renew the agitation of sectional is sues.” The editor in copying the letter of Attorney General Cushing to Mr. Fiothingham, says the letter explains itself— 11 the pursuit of the policy adopted by the President is to be rigidly persist ed in.”— Washington Union, Bth inst. Vulgar Words. —There is as much connec tion between the words and the thoughts as there is between the thoughts and the words, the lat ter ere not only the expression of the former, bat they have power to re-act upon the soul and lea *e the stain of corruption there. A young man who allows himselt to use any profane or vulgar word, has not only shown that there is a foul spot on his mind, but by the utterance of that word he extends that spot and inflames it, til! by indulgence it will soon pollute and ruin the whole soul. Be careful of your words, as well as your thoughts. It you can control the tongue that no improper words are pronounced by it, you will soon be able to control the mind and save it from corruption. You extinguish the fire by smothering it, or prevent bad thoughts bursting out in langugage. Never utter a word, any where, which you would be ashamed to speak in the presence of the most religious man. Tiy this practice a little, and you will soon have command of yourself. The Florida Mirror congratulates the citizens of Marion county, F.orida, on the successful navigation of the Oclawaba river to the Silver Spring, its source. A light draught steamer, the j - “canopy, Capt. Gray, recently reached Silver Spring without serious obstruction. Capt. Gray isot the opinion that a little labor on the chan nel oi the river will render it perfectly safe for steamboat navigation. Silver Spring, which we visited as long ago as the year 1830, and which we explored in an Indian canoe, rises in a very fertile region, and is surrounded by as good a su- Ftorhl^ 6 Th J on> f.. cotton country, as exists in The facilities of outlets which s.eam navigation will give to this section of the State wi 1 greatly stimulate the development of its agricultural resources.

Hand. —Two charm ing women were discussing one day what it is which constitute the beauty of the band. They oitfered in opinion as much as in the shape of the beautiful member they were discussin*'. A gentleman frienu presented himself, and by com mon consent the question was referred to him It was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and the three goddesses. Glancing from one to the other of the beautiful hands presented to him, which, by the way, he had the cunning riess to hold for some time in his own, for pur poses of exmination, he replied at last’: “ I gi ve it up—the question is too hard for me ; but ask the poor, and they will tell you that the most beautiful hand in the world is the hand that gives.” Melacholy Suicide of Mr. Oliver, of the Crystal Palace.— Mr. Oliver, who had the American department at the Crystal Palace un der his charge, left home, suddenly, on Monday cast,since which time no trace of his wherea bouts was ascertained, until yesterday afternoon his body was discovered in the woods at Harlem where it seems he had committed suicide by shooting himself. The Coroner has been noti fied, and wili hold an inquest on the body. De ceased was about thirty years of age, and single man. AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13. Gov. Johnson’s Inaugural Address. 1 he Savannah Georgian of the 11th inst. says : l ’The inaugural address of Gov, Johnson, which we present to our readers this morning, will not fail to attract that general attention alike due to a document of the kind and the distinguished source whence it emanates. Had the people of our commonwealth r.o other evidence whereby to judge of the character of its chief magistrate and his ability to administer its laws, than the authorship of this address, their confidence in his honesty of purpose, under a just appreciation of the trusts and responsibilities which devolve upon him, would be hearty and unreserved.— This address gives evidence on the part of its author of a clearness of preception. a firmness of purpose, and an humble reliance, worthy the head and heart of one called to preside over and administer the extended and varied interests of a free and Christian people. The great interests of education,agriculture,internal improvements, and the mechanic arts, are alluded to as worthy the fostering care of the Government. Upon these interests the stability of our laws and our contin ued prosperity as a people eminently depend, and therefore, in the language of the Governor,should not be neglected if we expect Georgia to ad vance to the stature of full grown maturity in the exalted attribute of a high civilization ; and to their proper advancement and future develop ment we trust they will command that wisdom in council, and elicit that prudence in action which they require at the hands of those called into our legislative councils. Our Feberal relations are alluded to in becom ing terms and in a proper spirit—a connection, the true principles and merits of which cannot be too clearly understood; and, according to the constitutional compact, too highly appreciated and faithfully guarded. As comprehending the objects of government, the relationship of indi viduals and States in that government, and a breathing an enlightend patriotism and sound po licy, the introductory address of Gov. Johnson is worthy the scholar and statesman. Gov. Johnson has appointed as Secrataries of the Executive Department, Messrs. William Steele, of Baldwin, (one of Gov. Cobb’s.) De- Graffenreid, of Muscogee, and Briscoe, of Wal ton counties. A Bio Gun. —One of the 700 Turkish cannon which guard the Dardanelles is charged with 230 pounds of powder, and throws a stone shot ot one thousand pounds weight. Os course such immense guns are more formidable in appear ance than in reality, and the firing is not unat tended with danger to their own artillerymen. Scarcity of Shipping.— lt is stated that ship ping i t New York continues scarce. All clas ses of vessels are in demand, and freights are nearly double the rates they were si i months since. Eastern vessels, to carry grain to that section, are very difficult to be had on any terms. The Pork Business.— The receipts of hogs for slaughtering at Cincinnati were light last week, but it is stated that vast droves are within a few miles of the city, and packers expect to kill upwards of 300,000 this season. Prices were dull—holders asking 5 cents, and buyers offering 4] cents net. Good Pay. —Lamartine, it is said, has sold a new work of his, “ The History of the Medicis in advance, (lor it is not yet written.) to two of the French Government journals, for the round sum of 150,000 francs, ($28,150.) It is to con sist of four octavo volumes, of 400 pages each. The money pressure in New York, says the Washington Star, is fairly over, without pro ducing, more than one single failure of a house of any standing. The commercial journals of that Metropolis unite in declaring that it is passed and 1 gone, money being comparatively easy “in the . street/’ where it is now to be had almost at or dmary rates. The whole country will speedly ; feel the benefit of the change, the late business alarm there having affected business from Maine to Louisiana, more or less. The banks contrac ted their loans in twelve weeks nearly fourteen millions of dollars !—Yet, as befoie remarked, but a single house ol note suspended payment. Does not this tact bear out what we have of late more than once taken occasion to write con cerning the system ol doing business now pre vailing, W'hich we have contended is sound, safe and healthy ?” Fourteen millions is an im mense amount to withdraw Irom the hands of those in trade in the short space of three months, yet the business of all in New York is being so conducted, that this contraction of their active means has failed to cause considerable iailures. Indeed, such results in such cities show plainly that the business men of the country have be come far more independent of banks than they were a few years ago, when such a withdrawal ot aclive capital would have pulled down hun dreds it not thousands ot real capitalists, as well as those relying too much on loans. Great Travelling and Teleoaaphic Scheme. —Among other startling announce ments, that of communication between England and any part of India in ten days has been made. It seems that the railway from Ostend to Trieste, a length of 1,500 miles, will be completed within twelve months from this time. Letters, parcels, and passengers will then occupy but iit tle more than two days from the shores of the channel to those of the Adriatic ; four days will take them thence to Egypt, and by aid of the railway from Alexandria to Cairo, which is now rapidly advancing, they will be within 36 hours afloat on the Red sea, and in twelve days after wards be landed safely in Bombay, within three weeks of leaving London. Within this date, the electric telegraph, now preparing to be laid across the will have reached Suez, and lour thousand miles of wire, which have already reached Calcutta, will connect every great town in India with' the port of Bombay, so that before the year 1856 expires, London will have communication by electric telegraph in ten or eleven days’ time with every part of India, and by steamer and rail in twen ty-one days with Bombay. The advices from Italy also state that the Glornale di Roma of the 4th, announces that the electric telegraph, which already extends from Rome to Bologna and Modena, is to be contin ued to Terracina, there to meet the Neapolitan wires ; so that Naples, Rome, Bologna and Mo dena will form but one uninterrupted line. Thanksgiving. —Sixteen States have already agreed upon the 24th of November, this year, as a day of Thanksgiving, viz: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Alaba ma, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Con necticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. IheN. Y. Herald is of opinion that the advo- ] cates of the Maine Law will have a majority in t the New York Legislature, , [Correspondence of the Const. & Republio.) Milledgeville, Nov. 10, 1853. Mr. Editor :—Your readers will recollect that the untimely death of the Hon. John L. Bird deprived the people of Taliaferro, of their representative, in the Senatorial branch of the General Assembly. This morning the Senator elected in his place, the Hon, Mr, Wilder, ap peared and took his seat. Mr. Miller offered a bill, to add an additional section to the first article of the Constitution. Mr. Robinson offered a bill for the relief of Wm. Taylor, of Macon county. Mr. Mosely offered a bill to change the line between Spalding and Pike ; also, a bill to in corporate Marshall College in Griffin. Mr. Clark offered an amendment to the rules of the Senate ; also, a bill to legalize the adjourn ment of the Superior Court of Lee. Mr. Stovall offered a bill to amend the Gene ral Road Law’s of this State. The bills introduced yesterday were read the second time. Mr. Green offered the following resolution: That the Senate and House of Representatives meet in the representative chamber on Tues day, the 15th instant, for the election of a Judge of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the resignation of the Hon. Hiram Warner, and one Judge of said Court for the six ensuing years. Mr. Strickland moved to amend by adding a Senator for the next Senatorial term, which was lost. Mr. Dabney moved to amend, by adding “and a Superintendant of the West ern & Atlantic Railroad/’ Mr. Miller moved to amend the amendment, by adding the fol lowing proviso, to-wit: “ Provided, that said Superintendant shall receive his appointment, subject to such legislation, in relation thereto as may be had by the present General Assembly,” which prevailed. The amendment as amended was agreed to. The question ti en arose on the resolution as amended, and the same was agreed to. Mr. Moore reported the following bill: to al ter the lines between the counties of Jasper and Newton, and to alter the line between Gordon and Floyd, and between Wilkes and Lincoln, and between Polk and Paulding. Mr. Clark: a bill to make all places of hold ing Justices’ Courts in Baker,election precincts; also, a biil to divide the offices of Tax Collector and Receiver in Baker. On motion of Mr. Cone, the Senate took up the resolution of the House, bringing on the elec tion on Friday, the 11th instant, ot a Solicitor General of the Coweta circuit, and Judge of the Court ol Oyer and Terminer of Savannah. On motion of Mr. Dawson, the same was laid on the table. The Senate then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion of Mr. Reynolds, the rules of the House were suspended in order to proceed with the call of the counties. Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, offered a bill to in corporate the Brunswick improvement Compa ny. Mr. Martin : a bill to provide for the payment of certain census takers. Mr. Haynie : a bill to refund the taxes collect ed from the Rome Railroad Company; also, a bill amendatory of the several acts incorporating the city of Rome.

Air. Stapleton: a bill to incorporate Alc- Donough Collegiate Seminary. Mr. AlcDougald : a bill to alter and amend the 12th section of the 2d article of the Constitution, by striking out the words, in the same manner, and at the same session, and inserting in lieu thereof, shall be elected by persons entitled to vote for Governor, at such times and in such manner as the Legislature shall or may, by law, direct; also, a bill to alter and amend the third section of the third article of the Constitution, by striking out, appointed by the Legislature, and inserting in lieu thereot, elected by persons entitled to vote for members of the Legislature, at such time, and in such manner as the Legis lature may, by law, direct. Mr. Harrison: a bill to incorporate a Mechanics Saving Bank, to be located at Savannah. Mr. Alread,of Cherokee: to organize and lay out a new county from Cherokee and Gilmer. Mr. Paris: a bill to incorporate Trenton Lodge No. 179, of Free and Accepted Masons.

The rules were suspended in order to take up I the resolutions. Mr. Philips—a bill to require Sheriffs, Clerks and Ordinaries, to record certain advertisements therein named. Mr. Redding—a resolution in reference to the appointment of a day tor the election of the Su preme Court Judges. On motion, the resolution of the Senate on this subject was taken up, and after striking out the portion in reference to the appointment of the Superintendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, it was agreed to. The House then adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. At present, I merely mention the bills in the order in which they are introduced; when they j come up for final consideration, I shall notice such as have an important bearing on the rela tions of the State, more at large. The inauguration ball, last night, was a most brilliant affair. T. ere was a large assemblage of beauty and fashion. Gov. Johnson was present for a short time, but soon retired, leaving the young and the gay to fill up the full measure of their enjoyment. Long will the ball be remem bered by many, as having been the occasion of making impressions upon their hearts, not easily erased. The artillery drill, this afternoon, came fully up to public expectation. The battallion af terwards went through some of the infantry evolutions, in which they engaged on yesterday. While on the parade ground, this afternoon, I , heard a West Pomt student remark, that they fully equalled West Point Cadets, with the ex ception of the manual exercise. This was high praise from one whose feelings, it is reasonable to suppose, were at least to some extent, preju diced in favor of the United States Militar Academy. Gov. Johnson made a short address to the Cadets, remarking that although he was not sufficiently acquainted with military tactics to pronounce a critical judgment upon their mer its, as soldiers, yet he must say that he thought they went through the motions elegantly. I trust that this visit of the Cadets will create a favorable opinion of the Marietta Institution, in the minds of the members of the Legislature. It deserves and ought to have the patronage of the State. No subject can be brought to the at tention of the Legislature of more importance than education, and encouragement ought to be given to all modes which tend to make virtuous and inteiligen citizens. These views are not expressed in consequence of any partiality in favor of a military education ; the system adopted at Marietta is far from being of an exclusive military character. But in this age of the world, when riches are creating luxu rious and effeminate habits among our people, it is time that legislators should see that in the education of youth, the hardy physical training of the barbarian nations, be united with all the refinement of manners and culture of mind which the most liberal literary education can be stow. The union of the systems in Georgia will make her sons brave and hardy, wise and virtuous. On some other occasion I may again recur to this subject. r. Mr. Powers has received an order from Bos ton for a bronze statute of the great statesman, to be placed in front of the Massachusetts State House. His bust of Mr. Webster, made some years ago, is confessedly the best existing portrait of the original. Tennessee Cotton Crop.— The Nashville (lenn.) Whig of the Bth instant, says: It is now quite certain that the cotton crop has sus tained serious injury from the late frosts. We know, from reliable information, that such is the case in this State. Our accounts from Aliddle and West Tennessee all agree that in the fresh and in the rich bottom lands the top crop of bolls have been so bitten as effectually to prevent their maturing. They have in fact, to a very great extent, become sodden, and are rotting on the stalk. The same is true in regard to the plant in Georgia and South Carolina.and we may add, in Mississippi, as far as we have heard. In the Memphis Appeal we find a letter from Yazoo City, which states that the frost of the 24th ult., was iollowed by cold, heavy rains, and that the.destruction of the top crop of bolls, the main reliance of the planters in that section, has been very great. We concur in opinion with the Appeal, that there can be no doubt of the present crop’s failing, at the least calculation, a quarter of a million of bales short of the last crop. The probability, we think, is, that the difference will be even greater than that. The Sioux of Minesota Territory have been removed from their lands on the Mississippi Ri ver, opposite St. Paul, to their new location on the Minnesota River, by the U. S. officers, and will there be paid their annuities for the present year. During the past week a case has been on trial in the United States Circuit Court, at Philadel phia, to recover $50,000, alleged to be due to the estate ol the late Daniel Webster, for lees in the great case of Alatthias Aspden’s estate. The case is not yet finishe’d. [communicated.] Mr. Editor :—An “ Irish Volunteer” thus in trudes upon your space, under considerations very flattering to the Company, on the occasion of our first parade this season, and briefly recurs with pleasure, to the incident, through this me dium, to manifest our high appreciation of the compliment; tendered us on Friday last, on our return from the parade-grounds, by the gen tlemanly and worthy Proprietor of the Planters’ Hotel of this city.

The New York Journal of Commerce thus ju diciously discriminates between the causes of difference as regards the circulation of the large commercial and smaller papers in that city. The distinction will apply to other cities : ‘‘ One woid more in regard to circulation. From the nature ot the case, it is impossible that a paper sufficiently capacious to accommo date the business ot this vast commercial city and to some extent that of other cities and the nation at large, should have as large a circula tion as papers devoted chiefly to reading mat ter. Fust, because being larger, the price is necessarily higher ; and secondly, because many ot the topics introduced into a commercial paper, are totally uninteresting to common readers in the country. I 1 or the same reason it is impossi ble for a small reading paper ever to become a strictly business paper, i. e., to accommodate the advertising business of the port, without expanding to such a degree as to compel a large I increase in the price of subscription, and thus cut down its circulation. On the whole, we see no reason why the smaller papers—the Sun, Herald, Tribune, Times, &c.— cannot rejoice in the number of sheets which they issue’, while the mammoths equally rejoice in their propor tionate circulation ot comnercial papers, and in their acres of advertising. Both classes of pa pers are good in their place; and neither can usurp the province of the other, without aban doning its own.” Fatal Recounter. —A personal recounter took place on Wednesday evening last, between M. H. Patton and A. B. Prior, which resulted in the death of the former. It appears they were both setting at their boarding house when the difficulty occurred, Patton being at the time in rather an angry conversation with another per son and Prior looking on, but inadvertently, as appears, made some remark to Patton which was not kindly received, whereupon he ordered Prior to leave, to which the latter made some tart reply, when Patton struck and knocked Prior backwards over a chair and pitched upon him ; while in this situation, several cuts were inriicted by the latter upon the breast and neck of the former, from which he died in about twenty minutes. Piior immediately gave up his knife and surrendered h|mseJf to an officer and has been lodged in jail to await his tri al. A man by the name of Meroney has been also arrested, being the room mate of Prior, and 1 supposed to be in some way accessory to the killing, he was not however, present at the time 1 of the difficulty. —Hamburg Republican , 11/A inst.

[Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun ] New York, Nov. B.—New York Election.— The election for State and local officers took place in this State to-day. The hard and soft ? ie *’ d ® mocra cy and whigs had each a full ticket in the held. We compare with the vote of 1848, when uie demociatic party was similarly divi ded. 1 here was much excitement in this city, and in many of the wards serious rioting oc curred. The day was stormy, snow falling in many parts of the State. ° The Second Ward votes Whig 205 • Hard 183 ; Soft 127 ; Reform 30. In 1848, the vote stood Taylor 625 ; Cass 380 ; Van Buren 85. In Albany the whigs have succeeded by a large majority, electing their Mayor and other officers. [ Second Despatch ] New York, Nov. B.—lo} P. M.—The 10th ward votes Whig 659, Soft 534, Hard 260. In 1848 the vote was, Taylor 1,537, Cass 1,127, Van Buren 350. In two districts of the 6th ward the vote is Whig 91, Hard 391, Soft 379, Reform 235. [Third Despatch ] Nkw York, Nov. B.—IIP. M.—The returns come in very slowly, owing to the large num ber of tickets to be counted. The general im pression is that the whigs have carried the State. New York, Nov. 9.— New York Election.— In the Ist, 3d,4th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 17th and 19th wards of this city the vote is for Comptroller, Cook, whig, 8.177 : Cooley, Hard, 5,487 ; Kelly, Soft. 5,075.

The whigs have carried everything. I Second Despatch. | New York, Nov. 9.—The returns as far as received indicate that the whole Whig State ticket has succeeded, with the exception, per haps, of the candidates for Judges of the Court ot Appeals. The democrats were united upon Messrs. Denio and Ruggles, and it is probable that they are chosen. The senators elected in this city are, so far: Thos. J. Barr, hard-shell, in the 3d district; Thos. R. Whitney, whig, in the 4th; Wrn. S. Gregory, whig, in the 3th, and Erastus Brooks, whig, in the 7th. In eighteen wards the following aider men are elected, viz ! 2 whigs; 2 hards; 2 softs; 3 supported by both hards and softs; 4 whig re formers; 4 pure reformers; 1 soft reformer. *The reformers will have a considerable plurality. In King’s county, Hutchins, democrat, for Senator, is elected. The Brooklyn city ticket is in doubt. In Buffalo the democrats are probably success ful. In Poughkeepsie the whigs have a majority over the hards and softs combined. The soft vote is much larger than the hard throughout the State. THIRD DISPATCH.
