[ Telegraphed for die Charleston Courier.] New Orleans, Sept. 16, 10 A. M. The sales of Cotton yesterday amounted only to one hundred bales, at lull prices. The weather is not yet settled, and at pre sent has a very stormy appearance. The brig Charles Kershaw, Atchison, from your port has just arrived. £. tract of a letter from Capt. Harbeson, of the ship Thos. Bennett, dated “PANAMA, Aug. 18, 1818. “ Dear Sirs: —I arrived here safe with the ship Thomas Bennett, on the 11th ot this month, and will sail for California to-morrow. M e had head winds almost all the way from iliu de Janeiro to \ alparaiso. •>I doubled Cape Horn in eleven days, we had a plenty of snow but no sea. 1 am very much pleased with the ship; she is in good or d r and a tine sea beat, every thing is all right with us. We will take fifty-two passengers from here for San Francisco. Yours, Respectfully.” A friend writes to the editor of the Moun taineer from Newberry, as follows, under date of 10th inst; “ I am ju»t from a visit to my plantation in Newberry district, and deeply regret to state that I never before saw more sickness, or knew of the health of the Districts below be ing worse. It is exceedingly dry in the mid dle country, and I am thoroughly convinced that it is out of the question to expect or think that more than half a Cotton crop can by any means be made. The Cotton has cast its blooms, shapes and forms, and in some in stances the bolls ; and even those that are left and will open, are, lor the most part, small and light 1 ” Maine Election. In relation to the election in Maine on the 10th inst., we copy the following statement of the result, so far as ascertained, from the Bos ton Post of Thursday : The Portland Argus of Wednesday thinks T,'r. Hubbard, democrat, is elected governor by Jhe people. It finds a democratic gain of 1,200 : n fourteen Kennebec towns. By thw “truck, and dicker” union of free-soilers and whigs in Cumberland county, two demo cratic senator? are defeated, and Alvah Mars ton and Marshal Cram are elected. The whigs of Franklin county also adopted the freesoil candidate for senator. Whigs and free-soilers in Waldo united on one candidate for the Sen ate, a whig free-soiler. The whigs and free soilers supported a free-soil whig in Piscata quis. Some of the whig papers recommended a union between whigs and free-soilers in rep resentative district whern the democrats have the plurality. How far these coalitions and recommendations may have affected the politi cal character of the legislature chosen Mon ■day, remains to be seen. We can hardly be- Jjeve that the democratic ascendency has been overcome by such means. It is, however, rathe.” astounding to hear Taylorites glorying in such exploits almost in the same breath in which the v denounce the opposition in Ver mont. JiAXER.—The Augusta Age, of the 13th in stant, remarks: We incline to the opinion, however, that Dr. Hubbard is elected, by the people; that the democrats are elected to the Senate, as fol lows: 3in Y'ork, 3in Oxford, 3in Waldo, 1 in Aroostook, and lin Hancock; that the fe deralists have elected 3 senators in Kennebec, 2 in Cumberland, 1 in Franklin, and 1 in Pis cataquis, the last 4 by a coalition with the hye .sobers; and that in the other 13 district’s there .'® uo choice. j[ n t l ie House of Representatives, so far as heard from, democrats have gained 8, and the opposition o. That body will undoubted ly be democratic. Ravages of thb Army Worm.— We re ceived yesterday by the steamboat Gipsy, a cotton plant, sent from West I’eliciana, to give us an idea of the ravages of the worm since it made its appearance on the plantations. It the remainder of the plants are in the condi tion of the one beiore us, the destruction must be immense. Opening bolls and leaves are eaten away to an extent which it is paintul to behold. —JV. O.
