Pennsylvania. The election in this great sta'c took place on * Tuesday last, and but lor the failure of the Ex, press Mail yesterday, we, should no doubt have received returns from a number of counties. The only news we have in relation to it is contained in a letter dated Monday morning last, at 3 o’clock, A. M. received here on Saturday, which states that Rimer’s majority in Philadelphia, was 4050 votes in the eityjproper. The county of Phila. delphia it was believed would reduce this majority to about 3500. The result throughout the State was considered extremely doubtful. We received on Saturday, by Express Mail, a slip from the office of the Chcraw S. C. Gazelle, announcing the gratifying intelligence of the re election of Col. John Campbell, to Congress, from the George'own District. Col. C. voted against the Sub-Ticasury bill. Election Returns. We have accounts from Marlborough, Darling ton and Marion, which render it certain that Col. Campbell is elected. Me has a majority in Marl borough of •>'<l In Marion of 447 In Horry his majority is supposed to he IIGB Dr. Smith has a majority In Darlington of 202 nnd is supposed to have a majority in Georgetown of 70 272 We have no account from cither Williams burg or All Saints, in both of which Dr. Smith probably has a majority. Col. Campbell’s ma' jority in the Election District cannot be less than 700, and is probably larger. For the Chronicle (j- Sentinel. The Health of the City of Augusta. Os all cities in the United Stales, perhaps in the world, there is not one equal in health to-our / own. And yet not one of our neighbours will believe it. We are often heartily amused at the directions given by physicians of Charleston, Sa vannah, &c., to their patients, passing through Augusta. They come with strict injunctions un" der no circumstances to pass a night here. No*’ long since a gentleman from Charleston was j I compelled to stop a night in our good city, and ; ■ meeting with another Charlestonian who had for- : 1 mcrly lived in Augusta, and consequently knew S the actual slate of things, he most earnestly Ho- seechcd him lo bo directed to the healthiest point ] in this bilious place, when our former resident took him lo the middle of Broad street, and direc ted him to the market, staling that there was as much apprehension about something to oat as of fever in Augusta. One of our citizens returning from tho North by the way ot Charleston, was positively assured hy a Charlestonian that there were 30 deaths iu Augusta in one week during the past summer. It should have been one month. We observe that in Charleston, Savannah, &c., the bills of mortal, ily are weekly reported, while hero, in Augusta, they are only monthly. But we have said Augusta is the healthiest ci-' ty in the Union lo its size and Southern locality. To prove this we appeal to the reports of the Bill s ot mortality in any and every Southern City. Leaving afflicted Charleston out of the question, let us compare the reports of .September from Sa. vannah with those of Augusta for the same month. We know our neighbour has lately been boasting of her more than 12,000 inhabitants and of her unparalleled health. We cannot say what the exact population of Augusta is at present, but we notice a difference of 443 votes in favour ofßich. mond county over that of Chatham at the late Congressional election. In one -week 26 death** are reported in Savannah —l 2 of which were by bilious fever, while in Augusta there were only 15 ileaths during the whole month of September. And as for bilious fever, we have not heard o* five cases during the whole season. Will the Editors of Charleston and Savannah papers notice tho above 1 In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I would respectfully ask of our public authorities, it it would not be proper lo appoint a day of thanksgiving and praises to Almighty God, for his blessings of health and other mercies. AUGUSTA. The Stmt Citt,tuue.— A coircspondcnt of the Norfolk Beacon, writing from Lawrenceville, \ a. says—“ The public ought to know that Mr. Thomas Hicks, of this county, the year before last, and last year, laid out $345 iu Chinese tnuU berry trees, and this fall will have for sale 30,000 trees. Two days ago he sold 20,000 to some gentleman in Pennsylvania, at 24 cents a tree— the residue he reserves lo sell in this vicinity ; having realized the handsome sum of $7,200 from so inconsiderable an outlay in so short a time, Mr. Hicks expects to have, hy full twelve months, 150,000 trees more lor sale, and in all probability will get nearly nr quite as much per tree.” It is also slated that Mi. Hicks commenc ed making silk last seaso" and succeeded even beyond his expectation. Such evidences as these should convince our citizens that the South is peculiarly lined for the production of this fine and valuable article. DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK OF THE ToviA, OF Boston.— We sailed from Portland bound to Sey anfugas, Island of Cuba, on the 271 h August, with a cargo of shook*, hoops and heading and a steam engine, with a compliment of leu men. Nothing worthy of note occurred until the 3d September, on which day the wind blew a gale from the N. N. E.—ns the gale increased sail was taken in accordingly, until she was under close reefed top. sails, tho sea running very high. At 2P. M. the wind shifted to E. S. E. very suddenly, which brought us in the trough of a dangerous sea. as we had to keep her before the wind, hut finding she labored very haid, it was thought best to heave her 100, for tho safely of vessel as well as cargo. At 3 P. M. look in the fore topsail, and hove too under a close reefed maintopsaii; finding the ves sel made good weather we thought we*had noth ing to fear as to the safely of the vessel, and all was made as snug as possible for a hard gale, as the sea was rising fast—nothing farther occurred until 10 P. M., the wind came on in heavy squalls, attended with rain, hy this lime there was a tre mendous cross sea running in all directions; we thought the vessel was in some danger of being tripped up hy the sea, as the heavy squalls came on harder and harder. At J past 10, lost the small boat from the stern — a: this time we began to feel seriously alarmed as to the safoly of the vessel, as she was near being hove on her beam ends. Al I past 11 they found she was going; and had only time to call the people that were below and spring for the weather-side, and succeeded in gaining it; at this lime the brig was lilling at. both gang ways, so that the people had no chance to get out; in this situation she lay about two min utes —she then righted full of water, with the loss of deck load, to the master, and bowsprit and one man, the other succeeded in gaining the deck through the booby hatch, all her hatches having blown off fore and aft, we found the cargo fast coming out, which left us no hope for our lives, as she sunk as low as the top of her rails, and the sea making a lair breach over her; in this situation, five of us got forward where we found both chains over the starboard bow, I found an iron blazing pin in the rail and with the assistance of them 1 made out to unshackle both chains and let them go, the anchors were next th own overboard four in number, in doing this, her hows had risen a little out of the water, still I knew she must sink as soon as the cargo had worked out of her, as there was a large quantity of iron in her bottom. In this desperate situation we held on lo her till daylight, (he sea constantly rolling over u«. When daylight came, 11 brought a dismal sight to our sorrowlul eye--; it then discovered to us our situation in all its various forms—a vessel sunk, to the sacrifice of the water, partly loaded with iron, not a mouthful of provisions, and only about ten gallons of water, and part of that salt water; of this we had a gill at night, and one in the morning. On the morning of the third day it was more moderate—wc succeeded in getting some money out of the run by diving down through the sky light. 'Phis we secuied to the slump of the how sprit, having no oilier place clear of the sea wa ter. We next got the spars clear of the wreck, they having remained alongside fur three days, in consequence of the rigging being so by under the water, wc were not able to gel at it to cut it. Wesarcd all the small pieces of spars we could get, and saved pait of the Hying jib. We then got up the small spars f i masts to set signals on —one wc lashed to the pumps, to the topsail sheet little for« ard. The next thing was to ng some place, if .possible, to keep from being washed over hoard, if the wreck did not sink altogether, as that was momentarily expected hy ovciy soul on hoard. But as long as there was life there was hope. Wc lashed some pietes of spars from the night,head lo the windlass hits, screwed them! with some hoards that were got out of the cabin, i On tho top of this miserable place wc staid ah most seven days, nearly naked and constantly covered with salt water night and day, and suffer, ing all the horrors of starvation and thirst. On 1 the seventh day a leather trunk was fished up out i of the cabin, by means of a chain hook, and to our gtcal astonishment we found the trunk con 1 i tinned two fish hooks, some sail needles, and rv silver watch guard that was hanging at the head of my berth. When the vessel capsized, all these things had washed from some other part of the cabin, and found their way into that trunk This circumstance gave us much joy. Wo had then the means of taking some fish. Diming the time we were on the wreck, tve caught one small shark, two dolphins, and two bonenters. On these fish we principally subsisted till thirst made hunger forgotten. On the eighth day n schooner hove in eight, about five o’clock in the afternoon, to the great joy of all on the wreck, as wo thought the time had come for our deliverance. She run down for us till we could sec her men on deck; she then hauled on the wind and s ouil to the N. W. The reader can judge for himself our feelings at this moment. On the 18th we found the poop deck going fast, ami the vessel sinking deeper and deeper; we had made up our minds that death was certain, hut as our limbs were much swollen and our bodies full of sores and very weak, we had not so much fear of death, ns we knew we could live hut two or throe days longer, if the vessel did not sink. On Iho morning of the 19llt at day light, a sail was seen about three miles to windward of us steering N. E. which brought him nearer to us, hut he pnsssed ns without see ing us ; at this lime it became calm. At 8 o’clock, the wreck was seen by the crew of the vessel. She kept away and jundown for us; at 1 p, m. he sent his boat and five men and relieved us from our suffering and perilous situation. It proved to be the Spanish barque Union, from Havana, hound to Newfoundland for a cargo of dry fish At the time we were relieved two more had laid down and gave tip; while we remained on board of the barque wo were treated wi th great kind ness and respect. On the next day, we fell in with the ship Vandalia, of Duxlniry, (Japt. F. Siiole, master, from Newport, Wales, bound for ibis port. Capt. Snole bore his ship to, and kindly received us on hoard, where we have re ceived the kindest Ircament from Capt. Snole and his officers while on board his ship, and for the kindness we have received from Capt, Snole, we very heartily thank him and his officers for all the favors we ha«e received from them. D. H. HUTCHINS. DrtoT.LF.urKs of Loco Focorstir. — McKenzie, in bis journal, puts the U. States flag of stars and stripes over the Maine Election. Mr. McKenzie starts a new Loco Foco idea, viz: "the hkphal of all Law fur the recovery of Debt'' which ho says “would ho the beginning of human pros perity.” This reminds us of Lord Byron’s story of a Loco Foco from Cripplegate—“No Corn Laws,” cried ho, “No Septennial Parliament.” “No Law —no nothing at all. — JY. Y. Express. English Wah Puosi>kcts.—The London United Service Journal for September, contains some speculations upon wars and rumors of wars, which seem to augur any thing but peace lor the reign of the maiden We subjoin an extract: To whatever quarter of the globe wo turn our e\cs, the aspect of our political relations portends a storm. It is the geneial opinion even of mode rate parties in Canada, that a war with the Stales is imminent, inasmuch as there exists in the lat ter a parly clamorous (or hostilities with the mother country, with a view to the seizure of her provinces; and however pacific the dispositions of the respective governments and the majority of (ho American citizens may be, still there is a violence in the evil principle represented by tlie turbulent minority of the pseudo* Union, which, it is feared, will act as a “pressure from without” in forcing their governor injo an aggressive war, likely to recoil fearfully on themselves. The adjustment of the Boundary (Question, which impends, will add fuel to the (Janie. Farther south, Mexieo, which is weak, is threatened with vengeance for offences which nobody seem to understand, by France, which is strong. For the former ever.shifting and anomalous Republic little, however, is cared beyond the interruption of the commerce which her mines and pioduce slid enable her to support. In the opposite quarter of the globe the. cloud of war lowers on the heights of Herat and dark ens the Eastern horizon. The siege of that place is connected by Russian officers, under whoso influence the Persian Court appears to act, and eur Envoy to Persia, Mr. McNeill, has quilted the camp of the Shah, and withdrawn the British officers attached to the Persian service, while a British force has been sent for precaution to Bushire, The question of war or peace in the East, appears actually to rest with one whose experience, ability, and perfect firmness for his mission, entitle his acts to the full confidence of his countrymen—we allude to Lieutenant Colo nel Sir Alexander Burnos, whom we rejoice to name by his new and well deserved style. It will he recollected that this officer is at present our diplomatic agent at Cabool, where lie is on the best terms with Dost Mahomed and the Afghans. Germany is uneasy; Holland and Belgium, France and Switzerland scold ; and the African conquests of the French will also, wo are per suaded, involve us, ere long, with that restless nation. Our object in glancing at these signs of the limes, is to call attention to the expediency of placing and keeping our naval and military es tablishmonts on the most liberal and efficient footing ; for the truism cannot bo 100 often or too earnestly repeated, that the best security fir peace is an attitude of thorough preparation for war. Phiienolooy—With respect to this science, one of two things would seem lobe certain. To use one of its Plain dealer axioms, “cither Phre- | nolopy is true, or it is not. If not—not; if it is, j it is.” Bowing to the cogency of this ratiocina tion, we would say, that if it be true, all moral obligation is the merest humbug in nature, and there is no mole ability in man to obey the man dates of God, or the apostolic injunctions of scrip ture; than to restore the lost Pieiad. [ftlie un fortunate hump of destructiveness shall exist on the sconce of one murderously disposed, what but an elasticity of the skull shall enable the lie. nevolenl organs to counteract the death impelling tumor! Hero is the plain point to which the whole theory musi come. One organ is promi nent in its causes and sway. What is to inter rupt its functions! Its poor benevolent oppo nent, cramped for room, is an inactive member of the brain, whose destiny, if it ever have reflec tion, is to make the heart lament what it cannot avoid. There is but ono way in our poor judg ment to make Phrenology a science. The hu. man head must have the expanding capacity of caoutchouc. The various organs must have fair play, if there is to be any accountability in morals to God or man. Otheiwisc Ihe burglar has hut to point to hisenormou-- acqiiititiveneti, the mur ! drrer to his swelling of destruction, and so on, and claim acquittal from courts and juries without law or logic. Nay the man who has the bump | of destructiveness should in that case he caught and hanged, whether his overt act of homicide had been done or not. If found innocent after, i wan] on the best evidence, what would that mat ; ter! It might he sufficient that a jury of Phren j ologisls should sit upon the skull, and pronounce tt i •>% Ji wiM tt'in , , ~,, ■,1 1 it guilty—forgive the pun—of a capital crime. II the body to which it belonged hud done no murder, who knows what the head may have me ditated, previous to death ! J ho thoughts once chambered there urn'll*" 1 ;" 1 ,rnn sHros and are gone; , " dl the dust tell ns where 1 hey that have hurst the prison house hath flown? No, hut the phrenological code would point to the domes of their birth and pronounce them murderous. Jho true process therefore to make phrenology consistent with morals nr religion is to leave all humps free play, without the slightest circumspection or confine of skull. 1,, such an event, what a fine ostensible bubbling un would ' p sei n 111 the head of one laboring under con flicting emottons! What a dancing of organs, like the drops on a lake, in a summer shower Philad. Gaz. One of the most curious pieces of artillery in Europe exists at Metz, and is known by the name of the Griffin, from the fabulous animal which is to be found among the ornamental por tton of its wot kumuship. This gun was cast in at Ehrenhreilstein, near Coblentz, where I'm I'rench Army took possession of it in 1800. It is 1 i feet in length and three in diameter. Its mouth is 104 inches diameter, and it weighs 22 . r >oo lbs. Its carnage is ‘24 feet in length, and the weight of the hall which it carries is 157 lbs; 42 lbs. of powder are required for its charge. Napoleon intended it for the Hotel of the Invn- Hdes in I aris, where a place was assigned for it, I ho fellow to this extraordinary piece of cannon is at present in one of the bastions of the old fortress of Bulchapour, in India, and is M feel four inches in diameter, and it is said to carry shot of the weight of 30 cwt., with a charge of 423 pounds ot powder. According to Ibis state ment such a piece of cannon, if used often, would exhaust the polvder magazine. It is not known at. what period, or by whom, this piece of ordinance was cast. I- iiom Diawian.—By an arrival from Bcr> mmla. papers have been received to Sept. 18th I lie LoyanJazottc of the 1 llh, says;—We learn thal not one third of the recently liberated Traidial Apprentices in Jamaica have returned to their 1 woik; those who have, are receiving one shilling and eight pence per day, with all the comforts and privileges which limy enjoyed when appren tices. ‘ionic of the men ask ten shillings per day for their labor, fins rate is quite preposterous, lot no estate in the island could possibly pay it and we are assured dial some could not afford even ten pence. The women, it seems, arc main- i ly the cause of this disinclination to labor, ns they i ridicule those whom ihcy find disposed to work at reasonable wages, and will not go into the fields themselves; being under the impression that it is not the Governor’s wish that they should— an inference drawn from the concluding portion of Sir Lionel .Smith’s Proclamation, which we insert to day. The late apprentices have, by a , law of the colony, a right to their planting grounds tor three months from the first of August, and on the proceeds of the hall grown crops from these lands, they are now subsisting. This stale of affairs, however, cannot last long; something must soon he done, or this splendid colony will go to ruin.” AccillF.NTS AT 'l'll V. 01110 WIUO Conven tion. —Wo learn from the Cincinnati News, dial at the Whig Convention at Mount Vernon, Ohio, the scaffolding erected for the speakers, on the outside of (he market house gave way, and pre cipitated all upon it to the ground. Senator Ew mg was addressing the multitude, and near him were seated Gov. Vance, Gen. Harrison, ami oth er dianii e „i„ho,l Whigs. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, though tor a icw momenta great apprehensions were entertained. A more scri-os accident occurred in firing a salute of or tillcry. While some persons were in the act ol loading a piece of ordnance, it accidentally went oIV and, horrid to relate, burned and mangled two ot them in a horrid manner. Nalhaniel Cook, the most injured, survived hut a few hours, the other, Mr. Isaac Knapp, was much injured, hut is pronounced out ot danger.

A Mohawk at a London Hall. ‘‘During his at ay in Lundon, n grand fancy uiill or masquerade waa got up with great! splendor, and numerously attended by the nobility and gentry Captain Brant, at the instance ol ivirl Moira, was also present, dressed in the costume of his nation, wearimr no mask, but painting one half of hie face. His plumes nodded as proudly in his cap as 'hough the blood o( a hundred Percise Coursed through his veins, and Ins tomahawk glittered m his girdle like burnished silver. There was, likewise in the gay and gallant throng a stately 1 urkish diploma of high rank, accom panied by two homis, whose attention was par ticularly attracted by Ins singular and. ns be supposed, fantastic attire. The pagent was brilliant as the imagination could desire, but among the whole rnotly throng of pilgrims and warriors, hermits and shrphards, knights, damsels, and gipsies, there was to the eyes of the Mussulman, no character so picturesque and sink ng as that of the Mohawk, which, being natural, appeared to be the best made up. Ho scrutinized the chief very closely, and mistaking Ins rouge et noir complexion for n paintt d visor, the Turk look the liberty of attempting to handle Ins nose. Brant had, ol course, watched the workings of his obser vation, and felt in the humor of a little sport. Nosooner, therefore, had Ilassm touched his facial point, of honor, under the mistaken idea that it was ot no belter material than the parchment nose ol the Strashnrg trumpeter, than the Chieftan made the hull resou id with the appalling war whoop, and at the some instant the tomahawk leaped from his girdle, and flashed around the astonished Mussulman's head as though Ins good master, the Sultan, m a minute more, would he relieved from any further trouble in the matter of taking it oil’ Such a piercing and frightful cry had” never before rung through that saloon of fashion, mid breaking suddenly, and With atari ling wild ness, upon the oats of the merry throng, its effect was prodigious. The Turk himself trembled with terror; while the female musk ets the gentle shephardesses and fortune tel ling crones, I nrks, .lews, a.nd gipsies, hoar leaders and their hears, Fals'alls, friars, and fortune tellers, Sultans, nurses, and Colum bines, shrieked; screamed, and scudded away as though the Mohawks had broken into the festive hall in a body. The rnat'er, however was soon explained; and the ineident was ac counted as happy in the end as it was adroitly enacted by the good humored Mohawk.— Slum’s "Lifeof Brant.’’ Holland. A female correspondent of the New York American thus writes from Amsterdam : Every one who visits Amsterdam, makes an excursion loSaardam, the place where Peter the Great worked at ship.building, m order to learn the art, and carry it to Ins own country. 1 he book says that, “Jn 1600 a singular per sonage presented himself at Soardam in the dress of a sailor, and hired himself as n ship, wright to one of the builders. He ate, drank, slept and worked with the oilier carpenters; and by his jocularity, and a certain superiori t\ winch he could not conceal, acquired the name of ‘ Master Peter.” Several weeks elapsed ere it was suspected that Master Pe ter was any thing more than a journeyman shipwright, but when it was at length discov c oil that the,Czar of all the Russias was con cealed under this moan appearance his com '° IT 81,1,,n wil ' l " le respect L ,I,C ICtT, lIUWUVLT, Hl sisleil that all their tormor familiarity should he resumed, and continued to associate vvitn them, until ho had become a good pilot, an excellent shipwright, and had thoroughly ac quainted himself with the construction ofevery part of a ship ol war.” J saw the ship-yatd where he worked, also the small cottage where he resided ; it is now covered with a siihstan. lial building, in order to preserve it from the weather, and to hand it down to posterity. It remains just as Peter left it.—Hundreds of names of visiters, from Emperors down to sim ple cits, are written and carved upon the walls and weather boards. In running over some or them, 1 chanced to hgh' upon that of my husband with the date ul 18122. This is the country of wind mills, and Siardam is the capital of them all, nothing else deserves the name. 1 have no knowledge of mechanics, or I might describe to you one of the huge, strange, and “wonder-working” machines. All the limber for the navy is here siwed by them. All the grkbi of the nation is ground, and the surplus water of (ho conn try is pumped over the dykes into the sea, by them. It is Slid that, at Suardam the number of wind-mills exceed two thousand. What a hue field for the Knight of La Manea. ll Saardam is one of the neatest towns in the world, the beautiful village of Brock is in this respeetthe very pink of propriety. Every house has a small garden around it, and each one is built in a different manner from its neighbor;—all are fantastic enough, turd in supreme Dutch taste. “The streets are divided by little rivulets, in mosaic work, with variegated bricks, peb bles and shells, and kept, msuch exquisite or der, that a dog or cal arc seldom seen to tres pass upon them. Carriages are not permitted to enter the village, and it is said a law for merly existed, which obliged passengers to take off their shoes in summer as soon as they entered it. “The streets are sprinkled with white beach sand, and “drawn” with the broom into as many curves and angles as the mathematical ingenuity of the Dutch housemaids can fur nish.
