AUGUSTA. Monday Morning, October ~2, New Jersey. V/e have thus far received no information from this slate which can he relied on as the true to gult of the late election. Pennsylvania. The recent election in Pennsylvania has gone in favor of the administration candidate for Gov ernor, David R. Porter, by a majority of 7 or 8000 votes. When we receive the official vote, wo will publish it. Both parties claim the victory less than ICO votes each. Ohio. The Administration has certainly carried this s'ate by a decided majority—having a Governor and a majority of members of Congress. Vermont. We have at last, says the New York Express, received the official returns to the Legislatuie, ol the vote for Governor in Vermont, which thus . effectually puts down another Loco I oco cry of ‘ ‘redaction.” Jennison, (Whig) 24,738 Bradley, (Loco-Foco) 19,231 Whig majority, 5,507 The Legislature of Vermont assembled at Montpelier Oct.

We understand that the Texian Minister, on the occasion of exchanging the ratifications of the boundary convention lately published, delivered to the Acting Secretary of State a note, in which, after staling in friendly terms that although, since the note of Mr. Forsyth, declining the proposi tion submitted by Texas for her admission into the Union, the question of annexation hod been considered by the United Stales Government as finally disposed of; yet, inasmuch as the impres. sion appeared still to remain upon the public mind in both countries that the proposition was still pending, he had been instructed by his Gov eminent to communicate to that of the United . Stales it formal and absolute withdrawal of that proposition. ' Blockade of Mexico. The following correspondence hasjaken place between the New York Chamber of commerce and Mr. Vail, acting Secretary of State, in reset / cnce to the interruption of American commerce caused by the enforcement of the blockade ot the Mexican and Buenos Ayrcan coast on the part of the French cruisers. New York, Sept. 5, 1838. To the Hon. Jons Forsyth, Secretary of State of the U. S. Sin.—Although not doubting that the recent blockades by French vessels of war of the Eastern ports of Mexico and Buenos Ayres, have already engaged the attention of the Executive, and pro duced its prompt and appropriate action, the Chamber of Commerce of the city of New York have felt it their duty, from the large amount of properly placed in jeopardy thereby, to respect fully and earnestly urge the adoption by the go. i vernment, of such farther measures io relation i thereto, as the rights and interests of the country T may require. ' Without presuming to hazard an opinion as to the legality - f blockades thus instituted, indefinite irt duration, and unsupported even by the rights incident to a stale of warfare, the Chamber do . insist that the comity of nations, anil lire rights 1 and interests of friendly powers, forbade under ■ any circumstances, the adoption of a measure so doubtful in character, ami prejudicing, so inatcri -3 ally, lire lawful commerce of innocent third par ! lies, without giving to them timely notice of the proposed restriction, f The French blockade of Mexican po-ts in the , Gulf has however, been rigorously enforced > against our vessels, sailing from ports in tire Uni ' ted States previous to the receipt in this country, : of its declaration, by tire cruizers of France; and . several American vessels, with valuable cargoes, t thus circumstanced, have been obliged to return ! to the United Stales. We arc yet to learn the ruinous effects upon our commerce by the blockade of the ports of | lluenos Ayres; and also, if extended thus far, (ns is greatly to be feared,) of the Mexican piorls in ■ the Pacific. They must, however, be materially 1 increased by their more remote situation, and by the want of suitable markets in tire neighboring ' states. The Chamber arc advised of several ves |- sels, with very valuable cargoes, (having loft this i . city previous to any suggestion of the blockade of ! the ports ofMexico,) whose cargoes will he placed in jeopardy, and whoso voyages will be ruined, if 1 prevented access to their ports of destination. 1 The Chamber of Commerce, deferring to your 1 belter knowledge ami judgment, as to the mca- I surcs most expedient to be adopted for a reclama ■ lion of losses from the government of Franco, as , well as to alleviate the derangement and interrup -1 tion which our Commerce has already experion ' ced, and is farther threatened with, will feel obli -1 god by any information which the department may think proper to communicate, as to the ex tent and probable duration of the blockade in the Mexican territory, and of the ports of Ducnos Ayres—with a view of enabling the patties inter ested to give more advised instructions to their agents abroad, in the embarrassing situation in which they have been placed. With high consideration, we are, Y T our nb’t. servants, ROBERT LENOX, Prcs’t, EUW’D. A. B. GRAVES, Sec’ry. Department or State, > Washington, October 0, 1838.3 Messrs. Robert Lenox, President, and Edward A. D. Graves, Serrotaiy of the Chamber of Com merce of the city of New York. Gentlemen : Your letter of the sth ult. though in duo time received at this department, has thus long remain ed unanswered, owing to the absence of the Pres ident, to whom it had been referred for his con.- | sideration. lam now instructed to Male to you, that aware of the great inconvenience which the restrictive measures adopted by the French gov i crnmcnl in the Gulf ofMexico and in the River r Plate, would occasion to ourcotnmerco, the Pre s ident had immediately ordered the adoption of cll measures which circumstances admitted, for the protection of the inlercsts of our citizens; and that every exertion has hitherto been, and still contin ues to bo, made, which may contribute to dimin ish the evils arising from the existing stale of things. No information has been received of the blockade having been extended to the Mexican ports of the Pacific ocean ; and it is taken for granted that, in the event of such a measure being 1 resorted to, previous notice of the intention will he . given to this government. This department is equally unapprised of the probable duration of the existing blockade ; but from the sensation which its operation appears to have excited , throughout the commercial world, and the efforts Understood to be made toward an adjustment of the dispute which gave rise to it, lho hope is ens lerlained that it cannot bo much longer protrac -3 led.

New York. The value of real and personal estates, in New Yoik, has, within die last three years, been fixed 1 by the assessors nearly as follows;—1836 was a 1 year tolerably prosperous, when the value was e estimated at £306,000,000. In 1837, the year of the revulsion, die value fell to £203,000 000. During this year as we learn from the Sunday V News, the value has increased more than half a e ynillion. The next year, it is anticipated, tbcie will be a considerable iucracso. c A Political Channeling.— ln politics, the rj most contemptible of all things, is ihe political changeling. Sometimes he blindly follows the e impulse of interest, and then will he leap, and jump on, and off, and over, and under the fence, i I with the agility of a grimalkin. Often he puls e himself in the keeping of some father confessor, J with more brains than himself, and Ihcn he , whips about like the weathercock, and is fre o quendy found in false positions. Having no fixed principles of action, he will occasionally 0 box the whole political compass; and this he 1 would easily do in as many minutes as there arc s signs in the zodiac, whether under Ihe guidance J of some political mentor, or following his own c impulse. He discovers his character when he i shows no character. He is “every thing by . turns, but nothing long.” He is a riddle to his J political friends, a mortification to his personal t friends, a burden to himself, a butt for the ridi« cule and fair game for the wit of political foes. Accordingly, ns if from choice, he incurs the dis trust of all parties, w hile he gains the confidence s of none; he loses the respect of every parly, and 5 avoids the contempt of none. This is the polili , cal changeling, anil this is his fate. What man of sense or thought can be induced to play such 3 monkey.like tricks; itself-punishment,self-retlec i lion, or public opinion, w ill not restrain any one f from such conduct, then nothing will save a man from political suicide. —Salem Uegittcr, Loco Foco Nominations for Congress. The following is the extraordinary ticket made last night in Tammany Hall, on the first ballot, for Congress,—a ticket which wo venture to say. i will excite surprize and amazement throughout ihe country : —Churchill C. Cambreleng, Edwin Forrest, Eli Moore, John MeKcon .V. Y. Ex i press of the ICt/i, Tho Globe says that llio Loco-foccs will “ilie in the last breach,” nml the Now York Evening Post says that they will “die hi the first breach.” So it seems that they expect to die in a pair ol breeches. Some of them must make an import lant addition to their wardrobe first. — Lon. Jour. The editor of the ***** says that he does sometimes “shame the Devil.” It cannot bo by telling the truth; it must he by outlicing him. — Hi. The annual fair of the American Institute was opened in New York on the 15lh. In the list of articles enumerated by the editor of tho Commer cial Advertiser is the following notice : First on our list we place n model of an inven tion, which, if successful, will open a new crain the history ol travelling by rail roads. It is a plan for an improvement in any locomotive now in use, which will enable it to travel with equal facility an inclined piano or dead level. The method by which this is etfected, has ai least sirn plicity to recommend it. Tho axie of the roar wheels of the locomotive i» made long enough to hold two smaller wheels at Us extremes. These small wheels run upon a railway, built for the purpose, at the point at which it is necessary to overcome an elevation, and the larger wheels ore lifiod by the smaller from the road. Tho weight of the locomotive is thus rested upon the lure wheels and the two supernumerary wheels. The same power which is necessary to draw three hundred pounds along the dead level with the or dinary wheels of the model in question, will, when the small wheels begin to act, draw six hundred pounds up an elevation graduated on the scale of six hundred and five feet to the mile. Tho in. vention, wo understand, has been submitted to the inspection of several mechanics of known practical experience, who arc unanimous in their prognostications of its complete success. One of the engineers of the N. York and Erie rail road gave it as his opinion, that $500,000 would he saved on the lino wf that road by adopting a loco, motive built on Ihio plan, for surmounting Iho Shawangunk mountain. The inventor is Win. F. Ketchum, of Buffalo. Mormon Tp.ouiu.ks ended. —A gentleman who arrived direct from Columbia, informs tho St. Louis F.epublican, that on Tuesday last all tho volunteer companies were disbanded by the Gov ernor, and hod returned to their respective homes. Peace and quietness reigned amongst tho Mor. mons —and the general impression in that section of the country through which our informant liav cllod was, that the Mormons had been grcallv slandered—“more sinned against than sinning.” Great sales of Mouus Multicaulis Trees. —The great auction sale at liallirnoro on the 4th inst. comprising about 120,000 trees of this inva luable species of the mulberry, was attended by an immense concourse o.’ purchasers, and the trees were sold at from 20 to 22 cents per foot, counting tho root at six inches, and measuring the trees to their extreme height. Tho cuttings or joints were sold at four cents each and up wards. At the sale at Germantown, Pa. on the 2d inst., the trees sold at 20 to 24 cents per foot. A sale was also made at Burlington, N. J. on the 4 th inst. by Mr. Samuel Gummere of 3430 trees, comprising an entire parcel, and taking large and small for $2501) —and another sale at the same place of one thousand picked trees, for two thou sand dollars, being $2 for each tree. A great Steamboat. The following article, from the Buflido Com mercial Intelligencer, gives an account of a mag nificent steamer. The New Eteamdoat Illinois.—This beau tiful specimen of western skill entered our harbor yesterday morning, lor the first time. We found this mammoth of the lakes lying at the foot of Maine street, with the steamboat Pod Jacket alongside, which by the way, might have been mistaken very easily for a yaw! boat, fitted up in miniature, compared with the monster that lay outstretched beside her. We stepped on hoard, and look a journey through and over this floating palace, and came away convinced that Buffalo would have to try again before heating our De troit neighbors, in the steamboat line. Tho Illinois cost $100,000; is owned by Mr. Oliver Newberry, of Detroit, and is sailed for the present by that veteran tar of the lakes, Capt. C. Blake. She measures 197 feet keel, 210 feet deck, 55 feet beam, and a depth of hold of 13 feet. Her tonnage is 750, and she is propelled by a low pressure engine, with a5O inch cylinder and 10 feet stroke, from the foundry of Mr. J. P. Allaire, New York. The ladies’ cabin has CO berths and slate rooms, and a very neat and commodious drawing room adjoining, without berths. The gentlemen’s cabin, which is below, excels any thing that wo ever saw on board a steamboat or vessel of any kind. It is 85 feet long, and has a line of 75 berths upon each side The deck is supported by marbled pillars, with arches ovei each tier of berths. This boat, when finished, for it is not so now will accommodate cabin and steerage passengers to the amount of 1000 persons at once, and this is the most correct idea that wo can give of its spacious accommodations. Wo Cope that the II ■ linois will prove a source of profit to ilsen'.erpri sing owner, butene thing is certain, that up to this time, dming tho present season, the business of the lake, although larger than ever before, has scarcely kept pace with the manifold facilities foi doing it. Juvenile Courage and Patriotism. Instanced in Canada, during the distur bances AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR 1837. Times of peril and strife are not without their uses. It is at such periods that, the more sublime virtues are elicited, serving at once to enoble the human character, and to stimulate those who come after, to an equally honora ble course when duly to their country demands their exertions. If, is true likewise, that such periods bring to view llio darker portions of our nature ; the base passions and selfish de vices of the heart are developed as well a< those which appertain to the better part of our being; and times of commotion may truly he sa d to exhibit beacons to shun as well as models for imitation. The following brief narrative contains instances of both ; the good however being the subject matter, and the bad incidentally. It consists of well authenticated fuels, and, whilst the conduct of the high-spir ited damsels is worthy of all pra:sn, it must he evident that loyal chivalrous feel ngs must have pervaded tho beans of the parents f rom whom they have learnt so noble a bearin'' in difficult emergencies. Charlotte and Cornelia are tho darn'll, ters of Capt. P. Ue Grasse, a military officer of long experience and tried loyalty, residing in a retired silua’ion a few miles distant from tiie city of Toronto; and it will he seen that the same patr.otic feelings which an mated his bosom weio carefully cultivated m the hearts of his children. On tho memorable 10 li of December hist, Capt. Do Grasse having acci dentally heard that the rebels purposed to possess themselves ol Toronto, ho felt himself called upon promptly to leave all domestic ties s and comforts ; and, confiding the protection t t of his family to The Arm which is mighty m t save ho proceeded r.t 11 o’clock at nq ht ; 0 . • the city, in order lo lake up arms in its ds. t 3 fence, 11 is daughters, the elder of whom had v • not completed her fifteenth year, resolved toll • accompany him and see him sate to the city, ! a r that they might relieve the anxiety of their ! ■ • mother; and with some difficulty obtained Ids ' i permission to execute so perilous a design. i It was a beautiful moonlight night when f they commerced their journey, a considerable I • portion of winch was through the bush, or m- : > clean dcountry. Between Ualliwelland 'lor- i - niett they fell in with the notorious Matthews I 1 and his parly, for y two in number, who were j v 1 advancing in two idea. Capt. ])e Grasse was l it ' now in iminent danger from which he would : 1 J hardly have escaped, but the presence of mind , n 5 of Charlotte saved them. Who suddenly took B lo the 101 l file, and by paddling through the | , r mud she came in contact with Matthews’ foot i tracks, and attracted his notice; by which ' means Capt. l)e Grasse and bin other dau.gh ! ter passed unobserved. Charlotte was nlluw , ed to pass without obstruction. At length I about one o’clock the party arrived at Toronto, tli , where they t«und all in alarm end commotion, lii i guns were heard firing in all directions, an 1 | c i all the preparations fur immediate bo.itilitica i i , were at hand. Notwithstanding the e o'-mm (t. i of danger, the youthful heroines determined t 1 to return home, even ul that untimely hour of f the night. The moon continued to give her p light until they reached Arthur V Distillery, i. 1 after which they had to encounter all the tor- 'J ‘ rorn of darkness, and the fears of falling into i t ' the hands of rebels known to bei disseminated v i in all directions of the vicinity. All llicse ii 1 however they escaped and reached home about t ! 4 o’clock in the morning. n On the following day (Tuesday) the sistois Ii ! went to Toronto, carrying with them infer- a 1 matiun of the proceedings of the rebels at the 11 Don, and they returned in the evening after a , having enquired for their father. On Wed- v nesday they again succeeded in crossing the I j dreadful bush which separated their homo t . from the city. Their father was that day c.i t, duty at the Parliament house; but -erne cue c had told Cornelia dir.l he was at the advanced 1 i post, at the turnpike m Tonga street, whore I . indeed he would have been, had it not have I ■ been for the temporary indisposition of Cel. h ’ M , which made the alteration nnceseary. v Cornelia not finding her father r.t the post do- c • scribed, and perceiving the general terror on f 1 every countenance, its consequence of the ic. r port that the rebels were i>ooo strong, she re- g solved to orocecd alone lo Montgomery Va- s ! vern, their head-quarters, and c.scoria n the c ’ truth or falsity of the rumour. As she passed f ! through the rebel fines, uli seemed amazed at t • seeing a little gni on a fiery pony coming L j fearlessly among them, and she could hear i ’ j them enquiring of each other who die was. t Thus she readied the wheelwright’s, adjoin- t ing Montgomery, without molestation; and as- s j ter enquiring t)ie price of a sledge of particular i . dimensions, cud promising to give the wheel j wrmht an tmslver the following day,she was s about to return to lha oily, whan suddenly 1 three or four men seized her bridle, exclaim ing. “You ure our prisoner !“ JCy tlieee man ‘ „ she was detained nearly an hour, waiting for . the return of McKenzie. All at once a gene ral huzzaing was heard, and McKenzie ap . peered, apparently eialed. lie cried“Glo r nous news, vve hava taken the Western 1 1 mail !1” Then follo.ved the coachman and 1 f passengers, prisoners, The congratulations t of the rebels and thoir crowding round their i captives caused some contusion, and relaxed i the vigilance ofher guards, and Cornelia la.- I king advantage oftlic opportunity, whipped J . her pony and made her escape, although pur- ( l sued and fired at several times. f 4 After ridding herself ol this party, she was i “ again fired at f rom Watson's, and was sum. monied to surrender, bat this seemed only lo ’• give additional streng.h to her resolution, and u utlengihshe reached the city, bringing the ■ news of tlie robbery of the public mail, and I dcscrioing the numbers of the rebels to be 1 ‘ greatly exaggerated, many of them lo be mere y hoys armed with clue sticks, few possessing guns or rifllcs, chiefly carrying long poles ’ with spikes on the ends, and tfio people hav -3 ing little or noammun|'ion. In the mcanlimo the other sister Charlotte had been detained by the loyal parly at the ' | s market house, when one of the officers heg ,t ged of her to have the kindness to lake u des- ' 1S patch oft he greatest consequence lor the safe- 1 is ty of the town, as they had not a horseman to ;r send out. She complied with the request, and carried the despatch some distance on the v, Kingston road where she met, the picqnet, and rs returned with the answer to the city. Alter is whicii she set out on her return home, in the s evening. When near the corner of the bush f before Sinclair's clearance, a largo party of i - rebels fired at her and wounded her. Her pony 0 also was wounded and the poor bonsl jumped 18 over the fence ami never slnppc d lill he reach 18 ed the chapel. Immediately alter the first ir fire of tills party one of the cowardly ruffians ran across the angle of the hush, and upon coming in front of her fired in the noble girl's face ! ! Cornelia arrived safely at, homo that night • about. 11 o'clock, Without having seen hurl II father. Hhc therefore crossed the bush again I on Thursday morning and followed the loyal 0 troops to Yongn street, where she was seen perfectly composed and fearless near the thnris daring of the cannon and the heal of the fire. 8 As she was leaving the city that morning she h was met. by the excellent Chief Justice, who d introated her to let him know all the intclli- i | - genco she could collect in Yonge S‘reel, being 8 extremely anxious to hear the issue of the at r tack against the rebels. This Ihe courageous , c and loyal hearted girl undertook to do. 8 She was returning borne to inform her , 1 mother of the even's of the day and to give 1 assurance of her father's safely, when upon . 1 her arrival at the Don Bridge she discovered • I that Matthews had set it on (ire. Instantly < • she returned to the city and gave the alarm. - Tlien, unable to pass the bridge on her pony . t In consequence of the great damage it hud re > cciverl, sfie loft the animal in iho city, and pro -1 ceedcd on loot at 11 o'clock at night, though i the district was filled with dispersed rebels. 1 All who wore witnesses of the conduct of 11 r these extraordinary girls spoke of it in terms r of unqualified admiration.

A New Jersey ilcro. Captain Nathaniel Fits Randolph, of Wood bridge, was one of the bravest and most intrepid men—twice ho was offered a colonel’s commission in the regular army; but ho prefer i ,d Urn ex ninnnd of his own select volunteers to uuy «,.L -r service; aiid with them performed the meet desperate deeds of valor. lie and his mm were once surrounded by a greatly superior force of the British. Their uniform motto was, “death or victory." The contest was maintained with great sluugh ter on both sides, until I.e stood literally .lone, wading in the blood o. tus companions who lay in heaps dead and wounded around him. In this condition ho seized a musket, and being a man of great muscular strength, defended himself, end knocked down his enemies right and left, with the butt end of it, until the Bri tish commander became heartily sic!; of tho coolest, and begged that for God’s sake ho would desist and spare tho sacrifice of human Ido, seeing that ho must eventually fall into their hands deed or alive. Ho coolly replied that he was not yet a prisoner, and again p!a cod himealf in a posture of defence. The British officer renewed his entreaties; telling him lie was tho bravest man ho ever saw, and that it was a pity so valuable a life should be lust in so unequal a contest; promising him with the kindest treatment. At length, being covered with wounds, and faint and weak from fatigue and loss ofblood, and no longer able to raise the weapon of defence, ho reluctantly gave himself up, under tho pledge that he should be well treated, and exchanged the first opportunity; which promise was faithfully per formed, and ho was soon again at liberty to lake up bis arms in defence ol freedom. His bravery, intrepidity, end gigantic strength made him a terror to tho British wherever Ins name was known; but the lories and London traders were his most intimate foes. A whole squad dared not encounter him in the day time even when alone. On a certain occasion, when bo was on a scouting expedition on Staten Island, a party of lories secretly dodged id in into a bouse in the over'i**«i -‘-a after no m-.n laid aside Ins arms, rush ed in upon him and made him prisoner, when, to bis great grief and mortification, lie remained nearly a year before lie was exchanged. At the head of bis volunteers bo once encoun tered a company of Hessians, one of whom being somewhat separated from thereat took deliberate aim and wounded Captain it. in the nrrn. Ho plainly saw from whence the ball came, (iho companies being very near together, and walking deliberately up to the follow, though he would say something to him, seized him under his sound arm and brought him off a prisoner, while bis gaping comrades stood motionless with surprise. Captain K. was finally killed by a musket bull in a battle near Elizabethtown, and buried at, Wood bridge with the honors of war. —Newark Hugh. From the Democratic Review.
