Bat we nust hasten to a conclusion, Some weeks after this the village of S. was -one Saturday evening thrown into uncommon excitement by the arrival of Mr. Bellepont, with another gentlemao.in a splendid coach drawn by two beautiful hays. Report spread the coise of this event, and conjecture was busy to ascertain the cause. Oa the next morning,when the people liad assembled at church they were surprised to see the 6trange gentleman the companion of Mr. Bellepont ushered up into the pulpit by their pastor. It was scon made , known that the reverend
stranger was the great Dr. , one of
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. We have been very careful in obtaining
all the information noon the suhiert of the
Presidency for this paper. It will be found in the following columns. There is but very little doubt but Gen. Harrison is elected. Next week we shall be able to state positively about this matter. So far as returns have come, we have been disappointed in no state except Virginia, and although she may yet vote for Harrison, still her maiorilv will be
too meagre (if at all) for her two gallant ons.; Implicit reliance should not be placed in any j of our returns, still we think they are nearly correct. '
Indiana. We have received returns (not official) from 51 counties of Indiana, in which Harrison's majority is 11,233. There are 87 counties in the Slate, consequently 3G more to hear from, which in all probability will increase Harrison's majority between 2 and 3,000 more. We deem it useless to give a table of the votes of this State until the official returns are received. Our majority will be over 12,000.

Hut sit 1 1 greater surprise reigned through the congregation when the clerk arose and proclaimed that Richard Beliepont of the ci ty of and Isabel Mantou, of S. intended marriage. Dr. conducted the ser
vices in his usual elegant and inimitable style and iho members of the church having been
reoiesiea to remain alter the congregation
had retired, he remarked to them. "that he
hoped they would indulge him a moment, while, at the request of a friend, he alluded to
a delicate subject in which that friend was
concerned. It has been a matter of extreme
regret to Mr. Beilepent that his intentions, uri motives, and character, duringhis former
visas lo mat place, have been so misconstrueted as to become a matter of reproach to a worthy family, with which he is soon to be
united by nearer ties. It might seem inap
propriate to the time and place to touch unon
this topic, had it not been that the church (as; Cumberland he understood) had deemed it one sufficiently ! Crawford

Kentucky. This State is so thoroughly whig that very little anxiety is manifested in the returns. Nearly all the State has been received. It is contending bard for the supremacy over Ohio. " Kentucky will give - between 23 and

Pennsylvania. From the table below, it will be seen that this State is claimed by 795 majority for Harrison. This table is from the Cincinnati Gazette. Dawson's Advertiser of the same date contains a table giving the State to Van Dure n b j 236 majority. The official vote was compared at II arrisburg ou Wednesday last, and in a day or two the matter will be settled here.

And as to Mrs. Mantou, those of you who have known her for years, can best tell whether the defamatory rumors which have been current at her expense, are more dishonorable to her, or to those who have circulated and believed them.

The population of Mobile, according to the census just taken, is 12,700. - The annual amount of cheese sold in Cincinnati yearly, is estimated at about nine hundred tons, for the last six years.
Another new Reading. According to
the Picayune, it is vulgar to speak of a divorce. The new reading is "a repeal of the union." The population of Newport R. I., under
the new census, is 8.321. White males 3,724, white females 4,172.
r The number of white females in N.Orleans
exceeds the number of white females, 10.292,

The exports from New Orleans, during the previous year, in cotton, sugar, tobacco, flour, bacon and pork, corn and lead, amounted to some sixty millions of dollars. About eigh teen thousand ships, and twenty thousand
.steamboats have been employed in freighting this merchandize, and it has brought, as it is computed, fifty thousand strangers, and five millions of dollars to N. Orleans, in the way of commissions. , , ...
