We have very few additional returns since our last The telegraph is "out of order" in all directions, as is usual when a disaster overtakes whiggery. But the truth is bound to come eventually, telegraph or no telegraph. New Yoek The latest is by a despatch dated New York, Nov. 9, ad follows: "Thirty-two Senatorial districts heard from sixteen Whigs and sixteen Democrats elected ; being a Democratic pain of eight over last year. Tweutyfive counties elect 43 Whig and 23 Democratic Assemblemen, which is a Democratic gain of five over last year. In fifty-six counties heard from the Whigs are reported 2,000 ahead on the State ticket. There are three counties to bear from, which will make the vote yery close. New Jersey. New York, November 8, P. SI. Result House 29 Democrats, 29 Whigs. Senate, 9 Democrats and 10 Whigs. Mississippi. We have no doubt of Gen. Quitman election to the office of Governor by a large majority. MrcHXGAtf. Barry (dem.) is said to have a majority of about 4,000 for Governor, over Littlejohn, renegade. Ret. P. D. Güklet. This distinguished presbyterian divine, who bas labored for nine years as the acceptable pastor of the 1st Presbyterian church in this city, announced to his congregation on last Sabbath his resignation of that charge, having received and accepted a call from the 1st Presbyterian church of Dayton, Ohio. This determination took many by surprise, and will be deeply regretted by this whole community; to his church it is a loss which they may not soou be able to repair. We regret it much. Such men give character to a place, beyond their peculiar sphere of duty. Mr. G. stated in his remarks prefacing his resignation, that he did not leave this city because of any want of appreciation on his part of the great advantages it possesses over Dayton as a location, either present or prospective. Nor was it on account of the aalary offered, or for any such consideration. He was influenced chieIy by the reason that, after due consideration, he beliered he could better subserve the interests of his Master, in that field than in this. We see him go from this place with great reluctance, hoping as we do that be is not in error in the decision which he has announced. Wherever he may go, however, he will carry with him the affectionate re membrance of a host of admiring friend. 3-Swixdling Banks. It seems that Tippecanoe 18 not the only county that suffered by the explosion of the Susquehanna Bank. The Laporte Whig says "We fear that our farmers and business men will be losers, by the failure, as a large amount of its notes have been put in circulation in this portion of country. during the past summer and present fall." The Montrose Register, printed in the county town of Susquehanna, Pa., where the recently exploded bank of that name was located, says that its "promises to pay" are considered nearly worthies; or, to use its own language, it "is down, down, dowjt, past re covery." The Chester County (Pa.) Bank is getting in bad repute in Philadelphia, and a great number of busi Bess men will not touch its notes. The bank is con sidered sound, bat having refused to redeem the notes that were stolen from Dr. Darlington, which the thief bas succeeded in putting in circulation, it is impost ble to tell which are good and which are tad, so that the safest course venu to be to refuse all descriptions A gang of eight adroit counterfeiters has recently been discovered near New York city, and the parties mil arrested. The Scsquehasna Bank. A telegraphic despatch a few weeks ago announced that this Bank was broken. It is now stated that a person connected with it, whose came is not given, probably because he belongs to one of the "first families," has been commit ed to jail, charged with being a defaulter tu the amount of 40,000. It is further stated that 90,000 of the ank s money cannot be accounted for. 0-There was a tremendous Taylor victory in Pennsylvania in November last! St. Locis, November 9.

OrBy an announcement in this paper, under the head of Candidates, it will be seen that Isaac If Tatlox, Esq., of Madison, will be among the candi dates for Auditor of State. As to his clerical qualifications he will stand in the front rank, and as to his democracy, it is enough to say, that he was brough op at the feet of Gamaliel himself. Elliot N. Bowman of Fountain county will also be a candidate for Assistant Clerk to the House. He is well qualified. Cr-The trial of Merritt Young, fr the alleged murder of Israel Phillips, is still progressing in the Circuit Court. It is uncertain when it will be con eluded. After its conclusion, we shall publish a re port of the evidence, it being deemed inexpedient by the Court to publish it before the case goes to the jury. (vrWe regret to learn tbat Hon. Wm. J.

The Extra Mileage. The New York Express, edited by one of the whig members of Congress from that State, thinks that the Senator whocharged and reeeivedextra mileage, cannot be made disgorge. It says : "The "Tribune" hns an article upon the "mileage swindle," in which its facts are full of errors. "Constructive Mil age," it bays, is no older than 1915, a great mistake. It Ins existed for many years, and nearly a dozen years since we denounced it in the Washington correspondence of the Express. We believe it to Le co-eval with called sessions of Congress, whether like thoso of '37 and '41 or those upon the accession of a new Administration. "The Tribune think the Senators receiving their "constructive mileage," inut disgorge. Nonsense. They rould not receive it until the money was appropriated, and until the respective amount were passed upon by the Com-nitlee on Mileage, the President pro tern, or otherwise, of the Sonate, and the Secretary of Senate. You might as well think of extracting gold from rocks as to draw back money thus secured." A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: "I h-arn that the Attorney General, Mr. R.Johnson, will gie an opinion contrary to Mr. R. Whittlesey's, on the legality of the mileage of Senators for the special session on the 4t!i of March. Mr. Johnson expressed the opinion, at the late session of Congress, that the Senators were entitled to the extra mileage. The New York Tribune intimates that Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, did not take the mileage. It is a m, stake; he did take it, and believes himself entitled to it. It was slated that Mr. Calhoun did not take it. This -is also a mistake; Mr. Calhoun is sat is Red that he is entitled to it by law. "Every Senator took the extra mileage except Gen. Cats, Mr. Reverdy Jahuson and Mr. Clayton, and all these were of the opinion that the Senators were entitled to it. Mr. Cass could not with propriety take if, because he arrived only the day before the extra session, and took his mileage for the regular session. Every Seuator will maintain the right of the Senate tu this extra mileage! They will find means to overrule the decision of the Comptroller. "Mr. Dallas, as Vice President, drew up an argument in support of the right of the Senators to this mileage, and left it with Mr. Secretary Dickens. Mr. Webster and Mr. Corwin pronounced tho argument to be unanswerable." So it seems.fter all the flourish of trumpets" from the demogogue whigs, that Mr. Whi.tlcsey will not be sustained in his decision against tho allowance of the "constructive" mileage. And it is doubtful, if he can be sustained under the law, and the construction given to it and the practices under it, for the last twenty years. By the way, ti e Cincinnati Gazette agrees with us, as to Taylor's pretended a net ion and approval of

Whittlesey's conduct in regard to this matte:. It says: "That Mr. Whittlesey acted after full deliberation, as he thought right, we have no doubt, but we do not believe he hes.tated in the discharge of his duty, lest the occasion should he regarded by Senators as "inop portune, and might injuriously affect the administration; nor that he sought the approbation of the President in advance of his action, in this official matter. Thi is not like the man, and we do not credit it. And we have no more faith in the alleged oCer of Mr. Whittlesey to resign, to avoid the performance of duty, on his own oth'cial responsibility; if his action should fail to receive the approbation of the President! That too is unlike tho man." Nevertheless the Gazette is willing that Taylor should receive the benefit of this humbug, for it goes right on to remark as follows: "The answer attributed to Gen. Taylor, whether made by him or not, is precisely euch as we should expect from him on such an occasion. It is exactly the answer we should expect from such a man. It is characteristic of him, and should be remembered. "Tell Mr. Whittlesey to ik what is eight and let THE CONSEQUENCES TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES." The answer "attributed" to Taylor! What a miserable condition is the Gazette reduced to, thus to blow hot and cold in the very same breath, in one giving all the "credit" to Whittlesey, and instantly facing to the right about, so as to lend the same gaiment to cover up Taylor's nakedness! Not long ago, we read of two men in Boston who had but one pair of pantaloons between them. The one laid a-bed while the other played the " gentleman" abroad, alternately. Poor Whittlesey! Toor Taylor! Poor Whiggery. To what wretched shift are ye reduced ! OrCourtesy, or at least, citility, is a commodity as desirable as it is cheap, desirable especially in those hireling agents, whose duty it is to accommodate the public for the benefit of their roasters. But there is one agent of this kind in this vicinity, we mean a person named Hubbard, clerk at the rail road depot, who is considerably below par in respect to civility or good manners. We had occasion the . other day to enquire after a trunk which belonged to a lady, and which had been sent from the Palmer House by mistake down the rail road. We had at first a ßat though falte denial, that it had been so sent: but, after overcoming this positive denial, wo could obtain no further satisfaction, except such as might be derived from the unprovoked insolent bearing of an unlicked puppy. It may be to tho interest of the directory to employ such a fellow as Hubbard, until they hare some other line of road to compete with ; but after that, they will fiad it necessary perhaps, to cmploy some persou poaesecd of at least ordinary civility. Whig Attack on Taylor's Office-IIoldehs. Nepotism. Tho present war in New York between the Seward and Fillmore wings is evolving some rich facts. The Albany Journal (whig,) comes down on Mr. Hone, Gen. Taylor's appointee as Naval Officer in New York. It is worth reading, as it shows what mistakes the appointing power has committed. It says: "The most important Federal Offices have, in too many cases been bestowed upon political Antediluvians men of a past and obsolete school, without associations or sympathies with those who now teach and guide the political masses. A single example will provn this proposition. A universally respected citizen of New York, whose name, influence, exertions and means have been devoted to the Whig Cause, received an important Revenue Appointment. That appointment was both proper and popular. But it was the obvious duty of that gentleman to have placed meritorious, hard-working, democratic whigs in the subordinate situations around him. Instead of this, however, these places have been given to the members of his own family, so that while it was only intended to reward one worthy, veteran whig, the effect of his appointment has been to pension a family. This is manifestly as unjust as it is unwise, and cannot fail to exert a paralyzing influence over the working masses of the Whig party." Many of the leading whig papers are finding fault with Taylor's administration, and yet they charge democrats with "abuse" of it, whenever they condemn it! They seem to think they have a "monopoly" in fault-finding, as well as in many other things. Mr. Hannegan, United States Minister, returned to Berlin on the 10th inst. 0"The above apprars among the news by the Hiteruia. It shows that the statement that Mr. Hanne gan had not made his appearance at Berlin, to be untrue. He could not have relumed, if he had not already been there. Q"Ve learn from tho Brookville papers that John A. Matson, Esq.. the late Whit; candidate for Governor, has sold " his excellent family residence" in that town, and that he will remove to Cincinnati. We hope he will be prosperous ;n all liodible undertakings, among which we do not reckon whig candidacy for Governor of Indiana. Good bye, John. Don't forget your lloosier friends after your departure.

Illinois. The Legislature adjourned on the 7ih, after a special session of seventeen days. Amonr the acts passed are the following as we learu from the Register:

An act to provide for a general system of railroad j incorporations, and an act supplemental to tho same ; An act to incorporate the Geneial Hospital of the lakes. An act to incorporate the Cnicago Orphan Asylum, An art t,i amend tl.e several laws concern- i in-r limitations. An net to authorize the formation! of navigation and manufacturing companies on the Little Wabash and Saline rivers, and other naviga- j Lie streams susceptible of slcck-watcr navigation. , iii . . .l An act to enable the governor to carry out the provNinnsof a joint resolution of the last session of the general assembly, awarding swords to certain officers in the war with Mexico. Agent of State. Many of the Democratic papers are ursine the election of Jude Chamberlain as Agent bf State, at the approaching session or the Legislature. He certainly ha claims m the Party, as he has done more hard work for it and received less pay, than any o'.her man among them in the State: but he won't be elected. His claims, as heretoforc, will be postponed until a more suitable opportutiity, besides, it is not in the arrangement. It would not do to take two oßices from Goshen, and it is in the arrangement that Dr. Ellis is to be Auditor of Slate. The managers have determined that Mr. Edmonston shall be Treasurer, ür. Lllis Auditor, and Sentinel folks State Printers; and so far as any other aspirants are concerned, it would be better for them to remain at home, and thereby save the cost of a trip to Indianapolis, as it will he all "Loves's labor lost" with them.

G. ftnrvell, a citizen of Springvilla, in this county, died at his residence on Sunday, tha 4th oi Nov. I84J, at half aller 11 o'clock, A M., of Typhoid fever, in the 40lh year of his sen. Few men of his years have shared mora of the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens, than has the subjurt ol this notice. He became a citizen of Lawrence County in the fall of 1833, and in March, 183(3, located in Springville, where be has continued to reside up to his death. For three years, 13-11-2 and 3 he was the representative in the State Legislature Irom this county, in which capacity he was al

ways found the firm, zealous and unflinching advocate of

the richu and intercat uf Iiis constituents. In the war, eminent printer of Philadelphia, advertise Tor sale with Mexico, he evinced an esrly desire to aid his coun-! the original manuscript of Washington's Farewell try in the settlement of the quention in dispute, by offer- ! Address. ing his own personal services in Ihe Cold. In 1Ö47 lie j , . received a commission as Major in the 16th Regiment ofj . Colonization. -It is saul that the Colonization boUnited States Infantry, when he immediately embarked ciety intends to send out three hundred colored perfor the seat of war; and in which capacity, on various ; sons to Liberia in the packet which is to leave Ealti-

occasion distinguished himfelf in routin and defeating bands ol Ituerilus, who often harransed and dentroyed our trains and intercepted our despatches. In 1S-13 he was tramtferred to the 10th Regiment, and for his gnllantry and daring intrepidity, was promoted Iu the ollioe of Lieut. Colooel, which post he held until the close nf the war. In August, 1S-13, he returned to his family at Springvtlle, and again resuned the practice of ris profesnon medicine in w hich he labored most industriously up to the time ol his sickucss, which hat terminated his earthly career. It ia not our purpose, were we competent to Ihe tnk, to pronounce an eulogium upon the tile and public services of the deceased. We have felt it due, however, to his character and numerous friends and deeply afflicted family to pive a briet history of his life inco he became identified with the history of our State. He was a man of generous rnd noble impulses, and as such his loss will be deeply regretted by all who knew him. We are informed thnt up to the hour of his death he was calm and had the possession and control ol his mental faculties, and bur a Tmw minutes before he expired he extended his hand to different friends who came to his bed, in token of recognition. Some 39 hours before his death he gave some general directions about hi business, and, designated his executor thus exhibiting a clear and strong intellect, while al the same time fully conscious that the decree had gone forth, and the hour of his dissolution was fast approaching. lie leaves a most devoted and affectionate wife with four children to lament a loss the world cannot restore. They have the sympathies of many friends, and in their bereavement, doubtless will receive tbat kind attention which will in some degree, tend to sweeten the bitterness of the cup of their earthly affliction. Whits River Standard. Farmers should take Newspapers. A friend of ours, whose business has occasioned him to travel a good deal recently, in tho counties west of this, ex expresses much astonishment at the fact, that many, even rich, farmers do not take a newspaper. He told us of one or two instances, of the sale of hogs, of the finest and fattest kind, at lj cents per 100, net, when two cents might have been got just as readily, had not the farmers been entirely ignorant of the state of th markets. He said he had no doubt, and we have as Utile, that hundreds of farmers will this i.ason lose in this way enough to pay for a good newspaper as loug as ihey live. We can't help feel ing sorry that men are so short sighted, even in re gird to their pockets, as well as the improvement of their minds; but we don't know but it is wrong tobe sorry, for it is their own fault, and they hardly deserve pity for losses which ihey make no effort to avert. Newspapers have done more for the people of this country than can be estimated; and yet there are thousands of full grown men win do not see them at all, cvrept by chance. If a larga majority were as indifferent and stolid as these, wc should n t to above ihe level of Mexican,-a.,d become subject to political, as well as other rogues, who prey ujion ignorance and credulity. The Gag Law Revived. The editor of the Pittsburgh Morning Post, L. Harper, Esq., has actually been indicted for libel, under these circumstances. When Gen. Taylor visited Pittsburgh, a few months ago, a speech was printed and attributed, to him, which the Post declared was a caricatore and forgery of what he really did say. It is represented that a Mr. Ternpleton reported the speech, and is the prosecuting parly in the case. The probability is, that the Whig managers at Pittsburgh, many of whom hivo got rich by robbing and swindling the poor people employed in their manufacturing establishments, are the instigators of the action, and hope by thus subjecting the editor to the expenses of a protracted and costly law persecution, to break him down. He has been a thorn in their sides, by taking the part of the poor against them, and of course they hate him, and will ruin him if they can. He has declared that he will summon Taylor as a witness, to show that he uttered no libel ; and we hope he will do so. Mr. Harper will not be convicted, if Taylor will tell the truth under oath. California The othekJside. Mr. Robb, one of the St. Louis Reveille, who has seen much of far West life and adventures, is now in California. In a letter from San Francisco, July 20th, he writes: "The reports from the gold region are by no means flittering, and I have them from men direct from the ground, diggers who have arrived here within a few days, one of whom is at present residing in the same house where I am boarding. The waters arc high at present, but they inform me that when the diggings are in the most favorable condition, digging for gold pays poorer than most any olher employment. Some of the companies are not paying expenses, not averaging over $'2 and $3 per day, while the most ordinary mechanic in any of the towns is making 10 per day. Writers to the eastern papers chronicle ouly the success of the most remarkable cases, but never record tho fact that hundred dig in vain, or soon learn that nature has not endowed them with physical Ktreng'h sufficient to stand the excessive labor necessary to wash gold. In the mines nov, and, indeed, at all times, tho diggers arc up to their middle at least one half of ihe time, digging the earth out of wet pools. This very naturally produces sickness among thoso unaccustomed to such labor, and I see in our house two men who daily thank heaven that they have been enabled, after severe attacks of illness above, to reach hero alive. Mr. R. states that a few men are successful, but they no sooner realize a srnall capital than they seek the paths of trade, and leave the mines to new comers. Mr. R. says that he has heard of cases where Mexican and Chilian operators have arrived with fortunes and sacrificed them in vain search of gold. He adds: I was amused a few evenings since, at hearing a physician relale the conversation which frequently takes place between a member of the medical faculty and a patient ia the mining region. It is generally as follows: M. D. (Feeling the patients pulse.) "Let mo see your tongue. (Patient shows his tongue which the doctor pronounces rery yellow.) How long have you been digging." Patient. "Three months." M. D. What has been your average per month !" Patient. Eight ounces." (Doubloons.) dissolve it in water, drink a tea-spoonful three times a day. and keep out of the dust. Patient. "What is your fee, doctor!" M. D. -"Only twelve ounces!" Patient. "Will you take it in dast!" M. D. "I have no objections down with it." Thus the victim to tho gold fever gives half his earnings to the support of science, and mils out of his wet El Dorado to crall ever after, tho victim of a broken constitution, or crinpled pair of legs. 07"Michigan has an Emigrant Commissioner to reside at New York, whose butincs it is to give em igrants comet information as to the climate, soil, pr.-ductiona, &.c, of the State. By this means thousands of industrious inhabitants are annually added to her population. The Wisconsin papers, wo notice, are urging upon that State the adoption of a similar policy. Indiana needs no such "commissioner." Emigrants incontinently seek our richly productive lands and the hospitable home which may be found any where within our rapidly improving commonwealth, without any such adventitious aid. Let tbcm come, there is room for all!

Singular Enterprise. The Wetumpka State Guard states that a gentleman, on the lower part of the Alabama river, is now constructing, and will soon have in operation, a floating saw mill, tn be propelled by ateam, so as to travel to any point on the river and deliver orders for lumber. This no doubt will prove a profitable investment. Texas Teaching Morals. The livery stable keepers in Galveston, Texas advertise horses and carriages to let, except on the Sabbath.

Canadian Annexation to the United States has been repudiated and denounced by the Grand Master of the Order or Orangemen, in Canada, in a public manifesto, in which he shy that if the Provinces separate from tbe mother country, he would have, not a republic, but a monarchy. In 1770 the King of Portugal refused to allow widows over 50 to marry, because experience has shown that women of that age tiuilly marry young men of no property, who dissipate the fortune which such marriages produce to the injury of the children and relations (f such wives.

Mr. Mudge has sent specimens of the ore to several bcieutific men, who pronounce it equal to that found in any part of the country. Lafayette Dailu Journal. The Ladies of Pittsburgh, if we may believe one of their own oaoers. cannot keep their faces clean, in consequence of the cool soot which is constantly faHin the American Birmingham. When a lady'i face receives a descending flake, her nearest friend Woirt it off. T wipe it off would only make bad worse, and singular to say, the greatest kindness shown by the ladies to each other is when they com to blows. We learn from a passenger who came down on the Lucy Bertram, that a negro man belonging to a gentleman by the name of Glascock, residing in Marion county, near Palmyra, on Tuesday afternoon, ravished and killed a daughter of Mr. Bright, a gentleman residing next neighbor to Mr. Glascock, and also killed his little son, a boy aged eleven. The girl was fourteen years of age. At last accounts the negro was in jail, and was to be burned alive on Friday evening, by the infuriated citizens of that place. St. hnuis Union, Nov. 6. (v-Among the deaths recorded in the English papers, we find that of John Musters, Esq., of Colwick Hall, and Auneley Park, Notts. The death of this gentleman, in his 72d year, occurred on the 8lh ult., at Annesley Park. Although distinguished in sportin? and hunting circles, Mr. Musters is best known to the public as the successful rival of Lord Byron in tha affections of Misi Chawurth, the lovely heiress of Annesly, aud , tha solitary scion left Of a time-honored race. This lady, the "Mary Ch a worth" cd" Byrons muse, became the wife of Mr. Musters in August, 1605, and died in February, 1332, from fright occssioned by tha Reform riots at Nottingham. On his marriage, Mr. Miwtrri umed his wife's family name, but, subse quently, at the demise of his father, took back his patronymic. His extensive estates now devolve on his grandson, John Musters, a lad of thirteen years of age. A distinguished physician, speaking of the insufficiency of tho exercise usually taken by the ladies of our cities, says: "Exercise, fresh air, Iwalthare they not almost synonymous! The exquisite bloom on iho cheek of American girls fades in the matron much ooner here than in England not only because of tho softness of tho English climate, as rainy euppoüe. It is because ?xcrcise, so necessary to the maintenance of health, is so little a matter of i abit and education here, and so largely insisted upon in England; and it is because exercise, when taken here at all, i tiKi often as a matter of duty, and has no soul in it ; while Uie English woman, who takes a lively interest in her rural employments, inhales new life in every day's occupation." This is an important reason for making the exercises of ladies like those or horsemanship, of a dclijhtful character.
