THE ELECTION. We have delayed the present number a day or so, in order to give as much news as possible of the late election.

Education. By a resolution of the Convention of Editors in this Stat it is made the duty of editors to publish articles on the subject of common schools, and other matters connected with education. Much of this duty is taken off" our shoulders by the Common School Advocate, a work devoted exclusively to this subject, printed in this place. It is a valuable pa
per, and its able editors are well calcula
ted to awaken the people to the importance
of this sul ject. The founder of this paper, feeling deeply on the subject, and seeing the total apathy of the great mass of the people of this State, on the subject of education, determined, at his own expense and risk, to commense a work that should tend to awaken an interest among parents, and lead them to reflect on what is due to their

Their two-story brick building, erected for a professor's hcusc, directly opposite the College campus, was unroofed, and the principal part of the wall facing the College, thrown down. One of their coopershops was umooled, and a large shed warehouse destroyed. And finally, their large brick boarding house had the entire gable, facing the track of the tornado, thown out, and the chimneys and smoke house demolished. Yet the Board are happy to be able to state, that there has been no loss of either life or limb, and that the College exercises were intermitted but a few days.

THE PROSPECT. Mississippi, Alal ama, r.nd Tennessee, give the most flattering accounts f the growing crops ; while in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri, the craps of wheat and corn, and every kind of grain, are more flattering. Wc are almost inclined to concur with a writer from New Orleans, who predicts that wheat in grain-growing States of the Western Valley, will not not be worth over 40 or 50 cts. per bushel, and that Pork will be contracted for at 2 to2j cents, instead of 6 to 7, as it was in November and January.

Ib. STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT. The steamboat Union lately blew up, at Hull, England, destroying many lives. From 70 to t-.O persons were blown into the air. Abou 60 persons including many ladies, were in the cabin at the time of the accident, but the cabin filled and sank with till its inmates, before any assistance could be rendered; only one lad escaped, bv crawling out the window and swimming. The Coronor's Jury inquired into the cause of the explosion of the boiler, and
returned a verdict ot manslaughter against the engineer. The coronor and the foreman waited upon the mayor with their requests, and that of the j iry, that he would call a town meeting, "to take into consideration the strong necessity of petitioning Parliament to protect the public from a recurrence of events so awful."

The Balloon ascension took place a few minutes after six o'clock on Monday evening. The weather was delightful; scarcely a breath of air was stirring, and the flight of the intrepid irronaut, Clayton, was consequently upward, for about fifteen or twenty minutes. After ascending to a great height he was wafted lo the south by a gentle breeze about three miles when, wc understand, he deeended, anchored his Balloon, and took lodgings for the night with one of the farmers of Jefferson county.
Yesterday morning, about half past eight o'clock, when our citizens were anxiously inquiring whether Clayton had again returned to the earth, hc was discerned, a short distance south, majestically floating in the air. Gradually the Balloon
rose and floated northward, until it came directly over the city, where it hovered fir about two hours, as if to afford our citizens an opportunity to view it at leisure. It was then wafted in a south-western direction for some hours, and was visible as late as one o'clock, P. M. It was, without doubt, the most interesting and splendid ascension that ever look place on this side of the Atlantic.
We expect, in a few days, to lay M:. Clayton's account of it before our readers. Louisville Adv. Aug. 2.

They have passed a law, declaring that the land offices shall be opened on the 1st October next; and have make provisions for scctioni.ing the country, in a manner similar to the system pursued in the
United States. A minister has been sent to England, and a commissioi er appointed to join the
one appointed by tne unncu relates, lor the purpose of running the boundary line between the two governments.

The Locisima State Bank is preparing to resume specie payments. It already pays all notes under $10. and a portion in specie on notes over that sum.
Ihe Banks of New Orleans have paid out much gold and silver since the Suspension. The Bulletin remarks, "Our readers may now expect within a short time to see the mctalic medium nt its proper value, for independent of the decline which it has experienced amongst ourselves, owing as well lo the supply continually flowing in from abroad as" to the facilities in tho way of small buyiiifr and selling likely to accrue from the municipal issues, and the want of which indeed tended materially to enhance the value of coinage, in New York it is looking down, by reason of the demand for exportation having in a great measure ceased. The lack of demand in the latter place is mainly attributed to the gigantic exertions of Biddle, who has been forwarding cotton to an immense n mount t meet the engagements of the United States Bank in Europe, (hereby supporting the credit of the UistituUon, whilst retaining the specie in iho country. The power and ability displayed by this able financcr in steering through the difficulties of latter limes, must command for him the admiration even of inveterate opponents."

Every bridge on Conncaut Creek, save one, was carried away; acres upon acres of oats, corn, potatoes, and grass were totally desf roved, and miles upon miles of fence disappeared. Thousands of dollars worth of luml cr,woed, &c. accumulated on the Lrnks of tho creek, were totally lost. No flood has oceured within the memory of the oldest

The amount of produce destroyed is quite an important item, and many families arc in danger ofbeing fearfully stinted.
