FRIDAY EVE, JUNE 8, 1853.

Illinois Election.

Our returns from the recent election in Illinois are too meagre to enable us to

say

with any degree of certainty,

what is the final result. We have the returns from, Clark, Edgar and Coles, (unofficial, though considered reliable,) which are as follows: Clark co. For Supremo Judge. Maj. ,. Skinner, 700

Turn^, 700

Against prohibition, 600

Coles co. Mai. *144

For Supremo Judge. Logan, For Clerk.

Corneau, 17G

Against Prohibition, 344

Maj. 688

Edgar co. For Supremo Judge. Skinner, For Clerk.

JBSili Turney, 597 Against Prohibition, 526 Judge Harlan is re-elected without opposition.

The Lafayette American, from return received, infers

that

the Liquor

Law ig adopted. ^We are inclined to doubt it.'-/

RESPITE FROM EXECUTION.—Welearn from the State Sentinel of the 7th, that Gov. Wright respited the case of Samuel Romaine, of Allen county, who was to have been executed on the 15th of .this month, until the 17 th day of August.

The record of the case is filed in the Supreme Court and the object of the respite is, we presume, t« give time for the Court to examine the case.

JK?" The frost on Monday morning, left its mark very sensibly on the young corn in Ills, especially in the timber lauds. On the prairie it is less injured, especially in the flatter portions. We dont think the wheat suffered any.— The prospects for good wheat crops are very favorable, and the price of flour must be sensibly affected, in a short time.

A ship lately sailed from Liver

pool for Australia, with a cargo of S63 unmarried females.

There are just now a number of

burglars,pickpockets, and adroit thieves travelling on railroad cars.

The Indiana Reserve Bank at

Kokomo, and the South Bond Bank have resumed specie payment.

MS" General Collum, of Tennessee, has received tho nomination of the American party in his district, for re-elec-tion to Congress.

JtW The expenses of the liquor riots at Chicago foot up $3,503.

JfcST The prohibitory liquor law went into operation in Delaware on tho first of Jnne.

jy Capt. Gardner of tho 10th infantry, U. S. Army, has opened a recruiting office in Lafayette, this State. So Bays the Journal of that place.

We are indebted to Mr.Hough,

the efficient and accommodating Maij Agent, between this city and ludianapolie, for the latest Cincinnati papers.

Rain at the South—Prospects for Southern Crops improving. A correspondent of the New York Journal {of Commerce^ writing from Elton, Edgfield, South Carolina, under date of May 30th, says*

Rain has fallen copiously since I last wrote you, April the 20th. We then had a drooping prospect for the growing crops, all being parched with hot sun, and clouds of dust flying in every direction. Now the scene is changed. Rain has fallen nearly every week since then, and sometimes thrice a week.

All nature wears a different aspect.— Where, before the rain commenced, stood a withered stalk of corn, now grows the luxuriant stalk of dark blue color, showing a sucker on each side. And where not a cotton stalk was to be seen, now stand thousands, that are growing as fast as a hot sun, and occasionally a thunder shower, can make them grow. Indeed, every thing seems to favor the farmer now.' The winter and a part of the spring having been dry, gave him time to prepare his land deep and well for the growing crop, and now it begins to repay the kind usage.

The season has been favorable for the cotton plant since it has come up the weather being hot caused it to grow finely. We have had no cold rains, nor North-eaststorms.as is common in May, to chill its progress in growth.

Tho drouth has not injured the corn crop in this section as yet. It is considered by many old planters to be an advantage to liAve a dry spring, rain being wanted the latter part of June and

wvimfj iwuiMju niu juiicrjjiM'iui dune anci

was anticipated a few weeks ago. Also, the wheat crop will turn out better than!

was expected. The medium height of the stock is deficient, but the heads are what wo prize in this crop, and we have them well filled with grain. I have a part of my crop harvested. Somo planters are done, and have had apart turned, into flour for immediate use. Flour'

peaches in this district the coming sea-

ng from Houston, Texas, on the 23d of May, says, these rains have come in time to ensure plentiful com

crops, which is, after all, everythino- men the necessity of

crop will bo short. The prospects of

our cotton and sugar planters are flat-

tering.

The last Louisiana papers speak in most encouraging terms of the effects of the copious showers that have recently soaked that State.

How the Virginia Election was Carried. The last Washington Organ has the following:

THK VOTE IN VIRGINIA.—In twentyfive counties of Virginia, frcm which full retur»8 have been received, Mr. Flournoy's votp exceeds tlmt of Gen. Scott at least four thousand. If this ratio of increase has been preserved throughout the Suite, Mr. Flournoy's vote has reached 00,000, or ten thousand more than that of General Pierce! If this be so, tho whole vote of Virginia is from 170,000 to 180,000 votes or

from 30,000 to 40,000 larger than was

anticipated by auy but the shrewdest of the Democratic politicians. Wo wero1

the Manassas Gap, avid the Northwest- iP

ern the American party lost ground materially while they gained substantially in almost every other locality. What has caused this difference bu the foreign vote?

A letter from Staunton informs us that 340 laborers were brought to the

polls in that place. A letter from Ritchie county, in Northwestern Virginia, informs us that 110 Irish laborers voted there—and many of them,'it was supposed, without the requisite qualifications. O ther statements of a similar character are made in the local papers of several districts.

We think it will be manifest, when all the returns are in, that the estimate of 70,000 votes for Flournoy was not an exagerated estimate, and that Mr. Wise has succeeded merely by the influence of the foreign vote.

The Fearful Accident at the Walnut Hills Tunnel.

FIVE MEN KILLED.

About five o'clock yesterday morning the fall of a portion of the roof of the' Walnut Hills Tunnel, killed five men and badly injured another. The names of those killed are as follows: James Pierce, overseer of the excavators on the north end of the tunnel, a sino-le man John Collins, a single man Patrick Hagerty, married, and father of one child Phillip Devise, a single man. James Coleman, the injured man, was severely hurt about the head and chest. There were eleven persons at work in the tunnel when the accident occurred. The five who escaped at once set about! digging out their comrades.
