Saturday, December 3. 1335 Prcsi lontial Electoral Elcctiou. It is yit too L-''..iy to speak with certainty of the presidential election. Maine, New Hani', shire, Connecticut, Now York and Peti'isv K ania. h ue gone tor Van Huron. The majority for the Van Huron t lectoral ticket in Pennsylvania wiil he ust about four thousand, an l the whole number of votes w ill he about 180,000. In Mich a number of votes, the majority of four thousand is merely nominal. It secures the electoral vote, to he sure: but the merest trifle, in the course of future events, will be sufficient to swell the minority, thus already formidable, into a majority. llrgiuia. Ivetitrns from liinctv-onc counties and cities jc an a,.i'.rregate to each ticket eompo.-ed in part of majorities only, as follows; Whig, Kh'-".1'.'. Van Huron, 20,Sil . Mi.s&(icfin.siffii.

The papers state that the New Hampshire ( lection was entirely without interest, the result being so confidently anticipated bv papers, that there w as no exertion. The Van Huron Electors aro chosen by a verv small vote. Xorth Carolina. We have returns from upwards of forty counties of North Carolina, which give an nirtrrCLrate majority for Van L'uren of 3,'2(I0, and a gain for the same party, since the August ele ction, of more than 5,000 and this, hh an undoubted Whig majority in flu State, against the candidate! Georgia. Returns from 5 1 counties exhibit the 'White ticket II. 072 votes in advance of the Van Huron ticket. The oain lor tho White ticket in these counties, compared w ith the Congressional election in October, is nearly '2000, a';d leates no doubt that the State has :ne fur White, by a mojorily groan r than that obtained by the adverse party, in October. Ttnmvsce has acted as becomes her the canons candidate is almost without a friend. It is believed Judge White wili in addition to Tennessee, get the votes ol til i , r , -iaoair.a, tieorgia, Louisiana, .Mississip pi, Ceorgia and .North Carolina; if so, the election of the veteran statesman Harrison by States w ill be secure: but if North Carolina goes with the spoilers, notw ithstanding the great majority of the people's votes against Van Huron still in that case, tnc caucus man wouut lie elected a mi nority spoils party pre sident.

The Presidential ( lection Is still uncertain. trCT'We omitted last week, to insert with the article addressed to the editor of the Evening Star, signed " Vineennes Jltosier,'' our acknowledgements to tho writer, who happened to he in New York when the false letter, counteracted and contradicted by him, first appeared. The number of Van l'uren voters count more than he supposed, hut it was for t! the party" many wore induced to vote, and our worthy friend did not err in the result. We hail htm as a good and true brother, .ind shall w itness his return to the Iloosier state with great pleasure. Good. Tho Indianapolis Democrat whined most delcctably, at the "bad box" or miserable condition into which the spoilsmen in Pennsylvania had fallen: and the Terrc-Hante Courier in pity, oilers some crumbs of exquisite comfort to console the despairing organ. The following is a sample: "You are beaten at home for certain in Indiana in Ohio in Kentucky in Tennessee but your party nun bo preserved by the vote of the Eastern Federal States, where "power is always stealing from the many to theft fo," and where the caucus and the committee-room is still stronger than the People. Tho original Jackson States of the West have rejected Mr. Van Huron, but he may be saved by Connecticut, and Maine, and New Hampshire, and Rhode Island!" The farmers of tho west little dream of ill'.' extensive wauls of uunv mamtfaetur-

We have not heard that any blame attaches to the Captain or Engineers, The Florida Campaign.

Compare the present state of the country, her vast resources, her increased facilities, tho deerepid condition of the Indians, with the state of tilings at the period of ('en. Harrison's Indian Campaigns, and some just notion may he formed of the difficulties he had to encounter and surmount. A proper estimate may thus bo made of the imputations thrown upon him. Cin. (Ja:. "Since our last we have seen several letters from friends in Florida, dated 21st, 2-d, VJ:!d, and one as late as 25th October. They are now situated on Rlaek Creek, near St Johns river, recruiting their own strength and that of their few remaining horses. It was expected that they would remain in their present quarters (very distant front an enemy) from two to five weeks, or at any rato until they had received a supply of horses from (ieorgia and South Carolina, and until a plenty Of provisions had been deposited by government at convenient depots, that they may endeavor to pursue the object of tho campaign without danger of starvation. -i lom an mat we can learn tnere is no l. .1 : l : . .1. . . . i -ii , uioeaiuniy mai iney will lie again en gaged in active operations against the one my for several weeks." 9 Stor.m Boat Engineers. e learn by our l'oston papers, that the Engineer of the steamer Royal Tar, lately burnt between Portland' and St. Johns, by which several lives were lost has been taken to St. Johns to te trial for !t is lift', and that circumstances were much against him. We are under the impression that the laws of England a re union more severe man those ot our country, upon remiss dr incapable engineers, to whom tho lives of so many thousands of people, are entirely entrusted, and the severity wc much approve. Internal im

provements have become so general in this

country, and natural channels are so numerous, lor steamboat travelling, that a greater amount of travel is performed bv steam than bv horse power. Both ways have their dangers, anil accurate caleulaton shows that in the aggregate, the inju ry susiaind hy travellers in the two ways. is about canal; but m steam travelling. science has gion man the almost entire control, while he is unable to control accidents that wiil happen in stages or in ships. Therefore, all, or nearly all, the accidents that occur in steam travelling, are prop erly placed to the incapacity or negligence of those who have the management of the power. To prevent these accidents then, and render travelling safe, it is only necessary that all engaged either in rail-roads or steam boats, should be properly educated for the station they attempt to fill, should bo perfectly temporato, over watchful, and attentive to their duties. If they attempt to perform such without these requisites they should be, by law, severely punished for their presumption. Some states have enactments, relative to this, but the severity of the law is not adequate to the crime, nor are the laws sufficiently general. Finos for such neglect or unskilfulnoss are not adequate punishments, whore clearly proved that tho case was one of neglect or incapacity, and the loss of lives tho eousoquenco, tho crime should be considered capital.

The pilot, Captain Atkins, of Portland, and the mate, Mr. P.'aek, of St. John, with the assistance of those who still had their senses, after hoisting a signal of distress, rlij.;l('tl the cable and made sail. The sails, however, caught lire, and were soon burnt. The steamer then broached to, and was shortly completely enveloped in Haines amidships. The lire interrupted communication between the lore and aft and neither those in the bows nor those in the stern, could see or know the fate of each other. All but nivself lied from tho quar terdeck. I set on the stern rail, till my coat took lire. I looked round, and seeing not a soul round me in the boat, I fasten- , .i . , i i i i ea a rope to me inter enain, ami uroppou over the stern, w here I found about fifteen others hanging indifferent places, mostly in the water. In fact the water washed over all of us, almost every minute. While: holding on I saw several drown some were beaten from their holds by the waves, and some falling into the sea for want of strength to sustain themselves any longer. 1 had fastened my rope to the chain, which held out against the fire much longer than the other parts to which many wore suspended. 1 wound the rope round my neck and thigh, and was enabled to bear up the additional weight of throe men and a lady, who hung securely to inc. Not far from me hung Capt. Atkins, the pilot he held up a lady w ith his foot: her arms failed her at last; but he caught her head with his feet, and held her full live minutes, till the sea washed her oil', and she drifted by; a kind wave throw her up against an Irishman hanging on my left, and she seized hold of him, and, assisted, perhaps, by our cneourageing and the Irishman's also, kept up. When the cutter's boat passed under our stern, Atkins and 1 bogged, for Cod-sake, that she would take those two, even if they left us as we thought wc could weather it a little longer. The gig passed within sixfeet of those two, who w o expected would be lost every minute. The officer of the gig was afraid, and left them and us to our fate. We were all saved that is, the Irishman, lady, Atkins, and those attached to my person by Capt. Rood in his small boat, and conveyed to tho cutter. The cutter was not in sight when I first wont on deck. I had been in the water, beating about under tho stern two hours, before 1 was taken oil". Thirty-three lives in all were lost, including six children. I escaped without shoes, stockings, or hat. and lost every article of property on hoard as a'so did tho other?, who wore fayed

While, of portlaud, lost s7,uOJ in cash. A WILD MISTAKE. A suggestion lias been made that the (.'(institution prohibits tho election of a President and Vice President, citizens of the same State. The constitution contains no such prohibition. It provides that every l.lector shall vote lor one person as President, another as Vice President, one of whom shall not he a citizen of tho same State with the Elector. Thus, tho Now York Electors cannotjvote for Mr. Van Huron as President and Mr. Granger as Vace President, but the electors of every other State in the Union can Vote for them both, -and thus both can be legally elected. Cin. (Jaz. Xcit'spapers. Small is tho sum that is required to patronize a newspaper, and amply remunerated is tho patron, I care not how humble and unpi elending the gazette which be lakes. It is next to impossible to till a shoot with printed matter fifty-two times a year, without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whose son is o!T from him at schools should be supplied with a newspaper. I will remember what a marked difference there was between those of my school mates who had not access to newspapers. Other things being equal the first were always decidedly superior to the last in debate and composition at least. The reason is plain; they had command of more facts. A newspaper is a history of curren events, as wo 1 as a eonious and interesting mis cellany, and w hich youth will peruse with delight when they will read nothing else. JifJc Longsl rt el . .

We were vet tenlay an eve witness to a specimen ol despatch, which, had it not fallen under our ow n inspection, we should hac been skoptioal in believing. It was the operation, at the Fair of ihe American Institute, of reducing wheat, in straw, to baked bread in ten minutes. The process was as follows: Twelve bundles of straw were placed in the machine in the garden, which came out threshed in minute and a half, the winnowing was ellectcd in a minute; the grinding and bolting occupied a minute and a half; tho dough was kneaded and the cakes formed in two minutes. The whole contents of the twelve bundles were placed in a kitchen range, and came out thoroughly naked in lour minutes making in the whole, h n minutes. The cakes were distributed around, and they onlp wanted the aid of a cooler, and a few pounds ol tioshen butter, to nave been sw allowed in another minute, without the aid of mastication. A". J".

The most remarkable fact, however, was, that the Lilliputian craft was on her way from Buffalo to Texas. How she managed to navigate the Hake we know not but she was tow ed through our harbor by the father of the two lads who composed her crew, a Yankee whose dimensions were in just proportion to the main craft. We suppose by this time she is on her way dow n the canal. Chavdeind JJaii Jhlv.
