Election returns stiUcome in,a^^ yffiy

county. There are many rumors from various parts of the State, but not reliable.— The great length of the ticket this year, providing for new offices under the new Constitution, has occasioned much delay in counting off the votes from all places that we have yet heard. The opinion seems to gain ground that Democracy is sustaining itself in most counties of the State from which there is any report.

Since the above was in type, we learn from Parke that Gen. Steele, (Whig) is elected to the Legislature—the whole Whig ticket of the county is elected—and that Simpson (Whig) is elected to the Senate from Parke and Vermillion.

The Pennsylvania Inquirer shows a brigh sky for Gen. Scott, and foretells the result as follows "The whole number of electora votes is 290—necessary to a choice 149.— The friends of Winfield Scott believe that he will certainly carry the following States— Vermont 5, Massachusetts 13, Rhode Island 4, Connecticut 6, New York 35, New Jersey 7, Pennsylvania 87, Delaware 3, Maryland 8, North Carolina 10, Ohio 23, Kentucky 12,

vote for each candidate for Vigo county in our paper to-day. Heretofore we have gen* eraily given the full report of elections with the vote of ^ach candidate in the several Townships. Yesterday, however, we were refuaed sight of, or access to, the official report in the Clerk'a office, for which we respectfully applied in the way of business. This we wero denied by the Clerk himself. But through other sources we have been able to get the true vote as cast for each candidate in the county, aa the same appears in another column.

An American traveler writes from Lon don in reference to the Presidency, as follows "I am satisfied that, in the preseut tate of Europe, notlil ng could be more auspicious for the increase of our moral influence than tba election of General Scott His military exploits are looked upon in Europe as among the greatest actions ef the age, and had he been a subject of France or England he would have bee* covered with honors and wealth, and, as Soult and Wellington,called to the direction oftho national destinies. Here, much as it is desired, it is hardly considered possible that such an illustrious man can be set aside by a discriminating people for General Pierce, as subordiBate in capacity as he is in reputation. Theelection of Scott will be esteemed a third declaration of independence of British domination, and his military energy will give to

Democratic pa

pers have been publishing the name of Gen. Cadwallader in the list of officers of the Mexican war, who they said, would vote for Gen. Pierce. No doubt they took it for granted that Gen C. would vote for Pierce because he has always voted hitherto with the Democratic party. But they are wrong for taking any such thing for granted. The last Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says of Geo. Cadwallader "That gentleman, and he is every inch a gentleman, for months past, declared publicly and privately that, he should vote for Gen. Scott's Electoral Ticket, and from a well grounded belief of the utter unfitness of Gen. Pierce for the office of President of the United States. No man probably knows Gen.

The French Go\*ernnient will then continue the line by land atitd own expense, to Ajaccio, and the narrowest point of the Straits of Bonifacio, where a cable fourteen ki'omesters in length will, at the expense of the company, establish a communication with Sardinia, which the Piedmontese Government will continue to Cogliari. M. Boneilli the author of this plan has proposed to the Submarine company to prolong the cable to Tunis, when France would conduct wires to Bougio and Algiers while England would conduct others to Tripoli, Alexandria. Cairo and Suez. By this means Algiers would be brought within a few seconds of Paris, and news from India might reach Lundou little mo^e than a week.

That this great privilege might be rendered more sacred and imposing, he desired that the ceremony might take place in the veuerated Hall of Independence, surrounded with all the glorious recollections which the place presented to the mind, and with the statue of the Father «f his country a mute, impressive witness to the scene.

When Mr. Pitt read to him that part of the declaration of intentions which required him to swear allegiance to the United States, and abandon all fealty to the King of Norway and Sweden, the violinist put his hand upon his own heart, and in the most impressive manner said, "I desire to be deemed worthy of so great a privilege, and I shall remit no efforts to merit it. I have never sworn allegiance to the King of Norway and Sweden, nor to any other Potentate, nor have I bowed the knee to any but my God." (pointing upwards, and his face beamiug with all that he felt within him.

THE GTTKATEUT LIVING CAPTAIN. The death of the Duke of Wellington, we have remarked, leaves General Winfield Scott, beyond all question, thegrea* test living Captain ot th© age. The comparison of the two veterans, even while both were on the scene of life, was not one from which the countrymen of Scott were disposed to shrink.^. The parallel was not wholly unequal,' The quick military sagacity and thorough training to the art of war, in command the sound head, practical diplomacy and ardent dovotion to the peace and pros* ieriiy of the country, which distinguish* them in council, are not unlike. And of their battles. If tho theatre of the ine was wider, the triumphs of the other, proportion to his theatre, w«re not ess briljiani.

ADVICS TO THE GIRLS.—Dr. Beeswax in his admirable 'Essay on Domestic Economy.' talks to the young ladies after this fashion: Girls, do you want to get married—and do you want good husbands. If so, cease to act like fools.— Don't take pride in saying you never did housework never cooked a pair of chickens never made a bed, and so on.— D«»n"t turn up your noses at honest industry—never tell your friend that you are not obliged to work. When you go shopping never take your mother to carry the bundle. Don't be afraid to be seen in the kitchen cooking steak or over the wash-tub, cleaning family duds.'

Religions Festivals iu Mexico.

A correspondent of the Havana Diario de la Marina, writing from the city of Mexico, under a recent date observes "We have had,during the last month, several

very

imposing church ceremo

nies. The best attended of these have been the malino, which took place at the( cathedral on the night of the 5ih, at the church of Sanm Domingo on ihe I2ih, and at Santa Clara on the 20ih. The adornments of ihe churches were sumptuous, and rivalled one another in eiegatice, richness and beauty. The altars pillats and columns wero all covered with crimson velvet. The square and neighborhood of all these churches, on those nights, were real Babylons the solemn peals of tho bells, the hissing of brilliant rockets, the noise and talk, and laughter and josting of the goers and comers, the crowds of sweetmeat venders, the brilliant illumination of the exterior of the buildings, the myriades of little lambs, emitting as much light as smoke, and as much smoke as light, presented a most lively and charming spectacle. The interioi sof the churches were crowded wiih persons whose countenances and deportment were marked by that solemn gravity becoming in so sacred a spot. Mexican custom requires that the women going to church should wear the tapolas or large handkerchief which covers half their heads, and concea's not only half their faces, bat also their figures. What a a pity it is they do not wear the elegant Spanish Mantilla.

I'he jug is a most singular utensil. A pail, tumbler, or decanter, can be rinsed and you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that it is clean—but the jug lias bm a little hole in the top, and the interior is all darkness. No eye penetrates it, no hand moves over the surface.— You can clean it only by shaking it up, and pouring it out. If the waier comes out clear, you judge you have succeeded in cleaning the jug, and vice versa.— Hence the jug is like the human heart. No mortal can look into its purity by what comes outolit.

CUBA.—Advices

PEOPLE.—The

eloquent Ogden Hoffman, in a speech to the "acres of Whigs" who assembled in the city of New York, to ratify the nomination of Scott and Graham, thus alluded to the arrest of General Scott in Mexico, by order of an administration that shrunk from the task of afterwards trying him. The issue is now made up, and the scar-covered defendant "puts himself upon the coumry" for trial by the people: "Many a time, I thought that justice would be done to the venerable soldier and, notwithstanding my weariness, 1 would speak for hours upon a subject so pleasing to my feelings. I remember when 1 was a member of Congress, when he was about to leave his family for an inhospitable climate, it was there I first knew Winfield Scott. He was a Whig all over, and his companions were Clay and Crittenden and other true Whigs.— He then went to war and let American history blush for the fact! Rome gave a triumph to the victorious citizen. England, for less than half the duty Scott performed, has made a Duke. Scott was recalled by the administration. He bowed to the edict, returned home with but one faiihful servant, (and he was an Irishman,) and the first place he entered was the little village church, where, forgetting all bis victories, he fetvently returned thanks to the Divine Creator, for his bounties. I say Scott has been most unjustly treated he was arrested and never tried. W] fyviH ifj bint next November."

Two passengers, probably ot this class, were taken out of the Cornelia, by the author ities. Her letters and papers were also seized.

SNAKE STORY.—The

Mobile Tri

bune tells a story about a smalt green snake which was discovered about two years ago on the grape arbor of one of the most respectable citizens of that ancient burg. Not being molested, snaky thrived and grew apace, and at present is of quite a respectable length, and perfectly domesticated, recognizing any of the family, and allowing itself to be caressed by them. But let a stranger approach it and at once it manifests dis pleasure, and will allow no familiarity.— The editor of the Tribune says this is every word true, and suggests as the cause of its docility and civilization the soothing influence of the jutce of the grape, and its superiority over the "ardent," as instanced in the native of wine growing countries., nf, •W
