VINCKNNKS) September 13, 1828.

The Indiana Journal of the 4th inst says ts The last account received from the first Congressional District in this state, & which it is believed, may be regarded as certain gives Boon a majority of 70 or 80 votes oer Blake. So that Boon is certainly elected." The Indianapolis Gazette, of the same date, says 41 We have at length seen an official return of tho votes given for Representative to Congress, in the first Congressional Dis trict. Ratliff Boon is elected by a majority of 77 votes." So far as I have seen returns from the office ot the secretary of state, they agree with the statement published by me on the 23d ult. should there be any errors in my table then published, they shall be corrected. The Indiana Journal, of the 4th inst. says 11 It is not known here, as yet, who is elected Lieut. Governor. But the general im pression is, that gen. Stapp has succeeded ; he having near 300 of a majority, Sc only five or six small counties to be heard from." Should the general be elected, (which is Very probable) a number of his friends and supporters in this quarter, will expect him to redeem his pledge, by publishing in some newspaper, that his election is no test of par tics. Hundreds of Jackson men suppottcc!

"Great exertions were made by Jackson men" " against Mr. Blake" " whose active and energetic de fence of the Administration, on all occasions, had excited against him the enmity of the opposition." The editor of the Journal in the above article has omitted the woul 4 Cause,1 it is important, and should be corrected. .

Mrs Garrett was a na live of N.York and for the last sixty years had been a resident of Sumter District. Navigation of the U:fier Mississippi Until the year 1822, it was thought impossible for any steam boat to ascend the river above the rapids ; but during that year, to the astonishment of thousands, the steam boat Virginia ascended the river to St. Peters and re turned And now there are as many as eight or ten steam boats engaged in tlic Up per Mississippi trade.

Should six years to come, produce as great

changes as the past, we may very rationally expect to see stenrn boats running freely from

the great Mississippi to the lakes through the

Ouisconsin and Fox rivers. Miners' Juur. MEXICO. The editor ot the Florida Ar

pus has received from a friend onboard the

United S'a cs schooner Shark, the following interesting intelligence. " Every part of the Mexican republic was in tranquility, and the government appeared much stronger since the expulsion of general Bravo and others, and to feel more confidence in its strength. The apprehension of a visit from com. Laborde had gradually died away, and with it some of the severe measures tak en against the old Spaniards on the sea coast were relaxed. A few had been permitted to return to Tampico for the purpose of settling their afTiirs. and embarking for Europe. Feelings of hospitality towaids the old Spaniards had rather increased, and were not materially changed even when the invasion of Laborde seemed to have been given up The stte governments were extremely opposed Spaniards remaining in the country, and con tinuallv denouncing to the general govern ment obnoxious individuals, and requesting their expulsion These latter openly avow "their opinion that thev were persecuted and expelled through foreign influence ; and they in consequence, exert every art to prejudice the Mcvicans against foreigners, by mistatc rnents of everv kind An attempt had bren made by one or two of the state governments to levy a municipal tax or flutv on foreign goods, which had cau srd some excitement pmong the importers. These measures re disaooroved of by the extraordinary congress now aittirct and they

had notified the states that such act on their part was unconstitutional, and must be rescinded. The state of Falisco, i. e. Guadalaxara, had been most forward in these measures, & was followed by San Luis de Potosi. They had already talked and written much againsforeign importations, and in favor of their domestic manufactures. They affect to believe Mexico can supply within hereself all her own wants. Our minister, Mr. Poinsett, will probably conclude our commercial treaty. He continues to be highly esteemed and respected throughout the Mexican republic, and enjoys great influence in the capital. The Mexican government felt scmeanxic-

A valuable and extensive bed" of iron ore was discovered a few weeks ago, near the edge of township No, 12, of the town of Duane, in Franklin county, (N. J ) The Frank lin Telegraph, states, that the ore is of the kind denominated specular, inclining however, somewhat to che variety called Short ore, which is considered the best. " I live in Julia's eyes," said an affected dandy in Colman's hearing. I don't wor.d er at it," replied George, 4 since I observed she had a stye in them when I saw her last." Air of Ireland Lady Catcrit, wife ol the lord lieutenant of Ireland in Swift's time, said to him one day : " The air in this country is

very good. Swift fell on his knees and said,

wen Known tney can easily relieve their embarrassments by having recourse to thetunds of the monastic institutions, whose influence is much diminished every where. Should com Laborde make a descent on any part of Mexico, or even Central America, such a measure will be very injurious to the old Spaniards throughout the country. Their arrest, or the confiscation of their property, would prebably follow such an event. There seemed to be but little doubt that gen. Guerrero would be the next president.

The following account of a visit to an Indian village, on the 4th of Juiy last, is extracted from the Miner's Journal, published at Galena, Illinois. A party of about one hundred ladies and gentlemen, went on board the tteam boat Indiana, at 9 o'clock, a m, descended Fever river to its mouth, and ascrnded the Mississippi about 18 miles, to the Fox village at Dubuke's mines. Several guns wete 11 reel when within a mile of the town, and on the arrival of the steam boat, the ban!; of the river was lined with Indians to witness a novel sight ol the landing of a steam boat at their village, Tho whole party went on shore. The piincipal chief could not be seen. Wc were informed he was at a lodge, a little back of the village, dressing to receive his visitors, In a short time, however, he made his appearance, and greeted the gentlemen of the party with a " How -tc-too,"or a lk Bon-jour," t a hearty shake of the hand, and expressed himself highly pleased with our viit. lie knew it was the anniversary of American independence, nv, as expressed in their own way, the

TOR TI1K WEsTIUIN SUN. Reading an extract from a letter to a gentleman in this place dated Pate: son, (N J.) August 1 1th, which appeared in the Wabash Telegraph, of the 29th ult I was forcibly reminded of an anecdote that occurred at a country township election, during the canvass for the office ol governor of New Yuk, when Tompkins was the republican, and Vanransalier the federal candidate. While their respective mcri's wercf rccty canvassed, & the charge ol aristoctacy, ntide, heauteur, Ice. Sec. was heaped upon Vanransalier, bv some hot headed democrat, when an honest old Dutcl unan, in the simplicity of his heart, related the following :

LOST CHILT). ON the night of the I6ih ol February lair, myself and wife, 6c little daughter, (who was (our years old on the 10th ot November last) went to visit and stay all night with ray father-in law, being from my house a short halt mile distant. On Sunday morning the 1 7th ol February, we were for starting home eariy, with a view of pf preparing to go to a meeting that was to be held in the neighborhood that day. When we were about starting, my wife, addi essing the child, said to it, come Licuzaney, lets go home it seemed inclined not to go. Its grand-fatherjinterposing, said, let it stay so it was agreed it should stay. In a short time after, it started with some children that w ent nearly in a direction to my house, with a view it is thought of coming home: after getting a short distance, say 100 yards, the children directed her to go back; she started back, but has never since been seen or heard ot by us. In the course of ono half hour the alarm was given that the child was lost, and diligent search was immediately commenced; tor there was to be preaching at two places in the neighborhood that day, people was passing in every direction through the neighborhood to meeting, U. still, as they would hear the child was lost, set in to hunting, till the settlement, and finally, almost all the county, was engaged in hunting ; which search was continued day after day for nearly two weeks, without success, and till all hopes of finding it failed. The general belief is, that it must have perished with cold, as on the" night after it was lost, it commenced raining, and next morning it snowed, to which, if it was exposed, it must have perished with the cold this is my own opinion But still it i3 strange it could not be found. Believing that nothing is impossible with Him in whose hands are the issues of life i and hoping that if the child still lives, it may be the means of i's discovery, I have determined to solicit the publication of the circumstance in your paper.
