 T We would call the attention of our readers, both i this town and elsewhere in the county, but parc- uiarIy in this town, the advertisement in following column ot the committee for locating the High School. II our citizens feel that interest in the establishment ofthe School which they ought, and desirOus that ii should be located in this place, it is time they should bes.ir hemseves. Liichfeld undoubtedly has many advantages which no other towuin the county can possess It is hgll-h is healthy-t is central it is easy of access from all partss society intelli gent and moral:-Here concentrate all our lines of stagcs-here meet al. our Courts-here meet most of our County Associatons-and here with proper dili- gehce, and suitable beraly the part of the weal- ahy portion of community may be located the con- templated School for the County. We have lands suitable within mile of our charches-we have wa. ter privileges sufficient for all the purposes necessary to erect the machinery which may be wanted for the lnstitoton--and we trust have public spirit and libera,y enough to hold such inducements to the committee as will prevail upon them 10 locate the School among in preference to any other par. of the county.
 Char!eston ElectiOn.-The contest at the election held in Charleston, c. the 10th and llth inst. for Representative to the Legislature, in place of Win. Akin. Esq. terminated in favor of the Ratification party by . majority of sigh votes. 1854 votes were given for the successful candidate, M. l. Keith, and lS46 for John Robinson, of the Union pary-the lar- gess vote which has been given for long time. Las, fall the Union party succeeded; but at the election for Insendent of the city few weeks ago, the Null carried n him and the whole of their city officers by much larger majority than the present one.
 ln Georgia, an election for Governor and members of the legislature has lately been held-and close contest was had between the Clark and Troup or Crawford parties. The parties still go by these names although Clark removed from the state to Florida se- veral years since. The incumbent (Gilmer) was the candidate of she Crawford party, and Wilson Lump. Kin, Member of Congress, of the other party. Each one has received nearly equal number of votes in the counties heard from, though believed Mr. L. is elected; and there is doubt of there being small majority of his friends elected to the legislature Wha, gives additional interest the election s the crcum. stance that Mr Lumpkin is the political friend Of Mr. Calhoun, while Gov. Glmer is the partisan of Gen. Jackson.
 lH Nesc-Jersey, from accounts which most depen- dance appears to be placed, the Jackson and Clay parties n each branch of the legislature are precisely 6aianced. The Council tor Sena,s) is composed of IA members, and the Representatives of 50. There of each of the former elected and g of each of the latter, though of the Jackson party pretend aO count 26 for their side. Should there on meeting prove to be tis, .hs probability is that Gov. vroom wi continue to hold his office. Last year the Jack sonians had majority of % joint ballot in the e- gisla,ure.
 Vevmons.-The people ofthis state having failed to elect either Governor or Lieut.. Governor at ihe late election, the Legislature the third day of the sion, which commenced the 18th instant, proceed- ed to the choice. On the 9th balIo William A. Pal msr, the ant-masonic candidate, was elected by a majority one uote. Lebbeus Edgerion, ant-masonic alsO. then elected Lieut.. Governor by inc same vote. All branches Of the government there Eose ant-masonic in that state. ~
