pects qf the C0HlpGiQn.- Governor Call iS still at Fort Drane, encamped there ready to take advantage of any mis-movements of the In- olans. The campaign promises to be prose- cuted with vigor. The Pensacola Gazette says Dy this time there are assembled on the oaWanee and Withlacoochee, 1900 Tennes- see ~VoAunteers,- 500 regulars who have been serving m the Creek country, the regular troops left there by Gen. Scott, amounting perhaps to, 300 or 400 effective men, 0OO friendly Greeks and the FIoriis militia and volunteers, perhaps 300 more, making in alI upwards of 5000. Gen.

 Withlacoochee swamps and hammocks.- Several fine steamboats have been lately pur- chased or hired for the campaign. Three of them have touched at Pensacola on their way east, within the last week. In addition to all this, Com. Dallas, by means of the Cut terS under his command, as well as by the sending of some of the larger vessels of the squadron to lie in the harbors of the peninsu- la, and by despatching to the scene ofwar the marines of the squadron under Lieut.. Wal dron, will render efficient service along the coast. So that there appears to be no hole left for OSeola to creep out at. we fear, however, that he will find hole.

 HoN. BELLAMY SroRER-The Cincinnati
 Whig of Thursday last, in speaking of the election in that county, says, "Let it be re- membered that MT. Storer's present uote IS Iarger thae acGs before. thus showing beyond all question that the confidence of his con- stituents in him remains undiminished. This must be to him highly consolatory. The vote given this year is about 1900 larger than it was at the election of 1884, and in this ncreas- ed vote we find the principal cause of our de- feat. u .S5
 The editor ofthe Whig in the same article remarks. |" "Recollect, fellow citizens, that on the 4th of next month, OLD TIPPEcANoE takes the field himself. When old Tippccahoe himself leads us to the conflict, it will be an easy task to sweep away the meagre majority by which our opponents now walk over US then we shall be much mistaken, if the two armies do not REVERSE their present position. It should be remembered. however, that this has heretofore always been one of the strong est Jackson counties in the State, we ought not, in reality, to be surprised at our present defeat.

He said that some oficious and corrupt men, principally office holders, had attempted to make it appear that he was perverting high functions to electioneer for Van Buren H acas false, and he defied any one to prove it. He said he was friendly to Van Buren, but that Van Buren had been we'll rewarded, and he (Jackson) would not urge his claims against hose of a brave and an honest defender of his country's rights. Harrison's services, said he, are immense, and they merit reacard."
