ANTICIPATED INDIAN HosTlLITrEs.-
We find in the Nashville Banner ofthe 22d
instant, on interesting correspondence be-
tween Maj. General GAINES and Governor
CANNON of Tennessee, respecting the
medtated hostile movements Of the Chero-
kec and other indian tribes on the Western
Frontier, some general notice Of which was
published 10 this paper few Gays ago. -
We publish below Gen. Gaines's letter to
Governor C. which discloses the charac.
ter of the supposed hostile movement, and
the disastrous effects which,in the Generals
opinion, must arise from it to the frontier
settlements, unless the measures he indi
Gates are promptly taken to prevent them.
We cannot but hope, however, with the
editor of the Banner, that the objec: Of the
Indians in holding the council has been
misconcelved. and that no hostile designs
are entertained by them. They may have
been called together by the Cherokecs to
take into consideration matters Of business
affecting their mutual interests.

FRIDAY MoRNIN SEPTEMBER Z.
THE ELECTION.

By means of special messengers, we re.
ceived returns from every town in this
county eforc twelve o'clock Tuesday night,
and the result was published on Wednesday
morning. We to day communicate oil the
additional information we have been ena
bled 10 obtain.
The result shows OLD Chttcnden county
still erect. We have elected ten Wings
to Guc Van Buren, men to The House, one
Senator. and perhaps two, and given our
state ticket about the same majority as last
wear. Bv means Of split tickets, enough
votes have been diverted from Mr. Pomeroy
TO render il doubtful whether he or Mr..
Cbittenden has succeeded. Taking the
vote of Mansfield as recorded last year.
Mr. Pomeroy would be elected by ma.
iori,y of four votes. The actual result,
however, can hardly be known, TIL the
official canvass.
In this town, we have, as usual given the
wing ticket handsome majority. through
out-for Governor 80, Senators 81, Con-
cress ~, and for town representative, Mr.
Bradley received majority Of SO votesover
Mr.. Lyman, the regular Van Buren, cand''
date, and majority Of nine over the three
candidates brough. out iu opposition to him
This result, taken in connection with The
circumstance that the aggregate vote is
now thirty or forty less than last year.
proves that old Burlington is steadfass and
immovable-God bless her.

THE ELEcTIoNs.-In two months from
this time our elections will be upon US.
Are we, as a party, prepared Are we so
organized as to ensure success, it honest
efforts and sincere devotion TO the cause
can ensure IT. Our adversaries-it cannot
be too often repeated-aro sleepless and
untlring; and they are as boastfu as though
they had never been beaten. In this pro.
ceeding they calculate upon the moral inhu
ence which a confident tone and an assured
countenance are so apt to produce upon
the wavering and the timid, and we have
had occasion. within few days 10 perceive
that this cid artifice has not been without
effect upon some Of our own friends. In
so far os this may lead them to increased
and more resolute activity and efforts, we
are glad TO find this result produced but
as matter OF fact, which is to dispirit ex-
ertion or discourage hope, it must not for a
moment be yielded to. We entertain not
particle of doubt, that the State will be
Wing by a large majority. We entertain
as little, that the city will be ours-as now
it is if only the, Wings do their duty in
voting, and take due care that others, not
qualified, do not neutrajze legal votes.
The game, then, is in our own hands; we
can beat If we aDitt-and if we do not, we
shall be justly deemed by our fellow-coun-
try.men, dellnquents TO our most sacred
trust and highest earthly du,ies.-N Y.

FOURTH DISTRICT.

The result OF the Congressional election
in this District remains doubtful We
think there is no choice. According to
present calculations, Mr.. Smith falls about
one hundred and fifty short of a majority.
This may be brought up in the towns not
heard from but the chances are, that the
scattering votes, which are never collected
In the first reports, will increase rather than
diminish the majority against Mr.. Smith

election. The result has been that, in
many towns, where the Loco focos had
made preparations to dispute tho election
of Representatives they were alarmed al
the strong appearance of the Wings, and
made no opposition. Such was the case in
Warwick, in Smithfeld, and in Johnston.
There have been some few changes-the
