 The news from Williamson, Sumner, Will son, Giles and Bedford is more cheeling- All the precincts in Williamson, except four, 1 heard from, which show gain for Brown thus far of more than 2D0. Of Simmer, the Union says: 'sWe have just learned that Brown is gaining in every precinct. From Robertson we learn that the vote was the same as last year.o Browa's eajn in H5- son over the vote for Clay is 279 Browns gain in Giles is 91. Fosters gain in Aau- " S7 votes.

 The Jeilersonian of this morning contains several Mexican documents of some imp0r- tance, among which Is q circular from Garcia Conde, minister of war and marine, announ- cing that the Mexican Government had re- solved upon a declaration of War against the United States, and that the said declaration of war twill be communicated 10 the MeXi- can Congress to-morroW,o (jHly Iz) This Is an official annuuication--W now exists between the two nations-at least prudent government, after the publication of the circu- lar of the Mexican secretary, would act as ii 1t looked upon war as inevitable, and take measures Tn conformity to that decision
 
 lis singular that these Mexican documents were so long kept from the public eve. TIa Rclampago was reported 10 be at the mouth of the river on Sunday last, and here is Thurs day morning before this important ntelli- gence, brought by her, finds place in newspaper Of the city. The Ieaersoniaa says-t.it was not until late hour yesterday that we received the letter, an extract from which follows, containing tie official com munications. The letter is from friend and correspondent at Vera Cruz sc, Sc.

 Great as has been the inc case of supnIv especially of the present as compared win the last year, the sugar trade has not been in better state for several years and we see, from last Fridays Gazette, that inc nrice of British plantation sugar, is 2s. 2d ne, cwt, higher than it was this time last year notwithstanding an increased importation of fifty per cent. So far, the relaxation of inc sugar duties has certainly done no harm ,o the West and East India planters, who have now every prospect of enjoying the double advantages of large crops and good prices Part of the credit of this favorable state of things is due to the reduction of the exfrav- gant duty on British plantation suoar. made during the present session, but more of f to the general prosperity of the country. which glves the laboring classes the power of pur- chasing luxuries which are beyond their reach m bad times. Iis also worthy of no- ilce, that the timber trade, which was said to nave been ruined by the relaxation of the pro- teetiye duties, has seldom been in better state than it is at present. The prosperous state of most branches of manufactures eau ses greatly increased demand for it, for the erection ol mills, cottages, and dwelling holl- ses, aud renders prices fully rcmuneratng.

 Much gloom hangs over that region of country, in consequence of the crops beino blasted by the scorehing sun and alarming drought.

We fear much distress and sickness will follow this extraordinary drought On Saturday and Sunday, we were tanialized by a prospect ol showers but in vain, Yesterday the heat was as oppressive as ever; though we are glad to have to record no death from the im- mediate action of the sun-which. in the the North, according to the papers from that section, has carried of so many, suddenly to the grave"

Ne have every reason 10 believe, notWith- standing the intrigues of the whigs, and the secession of portion of our friends, that the regularly nominated ticket will succeed by large majority. There was no Whig candidate for Goremor-the contest being between Terry and Martin-both democrats The latter being the disaflected, of course re- ceiyed the support, generally, of the whigs. We extract the following from the New Or leans Courier, of the Slh inst.

 There was no whig candidate for Govern or, the contest being between N. Terry and J. L. Martin, both democrats-but the whios in general voted for Martin The Tribune says the vote for Martin was not so large as expected, and intimates that If the election in the rest of the State has resulted as it did at Mobile, he will be left far behind.
 The vote for Congress Is as follows:
