Our intelligent and valuable correspondent, ''South Alabama," in a recent number of his practical es
 says on agricultural improvements, (orcibl, illustrates the value of vegetable oils, amongst which he class es, as of first rate importance, that of pumpkin Sesd. We aude to tbIs merely for the purpose of men
 tioning in connection with ihe subject instance Of the extraordinary pro6cness of this vine In a garden in this vicinity, the writer counted day or two since twenty six full grown and six small pump kin. on one vine; two large ones had previously been pulled, making total sf thirty four, the az gregale weight ot which Ca large proportion of them being round and nearly the size ofa peck measure, ) was probably not much short, if any, of 400 pounds
 The vine came up spontaneously (what is called il voIunteer) amongst cabbage, and received neuher manure or hoeing. Although similar instance o
 product has never come under observation, il is possible that il may be "no great shakes" in the rich lands of the interior. Can any one tell, for il
 is ofen subject of remark, why it is that volunteer vines are almost invariably more prolific than those regularly planted? There may be secret in the preservation of the seed worth knowing.

 Tie accounts from Mexico which we copy from the Ncw-Oreans Republican, look warke That feeble power, with degree of folly winch borders 7 upon fatu,y, appears to be really determined upon paper war at least, with ihc United States. ProcIa- nations charged with all the thunder of Mexican braggadocio, are to be launched at us. Ifbuetins were ss dangerous as huIeu, might begin to be startled at what is coming. But swelling words are even more harmless than blank cartridges, and the bombastic threats of the Mexican authorities sga,nst the United States, conrasted with be ieebleness of the Mex ican character and their national impotence provokes a feeling of the ludcrous.

Ihe Congressional returns from this district are not complete, but enough is known to make it cer. tain that EDWARD s. DARGAN, the democratic candidate, is elected 10 Congress WM. b. DUNN, whig, by a considerable majority. IL will be not much less than FOUR HUNDRED and may be much larger. If little Clarke does all she can do, the majority will be five hundred. Our candidate
 is elected without the vote of Mobile, nowithstand- ing the dolefu complaints of contemporary that Mobile "did the deed." Ths IS a very cratif, ing victory. It is the frs, time democrat has been elected in tho district and the first time since the division of parties, that the counties composing the district have ever given democratic majority. They gave 1900 for Harrison in lS40, larger majority for the whig Congress ticket in ls4I, elected Mir. Dellet in 1913, and gave Mir. Clay majority of $50 in lS44. Slowly but steadily the democratic parry has been gaining upon its adversarles, and the day of triumph has come.
 To the energy, perseverance and talents of Judge DA AHoAN, the successful candidate, the party owes strong debt of gratitude for the accomplishment of this noble result. He has won the rewards of suc- cess by good work well done, and has fixed his po- stion strong in the affections and confidence of the democracy, whom he has led 10 this great triumph.

disturb the operations of business, and perver the
spirit of the people. Under the influence of these
convictions, other States are forming or amending
their constitutions, to impose strong restric-
tions entire prohibitions, upon chartered incor-

around her people, in the constitution which she is
now forming. To curb the monstrous abuses
which the wing legislature Of Ohio has introduced,
will become of the first duties of the new editor

him, at the sumo time, to cultivate the utmost har-
mony in the republican party that is consistent with
the purity and sternness of its principles. Lit

The Illinois estate Register" Of the 25th ult has
gotation now understood to be pending between the
United States and Great Britain on the Oregon ques-
on Other queries have been addressed to us by other
journals on the same subject. We answer frankly,
and in the same respectful" spirit in which the
State Register has spoken to us, that all negota-
tons between nations, during their tendency have
at all times been confined to the parties conducting
them. In reference to the Oregon question, as must
be the in all negotiations, the President and his
constitutional advisers the only persons who can
know what is transporting. Why, then, call on the
"Union" declare what has been done, or ,chat ,ou
be done, on this subject At the meeting Of Con-
gress, the President will doubtless lay before them
all that has occurred, or may occur, as far as the
same can be properly communicated, compatbly
confidently assure the "Register," and all others
who have been pleased to PROFOUND these questions
to us; and that is that the administration will firmly
assert and maintain all rights to the Oregon ter
rtory, and that they will preserve and uphold the
sacred honor of their country.
The Register" also refers to the proceedings of
public meeting which was held at Springfield, in the
State Of Illinois, some six weeks ago, which we
were requested to publish, but which have not yet
appeared in the ''Union." But we did publish,
and without a moments delay, the proceed
inss of the great mass meeting held on the 4th
July, at Marion, which was attended by more than
hve thousand people, from eighteen counties of the
State, land they Of as strong character, proba-
ably as those of Sprngfeld). And permit us now
to say, that it wish to copy into our paper
the proceedings Of the meeting at Springfield at the
time they were received at Office; but they came
upon us at time when there was great pressure
upon our columns, and their omission did not arise
from any intention our part to treat the meeting
at Springfield with the slightest dsrespect. We
have mislaid the paper which contained them; and
we can only assure the Register" that if 1t will
favor US with another copy of them, we will repub-
l'sh its proceedings ,oith the greatest pleasure.

FROM PERU.
A letter from Callao of the 10Th May, says

n ICttCT ITOul Suiido VI TIC ~UtH way, says
'The English are at oggerheads with the Peru
vians. Some time since, during the revolution,
while Castillo, the present President, was fighting
for the presidential chair, of his generals enter
ed the house of the English consul at Arica while
the English flag was flying it, and took pris-
oner who had taken refuge under the flag. The same
man also prevented the English steamer from water
ing at that port For these improprieties, the Eng
lish, now that the government is established, de-
mand of Castillo that he forthwith discharge and
disgrace the general under whose orders the outrage
at africa was perpetrated.
sThis he cannot or will not do, as the man is
one of his frmest and most faithful generals. The
English demand his dismissal from the army, and
large sum as damages or they will blockade every
port in Peru. They have large force anchored
near us--one seventy-four, (he Collingwood, fine
new ship,) with the admiral, Sir Geo. Seymour
a frigae, sloop, and fine war steamer. They
have armed all their boats for blockade duty, and
will certainly blockade if the President does not
comply.
"-fhe Peruvans have armed all their gun-boats,
and two thousand men of the line were marched
down from Lima last night, to garrison the fortif-
cations of Calao and Bellevista. Congress has for
the last two days been in secret session. What the
result will be, it 10 for them to decide"

We have received the first two or three numbers
of the "0hio Statesman" since il came under the

witness TO the ability and vigor with which il is
conducted and the purity of the principles which it
maintains. Mr. II. occupies an important position.
Taking the place of his distinguished predecessor,
the strong champion ofrepubcan principles in Ohio,
he has every motive to exert all his energies to equa
Col. Medary; but he has made an suspicious COM
mencement, and bids fair to prove himself worthy
successor to the editorial chair of the "Ohio States

thrown into temporary minority; but, if Mr.. Haze

be the more strongly melted, by this very circum-
