THE AUGUST ELECTIONS.

NORTH CARoLINA.-The Wings have lost one
Representative in Congress from this State and in
KENTUCKY il is reported that they have gained hco.
We shall publish complete list of the members
from both States soon as the result is certainly
known.
ISDIANA.-'rhe Congressional districts are moi
all heard from, but sufficient is known to authorize
the annunciation Of the following as the names OF
the Members elect CALEB b. SMITH and EDWARD
w. McGAUoHEy, Wings; X. ID. OWEN, Il. ].
HENLEY, THos. SMITH, w. W. Wick, J. w. DA-
Wis, JOHN PETIT, G. w. CATHcART, and A. KEN
NEDv; being two Wings and eight Democrats, the
same as in last Congress. AS to the Legislature, il
IS probable that the Senate may. be tied, but the
chances are that there will be Democratic MAORI
ty OF two. The House will be decidedly Demo-
cratic.
TENNEssEE.-The Nashville papers give few
returns, which are not very favorable to the Wings.
Davidson county gave Wing gain Of some 20 votes
over the last Presidential vote Robertson, same as
last year; Wilson, loss of 270 Rutherford, loss
OF 30; Bedford, loss Of so; Williamson, loss of
400 to 300; Sumner, gain II Giles, loss Of "a !;
| Maury, gain 81. Messrs. PEYToN and GENTRY
are elected to Congress. The Nashville Wing saws !:
".Thus far the news is decidedly unfavorable to
the Wings. Mr.. Clay's majority over Mr.. Polk
IN the whole State was only ID votes Mr.. Fos-
ter has already fallen behind Mr.. Clay's majority
five or six hundred votes, and should the returns
from few more counties continue to exhibit cor
responding loss on the part of the Wings the gene
raj result will prove unfavorabe for them beyond
a doubt"
| ALABAMA.-It is rendered pretty certain that the
Wings have lost Member Of Congress in the
Mobile District and gained Member in the Mont
gomery District, that the political complexion O.
the Delegation will be the same as in the last Con
gress. The members elect are believed to be the
following: HENRY w. HlLLARD, Wing EDwARr
$. DARGAN, VIM. L. YANcEY, VIM. w. PAYNE
GEO. s. HousToN, REUBEN CHAPMAN, and FELIX
G. MCDONNELL, Democrats. The Legislature large
| ly Democratic, of course. The Nashville Wing
states that the returns from North Alabama render
exceedingly doubtful the election of the regular
| Democratic nominee for Governor
i MIssoURI.-The election in Missouri was for
members of Convention to remodel the State
Constitution, and not for State Legislature.

Condos dispatches is, that war is VERY PROBABLE,
there being no evidence that il has yet been de-
clared. The Senor's proclamation is dated on the
10th, and he says that the next day Q7th) the de-
claration of war would be communicated to Con-
gress. The Bee, whose dates are to the evening Of
the 10Th, says that up to that time neither war nor
non-intercourse had been declared nor had the Ex-
raordinary Council, summoned undoubtedly with
express reference to the war question, yet assem-
bled. II is apparent, then. that Senior Condo, on
the 18th, could not have been authorized to say
that the Government had resolved upon declara-
ton OF war, when on the 9th three days after, the
question was undecided
The brig Persian, which had been lying off Gal
weston for the purpose Of carrying the intelligence
to Vera Cruz of the ratification of the Annexation
Resolution by the Texan Convention, had not ar
rived when the Relampago sailed.
The Republican states that all the Mexican yes
sells in the port of New Orleans had obtained clear
ance, except the Relampago, which awaited the
pleasure Of Mr., Arangoea, the Mexican Consul.
That gentleman, il was said, had closed his official
relations with this country, and would sail on TIE
9th instant.
The Bee also contains scrap of news by a
schooner from Tabasco. On the 18th of July there
was counter revolution in favor of the Govern
mentinthe Department OF Tabasco, headed by Com
modore Thomas Marin, who, with only eighty
troops, succeeded in deposing General Ignatio
Martinez, who was in command of the insurgents

The Value OF Dictionaries.


Time was whsa Dictionaries could hardly be
found in our families. They were for the most part
owned by learned men, ard by them only. Bnt they
are now, and most justly, regarded by many as a
most important part OF household furniture. Some
nave said that if they could possess but one work
besides the Bible, ii should be a good English Die
iionary. The assertion is not strange, wbea The In
huence of work OF this kind is duly considered
Oftne worth of this innence she following upecdote
may serve an iliusration.
An aged individual. in a remote part Of New-Eng-
land, whsFe not only no s,aes-coach, bur no stage
road or turnpike, or ost-office-bardly a school
house-had ever appeared, was remarkable for his
correct use Of words, which some ascri5ed 10 a Pc
cuiar aptners or GIT, but others TO his great con
mon sense. Onilquiry it turned oul that HE 'gff'
and common sense F." were both the work Of d Die
tionary.

had laughtms 10 read a liitle When met, ia read
iuy or in conversation, with difficult word, con-
suited my Dictionary; and what it told me / "a

rents in our land OF the importance OF giving theis
children access 10 Dictionary. Nor TO some mis-
cradle abridgemeni, whose very definitions need TO
be defined over sgain, and when sought out are still
as unintclligibie before; bar 10 good standard
work. Websters is we believe, universally regard
ed as the best.
The cost OF this work, while in the qua:'o form,
was deemed an objection to its extensive use Bat
this objection is now obviatei. In the octave form
it is much cheaper than before, even though several
thousand words we're added 10 il by the learned aG-
thor. ATorerscently STILL Msssrs. G. Il c. derriam
