FROM the HAMBURG 70. Vi hepubncan
Hon. JOHN c. CALHouN.--It is indeed crafty
to witness the display of feeling towards this dstn
gushed patriot, as he is on his way to the Memphis
convention. We notice, through our exchanges,
that he has been waited upon and invited to public
dinners, in different towns and villages; all of which
he has declined for want Of time. In New Orleans
the city authorities had addressed him letter. tend
crng the inequalities ofthc city, and had procured
rooms for bis reception and entertainment at one OF
the principal hotels Of the place. In fact wherever
he goes, there seems to be but one fceling--cvery
man appears to vie with his neighbor in paying hon.
ors to an honest man. These late manifestations OF
respect for Mr.. Calhoun, connected with what has
been recently put forth by the press in relation "a
his taking seat in the United States Senate, may
be considered fair tribute to worth, and clearly
showsthat, whatever may be said during the heat
Of party strife, Mr.. Calhoun occupies an exalted
station in the minds of the American people, tina!
when calm and dispassionatc reason can have sway
and the people be Ief IN an unbiased judgment, that
"ruth will prevail, !" and worth receive its reward
II is indeed pleasant task fer ono TO cast their
minds back for thirty years, and see amidst the
gloom Of party strife, green spot on which the
eye can rest; but how much more pleasant il is, for
us, when we behold that green spot springing from
our own seed and soil.
We are not given TO man-worship, or prone to
bend the spregnant hinges of the knee" to Office or
mere station; but when we meet such instances as
the one before us, do feel desire to place virtue
and patriotism in proper position before our read
ers, so that the young and rising statesmen of our
country may be induced to contemplate the beacon
get before them, and 60 and do likewise. There
nny be a halo Of glory surrounding the names of
many of our great men; but there is moral inhu-
ence in the name of John C. Calhoun, that COM
mands the admiration Of all who know his life and
character.

~ NAVAL


The United States storc-ship Lexington, Lieut..
Commanding F. B. Ellison, sailed on Sunday last
for Vera Cruz, with provisions for the squadron.
Passengers: Lieutenants r.. Semmes, jr., K. r.
Thompson, and F. B. Renshaw, Of the United States
navy; and Lieut.. r. c. Caldwell, of marines; these
officers are to report to Commodore Conner for duty
on board different vessels of his squadron.
The United States steamship Princeton, Com
mander Frederick Engle, arrived on Monday, Sd
inst, from Vera Cruz, having had passage Of nine
days, including about dsythat she lay of the South.
west Pass, whence the bearer Of dispatches, Mr..
Parrott, was conveyed, by steamboat to New Or
leans The Princeton, as coniectured, has been de-
layed on her passage on account Of fuel II appears
that she had taken on board bituminous coal having
at the time but a small quantity Of anthracite,
which il the legitimate coal for furnaces constructed
as hers are. The wind WINS blowing dead ahead,
and the dense suffocating smoke from the short fun
mel Of the steamer made the Oldest seamen deadly
sick, and il was necessary at times to keep her of
her course that the smoke might be partially blown
out Of the ship.
We are informed by an officer that the Mexican
government have signhed disposition to receive a
minister from our government and forthwith pro-
coed TO an adjustment Of all difficulties at present
existing between the two republics. The general
impression among native and foreign residents Of
Mexico is, that the French minister has conducted
himselfi in very discourteous manner towards that
government and that he alone was to blame for
any Misunderstanding which has arisen, or hcrcaf-
ter may take place, with the French government.

FLoRIpA ELEcTIoN.--Wc are in the receipt Of

Two or three counties were to be heard from Off

MIR. Cabc was 81 votes ahead; the polls Of the
southern counties had not been received; and the

Brockcnbrough 80 majority, while the wings think
they will not give him than 40 or As; that the
'return day. had passed, but the governor was not
in town to receive and act on the certificates. We
take it for granted that Mr.. Cabell will not avail
himself of any informay, but will take or surrender
the seat according TO the real majority Of the popu-
lar vote. The ''Star Of Florida of November 9Th
says that sthc report from democratic unofficial
sources is, that Mr.. Brockenbrough ia more than 80

FROM VERA CRUZ.
Thirteen days later from he city Of Merico.

f"HHe" u"ys '"tD J'oW "se Guy " 9ueItco'
BY the arrival Of the Creole, Dasache master,
from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 18th ut,
we have full files from the city of Mexico TO the
25th Octobcr-thrteen days later than we received
by the Mississippi and Princeton.
Among the passengers by the Creole are the wife
aad daughter of the brave but unfortunate Gen. Me-
jia. 1t will DO recoected that Gen. M. was shot
near Puebla by order Of Santa Ana.
We learn verbally that the general impression al
Vera Cruz, when the Creole sailed, was, that all
difficulties between the United States and Mexico
were in fair way TO be amicably settled. 1t may
be that Mexico may yet desire the interference Of
our government to help her out Of her difficulties
with France, and perhaps with England: stranger
things have occurred.
The master of the Creole reports that, when he
sailed from Vera Cruz, the United States squadron
had taken its departure.

MICHIGAN.

The Detroit "Frec Press" of the 18th inst. says
that ''the majority Of Alpheus Felch and William
l.. Greenly, the democratic candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor, cannot fall short of three
thousand votes which is truly large majority,
considering the smallness of the vote polIed, and
the apathy which always attends the successful
party Immediately after an animated. presidential
contest.

try more than do the good or i'll will of those who
may happen 10 differ from me in opinion. One o,
the greatest advantages Of good sailing stca,nc,

patches. The superiority of the "Mississippi' was
proven the other day in her trip from Vera Cruz te
Pensacola; and she will continue superior to any
other steamer IN our navy at present.

ship Cahoa, appears in the papers Of to-day in q

much esteemed and respected by all who knew
