candidate, says the Floridian, William II.
Brockenbrough, is elected, His majority.
it is ascertained, Is certainly above so, and
is perhaps 100. The aggregate vote in
the State is several hundreds less than al
the May election. The democratic vote
is much less, and the whig vote is much
less. The true democratic majority in
this State is not less than 600, and we be-
lieve it will hereafter exceed 1000 votes
Over confidence of the democratic party
is chief cause Of The small ma orily Of its
candidate at this election. The wings ex-
ered themselves. Their candidate was
gentleman of popular and engaging ad-
dress and great eIectoneerng tact.

TmE MEmrnis CoNvBNmoN. This body
met last week. We have seen no account
Of It's proceedings We have before spo-
ken Of It's objects, SO far as they have been
stated by the press, az chmercal and vi.
eionary. Ii tho effect should be a revival
Of the mania for Railroads and other inn
provements, 10 be built on credit, or by
swinding the people with paper-money
banks, tho consequences will ultimately
be disastrous, and deplorable. Ono Of
tho main objects, as we understand, II 10
devise plan for the construction Of arail-
road from Memphis, or some point on the
Mississippi, to Charleston or Savannah on
the Atlantic. II seems to IT'S that the slight
est reflection will convince any common
sense man that such road, il completed, !,
would DO unprofitablei indeed we doubt
whether its revenue, in the present sparse
ly settled condition Of the country, would
pay for repairs and expenses, much less
refund, or pay interest on The immense
amount OF money required for It's construc-
iion. The freight on q bale OF cotton or .
hoeshead OF tobacco, from Memphis TO New
Orleans, Is $l,50 or $e,o0; by railroad tC
Charleston, would be so or So and in Iik,
proportion for all other products. The peo
Pile Of tho Mississippi valley need no othe
channel OF trade than their own might,
river and its great tributaries; and II i
matter Of aslonishment that such wild, iin
practicable schemes as are stated to be sub
iecis Of consideration for the meeting a
Memphis, can be seriously proposed. Bu
the other day we noticed plan gravely pu

The INFANT SISTERS lake benefit tonight al the Theatre. They richly deserve full house, and we hope they will have it. All who have witnessed their extraordinary performances are loud m their praise: indeed, in view of iher ages, they are un- occasionally without rivals. The eldest only six years ofage, has attained astonishing degree of perfection in dancing, and manests not only genius but patient and effective culture. Her style, which is easy, graceful and iacinatIng, is marked by fine taste. The other, four years old, is equally inter esing though her forte lies a different line. Her songs are given in character, in clear distinct mu sical voice. The "PasIIng Tiger," which she sing: tonight, shows the tlle thing to great advantage But it not be inferred that they crea lures of education, Nature still holds her sway, ant with all the training they have been subjected to lht child is still there in all i,s lu,eliness and nantilt art'essness.

Our contemporary of the Advertiser, feels and ex- presses great snprise that the Mobile Register should praise JAMES DELFT for his course in separating himself from the wings. and voting with the demo- cra's on several important occasions in the last Con- gress. It ought, think, excite quite as much surprise, that have bearded JOHN QUINCY Ap- AIMS and voted for rExAs, should have been taken SO quietly by our contemporary, usually so impatient of contradiction, aud severe upon any who break out of the whig fold or who fail 10 stand up in the srictest party line with him. Mr. DELFT votes for great public measure which we approve, but which our contemporary pronounced fagraRtly unconstitutional and wully wrong. IL surprises him that we should admire the political courage which did right under such circumstances, and to show that hIs surprise any homage to principle n an adversary is probably real, he exhibits his owa difference to principle among his friends, by pro- posing the same man, whose conduct he deprecated gross and insuerabe nfraclion of the con stitu- tion as his first choice among the Shigs for Cover of lhis State.

POSPERITY OF THE TOWN OF HAMBURG,
 SOUTH CAROLINA

Mir. Editor: Thursday. December 18th, 1s4l. was great business day with us. Our main street, which is half mile in length and 100 feet in width, literally blocked up from the river to the fooiof the hill with wagons. Curiosity led me tO know the business of Augusta the same day; crossed the br idge between l2 and o'clock and counted from the lower Market up to Bennoch's corner, 30 per Market, e wagons; above the Upper. Market there were no wagons m Broad street that could see. Abuut o'clock N. the same day, I, and gentleman from Augusta, belonging to class No.
 Of that city. counted the wagons in the streets of Hamburg and found I07 at that late hour-and no doubt there must have been upwards oi 2O0 wagons in town that day. On the next morning, l, in per- son, called al all the cotton warehouses m town, of which there are seven, when each of the proprietors or keepers furnished from their books the number of bales of cotton received by them, the amount ta
 ken in on that day was l, ,324 bales. This may be called extraordnary-and t is extrao' dnary too, when we reflect in what manner Hamburg has sprung into existence, and has prospered under all the vengeance that the power of man and money Of great City has inflicted her from the foundation thereof 10 the present day. Nature has decided in favor of Hamburg as place of trade, and the skill of man has improved what natuie has Jeff undone.
 The smiles of Heaven is with us in this Cause, and feel that shall be as successful in regainlng my property, as have been in chasiising their in. gratitude. A community among whom enjoyed many happy dave. and for whose b. nehl gave m, faiihinl services for many years, in erecting monu ments that only ornaaienis tO their city, but useful 'o its inhabitants, and which they themselves were incapable of erecting; mud my exile From the land, and from house and hUuse. naked was my re- ward. And in driving they drove those hundreds of wagons, with their thou.auds of bales of cotton, Iha adorned their sreets and filled their warehous.
