CoNNEcTicuT.-The town elections IN
Connecticut, afford very gratifying
result. As far as the returns are receiy-
cd, the Wings have carried decided
majority of the towns and have made
considerable gains. The greater part
of the towns have voted against granting
any licenses for the sale Of ardent spirits
Not moro than twenty or thirty towns in
the whole State, have voted to grant
licenses. A proposition TO amend the
constitution, so as to make residence the
only qualification for voting, was voted
upon. Il has probably been adopted.

Georgia Election.

The New York Evening Express OF

about thirty counties, which show o gain
Of nearly thousand votes for Mr..
Crawford, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, as compared with the returns OF
the last Presidential election, when MI.

little exceeding two thousand. A cor
responding gain in tho counties that re-
main to be heard from will now give
the State to the Wings. So far as we
have returns Of the Legislature there
are elccted-Scnators, 12 Wings to G
Locos Representatives. 43 Wings to

that the news first received from this
State is generally most favorable to the
Wings.

81 counties, which give Crawford ma
jority of lll2 votes, and a Wing gain
compared with the election Of Polk OF
1917. There are some hopes Of Geor-

FRUiT.--Some Of the city papers
complain Of the high price Of fruit to
which others very properly reply that
the fruit is worth TO the producer what il
will bring in market, and that all good
fruit finds a quick sale at high prices
The only way to reduce the price is, to
increase The supply. This, however,
seems to be difficult process, for al
though the supply is ten times as grea,
as 1t was few years ago, The demand is
as much ahead of il as ever. The fac,
is that there is no approach TO an ade-
quate supply Of the best fruit, and there
is no present danger Of its becoming q

NAcKEREL.-The price of this fish il
lower now than for a long series Of years
past. The cause is singular, and shews
that trade, as well as law is sometimes
very uncertain. The opening prices for
the catch Of this yenr were much the
same with those OF last year, and every
thing seemed to be going on smoothly,
when all at once there rushed into Bos-
ton Bay an immense school Of very fat
Wackerel, Of rather small size and evil
IDENTITY of a different family from those
usually taken. The catch Of the fisher
men was Instantly quadruplcd. From
this school an extra quantity was taken,
amounting, as some persons estimate, Ia
twenty thousand barrels. Although very
fat and delicious, they were, from their
size, almost all ranked us No. 9 and 8,
and the price Of these numbers were
thrown down TO their present position
The fall On No. 2 was four dollars a
barrel, causing very severe loss TO
holders, who had purchased with the or
d'nary prospect Of profit. This new
family Of the Gsh have been chiefly in
s,ru"en'al in causing The trregu'arity in
the inspections which we have already
mentioned. Some Of the inspectors rated
as No. on account Of iatness, the same
fish which others called No. 9 on ac-
count Of size. For use it is really OF
very little onsequenee for their ex-
cellent quality is mdncing our best livers
TO tske them Tor family use in preierenc G

are Of very questionable superiority

MEXICO AND TEXAS.

There are vast number OF rumors and specu.
lations about the movement of troops, and about
assertions IN the Mexican camp, and of decara-
tons of war, &C.. but our own impression is,
that there will be no declaration on the part of
Mexico, but if she takes any steps, it will be an
effort to re.conquer Texas, and our troops sta
toned at the mouth of the Nueces will not per.
nit them to come over into Texas Herrera has
been elected President, and Almonte is in the
Cabinet, whether the forebodes war or peace,
we know not, our own impression is that AL.
monte whould like to have brush with our men,
but he of all other Mexicans. ought to know the
folly OF such an undertaking, and knowing it, viii
act accordingly. From letter to the Tropi'
dated at Pensacola, we take the following: -

but will exert Its utmost endeavors to reconque

THE MEXICAN WAR RUMORS.

The public mind is rapidly settling down to
the conclusion that there will be no war with
Mexico. This result will cause no little dsap.
pointment-for it is fact which admits of nc
controversy that our people have no great aver.
sion to war. This has been fully indicated in
alacrity with which some of our veteran war
riors have come forward to tender their servi.

From the Union.

We published, on Saturday evening, the i'm.
portant circular of the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry on the revenues. The "New York Morning
News" ,re.published it yesterday, with the fol.
lowing remarks:
PRODUCTION OF THE TARIFF.-Below will be
found series of forty questions, issuing from the
Secretary of the Treasury to manufacturers in
relation to the nature of their business, and the
influence which the tariff exerts over it. The
answer TO these questions, embodied in sta.
tistical from under the direction of the Bureau
of Statistics, would from most valuable acqui.
sition TO our economical information. The
mass of evidence from different quarters will be
check upon interested statements of part of
them. The Doth, Both and 3lst questions re.
qure information as to whether the manufac.
turers could not exist at an average duty of l2I
per cent and, if not, in what manner the CAPT.
tai would be employed to better advantage. -
This will be close question. The answer to
twill be, universally, that they cannot exist at
a reduced duty. The truth, however, will be,
that they will do larger and more profitable
business at low duty than at a high one, and
for reasons that enter but in very small degree
into the calculations of our manufacturers. The
leading motive for wishing high duty is to OBJ
tain, at the present moment, higher price for
the article than could otherwise be obtained.
This advance in price, obeying the universal
law of trade, discourages consumption. The
demand for goods is further reduced by the de-
cline in the price of farm produce, consequent
upon the diminished foreign trade. Farm pro.

WAR WITH MEXICO

The information in connection with the dec.
laraton of hostilities by Mexico against the
United States, fuctuates SO much that it is
scarcely possible to form any opinion. We
think that there will be none. and find this opn'
ion entertained by most of the New Orleans
papers. Gen Herrera has been elected Pfesi
dent, and Almonte is in his cabinet. Mexico
may fret little more, possibly, but we doubt
whether her infatuaton is so great as to lead
her to declaration of war.-Mem. Enquirer.

"TRICKS" IN TIpPAH.

During our absence in the western portion of
the State for the last two weeks, things have
occurred which deserve some notice at our
hands.
We found on our return circular in our ad'
vertising columns Of an independent candidate
fol the State Senate. Hon. F. Brougher late
Senator from the county of Tippah in the Leg
islature of the State Of Mississippi, stakes this
step" according to his circular) "with due re-
Election and in consideration of duty he owes
to the citizens of Tppah Country" He "does
it in opposition to the nominee of our county
conyen,ion,"-h "does it with some regret,"-
he .does It under the most flattering, extensive
and respectable solicitations. Like Cincin.
na,tus. we suppose, tho his country has done
him the injustice of consigning him to obscurity,
he cannot resist the appeal Of that country to
his patriotism, when It finds his services indis.
pensable. Mr.. Brougher may see some analo.
py between himself and Cincinnattus; but we
confess we see few points Of difference in the
characters and conduct OF these TWO great men

ration of duty he owes the people of Tippah
county," Now this gentleman certainly owes
the people of Tippah great deal. He owes
them debt Of gratitude for having placed him
in a position which he never became; and, we
suppose, in order to pay that debt he asks them
n Mace him there again. He owes them an
importance acquired by the occupancy of high
and honorable post, which his occupancy by no
means exalted. To repay them for this, he is
willing to do them the favor Of serving them a.
gain in the same capacity. But we doubt
whether the people Of Tppah will consiter this
condescension on his part as discharge or aug.
menta,ion Of his debt. We question whether
they will place the same estimate on Mr.
Brougher's craftsmanship as he evidently does
himself.
