GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Whole Whig State Ticket E.
lected by Majorities Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 !!!!!!!I
THE EMPIRE STATE EREDEEMEDl


The gallant Wings Of New York have
covered themselves with glory They
have Just achieved SPLENDID VIC
TORY-onc that will thrill the heart of
every Wing in the land The triumph
is most perfect and compleiel Allhonor
10 the Wings Of the Empire State -
Their brethren throughout the Nation are
indebted TO them.
The Tribune saws, "For the first time
since 1914, our STATE GOVERN
MENT is WHIG IN EVERY DE-
PARTMENT, save the Judicial. We
have Whig Governor, Lieut.. Governor,
all the Heads of Departments, Canal
Board, Prison Inspectors, &C., with large
,naiorities in each branch of the Legisla-
ture. Never before has the State Admin
istration been so thoroughly Wing
Whe believe the Wings have carried
THREE FOURTHS OF BOTH
HOUSES, and elected every man on
their State ticket by from 80 to $4,000 ma
icrity! We think Mr.. Filmore's majori-
can hardly fail to reach $4,000!
The Wings have clectel majority
Of 10 or ls IN the State Senate, who arc
to vote in ls49 for United States Sena-
tor, in place or Mr.. Dix. whose term ex-
pires in March ls49. This is important
as il may secure Wing u. 5. Senator.
The Wings have also swept the City
of New York, and with as much of a
tempest as in the State. A thousand
cheers for REDEEMED New York!

IMPORTANT ARREST.

We learn from the Germantown Tele-
graph of the Sd inst, that man, who
gave his name as Shakespeare, was arres-
ted, in Philadelphia, having in his posses.
sion nearly $4,000 in counterfeit los, on
the Mechanics Bank of the city of New
York. The execution Of the notes,
though inferior TO the genuine, is cslcula-
ted TO deceive, but they may be detected
by the signature of the Comptroller be-
ing printed. The notes are stamped a.
rross the face in red ink, with the words
Delaware and Hudson Canal Co." with
the view of inducing belief in their be-
ing genuine.

TO the Commissioners and Treasurers OF

collection and payment Of taxes, TO meet

By the late food win diminish the re-

oMERsET HERALD.
ARMY COURT MARTIAL.

A6.our. Martial is pow sitlingIn W ash
ington City, to Investigate certain charges
nreferred against Lieut.. Col. FREmoSr, Of
the u. s. Regiment Of Mounted Rlaeinen.
The Colonel is charged with Mntiny and
DisobeJience Of orders, whilst in Caiilor-
nis, he having refused 10 recognize the
authority OF Gen. Kearney, superior
officer. The Colonel's defence is predl-
Gated upon the fact that he was acting un-
der orders from Commodore Stockton, and
alleges thar he could not obey the con.
flicting orders Of two supericrs, not know
ing which was the highest in rank; bu'
having FIRST received his orders from Com
lncdore Stockton, he preferred 10 act IN
der them and to disregard these Of Genera
Kesrney.
The testimony already adduced on ths
trial is voluminous, and il is supposed
that by ,hs time it is got through with
the chief purpose Of the Administration
in bringing on the war will be pretty full
" developed. In one Of the letters of Sec
retary Bsncroft to Commodore Stockton
read 10 the Court; it is said that "the ob
,ect of the United States is, under iis
rights as belligerant nation. to possess
itself entirely OF Upper California
