THE NEW YORK JUDICIAL
ELECTION.

The returns from the western counties
are favorable to the election of the Loco
foco ticket for Judges of the Court Of APP
peals. As far as heard from the reported
maiorities in thirty counties place their
ticket about 5000 ahead, The vote is
quite small compared with what it was
last November. The New York Express
saws:
In the eight districts, electing four
Judges each of the Supreme Court, the
Locos have carried the lst, I'd, and 9th,
without much doubt, while in the Sd two
Whig Ant-Renters are chosen, and the
other two in doubt. In the 4th district
the Wings have elected Mr.. Cady, and
probably Mcssrs. Hopkins and Simmons.
The 9Th district, we presume, is Loco
The 9Th has elected three Wings, and
probably one Loco; Mr.. Jerome, on the
Wing ticket, having been stricken Off and
Seiden QLoco) put on by many Of the
Wings of Ontario county. The 9th
district, Notwithstanding the detection in
several of the counties, can hardly fail TO
elect four Whig candidates for Judges.
The Wings have carried fair proper
ton Of the county Judges, Surrogates,
and District Attorneys throughout the
State.
Ii shorld be remembered that all the
Wings get at this election is clear gain, as
the old judicial officers are now, and have
been from time immemmorial with few
exceptions in the hands of the Locolo-
cos.

The Baltimore and Ohio Raii-
road company.

We learn from the Argus that mee-
ting of the Board Of Directors OF the Bal
tinore and Ohio Railroad Company was
held yesterday morning. The President
Mr.. McLane read paper concerning the
present condition aud future prospects OF
the company, and recommended-lst, that
measures be taken for the extension Of
the road westward along the Banks of the
Potomac and Savage rivers TO the Mary
land line and I'd, that the road be also
extended to the south side OF the Basin
under the authority given and contract
heretofore made with the City Council.
The extension Of the road thus proyI-
ded for, will take ii to point from which
IT can hereafter be carried TO Pittsburgh

THE ILLINOIS VOLUNTEERS.

The correspondent of the New Orleans
Times states, OH the authority of Col.
BAKER himself, that he brings home less
than one-half Of the troops carried by him
from, the United States. The bodies OF
the other half enrich the soil OF Mexico,
and their memory the military character
of their country. The Colonel also
states that but a single soldier OF his regi-
ment has been guilty of an act requiring
punishment, and his offence was amply
atoned for by fine ofseven dollars and
few tours of double du'y. This fact
speaks well for the character Of Col. BA-
ker's regiment.

GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRE-
SIDENCY

The New Orleans Bulletin publishes
the following extract from letter writ
ten by Gen. Taylor under the date oil
May Is, bearing upon the movements in
his favor as candidate for the Presiden-
CIV. 1t will be seen that the Old Hero
expresses willingness TO accept a nomi-
nation If rendered him:
'.In regard to the Presidency, | will not
say that | will not serve, if the good peo-
pie of the country were to require me TO
do so, however much it is opposed to my
wishes-for / am free to say that have
no aspirations for the situation. My
greatest, perhaps only, wish has been to
bring, or aid in bringing this war to a
speedy and honorable close. 1t has ever
been, and still is, my anxious wish that
some one of the most experienced, talen-
ted and virtuous statesmen of the coun-
try should be chosen TO that high place al
the next election. | am satisfied that, il
our friends will do their duty, such clti
zen may be elected.
81 must, however, be allowed to say
that have not the vanity to consider my.
self qualified for SO high and responsible
station; and, whilst we have far more
eminent and deserving names before tht
country, should prefer to stand aside /
one OF them could be raised to the frs
office in the gift of free people.
81 go for the country, the whole coun
try; and it is my ardent and sincere wisl
to see the individual placed at the head o
the nation, who, by STRICT observance
of the Constitution, be he who he may,
can make US prosperous at home, as vel
as respected abroad"

THE Pass TO SANTA ANNA.-The form
OF the pass granted TO Santa Anna, as
copied in some of the papers is denied TO
be "an authentic copy" by the Union
Perhaps the editors will furnish us with
one more authentic, and we are glad to
see the President called upon 10 do so in
ahe Resolutions adopted on Wednesday
10y the Whig county Convention. The
denial of the Union. however, is not very
good authority upon public matters even
when they .afieet the character Of the ad-
ministratien- The Organ may deny
what ii win since the President himself
answers most efectually It's own denial.
In the annual message OF December s,
1916, the following may be found
'In riew OF these facts and circumstan-
ces II was. shat when orders were issued
TO the commander Of our naval force n
ahe Gulf. on the fiieenth day of May last.

PRICES AND WAGES.

The extreme prices which have been
attained in the markets for bread-stufIs,
must cause the larger portion of our citi-
zens to regard the prospects of the ap-
preaching harvest with more than ordi-
nary anxiety. Flour at SO barrel,
Wheat SO IS bushel, Corn 81 20, and
rye 81 40, with all other kinds of food
at proportionately extrayagant rates, draw
too heavily upon the pockets of the labor
er and artisan whose wages do not rise In
the same proportion. 1t may seem that
such state of things is highly favorable
to the Farmer, but it cannot prove to be
SO ultimately, for it is unnatural, and the
equilibrium Of prices must be restored
either by reduction of grain to its just
rate, or increase of wages to high mark.
Otherwise, in the end there will be di-
version of labor from other pursuits to
agriculture, and those who now consume
must become producers of food. Be-
sides the spectators and dealers in grain
are rather reaping the fruits of the present
inordinate prices than the producers who
sometime since parted with the contents
OF their barns and granaries.
The locos will have it, though, that the
tariff OF 1916 has caused the high prices
Of flour and grain. Ten dollars a barrel
is to high for flour. and can generally only
be realized through the designs Of specu-
lators, or in consequence Of extraordinary
scarcity of the article. But if, as the To-
cos would presist in asserting, the Tariff
of 1916 has caused flour TO raise 10 $40,
the great body of mechanics and laborers
whose wages have not meantime raised
one cent, will have TO determine for
themselves whether such Tariff is a
blessing to them The Wings never
claimed for the Tariff of 1912 the merit
of being able 10 increase the price of flour
to $40, while it left the wages Of laborers
without corresponding increase. We
gave for Tariff which works equally in
favor of all classes. The locos will there
fore have to recant their assertion that the
new Tariff has caused the present high
prices Of bread-stuffs, or else stand con-
victed Of monsterous conspiracy TO OPP
press the poor and hard-working portion
OF the communtily.-West Chester Re

city of Louisville, KY, and inveighed bit
terly against Gen. ScoTr for the taking
Of the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa. He
said that the mode Of capture was gross
violation of all the established usuages OF
war-that there was another instance on
record of General having compelled a
castle to surrender by threats of destroy

to our army, which will know how to

consequences which will fall upon your

| GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN ALABAMA
VALLEY.-The New Orleans Delta gives
the following account of some recent dis
coveres made in Alabama, by DIR. Dick
inson formerly Of Philadelphia.
every lately DIR. Dickinson made a
tour of inspection through that portion OF
Alabama in which abounds the rotten
limestone formation. Heretofore this for
nation has been known by geologists as
detritus from Shells, etc., but by the
power of glasses 1t has been proved to be
entirely different. DIR. Dickinson informs
us that it is huge coral reef where gl-
gantic branches shoot up several feet into
| beautiful arborescent form in its original
bed of the primeval ocean. At its base
are the fossil remains Of the huge zuglo-
don, shark, fishes, ETC., many OF the for
mer from forty to one hundred feet long,
winding in serpentinc form along the CO.
raj. Below this were found the remains
of an extensive sea, the bosom of which
was lined with beds of shells, varying
from twenty to thirty feet, in fine state
of preservation. These beds yielded a
great variety of shells, many of which
may still be found in our present seas, and
hence must have been OF comparatively
recent formation. Below this was found
huge oyster bed, imbcddcd in a blue
mari of clay in their original position
Some of these oysters measured fifteen
inches in length, and weighed from ten to
fifteen pounds. Succeeding this stratum
were found the bottoms of several ancient
seas, lakes and rivers, all yielding numer-
Gus fine fossils. Many of these fossils
DR.. Dickinson has forwarded to the Acad-
emy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PIcAYUNE.
LMrrrrn A.v IT l2Ar


SALr1LLo, (MExIco,) MAY II, l847.
Lieut.. Col. Mitchell and portion of
the advance Of Col. Dcniphan's command
arrived here yesterday morning from
Parras, having arrived at camp the day
before. This morning before breakfast
number of men came in and announced
that on Friday last detachment of Col.
Doniphan's regiment, under command OF
Capt Reed, consisting ef fifteen men, set
ont for the Rancho del POGO, about thirty
miles from Parras, after the Indians. At
the Rancho they were joined By party
of some twenty men, an advance of Gel.
Doniphan's main command, and before
long the Indians came up. The conflict
was quite desperate, forihe Indians fought
like devils. Capt. Reed was wounded
in the chin and shoulder by arrows, and
several horses were killed. On the side
Of the Indians the slaughter was more
deadly. The allpowerful rife caused
seventeen bold warriors to bite the dust,
and the rest fled, leaving most of their
plumber and the greater portion of their
women and children. We also captured
about 1000 head Of horses and mules
which thev had stolen. Most of these
Indians were Lippans, and not Canaan
ches.
The whole Of Col. Doniphan's COM
mand will be here in a few days, and,
after remaining awhile to recruit their
men and horses, they will proceed down
to the mouth Of the river. They have
now been in the service eleven months,
and, when they reach here, will have
marched two thousand eight hundred
miles from Fort Leavenworth, Missouri,
their place of rendezvous. They have
been constantly on the march for eight
months, and have been without tents since
last fall, nor Lave they drawn a single
dollar of pay since they have been in the
service.
