NEW SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE.

We have the pleasure to announce the election
Of JoHN BELL 10 be Senator of the United States
from the State of Tennessee for the term OF SIX
years, to end on the Sd day of March, 1853.
Mr.. BELL is well known, in the whole circle OF
our readers, as formerly Meinber, and the Speaker,
of the House of Representatives: his talents and
services In that House having recommended him to
President HARRISON, when forming his Cabinet as
Secretary of War. In that capacity he served
with distinction, until, some months after the death
of President HARRISON, the course of his successor
made it impossible for Mr.. B. consistently with his
sense of duty, to remain in office.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

To prevent misconception, and in justice to our
selves, we deem il proper to say, in this general
way, that we receive almost daily, communications
which, for reasons that may not strike their au-
thors, we feel obliged to decline inserting but which
it would be burdensome, if not impossible, with a
due regard to other calls upon our time, to make
known in each case in writing our reasons for not
publishing. We beg therefore that those cores
pondens who neither see their favors in print, nor
yet receive any acknowledgment Of them, will not
attribute the omission to want Of respect to them
selves or neglect Of their favors.

MISSISSIPPI STATE FAITH.

We learn with pleasure (says the Philadelphia
Inquirer that I. L. ROBINS, Esq. is now on his
way to Europe for the purpose of meeting the hold
ers of the bonds Of Mississippi, and making such
arrangements as will entirely redeem the honor Of
that State. In letter addressed TO the editors Of
the New York Express before his departure, Mr..
X. states that the recent election in Mississippi was
made to turn upon the question Of Reputation or no
reputation and that the result has been glorious
victory in favor Of Chief Justice SmARKEy, the can
didate of the antl-repudiaonisls. Mr.. r. closes his
letter with this prediction:
Mississippi will rapidly disenthral herself, and
my mission to Europe gives happy omen of a re-
turn TO happier days. The pail of Reputation,
which has for years depressed the minds of all good
men IN MISSISSIPPI has fallen; and predict that
within the coming year living evidence will be
given that our people are honest, and will, 10 the
best Of their ability. prove just.o

THE NORTHWESTERN GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Last May a. geological corps was organized by
the General Government, and placed under the con-
troll OF DIR. ID. ID. OWEN, to effect survey OF the
almost UNEMPLOYED regions embraced in the new
Territory OF Minnesota and the extreme portions of
Iowa and WISCONSIN. During the summer this
survey has been actively urged forward by Doctor
OWEN, who has not confined his examination to
the geological character of the country, but has
prepared himself to report upon the agricultural
sources OF the land, the statistics OF the lumber
trade of that region, and the physical geography of
the country. DIR. Owen and his corps are now on
the way to Cincinnati, after having made an exam-
nation of the country on both sides OF the Missis-
sippi river north Of the Wisconsin and Turkey
rivers and south of the St. Croix and st. Peters
rivers, embracing the whole of the Chippewa land
district, situated in Iowa and Wisconsin. The
Wisconsin, Prairie la Cross, and Black rivers--al
the branches of the Chippewa, ST. Croix, Bots
Brule, and Montreal or Mauvais rivers, and the
west fork of Bias river-have been explored from
their mouths to their respective sources. The st.
Peters river was assembled little beyond the Bots
Franc; and all the streams south OF the st. Peters
and north of the United States geological survey,
made by Doctor Owen in 1889, have been as
cended as far they were navigable in birch-bark
canoes. In efecting their surveys and explorations
several thousand miles have been trayersed, and
Lake Superior visited six times
The winter will be spent in Cincinnati preparing
a report to the Government of the operations of
this first season, and in making chemical examina-
tione Of the specimens Of mineral rock &C. brought
from the far Northwest. In the spring the first
labors of the corps will be resumed. Two more
seasons will complete the examination.
