INTELLIGENCE FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
we have received papers from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 4th of June last, from which
we extract the following items of intelligence
Messrs H. and E. Suffert, of Cape Town, have
issued prospectus TO establish an association
for the cultivation of cotton at Natal. At pub
lie meeting, where the object of the company
was shortly exposed, the 1900 shares allotted
for Cape Town were all taken within two hours
1t ispropossd to import Immediately 120 Ger
man families, which will take three or four YES
sells, and double at once the present number of
white inhabitants, without the least trouble or
expense to Government.
In consequence of the cheering prospect pre-
scented by the adaptation of Natal tor the cult
vat on Of cotton and indigo, land in that colony
has risen considerably in price. The half of
farm near Durham YVES very recently sold for
f9OO, and one of the Umgenie allotments, sold
by government few months ago for EGO, was
purchased for party in Cape Town for f2OO.
The Graham's IoDn Journal contains a very
long general order from the Governor and Com
mander-in- Chief, disbanding many of the burgher
levies, and remodelling the others.
1t is intimeted that there is prospect of peace
being restored with the Kafirs.
1t is proposed to form Joint Stock Company
for supplying Rondebosch and its vcinity-the
line OF main road to Cape Town-Cape Town
and Green Forthwith an additional supply of
water, from some of the springs on the eastern
slope of Table mountain.

New Yors, Monday. September Ii, ls47.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-09-13

One or two leading wing papers In Boston
make the net wing loss 1920, in one hundred and
sixteen towns. Although the apI earances are in
favor of the wings having majority in the Lee
gislature, yet several democratic papers express
themselves sure of majority on their side.
Strange results are sometimes to be seen in
election returns This election, and the recent
choice of a democratic member of Congress, in
Rhode Island, show how foolish il is to count
upon the certainty of the result OF any election
controlled in the least degree by local causes
We once heard very shrewd sporting gentle
man say that he never made bet on the result
of an election he would bet on horse race, or
on yacht race, for in them he could judge by
the points and qualities of the animals and
yachts engaged in the contests, but on mems
minds on questions of local Importance, he con-
siderpd that he was out of his element.
Thus it ought to be. The overthrow of one
party, and the elevation of another, almost
always shows that the mass of the people have
their eyes open. They may, indeed, be some
times wrong, but they are more frequently cor
rect in their decision
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-09-13

VERMONT ELKcTIoa.-The result Of the cleo
tion in Vermont is rather unfavorable to the
wings, owing, it is said, TO dozen local causes,
such as the license question, railroads, bank
charters, sc. SC, having their influence on the
votes OF the people. 1t is probable however, that
the wings will have majority in the Legisla-
ture, which will give them the State officers.
The result on the gubernatorial ticket In one
hundred and sixteen towns, in a comparative
moi nj of view Is as nlloWs -
