The Election.

The election, yesterday, for State OH
GERS, members of Congress, and If mem
bers of the Legislature, was warmly con-
tested and called out very heavy vote, not
less than twenty-six or seven hundred. The
result is large average majority for the
Locofoco candidates, ranging, on the Con-
gress and State tickets, as high as five or
six hundred. The heavy German vote of
our city, nearly or quite 500 strong, was
unbroken, for the so called " democratic"
ticket, and to that vote our Locofoco friends
are indebted for their success Mil. Sent.
Southport, Racine County gives about so
Locofoco majority on the State Ticket and
40 on Congress.
! We give below such returns as we can
procure, and have delayed our paper as long
as possible for the purpose. The Demo-
cratic victory in this town is complete, pla-
cling its politics beyond all doubt for the fu-
ture, at a majority of some $50.
I II will be seen that Mr.. Collins drew some
1 Of our strength to his own name, but the
( rest of the ticket was the test, not his cleo
ton. Mr.. Collins is popular with both par
ties, and deservedly so, and the high vote
be obtained was a tribute to him alone
Racine .adrocaie.
Iowa county has given small Democrat
ic majority.
Rock has elected two Wing Assembly
men and Wing Senator and three Demo
cratic Assemblymen.
In Milwaukee, for the Legislature, the
result is, Mr.. w. w. Brown, wing, is elect
ed by 90 maj. Mr.. Wunderly, democrat,
by 9; Mr.. Crazy dem. by l6, and Mr.. Gre,i-
/ Itch, dem, by 2l3.
The Sentinel says that twenty-five more
votes would have given the Wings two
more members of the Assembly.
The Watertown Chronicle says of the re-
suit in Dodge county,:
/ Later returns render very certain the
election of the Rev. Stephen Jones, Wing,
in the fourth district, and Monroe Thorn
son, Wing, in the fifth district, by small
majorities. II is also believed that Alvin
Foster, Wing, is elected in the first district
Charles Billinghurst, democrat, is elected
in the second district, by reported maj. OF
40 or so.
OF Jefferson county, the Chronicle, says:
4 "There can be no doub, of the election
Of Myron b. Williams, democrat, as State
Senator, by majority of some 100. The
State Democratic ticket has majority con-
siderably larger"

Great rire-Four Steamboats, Burnt.

The Missouri Republican says: " After
our paper had gone to press yesterday morn
ng--and too late for US TO notice it--a fire
broke out 10 the ladies' cabin of the steam
CIR Mail, lying at the foot of Olive street,
which Immediately spread throughout the
boat, and she was burnt TO the waters edge.
She was owned by Capt. Broomfield, VIM.
Richards, the clerk, and X. Mckenzie, and
was insured for So, 400 in the offices of that
city. She was valued at $4,000. There
was no cargo on hoard.
The fire then communicated TO the steam
err Missouri Mail, lying below, and this YES
sci was also consumed to the waters edge.
She had no freight on board, having just
dropped from the docks. She was valued
at $4,000. She was owned by Capt. La
mothe.
The steamer Lightfoot, lying above the,
Mail, was also entirely destroyed. She was
loading for the Usage river, and had on
board about one hundred tons of freight,
consisting chiefly of 500 barrels and $50
sacks salt, and dry goods. She was owned
hy Capt. Henry, Jas. Athison, Poindexter
& Wilson and w. III. Switzer. Her val
uation was $4,000, and she was insured for
$4,000 in the offices of that city.
The steamer Mary, lying above the Light
foot, also took fire, and the upper works aft
of the pilot house were destroyed, but the
hull received little damage. She was IN
sured in the offices of this city for $4,000,
which is sufficient to repair and furnish he<|
out. She is owned by Charles II. Miller.
The Fire department was out in force,
and through their exertions, particularly
aided by the Cincinnati boys, was the Mary
saved from destruction. Several boats "
ing in the vicinity Of the Mail when the fire
first broke out, were saved by being hauled
out BY the steamer Mary Stephens aud Ed
ward Bates, which boats had arrived in port
but short time previous.

ENGLAND AND THE ELECTRIC TELE-
GRApH.-We understand that, on the 9Th
instant, an official notification was conveyed
from the Home Office to the officers of the
Electric Telegraph Company, at their CEN
trail office in London, that, in conformity
with clause in the company act, the Gov
eminent would exercise the authority there
in vested in them, by taking possession of
the electric telegraph for time, for public
purposes. The company were required to
refuse to transmit any private message from
individuals, and were informed that, with
the exception of the markets and the prices
of funds, shares, &c., no intelligence must
be forwarded from London to any other
place, from any one telegraph station to an
other, but such as the Government permit
ted and authorized. The embargo, howev-
err, was not imposed upon the transmission
of news from Ireland, Manchester, Liver
pool, and other towns, to London.

continued until about dusE, when the A.
nsericans had succeeded in working their
way thro' the houses into the plaza, and the
Mexicans surrendered without discretion,
after having fought with usual bravery all
day.
The loss on the side Of the Mexicans was
100 killed and as many wounded, while on
our side there were but five killed and TWEEN
ty wounded--two of whom subsequently
died. The Mexican force was from 1900
to 1000. The officers, some forty in num-
Der, were taken prisoners, and the whole a.
mount of arms and ammunition captured
There were fourteen pieces of artillery,
some of heavy calibre, and about 1900
stand of small arms. On the 18th General
Price started back for Chihuahua, taking
with him Gov. Trias and portion of his
prisoners, and leaving Lieut.. COL Rails in
command, to follow as soon as practicable.
Mr.. Collins says that our troops conducted
themselves in the coolest manner, and dis
tinguished themselves by their bravery
officers and men. The Mexican prisoner:
were all liberated on parole soon after they
arrived at Chihuahua. Squire Collins lief
chihuahua on the 9th Of April, under al
escort of one company of LIST dragons
commanded by Capt. Greer, and arrived a
Gen. Wool's headquarters on the 2otb.--
He is on his way to Washington.

Adams and Metternich.

The New London News tells the follow
ing interesting story: when the Congress of
Emperors and Kings met in Paris to settle
the peace of Europe. the two most infiuen-
tial and prominent characters were Mr..
Canning( who was called among the French,
King of the Empcrors,) and Prince Met
ternich, who was ever styled SO the great
diplomatist." At one Of the meetings of
the great assembly of crowned heads and
ministers, Prince Metternich, being absent,
was highly complinented, and pronounced
/" the greatest dipiomatist of the age.o MIR,
Canning united in this testimonial of respect
to the great Austrian Ambassador, but adj
ded-" There is a greater than he -
/" Name him! Name hirl!o was heard from
every quarter. Mr. Canning replied, "A
man very well Known to this assembly,
John Quincy Adams of the United States
of America No comment can add to- az
compliment like this; language can never
convey more, for Canning no longer lives.
If any are curious to know how Mr.. Cam
ming so well knew Mr. Adams, we refer
them to the correspondence between Mr.
Adams, when minister of the court of St.
James, in 1915, and Mr.. Canning, then at
the head of the British Ministry"

Noted as our town Is for hcalihfulness-
more remarkable we venture TO say than
any other locality, east or west, as our
bills or mortality embracing more than one
thousand souls, win prove-it Is not less dis
iingnished for its moral healthinlness and
for It's neatness and beauty. No inland

finest description of prairie and wood lands,

FRANCE.

1t having been disco, cred that there was
on foot a scheme to elevate Prince de join
vile TO the Presidency of the Republic, a
decree was shortly to be put forth, inter-
dieting the return of the members of the
Orleans family to France. Lamartine has
proposed an alliance, offensive and deten-
sive, between France and the Swiss can
tons.
On Sunday, the 10th, Paris was the scene
of an extraordinary commotion. The peo-
pie engaged by the Provisional Government
upon the publication of some papers found
in the house of Guizot, inpeaching the po-
litcal character of the ex-minster, pro-
nounced them to be forgeries; and there
fore denounced Lamartine, and the more
moderate members of the Government
swearing 10 overtun it, and to establish in
BITS stead one from which all the present
members were to be excluded, save the
more violent among them. Ledru Bolln,
having great influence with the Communists
succeeded in drawing an immense con-
course to the Champ de Mars, whom he
harangued in the most infiamatory manner.
The majority OF the Government called
ON the National Guards, the Guard Mobile,
and two regiments of the line Cannon were
planted near the Hotel de Vile, and quiet
was restored without bloodshed, though for
a considerable interval revival of the old
reign of terror was apprehended. The
moderate members of the Government avoid
ell the error of the Girondisis IN '9S by a
prompt resort to forcible means of repress-
Ing mob violence. One Of the members of
the Provisional Government is said to have
been arrested. Prominent Communists have
been arrested. The Communists wear red
roses, and the moderate party the tri-colOr
OF the Girondists. Parties in Paris seem to
be divided as in the first revolution, but
while the Communists are probably less san
culinary than the old Terrorisis, their oppo-
nents are fiFmer, more energetic and stron-
ger than the Girondists. Matters in Paris
have reached point at which the fate of a
nation may be said to rest upon the conduct
Of q single great man. There Is every con-
fdcnce in Lamartine. He is believed to be
equal to the crisis.

DIR. JAYNE,s FAMILY MEDICINES.

Ii is cur principle in the management of this pa
per 10 n,,ice ANYTHING which we find out, from
personal investigation 10 be o utility TO the public
Some Of Dr. Javne's medicines we have used in
our family for many years. For instance g The
Expectorant,' 1.-The Carminative,'' and +" YER
mifuce" which we know 70 be good for the COM
plants they profess to cure. We were on Lake
Ontario, the past summer, when several of our
travelling companions, from having, in Western
New York, drank, for many days, the limestone
water of that region. were badly attacked with
violent Diarrhpa and Dyseniery. Mr.. ID. had
provided himself, previous to leaving home,
with 1.-The Carmnaiive of DIR. Jayne, and IN
all cases Gifts use, among five gentlemen, II was
successful IN effecting speedy cure $50
The Expectorant we have known used among
our intimate friends with equal success; and we
feel that we shall do good act to families lespe-
cially those situated so they cannot have access
to immediate medical skill to advise them to
keep on hand both the Expectarant and CarmIn-
alive. The Expeciorant Is believed by good ply
sicians, 10 be the best recipe fer Pulmonary Con-
sumptive complaints, that has ever yet been COM
pounded. The reason Is DIR. Jayne is NOT a
qnack, but regular, scientific, and able medical
practitioner himself. His medicines are used oy
the best physicians. g EZRA HOLDEN,
