We have not up to this date received any accurate returns of the election held
 in this State for Governor and members of Congress, on the 10th inst, but the chances are against the success of the gal lant Weller, who bears the democratic banner. The whigs, aboitionists and free soil men are all united upon Ford, his op- ponent. The flag ends of all parties have been scraped together for the purpose of the defeat of Weller. Ford has acted tue mum to perfection--he refused to commit himself for Taylor or Van Buren, and by such means has managed 10 unite all these factions; while, on the other hand, Well Ter has acted in open-day- light, in the ad- vocacy of Cass and Butler. If the demo- cracy of Ohio should succeed in this elec- ton, it certainly will be more than we had any reason to expect, and can have no other effect upon the minds of all sen sibe men than to give it up as q gone coon, so far as it's going for Taylor is con ccrned The vote for Ford will be divided between Van Buron, Taylor and the abo- lition candidate, and suca being tAe case our chance Tor Ohio is doubly certain next aonth. ~ -ftf

We learn that company with large capital has been formed to establish a Factory on the Little Mulberry, in the lower part of Autauga. The Little Null berry is well adapted for such an estab- lishment of unlimited extent. We are pleased to sec the idle capital in that coun- ty being converted into such useful purpo- ses, and We look upon Autauga as becom- ing the most extensive manufacturing and weathiest county in Alabama in ten years.

Gc.a. Taylori,s Texas.

Itis an utter impossibility for the few whigs in the lone Star" to get three men who have the impotence to face the peo- pie in that State, in the support of man who has made such sweeping charges up- on her citizens as has General Taylor.-- Where is there a Texian who cau read the following letter of Gen. Taylor, char ging their brave citizen soldiers with being guilty of murder and marauding. without crying shame, shame "No more troops to be sent to this column from the State of Texas" Where are tae brave men of the Texas Ranger service Where was the gallant Walker? Where was ol.Hays? Where was Henderson, and fifty more of the bravest men in the volunteer service. and all from Texas and yet -"no more volunteers" is wanted from Texas by Gen. Taylor. They fought too well-they kill- ed the nurdering and pundering Mexi- cans wheevern found-gave them no quar- ters as Gen. Taylor did nt Monterey; such bravery did not suit l" Old Zacix" as these Texas boys showed-he wanted the Gre gular army" composed of men perfectly indifferent to any thing but what their of
 icers told them to do. We here give Taylor's letter which explains itself:

We heard the following anecdote rela, ted not long since, as illustrative of Gen. Taylor'5 ignorance of civil matters.
 About the lime Gen. Taylor wrote his Signal letter, some willy politician, and a democrat too, who was anxious to ascer- tain "Old Zack's" politics, happened to be in his tent while the Army of Occupa- ton was stationed at Monterey, and com menced the attack upon "Old Zacll" in this wise:
 "Well, General, what are your opinions about the ordinance of l787 2"
 "Why, sir, I don't know; 1 never saw any thing that was as old as that, (lhink. ing the ordinance of 's7 to be cannon, which is called ordnance.) but l would suppose the iron then was not as good as il is now, or that they could make as good ones as them of Bragg's."
 "Well, but General, perhaps you do not understand me. How do you think it would do to apply this ordinance over new territories p
 "Oh don't know, perhaps it would do very well to keep off the Indians, but it wouldn't do as well as muskets to fight them with"
 Whether this is true or not, we do not pretend to say, but it is the best joke that we have heard truly characteristic of Gen. Taylor's ignorance. It is no doubt, that Gen. Taylor did not know what the ordi' nance of 'S7 was when he first heard it mentioned, because he had been in the army fer forty years, serving his coustry in military capacity, and had not made politics his study, and consequently no one expected him to be familiar with civil mat ,ers. Thus il is, Gen. Taylor las made a good General, he has conducted every military campaign well, but he himself has insisted that he was ignorant and knew nothing about politics, but because he had in tue recent war with Mexico gained high opinion in the minds of the people, few whig politicians must take him up and make him President. so that through him they could get the reins of government in their own hands.

The Intellgencer published in Wedncs- day mornings paper an extract from the Boston speech of ex.Governor Seward of New York an untra abolitionist, in which
 he says The liberty party have d. ways had my respect and sympathy but they never had my vote." We believe otsey,cise, and tllnk we can show it but true or not in regard to his vote," did he never recommend any thing which was tantamount to "vote" in favor of that "party?" Did he never say anything that was paramount 10 mere $ sympathy" or a vote" even in favor ofthat party?" Such double dealing and special pleading will not serve the Intelligrnccr to hur1bug the South into tho belief that Governor Seward is no abolitionist. We speak on good authority when we say that this gentleman is so much more than an abo- litionist, as actually to prefer free negroes to IRIsHMEN and his teiloao-citizens. Al. ter saying to southern gentleman, among other things, that the free negroes voted for the whigs naturally and that fie Irish acould pochet their money and role tle de- mocra.ic ticket, he added, When you acant 10 get rid of your free negroes send 10 New York .ftty thousand, and aoe will give you as many Iristmen in exchange.
