From the Union Of "Wednesday.
FlOrf da

"The Jacksonville Republican reports the vote
of twenty one counties, in which Mr. Cabell's ma
iority is 4l3-in lsiS the same gave him 1854 ma
jority-scven counties yet to be heard from. His
re- election is considered certain"
The Union at length gives it up, and reluc-
family admits the reelection of Mr. CABELL,
the Wing candidate, to the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t omits to rejoice over the fact
that Mr.. CABELL was ran as Union man, and
that with Disunion opponent, Mr.. BEARD,
and with the influence against him Of the two
Disunion Senators from his State, Mr. CABELL
has been successful. The issue was distinctly
made between the candidates-Union or Disu-
Mon. This result is the more marked from the
fact that Mr.. CABELL was not in Florida dur
ing the canvass, and merely communicated with
his constituents by letter, in which he declared
his principles. We hail Mr. CABELL's cleo
ton as a most propitious sign.

Virginia Nonvrnfinn.

The session Of Wednesday was occupied
principally, in referring resolutions Of inquiry
upon particular propositions Of reform. mo
ton was made 10 adjourn until the first Monday
in January next, for the reason that the approx
innate estimates Of population and taxation were
not reliable. This was objected 10 as not essen
tial 10 the action Of the convention. II was
said that "therc were two fundamental facts
which were perfectly well known, and were To
he the basis Of their settlement of this basis
question. One was that tho West had a ma
jority Of white population; the other that the
East paid the larger portion Of the taxes"
twas suggested that the adjournment would
be attended with the expense Of additional
mileage, and per diem continued during the re-
cess. The motion was then laid on the table
A discussion arose upon the proprety Of pro
vidnq by constitutional enactment =" a plan o.
ascertaining, by actual survey and location, al

The WING Cause in New Jersey.

The Wings Of New Jersey appear to be
arousing 10 a sense Of the importance Of the
election which is shortly TO take place in that
State. The Wing journals there have grded
on their armor. The jersey City Sentinel and
Advertiser justly observes that New jersey is
a Wing State, and that her farmers, her me-
chanics, and her professional men, are gener-
ally inclined to the Wing cause They love
that cause. for the reason that il embodies mod
Grafton, truth, patriotism, love Of the Union,
regard for liberty regulated by law, and the
protection Of American labor. Coinciding in
these views, we would seriously urge our
friends in that section Of our country to be ac-
tive, vigiant, and true to themselves in the
present campaign and approaching conflict.
Upon the result Of this election will depend the
offices Of Chief Justice and three Associate
Justices Of the Supreme Court, the office Of
Chancellor, the offices Of Secretary Of State,
Clerk in Chancery, and Clerk Of the Supreme
Court. The state of our national affairs re-
qures the ablest men in both Houses of Con-
gress. The people Of New Jersey are TO elect
Representatives for one branch, and to choose a
Senate and Assembly which are to elect Uni
ted States Senator for the other branch Of our
National Legislature. Let the friends Of law,
order, and good government, therefore, stand
forward in this extremity, and place New Jer-
sey in the galaxy Of those States by whose pre-
sent course the efficiency Of our Union shall
be transmitted undimmed to remotest posterity.

The Texan Frontier.

The letters from San Antonio and Austin,
which we publish this morning, present state
of affairs in that quarter which may well excite
serious apprehension. Though we have later
dates from those points, the letters to which we
refer are from source that gives them an au-
thority which adds to their interest. We can
not but fear that we shall be involved in seri-
GUS conflict with the Indian tribes Of the South
west, which may cause regret that the Demo
cratic majorities in Congress withheld from the
Administration the force necessary to the pro-
lection of the frontier

"No subject wa. more important than the quiet

"No subject was more important than the quiet
ing of land tites. He spoke earnestly of the ma
lign Legislation which had left no foot OF ground
for emigration in Western Virginia. The State
had been dwarfed. While the East becoming
impoverished, its emigratng citizens were com
PEELED pass over West, to seek the other West,
the unknown West, and to us the unattached
West tie would go, decidedly go, for sweeping
Virginia with new broom. And he hoped the
West would have difference of opinion ON the
subject"
;. ..ss SO tue. Nothing has retarded the
progress of Virginia more than the colonial
system of land sales, which have enangled the
| land titles of the west to such an extent that
persons DESTROYS to purchase small farms were
| afraid to risk the title even of the patentee.
During the period when the Northwestern
States of Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, were
settling up with rapidity at prices far above
those of the Virginia land office, the lands of
Western Virginia were in the hands of for
egners, non residents, or large land holders;
and the doubt in relation to all the land titles
was such that the emgrants preferred entering
the land Of the Federal Government, under a
fair survey, with an undoubted title, and in
such sized tracts as suited them. The objec-
ton to the land-ttles has, however, been to a
great extent removed. Legislation has quieted
the title, and Western Virginia is settling up
with great rapidity. Whilst the convention
admitted the importance of improving the sys-
TEN o6survey and sale, it was doubted whether
it would constitute proper subject for organic
Legislation. The resolution was laid on the
table and ordered to be printed.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WAsHINoToN October 81, 1850
Applicants for bounty land, or for information in
relation thereto, are requested to address their
munications on that subject to the Commissioner
OF Pensions direct. Their transmission through
the Department proper imposes on it very great
and unnecessary amount of labor, and the addi-
| tional examination they must thereby necessarily
undergo, only creates delay, and increases their
Liability to be lost mislaid.
Whenever new questions arise under the law,
the decision Of the Department will be communi
Gated to the Commissioner Of Pensions, and he will
thereby be enabled, as he is required to do, promptly
to acknowledge the receipt of all communication,
and answer such inquiries as may be made
AS numerous inquiries have been directed to
those points, it may be well to state
LIST. That where the service has been rendered
by substitute, he is the person entitled to the BEN
eft of the law, and not his employer.
I'd. That the widow of soldier who has rem
dered the service required by the law is entitled
bounty land, provided she was widow at the pas
sage of the law, although she may have been mar
ried second time; but if not widow at that time
the benefit Of the act inures to the minor children
Of the deceased soldier.
Sd. That no person, who has received is en-
titled to bounty land under prior law, is entitled
to the benefit of the act of 2Sth September, 1850.
4th. That soldier is entitled to more than one
warrant under this act, although he may have
served several terms; but, where soldier has
served several terms, he will receive warrant for
the greatest quantity of land to which those several
terms, consolidated, will entitle him.
