done to the crops BY the long droughts and sspe-

nrississipni Election.

We have received the returns from every county
in Mississippi, except thrce-Hancock, Tunica
and Jackson. The returns from those counties
may reduce Foote'S majority, but cannot affect the
result. Foote'S majority ia 1893 votes-Foote.
5,2l5-Davis, 1892.
The whole Union State ticket is undoubtedly
elected. Judge Guion, dsunionist, is defeated by
at lcast 5000 votes. Dan. Russell-"electionee
ing Dan''-runs largely ahead Of his ticket.
In relation to the Congressional districts, while
VIC arc gratfed to announce the success Of Messrs
Majors, Freeman, and Wiley, Unionists, we re-
greet TO chronicle the reelection of Brown, dis
unionist, by increased major ty. He is an
adroit demagogue; among rank disunionists the
most rabd and his success does not rebound to the
honor or intelligence of his district.

A BEAR SToRY.-Mr. Emerson Shaw, of Quincy,
has in his possession huge black bear, weighing
nearly four hundred pounds and as wild and fero-
cious any specimen OF the bear kind ever seen
in this vicinity. The capture of this bear in
this wise: Six men belonging to Quincy made a
hunting excursion to the vicinity of Moosehesd
Lake. After several days chase in search of game
they at last came in sight of this bear, and mme
diately started in pursuit, determined to take him
alive. They succeeded after long struggle in
driving him into the Interchangeable Lake.
Two boats were then procured, and poor bruin
was besieged SO that he could not escape. He did
not disposed to yield however, and for over
forty hours the men could not make the least at
tempt to confne him At last poor bruin became
fatigued, and was taken in tow. With witch hazel
his legs were tied, and on reaching shore witch
hazel basket was made and strung on poles, and in
this the bear was borne, on the shoulders of the
hunters, seven miles. wagon was procured, and
his bearship conveyed to Buckfield, and thence
by railroad to Boston!
The bear is now alive, and is at the residence OF
Mr. Shaw, of Quincy. The battle fought in order
TO capture him was very severe, and two of the
hunters stood in the water three hours before he
could be securely bound.--BOston Traveller.

EMIGRATION FROM aREAr BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

Few tables could, we think, be more instruc-
tive than this, and yet it tells but half the
truth. In l843 emigration was as great 10 the
colonies as to this country, whereas in l049 1t
was but little more than one third as great; but
of the 10000 here given as having emgrated
to the colonies in l849, at least ne-fourth have
crossed the line and settled In the Union, and
the real proportion is probably about four to one,
instead of being less than three to one, as here
set down. Again, we see that precisely as
Great Britain has more and more rendered her
self dependent upon other nations for supplies OF
food and raw materials-the products of agrl-
cuture-the people have been more and more
disposed to abandon their homes, their relations
and friends, to seek elsewhere the food and
clothing denied them at home; and with each
such step the communities with which England
is connected are more and more disposed to
separate from her, and set up for themselves.
Such is undeniably the case with Ireland
Canada, the West Indies, and Australia.
Examine the system where we may, it is
seen to be productive of repulsion among
individuals and communities, compelling men
to fly from their fellOwmen; thus weakening
the empire, and everywhere preparing, in the
words of the Times, for ga general collapse"
1t would seem to be desirable that those who
advocate among ourselves the maintenance Of
British control over the manufactures and
trade of the world should explain these extra
ordinary facts, and prove how it is that we are
to be benefited by system that paralyzes Can
ada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and
ruins Ireland, the West Indies, and India.
Will our neighbors of the Union undertake
the taSk1
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-11-22

their friends; and the repulsion thus manifested
extends itself to every portion ofthe world that
is subject to the British system of trade. Can
ada and Australia are settled by BritOns and
governed by British laws, and the emigrant to
either Of them would still remain in close com
munion with his countrymen, and a subject OF
her majesty the queen; but for that reason 1t
is that he avoids them. The colonies could
offer him only the same system which has
ruined and depopulated Ireland and India
that system known Manchester free trade
This country offers him some protection, and
occasionally complete protection, against the
men who began by running the manufacturers OF
those countries, and thus brought about the
exhaustion of the land and the ruin of its own
ers; and by protection it seeks to establish the
right of its citizens to make their exchanges at
home instead of being compelled to make them
abroad, as is now the case with the people of
Ireland and of all the British colonies. 1t de-
slres to establish and to maintain American
freedom of trade, and by its aid to destroy the
British monopoly and establish perfect freedom
of trade. The emigrants from the British isles
have to make their election between Manches
ter free trade and American free trade--be-
tween the free trade of Mr.. McCULLoCH and
that of ADAM SMITH; and what has been their
decision as TO the comparative advantages Of
feredsto the laborer under the two systems,
may be seen by the following table:

From MINNESOTA TERRIToRv.-A correspondent
of the ST. Louis Republican, writing from st. Paul,
Minnesota Territory, as late as November 3, says:
Last night express arrived at Fort Smelling,
informing the commander of war party of four
hundred Winnebago warriors being at ltasco,
thirty miles above, their way down to visit the
Sioux, to get them to join them to make war upon
the Chippewas; alleging as the cause that the
Chippewas had taken the scalp of one of the Win
nebagoes. This tale is believed TO be an excuse to
get back again into their old hunting grounds in
Wisconsin and Iowa. The Winneba goes had sent
their squaws and papooses down the river in ca
noes during the night, as we saw many OF them on
the banks of the river below. The commander of
Fort Smelling, receiving the information, de-
spatched n company of infantry, under Lieutenant
Colonel II. l.. Alexander and detachment of dra
goons, under Lieutenant Magrudcr, to meet the
Winnebago war party and turn them back These
officers left Fort Smelling well provided with arms
and ammunition to carry out the orders of the col
onel.
Considerable snow fell last evening at this place,
and the weather turned quite cold. St. Paul has
improved a great deal since my visit last June.
Many new buildings have been erected, and the
population increased nearly double. Everyb body
seems pleased and satisfied with the place. Money
is very scarce; consequently a great credit bust
ness is carried on, which in time will have a ten
dency to cramp many who now seem to be doing
well.
The productions of the country not adequate
to the wants of the people, and much doubt il they
ever are able to supply the demand.
The cranberry crop is very light, and selling by
the barrel at So. i wanted to buy five hundred
barrels at So so, and could not get any, though
some had been sold before at 81 go | perceive
they are a ready sale at Gaena and lower down the
river at Sc so and 81 per barrel.
The people of this country are looking for an
early winter and long one. presume no boats
will be able to reach ST. Paul after the 18th of the
present month.
The removals from Office in the Territory seem &c
be very satisfactory, and the new appointments Gee
far as known are thought to be good

INTERNATIONAL CoPyRIoHT.-M. Ernest Ba

Fuglaive slave. I'm canada.
The Toronto (Canada) Globe says:

''The Anti slavery Society of this city has done
something for the relief of the refugees living
among us until they can find employment. But
their very limited fund is exhausted and they will
have to appeal 10 a charitable public benevoence
for supply. Some of the refugees in distress
from sickness and poverty. The appeal, we are
confident, will not be made in vain"
This, then is the Canadian elysum to
which the poor dupes of demagogues have been
enticed in droves. Their lot in Canada, so
long as summer lasts, does not materially differ
from that of free negroes In our own cities; the
prejudice against color, and the habits that are
supposed to be connected with it, is as strong
as here, but the avenues of mental employment
nesses, the refugees have no means of subsst-
ence but those which spring from out-of door
avocations. and the ordinary branches of sum-
mer labor But the case is widely different
during the six months reign Of an extreme
northern winter. All out-of door work Of which
the majority of refugees are capable is for the
season suspended, and they are compelled there
fore to fall back upon savings, upon the chart
ty of the strangers amongst whom they dwell.
The Toronto Globe describes portion of them
as sin distress from poverty and sickness" be-
fore the rigors of winter commence. What they
will suffer during its progress, and what will
be their condition at its close, may be conceived
without difficulty. That public benevolence"
will do something to mitigate their sufferings,
is exceedingly probable; but the tone displayed
by other Canadian papers in regard to the re-
fugees excludes all grounds for the confidence
expressed by the Globe, which may be consid-
cred the organ of the Canadian aiders and abet-
tors of American Abolitonsts.
The fact stated by the Globe ought to excite
strong misgvings in the minds of those who
counsel negroes to fly to Canada, instead of
availing themselves of the schemes that are in
operation for their colonization in Liberia and Ja
maica The climate and entire circumstances
of Canada render it wholly unfit to become the
home of the mass of the colored race.

Louis Napoleon's illusions to the United
States.


We find that the Geographic account of the
message addressed by Louis Napoleon to the
French Assembly omitted those passages in
which reference is made to the relations exist
ing between France and this country. The
first passage of the kind alludes to law passed
during the last session of the Assembly, and is
as follows:
ssAnother law conceded the service of the mail
packet boats of the Mediterranean private enter
prise 1t is desirable that similar concessions
should allow of the extension of our relations of
commerce and intercourse with the transatlantic
countries. The Administration ia occupied in con-
sideration of the question of the of bringing
them to a solution"
The subject, though possessing little interest
to the general reader, is one of considerable i'm
tile operations between the United States and
France.
The recent Cuban affair calls forth the fol-
lowing paragraph from the President
"We have eagerly seized the opportunity to
furnish Spain with proof of the sincerity of our
relations, by joining England in offering the Cabi-
net of Madrid the assistance of naval forces to
repuse the late audacious attack against Cuba.
Besides, our Minister at Washington has been in
structed amcably to support the recamations of the
Court of Madrid, and the justice of these recama-
tons has been most loyalty recognised by the Fed
eral Government"
The correspondence of the New York Com
naercial .aduertiser contains statement correc-
tive of the Presidents remarks, or at least ex-
planatory of them. 1t is this:
elf the President had added that correspond.
ence is now going on between his Cabinet and the
Federal Government aforesaid on the above sub
ject, and that that correspondence though couched
in the most polite diplomatic phraseelogy, contains
some disagreeabe things on both sides, he would
have been nearer the mark. AT least, a member of
the Assembly, whom have to think per-
fecty informed, tells me He adds further that
the structures of the French government bear prin-
cipaly on the inability of the United States to re-
press the formation Of armed bands in their terri
tory for the attack of other countries"
For ourselves it is not necessary that we
should do more than repeat the remark made long
agoin regard to this matter, namely, that any IN
reference of the kind indicated, on the part of
France or England, would be highly objection
able in itself, and might produce serious diff
culties, without possibility of benefit to any
Of the parties concerned.
The only other reference is the following,
which requires no remark:
"The reclamations which large number of
French merchants and ship-owners have TO bring
against the Government of the United States, in
consequence OF various arbitrary seizures by the
California custom house, not yet either liqsi-
dated or paid; but the American Congress and the
| Cabinet of Washington have formally recognised
their justice, and we shall obtain legitimate
| satisfaction"
