chic and PennsyivanIa.

The returns from Ohio are decisive OF the re-
election Of Gov. Woop, on the Democratic
ticket. This result is due, in part, to the CO.
alition of Mr.. CHASE, and his Freesoil adherents
with the Democrats. Gov WOOD is Wilmot
Proviso man, and, in fact, a Freesoiler, and SO
are several of the parties on the Democratic
ticket.
Pennsylvania BIGLER is elected governor
against JOHNSTON, and the main body Of Free
soilers. Governor BIGLER, however, must have
received good many Freesoil votes, as VIII
MOT himself supported him.

Ho. FOR CALIFoRHIA.-The rush for Califor-
mia seems to have been resumed with redoubled
vigor. The New York Express says that the
steamer Illinois on the 9th ult., had between
600 and 700 passengers, and the steamer on the
7th left with quite as many. The Ohio last Sat-
urday carried over 900. Through passages
to San Francisco can now be had in the steer

The official returns continue TO reduce Big.
ler's reported majorities Coulter, Wing, prob.
ably defeats Campbell for the Supreme bench.
Campbell, the Democratic candidate for the
supreme bench, is probably defeated by small
majority. The balance OF the Democratic State
officers are elected.
The official returns as far as received great
ly reduce the reported majorities for Bigler,
and his majority in the Stat will not exceed
5000. Berks gives Bigler 4Sa7 u'sj., Pike $50
Beaver 81, and Lycoming 800. Somerset
gives Johnston 1900 majority. Bigler's gain
in these counties is I,0lO, instead Of 1000 as
heretofore reported.
All the Democratic candidates for judges Of

PHILADELPHIA, Oct IL.
Col Bigler's m,joity for governor will be in

The Democratic candidates for judges Of the

the exception Of Judge Campbell, who has been
run very closely by Judge Coulter-so closely
that Il will be impossible TO speak With certainty
as to the result, for day or two.

From UTAH-HosrILITIE OF IsDIASs.-A
letter from the Great Salt Lake City, dated
August slst, says the Indians commit great
depredations on emigrants.
On the 18th Of August last, a party OF emi.
grants, bound for California, were suddenly at
tackled BY a band Of Snake Digger Indians, sup
posed to be Kata Toos band. As they were pass
ing copse Of willows, seven miles northeast Of
Steeple Rocks and the junction of the Salt Lake
and Fort Hall roads, they were fired upon, and
four OF the company fell. Nathan Stewart was
instantly killed, the other three MORALLY wound.
ed, and soon died Of their wounds. The others
had no alternative but prccipitate fight, their
ammunition being packed away. The firing
continued with much severity. J. T.. Whitson
escaped on his horse, TO n company several miles
hack on the Fort Hall road, while five others es-
capped through the wild sage bushes, across TO
the Salt Lake road, leaving eight Of the CON-
pany dead upon the ground. Numerous trains
have lost cattle and horses, and been fired upon.
The mail contractor, Mr.. Woodward. was CON-
PEELED TO travel in company with the emierants.

dan Underwood, do; - Chamberlain, White
Oak springs, H.; Louis Berry, Shellsbury, III. I;
M. Russell. (captain,) Galena, H. Il Is supposed
that these Indians were instigated by the trad
ers Of the Hudson Bay Company, and those OF
the band Of Bear river. The above parties lost
about $4,000, including 81 900 in money.
Judge Broehus. Elder Hyde, Mr.. Darlington,
&c. who arrived here on the l7uh inst, were
robbed on their way out, by large band Of
Pswnee Loups, on the upper part Of the Elk
Horn river, north eide. The Indians numbered
about 400 strong They Invested the gentlemen
Of numerous articles Of clothing. pistols, guns,
ammunition, &c. From Judge Brochus they
took splendid saddle horse and equipments;
his loss amounted, in all, to about $500. The
government troops seem TO be Of little use in
the Pssne nation. or in the Indian country.
FoREreN PosrAos.-it appears that our post
age arrangement with France and other countries
Of continental Europe, are not Of the most
agreeable and satisfactory character. BY the
existing systems, letters, from this country can
not be prepaid here |; and letters from thence to
