One OF the most amusing instances of prena--
ture jubilation we have ever seen is given by the
Southern Press of Tuesday, which is in extaces
over Bragg election, and what i! assumes to be
the triumph Of the Secessionsts in all Alabama
''We regard the result of this election in Mo-
bile lit says) as more significant of public.sen-
timent in Alabama than any other in that State
except, perhaps, that Of Gouernor Collier, aoahom
opposition" Then, taking for granted the
election of Harris (Sec esson) to Congress-, and
u close run between Rice and White, the Press
adds:
"When, therefore, we take into consideration the
fact that this excitement in Alabama has been much
recent thnn in the cotermnous Staes and the or
ganzaton of the States rights party there but partial
the result of these elections, so far from encouraging
the organsts, should and must fill them with djsmay.
"Asr extracting the opinions of Gov. Collier the
question Of secession and making abortve efforts
TO bring out Shields in opposition the Union candi-
date, the "unionsts self styled-abandoned opposi-
tlon and allowed him to be elected by default in
sheer despair The States rights men, therefore, have
elected their governor, and most probably three out Of
representatives"
All this purports to be said "to vindicate the
truth of history" Now, to show how historical
" authentic the Press is, it is necessary to men,
ton that not only was Gov. Collier opposed, but
the last report is that he has been beaten by
Shields, the Union candidate.
The Enquirer, too, is little hasty. 1t said yes
terday: "Henry Clays State and district have at
last returned to the faith in which he first found
them, and in which he commenced his brilliant DO.
itical career"

FROM TRINIDAD, CUBA.-Accordng to the ac-
counts given of the Cuban patriots in the eastern
part of Cuba, as published in the New York papers
OF Friday, they were, on the goth Of July, await
ing in the mountains rising in Trinidad, which
was set down to take place on the oath of July,
and which was to be headed by five hundred of
the most wealthy and patriotic of the inhabitants
Of that place After the uprising in Trinidad, the
patriots in the mountains were to march down and
join them.
We have, however, advices from Trinidad TO
the 26th, contained in letter from an authentic
and reliable source-a mercantile house in

says:
"You will hear exaggerated accounts of rising

claimed the independence of Cuba. Being pursued
by the Government troops, portion of them i'm

PAiaPuL RuMoH.~-Ws find the following In
the Wilkinson Wing of the LIST inst, published in
Woodvie, Miss.
During the last few days. report has been in
circulation in our vicinity to the following effect:
Ii is stated that on Friday last, as three children
we're returning TO their home from school, near
Liberty, in Amite county, they were overtaken by
a pack of dogs in pursuit of runaway negroes
The dogs fell upon them, and, before assistance
could be rendered, killed and nearly deroured every
one Of them! The father ofthe children, hearing
their screams and the barking OF the dogs, ran
out with his gun and succeeded in killing two of
them. At this time the owner of the dogs rode
up and threatened to shoot the father if he shot any
more of the dogs. The distressed father reloaded
his gun and deliberately shot the owner of the
dogs through the heart, after which he gave
himself up, was tried and discharged. We have
not heard the names ofany of the parties
We know that such stories grow as they
travel; and we sincerely hope that the reports
that have reached us in this case are exaggera-
ted

The provisions of the i2th section art. IV,)
requiring each House to keep and publish jour-
nal Of its proceedings, and securing to one fifth
of the members the privilege of having the yeas
and nays recorded on any question, are not in
the present State constitution, and are borrowed
from the federal constitution, which, however, al.
lows either House of Congress not to publish such
parts of their proceedings Gas may in their judy
ment require secrecy" The provision Of the
same section, that "No bill shall become law
untilit has been read on three different days Of
the session in the house in which it originated,
unless two.thirds of the members elected TO that
house shalotherwise determine" is derived from
the constitution of some other State.
The 18th section relates to the apportonment
of Congressional districts prescribing the federal
basis therefor) and is entirely like the correspond
ing provision of the present Constitution. We be-
lieve there was in the Convention no whisper of
opposition to the rule thus continued for the cleo
ton of representatives in Congress, though half a
year was spent in warm contention about the ap-
pcaton of a similar rule to the State Legisla
turc. The succeeding section (the l4th) re-
curing the Congressional districts to be formed of
contiguous counties and towns, and to be compact.
and divided equally on the federal basis, is new
feature, and was obviously designed to prevent the
odous practice Of "gerrymandering;" but. unfor-
tunately, the discretion unavodably given to the
Legislature to determine what is comprehensive,
leave. wide scope for the modern study of poll
teal geography.
