CHARLESTON, Oct. 10th, 1852.
The election is over, and with it the hopes aud
aspirations Of many who would willingly devote
portion Of their tmo and talents to the service Of the
State for the consideration Of three dollars DAY.
and find their own cigars, pindars and cocktails
But on the other hand there are a soodly number
eighteen at least, who arc altogether satisfied, and
seemed disposed to be exceedingly well pleased with
the result and arc willing 10 charge il to Tire wisdom
and good taste of tho " FREQ and independent"
voters of the city Of Charleston, whose fame for
cultivation, taste and refinement has gone out
through al the country round about There was an
independent ticket run, composed of those who
stood pledged to give their influence, and vote for
the measure of giving the election Of electors to the
people, and fourteen ont Of eighteen, composing the
ticket, were elected. So You may expect strong
pull from Charleston in favor of the proposed change.
We have had almost every variety Of weather du-
ring the past week, from tho intense heat of sum-
mer, to the chilly winds of October The early
part Of the week was hot enough TO DO credit to the
middle of July, but on Thursday night change
took place "whle We all slumbcred and slept" and
some of us roso while it was yet dark, to look for
additional blankets. Friday morning broke upon US
with brisk and chilly North-easter, which suddenly
brought firos and winter clothing into rcputc; and
throughout the day our citizens wore their coats but
toned and preferred the sunny side Of tho street.
A few degrees lower would bring still born
Charleston frost, which are generally puny affairs at
best. But any thing in tho shape of a frost now
would be perfect Godsend, for nothing else will f.
nally rid us Of our present troublesome visitor.
The Yellow Fever seems to be on the increase if
any thing Tnc daily report ending Thursday night,
o'clock, showed a>list of eight deaths, which is
quite an increase over tho preceding four or five
days. The Hospital is still crowded, and new cases
are coming in every day.. Its rayHscs are principal

Thursday there was still further decline Of s-,hc

to some extent this last decline to the circumstance
of many of our buyers being in attendance at Court

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATEs.-We learn
from the New York Evening Times of Monday,
that orders was received from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington on Saturday night, direct
ing the sloop-of.war Cyane, G. N Hollins CON-
lnander, to prepare Immediately for sea, and to
sail for Havana at the earliest moment possible.
AS the Cyane had just arrived from Norfolk,
she was ready for sea, and accordingly took her
departure on Sunday morning. She was towed
outside the Hook, in order to get fair breeze,
aud is now on her way to Cuba. 1t is also re-
ported that the U. S. steam frigate Mississippi
has been ordered TO follow the Cyane with all
despatch.
The object Of this movement, although moth
ing certain ean be known IN regard to it, cannot
be difficult of. conjecture. The Times says: .
ave take it for granted that the eemlnan-
ders Of these vessels viii be instructed to avoid
everything which can give the Spanish authori-
ties the slightest ground of just complaint, but
at the same time to resist and rspel, at every
hazard, aud by all needful measures, every at.
tempt 10 exercise undue authority over vessel,
of the United States, or to infringe in any way
the rights and privileges to which American
citizens in Cuba are entitled"

FACTS AND REFLECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS have passed off in our State very
quietly Federal Politics has had nothing to do with
the result, and State politics very little. 1t is highly
gratifying to witness the noble manner in which the
dssensions of last year have been buried in most OF
the Districts. We have not examined the Returns
with view to ascertain which Of the late Parties
has now the preponderance in Legislative council.
But, from casual glances, Of the opinion tina,
they are as nearly equal as they should be.
The GOVERNOR of South Carolina has called an
extra session. Of the Legislature recently elected, to
cast the electoral vote Of the State for President and
yice-President of the United States tPIERcE and
KING will assuredly receive that vote) 1t is pro-
posed to this extra session into the regular session.
As there questions Of much importance TO be
settled this winter, which may consume considerable
time in the details, we no good reason for
opposing this proceeding. From what we learn, it
will probably be carried.
LOUIS NAroLEoN has made the tour Of the De.
partments in France with unbounded eclat. 1t is
thought tLat the Empire will be speedily declared.
Several deeply and dangerously laid plots to take the
life os the e1pectant Emperor have been detected by
the Police and frustrated The Fates and the People
are thus far on LOUIS side.
1HE RIVALRY between Indllebton anu
is growing bitter if one may judge from the sParrng

which has more Of Yellow Fever. We'would advise
them both get up another interchange of military
civilities and Z" fling physic TO the dogs"
