MAJ. ANDREWS. We are extremely happy to find
the late California mails dispense the clouds of doubt
and apprehension which have for the last month
hung the fate Of this gallant young officer and
his command.
We have been allowed perusal of the private let
tiers from Maj Andrews, and gratifed to learn he
has only been exposed to the privaons and dangers
incident 10 his profession and which the promptness
and courage of the American soldier readily
and forgets but regret to add the Major expresses
the opinion that the exigencies of the service will
keep him in honorable Punishment from the civil
Ized world for at least the next IL months. In the
mean time hope to be able to lay before our
readers his of that Terra incognita about the
head of California Gulf and the mouth of the Color
ado. We believe Maj. A. is the first scientific gem

of trash that, especially before Fillmore and Gra

that his article should have some influence the

should not have been much surprised to have
such article from the young man of the Register,

And what may be reasonably anticipated from
the election, for example, Of General Scott,

gether upon trust! A vain man, weak
headed soldier, with no foresight, no prescience
of future events no will or policy Of his own, he
will, of cour, SO, BIO subject to the instruments Of
his election. His administration, even to a great
or degree than that Of General Taylor, will
fall under the magn influence Of Seward and
his clique, resulting most probably in the com
plete alienation of the North and the South the
destruction of all national parties, and the crea
ton Of two great sectional factions, IA hostile in
sentiment and in policy as Northern abolition
and Southern slavery.
Let the South look to it. The harmony of
the Union can only be restored by Cancellation
and Northern forbearance. and good faith upon
the slavery question. Abolitiop votes will be
purchased dearly upon any terms. The true
policy of the Sonth is plain. 1t is required of
both parties of the North distinct recogni-
ton of their rights and distinct assurance of
their social security from abolition incendiares
and their designs. Failing in these assurances Of
protection and safety, it will be the duty of the
South to fall back upon ticket or two tickets,
OF their own, SO as to throw the election into
the House of Representatives, where, each
State being entitled TO one vote, they will have
the power OF shaping the President and the
policy OF his administration. The game is in
their hands. Let them look to it in time.

SENATOR SouLE.-A Spanish lady, writing from
Washington, mentions, that at large party she
met Gen. Scott, who introduced "the famous
Soule, the great radical member from Louisiana :"
She says "Mr. Souleis the idol of the Washing

fascinating in his conversation. He has that
dangerous compound ofthe French wit and Creole
suavity, ofacute perception and brilliant magma

The New York Journal Of Commerce makes
the following comments on the Connecticut
election:
CoSNEcTIcUT ELEcTioN.-The Democrats
have considerable majority in both branches
of the legislature, which secures them the Gov
ernor (SeymourO in case he is not chosen by
the people, and also u United States Senator
as successor to Roger s. Baldwin, wing
whose term expired on the 4th of March last.
A good "compromise" Democrat will be elected,
without doubt.
The Abotionists kept up their struggling
fire, as usual, and will figure up some $500
votes in the whole State.
AS both the leading parties, at their nomina-
ting conventions, Endorsed the compromise
measures, that question was not distinctly before
the people; but in lieu of it was the Maine
temperance law. The Wings were understood
to favor the adoption of that law in Connecticut,
and the Democrats to oppose it. Many votes
were transferred from one party to the other on
that ground. But the balance of the account,
in the State Mt large, is in favor of the Demo-
Gratis. In New Haven, we are inclined to think
tie Wings were gamers by the operation. An
immense vote was there poled-3,56 500 in the
aggregate--and the Wing plurality on governor
was 400, and on representatives 568. The rep
resentatves chosen are Stephen ID. Pardee and
Timothy Lester
Hartford polled 1929 votes, giving a. Demo
cratic plurality on governor, of 376. Hartford
is the residence of Governor Seymour. The
representatives elected in Hartford, are Isaac
Toucey and James B. Crosby, Democrats The
Hartford COurant attributes the 'untoward"
result in that town to the temperance question.
Says that paper, at is true, that we got some
votes from the Democratic ranks; but where
one of that class went for our candidate, three
Wings left u.s. A large number of Wings
resolutely refused to 60 to the polls"

South Carolina.

The South Carolinian contains the following
reference to the probable proceedings of the
convention soon to meet in that State:
The CoNvENTIoN.-The Unionvile journal
thus concludes an article on what the convention
might do:
I'VE are persuaded that, notwithstanding the
past, that convention may do much towards sus
tanning the character and honor of the State.
Although they cannot carry out that measure
which most of the members were pledged to
advocate previous to their election, nevertheless
they may, by manly, dignifed course of legis-
iation, still uphold the dignity of the State.
Since the first division of parties amongst u.s.
there has been a small faction opposed to all re-
s'stance. This party first struggled into life in
a notorious mountain region in this State
Curses, loud and deep, sprung from every por
ton OF the State, when it was known that there
existed those within our borders who not only
opposed separate secession, but even advocated
and approved the compromise.
But what change has taken place since
then That party, then small and contemplate
in point of numerical strength, has increased
until now the number of UnOnsta, compromise
men. or call them what you may, in South Caro-
lima, is neither small or powerlese
We say, therefore. the convention can dc
much towards preventing the formation of q
great Union party in our State. They may
by taking proper steps towards an expression
OF the trne sentiments of the majority of the
people, crush this party no'o-they may put the
seal OF their condemnation upon it's members
and their principles---and thus, though South
carolina may not be taken out of the Union
she may still keep up that spirit Of opposition
10 us measures which was once SO universal
throughout her borders. And when the time
'hall come, when the entire Soukh, irritated and
exasperated beyond endurance by further en-.
croachments upon their rights, and shall rise
up and declare their determination to dissolve
union which has been only an engine of op-
preston to her, South Carolina will be nmongst
the foremost in the struggle, and her patriotic
efforts will not be without their reward"
