The Rappings Outdone.-The Chilian paper,
Ell Pueblo de Copiapo, which has just arrived
from Calders, in Chill, communicates the follow
ing on the authority of witnesses:
A succession of musical sounds have been
distinctly heard beneath the water, at the dis
lance of a quarter Of q mile from this port.
Every evening about dust, large parties 60 off
IN boats to listen to this mysterious concert of
submarine music. The tones are various, and
80 well combined as to produce perfect harno-
ny; and the sound in its duration and vibration,
resembles the deepest tones of the organ.
Ships crews are daily attracted to the spots,
besides multitudes both of young and old, and
OF men and women, who pass hour after hour
listening to the vibrations which seem to pass
along the keels of the ships, while they enter
tain each other with q thousand curious, proba-
bic, or ridiculous conjectures about the cause
of the phenomenon. Our friend, Mr.. w, as
sures us that on the spot whence this subma-
rine music proceeds, the surface of the water
assumes a deep green color, emitting an eflu-
vium like that which rises from bodies in q
state of putrefaction.

The CITY Election.

Last Monday was an exciting day III New
Orleans. The first election came off under
the Consolidation and Annexation bills-and
the Wings have glorious|y triumphed !--trium-
phed in spite of the independents" and all
other difficulties brought to bear against them.
The Picaynne thus briefly sums up the cheer
ing result:
THE ELECTION.
The election which took place in this city on
Monday resulted in the choice of A. D. Cross
man, ESQ, Wing, for Mayor, by a majority Of
one hundred and fifteen uotes over Gen. John l..
Lewis, Democrat Wing majority Of two in
the upper Board of Aldermen-counting two
"independent" Wings; a Wing Treasurer, a
Wing Comptroller, a Wing Street Commission
er, a Wing City Surveyor, one Wing Recorder,
and a majority of fifteen Wings in the Board
of Assistant Aldermen. The Democrats cleo
ted three Recorders, as follows J. L. Winter,
for the First District, (late Second Municipai-
tv;) Joseph Genois, for the Second District,
0ate First Municipality and p. Senzeneaux,
for the Third District, (late Third Municipal
ty.) Mr.. Vaught, elected Recorder of the
Fourth District, (Iate Lafayette0 is a Wing,
and beat MIR. Bouli5ny, also 0 Wing, nineteen
votes.
The following is the concluding portion Of
a letter which we received from our correspon-
dent in the city, who will probably continue
his favors to our journal. Speaking Of the
election, he says:
* # n "a few renegades from the Wing
party were picked up by the Democrats. and made
willing tools to defeat the regular ticket. but they
have failed in all points. Mr.. James Robb was a
candidate on all three tickets, lin shame to the
Wing party be it saidD and he is elected as a rnat-
ter OF course. A large amount Of money has been
expended, and / could name some this morning
who would like to recall the transactions of the
past lew days. Two newspapers, to my certain
knowledge, Were bought as you would buy a ne
gro or a bale of cotton-but, unfortunately for
them, the "Independent Ticket was not elected.
The steamer Cherokee arrived this morning

able to reach Panama in fourteen hours.

provement. He projected the railroad from St.
Petersburg to Moscow, 45o miles long, which
was made by American engineers, and others
will shortly be built. Russia is good country
for railroads, as it has plenty Of iron. The
present Emperor has three sons and W
daughters. The eldest is called Alexander,
oIter the name OF his uncle. He is a man Of
great promise, and is better educated than his
father. Twenty millions Of serfs belong to
to the Emperor, and twenty six millions to the
nobles-forty-cight millions bought and sold
with the lands. Nineteen millions are not serfs.
1t is the wish of the Emperor Nicholas to lib.
crate the serfs, but the power lies in the hands
of the mobiles, and it is dangerous ground for,
him to tread upon.

Mr.. Filmore'S Adminisration.-The Wash

Congress to assail a single act of Mr.. Fillmore's
administration The gauntlet was not picked
up. The Union came to the rescue, republish.
ed the challenge, and called upon the Demo.
cratic members Of Congress to face the music
The music as yet is not agreeable to the taste
of any Of the gentlemen. Nor will it be, We
presume.
Though the present administration has been
assailed by demagogues eager to grasp the
spoils, it has met with the appreciation, we be-
lieve, of the main body ofthe people-thepeo
pie of the South, at least. It could not be
otherwise. Mr.. Fillmore, since he became
President, has pursued the even tenor of his
way, and has administered the government, re-
CARELESS of the opposition of factions, North
and South. He has endeavored to discharge
his duty, in accordance with his oath, and the
tenets of the constitution. There has been no
scheming for the Presidency, on his part. With
him, that was an Interior consideration, If, in
deed, he desired it at all. His acts are before
his countrymen, and by their decision, he is
willing to abide. So writes the editor Of tie
