Glorious Democratic VictOry!-Iliinois Car
 rled by the DemOcrats!-Judge Douglas
 sustained.-Bring out the Big Gun!
 We have the inexpressible pleasure of an- nouncing to our readers this morning that, amid the general defection of democratic States, Ili- nols, the home of the gallant DOUGLAS, remains faithful to her democratic faith. Although that distinguished Senator had the most bitter, vn- dlctlve opposition to contend with that was ever arrayed agalnst any man in this country, he has glorlously sustained himself at home by tli- dmphant majority. The Chicago rioters are most etectually rebuked. For weeks Mr.. DOUGLAS has been traversing the State, making speeches at every point upon the merits of the \ Nebraska bill, and the results of his labors are seen Ill the glorious returns. The surges of fla natlclsm, of every kind, have beat against Ill- nols In vain. handsome majority of her people have declared in favor of the Nebraska bill, and of civil and religious liberty for all.- The democracy of the whole Union will extend ther congratulations to MT. DOUGLAS for his extraordinary and unexpected triumph over his political enemies. The opposition, although they have gained some tremendous victories thls year, will feel chagrined that they have failed to beat the author of the Nebraska bill In his own State. MT. DOUGLAS will return to Washington backed up by the people of Illinois, The abolitionists have resorted to the most in- credible and unprecedented efforts to beat him, but have ignominously failed. All honor, say We, to the glorious democracy of Illinois, and to thelr lllustrlous representative in the United States Senate STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
 What now becomes of the lying whig tele- graphic dispatches, that Illinois has been car ried by the fusonists by large majority? We learn from the Chicago Times of the 18th that the democratic victory is complete. RICHARD SON, HARRIS, ALLEN, MARSHALL and TRUM- BULL, democrats, have been elected to Congress, being majority of the delegation The four first named are Nebraska men-one of them beating YATES, who voted against that measure in the last House. MOORE, the democratic Treasurer, has been elected by 5000 majority which ss the true test of the party strength, he being the only officer who ran over the whole State. The majority for RICHARDSON is 8S4- C0a. Enquirer.

The ships company consisted of myself, first mate, second mate, physician, steward, cook, carpenter and twenty three seamen, all of whom were saved except the steward and doctor, who were drown ed in the cabin before left the ship ship ped the steward in Boston, think his name was George A. Drew. There were two genteel- Renselier and MT. Baney from Reding, Penn left for New York this morning.
 Among the lost was the physician of the yes. sel, who shipped with me in Bremen. A young lady, who was called Miss Doeretti, was wash ed off and drowned before left the ship. We usually made the passage in thirty-fve to forty days, but owing to succession of gales from the westward, and very heavy weather we were in our forty-sixth day when striking the beach, some 25O yards from the shore. The present condition of the ship is as follows: She lies embedded in the sand, submerged in the water, and no doubt is stranded and bilged- The keel of the ship was found on the beach some distance above the vessel, and probably her bottom is knocked out. The ship was built about six months ago, and this was her frs voyage. Before we left Bremen, the choler; made its appearance on board of the ship, anG one passenger died before leaving port. The last death on board the ship with cholera was last Sunday.
 Annexed is correct list of all on board the ship, as given by Captain Henry in his state.
