The election to-day has resulted in
the choice Of Robertson (deh1.) for
judge in the place Of Larue, and Of
Mccormick for the seat in the lower
house, in the place of Col. Slater
There has been very little excitement
and one would not have known that
an election had been held, unless told
SO by some one else. | have not yet
heard all the particulars of the tub
ming down Of the Pearl, by the Nat
chez, though from all can learn the
Pearl will be total wreck and loss
The New Orleans and Vera Cruz
Steamer Line will have an addition of
two new steamers in about two weeks,
when it is very confidently expected
that the mail will be regularly trans
'nitted from here to San Francisco in
about Is days. This will be great re-
duction Of time; and it seems 1 little
strange that we cannot as well have a
regular daily o4. weekly or senli-weckly
mail from here to the Ohio and Mis-
souri, river towns, as between New Or
leans and San Francisco. The great
Glover d Mather contract has fell

The 7. NJ. General has seen fit tosah-
nul that arrangement, the scheme for

Nessrs. Glover u Mather; but If Mr..
Campbell had ever run steamboat
IN the Mississippi, he would alter his
Jews very quick. 1t costs on an aver
'ge $4,000 per trip to run an ordinary
lied steamboat from Cincinnati to N
orleans and back, and if she run reg
llarly the year round she would not
make an average more that one per
mouth, SO that one steamer alone
would not cost less than $4,000 per
Innum to run her, and it would require
It least 20 boats at the same cost each,
md ten others at about the same, TO
perform the service wei and as it
hould be done. Now, how does Mr..
Campbell or any other sane man ex-
,ect that $35O,OOO, or even 100000
YER annum will be enough to give the
,reat and growing West those facili-
les by mail, which her interests and
Ter business requiress Congress can
ote 100000 to one man to aid him
n his Ocean Steamer enterprise, and
pay him for carving part Of the
