We do not think there is shadow of doubt but
that Bashford has majority of from six to eight hun
bred for Governor ON the popular vote. And until
recently we have had no doubt but the State Can
vassers would so declare, and Issue the certificate
without hesitation accordingly. We are beginning,
however tothnk otherwise so far as the canvassers
and certifcate are concerned. fhe atticeappcnded

~ Congrcss meets on Monday next. The
popular impression that the anti-slavery party
has a clear majority in the House of Representa-
tycs will probably prove to be a mistake. No
doubt there is majority opposed TO the admin
but the causes Of opposition are so nu
merous that no common ground of union exists
The Know othings. inspirited by recent sue
cesses, are actively at work to secure the organs
ization of the House, and our prediction is they
will partially if not wholly succeed The com
ing session of Congress bids fair to prove an ex-
citing and stormy one, and will accomplish no
thing. There was time in the history of the
country when the mission of Congress was to
make laws and devise measures for the good of
the country, but that time if not entirely gone by
has passed for the present atleast. Its business
of late years, and particularly during the ante
presidential election session, has been only to
intrigue in relation to the disposal of the offices,
honors, and cmolumcnts of government This
session, we are inclined to think, win be very
largely employed in that way, and very little in
any other. We look for better state of things
in national matters at some period, but not until
principles very different from those which now
prevail, are in the ascendant. ssastE .e.kt

RUSSIAN VIEWS OF THE SEIGE-'rhe
Inralide Russe publishes a remarkable
article, four columns long, under the head
ing: s.Will Sevastopol be Taken!' 1t is
free from bragadocio, and concludes with
expressing the conviction that the fortress
is impregnable, although it confesses that
the allies would have inevitabl taken it,
had they assaulted it from the position
they now occupy, on the morrow Of the
day they arrived there. 1t says Sevasio-
pol can replace one hundred dismounted
guns in a night, or exchange $4,000 ia
tigued troops against so, GOO fresh troops;
that the allies cannot, with double the
force they dispose of, cut off the commune
cation by Perekop; that the Russian army.
fighting for its country and its sovereign,
is animated by better spirit than is the
heterogeneous mass of French, English,
Turks, Egyptians and Sardinians, conten-
ding for an abstract idea, and for a con-
fused Interpretation Of the duties of civil
ization; that four days alter the tremen-
dous bombardment of the 25th of March,
Sevastopol was stronger than before; that
at this moment the daily allied losses are
greater, and those of the garrison less,
than ever before. 1t goes OH to show
the tremendous preparations for the re.
ception of the enemy, if it succeed in OBJ
tanning momentary foothold.
The Paris Constitutional affects to con.
slider this article as desperate effort to re.
assure the people Of St. Petersburg, and
offers as reply to toi the weston, will
Sevastopol be taken! the sentiment that
it will. The, Allies have not learned
wisdom by experience, and are as ready
to-day to underrate their enemy as on the
18th of October.

American Nominations.

On Friday last the American party Of
L.afourche met in convention in Thibo-
daux, for the purpose Of nominating parish
officers, and candidates for the State Leg
islature: and the following gentlemen were
selected: For Sheriff, HENRY E. LEDEr;
Clerk of the District Court. LEUFRoY
DAUS1s; Assessor, LOUIS E. LAMoUREUx;
Coroner, JEAN Ross1.
Messrs. r. HARANG and Col. Jos. w.
WILLIAMS, were then nominated for the
House of Representatives. Col. H. M.
TA1BoDAUx, of Terebonne, was nomi-
mated by the American party Of this sena-
torial district, for the State Senate, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Hon. P. B. KEY.
We stated, in our last issue, that Col.
J. B. ROBERTSON, had received the nom-
ination of the American party of Terre-
bonnie, for Representative. The ticket,
so far as our own parish is concerned, is a
strong one, and gives general satisfaction.
Col. Robertson has, as yet, no opposition;
and we suppose, wi ll have none. In fact,
we can see no use, if the Boosting of the
K. Ms has any foundation in fact, of the
opposition bringing forward candidate.
Col. Thibodaux has one of the strongest
men in Lafourche, as his opponent, ADAM
BEATTY, Esq, and if the American party
expect to triumph, they must work-work
hard. -.4-.
We are not little amused at the way
things are done in Lafourche. In the first
place the antics called convention, nom-
mated Mr.. HARANG, and he is endorsed
by the convention as safe and reliable
anti. Mr.. H. declines accepting the nom.
nation; but the antics have not yet sup.
piled his place on their ticket-at least
we have not heard of their doing so.
The American party of Lafourehe.
considering Mr.. H. "a. R. o. TIC. o.
nominate him as their candidate, and he
is endorsed by their convention.
We wouldn't be surprised if he is
elected. Wonder if the gentlemen who
brought about his nomination in the firsl
convention will support him, now that he
nominated by Sans friends7 Sam has
a way of telling who are his friends, and
seldom gets into difficulties; while his op.
ponents sometimes get their fingers burnt
by meddling with things that don't belong
to them.

HOU NJ A:
THURSDAY. September -, 1855
Daily Mail.

1t seems that everything in Terreboone
is keeping pace with that great impetus
which the railroad, which is now running
through our flourishing parish. has created.
The proper authorities have been appealed
to, and with every probability of success,
for change Of our mail route to Houma.
Besides the change proposed for the con-
veyance Of the mail, by the railroad, it is
proposed to have daily mail at this point.
If this important change is brought about,
there will be enterprising gentlemen ready
and willing to run regular mail and pas
senger coach from Houma to the railroad
crossing. This will afford a facility for
travelling which we have so long needed.
Indeed so inconvenient and expensive is
travelling with US now, that nothing short
Of business Of the most pressing character
can induce us to leave home at all. As
matters stand with us now, these who hap.
pen not TO be fortunate enough to be pro-
vided with conveyances Of their own, can
reach the crossing only at an expense o.
four and half to five dollars. These are
Houma charges for horse and buggy-add
to this, two dollars for railroad travel, and
a trip to the city Of New Orleans will cos1
seven dollars. 1t is not therefore strange
that travelling in our parish is so limited
Make the facilities easy,and we increase
travelling.
The mail coach running in connection
with the railroad, will in great measure
remedy this Inconvenience. As soon as
the fare from Houma to the crossing is
brought within proper limits, say dolla,
and half to two dollnrs, then travelling
will be the order Of the day. Independ
emily ofi:s cheapness, its convenience viii
conduce a great deal to bringing about
such result. Let, therefore, travelling be
cheaper and more frequent, and then we
will be acting in accordance with the
spirit Of our progressive age.

awful extent. On the 10th, there had

30 or 40 cases then on hand.
There haqe been five cases and two
deaths in Yazoo City.
Plaquemine has been visited by tho fe.

OUR PAPER.

A few days since, one of or subscri-
bers called in and paid his subscription,
and after questioning US in regard the
prospects of the Ceres, informed US that
it was the opinion Of some that our paper
will be short-lived; or, in other words, it
would blow out, and that they were afraid
to pay eren sir months subscription, for
fear the publication of the paper would be
suspended before the time expired.
Now, we don't stand particularly in
need Of money. and as we don't believe
we have subscriber on our list but what
will pay, when he becomes satified that
our enterprise is permanent, we are indif.
ferent as to whether they pay in advance
or not; yet we will assure them that our
paper is in most fourishing condition,
will, in point Of prosperity, compare very
favorably with any other country paper in
the State. We have large and increas-
ing subscription, and our advertising pa
tronage, though small at present, is fast
increasing. We venture the assertion,
that there is not country paper in this
State, or elsewhere, no older than the
Ceres, that has a better circulation, or in
a more prosperous condition every way.
There are croakcrs, who are not subscri-
bers to our paper. who have been prophe-
cying our downfall, ever since we first
started, but we have weathered the storm
so far, and the prospect of continuance is
very dattering. In the last named cases,
we are Of the opinion that ''the ,cish is
