Loss OF STEAMER GLESDY BUrKE.-Thc st.
Louis Republican of the 2Gth says:
Our attentive correspondent at Cairo, Mes
srs Fowler & Norton, inform us that the fine
steamer Glendy Burke, from ST. Louis for New
Orleans, struck snag in the Mississippi river,
opposite Ohio City, at half past one o'clock OF
ing very fast, and was run on a bar and sunk
Her bow lies in eight feet, and her stern in
eighteen feet water, The supposition was
that she could not be raised. The boat was in
sured mostly in Louisville office, and as she was
not old, the loss must be heavy.
The Glendy Buke was not regular trader
to this port, but she had obtained fine cargo
of produce, and the loss Of freight will fall
heavily oh our offices. Yesterday morning the
Sultana was along side, taking out her freight.

TAKE NOTICE The American party have
elected eighteen members Of Congress in New
York; the Democrats but two We have Ia
ken pains to ascertain the political complexion
of those elected in that State, and have heard
of eleven Of those elected by the American par
ty. All of whom we feel assured, are sound on
the slavery question, and opposed to any fur
ther agitation of the slavery question, whatever
may have been their opinion as to the proprie-
ty ola repeal Of the Missouri Compromise.
Wheeler, Walk, strauchan, Clark, Edwards,
Williams Havens and Morgan. Of the other
seven, we have heard nothing. We have now
before US two letters from Mr.. Whitney, one Of
the gentlemen above mentioned, to Mr.. W. c.
Scott, Of this city, which settles this point.
OF the two elected by the Democratic party,
one is said to be sound on the slavery question;
the other, from Preston Kings district, is said
to be as arrant an abolitionist as Preston King
imself-Richmond Whig.

9 Our municipal election came off last
Monday, which resulted, with one exception,
in the complete triumph of the Native Ameri-
can ticket. Capt Henry B. Chase was chosen
Mayor, and Messrs. Chapman, Marston, Ward
and Langworthy, Aldermen. Mr.. Marston is
Wing. Considerable interest was taken in
the election, and the excitement was warm.
Both parties mustered all the forces they could
command. The whole affair passed off very
orderly-not drunken man was seen about
the polls. Capt. Chase's majority was seven
teen over I. N. Lemon, the candidate Of the
opposition. Mr.. Lemon is very popular
young man, and perhaps the most available
candidate his party could have selected.

CHEF JusrlcE.-By request We announce
the name Of James N. Elan, Of Baton Rouge,
candidate for Chief Justice. Mr.. Elam we
have long known by reputation, and can say
many fine things for his talents, his integrity
as a man, and abilities as a lawyer, did our
space permit
The name of Judge Merricls stands at the
head Of our column, but in case that gentle
man Jour first choice) does not run, we will
support Mr. Elan cheerfully. Our prin-
ciple is to support the best and most capable
men for every office, and we are bitterly op-
posed to allowing party considerations to enter
into the election of our administrative offices.

Locoroco Know -NoTHlSos-Th Ohio Stat
Journal gives portion of the proceedings o
the Sag NIGHTS" recently assembled in State
Council at Columbus. Password-"The Coun
trys Safe" Proper sign-thumb through the
buttonholc of the left lapel of the coat. Gen.
Wilson, the president, stated he had organized
1l5 lodges, and visited every county in the
State He complimcntcd Pierce and Campbell's
Marshals for the liberal facilities afforded him,
in the shape of free tickets and contributions.
The password "'The Country's Safe" is a
plagiarism upon one of the American Orders
which adds--''in the hands of the Native born.
The sign of the same order is-the right thumb
placed on the right side of the nose, with the
fingers performing three revolutions. Explain
ation-"can't come it-defy old hunkers, Ouch
and Greeks combined" We hope to escape
assassination for divulging this important Sc
cret.
We should like to know in what language
lish German, or in the Gallo dialect. We sup
pose they have interpreters to overcome this
difficulty of course, as the following solioquy,
drawn from ''Ssg Nicht," by an unexpected
encounter with "know Nothing" ghost,
would seem to make it necessary to be prepar-
ed for mastering the confusion which ''Babel
of tongues" must create in the Order:-

Virginia Election.

The full returns have not yet been received,
but there is little doubt but that Mr.. Wise is
elected Governor by a majority of some ten
thousand votes. This race has been looked to
with much anxiety by all parties, and an undue
importance has been attached to the conse-
quences which would result from it. By many
it has been looked to as that "grand event"
which would decide the fate Of "Native Ameri-
canism." Particularly are the Old Fogy poll
ticians wont to take this view Of the matter,
who, accustomed as they are to consider the
"spois and plunder of Office" the chief end Of
party organizations, think that the new party
experiment will appear in the light of failure,
and no doubt they indulge the fond imaginings
that they would soon see the members fly in
terror and confusion from the failing party"
as rats from an old barn on fire. Such view
is one of the prejudices Of their education, and
let them at onco be undeceived. Our purpose
is not the elevation of those men to Office
whom we may delight to honor, but meas
ures and principles we contend for, which,
when carried, will lop off the excrescences
which have grown up on some of our institu-
tions, sapping their very life and existence,
and which, when thoroughly established in
the administration policy of our country, will
more perfectly complete the ends and uses of
our Government.
If the aims to which our party are strug-
Cling could be measured by the standard of
dollars and cents, or official honors, the result
Of the election in Virginia would, indeed, have
tremendous influence on the success of the
new party throughout the country. But the
defeat Of our party in any particular locality,
will have no effect whatever on the doctrines
we advocate, which are seated as firm in their
impregnable truth as the eternal hills on their
foundations. How is it possible for the poll
tics Of Virginia to have any control over those
in Louisiana? The State sovereignties are as
independent Of each other as the whole is of
the monarchies of the old world. That man
who would allow others to think for him has
but little mind of his own. The election in
Virginia will have just about ss much effect on
the political movements in our State as the
election Of Hottentot Chief would have.

RUSSIA AND TuRKEY.-The past sometimes
serves as key to the future; and the motives
which influence the conduct of individuals and
the policy Of nations, are often exposed by the
expressions of feeling or principle which may
have improvidently escaped them. The most
consummate villain may utter sentiments of
the most exalted virtue-the expression Of
which, in the inexplicable web of human
things, may become the most startling evidence
Of his guilt. Judging from the past, the
present demands of Russia against Turkey are
not of recent origin. The object which is now
manifested by the Russian diplomacy has been
entertained by that damnablc absoluteism since
1923.
NJ. de Chateaubriand in his speech of Feb
1928, in the French Chamber of Deputies, de-
clared that he had conference with the En-
peror of Russia at Verona, in which that au-
gust sovereign uttered sentiments which ap.
peared to him so precious that he Immediately
FASTENED home and wrote down while yet
fresh in his recollection:
1.-THE Emperor declared" said he, "that
there can no longer be any such thing as an
English, French, Russian, Prussian, or Austri-
an policy; there is but one policy which, for
the safety Of all, should be adopted both by
people and Kings. 1t was for me first to show
myself convinced of the principles upon which
founded the alliance; an occasion offered it.
sclf-the rising in greece. Nothing could
occur more to my interests, for the interests
of my people; nothing more acceptable to my
country tAcn religious acar in Turkey"

GRAIN.-The news from Germany in rea
ton to the grain crops is said to be of very
unfavoroble character. The New York Cou
rier, referring to the subject, says:
"The supplies at this time of the year are
usually very small, and the prices not high;
but the accounts from East Prussia, Pone-
rania, Siesia, Mccklenburg and Holstein have
caused great excitement. Rye will give hard
ly oue-half the average. The wheat has been
so much injured by the rust that the enl're
loss of it is feared, whilst the disease OF po-
tatos has been of SO great extent, that the
worst is to be expected. The stock Of old
wheat is entirely exhausted. Under. these
circumstances prices in all the continental
markets, with the exception of Holland, have
considerably advanced. At Berlin, Stettln
and Cologne, for several days, holders had
entirely withdrawn from the market"
