Later from California.
NEW YORK, Nov. Is.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.
The steamer George Law arrived early this
morning. -
She brings San Francisco dates of the
Goth ult., Aspinwall of the Sd, and upwards
of ST GOO, 900 in treasure. She connected
with the Golden Age, which brought down
nearly 100000.
News from California rather meagre.
The Democratic primary elections in San
Francisco county had resulted in favor Of the
Broderick faction. The Republicans had
withdrawn their county ticket and adopted
the peoples nominations.
A collision had occurred in Clinton Valley
Medina county, between the Whites and In
dian cattle thieves. A number Of the latter
were killed.
Advices from Southern California state
that Ex-Gov. Gunday had attempted to rev.
olutionize Sonora, but was baffled and had
| fled to the Indians.
Diplomatic relations had been suspended
between England and New Grenada in con
sequence of the latter government failing tt
liquidate the Macintosh claim.
The British West India fleet had been or
dered there to enforce the claim.

New York.

Under the head of s'Our State" the New
York Tribune of the 18th, makes the follow
ing resume of the glorious result in New
York:
The majority of Fremont over Buchanan
is now up to IS 700, and is likely to go tri-
file higher yet. Over Fillmore, Fremont has
now 10000, and is likely to increase it a
little. But that is enough Kings majority
over Parker for Governor will certainly ex-
coed $4,000. Over Brooks it is at least
100000. The rest of the Republican State
Ticket runs little better than King.
Coagess.-Messrs. Bennett, Spinner, Muir
ray, E. B. Morgan, Dodd, j. NJ. Parker, Gen
A. P. Granger, and in short nearly every
Republican Member who stood for reelection
out of this city and Brooklyn, is elected by a
vast majority. In Oneida, Mr.. Matteson
had to contend with 'fusion' OF Demo
Gratis and Know-Nothings on the same can
didate, but he beat them by $500 majority.
Mr.. Bennett met similar coalition in the
Chenango District, and beat it by a still
larger majority. And in the strong Demo
cratic district composed of Otsego and Della
ware in which the three parties were about
even last year, Mr.. Morse, the Republican
candidate encountered both the adverse par
ties, combined on single candidate G.. O.
Gregory and beat them handsomely. Two
years since, the Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, a
Free-Soil Democrat who had opposed the
Nebraska bill throughout, was run out by
the Hon. Fransis S. Edwards Ok. N. }, who
received l ,676 minority. Now they were a
second time rival candidates, and Fentou
has beaten Edwards by at least 4, 900 major
ity.
Legislature.-We cannot yet give the names
of all the members elect, but they will stand
about 80 Republican, Sc Buchanan, and
X. N. The X. MS are in Duchess, in
Delaware, l in Erie, in Greene, 2 in the
city, in Otsego, l in Rensselaer,, l in Suf
folk, in Sullivan and Gin Ulster. Several
of these are Buccaneers very thinly dis
guised, and are elected by all adverse to the
Republicans.
In this city, Samuel 7. Roberts (Dem. }
and not George Opdyke (Rep.) is the Mem
Der elect from the XVIth District, compris-
ing the XVIIIth and XXIst Wards. Nc
Republican is returned from this city, though
fair vote would give us several. John II
Ketchum (Republican), appears to be chosen
from the lst District Of Duchess County
instead of Albert Emous buchanan
| West and north of Albany, no Member OF
Congress and hardly Member of Assem-
bly, is chosen who is not Republican. Scho-
hare County is Buchanan, but all the other
Counties in the District are Republican, and
have chosen Clark B. Cochrane to Congress
| by handsome majority.

The LONDON TIMES HoAxED-In sum-
mary of the news by the latest arrived Eu-
ropean steamer, we find that some wag
has imposed on the London Times most
extraordinary hoax on the subject of railway
travelling in the Southern States. The wag
signs himself " an Eye Witness" and, al
though his story is densely confused, its SUBJ
stance is, that, travelling recently in the cars
between Macon and Augusta, Ga, two
young men, A. and B., fell in love with two
young ladies had difficulty c. proposed
that they should fight it out whereupon a
general discussion upon duelling arose con-
ductor stopped thsttrain for d. and E. to
fight, and E. was killed !; G. afterwards
challenged G went into smoking car and
killed him. II. then seized little boy, son
of the slain c took him upon the platform,
killed him and threw him over; whereupon
conductor again stopped the cars and I. kill
ed j K wanted to kill L., but being be-
hind time, the conductor went ahead and
reached Macon, OK. This story is going
the rounds.

POLITICAL ITEMS.
From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. II,

BIssELL AND THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN
TICKET ELEcrED.-There can be no reason
able doubt, we think, that Bissell and the
whole Republican ticket are elected by deci-
sive majoritics. There are but eleven coun-
ties to hear from, two or more Of which will
give Bssell majorities, while those in which
Richardson has hopes, cannot possibly over
come the eleven thousand majority now &C
knowledged as standing to Bissell's credit.
From all of these counties we have reports,
though, doubtless, unreliable. But the fact
that majorities are reported from White,
Hamilton, Saline, &c. ought to be sufficient
evidence that the polls in Egypt are closed,
and that the voting has ceased. If this is
the case, and the returns are not amended
on their way to Springfield, we shall live in
Illinois under Republican State Admins
tration for the next four years, happen what
may at Washington. But let not our read
ers be too confident. The Times is busily
employed in figuring out majority for Rich
ardson; and we have no doubt that other
members of the Border Ruffian party are
doing the same thing.
GLORIOUS New ENGLAND-The six New
England States have elected clean Repub-
lican delegation to Congress of twenty-nine
members, and next spring the Senatorial
delegation will stand eleven to one.
New England has given Fremont the fol
| lowing maiorities:
The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1856-11-22

GREAT BETs.-A Washington correspond
ent of the New York Times, writing on the
Sth, says: "The dispatch purporting to have
been sent hither yesterday by Senator Doug
las, claiming Illinois for Buchanan by 5000
majority, has excited great futtering here.
AS Westinghouse can't vote for President,
they console themselves for their deprivation
by indulging freely in betting upon the re-
suits of a canvass. Immense bets are pend
ing here upon the proposition that Buchanan
would carry all the four States of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Illinois and Indiana. Hence the
excitement in regard to Illinois, as that State
settles the ownership to many thousands of
dollars capital that lies just now quite I'M
productive.'

THURSDAY MORNING, Nov. 20, 1856.
Acquittal of Free state Prisoners.
LEcoMpToN, Nov. 3.


To the Chicago Tribune:-This morning the
Court met, and after the transaction of some
preliminary business, Mr.. Stephens, counsel
for the defence, then made his closing argu-
ment to the jury. 1t was an able effort and
reflected great credit upon tue author
He was followed by Marcus j. Parrot, of
Leavenworth City, senior counsel for the de-
fence. He investigated most thoroughly the
evidence introduced by the counsel for the
Government, exposing their one-sided and
fanatical assumtions, in clear and forcible
manner, evincing the highest legal attain
ments and most thorough acquaintance with
all the incidents connected with the arrest
and trial of the prisoners at the bar.
He was followed by Col. Isaacs, Attorney
General of the Territory, who closed for the
prosecution, in mastery manner, manifest
ing great fairness toward the defendants,
avoiding all personal illusions to their politi-
cal opinions, which cannot be said of his col
leagues in the case. After he had concluded
the Judge gave his charge to the jury. They
retired, and after an absence from the Court
Room of an hour and a half, they returned
with verdict of s'not guilty"
The following named persons were then
released: John L. King, of Brattleboro, VT.
Thomas j. Bowers, of Chillicothe, Ohio; j.
H. York, Buchanan county, Mo-; David Pat
rick, Lexington, Mo-, George N. Neff, Bloom
ington, Illinois; Jesse F. Pyle, Greencastle
Indiana; Justus G. Ketchum, Bloomington
Illinois; James Conley, Half Day, Ill.
The others were sent back to their prison.
house, to await trial for other crimes alleged
against them in the Indictment of the Grand
Jury.
1t is understood here that Judge Lecompte
will adjourn Court on Saturday night, and
those who are not tried before that time will
have to remain in prison until the next term
of Court in April
A term of Court in Judge Cato's district
commences on Monday night, and that is the
reason alledged for the adjournment of this.
Cold weather has already commenced all
day it has been showing, with a high wind
the prison house is very open and uncomfor-
table, and the prisoners suffer considerably.
During the coming winter it will be very Sc
we're upon the prisoners, and also upon the
guard, many of whom are complaining al
ready, denouncing Col. Titus for not per
hitting them to return to their homes in
the South, before navigation on the river
closes. A more homesick looking set ne
yer saw. One of them told me that he had
spent all of his money, had nothing to do
and so he joined Col. Titus militia, wanted
to 60 back to South Carolina, before cold
weather, but could not. l.
He came to vote for slave state, was
promised money to sustain him for year
but they did not fulfil their promise and he
was left without friends, and compelled to
join the militia, or die of starvation.
Judge Lecompte has sentenced Mr.. Balm
ter who was convicted a few days since, for
"assault and battery with intent to Kill" to
six years Imprisonment in the penitentiary
