MONDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1856
Quincy Charter Election.

The anti-Nebraska party obtained a signal
triumph over the Douglasitcs in the charter
election, on the ODD, defeating the rencgate
Singleton for Mayor. They made clean
sweep, electing the Mayor, Marshal, Police
Magistrates, and carried two of the three
wards for Aldermen, John Wood, the cit-
zen's candidate, was elected by decisive
majority over j. w. Singleton, Douglas Ne
braskaite, though recent convert. The
largest vote ever given in the city was cast.
--Galea1 Adv.
Singleton is the man who recently wrote
a letter to the Richmond Enquirer, enGors-
ing the course of Douglas on the Nebraska
Question and asking tie Democracy to ncm-
mate the defunct "Little Giant" for the
Presidency, on tie ground that all the "old
line Wings" of the West would 90 for him.
Singleton claims to be an old line Whig him
SELF but it appears hcwasone'al "going it >
when lie wrote that letter. At least, the
people of Quincy ore not disposed to allow
him to dictate to them on the Nebraska ques-
ton.

Pre- sfdcntial Candidates,

| THE following dispatch reaches us from
the Washington Agency of the Associated
Press. We do not place much emphasis on
this sort of political gossip, but there are
many who like to read it; SO we let it run.-
We think Buchanan is likely to be beaten
by Pierce-Douglas coalition; but he will
show more strength than this dispatch indi-
cltes.-Ea. N. Y. Ialbun1.
WAsHINGToN. Wednesday, April 23, 1856.
Political movements in various parts oil
the Union excite considerable interest here
So far as can be ascertained with regard to
tue Democrats, Douglas Is carrying nearly
the entire North west, and appears to be the
second choice in all the Southern States
where he is not the first choice
| For the Vice Presidency, Howell Cobb is
said to be the most prominent. All who are
f,r either Pierce or Douglas for President
a"e inflexibly against Buchanan. Many del.
egates to the Democratic National Conven.
ton say victory with a candidate who is
issue, would be worthless.
Buchanan has the support of Pennsylvania
| New Jersey and Mary land, with strens tn in
mostly for Pierce, and the South mainly fol
either Douglas or Pierce. 1t may he stated
in this connection that Pierce claims a re-
nomination on the ground that his course on
| the Kansas-Nehraska, and other prominent
questions, should he ndorsed by the Denioc-
racy; and that if any man is taken from the
North it must, IN justice, be himself.
| Prominent Democrats, who have not re-
signed the principle of availability, and who
at this early period, look to compromise ir
&c n.
candidates, have in reserve Gen. Rusk o
Texas.
On the Ant-Nebraska side, Fremont
since the publication of his Kansas letter to
Robinson, appears to be shooting ahead
Salmon p. Chase does not seem to have any
ambition for the candidacy; while Mclean
Hale, Banks, Sumner and Blair, whose names
have been mentioned, are not aspirants fol
the nomination.
Gov. Seward's friends are quiet, but he
would rally a strong vote fhe should express
desire for the nominal on. Among the
leaders of the party general 1esire is mani.
f.sted to yield personal preferences to who
ever may ultimately be considered the most
popular choice of the Anti-Nebraska masses
but the friends of Fremont are enthusiastic
and it is said they are evidently incre Using
in numbers.
They contend that new, young, vigorous
party should have new, young and vigor-
Gus candidate, and, therefore, insist that one
who has won his fame in other fields than
those of the warrior or politician, would have
great strength before the country, and would
have no old prejudices to weigh him down
For the Vice-Presidency, among the Re-
publicans, M. II. Grinnell of New York, Col
lamer of Vermont, and Dayton of New Jer
sey, are talked of in case Fremont is nomi
mated.
Benton does not indorse the Free State
movement, and cannot, therefore, advocate
Fremont's nomination. But little is said il
this locality of Mr.. Fillmore or his pros
poets.

More California News-Oregon.
New YORK, April 80, 18

NEW YORK, Apfll oU, 1000.
The Illinois arrived at o'clock, with 900
passengers, and $2,0OO,000 in treasure
News important.
The Indians in Oregon continue their at
tacks on the whites. They had capture the
steamer Mary on the Columbia River, killed
large number of citizens at the Cascades,
destroyed the town, and at last accounts
were fighting with the forces at the block
house.
At Cornill's Prairie, in Washington Ter
ritory, the volunteers had a skirmish with
the Indians, killing forty and II ut ng the re-
mainder.
Mining accounts promise as large yield
as last year.
The drouth which has pre- vailed through
out California for two months, had given
place to copious rains. In the Southern
cou tries it is feared the pasturage will be
insufficient to sustain the cattle during the
summer.
It is said that the Mormons are making a
reconnaissance Of Colorado river, with a
view Of getting supplies from the Pacific
shore.
Another strong movement has been made
in California to open weekly post to Mis-
souri,.
Ex-senator Foote has withdrawn as the
American nominee for Senator of the United
States.
A brisk trade has sprung up between Sar
Francisco and the Russian Possessions.

The Vote At CeMcinnutl.

We have seen many estimates of the prob
able vote at Cincinnati, but to our mind, all
wide of the mark. We now give our esti-
mate, promising that all the candidates re-
main in the field until the second of June
We will give first the States that will vote
for Mr.. Buchcanan on the first ballot, and
then the States that vote for him on the sec
oad, and subsequent ballots.
Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri
Wisconsin, Michigan, California-besides
two votes from Vermont, six from Massa-
chusetts, four from Maryland, six from North
Carolina, and eleven from Ohie, and eight
from Tennessee On the subsequent ballots
after giving the first and second choice ofthe
State, Mr. Buchanan's vote will stand:
New Hampshire-Pierce and Buchanan
Massachusetts, six votes-Pierce and Bu
chanan; Vermont, three votes-Pierce, Doug
las and Buchanan; New York, soft-Pierce
Guthrie and Buchanan; New York-Dickin
son and Buchanan; Ohio, twelve votes
Douglas and Buchanan; Indiana-Bright
Douglas and Buchanan; Tennessee, fivt
votcs-Douglas and Buchanan; Texas -Rusl
and Buchanan; Arkansas Pierce, Douglas
and buchanan; Mississippi-Pierce, Doug
las and Buchanan; Florida-Pierce, Douglas
and Buchanan; South Carolina-Pierce and
Buchanan; Alabama-Pierce and Buchanan
North Carolina, six votes-Pierce and Blu

SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, MAY TO- 1856

confusion such as we never before witnessed
A strong current still continued down th
river, which, damned by this mass of mat
ter, forced its way over the banks, engulpL
ing the low lands and marshes between tina
point and the bays in sheet Of muddy wa
ter. Unluckily, about noon on Wednesday
a wind from the south sprang up, and th
barriers that had thus long resisted the fore,
OF the water, gave way, and the whole mas
rushed out into the bay; and as the wine
was favorable, by evening the logs, trees, ic,
and all, were in the Lake.
| We are told that nearly all the logs are
within five miles of this place on the south
shore, and that large portion will be saved
We hope this may be the case Their loss
would make the lumber market very tight
during the present season.
FROM MILE LAc-We have gratifying
intelligence from this promising point. Mr.
Moulton informs us that good roads are being
opened from st. Cloud and Crow Wing, un-
der the superintendent of A. G. Northrup,
Esq, and Hon. Lewis Stone When com
pleted, Messrs. Northrup and Walker intend
running a line Of coaches from the Upper
Mississippi to Superior. Many claims have
been made along the various routes to Mile
Lac. Emigration to Minnesota is moving
northward, and soon the broad and fertile
valley of the Upper Mississippi will be set
tied by an enterprising population. We re-
juice with the pioneers of that section at the
bright future before them.
The BAY OF SUPERIoR.-The ice which
has covered portion of the bay during the
past week, owing to its drifting down from
the st. Louis river and bay, has been gradu-
ally thawing under the influence of the sun,
and at the present writing, MONDAY noon,j
has almost entirely disappeared.
New CoUNTY.-IVe learn from Madison
that previous to the adjournment of the Leg
islature, both houses passed an act erecting
the county of Burnet out of portions of St.
Croix and Douglas counties, and establishing
the town of Gordon, at tie junction of Yel-
low and st. Croix rivers, the county seat.
NAIL SERvI-E.-We learn from Mr.. Geo.
f. NettletOn, that while he was in the city
of Washington he was informed by the Sec
ond Postmaster General, that an advertise
ment would lie Immediately published for
proposals to convey semi-weekly mail from
St. Paul to Superior.
