chan even the Geographic despatach described
it. In the Parish Of st. Mary s the loss is more
than half million of dollars, and it issaid that
alone the whole extent Of the bayou, there is
scarcely a sugar house standing. The cane
and corn crop is almo st totally ruined. 1t is
said that on many plantations the cane has
been twisted of and blown all over the fields
The planters will raise very little provcnder
in the way of corn and fodder. Its reported
from Fort Adams that an immcncc amount of
damagowas done to the crops in that vicinity.
The reports from St. Landry are TO the effect
that the corn and cotton crops in that parish
were almost totally destroyed. From all
parts of the State it is the same story Of ru-
ined orchards, Frustrated crops of corn, cot
ton cane, &c.

total numbcr Of arrivals in the United States
during the time mentioned above amounted
to 44Sl ,S37; of which 3,2l2 GID were of
foreign birth. Of this last mentioned num-

THE KENTUCKY EIECTION.--Thc Sag NIGHT
paper have boastcd cXtavagantly over the
election for Judges in kentucky; but it be-
gins to appear that they crowCd prcmaturcly.
The returns have not yet been received in full:
but so for as a fair test can be applied they
show an actual gain for the American cand-
dates We state on authority of the Louis
Vile JoHrHnl, that majority ofth American
Candidates are elected, that the Sag NIGHTS
pollcd aggregate vote, and that The Amer
lean strength, as was stated in the first dis
PATCH has not been polcd by many thousands.
1.-The Frankfort Commonwealth conoborates
this Statement, and after giving details, says:
''Thc net decrease upon the aggregate vote
of last yeaI in all the districts, 50 far rs heard
from, is IA O37. Nearly all of these unpolcd
votes belong, beyond question, to American
voters, who did not go to the polls i'll August,
but who will 90 there in November, and vote
for Aillard Fillmore, and give him the State
by the largest ma jority."
In fact, the contest revolver on the perso-
nal merits Of the candidates for Judges, and
in every case the most popular or least obi,c-
tionablc man was elected. For instance, Du-
wallis election over Marshallis claimed as
Sag Nicht triumph, though Marshall declared
in letter, pubiiShcd before Tie election, that
he was the candidate ofno party and would be
G none. IN other cases, the election Of IL dem
ocrat overa Wing, and ola wing over DEM
cratic American, were set down as Sag Nicht
gains. We have yet to see Kentucky pa
per, which counts OH the returns of the late
election, as evidence that she will give her
Electoral vote for Buchanan: on the contrary,
the American journals boldly assert that it
will be castor Fillmore and Donelson by
thousands
