"THE FOREIGN VoTE.-The result of the
election in those places which we have heard
from show one gratifying fact aud that is
that the great body of adopted citizens were
true to the great principles of freedom. In
this country-Eric-Mil Milwaukee Chicago,
etc, the great body of the intelligent adopt.
ed citizens voted for Fremont and Freedom;
and we have no doubt now that the great
warfare has commenced between the extern
sion of slavery and its limitation, that those
foreigners who left Europe TO escape tyran.
ny and come to make home where they
and their children can enjoy the blessings of
liberty, will hereafter always be found as
they have been at this election, on the side
of Liberty and Freedom"
We clip the above from the crawford
Journal" a Fremont paper published at
Meadville, Penn, In that county we think
the Democracy must have been out of funds
and credit, or the Free .soilers could not have
out.bid them. The extract needs no COM
ment; it will be sufficiently ineligible to
the Southern reader
New ORLEANS, Nov 99.-The Empire
City has arrived at New Orleans, from Pana-
ma, with dates from California TO the 18th of
November.
The election returns for President, in Cali.
fornia, are very incomplete. At San Francisco
it was believed that the State had gone for
Buchanan. In the city and county of San
Francisco the vote was, fol
Buchanan, 10000
Fillmore, 1000
Fremont, 600
Reports from the interior, or upland coun.
tie-, are, that Buchanan leads Fillmore. 1t is
regarded premature to predict, with any
thing approaching certainty, what the result
will be, with such meagre reports.
Good order prevailed in San Francisco at
the election.

s1g Few of our readers have any adj
equate idea Of the circulation of the New
York Tribune, or of the capital invested in
that concern. The Tribune issues each week,
including Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly,
100000 copies, or 22,5OOOOO year. The
weekly issue of the Tribune weighs ten tons,
and employs an express wagon nineteen hours,
to transport the mails from the Tribune es-
Enlistment to the Post Office. If all the
weekly Tribunes printed in year loaded on
wagons, at the rate of two tons to each, it
