The Trnth coming Ouf.


The New York Herald of the 10th thus tells
the naked truth in regard to its recent demi-god
George Law; ag t
"We have been guilty Of 4 great burglary with
regard to George Law, We have broken down
the fences Of the political menagere to set him on
his pins before the people. We thought he had
the stuff in him TO make telling, vigorous man in
the present exigency of the Republic. We para
ded him in all sorts Of shapesturned him this way
and that--doctored him in one style, pbysicked
him in another-gave him views, and IDEAS, and
maxms, and npothegms, and occasionally bit OF
poetry; but with all we could do, assisted by ex.
Senator westcott Silas h. Stillwel, Charles Ed
wards Lester, and other worthless, Geo. Law turned
out to be great humbug and as politician only
ft 70 be laughed at. His Ridiculous operations in
his conventions and meetings, during The past few
months, have only injured the cause of the opposi
fion to the Democracy, and materially damaged
the prospects of the candidate he cndeavored to
assist Like a big bun in china shop, he smash
es everything with which he comes in contact
We really rope that he win now 90 back to pri-
vste lifc and become a respectable, God-fearing
citizen. We rather think he viii succeed better
in religion than in politics. Ono half the money
he has thrown away on political harpies, bad Il

nunneries, would have given him. with the Pope,

Loss OF THE STEAMER CIrY OF SAvANNAH.--We
regret to announce the total loss of the steamship
City of Savannah, one Of the steamers belonging to
the line between this port and Savannah. The
City of Savannah cleared from Savannah on the
18th instant for Baltimore, and sprung s-leak on
heavy gale from Northeast to East The pumps,
on trial, were found choked, and the water coon
rising to level with the boilers, extinguished the
fires. On Thursday, at o'clock A. H., the bark
Sylph, from Boston, hove in sight, and remained
by her until O'Clock p. M, when all hands left
the steamer and vent on board the Sylph, and in
two hours after she went down--then about 100
miles southeast Of Cape Henry. The captain and
crew arrived here ON Saturday afternoon, on board
the steamer Mary Washington. The City of Sa-
vannah was insured TO the amount of go, 600 she
cost the company about 1000. Her cargo, val
ued at about 600, believed to be insured

Florida Election.

We find the following additional returns of
counties in the Floridian of the It'll instant:
Jeiferson--This county has gone as usual for the
Democrats. Majority for Perry, l79, for Hawkins,
2l8. Three Democrats elected to the House with
out opposition.
Madison official For Walker, 535; Perry,
42S; Baker, 400; Hawkins, 469 McLeary, Nc
Queen, (Democrats) and Hawkins (American) elect
ed to the House.
Levy-Clyatt (Democrat) has been elected to
the House from this county by seven majority
Walker and Baker are supposed to have carried it
by ten to fifteen majority
Orange and Volucia are reported to have given
msjorities for Walker.
Hamilton county gives Walker about forty ma
jority.
The Floridian, Democratic paper, regards the
result for Governor as doubtful We are still in
clined to the opinion, after careful examination
of the vote thus far, that Walker (American) has
carried the State by very small majority. There
is no doubt of the election of Hawkins (Democrat)
to Congress.
The Floridian states that General Allison, previ-
ousy reported as elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives from Gadsden, had been defeated by a
few votes.

MASSACHUSETTS CoSGREsssEs.-A writer for the
Lowell Courier observes with regard to the nomi-
nation for Representatives from the 9Th district:
"A Nominatiom not 1T 10 be naade-Every
thoughtful, intelligent man In this Congressional
District cannot be otherwise than disgusted and
indignant at the idea that man 80 utterly unqual-
ited as @. L. Knapp, of this city, is to represent
as in Congress. ID was a nomination not ft TO be
made, and no thinking man can have any respect
for the public sentiment which was instrumental
in bringing 1t about What il Knapp at Washing
ton and what can he be but a CIPHER, dummy
without the least qualification, either for the COM
mittee room or for debate? The South, whatever
else may be said of it, is always careful TO send
men of marked ability TO represent Southern in
terests In the Hall OF the National Legislature.
But Massachusetts, seems TO be utterly regardless
of fitness, utterly blind and without discrimination
in the choice Of Congressional delegation at the
present time
"This is the sentiment of Free-soil Fremont
writer, and what he says with regard to Mr.. Knapp
may follow in correctness an opinion with regard
to the whole delegation of the State Mr. Knapp
had the fortune to be made the clerk of the SEN
ate in the first year of the of the coalition
in Massachusetts,, and he was entirely incompetent
for the performance of the duties Of his Office.
He is subject to the same imbeeility in Congress,
and yet the Free-soil party takes him for one of
It's representatives. '--Boston Courier.
Massachusetts,, until the year 1855, was distin-
guished for the high character Of her Congress
sional delegations Her influence in the affairs Of
government was correspondingly potential. 1t is
gratifying to note that her citizens are now adj
dressing themselves to the good work Of replacing
the present delegation with men who are worthy
of the ancient renown of that old and honorable

An Incident in the Life of Fremont.
The Star relates the following:

a Catholic lady of this city, of high standing
in society," on going into the house of the late VEN
cradle and beloved Father Matthews, OH one occa-
sion met Colonel John O. Fremont on the thres-
hold, the latter being in the act of leaving to
presence of the so generally revered clergy
On entering his sitting room, Father Matt
pointed to FIVE dollars laying on his table, and
marked chat the gentleman the lady had met was
no other than the celebrated Fremont, who had
left that money there to pay for masses to be said
for him, as he was going over the Rocky Noun
tains We have the name of the lady, who win
substantiate the fact If Colonel Fremont denies it.
1t was related to us by her son-in-law, physician
in large practice among us"
In addition to the above we will state, that there
are several respectable Catholic citizens of Wash
ington, who have recently asserted that they have
partaken Of the holy sacrament in company with
John @. Fremont in this city,
One of these gentlemen informs us that FREE
mont admitted to him that he had attended Father
Van Horseigh's church several times--perhaps a
dozen or toenty times
