We6 Orleans gully Grestent,
lnCreaHe Of Formulation

The city OF Philadelphia is to be, congratulated
1--WE supposeD over the astonishing increase of its
voting population within the last few months, be.
cause population usually adds wealth, strength and
prosperity to any great trading, industrial and com
mercial community. It may be, however s,cL in.
crease as we have spoken Of will not bring many
blessings in its train. And, although Philadelphia
is now on paper, the largest voting metropols in the
Union; the fact taken in consideration with the means
by which this largeness was produced, may prove a
fruitful source Of evil instead of good.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, of the 18th,
has some interesting facts and data bearing unon this
point, which we subjoin Let the reader bear in mind
that the Bulletin is anything but Fillmore journal.
At the hour the Evening Bulletin went to press the
official returns were not all fully reported, vet suf
c!ent was known to warrant the assertion that the
Vole eSeeeaed' ny ll2l7 votes the entire poll for
Mayor in May last Here is summary of the votes
of the city cast at all important elections in pbade.
phla since l648:
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-10-24

According to the latest figures received as author
lty, New York exceeds PHILADELPHIA in ponuIation
about one hundred and fifty thousand souls vet right
IN the face OF this immense disparity we have the
startling fact that, the 14th inst PHILADELPHIA cast
slr thousand more roes than were ever poed in New
York! and that since May last-barely five months
over eleven thousand votes have been manufactured
by some process Or other.
Here we might leave the subject without one word
OF comment The astounding figures demonstrate
that the election on the 18th could have been little
better than satunaa of fraud, perjury, bribery and
corruption.
Private letters, etc., lead us to believe that srs
TEN OF fraudulent voting was extensively practiced
throughout the State. Probably not less than thirty
thousand illegal voters were imported. These men
will be wanted at home in November, and cannot,
therefore, go over to Pennsylvania to smother the
voice OF the real people under mountains of fraud.
But with all these advantages, how does the result
sum up? Why, most mortifying to the Buchanan
leadels-giving only three or four thousand majority
to their State ticket Deduct the thirty thousand it,
legal votes polled, and their ticket would be left
some twenty-five thousand votes behind.
Under circumstances like these we do not see WHY
any Fillmore man should be desponlent, or any Bu.
chananite cNultant. The Fillmore Union ticket was
unquesonaby defeated by fraud of the grossest kind
and that fraud cannot be repeated in November.

Louisiana Items.

We are pleased to learn from the Claiborne Advo
cate, that Wishn the last week or two Il number OF
the most substantial planters of that parish have
taken stock in the Nicksbnrg, Shreveport and Texas
Railroad, to the amount of several thousand dollars
RED RIvER.-The Shreveport Southwestern, of
the 18th inst, says:
The river is on a stand, but the rains of Sunday
and Monday, which appear to have extended through
out the country, will occasion it to swell some inches
At last accounts there were four feet water on the
Falls and three feet on the bar at the mouth of Red
river Since our last the Aida and NJ. L. Daugherty
have arrived from the Falls the Camden, De De and
Effort direct from New Orleans and the White Cliffs
and Aida left for New Orleans. The Camden met
with no detention whatever.
Loss OF. THE STEAMER r. NJ JoNEs.-The Shreyc-
port Gazette, of the lth inst, has the following:
Mr.. AL. i1eine, who came up on the White Cliffs
on Tuesday, informs Ills that the steamer r. NJ Jones
on her downward trip, sunk few miles above Campte
last week. She ran on pile Of logs, and turned over
\ German named James Dappemayer of Marshal
$500 at this place. from Col B. NJ. Johnson and it
is said that he also had s. 900 belted around his
body. This latter we presume, is mistake The
boat had on board several bales of cotton, the number
we have not heard She is supposed to be total loss
y New PAPER AT JACKsoN-A neat little sheet,
styled the rimes, has just been issued in the town
Of jackson. 1t is edited and published by Messrs
A. l.. Latil and n. 0. Harris. We wish them all
kinds of success in their enterprise.
WEATHER AND CRors IN ST. TAMMANY PARISH
The Greensburg Imperial, of the 18th, has the sub
joined item in regard to the weather and crops
We have again been visited by light lrosts, and the
mornings continue cool but not too much for busi-
ness. The cotton fields of our planters white
with the staple, and Judging from the quantity gath
cred each day the greater portion OF it will have been
housed by the last of November.

Sons OF MALTA.-The Mobile Tribune, Of the 22d
inst, has the following remarks ia relation to the
political course Of this ancient and highly respectable
order
This order has been in existence in this city little
over year, and they can boast of at least two
thousand members. all over the age Of - years. and
composed of men Of all classes religion etc. 1t is as
yet not positively known whether the society in this
city will attempt to use their influence in the coming
Presidential election not. We have heard it whis-
pered thai they would, but whether their influence
will go for" Buck" Woolly Horse or rather the
Maltese (Rocky Mouutain) JackasS, or FILL" has
not yet leaked out but this we are now convinced
Of that if they determine to cast their votes for the
Maltese Jack Woolly Horse) he will carry this city
bya larger vote than was ever before known We
make these remarks to all how they make their
bets before it is found out how the Sons of Malta will
vote at the coming election.
We in New Orleans are happily better posted in re-
gard to the course of the order than our Mobile co
trere. We have been Informed by the G. r. J. A. O. of
the Sublime Grand Lodge, that as Old Buck was only
g. n, he could not get their sufrages, and that it
was their intention to invest Fill" with the scroll
of honor" We hope our brother will be salts
fed > with this arrangement.

AN IMPORTANT Discovery - GaNinippers made
Usefm.-The New York Daily Times, of the 18th
inst has the following announcement of an import
ant discovery by one of our citizens:
Dr. J. i. Blctehu, of New Orleans, has succeeded
in training the larger species Of mosquitoes known in
New Orleans as "gallinipper," to perform all the
objects hitherto only accomplished by the lcech or the
cupper. a dozen of these insects are equal to six
leeches and placed on the desired spot will at once
commence to suck blood in the same way, and with
far less trouble, than the older institution.
We feel somewhat hurt that the Doctor should have
allowed the Times to get ahead of the New Orleans
press, in making such an important discovery known
to the world. Yet, We will not deny that man who
can apply gallinippcrs to useful purpose, deserves
that his countrymen should bleed for his benefit. II
the Doctor wishes to catca fresh supply at any time
we would suggest that our sanctum is an excellent
location for trap, for there is end to the game.

Election in Louisiana,

The large majority given for Wiclllife, last fall
which amounted to near three thousand has induced
Us TO believe all along that it quite probable that
this State would go for Buchanan But recent de.
veloSlnents indicate most certainly that change has
come over the spirit Of our political dreanand that
Louisiana will certainly vote for Fillmore and Donel
son ana Native Amerlcanis1n New Orleans will give
our party an overwhelming majority of some $500
or 5000 votes, while the majority for Derbigny was
only some three hundred and fifty. We are also as
surcd that the parishes of Laourche interior which
gave inalorities against the Native American party
last fall, will give heavy maores for the American
ticket.
The voters in these parishes were humbugged into
the support of Wicklitfe by the avowed assertions
made by the Sag Ncht demagogues that American
ism designed to persecute and ostlacise Catholicism
Now the fog has cleared away, they all see clearly
how they triced out OF their votes and are de-
telmlned not to be abused in that manner again.
lhelr first and only true love is their country and her
institutions. and they are fockng to her embrace
with zeal and an earnestness that will tell in the
November elcction-[ Clinton Patriot, 18th.
Our Felclana cotemporary is about right in his
figures. Throughout the sugar district, we have good
reasons for believing there will be important Fillmore
and Union gains in every parish. Some parishes
that went heavily against us last November will, in
all human probability, go for us on the 4th of next
month"; AS for New Orleans, she will do her duty to
the Union, and the noblest living champion of the
Unon-the great, the true, the spotless Millard Fill
more OF this, our country friends may rest assured
That stupendous frauds upon the elective franchise
are contemplated by our opponents, is quite appa
rent. We are unable to fix upon the precise loca-
ties, but shall not be surprised if Madison, Carroll
and Ouachta parishes, vote from fifteen hundred to
two thousand more ballots than they are entitled to
legally. The line of the Vicksburg and Shreveport
railroads should be watched and protected by the
friends of law and order with unceasiug vigilance.
