California Election-Defeat of Stanly,

The returns from twenty-three Counties in Cali.
fornia foot up as follows: Weller Democrat, %, ,5Os,
Stanly, black Republican, 1868, Bowie, K. N,
9,6l6. stanly carried San Francisco by 2, 700 ma.
jority, the K. Ms of that City having united him
in the hope of defeating the Democratic party.
The San Francisco Globe thus announces the re-
suit to the Atlantic Democracy: ....
We send greeting to the Democracy of the East
and congratulate them upon the fact that we have
once more met the enemies of the Constitution in
this State, and that they have succumbed The
majority of Col. Weller over Mr.. Stanly, the nomi
nee of the Black Republicans" will not come short
of from twenty to thirty thousand His majority
over both Stanly and Maj. Bowie, the American -
candidate, will also be considerable. The "Repub-
lican candidate rallied to his support all the isms
of the day, and under the specious guse of Reform
endeavored TO array powerful opposition for the
defeat of the Democratic candidate His friends
waged bitter warfare during the campaign, and
brought the most calumnious charges against all
the Democratic nominees. But all was in vain: the
people not to be deceived and the result is be-
fore US in a noble triumph of the Democracy
The Democratic party displayed its flag the
notices OF popular sovereignty in the Territories

other States may do, whatever temporary triumphs
may be achieved by the Black Republicans :" in
other localities California is bound to stand by the
Union and the Constitution"

THE SOUTH CAROLINA BANKs.-We learn from one
of the Charleston papers that the banks of South
Carolina cannot suspend without forfeitng their
charters. They must pay through any run or pres
sure the last dollar in their vaults "Before this
result could be reached with all its disasters" says
the Charleston Ne'os the people of South Carolina,
who were never freer from embarrassment, could
and would sustain them with such large supply Of
agricultural products equal to specie and convertible
at once into sustaining credits specie, that the
resources of the banks could be realized to any
needed extent" 80

The Bank of Tennessee.

The Hon. Cave johnson, President of the bank of
has written the following sensible letter
to committee of merchants of Nashville who ad-
vised suspension of specie payments. This letter
has the ring of the old jackson metal and is just
what might have been expected from Cave johnson:
"BANK OF TENNESSEE, Sept. 80, 1857.
GENTLEMEN: The officers of the Bank of Tennes.
see received copy of the resolutions adopted by
the merchants and citizens yesterday at the Pro-
lection and Insurance office, urging temporary sus
pension of specie payments by the three old banks
of Nashville, and timely aid to their customers and
debtors" and thought it their duty to submit them
to called meeting of the board of directors which
was holden this morning in the Bank. -...-s
The board were unanimously of opinion that there
existed necessity proprety in the adoption of
the policy indicated your resolutions by this bank
The Bank of Tennessee is able and ready to meet
all demands against it whenever and however made,
and would not therefore, be justified excused for
refusing payment of its notes when demanded.
With such abundant crops, soon to be ready for
market, and commanding such high prices, the pres
sure in the money market cannot fail to be of short
duration. The shipment of the products of the
State, so much in demand in every section of our
country, will furnish ample means to our merchants
and citizens to meet the demands against them with
out resort to such doubtful remedy suggested.

tration on account of its Kansas policy and alleging
that Kansas is about to be become free State
through the Vaccinations " of Gov. Walker. On
the other hand the freesoil journals North allege
that slavery has already been legalzed in Kansas by
the Kansas Nebraska act, and that President Bu-
chanan, as the head of the "savedrivers," is de-
termined that Kansas shall be slave State. Differ
ing widely as the two 1" brigades of the opposition
do, they yet concur in assailing and misrepre-
senting the President and the Democratic party.
We observe that the Salisbury Herald is just now
exercised about Kansas. That paper is distressed
because Kansas has not been "saved" =" to the South
If Mr. Fillmore and those who supported him had
had their way, the South would have made no show
ing whatever Kansas, for they opposed the repeal
of the Missouri restriction by which slavery was let
in to that Territory. What does the Herald say TO
that "A strange consistency truly to denounce the
Democratic party for an act by which slavery was
let in to Kansas and then to charge the party
with determination to make Kansas free State.

1t was in the silent watches of the deer
midnight, that blanche, awaking and deem
ing herself alone, poured forth her heart il
prayer, and Paul, from the cushions of tho
large, old fashioned easy chair, heard the
sweet tones of her voice. She prayed fo,
him, for her father, aud thea her weak voice
sinking almost to whisper, she prayed il
fervent tones for one who she there confess
cd to God and her own soul to be the dear
est Of all to her. She prayed for his wei
being, and that she might be permitted tc
see him, once, only once more before she
died.
So much she revealed that Paul, in
breathless suspense, waited until her gentle
breathing announced that she was once
more asleep. lie then stole noiselessly
from the room. The first streaks of the
dawn were struggling with the night, as he
made his way through the old-fashioned
hall and staircase to his own room. Sitting
down at table lie hastily scratched off the
following note:
Mr.. LoRRAINE-Dear Friend: Come to
US at once. You told me to call upon you,
and I obey you. Blanche loves you. She
yearns to see you before she dies. She is
but the shadow of her former self. You
will be shocked to see her. I discovered
her secret when she thought no one was
near her but her God.
Sincerely yours,

a sleigh drove up IN the greatest haste
to the door. A step sounded on the stairs.
The sick girl bent her eyes toward the door
wistfully and listened. The door opened,
her father entered, and closely following
him was Charles Lorraine.
"God is good!" exclaimed Blanche, soft
ly, "my prayer is answered"
"My dear child, Mr.. Lorraine would sec
you," said Mr.. Moreton.
In moment more, Charles was bending
over that shadowy form, end taking the
transparent hands of tile dying Blanche, lie
said, in tones heard only by her
Live, dearest! live for me-"
Those pale feature lighted up with sud-
den JOY, and Paul, who had guessed at the
good imports of the words breathed by
Lorraine, saw tho light of life gleam once
more in the eyes of the sister he so fondly
adored.
