The Elections.

The Administration, as might naturally be
expected has sustained Waterloo defeat in
almost all the States heard from. Mr.. Bu
chanan has succeeded in giving strength to
the Republicans and they have used it. The
Douglas Democracy have had to contend with
the Republicans and Administration com.
b.ned
In Ohio, the members of Congress elected
are II Republican, Administration, and
Douglas Democrat The Administration can
didates all repudiated the English Bill.
In Pennsylvania, 2l Republicans, 2 Admin.
stration Notwithstanding they repudiated
the English Bid, and 3 Douglas Democrats
John Hickman and VIM Montgomery, the
two stalwart friends of Douglas in the House
Of Representatives, were reelected, in spite
of all that old Buck and his myrmidoms could
do.
In Indiana, as far as heard from, Lee
eomptonites are elected, and s Anti.Lecomp
ton members of Congress. The Lccompton
ties are still in hope that they have carried
the State ticket, but they give up the Legis
ture to the Republicans.
Iowa has gone wholly for the Republi
cans
So much for the damnable Kansas policy

afternoon of Wednesday last, Richard Par.
ker, at his rancho, about twenty miles below
this city, was informed by the captain of the
steamer Gypsy that he had discovered dead
body short distance below in the river
that he thought it was the body of George
Stevens who jumped or fell overheard from
the Gipsy on the 29th of October; thought
he recognized the clothing as that worn bv
Stevens; and requested him to secure the

day:
The ship Lucas left Victoria on 22d Octo
Der, with l75 passengers for San Francisco
She encountered head winds during the voy
age, with the exception of few days dur
ing which time she arrived off what wat
supposed to be the neighhorhood of the Far
alone light. The fog was very thick and she
was, on account of it, obliged to lie off and
on for five or six days for clear weather In
beating back and forth, on Tuesday morning
(the 9th inst, about halfpast 2 o'clock, A. NJ
she ran on a reef of rocks, called Seal Rock
few hundred yards east of the Faralone
lighthouse In the excitement and contu-
sion which occurred among the passengers,
having shipwrecbed before their eyes, there
was, it is supposed, fifteen lives lost--all of
them in the attempt to get upon the rocks of
the Island, over or against which a heavy
surf was beating For short time the scene
was indeed one of horror
Capt. Daggett and others collected around
and eXerted themselves to the utmost to land
every human being on the island, but some
rashly attempted to save their lives by jump
ing for the projecting rocks, and were crush
ed between the rocks and side of the ship,
which lay rolling and laboring. As it was
night, and as there was, besides, a thick fog,
no one knew where he was or where to go
The cries and groans of the sufferers were
most piteous, and the scene NAY well be ina
gined heart breaking. Those who saw and
escaped the peril unite in pronouncing the
spectacle horrible one.
The Lucas was first class ship. She with.
stood the force of the breakers after she had
struck upon the rocks for nearly an hour, be-
fore the water came into her much. Finding
this to be the case, Capt. Daggett tried to get
her off, in hopes that he might stop what
leak there Was, and get her into port He
was the last man to leave the wreck, and
hen only when there was no longer room
'or hope At clock the ship slid down off
he rocks and settled down in the water so
hat the main yard was scarcely visible above
The swell. Her masts stood erect with yards
and sails all on.
About one half of those saved got from the
ship into the boats. Among them were five
ladies. At daylight, after finding out where
they " ere, they were landed on the island
and cared for in the most kind and humane
manner by the keepers of the lighthouse
The Otner half of the passengers and the
crew, Capt. Daggett amongst them, got upon
the rocks by means of rope and spars, rig
ged out by them; and in the course of the
forenoon they were all taken off of the rocks
and landed on the island. The keeper of the
lighthouse is mentioned with great credit for
his eXertions, making his destitute visitors as
comfortable as lay in his power. Most Of
them had lost everything.

PLAcLR CoUNTY.-We copy the following
items from the Yankee Jim's Courier of the
llth instant:
SERIOUS ACCDENT.-AIr. Frederick Bloome
Of the Pioneer Claim, at Iowa Hill, was seri-
ously injured by the caving of a drift the
circumstances as near as we can learn. are as
follows: While Mr.. Bloome was drifting in
the Tunnel in company with partner, with.
out any warning (as is usual in caves) a sand
drift fell upon him. severely iniuring hi.
spine, and covering him to the depth of foul
or five feet Assistance was Immediately
procured, and every thing done for his re.
lief
Since the above was in type, we are inform
ed 10y DIR. Sheridan, of Iowa Hill that Mr.
Bloome is in fair way to recover.

WHAT AN IMAGINATION The Nevada De-
mocrat, in noticing the recent sweeping char.
ges of Henry Jacob in regard to the immo
ralities Of certain mining communities. uses
the following language: "His charges OF
drunkenness and rowdyism in the mines have
no existence foundation n except in his ina
gnation." If this is not intended for stroke
Of iroly, we are at a loss how to understand
it. We have lived in the mining regions OF
California for about nine years, and really
thought drunkenness at least was very
common vice, under which delusion several
thousand earnest temperance workers hav,
also abored. Certainly, society is no where
so demoralized now as formerly, but drunken
ness Is still prevalent vice, and cannot be
removed by ignoring its existence.
North San Juan isa very respectable. quiet
town, comparatively speaking g. and SO no
doubt is La Porte yet we apprehend neither
place Is free from occasional drunkenness and
rowdyism, nor are We afraid of being mobbed

AN lNFALLIBLE GovERNoR-The Sacramen
to Bee states that, while the case Of the Peo
pie on the relation of McKune against Gov
Weller was being argued in the Supreme
Court on Monday last, Chief Justice Terry
said that if McKune were legally entitled to
a commission as District Judge, the Governor
could not be compelled to issue the commits
sion, because the Court could not arrest OF
imprison him. " But" said Judge Currey, Of
counsel, Suppose his Excellency should

We think there is no humbuggery in de-

the world The term Lecompton policy, as
used in party sense, simply means the policy
by which the Administration Of Mr.. Buchan-

of a Territory to frame State Constitution
in the manner that they might choose to ad-
opt, and the absolute denial to Congress, or
any other power, the right to review the SOW
ereign act of the people, or to dictate the

may perform an act of sovereignty. This

BRITISH OUTRAGEs ON AMERICAN Vessels.
Cur readers are doubtless aware that
American vessels have been fred into,
boarded and searched by British ships OF
war, on the coast of Cuba and the coast
of Florida, within the past few weeks.
We give instances Ship Tropic Bird
fred into, boarned and searched /; schoon-
er Cortez seized and now detained at
Inagua schooner N. B. Borden fred into.
boarded and searched schooner Mobile
fred into, boarded and searched brig
Robert Wing fred into, boarded and
searched bark Glenburn overhauled at
sea. and bark w. H. Chandler boarded
and eearched while lying at anchor in the
port of Sagua la Grande. The commas
der of the British war steamer Styx sta.
ted to the captain of the schooner Mobile,
that he was under positive instructions to
bourG every vessel he saw in these wa.
tiers, i. g. Gulf of Mexico.
We see it stated in our exchanges
"thst Secretary Cass has addressed Lord
Napier, the British minister, upon the
subject of firing into and searching our
vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, audit is
understood that bis lordship will avail
himself of the earliest opportunity to
make some remonstrance to the COM
mander OF the British squadron in that
quarter. The news is as troublesome to
Lord. Nepicr as to Secretary Cass."
BY reference to the Congressional pro-
ceedings it will be seen that both Houses
have taken notice of the outrage.
The Presiden. has dispatched the U.
s. Ship Colorado to the Gulf to make in.
quires concerning the outrage-and also
with positive instructions to :he com-
mander of the Home Squadron to stop all
interferences with American shipping
whatever. The President has further
demanded of both England and Spain an
explanation
Much indignation is excited through.
out the couutry-a pnblic meeting of the
merchants has been held in New York.
Our people will never permit their YES
sells to be searched-we have had one
war with England in the. maintenance OF
principle, and we will have another one
unless England Yields. 1t is particular
y unfortunate that this difficulty has oc.
curred-as it will tend to embarrass the
settl, menf of other vexed questions.
1t is stated that the search is made un>
der pretence of stopping the African
slave trade. Such an excuse will not
"pass muster" with this people. Abso-
lutte exemption of our vessels from visit
or search upon the high seas is the only
settlement of the question our people will
make.

suicide OF ii. W.. Herbert.

Henry W. Herbert committed suicide.
this morning, about 2 O'Clock. at the Ste-
VEINS House. Broad way, by shooting hims
selfin the left breast. He is an English
man by birth. and has good connexions in
England. He has been best known here
by being writer for the New Y ork Spir-
ii of the Times, sporting paper. and for
his writing upon horses, dogs, fishes,
and all kinds of sporting. His literary
nonss de plane has been Frank Forester.
and by that title he isbest known to the
people of the United States. Hewas. we
believe, once tutor of Charles Astor
Bristed. The hayesrecently hadsa sharp
controversy in the newspapers. and Bris-
ted accused him there of borrowing mon
ey, and resorting to all sorts of low tricks.
VIM. Henry Anthem. Esq. was with him
last night, and with him this morning,
when he committed suicide.
We knew Mr.. Herbert score of years
or so since, when he was in the bud and
blossom Of his literary fame-engaged in
editing the American Monthly Magazine.
| IN. Y. and in the instruction of classes
4 in large classical school. He left Eng
land, we heard it rumored. under rather
painful circumstances. but received ashun-
dred pounds yearly from his father.for his
support. But his :extrasagant habits
made that, and what he was earning. a
small income for him. His novels at once
seized the public attention, and soon
gained him an enyisble fame. He had a
fine imagination and strong powers OF
conceiving character; his rich store of
learning gave him unusual facility of ex
preston, and his cultivated taste taught
him as il by intuition what was best.
He was one of the most profound soho.
lars we ever had in the country, and as a
writer, possessed genius Of no common
order. His last work was an elaborate
Que on the fish and game of his country;
his pursuits and tastes inclining him to
the life of sportsman and the study oil
natural history. His first wife died some
years since, leaving a child. on whom was
settled the country seat where Mr.. Her
bert was married. Latterly he had suf.
cred much from i'll health, which leading
perhaps 10 alienation of mind. may have
been the cause of the sad CATASTROPHE
