As faithful chronicles Of the times. We are
bound to keep our readers posted as to the
political and other movements of the dav.
The following conclusion of a long article in
the New York Herald may be considered ger
main to the subject.
The result Of his election will be to break
APP either the Republican or the Democratic,
IND to make the new party the opposition du-
ring the next Presidency. Thus, If the Dem.
ocrats should be beaten, they will be exiting
nished a. 4 party. and will have to fall into
the ranks Of the Union opposition or should
the Republican party be overthrown that will
be the last Of them, and the scattered frae-
ments will be absorbed by the Union marty,
which would thus, in due time, present a for.
m'dab'e opposition to the triumphant Dem
ocracy.

Marin's two steamers carried about $50

his wounded, thrown overheard. and it is
therefore impossible to ascertain the num-

on both sides. At the last accounts there
were nine Of the wounded in the military

Marin had a large quantity of powder IN
board, destined for President M,ramon. No
sooner did the former see that he was about
to be captured than he had it all thrown over

Some Of the powder had been recovered, and
is said to be the same as t.at which is stored

papers and other articles, have been picked
up and will be doubtless used as evidence in
