APPREAENDED FAMINE IN NEwFoUND-
LAND.-The Halifax papers contain advices
from Newfoundland, which state that seri-
Gus apprehensions are felt in ST. Johns that
starvation must ensue during the winter in
several Of the outlying districts, in conse-
quence Of the almost total failure of the
fishery and the potato crop. The Legisla-
ture of the Island has been convened to
meet on the Sd of December, to devise
meaGs to arrest the threatened calamity.
ia 1t is probable that IN few wears
slavery will cease to exist in Delaware and
Missouri; Kansas Nebraska, and Washing
ton, in another year or so, will be admitted
into the Union as free States The pro
iected free States Of Chippewa Jefferson
lhaho, Nevada and Arizona, will follow
closely in the rear. Thus there is every
probability that within the next six or
seven years, there will be twenty-eight
free States, and only fourteen slave States
in the Union.
MARTIN CoUNTY.-The following is the
official vote of Martin county:
douglass ...............754
Lincoln ..............5l6
htecklnrlH5e 1873
An election was also held for Representa-
hve, there having been tie at the October
election. The candidates were Hon. G. s.
Dobbins, Democrat and Butler Republican.
Mr.. DObbins was elected by AZ majority,
but the canvassers threw out two townships
giving Dobbins 80 majority, for some infor-
mality, thus electing Butler. We hope Mr.
Butler is too honorable "A man to accept the
office under such circumstances, but if he
does claim H. Mr. Dobhins' should by all
means contest the seat. The next House is
strongly Republican, but the majority GER
tainly will not be guilty OF the outrage of
admitting to a seat a man whom the people
bad rejected.-N. 4. Ledgsr.
