The Election.

The Little Election" yesterday, for In
spector and Assessor, passed off with more tina
usual quietness in this town, and up till four
o'clock, with the exception of the quantity Of
bunting suspended in various places across the
streets, and the inevitable fiddle of "Uncle {"
DaVy Hall, (Which, we believes, has never
failed to know, in the memory of the &C Oldest
inhabitant," when election day comes around)
one would scarcely have known il was election
day at all; but, as the evening approached,
the crowd increased, and a pull or two over
doubtful voter seemed TO arouse the lislless as
sembIy. There were, we believe, no fights,
and but little of the usual interest taken by
the politicians in leading the doubtful free
men to the polls. There were but two tick
cts in the field, Notwithstanding there are four
parties, the number of votes polled being $50,
aguinst CSC at the same election two years ago

others visiting Philadelphia, for the purpose of
purchasing DRY GOODS, would find their
time proitably spent in inspecting the choice
and profuse selection of seasonable goods at
the extensive and old established store Of Messrs
Eyre g. Landell, at the S. w. corner of Fourth
and Arch SITS. The establishment spoken of
enjoys degree of popularity among whole
sale as we'll as retail buyers, that is certainly
enViable and perhaps Unprecedented in the an.
nails of trade. Purchasing direct as they do,
from irst-class Auctions, and also ordering from
Europe for their own particular sales, in addi-
ton TO their selections from the large New
York Importers, the best and most fashionable
fabrics in the Market; the firm are prepared
to present special inducements TO cash buyers,
and to sell at extremely small advances. We
are satisfied from personal industry and obser-
walton that to the title OF "model wholesale
and retail store" no house in the city can
claim better right than Eyre & Landell's.

FROM EUROPE.-The advices by the Gla.-
gov are of the highest importance. The Sar-
dlnial invasion of the Pontfcal Dominions is
already completely successful, and the object
for which Victor Emanuel drew the sword has
been achieved. Gen. Lamoriciere's band of
mercenaries have been defeated, with severe
loss. The telegram does not mention the
place at which this decisive battle was fought,
but, judging by the events which Immediately
preceded it, there is scarcely any room to
doubt that Gen. Cialdini and his Sardinians,
aided by the late Neapslitan fleet, defeated La.
moriciere at Ancona, where he had fortified
himself Perugia, Spolletto, and other places,
had previously fallen into the hands of the
Sardnians. Garibsldi was engaged at Ma
pies in organizing an Italian army. 1t is re-
ported that the Lberator was Ion the eve OF
starting for Venetia, and that Gen. Scitor
would take command of the army during his
absence. The miscellaneous intelligence by

From the Memphis Avalanche. l

In the following lines the reader will at once recognize the sweetest warblings of a well known songster. During the last twelve months the writer has contributed many beau- tiful gems to the columns of the Avalanche over the signature of ''Zena Clifton ; but to- day she doffs the "Nom de plume's with which she learned to sing and soar, and dons her real name.
 The theme selected by Miss Rozell is most appropriate, since she graduated at Forest Hill on Thursday last with the highest honors. She is young lady, not yet seventeen years of age, and certainly gives promise of a brilliant career. Pine Bluff, Arkansas is her home, and she is an honor and an ornament to the prosperous young State of her adoption. The little barque she has consigned to the friendly waves, gently glides off from the shore. We trust she starts out upon the long voyage rich in faith. trust and confidence, with strong hands, a hopeful heart, and determination to quail not at the loud roar of the tempestuous waters she will encounter. Every true friend of literature will join us in the hope that tf fresh, warm zephyrs will fan her little barqus with their softest breath-the summer clouds distil their gentlest rains upon it--the skies shed their sweetest dews around it, and the bright and holy beams of morning ever greet it with their sweetest smile.I

A CONSTANT MIrAcLE.-The Bible itself is standing and astonishing mira ce. Written fragment by fragment, throughout the course of fifteen centuries, under different states of society, and in different languages, by persons ofthe most opposite tempers, talents and conditions, learned and unlearned, prince and peas ant, bond and free; cast into every kind of instructive composition and gocd writing, history, prophecy, poetry, allegory, em- blematic representation, judcious interpre- tation, literal statement, preceps, example, proverbs. disquisiticns, epis,le, sermon, prayer-in short, all rational shapes of human discourse. and treating. moreover, on subjects noi obvious, but most difficult i; it's authors are not found, like other wri- ters, contradicting one another upon the most ordinary matters of fact and opinion, but are at harmony upon the whole oftheir sublime and momentous scheme.

How CONGRESS ELECTS THE PREsI- DENT AND VIcE PREsIDENT.-The House of Representatives kas nothing whatever to do with the election of Vice President, nor the Senate with the election of Pre- sident, the powers of each body are dis tinct and entirely independent of the other.
 If no President be chosen by the elec- tors. the House of Representatives may choose the President, their choice being restricted to the persons having the high est numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted for the President
 If no Vice President be chosen by the electors, the Senate shall choose a Vice President from the two highest numbers on the list of those voted for Vice Presi- dent.
 If the House fails to elect President before the 4th of March next following, then the Vice President, whether elected by the electors or by the Senate, shall aci as President.
 The rule or manner of voting under which the Senate choosesa Vice President is exactly the reverse of that of the House in choosing President being the reverse of the general principles or basis upon winch the respective bodies are or ganized The House, representing the people, and ordinarily voting per capita vote for President by the States, the re- presentation from each State having one vote, and majority of all the States bc. ing necessary to choice. The Senate representing the States-in the theory, a least and the manner of electing Senators votes for President psr capita, each Sen ator being entitled to vote, and major ity of all the Senators being necessary tc choice.
