WATT AND MooRE.-A Grass Valley cor
respondent of the Campaigner, predicts that
Phil. Moore will beat Watt 250 votes in
that township. If Moore expects to be
elected, he must calculate on much larger
majority than that in Graps Valley, as Watt
will certainly have majority of 700 or 800
in the other townships. We are informed,
however, by reliable gentlemen from Grass
Valley, who have the best means of know
ing the sentiments of the people there, and
no reason for Misrepresentation, that Doug
las will have a majority of several hundred
in the township, and that Watt will run
from one to two hundred ahead Of his tick
ct; and there is not township in the
county, nor scarcely q precinct, in which
Moore will have larger vote than BreCk-
inridge.

THE MURDER OF CoLoNY.-The Marysville
Appeal of this morning has the following
particulars relative to the murder of Mr.
Colony, of Downieville:
He was shot in the head near the temple.
by pistol. When he left Downieville on
his last journey he had SIS, which was not
found upon his body. A man named Cham
berlain is suspected of being his murderer.
This Chamberlain, in company with two
Mexicans, was met on the road about an
hour before the supposed time of the homi-
eide, and near the scene of it, by Mr.
Nolan, whom he stopped with these words
-"Deliver up your money. or will blow
your brains out" Nolan coolly replied
chamberlain, know you You don't want
to rob me-" Hearing this, Chamberlain
with his followers fed. About an hour af
terwards Colony was found dead by other
parties, aud it is supposed he was the man
whose approach Chamberlain had expected,
in the belief that he had considerable
money.

THE NEXT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES State
Senators hold over from last year, and will
be members OF the Senate this winter. OF
these, eleven support Douglas and johnson,
four are for Breckenridge and Lane, and
two for Lincoln. The friends cf Douglas
will only have to elect six of the seventeen
Senators to be voted for this year to give
them majority in the next State Senate.
AS parties are now divided, the probability
is that the friends of Douglas will have a
clear majority in both branches of the Leg
islature, thus insuring the election of a
sound national Democrat as the successor
Of Senator Gwin.

The VOTE OF SAN FRANCIsCo.-The Bull
letin, referring to the Douglas primary
election, held last Saturday in San Francis
co, says:
The election on Saturday for delegates
to the Douglas County and Legislative
Conventions was very significant affair !;
it showed conclusively that the Irish among
our adopted citizens in this county will al
most to man vote the Douglas ticket in
November. This being the case, the ques-
ton arises: what vote will Breckenridge
get in San Francisco? Men from north of
Mason Dixon's line viii! generally vote
for Lincoln-or if not, for Douglas the
German vote will be thrown for Lincoln !;
the moderate Southern men universally
vote for Bell and this leaves for Breckin.
inridge nobody but the Federal officers and
a very limited number of extreme South
erners. who can be counted inside of
500. If Indications are to be relied on,
BreckinIidge will get the smallest vote in
this county ever thrown for a Democratic
candidate. The backbone of the Democ-
racy here are opposed to the Federal Off
GERS; and their absence will cause tre-
mendous hole in the Administration forces.

THE WALKER FILIBUsTERs.-The last Po-
ny Express, brings the following intelligence,
relative to the ilibusters:
The last Pony Express carried the news to
you that the Spanish war steamer Francisco
Davis had arrived at Havana, with dates from
Omoate to the 9th, and Truxillo to the 7th of
Sept. bearing the most important intelligence
of the capture of Walker and his men on the
Rio Negro, by the British war steamer Icarius,
and the delivery at Truxillo of the flibusters bv
the Capt. to the authorities of Honduras. Wal
ker's army being sick and destitute were gem
orally set at liberty by the Honduras authori-
ties on condition that they should leave the
country, and never again engage in an expodi.
ton against Central America. Gen. Walker
and Col. Rudler, however, were to be shot.
The Guatemala expedition arrived at Truxillo
from Omoate, shortly after the capture of the
flibusters. A later dispatch says that Walker
and Rudler had been shot by order of the Hon
duras Government.

THE VoTE OF MIssOURI.-A letter from
st. Louis gays: Douglas will probably
carry Missouri. The Bell and Everett peo-
pie have hugged the idea that this State
would 90 for them. The Union candidates
received $1,000 votes in August, and of
these $4,000 were given by Republicans,
as proven by the figures. This leaves them
$4,000. The Douglas candidate received
$4,000 If the Breckenridge men poll 3O,-
600, they will draw &c. 900 from the Douglas
vote, leaving him $4,000, or enough to get
the State. The vote will stand nearly as
follows: Douglas $4,000; Bell $4,000 ;
Breckenridge, 10000 Lincoln 10000.

LATER FROM OREGON.-A dispatch from
Yreka, of October I'd, says that a joint res
olution had passed both branches of the
Oregon Legislature, on the 9th ult., for a
Joint Convention, to convene Oct. lst, for
the purpose of electing two U. S. Senators.
The vote was unanimous in the Senate, but
met with strong opposition by the Breckin-
ridge members of the House. There was
little prospect of an election taking place
at the time specified.

Reported Withdrawal OF the douglas
Electors.

A dispatch was received in Nevada yes
terday evening, stating that the tide in Ia
vor of Breckenridge and Lane was setting
in strong; that Douglas was fast losing his
little strength at the South, and that his
Electors in Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama,
North Carolina and Mississippi had with
drawn. The dispatch purports to come
from |. l. Stevens, chairman Of the Breck'
inridge Executive Committee, and is dated
New York, Sept. 23d. 1t was sent to Mr..
Crenshaw, of Nevada, by the Postmaster Of
Sacramento. The statement is SO improba-
bic that we place no reliance in the dis
match. At the latest dates from the East,
Douglas was fast gaining in the South, and
it is altogether improbable thatfity or sixty
candidates for Electors, scattered through
five different States, should by accident
withdraw on the same day, or that there
should have been any collusion among
them. The Pony previous to the last
brought intelligence that one OF the Doug
las Electors in Virginia had withdrawn, be-
cause in bis Norfolk speech, Douglas sta
ted that he was opposed to dissolution of
the Union in the event of the election of
Lincoln The report may have originated
from this circumstance, as it is not late
enough in the canvass to put ahoat roor-
back with any hope Of influencing the re-
suit.
The Pony left st. Joseph on the morning
of September 23d, and the dispatch was da-
ted that day; and it is not probable that
we shall learn the cause of the report until
the arrival of the next Pony. Arumor has
been in circulation, for several days past,
to the effect that Senator Gwin had re-
ceived similar dispatch by the Pony pre-
vious to the last.

GEoRGIA.-A canvass of Georgia has
been made as accurately as such thing
could be done, and the returns foot up as
follows: Bell 47,515; Breckinridge, &c.
41O 7; Douglas, 21,7OO. The Constitutional
provision, which requires a majority to
elect would prevent the Bell electoral tick
ct from being chosen, if the Douglas men
should support their own ticket, and for
this reason the Douglas and Bell men have
united upon a single ticket, each party hav-
ing five of the electors.

DEATH AT. A THEATER.-A native Califor-
nian. named Poncino Ortega, died at the

breathing in a loud, short and strange man
ner. He was Immediately taken out, but

present appearances.
