| DEATH OF COMMODORE MoRRIs.-The
New York papers of Monday announced
the death of Commodore Henry w. Nor.
ris, in that city, on the night of the 18th inst.
in the 5Sth year of his age. He was grand
son of the celebrated Goveneur Morris, the
eminent diplomatist and Statesman Of the
early days of the Republic. He had just
returned from New Orleans, where he was
second in command to Admiral Farragut,
in impaired health, and fingered but few
days after his arrival at home. He has al
ways been a very able and Efficient officer.
His funeral took place on Monday.
BEHIND TIE TIMEs.-The Linn County
Register, of the 18th instant informs it's
readers that Judge Bramlette is elected
Governor of Kentucky over Tory Wick
life by from ten to fifteen thousand major
| ity. Please amend your figures Mr.. Reg
lister. Judge Brsmlette has FIFTY THOU
SAND majority, and more than four times
as many votes as his opponent, with TWEEN
| ty counties to hear froIn. Don't be too
modest. AS the Welshman said in the
play, it is always '1awful to tell the num-
number of rebels in Kentucky "came to
grief in that election, and much larger
number elsewhere.
gg- The French Mexican papers are ad-
vocating the immediate recognition of the
rebel "Confederacy," asserting that France
will do SO. They offer as an argument the
allegation that the Northern States are tor
Juarez and the "Confederacy" for Next
can Monarchy. We presume that they are
not much in error in the last assertion. At
all events they can set down our Northern
people as distinctly opposed to all the
French projects in Mexico and the Monar-
chy most of all. But we think their argu-
ment will not avail much among the peo-
pie Of Mexico. It will suit the faction
which brought the French there, of course.
1t will only intensity the hate of those who
still think they have country and are de-
termined to maintain it. Mexican reoog-
milton of the Confederacy will avail little.
But it will make still more prominent the
enmity of Louis Napoleon to our Republic.
| EThe ram Savannah, the mate to the
Atlanta, which was going to take two OF
our Monitors on the Savannah river, but
which instead was gobbled up with its en-
tire crew by the Weehawken alone, after
firing six shots at her, came down that NV
er on the 10th inst, intending to run out
Unfortunately for the rebel purposes she
broke an engine before reaching our lines
and went back like q lame duck. AS mis-
fortunes never come singly we are also
told that another rebel steamboat, the Ha-
bersham, exploded her boiler at Savannah,
totally destroying the vessel and killing
| the entire crew.

~ Among the latest importations from
the North into Washington, North Carroll
ma, there are said to have been i've hun
dred national flags. That would seem to
indicate that the people there have some
intention again to "rally round the flag
once more to wave the ''stars and stripes
to the breeze, and keep step to the music
of. the Union. We hope so. r
~ The gunboat Cincinnati, sunk al
Vicksburg during the siege, has been
! raised and is now being repaired at that
| place. It will yet do good service in the
cause of the Union.
