Cured in Illinois ts!dajjf circuit judges being
elected in the various districts and also three
jud es OF the supreme court in this circuit.
There were regular Democratic and regular
Republican tickets. The result will not be
known until after midnight for, although
there was = very light vote, there
was great deal of scratching, scarcely
any.H the votes being straight out paftisan.
The impression seems to prevail that the Dem
ocratic nominees carried the. city by . consid-
cradle majority, and that shp ptbfip5n non
inees generally received q majority Of votessin
the country towns. Nothing Whatever is knoaain
of the.result outside Of this city.

CHICAGO. June.3, 1850 RI x!-Returns nearly
complete from the city show that the entire
Democratic ticket is elected with majorities
averaging about ten thousand. The returns
from the country towns will considerably les-
sen these majorities but will not alter tho r.
suit. About half the usual vote was cast,
Booth ran largely ahecd ID and Reed far behind
on the Republican side, while Rogers led al
the Democrats by 1000.

PuHE PLATINUM WORTH 5000 PER Pousp
OK JtbdE TnoMsgE's PLANrATIoN.-An-
other very valuable discovery has been
made on Judge Thomson's Little Mountui,i
plantation-a deposit Of the richest and
purest plntincm. This Is very rare and ex-
ceedingly valuable metal. and is worth
much more than the richest gold by the
ponfid. 1recimens Of the stuff have been
sent North bdt no returns have yet been
received. The metal is Shiny substance,
something like lead before IL becomes dis
colored by contact with the air. The dis.
ccovery was made by Mr. ID. b. Cade, who
has followed the vein in distinct and
marked development three or four hundred
yards. The vein rms northeast and south
west, and is definite and conspicuous. q
good laborer can take out four pounds of
the metal day, which Is worth five hun
dred dollars a pound. If the metal is pure
platinum. ahd there is every present indica-
tion that 1t is, it will at once be seen how
surpassingly rich the deposit must be. Mr..
Cade Is now running five years lease OF
Judge Trmson's plantation. and is push
ing his mining operations with great energy
and with exceptional success --iJJerifle

The reyefses which have thus early In
the canvass this year set in against the
Democrats may not be Improbable, as
Shey will probably force the nomination
pfa better ticket than can be otherwise
obtained by tho Democratic party in the
State of New York, from their convention
which is now in session. Unless the
Tammany and Anti-Tammauy parties
can be united, Cornell will be elected,
and this fact will probably secure the
selection of some conservative Democrat,
who can lead the party 70 victory. If
New York and OHIO can be reclaimed
TO tho Democracy, then our chances will
bc greatly improved Tor next year. In
the latter State the contest will be very
close, with chances rather against Gen.
Ewing at present. Thurman, Hendricks
and ether prominent aaeakers, however,
are soon TO take part in the canvass, and
their influence may very greatly improve
his chances. AT any rate, the reyerses
just met with will spur ap tbs Democrats
to their uttermost capacity, ard will give
them, it Is to hoped, both in New York
and Ohio o little of the prudence they so
much need. I'll.

Recent Duel Near Camden.
Correspondence Mems aud Courier.

CAMDEN, September 3.
Since an account of the recent duel near
Camden has been put before tho public
attention, 1 will ask sufficient space in
your paper to give correct account Of the
affair. OF the Controversy between Capt
Il. III. Clark, editor of the Camden Journal,
and Col. VIM. nj. Shannon have moth
ing to say further than to refer the public
to that controversy, tho record of which
Is on file In tho offices of the county
newspapers. A duel was actually fought,
as stated in the article TO which / refer,
but that Capt Clark and Mr.. Charles
shannon were personal friends Is not
correct, and that the seconds on account
OF the previous relations of tho parties
and the nature Of the dispute agreed
that there should be but ono shot, is
equally incorrect. The weapons used
were revolyers, to be loaded one shot at
time, fired and reloaded. The distance
was ten (1O) PAGES instead oftwenty coy as
was stated. In short the duel was fought
under the "Code of Honor with excep-
tion of weapons, Mr.. Clark using i'm
proved Smith 81 Wosson army pistol,
Mr.. Shannon Colts improved pistol,
(Peacomaker.) It was understood be-
tween the friends that the firing should
continue until one of the principals was
disabled. This would have been carried
into effect except for the interference of
dlsinterested parties. Just as the sec-
ondS were about to load for another ex-
change Of shots seyeral prominent gem
tlemen, who had learned the place of the
duel, appeared on the ground and by
their decision put stop to the firing,
without even attempting to bring about
any reconciliation, and here tho matter
rests. In conclusion and in Justice to
Col. Shannon will state that the inter-
ference of Mr.. Charles Shannon was en-
tirely without his knowledge or appro-
val. Col. Shannon having three grown
their taking any action in this matter,
and did not know of the challenge being
sent until noxt day when all preliinina-
ries had been arranged.
