In almost every instance where a contest was made, and whore the office was of any importance, at the late spring elections in this State, the Democrats were triumphant—defeat ing the , Republican candidates, and in many instances breaking down large Republican majorities. Such was the case in Reading, Lancaster, Harris. burg, NorristoWn, Erie, West Ches ter, Carlisle, Hamburg, Greensburg, Lewistown, Butler, and many others —all verdicts against the ruinous pol icy of sectional Republicanism. NIP It Is said that Major Anderson recently shot a common soldier itqort Sumpter for treason. On such the penalty always falls first and; heaviest NY" The Administration has deter mined not to reinforce Fort Pickens, at Pensacola. The difference between tweedle-durn and tweedle-dee is groat. Ifbir. Buchanan's administration had • announced such Measures as the Lin coln administration is daily propos ing, the hotheaded Republicans would have insisted at once to hang him and his Cabinet. Wo are pleased with the disposition of the Democracy to do _justice to the Lincoln administration —not to denounce it at all hazards and under all circumstances, but to give it a fair ohance--even bear with its weak nesses and vaicillations for a time. 101, The Susquehanna river has been in good rafting condition for a week or two past, and a large num bar of rafts- have arrived at Colum bia, Wrightsville and Marietta. The sales are said to be light and buyers backward. Otr" It is the sheerest hypoerney for a man like Judge Wilmot, who was reared and educated in free trade principles,and spent almost fifty years of his life in the ads'ocacy of the most ultra views on that question, to veer round and sincerely believe di rectly the reverse. Hence, when in his lute speech in Philadelphia, he do- Oared that he was always wrong, and has now only, in his old ago, found the true principles of government, he was either deceiving himself or trying to deceive the people. tar The Assistant Secretary of the Legation to Spain, just appointed, is a Breekinridge Democrat. The ex cuse given for his appointment is his superior ability. Rather a left.hand ed compliment to the Republicans. trr The contest for the Philadel phia Collectorship has now narrowed down to Ex-Governor Pollock and Win. B. Thomas. The former is a moderate Republican and the latter an ultra Abolitionist. We shall soon see which is the most acceptable to Mr. Lincoln, C*7 Secretary Seward declares that no German-born shall be the repre sentative of this government abroad. He assumes the responsibility ,of his position. Hence the nomination of Carl Shur; to Portugual, which had been determined on by the President, has been reconsidered. This shows the estimation of the Republicans for our German fellow citizens. MAILS BI:ENT.—The baggage and mail car of the train which left Pitts 'burgh:on Wednesday afternoon last for Philadelphia, on the Pennsylvania railroad, was destroyed by fire with all its contents, near Huntingdon.— The train ran over a steer, which threw the hind wheels of the bag. gage nd mail car off the track, up. setting tho stove, and before the train could be stopped the whole was in a blaze. The mails were mostly for Harrisburg, (which were saved) Phil adelphia, and Washington. The mat ter in the latter, Which was distribu ted along the road for a mile, appear. ed to-be mostly documents from offioo seekers. Many of the passengers lost their ,baggage. O Goma IT.—The House oft:Rep resentatives of the Legislature incor porated into the appropriation bill an Item of $l2OO for State Freight Ton. nege -Agents on the Pennsylvania and N. C. 'Railroads.

While the subject was under_ consideration On . Saturday, after two motions to postpone had been voted down, Mr. Breckinridge, moved its postponement till Monday next, at 2 o'clock, V. M. He desired to say that during his service as Presiding Officer there bad been but one discharge, and that where the party was actually guilty of dishonesty. None of the Senators were aware of the political principles of any. of its officers, and he hoped that if they were to be re moved, it would be postponed till De. cember, so that they could obtain em ployment for themselves elsewhere, in the meantime. These quiet and. dignified remarks caused the senators to be ashamed of their hasty action, and the subject was postponed. ACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. —On the let of February; 1850, Sena. tor John P. Hale, Of New Hampshire, presented.two petitions from Isaac Jeffries and other 'citizens. , of Penn. sylvania, and , John Woodward and others praying that ‘SOIIIO plan might 14 devised for the .dissolution of the - American Union." Mr. Webster of Massachusetts, was unsparing in de nunciation of the petitions, and sug• Bested that there should have been a preamble to them in these words : "Gentlemen, members of Congress : Whereas, at the commencement of the session, yr u and each of you, took your solemn oaths, in the presence of God, and on the Holy Erangeliths, that you would support the Constitution of the United States—now, therefore, wo pray you to take im mediate steps to break up the Union and overthrow the Constitution at coon as you oan." .Yet this petition received three votes, John P. - Hale, of New Hamp: shire, William H.

Such work may dp well enough for a spell, but sooner or later they will be held to an account for their infamous partizanship.— Fearful of the verdict of the people of Philadelphia, at the coming Spring election, they enacted a law abolish ing the Spring election of that city, and eontinuing the, present Republi can officials in office six months be yond the term for which they were elected,—or until next October. The Governor, with indecent haste, signed the bill. The Legislature also passed a bill taking the power of appointing certain officers from the Supreme Court of this state,—its only object being to exclude Democrats from said offices. By such mean work' the pres ent Legislature is disgracing itself. Re?. The President, has made the following appointments which have been confirmed by the Senate.

If an ex tra session is called it would involve the country in an enormous expense, while the advantages are scarcely per ceptible. The last Congress:spent its time in ending out hoW -hot to act, and an extra Congress would not be much better, and might make things much worse. The real object of an extra session, however, is said to be the repeal of the new Tariff, which is urged by the free-trade interests controlling the Lincoln administration. If such is the.fact we•trustno extra session will be called, at least not until -the new Tariff has had a fair trial. lig.. There Is a bill before the Leg islature authorizing banks established under the Free BaNking Law passed by the Legislature at the session of last year, to issue small -notes. The Republicans arc determined to.tinkor with Banks and the Currency until neither will be worth having. We have plenty of specie in the country ut present:---get along well enough without small notes, and hence see no necessity for any such law as pro posed. The'outrage,if possible,is still greater, of allowing only the new Free Banks to issue small notes. If the people are obliged to have them they would far prefer the issue of the banks which they know to be respon. Bible. • a Carl Shurz has been appointed Minister to Portugal.

The 'country banks are following the example. KrOwing to' the weakness and • vascillatmg policy of the administra- Lion it is feared that the border states will soon take steps for secession.— Had the administration pursued a firm and just course of action seces sion might have been stopped with the seven states that are gone, but, being this that and the next thing in turns and nothinff t' long, all confidence is lost in it by the border states. The Union sentiment of Virginia has been almost completely revolutionized in the last month just on this account. Where great majorities were given for the Union a short time ago, last week majorities were given for seces sion. Thus at Petersburg the returns show the vote as follows :—For seces sion 879; against secession 762. The union vote in February was 427 for, and 1013 against. secession. If the policy of the administration is peace, why is not prompt action taken in that direction ? IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON The order issued for the evacuation of 'Fort Sumpter. WAsumoroN, March 23.—The Presi dent yesterday issued an order to Ma joi.• Anderson to put his command in readiness to evacuate Fort Sumpter, upon the arrival at that place of a United States war steamer. Colonel Lamon, of Illinois, the confidential friend of the President, was sent bearer of despatches to :Slajor Ander son. The evacuation will take place tlpon the arrival of the steamer which lfas been despatched ty the Secretary of the Navy. There is no intimation whateVer, on the part of the South Carolina au thorities, that any attempt will be made to prevent the evacuation in such a manner as the United States Government have seen fit to employ. Major Andersen will salute his flag and embark with his command. Ma jor Anderson is ordered to report North. If any attempt is made by the South Carolina authorities to prevent the evacuation in the order directed by the United States Government, Maj. Anderson is instructed to remain in the fort and open his batteries up- on the city. The official census of the United States.is completed ; and- it, shows- a total .of thirty ono millions, four hundred and twenty-nine thousand, eight hundred and ninety-one (31,- 429,891.) Of these, three millions, nine bun. tired and fifty.one thousand, eight hundred and one, arc slaves. Be- A biil,is now before the Legis lature to prohibit the introduction in to Philadelphia during the months 'of May, June and . July, of any porgies or sea bass that have been caught north or east of Sandy Hook, 'Or south of Cape _Henry. The bill has been brought forward under the plea of 'preventing the importation of .un sound fish, but a law already exists to such an end. Should the bill pass it will result in giving the fisheries of the Delaware river a monopoly of our market during-the season named, and-will:so:enhance the prize'of fish that. the- poort4- ChuMeirof our citizens will -be deprived of their aecustomed food. That bill is just like Philadel. phia, and a fit one for a Republican Legislature to pass.

ACY.--ID the U. S. Senate on Wednes. clay, Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, made a speech on the troubles of the na tion. lie considered a reconstruction of the Union impossible, and there remained but one of two courses to pursue, anamely, war, with a view to subjugation, or the recognition of the independence of the Southern repub lic. He gave notice of a proposition which he should offer. investing the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, with power to accept the declaration of the seceded States, that they aro an alien people, and authorizing him .to conclude with them,a, treaty acknowledging their in dependence as a separate nation. LABOR UNDER THE NEW TARIFF.— The Phoenix Iron Company, at Phce nixville,Chestereounty,one of the larg est manufactories in the United States, have given notice to their employees, numbering from 1200 to 1500 men, that their wages will be reduced from ten to twenty five per cent. on the Ist day of April, the same day the Mer rill tariff bill goes into effect. SMALL CHANGE.—During the last week the- importation of specie into New York, with the amount en roots from San Francisco, as ad, wised by the Pony Express, amounts to K 066,169. Thia avalanche of spe cie adds largely to the vast amount of money lying idle in the bank vaults waiting for a settlement of the irre pressible conflict, ind the consequent revival of busine*.., IMPORTANT OPITION OF THE-ATTOR NEY GENERAL.—The -Attorney Gene ral has given a written opinion to the President that under the 89th section of the, law of 1799 it will be impossible to collect any revenue in any of the seceded States. That sec tion declares that the trial of any fact regarding a violation of the revenue laws shall be within the judicial dis trict in which the seizure or forfeiture occurs. As there are no Un i ted States courts, judges or marshals in any of the ports of the seceded -States, there arc no means, under existing, laws, of enforcing any penalties for violation of the revenue, even if it were prac ticable to appoint a collector to reside on-shipboard within four miles of the port. HORRIBLE CASE OE POISONING AT ROCKFORD, ILLUNOIS.-T e Cincinnati Gazette of the 16th instant says: "We have reports of a horrible case of poison ing at Rockford, Illinois, by which a whole fam ily, consisting of father, mother, and eleven chil dren, have been destroyed . AB poisoning was produced by eating pork, in the curing of which some deadly substance (probably blue vitriol) had been used by mistake for saltpetre. The father, who died first, was buried on Saturday, on which day the rest of the family died. They were buried on Sunday, hearses haying been pro -.cured from the neighboring towns." MT z, CHARLESTON, March 23.—Captain Ferguson, of the steamer Planter, who returned this morning from Fort Sumpter ; reports no preparations for evacuation. Major Anderson was rather increas ing the defences by pouring molten lead in the crevices bf the sally pot Is, strengthening the weak stone work, c. The works on Morris Island have advanced with such rapidity that no fleet with reinforce ments can pass the batteries. There is the utmost vigilance night and day, and all suspicious ves sels are obliged to come to. Major Anderson declines receiving verbal or ders to evacuate Fort Sumpter. LATER NEWS FROM TEXAS.

AN OWNER'S RIGHT TO TOO SOl4 FRONTEV ON STREETS.--Judge MELLON decided on Wednesday that parties owning ground fronting on streets or alleys are entitled to soil to the middle thereof, and that a city or borough has no other than a right of way therein, and such other acts upon them as may be necessary to keep them in repair; that a city or borough cannot excavate the stone, gravel, sand, or other material therein, for the purpose of making merchandise of it, nor author ize nay one to do so; and that the owner of a lot or alley can sustain an action of trespass against any one entering into the street or alley in front of him, between the line of his lot and the mid. die of the street, for the purpose of taking• out material, or for disposing thereof to others.

A RIDE WITH A CAR LOAD OF 11069.—the Springfield Repatiticon of Thursday says that a poor wanderer from that city who wished to make bis way East as cheap and soon as possible bad a difficult and disagreeable passage to Springfield, over the Western Itailrued;on Monday evening. While the ens-tern stock train was standing upon the track in Greenbush, Monday afternoon, the eeenumiml traveller got inside of a freighr ear loaded with live bogs, consigned to Hartfort or some other point on the Southern Road.-- The ear was uncomfortably filled, and the time consumed by a freight train between Albany end Springfield being nearly eight houra, the now passenger became weary and fell asleep.with his swineish companions. The latter being hungry, and considering the room of the former better than his company they resolved upon a lunch, and commenced devouring the peer fellow. One of his cars were badly bitten,, his face disfigur ed and both his boots fairly gnawed from his feet while the remaining portions of his body and garments were indescribably defiled. He was not discovered until the train arrived in Springfield. Tux REVOLUTION IN TEXAS.—Affairs seem to be approaching a crisis in Texas. The State Convention has passed an ordinance declaring vacant the Gubernatorial chair, and that of the Secretor:) , of State, on account of the refusal of those at present holding them to appear before the Convention, as did the other State officers, upon due notification, to take the oath of allegi ance to the Confederate Staten Government.

A QUEER MISTAKE. — One of the ri diculous mistakes which will some times befall soldiers, befell a whole file of the snugly attired military of New Orleans on the day of the Twiggs reception. They were drawn up along the street in front, of a building in coarse-of construction, and close in their rear was along mortar bed, two feet deep with that plastic composi tion, ready 'for the workmen. The. space between the files, for the pass age -of the carriages, being puller narrow, the ofiicer ordered his mon to take a step back. They did so, and about twenty feet of "sogers" in staataneously disappeared from sight backwards, the front file, in close or. der, preventing the rear rank from recovering themselves when their heels stumbled against the mortar bed. They were submerged, and ev ery soldier of them had his pretty uniform spoiled. They took cabs,a,nd absquatulated instanter. The narrow limit of the longest life is every day becoming narrower still. The story is tdld of an Italian State prisoner, who, after some weeks confinement, became suddenly aware that his apartment had become small er.

John Foster yet more appropriately resembles our time to a sealed reservoir, from which issues daily a small quantity of water, and when the reservoir is exhausted we must perish of thirst; but we have no moans of sounding it to ascertain how much- it originally contained, or whether there be enough remaining even for to-morrow I 100- The San Francisco Herald says that a gentleman in that city possess es a pup ancLa, pig between whom a warm friendship-has arisen.

A POI;T• MOATEM PAYMENT.-T C fol lowing curious anecdote is related of M. Carvalho de Moraes, the Brazilian Minister at Brussels, who died sad. donly on New Year's Eve. In the morning of the 31st December, M. de Moraes went to his banker's and drew out a sum of 30,000 L The banker, who was no other than the represen tative of the house of Rothschild, as the accounts for the year were either made up or on the point of being so, requested his client to date his check for the let January. This was done, so that the 30,000f'. were paid to M. de Moraes on a check dated the day after his death. 21co enjoyment, how ever, incon siderable, is confined to the present moment.

But suddenly a light dawn ed on the Senator. A neatly - witten note in a lady's handwriting came to view, applying for the office in her own behalf, and giving but a single name as reference, and that the name of the honorable Senator himself. Ile had known her deceased husband, intimately and most favor ably for many years, and was no stranger to the young widow herself.

It is said, by those who are posted in these matters, that maney is easy, and although a good deal of it will change hands on the "first," there is no likelihood of a pressure.
