The Election.
At the time we go to press (Thursday
ereoiog) sufficient retarns-have beep re
ceived, to decide that Col. L. Hall, the
People’/r candidate for Senator in this
elected by a majority of about
400. Blair county gives him a majority of
1496—the largest majority wo believe
ever given to any candidate—Cambria
.gives Durbin between 600 and 700 and
Clearfield gives; him only some 300 or
400. -Mr. Hall is the youngest man ever
elected to the Senate in Pennsylvania. —
His electioh by such a handsothe majority,
in a district -undoubtedly largely J)emo
cratic, pmst certainly establish the truth
of pur assertions, made previous to his
nomination, that _he was i the best and
strongest man named in connection with
tileoffice- •
Jacob Burley has been re-elected to the
House of Representatives by an increased
majority. The entire Opposition county
ticket is elected, by what'majorities is not
yet known.
In Huntingdon county, the Opposition
ticket, with the exception 1 of Representa
tive andßheriffy is elected.
In Mifflin county, the entire Democratic
ticket vis elected by majorities ranging
from 50 to 200.
In Perry county, the entire Opposition
ticket jis with ttho exception of
Sheriff; B. F. Miller, the Democratic can
didatc/is elected* .
In tbe Ouipborlapd Senatorial District
it is announced ithat Irwin, Oppositoin, is
elected. 1
A- K. Mediate, Opposition, has been
eie||ed,to the Senate from the Franklin
District handsome majority.
In Philadelphia, the Opposition elect
both the Sqn&tors, and 12 out of 17 Rep
resentatives.
' .Enough returns have beep received in
Philadelphia to indicate that the Opposi
tion 4iave elected Senators jn eleven dis-
tricts. If so, the next Senate will stand.
22 Opposition to 11 democrats. It is
supposed the House will stand 65 Opposi
tion to 85 democrats. i
The Opposition State jtieket is undoubt
edly elected by a large majority.

onthel3th ulti, near San
tween -Hon. Havid «| S*
Senator, and Hon.
Judge of the Suprenie Court
fell on the first fire, pierced through the
lungs.. Helingered till half past nine
o'clock in &e morning, when he died.—
The community was profoundly agitated
at the melancholy event. Judge Terry
was unhurt. Some of the San Francisco
papers, it is telegraphed, evince adisposi
tionto make iteppearthat Broderickwas
of a; wnsphncy, hut ihe most
prominent ones..assert that the .duel was
conduotedin .-strict accordance with the
code duello. Broderick's pistol wentaff
before he raised it ona dine with his'an
tagonist. Terry’s shot took effect two
inches from tfie N right nipple, carrying
away part of the breast bone. Broderick
suffered intense agony from the time he
was shot'nntilhe died. When the mail
left, two hours after his death was an
nounced the flags of s the city . were at
half mast, and emblems of mourning were
begin n ing to appear in all parts of the city.
„ The following, which is the supposed
cause of the-bloody duel, weelip from the
Pittsburgh Evening Chronicle ;
Boren explanation of the rancorous and vin
dictive footings existing among the prominent
California poUticiaoB, we will have to refer book
to the late campaign, which has stirred up so
much excitement and bad blood among all clas-
of the community in that State- Between
tho Ist of July and the 7th of September, the
political canvass was accompanied by the bit
terest personalities. Senators Broderick and
G Winn both took the stump, and indulged in
such disgraceful abuso and vulgar vituperation
of each other as has never been paralleled in
the annals of political wrangling, prolific as
they are known to be in every variety of scan
dal, dirtiness and malignity. Broderick, as is
well known, whs a prominent anti-Lecompton
ite, and in his speeches was very severe on Ter
ry, cx-Chicf Justice of California, and a warm
Administration man, but ultra-Southern in pol
itics as well aain morals. They hod for a long
time been the bitterest political enemies.
Judge Terry is a Texan lawyer, about forty
years of age. The only public position he ever
held in California was Chief Justice for the Su
preme Court, a position for which he was not
considered* fit 1° either learning, talent, or mor
al character. He was on the beach during the
Vigilance Committee time, and ho was fora
long time held a prisoner by that body for bar
ing stabbed a member of the committee. Be is
very brave, but coarse, and bis general reputa
tion is that of an honest man, who, while on the
bench, could not be approached by offers of
bribery. So long ago as lost June, Broderick,
while at the table of the International Hotel,
said that Terry-was a corrupt Judge. A .friend
of the latter, a Mr. Perley, requested Broderick
not to speak in that .style at a public table;
Broderick repeated the language. For this,
Perley challenged him ; bat Broderick refused
to fight, Arst; because Mr; Perley was a British
subject, hot an American; secondly, because
Mr* Perley was not his equal in political posi
tion; and, thirdly, because the interest of his
party demanded that he should not fight until
after the election ; but intimating that, after the
election, he would accept a challenge from Terry
himself.
Bat the Judge would accept no terms of set
tlement pther thanan unconditional withdrawal
of the offensive remarks made by Mr. Broderick,
and an apo|ogy therefor. It is well known that
the Judge somo time since detcrmined\o pursue
this matter, to tjhe bitter end, soon as the time
arrived to which Mr. Broderick had postponed
the adjustment of these matters; when, there
fore, the result of the election was ascertained,
Terry, who is known ns a man of great nerve
and coolness, sent a polite note to Broderick
through C. Benham, his second, inviting him to
a hostile meeting. Broderick has thereputa
tion of being a man-of physical courage; and
bis,defeat in the campaign just closed, had con
verted his general condition of misanthropy to
that of desperation and- recklessness of life.—
Be, therefore, through the Hon. Joe. MoKibbin,
formerly of this city, prdmptljjresponded. . All
efforts made by the seconds, and friends of both
parties proved vain, and the fatal result of this
political fracas .we now know. One party has
been cruelly murdered, and the survivor, if he
have any heart, or sensibility at all, will pass
the remaining portion of bis life an unhappy
byself-reproach and the mem
ory ofthe ruin his blind rage and rashness have
aecompli&hed.

A Cold Winter Predicted. —About ten days
ago a tremendous drove of gray squirrels, num
bering hundreds of thousands, suddenly made
their,appearance on the Merimac, covering the
trees and waters like a pall. Thousands of
them, were afterwards found dead in the river
and ion the ground. They crossed the Missis
sippi' at that point, and worked their way down
the river, until on Wednesday they reached
Capo. Girardeau, crossing the river at that point
in countleks myriads. The citizens turned out
en matte dud killed them by hundreds. Every
tree and bush in that vicinity swarmed with
them until night, when they all disappeared,
and, .have not been heard of since. Their route
was .marked as by a devastating storm. Trees
were girdled and fields destroyed. Old French
settlers predict a very severe winter,, as it was
noticed in 1834 and 1862 that immense droves
of squiraels suddenly made their appearance,
followed by. intensely severe weather.— St. Louis

A Ccutotrs Speculation. —What a noisy crea
ture would a man be were his voice, in propor
tion; to bis weight, as loud as that of a locust!
A locust can be heard at the distance of one
sixteenth of a mile. The golden wren is said to
weigth but half an ounce, so that a middling
seized man would weigh down not short of four
thousand : of them, and it must be strange if a
golden wren would notoutweigh four locusts.
Supposing,' therefore that a commun man weighs
as much as sixteen thousand locusts, and the
note'of a jooust can be heard one-sixteenth of a
mile!, a map' of common dimensions, pretty
souqd in wind and limb, ought to be of sixteen
thousand locust power, and able to make him,-.,

hundisd miles, and .wimhie sneezed “ his house

men had died. The survivors, 106 in jiambpr,

The discovery co&Brms the previous reports that
have been received. Dr. Bah ascertained from
the Esquimaux, in. 1854, that a party of about
forty white men were on King ‘William's Island
in 1850, and a few months later they found
I their bodies not far from the Great Fish River.

There is nothing more to be told, that is es
sential to ascertain the fates of the Erebus and
Terror expedition. In five years from the time
of their sailing all had perished; But the nat:
rative of the expedition and its calamities will
be looked for with eager interest by the whole
world. For nil civilized nations have had their
sympathies excited in behalf of Franklin and his
lost navigators, and there will bo a sad satisfac- ]
■lion -in knowing what they suffered and how they
perished. ‘ j
Sir John Franklin, whose name will forever
be remembered by reason of his unhappy fate,
was born at Spilsby, Lincolnshire, April, 16th,
1786, being the youngest son 6f a respe'clable
yeoman. He was put to school at Sti Ives, and
afterwards at Louth. Ho had an early longing
for the sea, and entered as a midshipman on the !
| Polyphemus in 1800, being at the battle of Co-
I penbngcu, April 2d, 1801. He saw much and
j varied service, and was signal midship'iuan m;
j board the Bellerophon at Trafalgar. He com- ;
I mnnded the bouts of the Bedford in the fight
with American gun boats at'New Orleans, cap
turing one of the boats, and.receiving a wound -
in the action. In 1818 he was appointed to the j
1 command of the Trent, in the expedition order
! ed to attempt the passage to-India by the polar .
sea, North of Spitzbcrgen, The expedition,
turned out unfortunately, but Franklin gained
much reputation. In 1819, he was sent in com
mand of an expedition to explore the coast of
Afnerica, feast of the Coppermine River.' Tho
result of this was a great addition to our knowl
edge of Arctic geography. -Franklin returned
to England in 1822. In 1825 he was ordered
on another overland expedition to the Arctic
sea; and he had to leave 'the sick bed of bis
young wife, who died the day after he went to
sea. He returned by way of New York, and
landed in Liverpool, September 24th, 1827.
On the Bth of March, 1827, he was married to
- Jane Griffin, the! present respected Lady Frank
-1 lin. In the following year be was knighted.—
In 1830. he was sent to the Mediterranean, ren
dering good service to the-Greek cause. In
1836, he was made Governor of Tasmania, or
Van Dieman’s Land, which office he administer
ed ably till 1843, when be returned to England.
In 1845,- he was appointed to command a new
, expedition to search for the NhrthwpEt Passage,
and he sailed with the Erebus audrlVrror on
the 26th of May, 1845. ‘The record ends with
his death on tiro 11th of Juqqi 1847, at the age
1 of sixty-one years and nearly’three months,

British PcxisinjEsr iron DEsEmiox.—The
London Timet gives the following report of a
case of flogging in the British army for deser
tion : —The first man, nanied Green, bore bis
punishment, ns stated by an eye witness. like
a true soldier,” but the second, named Davis, n
young recruit, protested bis innocence of tho
crime of desertion, bellowed and screamed for
mercy, and supplicated Col. Talbot and the
medical officers and others who were present to
have compassion on him, or he should dio. His
back was covered with a mass of large red, in
flated boils, which bled profusely at every
stroke, and reddened the ground under his feet,
upon which the cat was ordered to be withheld
for a few momenta, when, finding that his pun
ishment was not at an end, he gave vent to ex
clamations for mercy, and partly succeeded in
delivering himself by force from the straps
which bound him to the halyards. The punish
ment was again ordered to be continued, when
at every succeeding stroke his erics and excla
mations were most lamentable, that officers and
men swooned away at tho 'sickening spectacle,
end had to be carried into the open air. One.
officer and upwards of twenty non-commissioned
officers iAid men long in the service fainted, ond
others stopped their ears and closed their eyes,
lest they, too, should become unnerved, nnd4> 6
subject to the reproach and ridicule of their
comrades. x ; v.
