I= Foreign News-by the America, GLORIOUS HUNGARY. Tho accounts froth the seat of 'war in ,Hungary, the great battlefield of freedom in - Europe, aro. de cidedly facorsble to tha csuse of I Hungarian hide renderiee. The most cdfktraclictory rumors are Cir culated, but the truth aiOars thrOugh the mist at last: After she battle of the 11th of July, in which Hayinii,. tlfe - Atiritrian . commander-in-chief, stiffered ieverely,'and% both .parties continued to hold the same ground before Comore, Gorgey, the Hungarian general, appears to have rested for a few days.- IleansyNlo, the Hungarians had evacuated Pesth, and - vanished from the Bakony forest, 60 that a di vision of the Austrian, army,. under Molkte, was enabled to occupy Buda vithout opposition, end piler re-constructing a part f the suspension bridge \ i, denies dterDanulie,to enter .estli, which was also visited by the Russians on the 12th. The latter, under the command of Paskiewitch, the Russian commander-in-chief, pressed on to Waitzen; but Gorgey. who - aripears.lo have been aware of all their movements, moved to meet them on the 14th, hav ing left a garrison in Comcirn \sufficient to'keeellay tutu in cheek. The latter appears to hove been out-generalled, for, on the 1511,, he marched by the tight bank of the Danube so Buda. On the morning of the 1:i h, a tremehdonti attack was made by the Hungarianq on part of the great' Russian army at Wsitzen. Upwards of forty thousand men, with 120 pieces of caruin, under the command of Cur gey, broke the Russian lines, and forced them to re treat in disorder to Dona Reesh and the Kakosh plains, within a few miles of Pesth. The Russians were nimble to bear up against the repeated char ges of the Magyar cavalry, led by Nagy Sandor, the Hungarian Murat, and which are described to have been alike brilliant and terrible. Nothing sat ed this portion of the Russian force , from anni hilation, but the arrival of the Austrian General, Remberg, front Pesth, with considerable reinforce vientl and the a,rpearance of General Sass, with the Russian reserve corps of 15,000 men. The bat tle lasted till evening. In the night, the Russians were still further reinforced from Buda, and another action took place on the 10th, but this was compara tively slight, the Hungarian farce opposed to the Anstro-Russians being composed only of cavalry and two battertei of artillery . ; the great body of their forces having moved northward to the enemy. It appears by the Vienna GaZette, that the Russian army retrogaded on the 17th towards Pesth; and there are rinnorsdhat it had been attacked also by Dembinski, who has been appointed the Hungarian commander-in-chief. who had formed a junction with Gorgey; but this requires confirmation. At any rate, the latter has broken through the Irnperalist or Absolutist lines,- anis marching northward, either with the intention communications." cutting ofrPaskiewitch's di e communications with Ge rals Grabhe and Sacken, or of attacking the latter at a disadvantage, and thus forming a junction ultimately Witlithe concentrated Magyar forces,' on the plains of the Tueisq. In the meantime, the main Rus l iap force is crippled, its loss at IVaitzan being,reported as "immense." Nor is this all. Great numbers of sick, as well as woun ded. are constantly arriving, in vessels at Preoburg; fever anil cholera being very prevalent in jhe Rus so-Austrian army, while some divisions of it are beginning hi suffer from delicient'supplies . of food, a want which is likely to increase as the campaign is prdonged. It is this that has caused Ceodajeff; the Russian G'nerat, to abandon Debreczin and the country around it. Neutra is again in the hands of the Hungarians, and guerilla parties abound in the neighborhood. TIEI DEFEAT A:IF THE BAN JELLACH:CiI sot rIINEN BATTLE OF DISTRITZ. Accounts have been received of a great battle, in whicll . l3,Mi, the Polish Hungarian lemler complete ly nefeate'd- the Austrians miler Ban Jellachich. It appears that Bem crossed the Fianz Canal, at the head of:50,00 men, teak the entrenchments of the Cmats by storm, and after a series of combats, Which-lasted four days, compelled the impetialists to mise r.o siege of Petorwardein, and to evacuate the Bastik. The troops of the Ban, dispirited by defeat, arid diminished by sickness and combat, can 'make nt, head p‘rainst Bern, who has marched to the south, and the Imperialists fear that he will enter Syrulia and :iclavonia. The Ben has determined to retire, in order that he may not be cut off: and numbers•of his fugitive troopshave arrived at Usseg • mid Mitrovitz; his heed-quarters are at Civil. Bern -has entered Zomber amidst the ,acclarnations of the -people, and is now at the Itof a hundred thou sand men, in complete possession of the south of Hungary. The Imperialist authorities themselves confess that they are not aware of the exact position of Jellrichich, because all the roads are in the pos ressinn of Elem. - Accordibg, , to the General Correspondence of Vienna, of the 21st ult., the Bacska and Czaikistr are seriously menaced. The Bacska was actually evacuated. but the latter was still in the hands of the Austrians. The head-quarters of the Ban are at Bovil. The flentrarian troops, who are said by the Austrians to he fanatically devoted' to Kossuth, *have taken the route to the south, and the army of the Ban, diminished by sickness, can oppose no suf ficimit force againsl them. The greatest enlister nation reigns in . 83:rmin and Sclavonia. They fear that. the Hungarians' will cross the Danube, and make a devastating, attack. on the confines. It is even feared that. Bout will not hesitate to invade the Venetian territory. Peterwardein is still invested on the side of Svrrnia. This news receives con firmation, from the circumstance that nett] Marshal Ilayr:au, following the advice of Feddzeugmester Nugent, •tiad resolted uputi sending two new corps to reinforce thil Austrian troops in the south. Other accounts from the same quarter substan tially hear out the above, but there is no little con todiction in the statements which they give, which , I ma) very well be accounted for if, es is stated alio e, Dem has such complete command of the south of Hungary. Outs thing, however, seems pretty certain, that the actions between the opposing troops are of a very obstinate and sangtlinary nature, and that they are unfavorable for thelAustrians, or we ihould have fuller accounts of tt.eir movements. . Our Vienna papers and letters are of the 2211 ult. They contain the following bulletin, which confirms our former accounts of the defeat of Bail Jella- cinch; For some time considerable bodies of insurgents were' assembling along the Bncser canal, thus menacing the southern army. In order to be be forehand with the Hungarians, the Ban advanced front Median on the Franzen's canal towards Heg yes. 'His troops arrived in the night without meet ing with the enemy until'cluse up to Hegyes, when the Hungarian "tirsillenrs" opened their fire. The gallant Lukaner battalion repulsed the enemy, who fell back upon liegyes. Theother brigades were equally successful. At break of day a violent can nonade commenced, and the Hungarian columns 'attacked the right flank of the Ban'.s army, but were repulsed by the grligade Horvath. However, as the enemy by,deg,-eeslbrought an overpowering number of troops into action, the Ban retreated, fighting, and in the best order, to Kis-Ker. (This is con .siderably to the south of Jellachich's original posi tion at Verhasz.) As, on the same day, the posi tions at Foldear and Perlasz (both fords of the Theiss, the former on the north, and the latter on the southeast frontier of tgeyshnlkist district) were violvotly - attacked. it may be supposed that a gene tatmut ernent had been anned by thb Hungarians. _ The loss on both sides burs evidence of the fury of the conflict. The bulletin proceeds to state that the Ban's ar my sulli.rod a lost, of GOO killed and wounded, and among them 14 officers. It is, however, evident that the. loss of life must be greater by far than the number quoted in the official reports. The head - quarters of the Ban arc assorted to be at Roma, in St rmia. We are further informed of a battle which was fought by the Ijongariaus against the Servian chie Knicanin. It took place on the 20th ult., at .Per liiss, but nothing whatever is known of the re sult. , • The Constitutionelle Blatt au* Bohmen has the following account of the surrender to the Hungari ans of the important fortress of Arad, in the South of Hungary, which utt translate. Af.er more than a hundred wagons had been sent our, came the entire garrison, 1000 men strung, in roll unifulm, and after military salutation on both sides, 'laid down t their arms. According to. the terms of the capitulation, they are to be escorted to the boundaries of Steyermark. Their officeie re wined, t heir swords. The Commander, Berge r, went n tife troops. Before their departure; the gni . - - iton Were obliged to lobe • att oath net to fight against Hungary for the space of six months. The Hungarians fitund . in the fortress 65 cannon, 15,000 muskets, With a steak of powder, bombs, and other munitions of war.: ' . The Constitutionelle Zeiguit - of Munich had the following account,of the hattle.of Waitzen: Georgey had marched from'Comorn toward Wait zen with his whole force, and had probably efrected a junction with -Dembinsliy.• 'The_itiportant pos ition Waitzen had unaccountably been occupied on the, part of the Russians; only by the Musselman regiments and was accordingly evacuated on - the 15th July, on the arrival of the Hungarians. The 3d Russian corps . happened to be on the same day on the march from Hatvan to Waitzen; the 2d was moving against Aszod, and the 4th, which he had been sat to Debreczin for nothing, had been ordered back after that blow in the air, and was following the army. The 2il attacted Gorgey's main body on the 15th, near Waitzen, according to the Russian bulletin, vainly, while, according to private informa tion it was driven back to Dunarecz. However that. may be, at evening, on the arrival of the 2J corps and the Austrian troops which had entered Pesth, the battle was arreSted. and on. Gorgey's side was kept up onlr by a cannnnade. - On the 16th, he left a small rear - guard in Waitzen, an that PaskieWith, as his bulletin naively enough confesses, had, in me - owing the struggle—of course successfully—in ,tiremorning, only to do with an unimportant divis ion of infantry, instead of the great Hungarian army. That army - had, in the meantime, marched toward I poly valley, to threaten the whole Russian line of operations, for the security of which ,Paskiewiteli at once ordered the 4th corps d'asmee back to Mis kolcz. In this way, Gorgey is now operating with his whole army'between the Corpatchians and the Austrian and Russian armies, leaving no obstacle in the-way of their junction. It is hard to under.' stand how the Russian leader failed to apprehend Gorgey's design; if it had been his purpose to break through in front, ho would - have remained all day in front, he would not have remained all day quiet at Waitzen. All this alThir was nothing but a feint to cover the march of the Honved battallions upon the Theiss, Szaszherenyi [pronounced Sasberenyi] and Heves. While the main body of the Hungari ans was marching away unhindered, the Russians _stopped fighting till they should have new reinforce ments, and no longer answer the feebly served artil lery on the enemy. '['he following isiven in the New York paper's as the latest: 1 i ORTANT FROM HUNGARY. The latest Vienna advices mention that the Ban had been completely routed, and driven back a dis tance of fully 25 miles. 'lt is said that the country towards GaMein is swarming with Hungarian irreg ulars. Intelligence from Pesth, dated the 19th. denies the rumors, that Haynau had been superseded i n command of the Austrian troops. A Russian corps has been roughly handled, and forced basic into Wallachia, after having endeavored to force an entry from Moldavia in Transylvania. The latest advises states that 13,'m was marching on Cronstadt, which was filled with wounded and fugutive Russians. A correspondent of the Ost Deutsche Post, writing from the Lagoons, speaks of 9,000 biting laid up with the epidemic fever of the place. The sick lists are full, and the worst of it is, the convalesent are un able to serve again as longtas they remain in that climate. Many regiments are quite disbanded, the siege operations suspended, and a mere blockade ob served. A last trial will be made to bring them to reason. Field Marshall Lieut. Baron Augustus pro poses assailing the town with 24 pounders, charged with grenades and red hot shot. Advises from Constantinople inform us that the Porte has issued a protest against the marching of Russian troops through Transylvania, mid gives no tice that if the Russians attempt to repass they are all to be disarmed. This energetic protest and notice is said to have produced a great sensation. Before quitting Pesth,,.. Kossuth published a pro clamation, in which he says: Noble inhabitants of Buda-Pesth!—Remain quiet and tranquil! Receive your enemies, the Austrians as guests. Hoist the Imperial flags, that no harm may come to the heart of the country—to the most self4levoted 'capital on earth. Wo are forced to leave you, for we cannot develope our forces here.— „t h p Be of good cheer,' for in a few :non s I shall return to this beloved city. 1 have eve ty 'my word, and I will do so again. Before, p rmg Iron you, dearest brethern, 1 will take care hat you shall not want. It is now supposed to be the OA of the Hungari ans to concentrate all their forces, excepting a strong garrison at Comor'n, in the dist ries' of time Theism', the scene of the former exploits; and according to the London Stam,tdorii of the 27th ult., the Hungarian question seems te be in a fair way to work out its own solution—the repeated.succJsses over the im perial and Russian forces which have lately been "gained by the brtive Magyars, appearing to seeder the protraction of the war to any extent an alMost impossibility.

HEAVY EMEEEZZLE3IRNT .—lt NUS co vered dq; on &milky that gold to the amount of One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Seven hundred &Mira had been embezzled from the Bank of Missiouri. The disclosure,had caused some excitement al though the'slovency of the Batik had not been el', fected. On Friday evening a heavy draft -was presented by PAge & Bacon in paying which the Paying Tel ler resorted to some boxes containing foreign coins: these boxes together with others had been laid aside fur re-coinage of - contents, but the keys of the vault containing American gold having been temporarily misplaced. these were, resorted to; on owing the first box a bag of Ten Thaler pieces was missed—from another a bag of Sovereigns was gone, and so on.— The Teller gave information to the President and the Directors on Saturday; when it was discovered that from thirty three boxes coin which hid all beep counted and sealed up last March, tl t ti.Nl,7oo had been abstracted. Only the:foreign gold liasteen counted so far, but a thorough examination will be had , to day. It is thought, the defaicatin will not be found materially greater.

CHOLERA P;IVIC 1-f INDIANA .- A letter, dated Alamo, Montgomery county, Indiana, says that the cholera bad broken out with fearful virulence in that town, and that nearly all the living and well events aced their homes and went to the woods, some six miles distant, where, at the date of the letter, tbey were living in tents, &c. The sick and the dead were left to the charge of the few who had the courage to face the scourge. Moro than one-fourth of the population were taken with the cholera, and the larger proportion of the cases were fatal. Sev eral died in one night, and even the physicians, ter ror-stricken, fled the town. The letter is written from the woods, and says that those who have token up their abode there, live in the hope of entirely es caping the epidemic! In the town of Covington, not far from Alamo, there had been many cases and several deaths, and a large number of the inhabitauta had also gone to the woods. MURDEROUS Dunt,.....Two young colored men, named Charles Hanson find Levi Smith, fought a desperate and bloody duel with knives, by them selves, in an upper room of a house in Yeager's Court, in the Southern pan of the city, on Friday afternoon.

From the Savannah Georgian From passengers by the 'Florida boat, ,we learn, ,that another express arrived at Palatka, just as the boat was leaiing, giving. Information of the murder, hi the Indians, ofsix or seven negroes, the proper ty of some of the'settlers,on,the,Manatee, between Tampa Bay. and Char lot le's Harbor, , It is further reported that the company of tr oops from Tampa, with a few volunteers, came upon the trail of-the Indians,' and . puraueil it to the banks of a strearn, - (the name of which We did not learn,) wherd tfie_bridge used fur crossing had beendestroyed,,and the Indians, to the number of one hunked, appeared on the opposite side, armed and painted, giv6ig the war whoop, dariag the troops to cross. Being so small a-number in comparison to,. the Indians, the troops felt obliged to decline the invitation, and re turned to Tampa. These repeats ' which are said to be well authenticated, evinces 'disposition to hostil 7 ity we have heretofore snggested, and of another regular outbreak. • All the plantations are deserted, and the frontier towns along the St. Johns, Lake Monroe, &c. are placed under military discipline. Dwellings on plantations most exposed are being picketed in, as during the last war. It is rumored, but we do not credit it, that reini forcements of other Indiana have made their way iu- ; to Florida from Alabama; and other quarters. Gov. Afosely has issued a requisition for a large number of volunteers,, and will prosecute a war of, removal or extermination. We have heard of the requisition amounting to the number of five dred, and that if necessary it will be Wilier in creased. I ' We learn that orders were received from Wash-I inglon by Major Loud, the commander of the post! ut Savannah, yesterday morning, to have the coo,' !nand in readiness to move at a inpinent's warning to Florida. Priest DrltNnsozA.—The SI. Paul Pioneer. - of the 25th alt, contains touch interesting information re specting affairs in that embryo State. The Pioneer has a very able leading editorial, counselling the people of the territory to allow no sectional. clan nish, or partizan interests to create dissensions among them in the elections which were approach ing, arid calling upon the voters to elect candidates only on account of their qualifications, whether they be Whigs, Democrats or Free Soilers—farm ers, Vvood-sawyers or attorneys. A hovel and important enterprise is thu.ssmention ed by the Pioneer:— ' "A company, composed of Messrs. Sibley, Rico and Ramsey, jr., having purchased of Mr. Freeborn the lands intervening between the estate of Mr. Rice and the brook crossing the Fort Snelling road, above the cave, have marked out the design of con 7 ductingtthis clear and apbbry rivulet into town.

A project has been started to build scrim the Mis- 1 sissipiii river, from St. Pau! to the west bank, as soon as the Sioux title to the latter shall be extin guished. It was thought that unless this be dune, a rival town will start up on the opposite bank. • The Pioneer publishes the proceedings of several public meeting held in the territory to nominate_ candidates for the Legislature and delegate to Con gress. the only person in nomination for the hit ter office is the late delegate, Hon. H. H. Sibley, who will be undoubtedly elecled; The van of the Red River twin, numbeiiing from an hundred to two hundred carts, made ehtirely ,of wood rind green hides, and drawn by oxen and pu- Oes in harness, reached St: Paul on the 22d ult., ith furs, hide., bald() rubes, dried butralo tongues, pemmican, &c. They were forty days on the route. The settlement is increasing. Some political ex citement prevails there. The French half-bre&ls had given notice to Mr. Thorn to leave their coun try. The fuss originated in the arrest of some Ilia breeds for violatinT the law by trading With the In dians for furs. They were arraigned before the last assizes. Five or six hundred men assembled and surrounded the court house, armed with_ guns, to intimidate the Court. The question of fret, trade With the Indians keeps the settlement in a complote ferment, and is likely to become a very seder dif-, (lenity. Two steamboats had arrived at St. Pall with pleasure parties from St. Louis; one of them. also brought a cargo of cattle, wide!' seem to be much wanted in the territory. When this boat, the High land Mary reached St. Paul, a tine band of music on hoard of her struck up, and were answered with,' a terrific yell from some Sioux Indians on shore,— This fearful sound at midnight caused the boat -to retire to the middle of the stream, but it being Ois 7 covered that no harm need be apprehended, she re turned. ll 1 Tun STOCKBRIIiOB INDIANS.—A remnant of one of the-tribes of Ma'ssuebusetts Indians, who waged a bloody war upon the pilgrims in days of yore, when warriors like ,rhilip the Pendot lived, haS been transferred by one removal after another, to the shore of Lake Winnebago in IVinconsin.

The total weight of the crop miodnced upon two acres and a half cultivated by him was ten tons, from which three tons of flour were obtained. ruin the stems of the plant, which may be cot twice a year, and can be eaten as a salad or spinach, ninety gallons of strong acid were obtained, which, 'whet' mixed with three times its bulk of water, was well adapted for drink. The acid, if fermented and brought to an equal degree of acidity with vinegar, is Superior to the latter when used for curing or pre serving meat, as it does not render it hard, or com municate to it a bad flavor. The Lour obtained from the Oxalis Crenate is sit. perior to that obtained front the potato, maize, or buckwheat, as it makes an excellent light bread when mixed in the proportion of enc.:fourth with corn flour: this is not the case with potato, maize, or buckwheat flour. It is hardy and unaffected by change of tempera ture, and grown readily in any soils, it being difficult when once introduced to eradicate it.

SATURDAY MORNING, AUGTST 18, Ism 41 NOMINATION. DiaftOOR.A,TZ FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, JOHN A. GAMBLE, OF LYCO THE AUGUST ELECTIONS! The Triumph of the Democracy Complete S I The no-party humbug of Toylerisno has exploded, the resali of which can be seen in the Western end South ern elections. Taylor's broken pledges have rebounded —the people have taken a "sober, second thought.",and repudiated him in thunder tones. Listen! bentsia,—The Democratic candfdates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor have been elected by 8000 majority. Both branches of the Legislature are Demo crats, and the Congressional delegation will stand 8 dem ocrats, 1 Whig, and 1 democratic Free, Sailor. TMs is a clear Democratic gain of two. KENTUCKY.—In this State our friends have done , nobly. They have gained two motnbeis of Congress, and lost one. On the popular vote they have mado large gains. In tho Louisville district, where I Gen. Taylor had over 1330 majority, the contest has been so closo between Marshall and Lano that the whigs acknowledged Mar shall's defeat dutil within a day or two, and it is even now not certnin that such is nov i tlie result. In the 10th District, Stanton,. Democrat, is elected over Maj. John P. Gains, late whig member. This dis trict gave Taylor 308 majority, but what is more sign 6- cant is the fact that Stanton was ono of tho victims of Taylor's violated plodges. In the 4th District G. A. Caldwell, annecrat, ele l eted over,Bunchner, late federal member. This distriet iave Taylor 2,466 majority TXNNESSEE.—This St te gave Gen. Taylor about 6 000 majority. Now it is Deinocratic all over. Trousdale is elected Governor by about 2OOO majority—the Legis lature yet uncertain, bui the Democrats have gained.two and perhips throe menthers of Congress, compared with t he representation in the last Congress. Glorious Tea -1 - nessee., Nauru Cptouss.—The Congressional Delegation will stand as last year, though some of the Whig candi dates have escaped by ;ho ski 4 of their teeth. Indeed, it is riot yet certain that one of them, Stanley, is not de foaled. EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT-THE PRESI DENT "HOAXED." PROBABLY. The-following proclamation issued by Geu. Taylor upon him arrival at liarrisburgh, will be read with sur prise—surprise, because as yet not the least whisper has been heard of such expeditious as the President warns all good citizens from, engaging in. Wo take it for gran t led that nothink of:the kind could be projected and fitted out in any of t.lits ports of this counw without rumors of it reaching the public ear through once other channel than a proclamation from the Chief Magistrate warning people from participating in them; and if events do nut prove that tho imitator of the "earlier Presidents" has been made the butt of some practical joker or in this in stance, we shall be much mistaken. if it shall turn out, as we believe it will, that this solemn proclamation of the "Second Washington" has been issued without duo reflection or evidence—if it shall prove another_ Lady Franklin affair—in what a beautiful light it will place this intelligent adtninistrution?—an administration that has already disgraced itself, and now seems bent on di , gracing the country. But here is the proclamatio n— a document only equalled in our annals by that of the immortal Joseph Rimer, of "Buck-shot war" notoriety: WASHINGTON, Aug. 14th. There is reason to believe that Mt armed expedition is about to be fitted out in the United States with nn in tention to invade the island of Cuba or some of the Provinces of Mexico. It is the duty of this Government to observe the faith of this Treaties and to prevent .a ty aggression by our citizens on the territories of friendly nations. I have therefore thought it to be necessary and proper to issue this, proclamation to warn all citizens who shall ebonite' themselves with an enterprize in violation of our treaty obligations that they will thereby subject themselves to the heavy penalties denounced against them by Our Acts of Congress and will forfeit their claim fo the protection of their country. go such' persons must;expect the interfereMco of this * government in any form in their behalf, no matter to what extremities they may be reduced in consequence of their conduct. An enterprize to invade the t nritories of a friendly nation set on foot and prosecuted within the • limits of the United ( States, is in the highest egreo criminal. All good citizens as they regard ; our tinfoil'sl reputa tion. as they respect theiti own and the laws of nations, as they value the blessings of pence and the welfare of their country, should discourage and prevent by all law ful means any such entetprize—and I call upon every officer of this governmen , civil or military, to use all ef forts in his power to arrelt for trial and punishment every such offender against the laws providing for the perfor mance of oursacred obliotions to friendly powers. • Given under my loud the I Ith day of August, in the year of our Lord 18-19, mid of tho seventy-fourth year Of the Independence of the United States. L- e , i . Z. TAYLOR, President. JOHN M. CLAYTON. SOCTOtOry of State. The Republic says this proclamation was received at the Department of State in a COMMUI ication from the Ptesideut at learrisburg. . , .. Paoscarrrtotr.—The whips will not understand the position of the Democratic party on proscription. It is not their interest to do so, and hence they will not do it. For instance, the Gazette Calls our attention to a totter purporting to have boon written by AMOS KENDALT .I ., the old Post-Master General, in 1829, in which ho argues that "to reform measures there must be a change of men," and that "the people have more causes to fear too few removals, than too many." We take it for granted that this ,letter is genuine, although we saw it published in 7 the Commercial of July:2,sth over tho signature of "Amos, W. KENDALL," an entirelY ditFerMit individual. But there is nothing in that letter we do not heartily endorse —we have eve! maintained that to the "victors belong the and so long as we have reasoning faculties. we shall continue to do so. What we complain of, there t re—what the DentocratiC party complain of—is the de ception practiced in the election of Gen. Taylor. The ; people were told that to the "victors belong the spoils," was no part of Gon. Taylor's creed—that ho "hated and loathed proscription." and that ho would not enquire whether a man was a whig or Democrat, - but whether he was honest. All this whig Editors and whig orateri endorsed—all this the Gazette endorsed—but all these pledges. - all these promises have now been broken, dis regarded and laughed at. This is what we complain of —this is what the democracy complain of. and this is what has "caused this great commotion the county thro'," defeating the Tayloriteel in every election since the in augural, from Connecticut to TOnnessee. In conclusion we bog leave to call the Gazette's atten tion to the following from the Blum Hens Chicken, one of the first papers to nominate General Taylor (Or the Pres idency, and always zealous in his support.

" 1 I The following letter from Hott#ca Haws, Esq. forta ear of this city, and lato our Cotten! at the Society b lends, will be read with interest —especially as- it gives the first reliable information of the arrival of the Erie California company, which loft in February last. Their numerous friends hero will learn with pleasure of their safe arrival and continued good ho.dth. Mr. H. is a elfiewd observer of men and things, and a politician, whose views of the condition of - California, political, mineral, and social, are entitled to weigh t. BAN Fit•scrteo, June 20, 18-19. Deity Sloan:-1 have but a moment to write to you be fore the departure of the steamer. Your Erie boys, Messrs. Browns, Bolden, Vosburg, Dobbins, &c. have arrived all in good health and spirits, an item of infor mation which will not only be interesting to you, but 'doubtless to many others who read your paper. California fira strange country—that is the condition of society and affairs is strange and unprecedented. There is one peculiarity that pleases me; labor kas its due re ward. The laborer gets tho moot of the "dust," as he ought everywhere, according to las industry and capaci ty. You cannot oppress labor here now, while the coun try is entirely free from those political institutions which elsewhere exist, and tend more towards tho aggrandize ment of those who aro idle, than to the protection and sociality of the "millions who toil." Every man hero gets juet'what he can earn. Holwill not work for sonic speculator for a dollar per day when ho can go and pick up an ounce or two of gold for himself in the sauna time. Hero the working man hus the advantage. He gets pos session of the geld on his' own account first of all, acid other classes receive it at second hand. I hear that some gentlemen about Erio have filmed companies and engaged laborers to dig gold for them on shares in California. It will work well until they get to the mines, but after that, the share that each man will take, will be just what ho can di'g and carry away. A man would lie quite "green" in California who would divide his gold after he has got it, with others. Every man that digs, digs "on his own hook." They do'llt appreciate companies or corpoptious, chartered, or un chartered. This experiment of bringing , laborers from abroudifini been tried, but has always laded. Titolcon tract is disregarded here, , and there aro no bonds strong enough to secure its 'observance: If Seamen, who are subject to personal arrest and coercion, Fanuoi bo made to perform their shipping contracts, certainly none others can. Tho ships aro deserted by their crews the moment tho anchor is down in the Port of San Francisco, the dif ference between $lO per month and $2OO per month is so great that.''Jack," though he is not over-fond of mo ney, perceives it at once. San Francisco is becoming a great place. Moat of the people live in tents, there being as yet probably not above six or seven hundred houses of wood. The uniouut of goods imported is very groat, and prices are generally very low, and immense sacritfOus iyill bo mado in conse quence of the over-supply Re-exportation has com menced, and considerable quaivies ul goods are going out of t h e country to find a marke4—lumber however is great ly in demand. and commands from $3OO to $5OO per thousand feet. Common labor is worth hero about $lO per day. Carpenters get $l4 to $lB per day, At the mines some of tho diggers are successful and sotto not. Considering tho many hardships to tio encoun tered I do not know that 1 should come to California if I wore at home and in possession of all the inforinahria I how have. The people are making a move to form a State Go vernment, and next winter, tell my friend Thompson, the delegates from Califorma will be knocking at the dour of the Capital for admission as a l Stato of the Union. There is anything but a feeling of satisfaction hero with the result of the last session of Congress so far as California is concerned, though I cannot- miselfsea hew they could have got over the formidable difficulties iu the way of passing a Territorial Bill. However, the people of California will speak fur themselves, and put an ever lasting quietus upon 010 1 tremendous question that has lately agitated the country on your site of tho mountains: They do not want,slavery, and they will never Nava never!

HORACE HAW ES 117 We do not know when we have enjoyed a heartier Ibugh than on Wednesday, after reading the article in the Commercial, ostensibly aimed ut us but in reality, di rected point blank at Mr. Treasurer BALL. Su fares it touched us, we did not care a fig; consequently when we saw the venom with which he struck over our shoulders at the very vitals of a mail honored with the . confid Ince of the !_great whig party" to the extent of Mr. Ball, and rII because the Editor surmises that ho was instrunien-. al in leading Goo. Taylor to believe him neither "hon est nor capable" for the post of Collector of this Port, we could not suppress our risibilities. In boyhood we have enjoyed many a hearty laugh over the controtions of. a snake, pined to the earth by some rude boy by menus of a split stick, and the writhings of our cotemporary, in the article alluded to, under the iron heel of our personal friend, the state Treasurer, was so ludicionsly like such long-forgotten scenes, that wivelionted again with a heart as light and a voice as clear as of old. nut laughable as the article is, wo are on calmer reflection, sarry td see it. The apposition and abuse of the Editor of that sheet has already raised Mr. B. from a Justice of the Peace to the State Treasury, and we are afraid if he continues it ho will ultimately make hint Governor, a result we would be sorry to record, for however much wo may esteem him as a neighbor and' citizen, wo would deem his eleva tion to such a post, as izreat a curse as could befall our state. Wo hold not one sentiment in connnon with Mr. B. on political subjects, and probably never shill, hence wo shall not defend him from the imputations aimed at his political fame by the Commercial. That - we leave to the Editors of the, Gazette, his peisonal and political or gnu.

Like Capt. Scott's coon, they are ready to "come down" without firing a shot. For instance, the Pittsburgh Commercial Jo . urnal, upon the report of the first. gun from Tennessee, said: "The returns from Tebnessee, so far, look unfavora ble to the Whigs. This is not unexpected, on the con trary, the record of pblitical crews in our country has uniformly shown that for the firs year or two following the success of either party in a ctestfor the Presidency, Me defeated party in this, obtained in the subsequent state elections, signal local victories. Thus, following Mr. Polk's election to the Presidency in 1844, for the first limo in many years a whig majority was obtained in Pennsylvania even, and in 1846 our Ca nal Commissioner and a largo majority of the Delega tion to Congress were triumphantly elected." What is this but a virtual surrender of tho contest this fall? If "the record of political events has uniformly shown that for the first year or two following the success of either party in a contest for President, the defeated party had obtained signed to local victories" what chance has whigery in Pennsylvania wo should like to knowl— And if the defeat of the whigs in the states jnetlheld their elections is to be attributed to the cause named by the Journal, wheals there to prevent the same cause producing like results in this state?

Terms $1 25 in advance. 'the now and retiring Editor abundant prosperity.. I For the Erie Ohlterver. ERIE AND NORTH EAST; RAILROAD Mu. EDITGR.—t wish to. briefly nonce the letter of fent. **lend," published in the I•rst Observer. in relation to the terminus of this Road. His argurnents.len say, "struck you with much forca;" it may have struck others in n similar way; not so however with me, and I trust, upon examination and reflection, all who have been led to think his.project plausible, will are it is 'founded in error: Your correspondent says "the road should make a de tour east oldie town so as to secure its reaching the wharves by locomatire power" instead of going down State Street us prOposed. His reasons are in entntance as follows: Ist That ;t will savo 61cts. per ton on freight going to or front our docks, which 61cts additional expense, will causo freight, which would otherwise' be transship ped here, to pass over 110 miles more of Railroad and transship at Cleveland. 21 When the Road is made westward from here it must ho commenced at the wharves; making it more dolleult and ekpensive, and thus, tend to delay en extort. slop we do not yet want. - Now for the - force of his arguments, in saving this Qs. per ton in reaching ou6locks. He says carry out his project "anti eccry child coo see the advantage cf sending cat!go direct from Detroit to Erie, the Lake transporta tion being no more than to Cleve'and;" it therefore fol lows, that unless freight going fro - m here to Detroit. or west of that point, and vice versa, can be carried over the Railroad between this and Cleveland for 61ets. par ton (the cost of taking it from the depot to the docks at this place) his apprehensions are groundless. I see by some Railroad statistics in a late New York/ferafd. that it costs on an average, :lieut. par ton per mile for trans portation of freight over them. This Road, if not diver ted out of its proper course; having less grades and cur vature than the average of our Railroad* will reduce the cost of tinnsportation, say to 2cts. per ton per mile: or $2 20 per ton between Erie and*Cleveland, giving an advan tage in fiver of transhipment hero on all freight going to or coining from west of Cleveland of $2 131 per ton, and on freight goingtto or coining from Cleveland not less than $1 l3i per ton, so it is nonsense talking about a competition between . Erie and Cleveland in tho busi ness to be done over aßailroad along the south shore of the lake. This Road will however have competition of the strangeet kind to contend with, both in the Pennsyl. yania Central Railroad terminating at Cleveland, and the proposed Road through Canada—a competition not ima ginary but real and formidable. Adopt tho views of your correspondent, and ulhat is the result? instead of the Road passing the whole way from Buffalo to Cleveland on a grade not to exceed fifteen feet to the mile, you plunge down with all your througk freight and passen gers one hundred foot to get to our wharves, and up the same elevation again to get away from them; in doing which, if you keep the grade even within the maximum of fifty feet to the mile, you are forced for a long distance along the _high, irregular, abrubt, and treacherous clay hank of our Lake shore; and by the increased grades, reduce tho Road to at least one-third its capacity compar ed with its present location, or be subject to the expense anti delay of attaching two extra Engines in going each way from this point, to draw the same train over these increased ghdes that one Engine would manage through the balaneelof the ItOdtl. To carry out this project would involve nn expense in the first instance, the interest of which wood three. times orer pay for carting all the freight front the present proposed depot to the wharves, to say nothing for the yearly outlays. -.Many think this cartago would benefit the place: see, for instance the way they tonnage in Pittsburgh in carting their goods from the Ca nal Basin to the steamer* on the Monongehela side. In fact this ntig,l4 be done here so far as any fear of compe tition from Cleveland is concerned. However, putting such an tinnee.-sSary tax upon through freight would be wrong: the hulk of such freight should not be broken untill it reaches the wharves. The plan au track down State Street with the use of hor.e power is the true one in my opinion; nor only for the interest of tho town and company, but for our ,For w;arder. Supposo you go down with Locomotives as proposed. you cannot get along the outer pier to the front of the different Store Houses, as the slips to be left open will cut you off; the consequence would be, a General Depot: which would of course belong to the company, 'anti all freight peas through it; witness for instance the Railroad depots at Detroit end Sandusky. This should he guarded against; and in no way in my opinion can it more effertnally he done than by this plan of horse power on a track-down State Street and on out to the Public Pier, then turn and turn parrallel with Peir in front of all the Store'Houses upon it. You may - also divuge from this track near the foot of the bank on State Street and run bra hes ont l any other street whero trade arid indi vidual interest mar call. In regard to the fax* the present location for a depot Offers to an extension of a Road west to Cleveland, I presume but few hero have nny apprehensions of its I:a -log accomplished too soon. The views of yaur correspondent were evidently thews together in haste...es he says, and I should judge, con clove d in haste. I think upon reflection, he will see his error. This "commingling of the, smoke and steam of Locomotives and steamers" does very well in fiencifu pro , p'ective, hut stern reality should have a hand in thisl matter: and I fear, should his plan be carried out, we would not realise our expectations. ERIE. A GAZETTE FALSEHOOD.—The Editor of the .Gaxeirc does not scruple to falsify facts to cover the defeat of his friends. In speakii of the Congressional election in Kentucky, ho says: ""The stand taken by whig candidates in favor of the abolition of Slavery, exerted an influence preju dicial to their success." The falsehood of this will be seen by the following, from the Louisville Courier, nit rapid a Whig paper all the Gazette: 7th. We feel confident that in this district the whigs have succeeded, though the majority is somewhat re duced. Col, Marshall has run under many disadvanta ges, and has been warmly opposed by many_ ichigs on account of his refusal to mix up a State question with national issues. Becauso he would not take side with One of the local parties, he was UNJUSTLY charged with being an Emancipationist, and many GOOD WHIGS have by this silly cry been frightened off from his crampon. So it would seem that it vas not exactly the Demo crats that were opposed to emancipation, but it was "many good taiga." and that one of the "whig candi dates" was "unjustly charged with being an Emanci pationist." Tho Gazetio will have to invent some other excuse to cover its defeat. . ' As we Exrimvxm—The Editor of the Gazgllse, aiwo. were lead to expect from our knowledge of his character, is still disposed to continue his personaliliea—still indul ges in hie hypocritical sneers and dictational tone, towards us. We had hoped n different course, but not unexpec tedly have been disappointed. Let that pus, however. He has choose his own course.—ho has made his own bed, and now we hope he will repose upon it without wincing or whining' when he shall hereafter feel the thorns we have in pickle for him. We intend in future to call things by their right naines—to expose falsehood. duplicity, bypecracy and political dishonesty and knavery. wherever we find it. Let there be no whining appeals; for they will do no good! SAD ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, between 12 and and 1 o'clock.
