St. Lonts Correspondence., The Election T)-Morrow—The Enlno:Nothing vote—Oregon -Election•---Oity Cholera-Tail SlatisticB—RazZroada—Msr der—lncrease of 'Salaries—Sub-Treasury, 'Arrival of B. P. Weidler, &a. • Si'. Louis brust 6, 1854. Last night our city waithe scene of great ex citement and commotion. The three parties held mass meetings—the WWl4and Anti-Benton patties convened at the' West and North fronts of the Court House, and the Benton party formed in pro cession and marched in a body to Washington Square with bands of music, torch lights and tram parencies, amid shouts and hurrahs for 'Ol'r Bul lion.' The. meeting of the Bentonites outnumber ed both the other parties combined. Indeed it is said.to have been the largest gathering ever as sembleA upon any political occasion in St. Louis: The time for action is now at band and it becomes the duty of every good citizen to discharge the Jia cred privilege endowed to him by the Constitution of a free and happy people—that privilege is tlfe free exercise of the elective franchise. Before to morrow's sun shall have set in the west, a great political battle will beefought and wan—toe desti nies of the different candidates will have reached their zenith of glory—some to fill . responsible and important positions, whilst others will be left to work the harder at their respective occupations to make amends tor the loss of time and the expenses accruing during the election canvass. The Know Nothings have selected their ticket, Ad the men for whoa they are expected lo vote do not surprise or astonish anybody. I have re pentedly said it was the old Whig party sailing under false colors, and the more I hear and the more I see, convinces me of the realization of my previous predictions. They will cast their votes for M. Kennett, the Whig candidate for Congress, the Whig Sheriff and Marshall, the Whig jailor, and two-thirds of the Whig State Senate and Gen eral Assem6ly ticket—the balance will be Demo cr Is, simply , to satisfy those whom they ,hare en trapped to ploee those Whigs in office and power. I enquired of a supposed 'Know-Nothing' why they did not make an equal division of the candidates, to which he replied—'You see the greatei portion of the organization are Whigs. and it would not be lair to overlook that fact in making up a tick et.' But when I informed him of the simple lact, that those democrats whom; they have ensnared, give them the power of placing those Whig in ot fire, he wen , on to reason in this way, that the Democrats have heretofore held all the offices, and it was high time that a change should taki place.' &c. Thus,you see the object of This new organization, and is it rot strange as well as asion-• ' tonishing that members of the Democratic party can be in duced to join an association so determin e 1 in its objets and designs, to rend asunder the party tor which they have so often and so zealous ly fought. And for what? Not for the sake of placing themselves in important po;itions but to place the Whig party—their old rivals and politi . cal toes—in responsible positions. I hope, for the the sake of Democratic principles, that men of our OWII party will open their eyes and look ahead before they leap. To (lay, whilst writing, the street corners are filled with men, discussing politics, and much ex. citernent prevails throughout the city. There is mole money staked upon the result of this election Phan has ever been at any previous one, and prob ably ever will be again. Since it has been aster tented that Kennett will receive the support of the Know Nothing, thousands of dollars have been bet upon his succese, but I still have a presentiment that Col. Benton cannot be.deleated. Gen. Bullard, of New York, paid our city a visit and addreesed the Benton Democracy and then pro ceeded 9; lowa to engage in the contest there. The Oregon elections have been held and re sulted in laver of the Democratic party. The peo ple de'cided against forming a State Constitution. The 'whole number of 'burials during the past week was 232—a decline of.G4, the deaths from Cholera were 99, Several faial cases of cholera occurred in Muscatine, lowa. It prevailed there fur several (lays to a considerable extent. In Casey( a number of persons have fallen victims to the terrible scourge. About 15 miles from Gale na 111., one of the most appalling instances I have ever heard of in one house, occurred. Among the victims were Mrs. Lamar, lota of her children. two stage drivers, two servant girls, the barkeeper and a man employed about the house. Besides these, who died on the premises in the course of a lew days, one of the attending physicians, arid some others, who either lived in the house, or were in the habit of visiting it, were dead at the last accounts. It is . ststed that all the persons. seventeen in number, who took dinner there on Monday of la,t week, are now in the grave. Miron Leslie, a distinguished member of the St. Louis Bar, died a tow (lays since. The Rev. R. F. Ellis, formerly pastor of the Baptist Church of this city, died at Winchestet.in this State, on Monday last. of btain fever, induoed by heat and exposure. A brother of Edward Milligan', (late Local Mail Agent) arrived here Iron New York, on a visit to toe latter, who,rn he had riot seen for twenty-nine years, was found dead,. in his bed. The cause ot his decease was, doubtless, apoplexy or an affection ot the herirt. There are now 153 patients iu the city hospital. The institution is full and no more carube received and seteral applicants have been refused. following are the commitments to the coun ty jail f•ir the mouth of July:—For fines and costs, 6; 1 neatly, 22; breach of the peace, 3; burglary 1, on peace wai rant, 2; murder, 2, surrendered by ,ecority, I; iunoway slaves, 2; free negroes in- the State winiout license, 4; assault and battery, 4; paEsing counterfeit money, 1, assault to kill, 1; contempt of court, 1; selling liquor on Sunday, 1: for further examination, 1. Total, 31. Discharges during the game period, 22. Number now remain ing in jail, 55. During thesame month the number of convicts received at the lilinois Penitentiary was 7; number pardoned 2; died 1; discharged by expiration 01 sentence 4; now confined 283. The last rail on the railroad between Alton and Chicago has been laid, and the cars are running through—bringing St. Louis and Chicago within 15 hours. This will enable passengars to reach New York six hours earlier. The cars on the Ohio and Nlississippi railroad now run to Carlisle. 50 miles east of St. Louis. The rails are la id with in eleven miles of the junction with the 'lllinois etntrel. Another murder was committed in our city a few evenings since. An English man by the name of Thos. Edgar, shot and killed his wife. He has been committed and is now confined in our coun• ty jail to await his trial. A duel took place on the 24th ult.. at Memphis, between Col. Lindsay and Col. Davidson. Several shots were exchanged, but no blood was spilt. Our City Council has passed a bill increasing the salaries of the various offices of the city gov ernment. The salaries-now are—The Mayor to receive $ 2, 750 per annum: City Engineer $2, 750; Lity Counsellor $1.200, Recorder $l, 500, and re quired to hold an afternoon term of his court reg ularly; Health officer $1000; Superintendent of the Water Works $2, 000; Captain'oi the Night Guard $ 900; Captain of the Day Guard $800; Lieutenants of the Day and Night Guards $5O per month each; Privates of the Day and Night Guards $4O per month each; Calaboose Keeper $450 per annum: Sergeant at arms of the City Council $600; Clerks of the City Council $BOO each. The clause in relation to police requires that they shall wear a uniform to be designated by the Mayor and Chairman of the Committee on Police, and that they shall give bond conditioned for a faithful performance of their duties—captains in the sum of $2,000, Lieutenants $ 1000, and privates $5OO each. There are now four and a half inilliOns of dollars in the U. S. Sub• Treasury, of this city, Mr. Franklin Weidler arrived in our cityto•day from the South. Yours, CAPT. SANDERSON—Dear Sir: The advertise ment in the Mariettian for 'Five Protestant Teach ';ers has been changed this week by the omission of the word Protestant, and the name of the Sec- retary filled up with a -, and followed by a note of explahation as follows: ."The word Protestant, which occurred in a pre vious issue of the above advertisement, was an in terpolation by the Secretary, alter the manuscript was submitted to the inspection at the President,un. authorized by the Board of Directors." . JOHN J. LIBHART, Pres't. MATurrrA, August 8, 1854. By this inlamods transaction we may see to what lengths persbns will go when operated upon by oath-bound allegiance to secret societies. The Secretary of this School Board, Cenvia A. SHAFF NER, has heretofore been looked upon as a man of worth and character, one whose word was equal to his bond,' one who would fulfil any confi ded trust with the utmost rectitude, yet when de manded by the superiors of the 'Know-Nothing' fraternity he dare not hesitate to take advantage• of his official capacity, and clandestinely smuggle an interpolation into an order by the School Board, after the signature of the President,which, it I mis• take not, constitutes something akin to forgery, as well as losing his position as an upright man, and his own self respect, in obedience to the much more important (to him) binding obligations of his miserable tribe. I sincerely hope this act may be a warning to thosewho may think of joining the 'mysterious circle,' as a proof of what despicable tools they may sometime become to further some unlawful . transaction supposed to be for the advan tage of the 'Church Bothers. In justice to the Board of Directors, it will be understood that no action whatever had been taken by them in this gmatter, and not one of them approved or counte nanced the conduct of their unfaithful Secretary if we except his prompt dismissal. Now as no doubt Ex-,Secretary ca/nin a. shaffner, will be lauded-to the skies by the 'Know-Nothings' for his bold and reckless 'slip of the pen,' and be considered quite a martyr, we may also hand his name around as a warning to evil-doers. • Yours truly, • - A TEACHER. Donegal twp., August 9th, 1854. The steamer Atiatic arrived at New York, on Saturday night, the sth inst., bringing la ter news from Europe : There has been a fur , . ther decline in the price of breadstaffs. The German Diet has accepted, without condition% the Austrio-Prussian Treaty. Prince Nakie witch is not dead, but ispreparmg" to resume . command of the Divaube*my. The Nicerny of Egypt has di& of apoplexy.. A despatch from Vienna again reports that General Hess, ,with the Austrian forces de: tailed for the purpose have entered Wallach ia. Prince ffortschakoff has announced hbi intention of defending the Principalities with an army of 250,000 men, and the Russian of ficial documents in that section style the Czar "Protector of the Danubian Principalities." Three of the Anglo-French steamers have ap peared before Odessa and destroyed some works there. Three interpreters of the Brit ish army have also been detectedand shot, for carrying on a guilty correspondence with the enemy. Twenty thousand Russian troops are sick in the Principalities; but notwithstanding this, the Russian army had committed great exces ses in the Dobrudseha, and had destroyed the walls of Hirsova, as they were about to do those of all the other fortified posts in that quarter. The French army of the Baltic had arrived at llebimgfors. Rebellions at Genoa and Modena have been suppressed. In Spain the insurgents have possession of Madrid, having proclaimed a provisional government. The diplomatic corps had been called together at the Palace. The Queen mother in attempt.. ing to escape from Spain, was captured- and imprisoned. A Carlist movement is said to have broken out at Navarre, and the French government has stationed an army . of observa tion on the frontier. A new ministry had been formed, with General San Miguel at the head, and Espartero had been called upon by it. UNLOOKRiD FOR RlCHES—Singular OCORF rence—Dr. P. Bommo, a physician of this ci— ty, died last week at the hotel where he hoard ed. He was a very old man, of parsimonious disposition, and few acquaintances, and we believe not a single intimate. For many years he had an office in Market street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, where he spent his whole time when not at meals, doing apparently little business, and was a sort of Mystery to his neighbors. He dressed ordin arily well, but in all other respects was seem ingly in indigent circumstances. After his deceose however, a person in overlooking his baggage, examined a small carpet bag lying in his chamber, and to his surprise found over $4OOO in money, all in small bills. The deceased, during his sickness, was in constadt fear of being robbed, but did not dis close to any of his attendants that he had so valuable a possession, and the cause of his ex treme solicitude was not explained until the finding of the money. Dying intestate and havinr , no relatives in St. Louis or elsewhere, the public Administrator took charge of his effects, and ordered sale of the furniture and personal property in his office on Market street. Yesterday Mr. Itiggin, the auctioneer, in con formity to the order, held a - sale on the pre mises. While it was progressing and during the moving of the furniture some one examin ed the cellar to take an inventory of the arti cles subject to sale, and in an old box under a heap of wood, came upon over $l7OO in gold and silver. It was in small bags so rotten from age that the slightest handling reduced the canvass to shreds. The discovery induced another exploration of th' cellar and office, and it ended in a still more surprising result—the finding of near $4,500 in Missouri Bank bills, hidden away in the chimney. Diligent search was again made, but as no more money was forthcoming, it is probable that the entire wealth of the old man has been regained. A rumor prevailed, how ever, from the statements of two small boys in the neighborhood, that about the commence mant of the sale a man was seen leaving the office with two small bags of money. The sums last found are also in the hands of the public administrator.—Si. Louis Intelligencer. LARGE CROPS IN EIIROPE.—The London cor re,:pondent of the North American, under date of the 21st ult., speaks thus of the pios pects of an abundant harvest in Eufope : The intelligence, that is reliable from all parts of the country, speaks of the splendid condition of the corn, and the great extent of the growth. The weather is now magnficent with every prospect of a continuance, and we ,may shortly ozpoot to ooc cora. much lower in price; although itwill not be of that character which astounded many a speculator in 1847, when it fell in a month from 104 s to 47s 6. Still it is going down fast. Intelligence has reached here, which tells us that France has very large wheat crops, superior in quality and larger in quantity than the average of former years. The Algeria harvest is already reaped, and large consignments are on their way _to Marseilles, and have materially influ enced prices in favor of the buyer. There is also the almost positive certainty that France will be able to sell to English purchasers in stead of competing with them in their own market. On the continent the crops are ex tensive, and the.markets are not only dull but fast declining. . A circular from Rostock calculates on a large yield, at least one fourth above the usual average of the wheat crop, and more than a full average of other corn. There are the same prospects in the Baltic districts, and accounts are extremely favorable from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. In Prussia there are excellent prospects of great yield, and at Smyrna the grain is unusually plentiful. Egypt the pri ces have greatly fallen, and at Alexandria the corn is more abundant. In the Principalities the corn ikbeing cut by the Russians, but in Bulgaria the harvest has been most abundant on the whole. The prospects of the supplies of corn were very good. Potatoes promise to be abundant, and as these two articles have a material influence on the general price of pro vissions, the food of the people may be ex pected to grow cheap; and should this antici pation prove correct, an impulse will be given to business which it is now seriously in need of. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—An arrival at this port, from Bermuda, gives later and further accounts of the awful cholera havoc in Barba does. The intelligence as respects the progress of the epidemic there, continues of an awfully distressing character. The number of deaths having attained up to the 10th ; ult., the inconceivable number of fifteen thousand or one-ninth of the whole pop ulation, and the epidemic still pursued its un : relenting course, though the number of its victims per day had, on the whole, consider, ably diminished. In the city of Bridgetown where it originally appeared, there were but few cases at the period of the. latest date.
