The Whig majority (2 towns to be heard from,) is 1976 in a vote of 8380. If any other State can do better than this, she is welcome to, but we should like to see the vote; if not, we claim tho r lag which is to reward the btate giving the largest majority in proportion to its vote Below are returns from all the towns in the Staie except Charlestown and New Shoreham which will not materially vary the result. Rhode Island has done her duty, and has per formed the pledjre she made when the Old Hero was nominated. When our express arrived with the glorious intelligence, a Whiff procession was formed at the lown House add marched through the city to the inspiring music of the Brass Band, and the far louder vocal strains in honor of Old Tip pecanoe.

Correspondence of the Cour. it Inquirer extract to the editor dated Atlas Office, Boston 3d Nov., 1840. My Dear Sir I send you with this, a slip from my office, containing the latest news from Maine. Returns are in from 22 towns, mostly from Cumberland County, and the nett Whig gain over the September election is 294. Four of these towns, in York county, show a Whig gain of 100, and the remainder of the gain is principally in Cumberland county. These returns are far more favorable for the Whigs than our most sanguine friends had an ticipated, as they expected to lose something in the sea port towns, by reason of the absence of many Whigs, who were at home in Septem ber, and make their gain in the country towns. Instead of a loss, however, we are gaining ground, and if the country towns do as well as they promised, the State is safe for Harrison by a large majority, I have a letter from the Chairman of the State Central Committee, dated at Portland, half past 8 o'clock, last evening, which says, " we have thus far outdone all our calculations, and the prospect now is that wo have swept the Stato by a large majority," Yours.

The following particulars are from the New Haven Herald of Wednesday: Our neighboring towns were shocked yester day with the report of a most dreadful murder, and tho suicide of the murderer, which took place at Wallingford at an early hour in the morning. The circumstances as stated to us are as follows: A woman, the wife of Atwater Allen, of Wal lingford, applied to the Superior Court, now sit ting in this town, on Monday last, and obtained a bill of divorce. In the operation she was as sisted by a mart named David H. Hotchkiss, in whose house, arid under whose protection she had lived for the last twelve months. On re turning from Court on Monday evening, Hotch kiss wished her to marry him, but her mother coming on a visit to her, and wishing to confer with her,she declined. The mother and daugh ter slept together, and Hotchkiss in another room. In the morning Hotchkiss called on Mrs. Al len to get up, which she did not do. and he called a second time. His call not being at tended to, he became infuriated, and having pro cured an axe he went into the room and struck the woman while in bed with the axe, each blow proving fatal, but with savage ferocity he turn ed the edge ot his axe, and literally chopped his victim limb from limb. The desperate man then returned to his own room, and with a knife severed the jugular vein, and in a short time bled to death. He seems to have beea sitting on the edge of the bed, when he thrust his large pocKei Kime mio tne side ol his neck, by which le opened a jugular vein, after which he walk ed a few steps towards the door, as the bloody racK oi nis leet indicated; but probably finding limself faint, returned and threw himself upon the bed, where he soon expired. vve understand tharalrthe parties enared in this are of the lowest order of society, and very intemperate. The immediate agent in this awful catastrophe was rum, Hotchkiss havin purchased two quarts on Monday, most of which le naa consumed. HEAR COIi. CUOGHAIY! TJie Slanderers of Harrison Sinallr II c bilked ! Among the basest deeds, even of Loco-Fo-coism, is the trick of Kendall and Blair in pub lishing certain letters of Col. Croghan, written to Gen. Harrison under a temporary misappre hension and excitement, some fifteen years ago. How they were obtained we cannot discover; but the Globe distinctly admitted that it had m authority to publish them! But this was not the worst of the business. They were falsely giv en to the public as the " Correspondence hcticcen Col. Croghan and Gen. Harrison,7' while Gen. Harrison's Utters were entirely suppressed! and their place supplied by a malignant and de ceptive commentary from the en of Ames Kendall ! Could knavery go farther than this 1 Col. Croohan. we perceive, disdains to bo even a passive accomplice in this base assault on his old commander. He has come out with a direct disclaimer of the whole Globe manu facture, stating that the publication of his ol I letters was unauthorized, and that he regards Gen. Harrison as a wise and able commander, without fear or reproach. But we leave his. letter and that of Gen. Gaines to speak for themselves; only entreating the friends of Gen. Harrison and of the Country's honor to place them in the hands of every honest man who has been deceived in regard to Col. Croghan's feelings and sentiments by the falsehoods of the Loco-Foco press. Here are the documents: From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. S. Below we publish the correspondence be tween Col. Churchill and Col. Croghan, relative to Gen. Harrison. This correspondence puts to rest the vexed question of Col. Croghan's opinions of Gen. Harrison, and will, doubtless, put the Globe man to much uneasiness, as it overturns all his labored arguments to prove Harrison ungrateful to Col. C. The communi cation comes full late. If any injury has re sulted from the publication of Col. C.'s private correspondence, this will hardly be to neutral ize its effects. By the way, we cannot esteem it any thing else than a false delicacy which has kept this exposition back thus long. Whilst we admit the propriety ol a U. b. omcer keep ing aloof from the party contests of the day, we cannot see any obligation resting on him to stand by for months and see his name used to do injustice to another Correspondence. St. Louis, Sept. 26, 1840. Dear Colonel : I am well aware that you take no part in the political wartare of the times, and it is from no desire to draw you from your neutrality that I now address you. During the last two years I have had the pleasure frequently to meet you, and have nev er yet heard you declare yourselt lor either o: the Presidential candidates now before the Peo ple, and I have no wish to see you commit yourself on this subject. 1 believe, sir, that ypur relations with Gen. Harrison as well as with Mr. Van Uuren are of the most friendly character, and that you regard them both with feelings of friendship. Whilst you disparage neither, I have heard you speak of both iu terms ol praise, and i leel satisfied that you will answer the questions I ask yon in the can dor and sincerity of a soldier. Some letters of yours have been recently pub lished during your absence from Washington and many have endeavored to produce tho im pression that Jrou hare authorized the publica tion, and have thrown your influence against Gen. Harrison. I do not believe that it is so ; but would like to learn from yourself, whether the publication of those letters was authorized by you, At Tippecanoe you were one of the Aids of Gen. Boyd, and performed a glorious part in that, as in other hard fought battles, which have added to the fame and honor of our country. I should be pleased to know if on that occasion. or at any time during the war, Gen. Harrison showed any want of braver'; and further, if the ground selected for the encampment of his troops at Tippecanoe was injudiciously or im properly chosen. During the war, sir, you performed a most distinguished part, and your name will always i i ... . - be associated wnn us most brilliant achieve ments, as long as there is left one American heart to admire your gallant and glorious de- ence oi oanausKy. i ou have had as good an opportunity to term a correct opinion of the courage and conduct of Gen. Harrison, as any other officer, and I should bo pleased to have your opinion upon these matters. Respectfully yours, SAMUEL B. CHURCHILL. St. Louis, Oct. 6th, 1840. Colonel Churchill: In reply to your letter of tho twenty-sixth ultimo, I can only state, that the publication of the letters to u'liirli -J. ude was not authorised by tne, and that t nev er, during the whole war, saw General Ilnrrisu: at any time show any want of courage.
