JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN Thursday, October 18, 1849. ff? There was no paper issued from this office last week. We were engaged nearly the whole of last week in tearing down our old Press and fit ting up a beeitor one. We hope this, in connection with other matters, which occupied our time, will bo received as a sufficient apology for the delin quency. 07 Mr. JOHN KUNKLE, residing near this place, met with quite a serious accident on Satur day last. He had been to Easton for merchandise, and on his return, when within a few miles of Town, he fell from his wagon and two of the wheels passed over his abdomen. It is almost a miracle that Mr. Kunkle should have survived a' moment, when we reflect, that some twenty odd hundred weight was on the wagon. We are hap py to learn that he is fast recovering. Calithnmplans Beware ! John Lewis, who was one of a party of vaga bonds, in Schuylkill county, who recently serenar ded and insulted a newly married pair, was tried week before last, and fined $5, the costs of pros ecution, and imprisoned ten day3. Alexander E. Brown, Esq. This able and eloquent champion of Whig prin ciples deserves the hearty thanks of the Whig par ty for the energetic manner in which he conducted the campain in the Senatorial district composed of the counties of Northampton and Lehigh. The majority for Gen. Cass was fiom 12 to 1500 in the district, and we had. consequently, at no time, any expectation of Mr. Brown's election. It was too much to expect that the energy and popularity of any one man should overcome a majority so over whelming, and yet we learn by the Easton Whig of yesterday, that he has actually reduced the ma jority of his opponent, Gen. Shimer, to 125 in Northampton county, and is defeated in the Dis trict by only 329 votes. Result iu the State. The vote throughout the. State is very small. Mr. Gamble, the Locofoco candidate for Canal Commissioner, is no doubt elected by a majority ranging from 10,000 to 15,000. Bucks The Whigs have gained a Senator in this District. Whig Assemblymen are also elec ted. Lehigh gives Gamble 335 majority; Lebanon gives Fuller 700 majority. The whole Whig Ticket elected. Deal, the L.

The Pittsburg Post and Juniata Register, with several other Locofoco Journals, are very earnest in their endeavors to make it appear that the re sult of the late election m Pensylvania, is a ver dict of the people against Gen. Taylor and the policy of his administration. Such, however, is not the case ; and the opposition might as well at once abondon the effort to bring odium from any such result upon the gallant old hero who never yet surrendered to his enemies. It is per fectly idle for them to hope to be successful in creating an impression here or elsewhere.

The cholera has further declined in London and throughout England. In Liverpool the disease seems rappidly disappearing. Turkey has not yet delivered up the Hungarian refugees. The leaders are at Weiden in Walla chi, and it is believed , that as soon as the requi site facilities can be obtained for them, they will be allotted to go wherever they please. Comorn still holds out, and nothing of impor tance has occurred at that fortress, although it was reported that the Hungarians had made a sal ly on the 13th, and obtained some slight advan tage over the Imperialist troops, and had captured several scalin ladders. The terms proposed by the two deputies sent by the garrison to Acs are understood to have been rejected. Nothing definite has yet been arranged with re gard to Hungary ; but with regard to the schemes of arrangement thrown out, apparently as feelers, there does not appear any insurmountable diffi- from only 25 counties, so that it is impossible to say what the majority will be.

In the House the whigs have elected 31 members, and the democrats are certain of 34, and may have 35 but the chances favor the whigs. Expedition of Sir JTopn Franklin. The Cleveland Plaindealer of the 5th inst. has a letter dated " Ste. Marie river, September 28th," announcing the arrival of Sir Jobs Richardson from the fruitless search after the lost Polar Ex pedition of Sir Joiix Franklin, of whose dreadful fate among the icebergs of the Arctic ocean there is left little or no room to doubt. Sir John Rich ardson, having failed to find even the remotest clue to the Franklin Expedition, is now on his way back to England. He left there in April, 1848 ; and from the Saut Ste. Marie has made the voyage in canoes and boats and overland, a dis tance of three thousand five hundred miles and back, by the way of the Lake of the Woods, Mac kenzie's rirer, &c. Alter reaching the Arctic ocean, they travelled five hundred miles along the coast. He speaks confidently of the existence of a northern passage ; its practicability, he says, is another question, the summers being only from thirty to sixty days long. He goes by way of Toronto and Montreal to Boston. where the democrats are reported to have a ma jority. The returns are not made,out legally, and the matter will have to be settled by the Legisla ture. It is thought that the democratic Senator will be excluded and the whig admitted. We have no full returns from this city, on account of the Judges of five of the wards disagreeing. The returns so far indicate that the whigs have gained two representatives. France now enjoys perfect tranquility, and there is no prospect at present of another political agitation Indeed, public opinion is apparently becoming more and more averse to revolutions in proportion as the increase of trade and commerce exhibits the advantages of internal tranquility Tremendous Fire lit New Orleans- Five Steamboats Burned Loss of 8250.000. Neio Orleans, Oct. 8. Five steamboats lying at the Levee, were de stroyed by fire, last evening. The fire broke out on board the Falcon, soon after 11 o'clock. A strong wind prevailing the flames spread to the steamer Illinois, and thenco to the Marshal Ney All exertions to save the boats were unavailing Several piles of freight on the levee were burnt Other boats were in dancer but were saved The Falcon is a new boat, built at Louisville, where she is insured by the owner, for S20,000. She arrived yesterday morning, and fortunately, had discharged nearly all of her cargo The Marshal Ney had taken in a very valuable ronage, and that patronage been conferred upon cargo oi iorwaramg gooas ior tne west, among working Whigs, instead of mere Parlor Politicians, which were one thousand hogshead of sugar. The who have no sympathy in common with the great loss of boat and cargo will not fall short of eighty mass of the Whig party, and are only bent on thousand dollars. The owners of the Ney reside their own individual aggrandizement, we should in St. Louis, and are believed to be insured now be enabled to rejoice over a glorious victory, The Illinois arrived at noon yesterday, with a The causes which led to the disastrous result on the 9th in3t., are easily traced, and perfectly well understood by every Whig who actively par ticipated in the struggle.

Two fellows last Friday, says the Noth Ameri can, made an attempt to swindle a young man from the country, by pretending to find a well filled pocket book in Third street, near Chestnut. Fortunately for him he had not in his possession the amount they asked for the prize ; and the rascals, finding they had drawn a blank, very clev erly passed off, leaving him to envy them their good fortune, and grieve over his own ill luck. The affair affected him so seriously that he went to the Mayor's office to give information of the finding of the pocket book with $600 in it, in the hope that the owner would regain it. The officers at once understood the thing, and, perceiving the unsophisticated nature of the young man, they ex plained the elephant to him fully. He was as tounded. They asked him if he read the news papers, and he replied in the negative they did not wonder then that he was pitched upon as a victim by the rascals, and congratulated him that beside being ignorant, he was also poor.

It has received the ap probation of the Commissioners of Kmigratio n of the State of New York, the Presidents of the Ger man and Swiss Societies, as well as of the Mayor of the city.

Sugar, It is estimated that the exports of su gar from Cuba for 1850, if nothing occurs to in jure the crop between fht and the early part of December, will be equal to 1,500,00 boxes, worth at present rates (molasses included) about f 33, 000,000. The largest crop ever exported hitherto, was in 1847, amounting to near 1,300,000 boxes ; since which date the .cuUirttloB has been in creased, and the present season has been uncom mon! r farorable.

Georgia is by no means an irredeemably convert to the doctrines ot bouth Carolina nullification. The Season in Washington. The correspondent of the New York Express under date of the 28th ultimo says : ' The weather is charming at Washington just now, but with some cases of chills and fever to makemany wi3h for that killing frost which alone can kill this disagreeable visitor. The season seems like the Indian summer, except that there is an unusual heat in the sun, and it is a bold ex periment for a stranger to venture out in midday without the protection of an umbrella. " The approaching session of Congress it is an ticipated will be one of high interest, socially and politically, and preparations are already making for the celebration of a gay winter. Many from distant sections are preparing for a winter resi dence at the capital. Every year this is becom ing more and more a custom, and the custom which is but another name for fashion will soon make Washington, for its season, as Saratoga and Newport -aie for theirs, the focus of fashion, pol itics, and in time of the wise and learned of the country." A few days later the same correspondent writes : "They are revelling over flowers in Washing ton, as if it was the season of spring time there. The roses never appeared to us as full, beautiful, fragrant, and numerous there, as in this month of October. They line the doors of the tasteful dwell ings, spring up from every garden, adorn every parlor, and almost perfume the atmosphere. Washington, nowithstanding the constant lack of political aroma, is the real city of roses, and there is always political spice enough at the capital to make the flowers in contrast all the more refresh ing These are some of the real causes which pro duced our defeat, and it is folly in our opponents to pretend that the result affords any evidence that the people have become estranged from Gen. Taylor, or that they have less confidence in him now than they had oneyear ago. However much dissatisfaction some of the appointments of the ad ministration may have created in our midst, and however much that dissatisfaction may have con duced to our defeat, we have yet to hear the first man to censure General Taylor for them. All confide in his integrity of purpose, and feel assu red that he would not knowingly or wilfully make an improper appointment. They know and ap preciate the difficulties which attend the dispen sation of public patronage, and feel well assured that the noxious weeds of the administration need but be brought to hi3 attention to have the prun ing knife applied to them. Gen. Taylor, let our friends abroad rest assured, is still first in the af fections of the people of Pennsylvania, and wil be nobly sustained at all times when his own acts come before them for approval. Nothing can be more certain man inai tne lveystone State wil sustain him in his endeavors to administer the eov ernment after the illustrious example of Washing ton. uauy news.

Post Office Embezzlement i.v Ohio.--The Cleveland Herald aays ihat for years oast considerable sums of monev remitted through the mails from Cleveland lo Pittsburg, have been lost, and the Administration had allowed the embezzlement to pass undetected. Som weeks since, the Postmasier General intruded the Cleveland postmaster, D. M. Haskell, Esq., io aaopi energetic measuies lor tho detection of the offend era, and it was done. A package enclosing some $250, nearly all in counterfeit money, was prepared, and mailed at Pittsburg, and its course traced until ft was stopped at tne omce in frederic, Mahoning County. A decent was made upon this office, when Mr. John Ickis, the Postmaster, denied that ihn package had come, but search was made, and the money, minus the envelop and wav-bill discovered in the haymow, which bein neither a proper place for the mailt, nor one of the safes prescribed by the Sub-Treasurv law in be used lor public deposits, the Postmaster was arrested.

A Hlonth tater from California. The steamship Empire City, Capt. Wilson, reached Ne York on the 9th instant, from Chagres whence she sailed 28th ult., bringing San Francisco papers to Sept. 1st received at Panama by the steamer Panama, making 38 days from the metropolis of the gold region. She brings also $450,000 of the half million shipped by the Panama, and 74 of her 250 passengers. We compile from the Daily Ad vertiser and the Tribune (he subjoined summary of the news: The Convention for forming a State Consti tution assembled at Monterey on the 30th Au gust the day before the Panama sailed. Of course she could have no proceedings. The number of delegates called for by Gov. Riley's proclamation was 37, but many supernumera ries had been elected. General Persifer F. Smith had gone on an expedition to the moun tains, on the Sierra Nevada. Col. Fremont was at Monterey. The Vice Consul at the Sandwich Islands died at San Francisco on the 26th August. Lieut. Beale, bearer of Dis patches from New York, arrived at San Fran cisco and proceeded to Gen. Smith's Head Quarters. The general health of San Francisco re mained good, notwithstanding the arrival every day of unacclimated strangers. A virulent form of diarrhoea had occasioned much suffering within the past month, but its severity was slow ly diminishing. The same complaint had made its appearance in Stockton, Sacramento City, and different parts of the mines. It was by many believed to be the precursor of that terrible scorge, the cholera, and by others a moderate form of the disease itself. Hon. T. Butler King was no better, and fears were entertained of his recovery. His disease was an attack of the prevailing dysentery. In regard to the Gold product, the accounts are as favorable as could be expected, and more so than those by the last arrival. The waters were lower, and the hard labor of the miners appears to be well rewarded. The mist of ex aggeration is being gradually cleared and the true position of affairs in California can now be more easily ascertained. It is evident that the supply of gold in the auriferous deposits, al though not inexhaustible, is very exteniire, and that hard labor in the dry and wet diggings is well repaid. Fortunes are not found in every pocket, and, as in all lands, some are unfortunate or unlucky. The movement toward the formation of a State Constitution is proceeding, and a decided Anti-Slavery spirit is manifested throughout. The troubles anticipated with the Chilians and other foreigners do not seem to have been ex perienced, and ihe removal of these " outside barbarians" from the diggings ha3 been, par tially at least, accomplished without resort to actual violence. The indications of a high regard for law and order among a respectable portion of the citi zens of California are confirmed by this arrival, and those dissolute characters who have flocked to the Pacific expecting immunity for all their crimes, meet a more stringent justice than they left at home. A San Francisco paper has the following an nouncement : Post Office. Jacob B. Moore, our new Postmaster, arrived in the Panama, and has entered upon the duties of bis office. Nearly 20,000 loiters were received by the late mail. The present arrangements are insufficient for tbo rapidly increasing business, and we are glad to learn that Mr. Moore is preparing to make such improvements as will insure a ready and prompt delivery. We learn by the Alta Californian, that in the month ending Aug. 20th, 3,806 males, and 87 females, arrived at that port by sea. Two small steamers are plying on the wat ers of the Sacramento, and a dozen sail boats. " Six churches havebeen organized in San Francisco, viz: Presbyterian, Baptist, Meth odist, Episcopal, Congregational and Roman Catholic. Most of these have Sabbath schools attached. Upon the Sacramento and its tributaries, are at work about 15,000 men, and with the year ending next January, they will doubtless, re lieve the earth of little less than $20,000,000, and this we consider a moderate estimate.

It is a remarkable fact that ihofishare dying by thousands upon the Sa'cremento and its trib utaries.

Buffum, at $2 50 a head, by subscription tickets, transferable. The San Francisco News contains an excel lent article urging the people of the territory to turn their attention to agriculture. San Francisco seems to be growing with as tonishing rapidity. Tho News says : An absence of a week and one scarcely knows where he is on his return. Fine store houses are taking the place of tents and hovels, and beautiful goods are arriving daily from Chi na and elsewhere, which dazzle the eye of him who expected to see nothing in California but pick-axes, India rubber boots and tents, or pis tols, bowie-knives and dirks. Society too, is as good in San Francisco as in any city of the east, excepting of course, a scarcity of that best gift to man, woman. We notice, however, with pleasure, a daily increase in number of the fair sex ladies who have braved the dangers and trials of a sea or land passage in company with their husbands irrseach of the riches of California. The Cholera in New York. The New York Commercial gives some sta tistics of the cholera in that citv in 1832. 1834 and 1849. The acrcrrefratAn r tlim : In 1832, 3,513; in 1834. 971: in 1849. 4.935. Coraparing the deaths with the relative nbne- lation, the results were as follows: 1832, 1 of every 93,38, or 15,7 in 1,000; 1844, 1 of every 201,85, or 3,66 in 1,000; 1849, 1 in every 86,12, or 11,61 in 1 ,000 subject to an increase of per centage this year for the nero ber of deaths which may hereafter occur by the disease. Some allowance should also be made in 1832 for tho very large number of ab sentees, many of the citizens having fled, pan ic struck, at tho first appearance of the epidem ic, and remained absent during ii3 entire prev stance.
