" Ottr campaign subscribers, who do not, „wish to continue with us longer, can signify the same byretuining this number. We trait, liciweVef, that very few, if any, after our br4.l-' iant victories, which '.ensures the continuance of. "good times:4 and in vicwi,of the approaching Presidential election, will feel themselves irri able to within() with us. We aim to publish a good pati : er, and in order to. be successful we need and expect theeo-opeiation anti patronage, or our Democratic friends generally. rirThe war news, which we give at mat length to-clay to the almost entire exclusion of ether - matter, will be found of thrilling interest. It will be Seen that the prowl city of the Az tecs has fallen before our valiant and all-con quetin,4.arths, and that the "stars and stripes" now, wave in triumph-over the world-renowned Halls of ale- Montezuma:l." But the shout, of triumplOs scarcely more exciting than it is , melancholy,' Dearly has the victory been pur-, anted; napy noble spirits have fallen; many heart-strin#s have been severed, and deep and solemnmoiming oversbadowithe land.

Shunk could not bo re-elected The i 'result of the election which haiirjust closed would have been very different if is sue , ' cessfuliatternpt had been made by the political managers 'of Pennsylvania to intercept the wishes lof the people in the nomination of Mr. Shunk; If the primary meeting had been pre occupied by the instruments of a small - cabal of brawlers for "new men"; if the State convention had ben filled with spnri.ars delegates ; the popular' demand that Gov. Shunk should re main far another, term in the post he has: filled so well, had been smothered in a convention falsely iprofessing to represent the democratic party, what sort of vote would the substituted nomination have obtained_ in Pennsylvania? Where would hive been the enthusiasm of the democratic masses which we have witnessed, and thatfaralysis and lethargy of the Whigs? The vote' of the honest yeomanry of Pennsyl vania often puzzles -ordinary pliticiami, who do not sufficiently study moral causes - . The whig leaders of Pennsylvania, just before the late election, were confident of a triumph, but they left out of their calculations one important element at.least—the attachment of-the people towards those vt,ho have served them ably and faithfully. If wo do not learn from the -example of Pennsylvania that it is the true policy of a political party to set up its best men as its candidtites, there is an example of another kind now before our eves in our own State which ought to dispel all remains of -doubt on that head. r i II An4Eanstwo.—The New Orleans Delta has quite a,pitby paragraph on this subject. "Ad vertising," says the editor, "is to business, what oil is to the night lamp. Withhold-the neces• , sary sapply of oil, and the lamp goes out;• ad vertise not liberally, and who you 'are, or what is your business, is known only to a limited cir cle—your expenses will otherwise continue— your business falls off, you break, and your name, I which was never seen to an advertise ment in the newspapers, now figures in the list (?f banktupts." This is true—all true. - It is the teaching of the times, and he who will not learnt it must never expect, at this period of gene al activity and rivalry in business, to keep up with his advertising neighbors in the race for patronage and prosperity.

As it was the first case un-' der the new law, the court sentenced him to pay a fine of fifty dollars, .and to undergo air ,imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary for, the term of three years. The sentence has been pronounced by many{ a very severe one ; ,but the court in pronoun ding it stated. that it would deter others flora violating the law with impunity ; and at El* same time the whole bench expressed - the opin-i 'on that it Was a good and s.alntary Scott's Weekly Paper.

The anxiety upon the subject lin this city is so great, that we are happy to have it in our power to give assurances every waY so satisfactory. It is supposed a circular will shortly be issued by the Board of Canal Corn missioners relative to the actual amount o damage, and the probable time it will Consu • to make the necessary repairs.

Worth commenced the attack at early day-light. and in less than two hours every point was carried, all the cannon of the enemy were in .our possession, an' im mense quantity' of amniunition captured, and' nearly 1,000 men, among them 53 officers ta , ken prisoners. . ,2, For m re than antic* the battle raged with a violon not Burpassdd since the Mexican war comt eneed, and sd great odds hpposed that for s me ileac the result was doubtful.— the force f the enemy had been estimated at from 12, oto 15,000, strongly posted behind breast wo -s, and to attack them our small force of scarcel 3,000 was obliged to approach on an open lain and, without the least comer ;-- but their $, untless courage carried them over and notwithstanding the Meal t with a valor rare for them, they every ebb', cans fou LI routed from'one point or another, were fina ere driven and dispersed.

In this way poor; Buniell lost !his life.

No one-knew! or even surmised the strength of the place: iti was an old fprt, constructed long since, and was one of the main defences of the line of works. • On thd enemy's left and nearer Chapulte ' pee, our Toss was also great, although' not as severe. :It was here that Col.

The btoken ground on the right of the eaet my, cut up by deep wines , saved many of Santa Ana's troops in •their flight ; yet, as it was, our dragoons .killed and captured many of the fugitives. Large bodies of the Mexican cavalry , 'pproaehed the ' scene of strife several times, b t they were driven like sheep by Dun can's ba fiery. • The Mexica° loss has been even more 'se vere than our' own. Gen.

Such was the pan-' ic, that Zany of our officers say that a,few fresh tro t ps might have taken Chapultepec it self almest without a struggle ; knit other than! a few shhts fired at that point from some (xi the captured cannon, no demonstration was made.
