Bennett and Greeloy Give It Up'!—Ben- nett of the Herald and Greeley of the =< bune—par nobile fratrum—who forgetting 0! animosities have labored side by side for | “bleeding Kansas’’ through the campaign, each in his last issue virtually gives up the contest and concedes the triumphant elestion of Buchanan in November next. Yesterday’s (Sunday) Herald says: «The Iate result in Pennsylvania, in con- nection with the unexpected success of the Democracy in Indiana, indicate pretty clearly the election of James Buchanan as our next President, by @ handsome majority of the Electoral Colleges.”” Bennett, under the caption cf ‘ Serious blunders of the Republicans during the pres- ent canvass,’ goes on to lambaste the eelf- constituted leaders of tho Fremont party, and their silly biographies of their candidate, filled “with the most absurd and ridiculous stories in relation to Colonel Fremont, recall- ing all the forgotten errors of his boyhood and other absurd details which have nothing to do with the questions at issuc in thiscanvass.”’ ‘* Large numbers of these biographies (says the Herald) have been purchased by the op position, and the Democratic speakers in Penn sylvania, numbering from fifty to one hundred have each two or three of these volumes, and used them in their speeches az electioneering documents against the Fremont party. They found them better than any documents which had been issued by their committees It is bable that two-thirds of the biographies of ‘olonel Fremont have been bought up by the opposition for the Raxpore of being used to de- feat his election © see that anew brochure, which has been issued by one of our cotempo- raries, under the title of the Two Fremonts, has become a eubject for the ridicule of the Democratic press; and we are credibly in- formed that this brochure bas been purchased liberally by the Democratic committees for the Democratic orators who intend to use it against Colonel Fremont in every State of the bion.”” in the concluding paragraph, Bennett, it will be seen, hits a most palpable lick at bro- ther Greeley, of the Trt/wne, and his double- Fremont pamphlet The 7ri+une of Saturday announces to its followers their defeat in Pennsylvania in the following lachrymose style : ‘* Republicans! the last reports from Penn- sylvania leave no doubt of » Buchanan ma jority at the State election. The State ticket of that party is chosen by some five thousand majority in between four and five hundred thousand votes. That majority can be over- come at the Presidential election just at hand —we do not say that it wi// be.” And again: ‘‘ Republicans! we would not if we could conceal from you our disappointment in this result, nor the magnitude of the disaster. We ought to have ca:ried Pennsylvania at this election—with fair play and honest voting, we must have carried it. We have been beaten by a combination of treachery and fraud— beaten because our adversurics were deter- mined to win at any rate, and some who pro- fessed to be with us in this contest were equally resolved that we should lose. Between the two, their object is attained.’’ And yet again : * Let us lock misfortune full in the face. If there were any hollow-hearted, venal, self- seeking knaves following our camp last week, they will now skulk out of it and go over to the enemy All such will suppose our battle lost, and will be in haste to place themselves in position to share the plunder of the field. Let them go in welcome, and let the cowardly and timorous go with them.” {n fact, the Pennsylvania Waterloo has com- pletely disorganized as well as routed the Re- publican army, and the allies bave entered upon a general set-to amongst themselves, each accusing the other of blunders, coward- ice and treachery. The Contest Not Over.—No course could be more fool-hardry on the part of our friends than that of relaxing their efforts because, forsooth, we have so brilliantly carried Penn- sylvania and Indiana. The enemy are des- petate. Each army opposed to us struggles now for existerce, and they will struggle on until the sun goes down on the general elec- tion day, as men never before struggled in a political contest. They have vast means to expend, and their managing men are utterly without scruplez. They are preparing to take advantage of us wherever our friends show the least disposition to relax their efforts. We know that they are already concoeting schemes to induce the Democracy of Pennsylvania to sleep on theirarms. If they succeed in effect- ing that object, the reader may depend upon it, the renewal of the fusion which Thaddeus Stevens, Thurlow Weed. Horace Greeley and Wm. F. Johnson seek to compass will surely be brought about; the Fillmoro leaders hesi- ta:ing only because, so far, they do not com- prehend how, by pursuing that policy, they can rob Buchanan and Breckinridge of the electoral vite of Pennsylvania. Surely, the Fesult of intense and increasing exertion, as exemplified in the recent vote of the State, will teach the Democracy of Pennsylvania not only its value, but the vital necessity fur per severing in it throughout the next fortnight Congressional Nominations.—The follow ing nominations for Congress have been made by the Democrats of the State of New York Viz: Col. W. E, Paine of Rochester, for that district ; Hon. S. G, Hathaway of Elmira for the twenty-seventh district ; Hon. B, F. Angel of Livingston for the twenty-eighth district. We know the last named gentleman well. He is the same whose nomination as United States Consul for the port of Honolulu was defeated in the Senate through false rep. resentations with reference to his sentiments upon the slavery question made to Senators, Unfortunately, the district is very largely against the Democracy, which will make his election very diflicult to be accomplished. A more grossly misrepresented man than Mr Angel was on the oceasion to which we refer, we never knew; which will be very clearly proved if he obtains the position to which his Democratic fellow citizens aim to call him. le is a gentleman of fine attainments, excel- Jeat mind and higi character, and has seen much of the world on both sides of the At- lantic. Politically be is a Republican of the old school. The North will send no other gentleman to the next Congress more likely t> strengthen the cause of the Constitution and sound and safe conservative principles : By the Ears!—The Fremont and Fillmore Journals of New York city are abusing each other right merrily over the result of the Penn- sylvania clection. The Tribune seems to be © opinion that the only possible use to which the Fillmourners of Pennsylvania can be safe ly put, is to make their necks stepping stones upon which the infidels, Sgrarians and abo- convenie: i control ot the Federal Pag rons that journal seems just now amazed that the Fillmore journals of that city should ha er dreamed that the Republican Party of Penn. sylvania designed regarding their “left bow- er’ as aught but a convenience, to be snubbed and ignered in case the coalition hai triumph. 1 on Tuceday last. The Herald, somewhat more outspoken, de- | nounces the Pennsylvania allies of its party as the veriest set of broken down political hacks, fools, fogies and traitors unhung; and as being fit only to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the benefit of Fremonters. On the other hand, the Ezpress and Commerctal Ad- wertiser seem to be so far thankful that the Democrats have carried the State ; insomuch as the result has saved them the disgrace of having labored simply to strengthen Fremont- ism. This is a very pretty quarrol as it stands. It will cease, however, before this week closes ; as the Freemonters will whip the Fillmourn- ers into working even harder to put Fred Douglase, Francis P. Blair, Bob Parvis & Co., into power. A host of Fillmourners at the South, with John Minor Botts at their head, are at this moment praying for the triumph in Pennsylvania of just such another coalition in that State as that (a State ticket composed of three ultra Freemonters, it will be recollected} over whose alleged victories they bellowed themselves hoarse on Wednosday night last Pennsylvania —We are glad to perceive in Saturday’s Pennsylvanian a long list of the appointments of the Democratic speakers who propose to continue canvassing Pennsylvania until the 4th proximo We feared least in the intoxication of victory, this prudent policy might possibly be neglected.

A decisive battle was expected take to place about the 2d of October The enemy had two thousand troops, and were expecting a reinforcement daily of from nine hundred to one thousand men. Walker was receiving reinforcements in con- siderable numbers from the States and from California The attack on San Jacinto by the troops under Col Byron Cale appears to have been @ more important affair than was at first sup- povee.

This request being granted, he spoke in a firm, unfaltering voice.

I afterwards shot a man of the name of Hays, but the wound did not happen to prove fatal In the same year I had a difficulty with Charles Robinson, and stabbed him in three laces. My last two difficulties while in Cali- fornia occurred at the State prison, where I had been om payed for the last two years. After getting in the last scrape I came to Nie- @ragua and shot Thomas Bewards ; I after- wards shot CharlesGordon.
