TELEGRAMS, &c. Fall returns of the election in Anne Arun- del county, Md., on Thursday, for State Sena- tor show that the Hon. George Wells, the can- didate of the Union party, is elected. This is quite a gain forthe Unionists of that county, ‘88 it gives the Tnion one more vote than they baye ever had in the Senate under the new Constitution. Wells has for many years been identified with the interest of the State, and bas taken pattioular pride in the adyauce- ment of her works of public improvement. He served for several years in the State Senate, and was at one time President of that body. In the case of the pirate Georgia, deraanded by the United States Government, and heard before the Toronto Assizes, Mr. McDonald, the federate agent, makes_an affidavit that the veseel was the property of the rebel govern- ment, and was designed for the raid on John- son’s Island, and that the sale to Denison, the resent possessor, Was & mere blind. Consul ‘hornton hopes to recover her for the United States Government. Denison, who figures prominently, in these transactions, is a major in the Canadian service. A serious riot took place in Springfield, Mm. on Christmas. About forty or fifty soldiers of the 3d Veteran Volunteers, Hancock's corps, came up from Camp Butler to Springfield, and after indulging in much bad whiskey, not liking the place, proceeded to clean itout. A bloody fight ensued between the soldiers, citi- zens, and police, which resulted in the killing of one soldier and seriously wounding several citizens and two policemen. The riot was finally suppressed by the joint efforts of the citizens and the police, and the leaders locked up. The soldier killed was the ringleader of the mob. The Maryland State Colored convention met in Baltimore yesterday, and passed resolutions to solicit aid to rebnild the seven colored churches burned in that State by rebels and malicious persons. Kesolutions were also adopted advising the negroes to become virtuous, industrious, and to educate their children. The Barings have taken two millions of the five per cent. gold-bearing bonds of Massa- chusetts, at about ninety-seyen per cent. This sum, itis believed, will be sufficient to meet the present indebtedness of the State, and thus do away with the necessity of issuing the re- maining million and a half authorized by the Legislature. ‘The reports from the South continue to show that general good order prevailed, and-that the apprehensions of negro insurrections, &c., ‘were mere pretences. At Clarksville, Tennes- see, a riot occurred, caused by a notorious rebel guerrilla firing intoa crowd of negro soldiers. There is a great ice flood in the west branch of the Susquehanna, causing great damage. 1t is estimated that from sixty to seventy million feetof saw logs, valued at $1,000,000, passed Wil- sport during the last twenty-four hours. It isthe heaviest loss ever sustained by the Jumbermen in that section. A letter from Gandaloune, dated November 25, states that the cholera has broken out there, and is committing great ravages.

An auction sale of 25,000 bus! coal occurred yesterday. at which the decline sinee last month averaged about a dollar, and the reduction in stove coal was about one dollar and a half. It should be remembered that at the s#le last month there was a large ion from the October prices. The entire ion since last October is very nearly three dollars a ton, and even at the compara- tively low figures that ruled yesterday the sale was dull and the number of buyers wat small. This is decidedly encouraging. It not only gives the assurance that consumers will be able to get their fuel at something near a rea- sonable rate, but it shows that the coal specu- lators have made a most woful failure in their attempts to run prices up as they did last winter. There may be a just trifle of the re. vengeful in the.complacency with which we regard this defeat of the coal extortionists, but in view of the shameful imposition upon poor people last winter, a little feeling of gratifica- lion at their present discomfiture ought to be pardonable. In connection with the fall of coal it is also pleasing to notice that there is a downward tendency in the prices of many other articles of consumption. The specula- tors seem to have a less firm hold upon the public than they have hitherto had, and their control over prices seem to be rapidly waning. There is now some prospect that the charm of the speculators has been broken, and that their infiuence will hereafter be less potent. puncseiiaksonaetsessl matin Jops os HAND FOR Concress.—According tothe New York Commercial letter the third House will be in Washington on the sth of Jannary for the following objects: «The retention of the present tariff duties, with higher duties on iron and coal, and per- baps the striking off of wool from the free list; Niagara ship canal; grants of land to railroads in Maine, on Cape Cod, between here and in New York, and at the West; payment of the Pennsylvania war debt; river and harbor ap- Ppropriations atthe West and on the Pacific Slope, reimbursement of bounties; permanent retention of the officers of the invalid corps, increase of the pay of the army and mavy, with other schemes too numerous to men- tion.” Tur STOCK Or FLouR.—A New York letter of Thursday says:—There was considerable trepidation caused among flour merchants by the revelation that the amount of flour stored in New York amounted to a million of barrels, which is the largest quantity ever in this city at this time ofthe year. The information cre- ated a general fear thatthe | aiaged wouldshortly decline, anda desireto ship was the conse- quence.

Winnings of the Brocck’ The winnings of three 2 On the Eaghsh Turt this year, in stakes alone, atnount to about forty thousand pounds. How much their bets come to we bave not the meaus of determining, buta couple of hundred thousand dollars in gold is pretty well for three stables to win in public money. The greatest winner this year is Count de Lagrange, who had ten wins, placng nearly twenty thousand pounds w his credit. Much the larger portion of this was earned by Gladiateur, and the Count’s winning balance would be but smail if the Guineas, the Derby, and St. Ledger were substracted from it. Nextupon the het comes the Duke of Bean- fort, the head of the Somersets, one of the great sporting families of the Mydiand conuties. Several of our correspondents, + Privateer, ” “Practice,” etc., used to hunt at times with the Duke's bounds, and we know that his fame as a master of fox hounds equals his celebrity as a magnate of the turf. The Duke had ten wigs this year, and the amount of stakes thas se- cured was above sixteen thousand pounds. Lord Stanford is the third of the two we have mentioned. He had thirteen wins, and they secured very nearly twelve thousand pounds. The extent of his racing shed, one of the largest in England, is however, to be looked at. ‘he sixth name in the list is that of Mr. Ten Broeck, whose number of winnings was twenty-two, and the amount above six thousand pounds. It appears from this that though the American tate bas won no great race during the year, it has been quite industrious and successful in harvesting moderate sums. The list contains the names of about five hundred owners of race-horses who won something in Engiand in the course of the season, and to be sixth on this is certainly a distinguished place for Mr. Ten Broeck. Only the Count de Lagrange, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Stanford, Mr. Merry, and Mr. Sutton areahead of him. Lord Ports- month, the Marguis of Hastings, Lord West- moreland, Lord Gtasgow, Sir Joseph Hawley, Baron Bothschild, Lord St. Vincent, Captain Machell, and many other renowned turt-men, come after the American owner.— Wilkes’ Spirit.

CONGRESS AND THE RAILROADS.—The Hon. John D. Baldwin, member of the House from the Sth district of Massachusetts, writes to the Worcester Spy, of which journal he is the edi- tor, that Mr. Washburn’s railroad bill has been misundersiood. It passage was hailed as a blow at the Camden and Amboy monopoly. Mr. Baldwin avers that—~ Its real but andes clared purpose was to release the Illinois Gen- tral railroad company from its obligation to earry troops and military stores for the Govy- ernment free of charge. That road has been constructed, chiefly, by means of the magnifi- cent grant of lands by Congress; and now its owners seek to escape from the obligations of the contract made with the Government when they accepted those lands. The bill, which went through the House under the previous question without being understood, authorizes every railroad in the country to claim and re- ceive compensation for carrying troops and military stores for the Government, thus not only releasing the Illinois Oentral company, but actually rendering null and void the con- ditions urder which similar grants of iands ‘were made to other railroads. I think the bill will die in the Senate.” or— TRADITION OF STEPHENS.—Stephens, the Fenian, having escaped from Dublin to France, the British government, (according to the last news) has demanded his extradition, under the treaty between thetwoconntries. This treaty, like all others, excludes political offenses, so that the English authorities, to recover their lost prisoner, have been driven to the subter- fuge of demanding him on the charge of “breaking jail.” To this the French govern- ment answers that Stephens would not haye broken jail if he had not been imprisoned for a Political offence. Napoleon, therefore, de. clined to deliver the Fenian chief. So, at least, it is said) But the matter has raised some discussion in the French newspapers, looking to the abrogation of the extradition treaty. The Gazette des Tribunaux says that although the treaty has been carried out in good faith by France, not one of those de- manded from England has ever been surren- dered to the French government. A New ATLANTIC CABLE To BE Laip.— Several hundred miles of the core or interior portion of the new Atlantic telegraph cable are completed.
