James Gorpon Bennert :— Dear GRNERAL :— The result of the election in this State is that the whigs have elected twelve Congressmen, and one volunteer, pledged to the support of Henry Clay.— The democrats elected eleven, of whom seven are said to be in favor ef Mr. Van Buren, and four in favor of Mr. Buchanan. The counties composed of Dauphin, Schuylkall and Lebanon, elected a whig Congressman, in consequence of the democratic candidate pledging himself in favor of Buchanan.— Ia one of the counties handbills, exhibiting the the pledge, and Buchanan’s name connected with “‘ten cents a day,” were widely circulated; and the eflect was that the democratic majority wasreduced 600 votes. In the other counties(except in Harrisburg borovgh) nothing was said about him being “a ten cent candidate;” therefore he received nearly the democratic vote. All look at the result of the election in the State for Congreesmen as a death blow to Mr, Buchanan’s aspirations alter the Presi- dency; Clay would beat him some 20 or 30,000 — ‘The most popular candidate is Colonel Johnson, who, in tact, isthe only man who could beat Henry Clay Gen. Cass would make a fair run, but there is nothing which he has ever done about which the enthusiasm of the people could be raised. Mr Van Buren is more popular now than a year since; yet he could not get the vote he got in 1840 against jay. Our Legislature is decidedly democratic. The Senate will stand 23 democrats, 10 whigs— House, 56 democrats, 44 whigs. The democratic Canal Commiseioners are elected by at least 10,000 mujor- ity. The reason why the Canal Commissioners ran so much betier than the Congressmen is, that at the county meetings, nominating Congressmen, resolu- tions were passed in favor of Bachanan, and at the State Convention, nominating the commissioners’ ticket, no such resolutions were passed. There is some talk about the candidates for Gov- ernor in 1844. Francis R. Shank and Henry A Muhlenberg, are the most prominent in the demo- cratic party. The whigs seem to be united on Mr. McKennon, of Washington county. There will be quite a contest for Speaker ot the House at the meeting of the Legislature. Chester Butler of the whig party will be their candidate, and Messra.jTustin, Romufort, and Snowden, the democratic candidates. Tustin, of Philadelphia county, would make a very decided, and I think a good Speaker. As the Speaker has great power in hishands, there will bea struggle for this office. For the printing the, struggling will be greater than ever. The publishers of the Democratic Union claim to be State printers by virtue of an election not made on the day appointed by law, and the Goveyaor refuses to recognize them. If two- thirds of the Legislature say that es are the prin ters, then they will succeed—not otherwise. The cost of printing for the State in ten years exceeded 390,000. By an examination, it has been discov- ered that that these men overcharged in four ses- sions about $13,000 The contingencies of the last House of Repre- sentatives amounted to $27,000, and the postage to $13,000 In the contingent fund is an apothecary’s bill amounting to $1,800. No one has yet been able to discover the items. i A considerable portion of the interest on the State debt will be paid in February. Perhaps all that is then due. ‘Ihereafter the interest will be paid promptly, unless the next Legislature interieres to prevent it. i Our canals are doing an excellent business, and clearing to the State a handsome ph ‘ours.

James Gorpon Bennett, Esq — Dear Sin :— The annual exhibition of the Franklin Institute for American manufactures, was commenced at the Chinese Museum on Tuesday morning last. On all former occasions the large hall on the first floor was sufficient to contain all the deposited ar- ticles; but owing to the increased number of speci- mens which have been offered the present season, the managers have been compelled to lease, in ad- dition, the room occupied as the museum proper, so that visiters are now privileged to inspect both institutions tor the price usually charged for each. Our manutacturers and mechanics appear to have been more tuily awakened to the iunportance of such an instituiion as this, than at any pre -ious period, and the prizes which are awarded, induce each exhibitor to endeavor to outstrip the other in the beauty and importance of their workmanshin or inventions. This spirit of honorable competi tion, which it has been the object of the institution to kindle, is perhaps one of the highest incentives to superiority which could possibly be brought into action, and if continued, promises to raise the Uni- ted States to an elevation in the manufacturing and mechanical world, loftier than that of any na- tion which has preceded it. At the conclusion of the exhibition, which generally continues for the space of a fortnight, premiums and other marke of honor are awarded upon the most creditable pieces of workmanship, and the names of the successful competitors are registered in the archives of the institution. y : 4 Among the many important articles which are here exhibited, I’cannot, forbear mentioning the degree of pertection which has been attained by Mr.G. Morfit, of Kensington, in the manufacture of the stearine candle, which from its comparitive cheapness, and even superiority to spermaceti, promises in time to outdo ell other articles of the same kind. Mr. Morfit has arranged his contribu- tionsin such a manner that each process in the ma- nufacture is distinctly apparent—from the dirty and impure tallow, before it undergoes its first change, to the beautiful white and nearly translucent stea- rine. The gentleman himeelf is also generally in attendance, ready to impart any information to those who may desire the aid of his valuable know- ledge. ror Another article which attracts general attention is an astronomical transit, manufactured by Mr James Youag, which received so many favorable men tions when exhibited last year. The accuracy and beauty of its finish is declared by competent judges to be equal to any manufactured in Caen There Iso a beautiful boat, deposited by Pro- fessor J. C. Cresson, which excites the wonder and admiration of all visitors. This elegant affair (no longer than a small barge) has all the apparatus of a lurge steamboat, and has been used by the owner for making select pleasure excursions on the Schuy! kill, where she glides through the stream as grace fully and quietly asthe downy bosomed swan steals along the unrippled surface of theis native lake The engine was constructed under the superinten dence of Professor Cresson himself, who, from hie experience in mechanism and hydraulics, has perhaps a more extensive acquaintance with the machinery requisite for propelling by steam than any individual in our city. ‘As a whole, the contributions for the present year are far soperior Skee of my Leper tp ert and altiough all the articles are not yet arra i the saleonstare daily filled with the elite of Philadel phia, who appear universally desirous to do allin their power towards the encouragement of “home manufactures and home industry.” Our Postoffice, you are aware, is but sadly ma- naged here.

IMEN OF Corren Kock oF Laks Su- PERIOR-—Some few days ago we gave insertion to a letter froma correspondent in relation to the ship- ping of a remarkable specimen of copper rock of uake Superior, and more recently to an article, which gives a more minute discription of ut. Since then we have seen a letter dated Detroit, Oct. 13th, which gives the following still further details :— ‘The (so-called) copper rock of Lake Superior was brought to this place, a day or two since, in a vessel from Sault Ste. Marie, having been transpor- ted from its original locality, on the Ontonagon river, atno small labor and expense. It is upward of twenty-three years since | first visited this re- markable specimen of native copper, io the forests of Lake Superior. It has been somewhet dimin- ished in size and weight, in the meantime, by viei~ fors ang travellers in that remote quarter; but re- tains, very well, its original character and general features. I have just returned from a re-examina- tion of it ina store, in one of the main streets of this city, where it has been deposited by the present roprietor, who designs to exhibit it to the curious. fis greatest length is tour feet six inches ; its great- est width about four foot; its maximum thickness eighteen inches. These are rough measurements with the rule. It is almost entirely composed of malleable copper, and bears striking marks of the visits formerly paid to it, in the evidences of por- tions whicti have from time to time been cut off. There are no scales in the city large enough, or other means of ascertaining its precise weight, and of thus terminating the uncertainty arising from the several estimates heretofore made. It has been enerally estimated here, since its arrival, to weigh Baten six and seven thousand pounds, or about three and a half tons, and 18, by far, the largest known and described eprcimen of native copper. on the globe. Rumors of a larger piece in South America are apocryphal. The acquisition to the curious and scientific world, of this extraordinary mass of native metal isat least one of the practical results of the copper-mining mania, whic! carried co many adventurers north- ward, into the region of Lake Superior, the past summer, 1843. The person who has secured this treasure, Mr. J. Eldred, has been absent, on the business, since early in June. He succeeded in re- moving It from its diluvial bed on the banks of the river, by a car and sectional railroad of two links, formed of timber. The motive power was a tackle attached to trees, which was worked by men, from fourteen to twenty of whom were employed upon it. These raila were alternately moved torward, as the car passed from the hindmost. In this manner the rock was dragged four miles and a half, across a rough country, toa curve of the river below its falls, and below the junction of its forks, where it was received by a boat, and conveyed to the mouth of the river, onthe lake shore. At this point it was put on board a schooner and taken. to the falls, or Sault Ste. Marie, and thence, having been trans- orted across the portage, embarked for Detroit. Fhe entire distance to this place is a little within one thousand miles; three hundred and twenty of which lie beyond 3t. Mary’s. What is to be its future history and disposition remaine to be seen. It will probably find its way to the museum of the National Institute, in the new patent office at Washington. This would be appropriate, and i stated that the authorities have asserted their ulti- mate claim to it, probably under the third article of the treaty of Fond du Lac, et the 5th August, I I have no books at hand to refer to the precise. time, so far as known, when this noted mass © copper first became known to Europeans. Proba- bly a hundred and eighty years have elapsed Mar- quetie, and his devoted companion, passed up the shores of Lake Superior about 1668, which was se- veral years before the discovery of the meee is by that eminent missionary, by the way of the Wis- consin. From the letters of D’Ablon at Sault Ste- Marie, it appears to have been known prior to the arrival of La Salle. These allusions will be suffici- ent to show that the rock has a historical notoriety. Apart from this, it is a epecimen which ie, both, mineralogically and geologically, well worthy of national preservation. It is clearly a boulder, and bears marks of attrition from the action of water, on some parts of its rocky surface as well as the me- tallic porous A minute mineralogical examina- tion and description of it are required. The hering rock, of which there is less now thon in 1820, is apparently serpentine, in some parts steatitic, whereas the copper ores of Keweena Point, on that Lake, are found exclusively in the amygdaloids and greenstones of the trap formation. A circular de- pression of opaque crystaline quartz, in the form of a semi-geode, exists in one face of it; other perts of the mass disclose the same mineral. Probably 800 Ibs. of the metal have been hacked off, or de- tached by steel chisels, since it has been known to the whites, most of this within late years. Frem THe Western Frontrer.— Affairs on the Western frontier, and in the Cherokee nation, are in a wretched condition, and seem to call loudly for active and efficient measures on the sth of the Uni- ted StatesGovernment. The particulsrs ot the mur- der of Mr. Vore and family, and the burning of his house, were published in our columns last Saturday. Since that time we have received the Arkansas In- telligencer of the 30th ult.; that paper says: ‘From all the information we have received concerning the late outrages in the Cherokee nation, we are con- vinced thata regular rebellion was organized againet the constituted authorities of the mation. Revela- tions of all the plans of the conspirators, of whom the murderers of Mr. Vore and family were but in- struments, have been made, and subsequent events have confirmed the trath of those statements, that Mr. Ross, the chief cf the nation, Mr. Bushyhead, the chief justice, W. S. Coodey, John Benge, and Elijah Hicks, five of the most popular and influential men in the country, were to have been assuesinated on the 25th inst. Whe reason assigned for the killing of the five persons named was, that they were the heads of the party, and by lopping them off, the par- ty would be paralyzed, and the balance could be easily managed. The killing of Mr. Vore was to have taken piace the same mght as the others, but ior some reason, unknown, a part of the banditti an- ucipated their associates, and killed him on the 24d. He was not murdered for any party Waa but merely for his money, it being supposed that he had «large amount. It is certain that he had at least $500 on hand. There are persons supposed to be umplicated in the whole of these nefarious and bloody transactions, whose names have not yet been men- tioned in public. They have much to answer tor, and we hope that none, whether principals or acces- saries, will escape the punishment they merit. The authorities of the Cherokees have shown the most praise worthy zeal and activity in endeavcring to apprehend the murderers, but as yet without success. They have done so from a desire to have justice done, not because it wastheir duty. It was the duty ot the United States to have acted in the matter— Mr. Vore being a licenced trader, a citizen of the United States, and entitled to the protection of the Federal Government. As yet we have not learned that the troops on this frontier have taken any steps to arrest the murderers, but thus far have left the whole burthen of iton the Cherokees. ‘This certain- ly appears to us very wrong, and we earnestly hope soon to hear that our troops are scouring the whole Indian country, to rid it not only of those engagedin the recent outrages, but of all other rascals, of whom there are enough to ruin any country. Coodey, with about 200 men, is scouring the coun- try, with an energy and perseverance that promises uccess, ‘There are algo about 200 men in arms on our side of the line, and the hills and gorges are fill- ed with determined men in hunt for this banditti— Ther apprehension is inevitable.” ‘The same paper adds: We are informed that the Starrs, and other cefugees, stained with blood, find white men in our State, near the line, at all times ready to screen them trom the pursuit of the officers of justice. We hope, forthe credit of the State, it isnot true. These men certainly are not aware of the great responsibility of such conduct. Aside from the immorality of the thing, harboring and screening murderers and robbers 1 bad as com- mitting these crimes themselves—it is worse, in those who pretend to be civilized men, living out of janger, inciting their sermi-barbarous neighbors, ‘o deeds of violence. ‘They set on fire a fabric that they cannot extinguish. It is unneighborly, ua- triendly, and unbecoming the citizens of « powerlul, sivilized, cbristiaa nation. This course disturbs the peace of the frontier, and will eventually in- volve isin a border war. Such men are responsible tor the difficulties that may grow upon this frontier, and should be held accountable. Again It saye: Gen. Taylor left on the 25:h inst. for Fort Gibson, with a view of settling the existing difficulty in the Sherokee Nation. We are afraid he will fail if he operates with nothing but rank, lace and buttons. These things are not poteat upon this frontier ; they have no influence upon Indians.
