It appears that the revolutionary’ party aie rapidly gaining strength, and in the face af the butchery of Garces it is likely to snececd in overthrowing the Monagas administration. THE STATE ELECHIONS. ¥rom Miesonri,as far as heard from, nine whigs and pine Benton members have been returned for the Legislature. Kennett’s majority over Benton is. 1,900.

Lewis, democrat;-has been elected by about 500 majority, to supply the vacancy in tne Virginia Congressional delegation, occasioned by ‘he death of Mr. Snodgrass. * ANTI NEBRASKA MEETINGS. A meeting was held in the Museum, in Brooklyn, Mast evening, to appoint delegates to the Saratoga @onvention. The attendance was small. Colone ‘Phorpe, former); of Louisiana, addressed the meet 4g in relation to the aggressive character of slave- fy.

A communication from Oomptroiier Flagg, respecting the Reynolds con- @ract, was received and ordered to bo entered on he minutes. Attedions debate of three honrs duration took Place in the Board of Councilmen last evening, in Oemmittee of the Whole, on the report of the special committee in favor of purchasing property for the pablic cemetery on Ward’s Island.

Common Siate brands of flour were 12) cents per ‘Dhl. higher yesterday. Corn was also firm at full Brices, Wheat was quiet, without change in quota- tions.

From the infamy of ‘the des ruction of Sin Juan this administration is seeking-to escape by investing the act with a disgniseof a prac cowmisston line, which did only $1,000 business the frst yearébat it commenced, at- tained the large amount of $50;000 last year. Another in the wholesale fancy and staple dry goede, grocery and provision line, also did, within the last twelve months, upwards of $60,000 of business. These facts are instructive, apd hold out strong ercouragement to men ofan active aad enterpri-ing tera of mind. Were the idle papu- lation that now swells the muss of pauperism in our sea board towns ‘to profit by them, the latter would not be cursed with such an appal- ling amount of misery and vice as already threatens to reduce them to the degraded level of European cities. @ Simultaneously with the receipt of the inte- resting pamyblet from which the above state- ments are taken, the first number of the Ne- braeka Palladium—a handsome look'ng sheet, published at Belleview City, Nebraska—reached us ty mail, No:more signal evidence can be afforded of the concurrent rapidity with which intellectual and material progress go hand in hand, in this country, than the appearance of this jouraal. Before the Territory itself can be caid to be effectively organized, and before even the first physical necessities of life have been fully provided for, we find measures taken to supply those mental cravings which constitute the most pressing, as they are the noblest, as pirations of our infant communities. Such facts constitute the real secrets of the great and predominating influence which this country already exercises in the affairs of the world. Where. even in the humblest conditions of life, mental cultivation is placed above all merely sensual gratifications, nothing can arrest the progress of a people whose mission seems to be to belie the lessons drawn from the past, and to create for man a more hopeful fature. We confess that we opened the first number of our Nebraskan contemporary -with some mis- givings as to the results of labors pursued under such unfavorable conditions, as it must for the present be placed under. We never were more agreeably disappointed. In poidt of style, vigor. and correctness of diction, there are not many papers in the Union that can pretend to surpass.it. In its business columns, too, will be found announcements that show that the city of Belleview is already in such a state of ad- vancement as to be in a position to satisfy most of the reasonable demands of life. There are advertisements from almost every class of tradesmen who minister to the wartts, as well as from the different-varieties of the locust tribe— such as'lawyers and quacks—who fatten on the vices. and sufferings of the human species: With somuch steam on, it may well be imag- ined that-this progressive young city ie not be- hind in its facilities of water conveyance. We copy the following from the columns of the Palladium, os it may prove interesting to those whose migratory propensities may be- come inflamed by the attractiveness.of the pic- ture we heve drawn:— SARPY’S-@TEAM FERRY BOAT NESEAGKA.

This is the front gateway to the most important and interesting gortiom-ef Nebraska. Bear in mind that ST. MARY AND BELLEVIEW CITY are the two best points for the emigration to centre. Belleview City, July 15, 1854. By way of a specimen of the lyrical genius of young Nebraska, aa well as of a mora! to our article, we canvot more appropriately bring our observaffons to a close than by transcribing from our contemporary the following effusion, which was sung at the Belleview Fourth of July celebration:— ta the land where oid MacumeS doth tet.

Bexton Dereaten.—According to the r2- turna received from the St. Louis district in Missouri, in which Col. Benton was a candi- date fer re-election to Congress, it appears that bota he and the anti-Beaton democratic candidate have heen defeated by Kennett, the whig candfdate; and further, that in St. Louis “the whole American ticket was triumphant.” This is very significant. The “ American ticket” can only mean the ticket of the Know Nothings. Benton, in the last election, was carried through by the Germans, who abound in the St. Louis district, and are deadly op- posed to the extension of slavery. On this ground, heawas their man, and in hts opposi- tion to the Nebraska bill he doubtless expect- ed they would carry him through again. But he overlooked the Know Nothings, to say nothing of the prevailing native sentiment of Missouri on the Nebraska question, and the contin- gency of anti-Benton democratic votes for ihe whig candidate. And so Benton is fairly down’at last. Do- feated for the House, it is hardly possible that he can succeed in being returned to the So- nate, though his forces in the Legislature may be sufficient for the defeat of Atchison, whose place in the Senate is to be filled, A whig will probably be re-elected to succeed Atchicon, ns awhig wes chosen to displace Benton. As Saweon perished among the Philistines, so Ben- ton’s expiring ogonies will probably be amoag the remaine of the demoralized Missouri democra- cy, which he may still pull down about their ears. At all events, it appears that he has been bound, hard and foot, by the Philistines of the St Louis district, and that he can only, perhaps, be saved from “the shades of private life’ by being nominated as the Northern anti-slavery candidate for the Presidency, by the Sagatoga Convent’on. This is due to the first martyr of the South uron the Nebraska bill. Will not Seward consent to it as a casus belli against the Know Nothings? Benton's potitical decline commenced with the defeat of Van Buren at the Baltimore Con: vention of 1844. He began to fall rapidly from the day of the introduction of the Texas annexation question into the Senate. Jobn Tyler broke his back in the rejec- tion of his alternative plan for seoar- ing Texas by diplomacy with Mexico, and Douglas, with bis Nebraska bill, bas enabled Atebison end the Know Nothings to entrap him, as an old rat is caught in a wire cage, by going in with a mistake in his calculatioas of geiting out. The political career of Oid Bullicn drawe to a close. He was o giant and 0 dictator in his day, but is finally ruined by o party conepirecy of his own creating. In party potitice he was a Van Buren Bourbon— “he learned nothing and forgot nothing.” He politically perishes. the victim of his own iw- placable revenges, whatever may be the imme- diate agencies of his defeat. teen days from Turks islands, Teperté that an Amer Hloop-edwar sczived Kher jus Dale ee Gapartany, Neval Intelligence.

Accordiog to the call, there will be } no other business before the convention than their nominations for Governor, Lieutenant | Governor, Canal Commissioner, and State Prison Inspector. In connection with the aforesaid proclama- tion, we publish to-day the self-complacent edi- torial of Thurlow Weed upon the subject. He throws very little light upon it, to be sure; but ourreaders are welconre to his suggestions, for what they are worth. He broaches none of the vexed questions of the day, but expresses his reliance in those whigs ‘whose heads and hearts have been in the cause through all its conflicts.” What this may signify perhaps our seceding philosepher of the Tribune may be able toexplaia. To us it is expressive of a lively apprehension concerning the abolition amalgamation convention at Saratoga. 2 The following schedule embraces, we be- lieve. all the party State conventions yet to be held in this State:— The Fosionist State Convention—at Saratoga Springs, August 16, The Aomiristration Party State Coayention—soft and free soi}—at 8) use, Sept-mber 6. The Spereeennie vention—st Auburn, Septem. ber 27, The Whig State Convention—September20. The Native or Know-Nothing State Conveation—no- thing hnown about it. The whigs, by meeting together the last of | all, will have the benefit of all the sly hints and blunders that have been or may be committed in the meantime, by the democratic hard shells and soft ehells, by the abolition and whig alli- ance, and by the temperance party, to say nothing ot the Know Nothings.

ABORTION CASE—SHOCKING TREATMENT OF A YOUNG FEMALE, Ceptain Carpenter, of the Fifth ward police, yester- Cay received information that there was a female in the New York Hospital evidently laboring under the effects of a heavy dose of laudanum, which had been edminis- tered to her by some one with an intention of putting an end te her life. Visiting her, therefore, upon this infor- mation, he learned thut the patient at the Hospital was named Mary Morris; that about three months ago she became acquainted with a man (whose name we at pre- sent refrain from publishing until a further examination takes place) at the residence of her mother in street; that visiting frequentiy, he managed te seduce her, and induced her to leave her home and live with him at » publiwhouse in West Broadway, where, a few days ago, he induced her to undergo treat- ment to produce an abortion.

Officer Martin, of the Lower Police Court, yesterday arrested a German, named Anthony Muller, charged by his wife Lavinia, with having abandoned her. It appears, from the evidence sdduced in the court, that about three respective positions. This is indicative of sound military sagacity; but still we fear that the Saratoga concern will make an awful chasm in the estimates of the Whig Central Commit- tee. With regard to the whig candidate for Gov- ernor we are all in the fog, but the Onondaga Standard gives us the following list, as proba- bly embracing the lucky individual:— William H. Seward, United States Senator—term ex- Pires next Mareh. Ira Harris, of Albany, Judge of the gy stron Court. George W. Patterson, Chatauquo, ex: nant Gov- rnor. William W.

The fog is still thick, but. we begin to have come glimmerings of “the lay of the lard.” TrawaN OPERA—CasTik GARDEN.—Bollini’s charming opera ‘I Puritani,’’” 4s to te produced this evening, ‘With Madame Bertucoa Maretzek as Elvira, and Berald: as Talbot. None of the chef d’cuvres of the Italiana stage possess greater popularity than this, as the predomi- nance of sweet and flowing melodies brings it within the sppreciation of many who care but little for tho sub- teties of purely scientific music. There are an umdying freshness and originality in its exquisite coneeptions, which prevent them from ever palling upon the ear, and render the old habitué of the opera as sensible as ever to their effects. We have no doubt that its first representa- ton will attract a crowded and brilliant house, Marine Affairs.
