The State Department has received a com munication from ?'ur Consul at Guymer, da ted Sept. ll, stating that the evacuation ol that p'^rt und the State of Sonora hy the French squadron and forces will take place on the 14th of September. Ae was officially informed of this fact by thc Admiral in com mand, The.predations for embarkation which have bt-en going on for the last few days, and the /act of the withdrawal of these f)rces have ' created a panic among tho population, both native aud foreign, and iu consequence the ?..earner which leaves cn the 13th for MHZI tlan and San Fraucisco would bu crowded be yond her capacity.

The Results of the Recent Elections may bc summed an as follqwp : The Radical majority in Pennsylvania hus been slightly reduced, compared with the elections of 18?.-1-4 5. The Conservatives lose one member of Congress. The. Radical majority in Indiana has been shorn of several thousand votes. The Con servatives have gained one Congressman. In Ohio the Radicals have increased ma jorit?s. Still, the Conservatives have gained one Congressman. Iowa ?3 ultra Radical and holds about her usual maj.iritv. AH her Congressmen, nix in number, are Radicals. The Radicad had it iii their own way in the Ballimoro mumoip?l election, fully two thirds of the voters being disfranchise.! by tie construction glaced upon the registry law at tho eleventh hour hy thc Radical officials. y -1 -..??.-1 RADICAL MEETING.-The New York Times \ of Monday tells the South not to bo obstinate j und rejeci thc terms of admission to repre sentation, proposed in trie Constitutional Amendment, and in auother column has the following : TUE MASS MEETING.-The Radical Repub lican mpetiog at Cooper Institute last even ing was very successful. The hall was crowd ed still scarcely a foot of standing room was left unoccupied, and five or six thousand peor plc gathered about tho outside stand?. The principal addresses were delivered by Hon. Hauaibal Hamlin, ex Vice President, and Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts. It was a noticeable feature of the assemblage that tho more radical tho utterance^ of these thorough ly Radical orators, the greater the applause and enthusiasm of the crowd. The sentiment uttered by Mr. Sumuer "to thc elfact that while he recognized that the Southern Slates were as much in the Union as ever for all pur poses of taxation, ?c., they could not be re presented in Congress until Congress chose to admit the men they sent, was received with great cheering and cries of " keep thcui out." CITY OF CHARLESTON STOCK.-The News says, We are phased to learn that sales of Charleston Six Per Cent. Stock has lately ta ken place at seventy five cents on the dollar. This is a considerable advance on th? price which '?as lately prevailed, and we hope that it is an indication that our local stocks, which have haen much depressed, will soon bring a price in the market equal to that of the cities of Savannah and Augusta. * WHEN TUE WAH I?.VDED.-The Journal and Messenger says the Attorney General and Second Comptroller concur in the opinion that the 20th of August, 186G, the dale of the President's proclamation declaring tho in surrection to be at au end, .should bu takeu RSI tho date of thc termination of the war. --_-. .<>-?- - ' .

"" DIED, nt his residence in Edgefield Dist., on t'.e 7Sth of August last PORTER J. CASWELL, aged about 35 years. Mr. CASWELL was a native of New York, and came to this State some fourteen years ago. In tho late struggle for Southern Independence, he warmly espoused the cause of his adopted State, in fouling and action, and attached himself as Engineer to one of the Monitors in the Con feMo.rato naval service; and tho performance of tho arduous dillies connected with that service, probably eau-cd the disease that terminated his life. He was an industrious, persevering, and ener getic ninn ; and ul tva y i devoted biu;;ell to thc interest* of tlio?e tu nhc.-o-Service bc wo? en gaged, and for whom he acte'!; he wr.s in every sonso a trust-worthy man. But ?bove all bo wus a Christian, not only by profession, but in his , every-dny walk, and in the discharge of tho?e duties that he owed to the Church and to his fel low mon. He lived in peace with nil men, and wa* beloved and respected by his neighbours. Hi? illness wis lang and painful : and though lar awny from his aged mother and brothers, it may be a consolation to them to bc assured, that he wa.? ir.r>.?t tenderly nursed ond cured for by hii> affectionate wife, nnd kind friends. flo has left behind him for the imitation of others, the bri ?rb I example of a true Christian, n devoted and affectionate hasbaud, a good citizen, and a faithful friend.

" DOLLIE," (her familiar name,) was one of thc most amiable and guileless child. en wc ever knew.

When tho shadows ?f death'hegan to thicken around her, her inoHory soemod busy with recollections of her departed father, and her last earnest reqnost was, that she might be buried by bi. fide when his re mains should be brought home, and it is probable that the heroic father and angel child will rest in peace together.
