CHARLESTON, November 7, 1857. The great event of the week just closing was the Municipal Election, which to the credit of our fair city passed off very quietly and with less excitement than many anticipated. A rumuor was afloat that two of our Election bullies had given out, that in the event of encountering each other at the p.:di+, there wold be a regular knock-down and drag-out, by way tf testing the physical capm.ities of ouch f..r the respoet sible duties of their otlies. This denunstration was interpreted in some quarters, as the prolule to some thing rich about to happen, but the folks who were green enough to be scared, were agreeably disap pointed, and the knowing ones acknowledged them selves "sold," as there was no fight to cono off while the lovers of "sport" seeml to tid it " rather slow." The contest for the Mayoralty tesultel in the elet tion of lion. Cnattr.s M.ecnavnl. over his opponcnt F. D. Ricu.utusos, Esq.. by a majority of 1::. The now Mayor is an advocate of Ritreuehment, Economy. the Public Health and Good Order-and goes in for keeping out of debt, paying low taxes, strict Quaran tine laws, and a Police sufficiently strong fir the want, of the city, with .ono slight reduction of exlpenses, cutting off superflaities. &c. Our worthy Ex-Mayor, Hon. W. P. Mrt.rs. now Representative in Congress elect from this District, was honored by his colleagues in Council before re tiring from his oflive. with the presentation of an ele gant Goad Watch and Chain. which cereuolny wi performed, icry gracfully by one of the Aldermen and responded to by him with feeling acknowledge ments. Another good effect resulting from the "hardl timeos "is that nobody had any money to spend on the Election--a condition of things highly favotable to the purity of the elective franchise, and seriously detrimental to the interests of the hatters, livury-sta bsle men, and tavern-kcepors. Financial matters are not quite so desperate as they might be. There is mouch less borrowing of money goingon now, iartly from the circumnstancc that no one seems disposod to lend, and more especially fronm the inability of the majority to lend, even if so dis posed. The natuiral consequence is' a condition of mutual independence, to which both piartics were en tire strangers when transaetions between thecm were more free and unrestricd. Erery man carries him. self as stiff, and plumes himself on the difficulty ot meeting his enggeents as triunmpantly as his neigh borw; and the poor devil who never could get a dollar on credit before, now laughs in the fae of the imipor tunate dun, as boldly as. his richer neighbor, who with indeonnite cozumand of both cnah anti credit, locks ,uap the first in fat iuvestnments, anid holds on with a tighter grasp to the last, when called uipon to pay small accounts.

In the late Report of the Treasurer of the Board of Cotumissioners of the Poor, several typographical errors occurred which we now correct. as follows: The mccount of M. E-rieeOGE should have been $62.10 instead of $72.00. In 11. ilerloug's account the words "for slave" should have been "for flour." We are requested by the troasurer, Mr. A. J. Simy ley, to state that a mistake of his own uinlunting to $75.01 will be rectified in the next annual report. MENAGERtIti AND CIRCUS. We have pleasure in ainoucing that the dull, tight times, which pirevail in our community, will be en livened week after next by the advent of Mania's MexsAucia ASO Cmn's. Liens and equestrians, leopards and ropa-dancers, monkeys and clowns, mu sie and ground-and-lofty tumbling, horses and hoops, Indian warriors and drunken sailors, will as usual make up the bill of fare. Several novelties,.rare itnd racy, will be presented. Old folks and children, young men and maidens, priests and parishioners, are referred to thle large bills for particulars. We leave the affair to stand or fall upon its own merits. COTTON ADVA NCING. The great staple is going up again. Whether it will continue to rise, is a matter of extremne uncer tainty. In the preseut precarious condition of money matters on both sides of the ocean, any calculations upon the subject are little butter than guess-~work. SO say somtie of the most sagacious merentile gentle teen; and we believe they are right. We understand that many of our planters are takting atdvantago of the recent rise, an d ate selling all the cotton they have in market. They look upon l21 cents a potttd as a good price; and very sensibly shape their conclusions in the premies in conformaity with the very just old adage, "a bird in the handl is worth two in the bush." Yet there tare some who will hold on for higher figures. They may realize a slight gain by the operation; bt what with costs of storage, diminution in the weight of their bags, losJ of interest. andl the criplinig of their creditors. they may find in the end that they havie but "gatitned a loss."

Recent accounts from Kansas Territory hold up the course of Ronaur J. WALKEa in a light well caleu- al lated to draw down upon him the indignation, not a only of Democrats, but of all right thinking, conser- a vative men in the country. The foolish gasconading, of which this extraordinary politician has hitherto been the perpetrator, was treated with a partial for bearavee by many at the South, chiefly for two rea- It sons: One of these was, the palpable stupidity of his empty threats and high-flown pronunci amentos, which were regarded as containing within themselves t a sufficient antidote to any injury ho may have de- p signed inflicting upon the Southern cause in Kansas, if indeed such was really his design at that time. The other ground of comparative lenity in view of his romarkable conduct, was an indisposition to create out of it a premature discontent with the administra tion whose employee he was, the principles and poli- I cy of which administration, as many Southerners be lieved, were directly at. variance with the tone and 1i tenor of GoV. WALtKEnS conduct. We cite no lower names than R. M. T. HUNTn of Virginia, JEFFER- r sox Divis of Mississippi, and Wn. L. YAxCEY of Alabama, as representing that portion of the South- a ern people who conceived this line of forbearance just and proper under the circumstances which sur- f rounded us; where the South stood in power before the country, had but recently elected the President of her choice, relied upon his patriotism and believed that he would show himself true to her rights in this very Kansas controversy with sufficient time to maui feet the aims and intentions of his administration. For these reasons chiefly, we repent, many of us, while readily condemning the Kansas Governor, did not think proper to indulge in those extreme terms of censure (implicating the administration) which enannted from others of our high-toned Southern compatriiots. But it now appears that Mr. WALKr.I has stepped beyond the' limits of vapid speech-making and im- I pertinent .dvice. and, in connection with Mr. SECRE -rAnT STAxtNo, has illegally defeated the success of f pro-slavery candidates for office, by actually exerci- t sing a power which was neither vested in hint by his commissiou, by the territorial constitution of Kansas, nor otherwise. In addition to this, as the evidence now stands, he has been guilty of the extraordinary lirocetitre of leading the military, stationed in Kcn sas fur the purpose of quelling disturbances, into an unwarrantable partie l:tiou in election matters, the eheet of which has i.eeu adverse to the interests of the pro-slavery party of the territory. If these state tuent:: be ti s,--andi' from the condemnatory action taken by pro.sluvory men upon the ground we con elude that they are so,-then does ferboaranco to wrds Gov. 1.atn cease to be a virtue in any point of view. Then indeed should the President he called upon b) the South and the Democracy to signify at once his disapprobation of an agent, nliose actual t treason cannot longer admit of extenuation. That t this will be the course of the administration, we have no doubt. Telegraphie dispatches to vurious parts of the country have already indicated that such is its I feeling and its intention. We trust these reports will he speedily verified by a decisive step on the part of the Executive of the Union. He owes it to his hon or, to his party. to the South, and to the country. We ditfor with the Charleston.frceuy. however, as to the real control which WI.u.t:n has all along been able to exert in Kansas. .Much has been said of his using all the appliances of his posiiion. of his being clothed with all the authority of the government, and so on. Now what are " all these appliatces ?" what this " authority of the Governient ?" The language j is indefinite and unsatisfactory. WArxt.:n is no more than situpliy the Gjovernor of lKansas territory, lie has neither money, nor the gift of office, with which to corrupit the people over whom he has been appoint ed. He went amongst thea strangor, and cannot be supposed to have suddenly acquired any such per. sona~l popularity as would enable him to mould public opinion to his wishes. On the contrary, he was doubtless looked upon from the first with caution, if not suspicion, by the independent men of Kansas; and he has prob~ably been watched by themi through out his entire course with all that shrewd intelligence for which a frontier population is proverbially remar kahle. It therefore seems to us irrational to conclude that Roser .J. ALKEa has at any titme possessed otte whit more of real influence in Kansss matters than any other strong-minded iian in the territory. In regard to the pro-slavery men especially, we know many of them to be emigrants from the extreme Southern States, a goodly number from South Caroli na. We ktnow a controlling element of that party to be the so-called Border-Ruffianism of Missouri, thtan wich a sterner or more independent grade of South ernism is nowhere to be found. Can we suppose that WA.KER, even with the powver of money and patron ge, could for a inoment control such men to the re nunintion of a sing5e advantage, or to the yielding of a single poitnt in the contest, which they felt them-. selves secure of attaining ? So to suppose, is to un derrate their intelligence andi insult their honor. It is this conviction of W.tuns real influence in Kansas which has puerhapls caused us to esteem his coductt nmore lightly thtan others have dlone. We hae leoked Ito the pro-slavery men ot the disputed territitry as the lest juthies of their tivernor's course andi its effect.<. We have awaited their aetionm upon is cuinduct, believincg that, they would 4penk out holdly whlent it beeanue necessary to utrge his condem nationi and rentoval. They have donoit si, recently, for the first time. And we itt once recognize their vtice as of authority ini the mattier. WAt.min is nowe the subject of their open denuineintint ; and whether hi< late imptudentt aets haive hbeen the reruiht of de ragement, drutnkenntess, or wilful treasutn, the (ue. - ernmtent is hound to depose hint without delay. The J~rugsay.< it is too0 lute t, dio this, as he hits now one till he can ho. We belie.ve lie has becen power es to tdo our enuse taty detrimietnt oft conseqtuence. It i.- the failure of the scuth to g' uip andh occtpy the land w~htich hia list its Krst.~s if indeed it is lost.

W.u.i:'su course has tetnded to "nearve the pro-sthtvery ment to a stertner detertinatioin to auertt their rights."

Upon the occa ion of the first production of the said partition, ordi was summoned before the curtain, at the close if the performance, no less than thirty times. After herepresentation, thepopulation besieged the windows if Verdi "en masse," with instruments of music and luined torches, and were only disbanded by the rst purplo radiance of the rising sun. Verdi is one of the few men of genius who has 'eceived the reward of his good works on this planet, neof the few chihiren of the gods who has not been uffered to perishothrough neglect, with the poor con olation of a chaplet of laurels intermingled with ypress laid upon his tonmb,-immortal perchance, ret of that immortality which belongoth to silence Lud death.

Whth its rainbow tears and its sunlit shade, And its thousands of beautics, that quickly ftade, Oh thte spring of life ! the spring of life, With its chatnging light, and loveliness rife ! A beautiful maid in the forest lone, Where the trees with their whisp'ring leaves bend dlown, Attd the blue-eyed flower, the wildwood's gem, She dIreamingly culls from its tiny stem; Anud theidatrk blue leaves as she pulls them aptart, Tell their mystic tale to her listtning heart: "lIe loves me well," alh " he loves me net !" " lie lo)ves thtee, sweet one, his love is warm" Oh thuat low, fond voice, atnd thec clasping arm! And the lovers pass fronm the greenwood wild, Alt, thte summer of life ! how it smilled ! htow it smtiled ! A nmatron fair itt life's bhlushing prime, Her britiht face reflectittg life's joys as they shirne; Richt in the love of her heart flowers all, Children so dear, andi the darling of all, Thte beloved of her youtht, who so silcntly stole To her side in thte woods, in thtatsuminer of ol, Wen the blue-eyed " forget ne not,tt told her sweet fate,. Now her Autumn htas ceinee, ah, htow rich is its frutit! A withered danme becditng low o'er the h~eartht, .s Ite dimt twilight gathters over thte earrth, Whre no relies inemaina of hter far ofT yoth, Save a btutnch of pressed flowers that tell her the truth ! Ae, bedosv thett wvith tears, for the dear hand that gave Them to thee in their sweetness, lies itt the dark grave Like thte flowers they fade, the beloved depart, And theo Witer of life freezes over the heart !

Itis sad occurrance happened nearly opposite Stowes Hotel." Mr. Bell gave himself upl andi 'as admitted to bail, but on the death of~ Mr. let was arrested anid is now in jail. The rhole matter will ndergo legal investigation. Gov. WALKIEa AND TiE KANSAS EECTOx. iWe find the following despatch in the Virginia gapers. NEWYOR, Nov.3.-Advices from Lecompton, Kansas to the 23d October, says that Goy. Wal-. ter has issued another proclamation rejecting I 1200 votes returned from McGhee county, for J, .he same reason that he rejected the returns rom Oxford precinct. The proelimation states :hat neither in this case or the otherhasthe Gov mor gone behind the returns ; and disclaims all t right on his part to do so. but says the action is ;aken in consequence of the fatal defect in the 1 form of the returns. tr TuxE ProsrEcOr o Prt:s.-The eomnercial t editor of the Fayetteville Observer, appends the rllowing remarks to a late report, which we s rive for the consideration of all interested, and 1 in reply to inquiries that are heard in all diree- - lions: a Cotton.-We are are often asked, when shall we sell our Cotton? It is travelling out of the way for a reporter to offer his opinion as to the future ; but if it is worth nothing it shall cost you nothing. Well when is the time? I say now. Why? Because Europe wants her sup ply now; and when she gets that the price will g0 down, tor this reason, the United States have 't have now on hand goods enough for a whole C rear, and hence the first rise you will see in this s country will be on cotton goods (for cotton is now above the price of goods.) Again, the pan ic in this country will require time to have its cure; consequently manufactures cannot go on now losing money as formerly, for the reason that they have not got it, and capitalists will not furnish it if they know they cannot get their r money back witn interests. There is another . view to look at. England needs all the gold she al has hence she will not part with it unless she a gets the worth of it. The panic in this country has already had the effect of putting up interest by the Bank of England, and cotton will feel it first. Taking these things altogether, myhonest ( impression is, that the planter will get his best prices between this and the 1st of February, 1858. A STr.nnMOAr NEWsPAPER.-Among other in novations which the mammoth steamer Great Eastern is about to inaugurate will be the publi cation of a daily paper on board for the benefit of the traveling publie-the regular " public" of travelers-whom she may lie bearing across the ocean, Ih:t this startling feature is anticipated on the western waters of the New World, for the New Orleans and St. Louis Packet steamer Jame:; E. Woodruff now sails equiped with the force and material for the publication of a reg ular daily paper on board during her trips up and down the river, with a job office attached for the printing of bills of fare and other work. AN AFECrTN IscinENT IN THE SEror MAs sA. R.-An English otlicer was standing in his bungalow, with only his wife with him. when he v was assailed by a mutinous regiment ; he had a rifle and two revolvers, each with four barrels, , and had nine charges in all. He beat off the mutineers as lone as he could ; he shot their $ leader with his rile; he killed four of them with his first revolver; he killed two more of them s with his second; and he had two charges left. He turned round and looked upon his wife-and $ who can estimate the power of such a look on either side? Must she fill into the hands of such barbarians? They did not fire, because they wanted her, and would not risk her death in shooting him. Ile saw it-she saw it. He had two charges left. A short agonizing groan he fired one into her heart and the other into his own head, and they both fell dead before the mutineers.-Letter from India. TiE S-PENGTHi or MCLEs TEsTED.-Among the interesting incidents observable at the Mary-, land State Fair last week, was the trial of strength of mules in the ring, the load to be drawn consisting of a wagon weighing 2,000 lbs. and 5,000 pounds of brick, the rear wheels of the wagon locked with heavy chains. A team of powerful built animals, belonging to G. W. Worthington, were attached to the wagon, and they drew this immense load a distance of sixty feet. They gave evidence of extraordinary 4 strength, and were perfectly true to the work.1 A team belonging to Mr. Bond were also at. tached to the wagon, and succeeded in drawing the load, but not with the same facility, though they proved themselves valuable animals. Mussulman writers speakc of an ignorant Arab, who being aske~d how lhe knew anything about the exis-tanice of a God, replied: " Just as Iknow ~y thme tracks in thme sand, whether a man or beast has passed there, so when I sur-vey thme! heavens, with its bright stars, and the earth, with its productions, do I feel the existence and power 01 God." 0 B ITU A RY.
