ATUKlMY, O-TOBKU 20, "stute lections. YUe returns from se veral of the recent Stale elections are most cheering to the Democratic Republican Fennsylvai.ia, the Key-stone parly Stale ami Ohio, the Hercules ol tne West, have both unquestionably elected Democratic Governors. These two, ad ded to Illinois, M due ami Maryland, make a neltg.iiu of live Democratic Governors . . . . ., ... itiP Federal timing me piearui . Whigs not having one change in their la- vor. The Democracy have also increased their strength in the Legislatures of Alaba ma, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Mart laud, Ne.v Jersey, Pennsylvania andj,M)n Maine the Whigs have but a certain in- j crease in the Legislature of Louisiana, an J j a doubtful o.ieiu that of North Carolina,!

CCTW'e will insert in our next, the pro ceedings at the Democratic Dinner at Yan cey ville, together with the interesting Id ler from Senator Strange. Texas. The Gb.be states, that the Texan Minister has delivered to the acting S creiary of State a note, slating that lie had been instructed b his (Jovernment to comaiunicate to that of the United States, its form d and absolute withdrawal of the proposition for her admission into the U i;i -it. shstssment $f Lands. It is known that at llii3 last session ol our L gislaiure, the Revenue Law was so amended, as to make ithe duty of the County Courts to ap point, in lb? several districts id' ihe respec tive counties, a ard of Valuation, for the purpose of assessing ihe lands it being believed, that under the old plan ol valuation, great injustice was done both to the State and individuals. The result of ihe first operations under this law proves this to be the lact, though its pi in-1 ciple has not been fairly tested throughout j the State. a number ol counties, the Acts of Assembly did not arrive in time to enable ihe Court to comply with the re- qoisiiious of the new law, and, o( course, in these counties, the valuation was made as usual by the land owner himself. Enough is ascertained, however, to show the w holesomeness of the new regulation, and ihe great advantages accruing to ihe Slate from the change. The Clerks and Sheriff having just made their annual returns to the Comp troller, we are enabled, through the po liteness of that Officer, William F. Col lins, Esq. to state ihe following particu lars : Value of lands in North Carolina, in 183G, as reported by theCierks to the Comptroller's Department, .$39,230, 1 OS Unlisted lands for 1S3G, accounted for by the Sheriffs 2.329253 Total valuation for 1830, 41,503,301 Value of lands for 1837. as reported, 51,059,039 Unlisted lands account ed for, 722,097 Total valuation for 1837, 51,780,730 Deduct valuation for 1830, 4 1,505 301 Difierence of valuation, $ 10,2 1 5,375 Il will, thus be seen, by taking ihe ag gregate valuation of 1830 from that of 1S37, that there is an increase in the va luation of Ileal Estate, in favor of ihe lat ter year, qf Ten millions, two hundred and fifteen thousand, three hundred and Seventy-five dollars, ($10,215,375;) while ' !the value of ihe unlisted' lands has decreas ed One million, six. hundred and six thou- rsaml, five hundred and fifty Vtx dollars, ft G0G.55U ) The L-omptrone us that he is unable to furnish at present, for want of proper returns, the d.llerence il he number of Acre listed lor taxation, but will have it m hi power to no so ve. v shortly. The increase in the valuation ol !,,.! 'will give a corresponding increase of the Revenue, from that source, ol more than Six thousand dollat liu. Iteg. Our University. A Catalogue of the Trustees, Faculty and Students connected with this Institution, has just been publish ed, and we are gratified to find ' that its prospects were never more llattering. A ihe increased prosperity of lite College i not owing to any momentary impulse, but springs from ihe more just appreciation ol lis chaiacler which, we are confident, now pervades the Stale, we look forward wijh pride and pleasure to the slill higher emi uence which it is destined to attain among the Literary Institutions of the country.

Distressing A'ttcs-. The loss of life and property by ihe late storm is greater than ever before known by a single hurricane. It is said the southern coast is literally lined with wrecked vessels; ami that on the Bahama Banks, which lie opposite to ihe coast of Florida, between thirty and forty vessels were lost on lhe 7ih of Sep tember. The gale was tnosl frightfully violent, blowing the bare m-asls and spars out of staunch and new vessels. Among those wrecked on- the coast of Florida was a French brig from Havanna, bound to Bordeaux; only seven out of six leen persons who were on board, were saved. The survivors were visited by a large parly of armed Indians, who spared ihcir lives because they were Frenchmen, saying thai ihey kill all Americans. The brig Alua, Thomas, of Portland, from Si. Thos. also went ashore al lhe same place and every man on board was massacred by the Indians, except one Dutchman, who was spared at (he lime d the general slaughter, and subsequeni! hid himself in the hold of die brig.
