A small error inadvertently occurred in the poetical communication of Mahella, (published in this day's paper,) which was not discovered until it was too late to correct it. In the second line of the poetry, it should read concentrating instead of contracting. Wc would remind our correspondents and friends, that marriages and deaths are published in our paper gratis, provided they come to us free. We received, a few weeks since, from tfurkc county, a small letter, which enveloped a marriage and 17 5-cents in money, with a laconic request for us to return tho change ! Xov? wc will inform the gentleman on the ! waters of I.accoon ranch, that we charge him nothing for publishing the marriage he sent us; but, as the postage ol his let ter (12 cents) was saddled upon us, we shall retain that amount so that there now remains in our hands, to be refunded, the sum of jive cents 1 Colonel Joseph II vw kins, of Warren county, was, on Thursday, the 2 9 tli ult. after two ballotings, elected by the General Assembly Comptroller of the Treasury, in place of Samuel Goodwin, Esq. dee'd. Seven candidates offered for the appoint ment ; and on the second balloting, Col. Hawkins had a majority of 20 votes over all the others. We have repeatedly been asked by our neighbors, Why, in these 44 piping times of peace,' when that memorable declara tion of President Jefferson, u We are all Republicans, all Federalists, " is nearly verified, there arc so many warmly ccn- tested elections. ...such repc-ted ballolings and rc-ballotings, for the most trivial of- ficcs? In answer to this query? wc can only say, m general terms, tnut the most ,,1,, wc iuvc hcai ?;c , sted, ural operations of ",v- our rul, re:jMc-eii?alive system of gov- CI nment. 1 he freedom of our elections jet jjim f)frer for whatever station he may. The Rrea, struRule for Speaker at the last session of Congress, was an ex ample from such hir;h authority, thnt its :nnucncc vas irresistible it caught and rnnt,(r;nI1, raniditv. From members of Congress to Militia subal terns, closely contested elections are now lifrnmino- more and more freciuent. In Vermont, after the seventh tiial for the . f mernj)er of Con-rcss from e,ccut ' . T one of the congressional districts in that w ------- . - - 4 state, Judge White had a majority of three Inral votes, and was accordingly elected : . ' Housc 0f Commons of our state, there wcre.ive ballotmgs beiorc a choice of Speaker could be made there were tivo trials bv our Legislature for the clcc- .. . . t,on Gf a Comptroller ; and numerous oai- Iotings, from day to day, for the choice of Clerks, Sec in the two Houses. Now, in our opinion, there is nothing to be feared from all this. It is rather an evidence th tt virtue and intelligence abound in our country ; for wc cannot believe that so many candidates would be supported by the people, were they not good citizens and virtuous men. GAMBLERS ! At a late sitting of the Grand Jury of the City Court of Cincinnati, upwards of fourscore per sons, embracing Sheriffs, Merchants, liankers, Rrokcrs, Lawyers, Dandies, and Gentlemen, were indicted for gambling, "contrary to the statute in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the state of Ohio." This is a sweeping presentment, but it is one which every good citizen and every lover of social order will heartily applaud. Gambling is a bin of a prolific nature : it engenders every species of iniquity it viciatcs every virtuous principle, r.nd de- bases man beneath the dignity of his na ture. Theft, rapine, and murder, are its concomitants disgrace and the gallows are its rewards ! It is. strange that some men are so blinded, that, rather than be virtuous, they will die martyrs to vice and licentiousness and thus, by on act of suicide, they renounce the earth to forfeit heaven : or, that they should suffer more to be damned than to be saved ! Extract of a letter from an intelligent American in Jaris, to k' friend in AVitf-fbrA, dated July 26, 1821. u Of our country and government, the people here entertain strange notions ; the liberal ::dore us ; the vulgar consider us as an inferior race of beings, because we have no king, chuich or priviledged or ders ; and the ruling party regard us pret ty much as they do oiiginal sin, the causje of all the evils they have suffered in this world, for which we are finally to be pun ished here, and damned hereafter.'

Several corroborating accounts assure us of the fall of Lima, and with it the separation ol Peru from the royal author ity, i his rich and extensive country may very soon assume an important rank a niong nations, if the people have wisdom enough to uiscern, anu energy sufficient to pursue, their true interests.
