From 161 members of the House of Repre sentatives, the administration party has dwindled down to 78, including one Whig from Tennessee, one from Kentucky, and one from Maryland; and allowing them three in Louisiana, four in Mississippi, and Messrs, Bayly and Smith, of Virginia This is a fair estimate of the popular Btreifgth of the present administration. The op position have a majority of the representatives of sixteen States; the administration of ten. In two there is a tie, and one, Illinois, is not yet determined. It is clear, then, to every reflecting mind, that the verdict of the people is adverse to locofoco misrule and corruption ; and it is equally clear that the termination of this administration ends the political supremacy of the faction of which it is the contemptible exponent. We had no idea that the defeat of its party in Maryland, New York, and Massachu setts, would so confound and bewilder the "Stan dard," and make it almost lose its wits, as its last issue would indicate. The effect upon it of its party's disastrous reverses is melancholy indeed. We feel sorry, very sorry ; but we have no balm to apply, no consolation to offer. We simply suggest to the Editor to try to take things philo sophically -just as they, come. If the bright vision "of the spoils is receding from him, to feel sad is appropriate enough ; but to weep and to blubber is neither seemly nor manly, even in the extremest hour of adversity.; A stiff upper lip, until the skies brighten again, is a very good motto. 1ST We are gratified intensely gratified that the American party of New York and Massachu setts have succeeded in accomplishing what all other parties there were confessedly inadequate to that is, the defeat and dispersion of the Black Republicans. And do they, in the estimation of the locofoco press, deserve no credit and no thanks for this achievement? It would seem not. The Hards the national wing of -their own party were incompetent to the task ; and so were the Softs the Free-soil wine even if these latter were not as objectionable to. the South as the Black Republicans themselves. We put this question to the "Standard," and crave a distinct reply : Would it have rejoiced over the success of the Softs? Does it deplore their defeat ? If so, it would have rejoiced over the success, and now deplores the defeat, of a party not a whit less fe rocious and persistent in its hostility to slavery extension than the Black Republicans I ' The Seward organ at Albany the Jour nal is as mad as a March .hare with the Massa chusetts straight-out Whigs. In its wrath, it ut ters the following declaration, which we have no doubt is true: " The Republican Ticket was defeated by Messrs. Choate, Winthrop, and other Whigs, who can't think of opposing the extension of slavery, lest it should disturb fraternal relations with our Southern brethren." True enough: If the Whigs of Massachusetts had voted for Rockwell, the Fusion ists would have been victorious. But the patriotism of Choate and others forbade such a consumma tion and thanks to them for it. UsiVsasiTT Magazine. The November num. ber of this publication has been received.

The shameful example of the Administration, in levying a tax' on the Government cmp'oyees, to be used for purposes of bribery and corruption, nas ren lollowert bv others in authority, no doubt in compliance with instructions from head quarters. The New York Times eives the fol lowing instance of another resort to this shame ful means- for the promotion of a foul object ; " Thursday of last week was pay-day at the Custom House. Salaries were wanted wanted for coal bills and winter clothing, nd millinery and furs for the women, warm wrapping for the children, warm shelter for all hands. Thursday was rent-day, too, and londlorda are impatient. Never, consequently, was the face of the tax-collector .more offensive and frigidly unwelcome than when the proper authorities announced to all and singular, the clergy and laity of the Customs, that fifteen per, cent of the whole sum due each man must be voluntarily subscribed to the elec tion fund ; in other words, that out of every thous and dollars paid, one hundred and fifty must go into the pockets of Cochrane, Rynders and com pany, for the behoof of Tammany Hall 1" We have received from the author, Dr. Fennbb. (formerly of this State,) a copy of a short treatise recently published by him in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, and now re-published in pamphlet form, "on Yellow fever in Norfolk and Portsmouth, 1856." This is 'a very interesting paper, from the pen of a physi cian eminently qualified for the task of writing a history and description of the terrible scourge which devastated these cities for more than three months a period which constitutes the most memorable era in their history. Dr. Fen ner was one of those gallant medical heroes who volunteered their services in behalf of the suffer ers from the pestilence. He came from New Or leans, where he resides, to Norfolk, and reached the latter city whilst the Fever was at its height. He remained there, actively and assiduously de voting himself to the assistance of the sick, during the whole remainder of the season of mortality. He quitted not his post until the Fever had run its course and there was no further occasion for his attendance.- In the treatise before us he gives his readers an account of the nature, symptoms and aspects of the awful disease, in its different stages, as he saw it, and adds a variety of state ments and incidents in connection, all of which possess a deep interest. We give an extract from the conclusion of the pamphlet as to the .origin of the disease, a ques tion of great interest : "It must remain shrouded in doubt, until all the facts and circumstances attending its com mencement are fully reported. But two sources are looked to by common consent it must have originated either from a local cause in connection with a peculiar constitution of the atmosphere around, or from a morbific germ imported by the steamship Ben rranklui. luat it may have originated from the former would appear proba ble, from the fact that three cases ot yellow fever occurred last year in Norfolk, and at the spot where tha epidemic of that city commenced this year, l nis was tne ceieoraiea carry s now, which was burned this year. I hese cases oc curred late in the season and weie not traceable to any foreign connection. In 1852 there were also several well marked cases of yellow fever in Norfolk, likewise apparently of local origin. I was also informed that some cases very much like yellow fever, though perhaps not unquestionable, were observed this year simultaneously with the first cases on board the Ben Franklin. Bnt, cm the other hand, it is certainly true that the epi demic appeared to commence at the spot where the Ken Franklin laid, which was at uosport, and from there spread progressively over Ports tnouth and Norfolk." The Clayton-Bulweb Tbeatt. A Wash ington correspondent of the New York Times 7 A does not think that this treaty is at an end, be cause of the failure of Great Britain and the Uni ted States to agree in its construction. Such a consequence does not follow by any means. The treaty can be abrogated only in one way, other than by War, or by the act of the treaty- making power. The only other mode by which we canjabrogate a treaty is by act of Congress. This was. done in the case of France, towards the close ofj the last century. France and the United States disagreed as to the construction of a treat-, and France refused to make another, which might have reconciled the difficulty. In that condition of affairs, the United States released itself from the obligations of the treaty, by means of an act of Congress declaring the treaty null and void. Neither of these agencies have yet intervened to give the treaty in question a quietus. It is still the law, and diplomatic history teaches us that the amicable settlement of controverted issues between nations almost always springs from the very condition which seems to present the most irreconcilable differences. The result of the recent elections has taken the Administration and the locofocos en tirely abode. They had proclaimed, ever since the Virginia election, that the American Party was dead and gone. -They wake up and-find themselves mistaken. In Maryland and New York, especially, they expected to succeed. .They find that all their efforts, means, appliances, have been in vain, and all their calculations erroneous. The American party, since they have thrown off and rejected some of the jeature in their organi zation the secrecy and the obligations, and the exdiuive reference to any particular religiou de nomination, have gained strength, every where. True American principles must ultimately prevail in this country. : Nobth, Carolina Appointment. Theophl- lus Carey Callicot, counsellor-at-law in the city of New York, has been appointed, by Gov, Bragg, a commissioner to take depositions, acknowledge ments of deeds, &c., f.the .State of North Car olina. This is a, reappointment, Mr. Callicot having held the same office some years ago. "The Raleigh Star."

The unexpected result of the recent elections in Maryland, New York and il isachudetts as the "Richmond Whig" says, has disappointed the hopes and upset the calculations of the Foreign iocofoco party to a . most, terrific extent. The leaders and wire-workers of that party are utter ly confounded. They had imagined that the Presidency nd all the spoila of Government would certainly be continued in their possession, as the necessary consequence of the fusion and confusion which appeared to prevail throughout the Northern States. But this fusion and confu sion have been routed, dispersed, and made to bite the dust. And so the support of the Democ racy's hopes for the next Presidential campaign has been taken from them; aud these patriotic gentry are all at sea, not knowing whither to steer or what to do to save themselves from ut ter and disastrous shipwreck. We pity their con dition ; but it is due to the blundering imbecility of the Pierce and Forney Administration an Administration of the Democracy's own choice and making, and an Administration, too, which was endorsed by the entire Vir ginia Democracy, at their Stauuton Conveu- rtion. As a national party, the Democracy is dead beyond the hope of resurrection. For the baker's dozen of national Democrats in each of the Free States can lend no efficient aid to the party in a national contest, even if they remain, firm in their national faith which may be reas onably doubted, as but few Northern politicians of any party have backbone enough to continue in a powerless minority very long. And thus the conviction is forced upon us, that there can really be no such thing as a national Democratic party in the next Presidential struggle. On the other hand, the American party, which is the most conservative and national of all North-' era parties unless the handful of Hards and the straight-out Wliigs may constitute an exception has exhibited a strength and a determination in the late election of which the mast sanguine of its friends had hardly dreamed. It presents a bold, compact front, in opposition to sectionalism and Sewardism ; and upon this issue, especially in New York, it waged the coutest and won the victory. The Seward orgau at Albany the Eve ning Journal only the day before the election, undertook to describe the difference between the platforms of the various parties then in the field, aud said that the American party was substan tially a pro-slavery party that is, that unlike all other parties in that State, except the Hards, it was in favor of the admission of slave States equally with free. Aud this, be i.t remembered, is the only point at issue between the North and South. All other parties and factions at the North, except the Americans and the Hards, are opposed now and forever so run their declara tions to the admission of any more slave States into the Union. The question, we repeat, wheth er Congress shall assume the right to exclude a State, because it is a slaveholding State, is the only practical question now at issue between the South and the North. Arid the American party being sound on this question, there is no difficul ty in the way to a thorough re-organization of the party, North and South, upon this just and simple basis. We, therefore, confidently antici pate that the National Philadelphia Convention can and will adopt a platform, which will be ac ceptable to the party in every State in the Un ion. And why should it not ? Where's the dif ficulty ? No one, North or South, now proposes to disturb any existing legislation upon the sub ject of slavery. Not even the lilack Hepublicans for their purpose, it successiui in the late elec tions, was to nullify it practically, so far as it ap plies to the Territories, by resisting the admission of any more slave States. The idea of repealing the Nebraska-Kansas act was abandoned by them entirely ; and instead of that, they had determined to whip the devil round the stump, by saying, by their votes, that none but free States should here after be allowed to enter the Union. But the Black fanaticsare fortunately stripped of all pow er to carry out their views ; and now the Ameri can party, which is entirely friendly to tTie ad mission of Slave States, is happily, in the ascen dant, and has become the controlling element in those States where the Fusiouists calculated to sweep every thing before them. The prospects of the American party, therefore, are bright and cheering. It has a high mission before it ; and, if it acts wisely and discreetly, firmly maintaining its position and giving no quarter to fanaticism and sectionalism, its triumph in the next Presidential campaign will be placed beyond the reach of the hazard. It is therefore the duty and the interest of the party in aU the Northern States to nationalize itself thoroughly, where this has not already been done that is, to allow not even the smell of Abolitionism to taint its garments, but to take its stand, every where, boldly and at once upon the broad, national plat form of the finality of past legislation upon the subject of slavery, and the saving doctrine of non interference in the Territories. This platform would embrace every thing that is just and practi cal would harmonize and consolidate the party and lead to a splendid victory, and give peace and security to the Union. And what more does any man -want can any man hope for, either North or South ? Here is a common ground, upon which all of us may proudly and consist ently stand and here is the ground upon which victory must be woii, if won at all. The American party, we repeat, has everything in its own hands for the next year, if it chooses to avail itself of its advantages. It has only to will it, and Fusionism is prostrate forever, and this miserable administration is tumbled to the ground. Let it be done, and then the maxim, that "Americans alone shall rule America," will be fulfilled, and our institutions will be safe. The pseudo-DemocTKcy at Holly Springs, Miss., utterly hopeless of meeting the American party in argument, lately chartered a circus for $600, thinking, doubtless, that the wit of , .the clown would compensate for the want of sense, in the old demagoguical party. The anti-American Democracy having got a crowd into town to gape at the circus, speaks in the morning, and, in order to disappoint the Americans, sets the clown to work at night.

Fortu nately, no one was injured, though considerable damage was done to the engines. " Help v, Cassics." A correspondent of a New orkj journal; writing from Washington City, says: ' ' " - " The "British minister here has discovered a secret circular of the Irish Emigration Aid Asso ciation, whose object is to aid Ireland to free her self frora England's rule, now, while the latter is engaged in the Eastern war. ' Britain is seriously alarmed, arid beseeches the President to take in stant measures to save Ireland from the Irish." H the President has been appealed to, as stated he will interpose at once. He is under stood to be very strongly opposed to the Ameri cans ruling their own country, and of course, he will do what he can to prevent the I"8tt frm ruling,i Ireland. , According to the .notions of Pierce and his party, foreigners are more fit to rule a country than natives. Of a certainty, then, he will give a willing ear to that appeal of the British Minister. . NEWS OF THE DAY. The Norfolk Argus, alluding to the present cheerful aspect of affairs there, says : The people "swarm in the market places and at the ferry landings. The returned refugees are rather care ful about going out at night ; but there are many to be spen after the shades of evening fall around. And then the ding-dong of the steamboat bells, the lumbering of the express wagons, the rattle of the heavy dray wheels, the. loud and careless laugh of the laborer, the voices of buyers and salesmen, the musical jingle of gold and silver, the ring of the hammer on the smooth faced an vil, the pufTand hissof steam in short, the noises usual in a city, sound strangely here, and form a striking contrast to the stillness that pervaded the city during the long night of death that has just passed by." A Narrow Escape. On Tuesday morning, a young man H Wakefield, New Hampshire, ap parently died of malignant fever, and the occu pants of the' house were very anxious to have the body interred the same day, for fear of contagion. They applied accordingly to the incumbent of a church in tie suburbs, but he. declined, con sidering the proceeding too hasty. During the night the seaming corpse gave signs of life, and at the hour Appointed for his burial, the young man was in jthe enjoymeut of a cup of coffee, which he hail asked for, and is said to be in a fair way of recovery. Population of Illinois. Eighty-four coun ties of Illinois, by oe returns at the secretary's office, show a population of 1,016,120. The re main'ng counties in 1850 had a population of 156, 000, which, with the same ratio of increase shown in the cauntiesetumed, will give a total popula tion of -1,283,000. The full report will vary but little from these figures. Scarcely any political event of the day has given more satisfaction to the Americans and Whigs throughout the country, than the election of Henry Winter Davis to Congress from Balti more.

This, seems al most incredible,' but appears to be true. Mr Robinson is1 evidently "progressing backwards." FRUITS OF VICTORY. The New York Mirror, in a well-timed article, has the following judicious remarks, which we commend to the attention of the country.: " The Americans, after various disasters, incident to a new, imperfectly organized party, are closing up their ranks, and planting their victorious banners in every section of the Union. Considering their age in the political : drama, their triumph has been ample. Over-success is over-elating and destructive. Hard-fought battles and occasional defeat discipline new forces, and tra'n raw re cruits into veterans. It will be better for them, in the great coming contest, that they have, in these preliminary skirmishes, found some obsta cles in the way. It has taught them the need of unity and harmony in their councils, aud of vigil ance and endurance at every outpost, and in all their camps. " The field now lies broad and clear before the Americans. They are in power in New York, Ohio, California, Louisiana, Maryland, Ken tucky, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, and have proved their ability to carry Pennsylvania on a square American issue. In a national contest, with a fair platform and strong leaders, they can carry Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, and Vir ginia, and, we doubt not, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, and North Carolina. At any rate, no other party can boast o fair a prospect of na tional success in 1850. I " The victories just won will add vastly to the I chances and influence of the American party. Their best fruit will be to assure thousands in every State, who have all along sympathized with the American movement, but who, timid and wavering, have consulted their caution, and waited to see whether American triumph, was certain. These thousands will now rush into the American ranks, and many " leading" men of old parties, who have heretofore fought the American battle under cover, will come out and fight openly and will bring the dependants on their example with them. The moral influence of the American victory in the great State of New York, with its one-fifth of the white popu lation of the Union, can hardly be over-estimated. It will invigorate Americanism throughout the Union. " If the battle in this State were to be fought over to-morrow, the victory of Tuesday would add 25,000 to the American column. The scat tered forces, the camp-followers, the doubters and waverers, all tend to the victorious side in politics as ir war. A great thing for the Ameri can party are these triumphs in New York, Mas sachusetts, Louisiana and Maryland as great in their influence on the masses of the people as in their direct results. They are a song and pro phecy of national triumph." Highly Important from Washington Commodore Paulding to be sent to San Juan The British Went Indies Fleet The Movement regarded, in Washington as Indicative of Hostilities, &c. Washington, Nov. 13. Commodore Paulding has leen selected by the Secretary of the Navy as a prudent officer to visit San Juan, Nicaragua, with his flag ship, the Potomac. He was closeted to-day with Secretary Dobbin and a consultation held between them relative to the course to be pursued by him in that quarter, notwithstand ing he avowed himself entirely innocent of the objects of the British fleets just despatched to the West Indies.

In fact, it is a beautiful situation, where roads and cross-roads pass and not very far from where the plank and rail roads passes ; it is a desirable place for a physi cian or merchant, and as healthy a situation, per haps, as any in that section of the county. In addition to this, I will also sell to the highest bidder for cash some EIGHT or TEN LIKELY NEGROES, or more, consisting of Men, Boys, Girls, Women and Children, and none to say old, at my residence; and will also hire out for the en suing year, some two or three, or more, Turpen tine hands, good Distillers and Barrel-makers of Oak and Pine Timbers, and likely. Also, some one or two good cooks, and girls and boys for farmers use ; and I will also sell, if not sold before, one team of Mules and two Wagons, Gins, Blacksmith Tools, &c, and Horses. N. B.
