Famine In China.--To the horrors of a civil
war devastating China, have been added those
of famine, which prevails in some provinces.
The Imperial Pekin Gazette, a paper which in
this case would rather conceal than exaggerate
the truth, states that in the province of Shantung the corpses literally strew the fields.
SAVANNAH.-The election on Monday resulted in the success of the entire Democratic ticket for Mayor and Alderman, by a majority two to one. In fact the Whig party seems to have nearly died out in Savannah, for which we should be sorry, if the long experience of Charleston had not shown that the world gets on pretty well without one.
