Gl "Pdr .Nobite Erarua," says the Enquirer ofthe
n. Y American and Nat. Journal; the latter having
endorsed the opinion of the American in relation
the Editor OF the Enquirer. The Enquirer seems
Ito think is known ny the company he ussoci
ates with If this be in ali cases, what will be
tire opinion of the associate of the Washington Tel
egrsph, They to be most lovingly draw
ing in the same harness. The time is coming and
not far distant, when there will be separation be-
tween these loving friends and then lock out for
squalls.
" We omitted to mention in Yesterdays paper,
that the slave Jasper. who apprehcnded on
charge of aduising another slave to Join III nsur-
rection, tried by the Hastings Court of this CITY,
and discharged. We had intended to state the
grounds on which he was discharged, but were una
bic to obtain n correct statement of them -
We now learn that he was discharged because the
evidence was not sufficient to satisfy the Court that
there any serious intention the part of the ac
cnsed to advise instruction. There was no dis
cussion upon the evidence by the counsel on either
side. and the Court was unanimous, understand,
for his discharge
The Corporate Authorities of Petersburg have
=. TO direct engineer survey .he route of rail
road from that town to the Roanoke, and if an en-
gineer cannot be furnished by the President thew hav
authorised the Mayor to employ for that pur-
pose. THIS looks like being III earnest, and we most
ardently wish our neghbors the complete sue
cess. The Petersburg Times remarks tnilows:-

~ The last Louisville Advertiser contains the
proceedings of dinner party given to he Hon. John
Rowan, and speech OF two columns from that
gentleman. No hue and cry will be raised by the
Jackson papers, this occasion. Any body has
right to make speeches, except Dir. Clay.
~ We continue TO receive through The papcrs of
PENNSYLVANIA, the most certain evidence that the
next Election of President, will there turn upon the
question of the Tarif.-Pittsburg has commenced
the battle, and the cry is spreading far and wide.
This has become test already in the elections to
the State Legislature.-IIow the present Admins
fratan can steer its course tn the South
and retain Pennsylvania, is beyond our ken. We
do not believe it possible Pennsylvania is opening
her eyes to the deception practised upon her at the
last election, and, when she gets wide awake there
certain of her politicians, and Inghan of the
Treasury, at the head of them will meet the reward
they Justly merit-the frowns of an indignant and
abused people.
The Pre.ident THE Norfolk papers OF Monday
state that ,ha President would tako his departure
that morning in the Potomac for Washington. With
regard to his health the Herald says: q
1--WE learn from gentlemen who visited him at the
Rip Raps yesterday and the day before that he looks
remarkably we'll and that his health is very much
improved" ''The speculations and anxeties about
his health which we have in several OF the pa
pers are, assured, untounJed i'll any real
of alarm"
The Beacon SAYS
1.-THE PaEsIDEsr attended Divine service at Old
Point yesterday, and his health appeared much i'm
proved"
And correspondent oythe Beacon adds:
"Wh the exception of a Sigh; inflammation about
the forehead produced, understand, by the sting of
sea nettle, while bathing few days since, he is to
all appearance entirely exempt from disease"
