United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Irelandn
This appointment cut and dried before the

out OF the country in state. These facts, however
have all along been strenuously denied nv tho al

turmoil of political warfare-having for the pres

half dozen years hence with trump et-call to the
Presidency, which call he would condescend to hear
and to obey, a la Cincinnatus!

0J-We understand that Mr. Miller has with
drawn himself from the Congressional canvass
lie was induced to take this course, from the
result OF the election i'll Rockbrdge, as unexpcct-
ed to himself as to the public generally. Mr..
Craig was enabled, it seems, to remove the OBJ
Jectons TO his vote for the reduction of the duty
upon Iron &c. and prove himselfas good friend
to the Tariff for the encouragement of these
important productions of our district as he had
been to the improvement of the district by means
ofthc Buffaloe Road.
Mr. Miller considers the question as narrowed
down to one of mere personal feeling, in which
the district can of course take but little interest
and permitting him to consult his personal con-
venience, and that Of his friends.
We have no doubt of the vote OF this county
beng large, & the majority decided; but not sui-
cent with the aid ofAllcghany to insure success
Mr. Nl.er is right to consult his personal conve-
nicnce and retire from a laborious canvass, which
in all probability mig!t result against him. We
understand that Mr. Miller has been warmly soil
cited to offer for the Legislature, but that he has
refused; notwithstanding this beii@ve it is the
determination of some of his friends TO open a poll
for him, and we know Mr.. Miller too we'll to be-
evo ne will refuse the cali of his fellow. at

Ihe exploring ezpedition-The New York NTer.
camille Advertiser furnishes the following in(orma
ton relative to the result of the American explorp
expedition to the Southern seas:-
We learn by the exploring brig Annawan Gan
tain Nathl. b. Palmer, arrived at this port from The
South Seas, that she parted company with her con
sort, the SeraPh, Capt Pcndleton, in gale on Ist
june TO the westward Of Cape Horn The Iaiior
vessel no doubt will soon arrive. The Scrapb and
Annuwan, were fitted out and sailed from fbis
port, in October, 1899, on a dicovcry and expIor.

private enterprise, brit having the patronage Of
government, it was expected that it would prove
national benefit to navigation, commercial trade
&c; but which, after all the laudable and praise
worthy exertions of its promoters, has, il appears
failed of producing in any great degree, the expcc
ted national benefits, from causes, however entire

manders, the want bnt for authority from govern

of their crews, forced the commanders from tLc
route laid out by their instruction. and to rive nm
their exploring and discovery, and left to them nS
other alternative than to make collection of seal
skins, &c, and return bomC;-estafiishinp the fact
that an enterprise Of this Estyre, cannot DO sue
ccssfuly and thoroughly CARED into effect bv pri
vatc men; but the Seraph and Annawan have now
produced in evidence, beyond a doubt that a public
expedition. of exploring and disco cry is the only
one that is calculated to insure and OBTAIN the great
and desired national benefits

HE New MINIsTER.-It was mentioned by Sc
veral of our contemporaries yesterday, that Mr. Van
Buren, would sail from this port for England in the
POTOMAC, in all next week. There is no doubt
that this noble ship was ordered hther for such SER
vice; but we have skill in political dvination
and we predict that Mr.. Van Buren, aoiH not go out
in her.
By the way, in copying the official ann ouncement
of the appointment of Mr.. Van B. and Mr. Vail
as his secretary of Legation, the Telegram phi asks-
"Will the Globe tell us who Mr.. Vail is, and by
what right he claims to be a citizen of New ork?''
We have repeatedly heard the same questions
asked in this city.

Death of Dapia Williams, the last Of the caDl,rs Of

Thursday with military honoEs, at Liyingstonville,

This venerable patriot (says the Argus was in

not only to live and TO act, but to perform service
under the strongest adverse temptations, of meal
culablo value to his country.-There is no event
more strikingly characteristic Of our revolution.
It's objects and agents, than the refusal of three
obscure men, suffering all the deprivations of war
and poverty, and gaining precarious subsistence
by occasional labor on their half deserted farms
and by occasional service in the army, to accept Of
great wealth and auencc at the expense of the cause
in which they were engaged.

1t is the same Gen. Root, who in the sincerity of
his heart, uttered language equivalent to the words
quoted by our correspondent. We also heard him
publicly declare, that he would rather have Billy
