 "If may now be assumed that in the next Presidential canvass, MT. Van Buren will not ruf alone. The canvass thckens, and will no doubt. be crowded. highly respectable portion of Virginia is already moving. Their favosiic candidate is the distinguished Benja- min Watkins Leigh. now nf Richmond, a man of much higher character than that of Van Buren.8 It is no Wllerc douhted that Mir. Webster and John Mclean will he brought forward and probably Mir. Clay, Governor Cass, and Louis McLane.

Calhoun may be found in the next election no one can aniIcpats. If he shall not he held up candidate himself. he will most likely be found with Judgf Mclean or MT. Leigh. who is very popular in the Southprn States. 1t may however happen that Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun will remain where they have done more by united ca,in- selssin one session of the Senate, than Van B.Ten with all his partisans could itrct io.a life of four score. Although the election is three years ahead, nevertheless the contest is aboIt tn he orenrd. Let 1t he commeucra: and public opinion and the press will shon de- signate the fasorite. In that case, think that Martin Van Buren wiAfe in the prehica-- mcnt of the Irish boy in his fathers mud cd ifice. Where has he any force ?''

The rear chimnirs, parapets. fire walls. &c.nf almost every store on the nOrti, of Main street, aud the front work of those on the south side are demolished. On the hill some % or 80 houses are laid low, others are unroofcd, with both gable ends blown out In many instances whole sides are gone; trees are uptorn; steamboats are driven from their moorings with loss of upper works. Our store is the centre tenement of a building of three stories, divided by high fire walls. and cover ed with lead. All this IS swept off. Masses of lead weighing at least 200 lbs. were stripped from it. and lodged on buildings oyer the way. By being on the spot we have avoided dam age. although our roof is complete riddle. Only one life, as yet, is known tO be lost"
