Mr.. RANpoLPH's WILL.-The General Court
adjourned on Friday last, after session of seven.
teen days. On Friday evening the Court decided
that the will Of Mr.. Randolph, dated in Deceni.
her, 1921, with its codicil annexed, the codici Of
1876, the four codicils of 1925, and the codicil Of
1881, written in London, should be admitted to
probate as the last will and testament of that ex.
lraordinary man. The eject Of these instruments
is, we understand, to librate his slaves and mo,
vide for Their removal to one of the States or Iei-
rories. To Judge Tucker, his halt brother, and
to Mrs. Bryan, the daughter of half sister, 10
each) an estate is devised. The great bulk oitle
remaining property is devised to Judge eieh, hut
he having released all his interest, ii will be dstr-
buted equally among MIR. RS 'noM OF kin. The
Court was nearly unanimous, one Judge only dir
senting. An appeal, We understand, was taken
to The Court of Appeals.

We received the following important Circular
from the Treasury Department last week, but too
late Tor insertion in our last paper. The Globe
has long and able article, pointing out the neces-
sity of the course adopted in the Circular, and the
advantages which will be derived from it. We will
give, in our next, brief synopsis of this article
nothing but want of room prevents us from doing
it to-day. We regret that our limits will render
it impossible for us to give the entire article.
The wing presses will no doubt kick up a great
fuss about this circular Indeed they have already
broken ground against it. The tocsin has been
sounded-the alarm has been given, and another
panic is to be got up. But fortunately, they are
now almost poweress for evil.-They have lost
the ear of the people. Their groundless denm-
Citations, and lll-boding predictions are alike un-
Needed.

between the Vice President 'and lady of the

No doubt the parties concerned are highly indebt-

match, but they have drawn upon their imagination
for tie facts. 1t is an old saying that a man does

TO Our correspondent I'D" we presume, did not
mean, by the queries which he put to the editor of
the Argus, TO intimate that Judge White was an
aboitonist five understood him correctly,hs pur-
pose was merely to show that there were as good
grounds of objection against Judge White on the
score of abolition, as there were against Mr.. Van
Buren,. But our correspondent can explain his in
lention much better than we can. We hope to hear
from him again.

MuSrAoHtos.-A friend Of ours tells an
amusing story of Commodore Elliot and his
officers,
Duing his cruise in the Constitution, he
touched at Havre, and allowed many Of his
mldsh'pmen TO visit Paris On their return
they all busted themselves in cultivating mus
tachios. The commodore was ycxed at

grounds west of the Mississippi. Among tho
number were the hostile warriors who had been
captured and led to surrender with their wives aud
children. The two celebrated Chiefs Neo Niece.
and Neo Ematha were Of the suit. The crafty
Jim Henry. who has been the instgator of so
many murders is detained at Montgomery, we un-
derstand, by order of GOV. Clay, to answer for his
crimes, as the laws Of nations and OF our common
country demand. Several of his accompln es in
cruelty are also detained as prisoners. The wife
OF jim Henry was among the emigrants who
visited our city. The parting between Jim Henry
and his wife Is represented IA being truly affecting.

objections % Mr. Van Buren, ami TO has oonhec-
ton with the proceedings ia Albany, and in the
New York Legislature, in regard to the Missouri
question.
Mr.. Van Buren's support Of Mr.. King, had no
reference whatever to the Missouri restrictions;
he advocated his election, because he was con-
ymced that she was decidedly with the republican
party in their opposition to Mr.. Clinton" This
is proved beyond doubt, by the pamphlet above
mentioned, in which, although every argument Is
brought forward that the writer deemed pertinent
IN favor of Mr.. King, the Missouri question is not
once even alluded to. This is the strongest ne
gatye proof and until some positive evidence is
adduced to the contnry-and none ever has been,
or ever can be adduced-we are bound to believe
that the Missouri question did not constitute one
Of Mr.. Van Buren's reasons for the support Of
Rufus King. 80
VoLuSTEERs-We had fine turn out on We'd

and some from the adjoining counties assembled in
great numbers and paraded through the streets
headed by Maior-General Acee Colonel Estes, and
Captain Tracy of the Columbus ancers. They
presented quite an imposing spectacle In the even
ing they adjourned To the Court House in order to
respond to the call olthe Governor in LIS recent pro-
camation for volunteers. Several gentlemen ad-
dressed the company in an impressive and eloquent
manner, After which, seventy citizens Immediately
came forward and volunteered their services They
then proceeded TO the election of officers, when
Pryor NJ. Grant was chosen Captain Everard Dows-
ing, Jr. first lieutenant, Augustus NJ. Tomkins Sc

 Ii is to be feared that the Tories win insGne towns play desperate game, especially where they are in possession of the town authorities It manifest that the leaders think that their fortunes are at the last gasp and 1t Is not to be expected that they should give up the ghost politically without struggle It has been suggested that planis on foot togve hint tother troops to be early the ground. and then to close the ballot bxes so to exclude the Wings from voting. This manouvre has we understand been threatened to be put in practice in Litchfeld, but whether it will receive the sanction of the Sclecten or of any moderator that may be appointed by them remains to be seen. The public may be assured that in some towns there is no trickery too vile for Van Burensm The Wings have an easy remedy for such evils-let them be early the ground, prepared to meet the foe face to face In some cases also their votes may be rejected under frivolous pretences we advise them in all cases to go promptly to the ballot oox to tender heirvotes and demand their admissions

LOCO-FOCOIsM AND ITS REMEDY.
 There are . multitude of sound democrats in this county who are quite dissatisfied with that species of LocorocorsM that gained entire ascendancy in the last Legislature, and resulted in appointing such character as PERRY SMITH member of the Senate of the U s. to the great disgust of all reasonable men, and the infinite -dscrcdit of the State. We believe that the most respectable portion of the democratic party are resolved to have remedy for the evils that affect the body polite. We beg of them to consider well of the measures which should be adopted to ob. tain relief If MT. Van Buren is elected President, will not the radical party be fostered throughout Con. necticut Win not the hands of Perry Smith & O.. be greatly strengthened7 Many democrats, in the event of the success of MT. Van Buren, must prepare the,r necks for Ae POLITICAL eUILIoTmE; for when have the loco loco leaders been known to forgive an injury. what they consider one It s manifest that true pocy requires that all considerate and well disposed citizens should support HARRISON and GRAM GER, otb unwaverng democrats, as we can thus get rid of radicalism throughout the country. < ag rH f ... agf.-e a6ep NEw-NmFoRD.
