n Mr. Smiley -
have delayed writing for some DAYS past WAITING
ior the Legislature to take definite action rcla
tive to the Banks of this State. The Bill from thr
House OF Representatives, claiming the right of the
Legislature to repeal, stricken out from The enact
ing clause, in the Senate, and substitute en0raftod
transferring the Banks TO the Judiciary bringing
them under many rigid restrictions, and limitations
The Democratic leaders in the Senate have and still
continued throw obstacles in the way of the Bill Ia
prevent its passage Some of them, have stated in nv
hearing that they would rather the Legislature would
adjourn and pass no law at ALL upon the subject, un
less the right Of the Legislature repeal was recogns
ed in the Bill. This Bill as stands, fully pro
Vdes or points out, the mode and manner of wind
ing up all such Charters shall be surrendered To
DC candid upon the subject, entertain strong fears
that there is not Bank in the State that can rescusi.
tate or even survive under the restrictions the

to pass But the eygency OF the times requires that
every one should 60 TO the utmost extent which his
judgment will permit.

State is still waved--there are IS or 40 candidates
There is Resolution before the House. assuming the
right of the State to 10 Directors and DENYING the right

THE SOURCE OF THE THAMES

Within two miles Of Cirencester ia the source of the
Thames clear fountain in a little rocky dell known
by the name of the Thames Head This is the little
intantinc stream great giant when it arrives at it's
full growth.
The little dell whence issues the gentle stream is in
hot season perfectly dry but the drought that stops
The supply at the fountain head has but slight effect on
the course Of the Ii has so many different feed
ers from various parts of the country that at Lcchade
and Grcklade it its usual course uninfluenced
by the scarcity at the head There is an amusing
story told of simple Cockney, who on his way from
Bristol to London turned aside to visit the source of
the river he was so proud Of 1t was a summer;
there had been for three weeks and the spring
was dried up; he said with expression Of the ut
most alarm and sorrow, what ruin this must cause at
London What ever will the poor people do for wa
ter !--and his busy fancy conured up direful pic
ture of thousand ills consequent upon the stoppage
OF the stream; ships arriving at London laden
with the wealth of the world the bankruptcy of rich
merchants, the shutting up Of change the failure Of
the Bank of England, the anguish Of ruined families
and the defeat of thousands in the agones Of thirst
he Germans tell similar story Of a traveller who
visited the iprings of the Danube and which, as we
are upon the subject, may pendant to the
story of our Cockney The traveller in this was
Swabian and whenever the Germans wish TO palm
of joke Swaban is TO be the butt. On mott
cling in what small stream the water trckled at the
source of the great river Danube he formed the bold
resolution of stopping it He put his hand across it
and as he fancied the various cities upon it's course de-
privcd of their supply Of water by this deed he ex-
claimed in the pride Of his heart What will they say

RESULT In VIRGINIA.

The loss of the electoral vote is tn, sole loss sus
tanned by the Wings in this State-and that, to the
conviction Of thousands, effected by fraudulent
voting In every other respect, the contest has de-
monstrated Wing triumph-a continued and in
creased Wing majority in both branches of the Legis-
ature, and clear Wing gain of three Congressional
Districts.
In a moral point of view, the whig triumph is per
feet and complete. The intelligence of the State
the republican portion of the State-the old and re-
nowned revolutionary Virginia is wing to the core
by 5000 majority Old Virginia, the Virginia of
Washington, Henry and Jefferson is Old Virginia
sill, and would, notwithstanding all the illegal votes
that polled have given her vote to her lsstrous
son. but for few counties, of Suaban descent, nine
tenths OF whose people never heard of John Lock,
John Hampden, of Pitt, or of Russell and who can
not speak or understand word OF the immortal Ian
guage in which John Milton wrote. The Anglo
Saxon race-tyrant haters themselves, and the de-
scendants Of yrant haters through five centuries have
had their voices sied in this great struggle for liberty
-by-not the descendants Of the Dutch, who whip
ped Philip OF SPAIN and maintained their independ-
ence against the combined Catholics Of the world
but by the descendants Of Suaban Dutch whose his
tory was never written, whose government has been
mediatised and their landmarks erased from the map
Of Europe, who never understood or could be made
to understand the first principle Of civil liberty
These have overruled the low lands and the chivaI-
spirits Of the mountains and given tho day against
While the reflection which the fact inspires is
IN some respects Illuminating in others it Is cheering
Dfue lorce anu error CANNOT long MAINTAIN the une
quail combat against intelligence and truth
But this solid mass Of asininity had ayailed
nothing had only the true and legitimate voice of the
people Of Virginia been heard At the lowest esti-
mate there have beer less than an average Of 20 il
legal votes poed against in each county Of tile State
In some more in some less-but the aggregate will
reach at least 1000 $500. To this, however we
must submit for the nonce and we do so only be-
the great result the election of Gen Harrison
has not been affected by it. But if there be power
with the people the repetition of such usurpation will
be prevented in future,-Rich. Wing.

Catching is not Keeping ''Here's to the
blessed memory of Redmond O'Hanlon," cried
Titus draining bumper, "And as to the story
did you ever hear mention made of one Captain
Power2 He was another brave boy, and quite
the gentleman. Nicely he turned the tables on
an ensign of musqueteers, that came out from
Cork to seize him. You shall hear how it hap
pened.
"This ensign had received intelligence that
Power had taken up his quarters at a small inn,
on the road leading from Kiworth, and being
anxious to finger the reward offered for his APP
prehension, set off with file of men. II was
growing dusk when they reached the inn, and
there, sure enough was Power drinking, for they
saw him through window with his bottle be-
fore him, lighting his pipe, quite comfortable.
'Ha, ha,' thinks the ensign, my boy, | have you
safe enough now, but knowing his man, and ex-
pecting devil of resistance, if he attempted
to lay hands on the captain by force, he determi
ned to resort to stratagem; so entering the house
just as if he were on a recruiting party, he (the
ensign) calls loud for whiskey for his men and
bottle of port for himself and marches into
the room where Power was sitting, who got up
to receive him very politely Now, whether
the captain suspected his intentions or not
can't say: at all events, he didn't let the ensign
perceive it; but took up his wine as pleasantly
as we are doing now, with no suspicion of any
mischief brewing"
Exactly" said Jack; 81 understand"
swell, the bottle was drawing to close, and
Power rose up TO call for another, when the en-
sign, thinking II time, starts TO his feet, presents
pistol TO his head, and commands him to sur
render. With all the pleasure in life replied
the captain, that is, when you can take me; an d
knocking up the ensigns arm, so that he could
not even pull bis trigger, he threw himself upon
him, ehectually preventing his crying out, by
stuffing his coat pocket into his mouth; he then
very coolly proceeded to divest the ensign Of his
grand uniform, and taking his purse and sword,
and military cloak, tied him hand and foot, and
telling him he hoped he was satisfied with his
rerdrd, walked out Of the room, locking the
door on the other side unconcernediy after him,
and putting the key in his pocket. The men
who were busy with their whiskey today, seeing
their officer, as they thought, come out and mo-
ton them TO keep still, never stirred peg-but
suffered Power to get clear away, without so
much as Observation-Disclosures
