VIRGINIA INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB -
From the fourth annual report Of the visitors of this
invaluable institution, it appears to be in very
prosperous condition. far regards the progress
and weiire of its interesting inmates. But we re-
greet TO observe that the appropriation from the lite
rary fund is inadequate to effect the completion of
the buildings We trust that the touching appeal on
this subject in the report, will not be uttered in vain
IL is really astonishing TO mark the evidence pre-
sented in this document of the progress of the pupils
in the requirement of knowledge oflanguage, and
the arts. Their moral and intellectual natures are
evidently subjected to careful and patient culture,
and 1t is impossible to avoid desiring for this and all
kindred institutions the most enlarged measure of
support and success

A PREGNANT SIcN--THE NEW REPUBLICAN GENE
RAJ COMMITTEES. We understand from good aulho-
rlty that, in the recent election for the Tammany
Committee OF this city, the "young democracy
have entirely triunphed over the " old hunkers.'-
Full details will be given hereafter In almost eve
ry ward two tickets were In the 10th, 18th,
and other wards, the sold hunkers'' were defeated
by large majorites
This election is deeply important in the next Pre-
sidency. The old hunkers' are generally for Mr..
Van Buren,, and the restoration of the Bourbons TO
power-the "young democracy" are against Mr..
Van Burens restoration, alleging that two runs are
enough for any loater. The "young 'uns" are in ia
vor also of "one term" and are particularly hostile
TO reservations of defauers and broken down poll
tcians. Their list of candidates are Cass, Calhoun,
or Tyler--but not Van Buren,, by long shor.
Great fun is expected from this committee. Who
is to be charmans our friend E. F. Purdy, or Eli

Our readers were very much disappointed yester-
day. in not receiving the report of the debate in the
House of Representatives on Wednesday, in which
Mr. Arnold, the fire eater from Tennessee, made
great speech.
This disappointment was caused by the continual
mismanagement of the mails between Washington
and New York. Our reports of the debates in Con-
gress arc hfe-like, so graphic, so admirable, so
original and interesting, that the public feel most
intense disappointment, when they are deprived Of
them at their regular morning meal. These sketches

Lucrative assembly of the nation, than any Of the

and they will continue to do so, TO the end of the
