Trouble in the Camp. Mr.. Rives' late
'etter containing his avowed preference for
Mr.. Clay over Mr. Van Buren, for the pres,
idescy, has produced some sensation in the
political world. The Richmond Enquirer
and other papers Of the same stamp, are
dowa upon the "deserter" no, and heavyr Il
is reported that Gov. Gilmer IN. C. from
Va,) has made the same avowal, and rumor
says that others. who split off with Mr.
Tyler, and upon whose cooperation the
Locos certainly counted, are about to follow
suit. 1

SMALL Pox.-This disease has made its
appearance in The Capitol of this State, tc
the no email trepidation of the members o
tho Legislature. John D. Bod, Senator
from Attala, Leake, and Neshoba, died with
II after an illness Of eleven days. Two
other cases Of it are mentioned by the Mis-
sissippian (Mr Bynum Of the House of Rep.
resenfatives and q stranger) but the indi-
viduals are said to be out Of danger.
We arc also informed by gentleman
OF this county, just from below, that cases
Ut small pox exist in De Soto County. The
disease is liable to be spread through the
state, and would be prudent for those who
have not been fortified against its conta.

that matter.

AohI nlCHMOND, wednesday evening.
The examination of Polly Bodine was to have
been held to-day at the Court House at Richmond,
hut Commissioner Phelps being too i'll to leave his
room, il has been postponed to Monday next The
broker, to whom Waite offered the watch for $40,
was this day confronted with Waite, but the recog-
nitien was not sufficiently established In company
with the District Attorney paid visit to the room
where Polly Bodlne is confined. She did not ap-
pear at all pleased with the visit, and enquired If
such thing was customary. She was lying on
the bed and looked very teeble-no questions We're
asked nor was any thing said by her on the subject
Of the murder. She seemed to be properly cared
for, in every thing which Is necessary and condu-
Give to make her comfortable. The cell was
warmed by stove. The District Attorney. has
recovered the jewellery, the breach and earrings,
which Polly Bodlne had sold. Her statement III
this matter was correct but the eweller did not at
first remember any thing about them However,
on the District Attorney paying him second visit
he readily .complled with the demand. The
daughter of Polly Bodlne is in the city, tol
the purpose of aiding in the discovery of the re-
manning portion OF the stolen property. Waite
seems very much distressed and while being re
moved from his cell TO the room, for the purpose
confronting the broker, he was uneasy, and wished
to know what was the matter. His cell Is in thu
lower story, while that of Polly Bodlne is on the
second story.
Roderick N. Morrison, Esq, her counsel, ha
been to her to-day but of course all is silent il
that quarter. The sleghing was excellent, and {
very great quantity of floating ice has collected II
the Kills, through which the steamboat has t
crush her way. The examination having been de
terred until Monday next, little of any Importance
can ransplre here. Indeed, apprehend that MIR
Phelp s will not be able TO proceed with 1t on tina
day, and this will probably put it off for longe

cuped they beg, if not they carry off the first artl

From WashlnwtOn .

III our accounts from Washington last evening,
as WIN appear IN our correspondence, there will be
iouhd plenty OF speculations on the candidates for
lhe next Presidential contest, and we see that
Commodore Stewart is named Now we hapoen
to know better at distance about these matters
than they know at Washington. Commodore
Stewart is good man-and Captain TYLER NAV
be "a good man-but the people at Washington NAV
rest satisfied that Clay and Van Buren,, and only
they. will enter the race for the next Presidency
All speculations on other candidates are idle The
game is made up and it cannot be altered. The
contest will be between Clay and Van Buren,, anc
a tight and trying one it will be-that is certain.
