The Wing press boosted OF the hunters who al
tended their llte Wing Convention. They estimated
them at near 500. We have locked over The muster
roll in the Richmond Wing, aud we must confess,
that It was a many-headed multitude; but not qutc
SO large as appears on the face Of it, Extend the
same rule to them as We applied to Conveu-
ton, and count them only per capita, striking out
the aernates, where they appeared in their original
capacity and striking out the duplicates, duplicates,
quadruplcates, &c we find them to be about 670-ot

nfcen number of 8? hough two of her delegates
put down as IN attendance who absent from the
city, Hanover contributes 4S, Henrico 80, Essex 30,
Powhaan %, Lonisa 90, and Petersburg 81, (of these

why this magnificent host? The talents of their orators

The "Petcrsbarg MtAigencer' has devoted nearly
one of its columns 10 The Loco Fcco Address and
attempts 10 dccry lis merits and lis beauties. This
ey,eced of conrse both from lhe Petersburg aelii-
rencer and tie Richmond Wing. Bat what DO they
saw of their own atored and clumsy address; 81 do
not ike The principles Of the Democratic Address ct all
bot as a composition and Stale paper, how superior
is il I, the WING Address - Sach the honest re-
mark of Wing, the other day, in speaking of the
Temporary productions No man, who has had peep
behind the curtain of the Wing Convenlion-who saw
their Committee fling down the original draft of their
ADDRESS, Looping of whole members, trying in vain 10
click the bear into shape, smoothing it over well as
they could aud viii contemplate it in its shape
out must feel sympathy for the cc-aboraloTs II
vii not be surprised a. the presen, imperfsc,ions and
the clumsy character OF this extraordinary address.
But it IS oct purpose 1t this time 10 crilicise its
sly lie or its sentiments much less to defend the Demo-
crate Address from the 6berai attacks Of the Peters
burg lnlelitcenccr On one point only, which IS con-
nec:ed with ourselves we beg leave 20 submit passing
remark The Editors notice OF some observations we
made on the dstrbuiionof the proceeds of the public
lands in 1852 is say the lcas, OF II, rather at, stale,
and unprof,a6ie" This whole matter cleared up
three wears ago And 1t is remarkable how fortunate
the Petersburg ln;ellgencer has been IN supptessng
every portion of article OF 1872, which was cacn-
latad 10 place opinions IN their true light He
has mut;la,ed, and garbed article with ven.
oaonce: Isl, fIe omts altogether the important fact,
that. at that period, the Public Treasury was over
flowing with funds, and that the difficulty then was not
how to raise the money but how 10 get clear OF It, Voc,
however, the difficulty is the other way. The Trea-
sary is empty and instead Of having any surplus, 1t is
compeIed 10 supply the vacuum q. distribution by IN
augmentation of the Tariff But, in tie second place,
the Petersburg nieligencer suppTesses all that portion
of our article which protests against any distribution,
until the Constitution amended, to justify
the exercise of such power.
But even if we did err in 1882, will the Intel
lpencer be pleased to justify lis own course =
win it be pleased TO tell Us, how, in 1s4l, il
went against distribution, so long as the Trea-
sury is embarrassed now, it holds distribution 10
be one of the articles of its faith-Again-it went
against any Tariff, except for revenue and now it
pocs for Protective Tariff, and chucklss, with its
Wbig Convention, the Tariff Of ls42, as the
"princlpal fruit Of the Wing victory of $40"

Sw,-ln reading The Friend of Sept. 4th,
filled with Mr.. Wyllie's statistical re-

well known by every person at all acquaint-

Zoos wharf far excels any other in this

bring Egytian positive annals, derived from
writings on existing monuments, the chro-
nology of the Hebrew version of the BIZ
BILE, is in the opinion of the learned altogeth-
er exploded" - Hddon.
Among SO Christian authorities that have
computed the nativity Of our Savior, the year
itself is a disputed point and cannot be defn-
ed wthin 10 gears. There are 10 dates for
Solomon's temple, the longest B. G.. 741-
the shortest 479-a difference of 262 years.
Examples might be indefinitely multiplied,
but enough have been adduced to show that
the present chronology Of the Bible, though
sanctioned by an act of Parliament cannot
"be followed with safety and confidence"
SO far as it is erroneous, it is the ~misiudge-
ment Of Usher, and has no connection what
ever with the Divine origin of the Holy Book.
These facts may be ''hard sayings to Mr..
c. but if he requires more proof we are pre-
pared to produce it, although it is not our in
1t may interest him to know that the painted
portrait of Rhamscs the III, the supposed
Pharaoh Of the Exodus-still exists. Hay-
ing seen Il fac smile of it taken from the
Temple Of Aboosimbcl in Nubia. we can
vouch for his having been an uncommonly
hondsOmc man, possessing all the beauty of
features of the beau-idcal of Grccian art
This painting represents him as seated in his
chariot, perhaps the very one in which he
pursued the lsraelites. He assembled the
throne b. G. 1865 and rcigned &C years.
As Moses in his accounts of the overthrow
ofthe Egyptian army, does not alludc to the
death of Pharaoh, and Egyptian History is
silent upon it, we presume, this king quietly
occupied the throne and died a natural death.
Hundreds of his busts still exist.
If Mr.. c. is still of the opinion that Egyp,
fourishcd as a kingdom but one century be.
fore the invasion of the Hykshos, and tina,
the flood occurred but 254 years before tina,
event, w ask him to account for the grea,
population of Egypt, which long before the
Hykshos, built Thebes, Memphis and othcl
great cities the pyramids, on but one o
which 100, 600 Iaborers were employed al
once and the stones brought from a distanc,
of 600 miles up the Nile. BY no human
means could the world have been so densel,
populated and such stupendous structures
erected in so short a peiod. In addition tc
this physical impossibility-if Usher is allow.
ed to be good authority, Abraham died 3;
years before Shem, was contemporary with
Noah for half a century, and with Shem du'
ring his whole life. Isaac must have beer
born only ~ years after the death of Noah
and contemporary with Shem 10 years. Now
the Bible hints not at the slightest inter.
course between the father Of the faithful ant
the venerable anti-dcluvians. Terah the ia,
Their of Abraham, must nave become an idol
alter under their very eyes despite the awlu
judgement which had just happened. Me
thuselah was alive in the year of the flood
and if he did not die the self same year he il
made to be drowned by an act of Parlia
ment.
