t3-The Rockingham Register, in noticing the
list of candidates for the Legislature in Augusta
says:
"'rhc defeat of Mr.. Clay has given the Wings
agood deal Of trouble. Had he succeeded, he
might have accommodated good many Of these
country-lovng, oiice-hating gentlemen with posts
OF honor and profit; but as MIR. Clay has no Off
ces to give his dear friends, they claim what few
posts OF honor and profit the Wing people have
TO gve.--There is TO be terrible scrambling> a
mongst Wing aspirants for the small favor Of go
ing to the Legislature"
The liberality Of these remarks is made most
conspicuous by the fact that in the same number
OF the Register there are four Democratic candi-
dates announced to represent the county of Rock
ingham in the next Legslature-precisely the
number we have here, and which the Register
considers so unreasonable as to feel called upon
to administer to US this most patriotic rebuke! If,
on its own principle, the defeatof Mr.. Clay has had
the effect Of increasing the number Of our cand-
dates. how does ithappen that Democratic Rocking
ham furnishes just as many "aspirants for the small
favor Of going to the Legislature" notwithstand-
ing all the advantages Of Federal patronage which
have accrued to its party from the election of
Mr. Polk! We would respectfully advise the
Register to take the beam out of its own eve,
before it attempts to remove the mote out of its
brothers eye.

JAMES RIVER AND KANAWHA COMPANY.
An adjourned meeting Of the Stockholders Of the
James River and Kanawha Company was held in
Richmond on the 18th, for the purpose of elec,ing
officers and the transaction Of other business.
VIM. M PEYroN, esq, on behalf Of the Proxy of
the Commonwealth, nominated the following
'icket:-Joseph c.. Cabell, President; Directors
john peterborough, Samuel McCorkle, Tho
mas NJ. Bondurant, John A. Lancaster, and Cor
bin Warwick~-the officers oflast year, with the
exception of Mr.. Warwick, substituted for Mr..
Caperton, who retires. The vote was 6Od1 for
the nomnees--against them, BAL. There APP
peared to be quite formidable opposition to the
President, Mr.. Cabell, few weeks ago; but we
suppose it has been disspaied by the favorable
report of the Joint Committee, appointed by the
Leg Stature, to examine into the management of
the affairs Of the company.

BIRTHDAY OF WASHINGTON.

/ The 22nd of February was celebrated by the
Stanton Lit. Infantry and tho Military Glass OF
the Siaanton Academy, by joint parade, and
an Grafton by one Of the members of the Glass
! Mr.. SAMUEL k. TAYLOR.
! The Grafton was quite creditable effori--ex
hibiting that exuberance of thought and fancy
which in the young is the sure token of summe,
OF fruit; and the Military display was one of the
handsomest which we have witnessed in
our streets. 1t was the first appearance of the
Military Glass since 1t has been fully armed and
equipped, and we were not less surprised than
gratihed at the truly soldierly carriage of the lit
tie fellows, and the regularity and precision oil
their movements. They were--without dspar-
agemen. to the Infantry, who have so long been
the pride and ornament of our town-''the obsery-
veterans in port, all eyes were fixed upon them
wherever they went. Their uniform is similar
to that of The Cadets at the State Institution at
Lexington-cheap and serviceable, and at the
same time neat and appropriate.
This new organization of the Academy, which
has now been in operation little over Ave
months, is found 10 be most advantageous to the
Pupils as well TO the interests of the insliiu-
tlon The military duties are only made to fill
up those portions of time which are usually spent
IN play, and their influence in improving the car
rage OF the pupils, and in infusing a manly spir.
it among them, as well as in aiding the discipline
of the school, is most conspcuous.-The num-
Der of pupils, we believe also is greater at this
time than it has been for years.
The Military Department is under the manage
ment of Mr.. JOHN l.. CAMPBELL, the Professor Of
Languages, who is graduate Of the Virginia
Military institute, and a gentleman every way
qualified for his duties.
