Hon. Isaac Hill re.appeared among us last eve
ming. Has he been out TO the Hermitage on a
pleasure excursion! Mons prrons. Read out Of
the democratic ranks in New Hampshire, excom-
municated from the church for his detection 70
Tylerism, what hope had he but in direct and
personal coseting with Old Hickory. We cannot
imagine that Isaac has any other business in town.
No doubt Isaac has fixed it all straight with Old
Hickory.
A letter of two columns appeared in yesterdays
InteLigencer from an elected office holder, who
hnds himself on the lookout Tor employing nj in
PhlladelPhia. II 10 an unmanly complaint. From
the fact that the writer treats pretty eaborately
the culture OF turnips, who else he be but the
Hon. John S. Skinner, late an assistant P. M
General?
Il is said that Professor Morse has been electro
magnetsedby q beautiful daughter of Commits
sloner Ellsworth; and that a teegraphic communi-
cation has been established between the parties,
which is likely TO result in a copartnership. Is
Professor Morse bachelor or a widcwer.
That noble. old brave General Dodge, continues
among u.s. When he leaves, he carries his COM
mission as Governor Of Wisconsin with him, as
we Informed you some weeks. ago, in which event
General Tallmadge will have to enter into some
otner speculation than the improvement OF the Fox
and Wisconsin rivers.
We learn that Tennessean has been appointed
Collector OF the port OF Alexandria, ID. G., VICE
Brent, deceased. Too bad, too bad. Didn't Mr..
Radcliffe, OF Alexandra, go to great expense last

The wings are circulating a report in Virginia
that that State is TO have no more Offices, be-
cause she has more than twice her proportion al
ready. They quote from the tableslsf the Herald
and the GLOBE, to show that the administration has
decided upon such an equitable division Of the
"spois" among the States, as will cut of oldVrs-
MIA entirelv,and worse still make heavy deduction
from the Virsiaians now III office. And this report,
upon these data, is said to be working wonders,
against Gen. Thomas Haynes Bayley, in Wise's
district, and the apprehension OF his friends is that
he will be deteated-not upon this single issue, but
with it, in conjunction with others. There is GER
tainly injustice done TO Virginia. in making her the
scape-goat OF SO many office holders; for many of
them, whose nativity is Virginia, were appointed
as citizens of other States particularly Of the West
and South. Captain Polk and his cabinet are GER
tainy awaiting the Virginia elections.
The charter election of New York city has dis.
persed Mr.. Archer's hopes Of the Presidency, az
the native candidate, to the four winds of heaven
He is defunct as political native Aileghanian, and
as dead as one OF his own Virginia red herrinRs
How will Senator Bsgby explain away these
nine hundred dollars for imaginary travelling to his
constituents! The only way in which he can con-
sti'utlonaly. for Bagby Is great constitutional
and his vote the other-the only way in which
he safely clear his skirts Of those $500 tor ina
gnary travelling, is TO appropriate il tor the bent
OF common schools in Alabama. We have gotten
this honorable in a tight place. and he Will have TO
look sharp for the future.

gentleman Of reliance, informs us that at a late
consultation OF the President with the Secretary of
War, and Msjor Armstrong, Of Tennessee, he has
resolved that IN the controversy between the Ross

Anti Ross delegation now IN the city Ross and
his faction have controlled for some time the entire
