The Wool Market. The Washington Pal
Reporter of Saturday says:


There is but little, il any, excitement in the
wool trade as yet, in this market. Some forty
thousand pounds have been brought in, al
prices ranging from % to So cts. per ID. up
10 the present there has been but little dlspo
siiion manifested among the buyers to take up
wool with eagerness even at the comparative
ly low prices offered while among the grow
ers the absence OF disposition TO sell has been
quite manifest. We think however, the ensu'
ing week will exhibit some animation in the
business. There is no probability of an Gd'
vance Of prices, and as most of our farmers de-
sign selling, the bulk of the clip will come into
market soon. The fleeces are lighter this sea-
son, than usual, while the texture and color Oh
the fleece is not so fair, caused no doubt BY
abe scarcity of water, combined with its bad
quality, which prevailed during the washing
season.

A Wild Woman.--The Caddo Gazette
gives an account of woman who has lived in
the woods near there for the last three months.
Her husband died in Mississippi, and she came
to her present whereabout on foot. She sleeps
IN the woods, yet no one knows where, as she
never makes her appearance during the div
The Gazette says she frequently comes to the
house of a Mr. Polk at a late hour of the night,
when they give her what she desires to cal.
and alter she has satisfied her appetite, she re.
tires again TO the woods. She manilests, we
are told, much fear Of being taken, particularly
by the sheriff. She came on one occasion TO
the house OF Mr. P. and carded and spun por-
ton of cotton thread to mend her clothes She

Sad Case. AT Berne, New York, a few
days ago, a little girl twelve years old, daugh-
ter of John Banner, was hung to death by a
school-house window falling on her neck. She
had forgotten new book in the school, and
fearing that some of the children would get
hold of and tear it, she returned, lifted win
dow, entered, got the book, and was making
her egress by the same means, when the win
dow fell upon her neck, and she persisted mis-
erably. All school-house windows, to prevent
the recurrence Of such disasters, should move
up and down with weights.

THE TERM WHIG-ITS REVIVAL.


Extract from speech delivered in the Senate
OF the United States in the year 1888, by John
e. Calhoun.
cannot but remark that the revival of the parfv
names Of The Rcroiufion, after they had so lons
siumOered, is not sUithout meaning-not without
an Indication of return to those principles
which lie at the foundation of our liberty.
Gentlemen ought TO reflect that the extensive
ana sudden revival Of these names (WHIG and
IOR1) could not be without some adeouate
cause. Names are not to be taken or given at
pleasure; there must be somcthing 10 cause their
Application to adhere. If remember rightly il

MOVEMENTS OF THE BRITISH.

we learn from good authority that the British
have new steam war ship of the largest size
laid up at Pentenguishine, about 200 miles from
Macklnac, with full crew in attendance, ready
to sail her at any moment. They have had but
one company there until recently. They now
have two full regiments of Highland Drapoons
and have enlarged and fortified moro strongly the
barracks at that place.
Until lately, the British have been in the habit
oil paying our Indians annuities. But our govern
ment protested against it and broke it up The
Indians had heretofore lived on Drummond's Is
land, American territory. But now they have
nearly all moved to Mantouline Islands, the pro-
perty oil Great Britain, where they are fed, cloth
60, and provided with arms and ammunition by
British officers.

Superintendent of the Western .4sylum.

Superintendent of the Western Asylum.
We observe that several nominations have
been made in the newspapers for the Office of
Superintendent and Physician of the Western
Asylum. in consequence of report which has
gone abroad that the present very worthy aud ac-
ceptable incumbent intended to resign. We
deem 1t proper therefore to state that although
DIR. STRIsLlNG had contemplated such step,
with view to a removal and location in the city
OF Richmond, he has been restrained from send
Ing In his resignation by the earnest importuni-
ties OF his personal friends and the friends of the
institution and that now he has happily aban-
doned all thought or intention of doing so. The
general solicitude which has been expressed by
citizens in different parts of the commonwealth
for his continuance at the Asylum, must be truly
gratifying to that officer, and has no doub, had
its influence in inducing him to reconsider his
determination.

THE OREGON QUESTION.

The London Economist, speaking of the ap.
pointment of the Hon. Louis McLane as Minister
to London, in place Of Mr.. Everett, says, sit will
be found, when the facts are clearly stated, thai
the discussion OF this affair at Washington has
reached point which renders it desirable to have
particular proposition submitted 10 the British
Government. and Mr.. McLane takes the mission
on this ground"
From the Liverpool Mercury, 9Th ut
We understand that Mr. McLane, the new
American Minister to the Court of ST. James,
who arrived in the Acadia, entertains confident
hope of bringing all the questions at issue between
Great Britain and America to an amicabe and
satisfactory termination. He spoke very cheer
fully on the subject to one of our first merchants,
shortly after his arrival. For the sake of human
iy, and for the best interests of the two countries
united by so many ties of blood, language, reli-
gIon, and Institutions, we hope that Mr.. McLane
may be right; but we have our fears. One thing,
however, is certain, and that is, that our self
styled "best practical statesme n" have, by their
bunglng and incapaciiy, imperilled all the best
interests of the nation, and gone far to render
Great Britain the laughing stock of the world.
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1845-09-04
From another Leftcr-same date.

"The True American had become so often
sive, that some of the citizens called on Mr.. G..
Nj. Clay to request him to discontinue its publ
cation. The reply was still more provoking,
and meeting was called to-day of the whole
county. Mr.. Clay again replied, promising to
change the character Of his paper in some res
poets. But the meeting, consisting of 500 or
1000 men, appointed committee of 60 to pack
up and send off TO Cincinnati the press, type,
&c. part is already off, and the remainder in
preparation to start in the morning. 1t is fortu-
nate that this interruption of the peace is about to
terminate without the loss of iife.''
We feel no sympathy for Mr.. Clay, member
of that family of fanatics, who, pernicious ever
to society and its peace, are more especially per-
nclous to. the cause which they undertake to
promote.

THE ACQUISITION OF LOUISIANA

The Paris Correspondent of the National In
telligencer, RoBERT WALSH, Esq, notices in his
last letter the fourth volume of TnEes' HISTORY
Of tie Consulate and the Empire, just published.
The following passage is quoted from il:
"When renewal of the war with ENGLAND
seemed no longer doubtful, all the colonIzino
dreams of the First Consul vanished His re-.
solution in respect to Louisiana was instantly
formed. | will not attempt to keep (said he to
one OF his Ministers) a province which would
not be secure In our hands, which, perhaps, would
embrOii me with the Americans, or create a cool
ness on their slde' On the contrary, will turn
il 10 account to attach them to me- to create
quarrel between them and the English, and |
will raise up for England enemies who will one
day revenge us, if we should not be able TO re-
venge ourselves. My resolution is settled. As
the Americans have no territory to give me in
exchange for Louisiana, will sell il 10 them for
a sum that may pay the expenses Of an extraor-
binary armament against Great Britain herself"
''Thus," adds the historian, ssdid the Amerj-
cans acquire from France that vast region which
has completed their sway over North America.
and rendered them masteB of the Gulf Of Mex
leo for the present and all the future. Tins.
they owe their birth and greatness as a nation to
the long struggle Of France against England
their independence, TO the first period of that
struggle, their territorial expansion TO the Sc
cond.'
Mr.. WALSH suggests that we should Ultimate
y have achieved our independence and possess
I'd ourselves Of Louisiana without French CO.
operation; yet adds, SHUT we should acknowl-
edge the benefit of earlier and more certain re-
s."-BaR. I'm,
