STRANGE.

Our neightors of the Journal have
been SO busily engaged for the last few
weeks in the discussion Of foreign az
fairs, the Judiciary, State Convention,
& etc, that they have forgotten entirely
10 mention the result of the Virginia E.
leetions. For their edifcation we sum
up the Congressional delegation as fol-
low.:-Whigs Is, minus IA. A Pitts
burg whig editor says this result has
been brought abou: by extensive fires
which have recently prevailed in Va.
Richie, of the Union, says ,ha, they
Rave had whirlwinds there. We sus-
pect that the magnificent humbug, called
Texas. has swept over the old Domin-
ion.

L The time for tho selection o,
delegates to the State convention i,
drawing near-we wish to see the peo-
pie alive 10 the importance of the cleo
'i"n. They are not to elect men TO an
ordinary session of the legislature to
enact laws that may be repealed the ses-
sion after; but to a convention that is to
alter materially the organic law Of the
State, upon which all our future legisla-
ton is to be based. We wish them TO
be sure that they select men of integ.
rity, Of correct principles, and of .ufi-
ability to maintain those principles
against any opposition which may be
to bear upon them.

HOW LONG SHALL 1T LAST?

The Sheriff of Schuyler county in,
this State was arrested a few days since
by the Sheriff Of Van Buren, county,
Iowa. This difficulty originated in the
attempt Of the Sheriff Of the latter
county TO exercise his official func-
tons in Schuyler county, when he
was arrested by Mr.. Riggs, the Missou-
ri shsrif-he escaped and brought with
him E writ spon which Mr.. Riggs was
arrested and thrown into jail in Iowa.
About the merits OF this controversy
we know nothing; but this we do know,
that it is high time this dispute
was brought to a close, else serious con
sequences may result.

FROM the DoSton StateSMan.
! The Great Race on Long Island
between Peytona and Fashion, III,
excitement of which has been dis
tinctly perceptible in Cur city fol
several days, terminated in favor O
Peytona, the southern horse. The
concourse of spectators was i'm.
mense. 1t was a splendid race; We
have had nothing equal to it since
the days Of Eclipse.
First heat-Won by Peytona By
two lengths, in I'm. SO 3-4s.
Second hsat-Won by Peytona,
By one length, in I'm. A. IS.
OF course the third heat was not
run. The track was heavy with dust.
and all the accounts agree that, tho
the time was extraordinary, Peytona
beat with ease, and is capable Of do
ing still more, if necessary. Fashion.
though teaten, retains her honor and
her admirers. She is eight years old,
and was rode by Jos. Laird, carry
ing 1913 pounds weight. Peyiona is
six years old, was rode by Barney,
IF. c. Palmer carrying Ils pounds
weight. The amonnt OF money which
changed hands is very large, proha-
bly, TWO or three hundred thousand
dollars, and the southerns rejoice, for
substantial reasons, in the speed Of
their young and unrivalled mare.
Never, says the Courier and En-.
quiIer, was there witnessed on any
course, so beautiful 4 race. During
the whole eigh, miles run. the nacs
were tapping each other, With the eI-
ception Of about a quAr,eu OF a milo.
They might literally have been coy

must be admitted, was entirely ow ing

and bottom, and felt that he had it all
his own way.
