A man Of observing and acute intellect
said in the eighteenth century, of q Rus.
sian, then distinguished in Fra1ce-"Cut
open his vest, and you will feel his henri
velvet" The Sarcasm is less true Mt the
present day than under Louis XIV: Int II
has not lost al It's point. Notwithstanding
the elegance and polish Of manners cxis.
ting in Russian society, it hides in its boz

i|Iization rather wells than ~cflces. Tbig
appears in the domestic relations; and
especially in the tic Of marr.age-yyitb
which convenience has more to do than
affection. Ambition, and the passion for
play are the chief moving causes amoog
the nobIcaye o. st. Petcrsbureh. When
here and there, from the trcachcrous sur.

a general excitement in the capital. The
fearful and unexpected dcnoucrnen--tle
mystery surrounding one Of the persons

contributed to invest the story with re-
markablc interest.

went nigh to eclipse them all. One Of The
maids Of honor to the Empress, a yeuae

set-her dark, expressive eyes, yelled by
their long lashes, and shooting forth the
most bewitching glances ever and anon
filed all who looked ather with admiration.
She had a native and engaging manner
an arch s~oitness, a piquant variety, in a

her charms irresistible, and gave her the
superiority over the d~iyinities that had

GENERAL SCOTT.

The House of Representatives on Thursday
last. adopted resolution limiting the number
of Major Generals, at the close Of the Mexican
War, to one and giving the President the priv
ilege of selecting the one to be retained. We
do not wish "to kick before we are spurred,"
but it does seem to us, that this is blow aim
ed at Gen. ScoTT. The Senate have not yet
acted on the resolution of the House, and we
think the majority Of that body will not pass
it. Yes, we "look to the Senate" with conf
dence, to kill in the bud all such disgraceful
attempts 10 tarnish the fame of one of the most
gallant Generals belonging to the history Of the
United States. We can tell our opponents
one thing, that when they succeed in driving
the glories of Chippewa, and the spendors OF
Lundy's Lane from the minds and hearts OF
the Amencan people, thsn they can strike
down their gallant hero-but not until then
AS well might they attempt to destroy the glo-
ries Of Lexington, and Bunker Hill, and Tren-
ton, and the fame of Washington. Away
with such unworthy conduct We know moi
that Gen. ScorT will be a candidate for the
next Presidency, Che is certainly not our frs
choice, but if he is the people will show the

Houses Of Congress on the 10Th proximo, af-

Mexico, and also the correspondence between
the Department and Gen. CANES, in reference

A VISIT TO JEFFERS0N-MEET-
ING OF UNDERSTANDING
TONS HOTEL.

We had the pleasure last week of making
visit to the neighboring County of Jefferson,
and were truly sorry to find that the late heavy
wind and rain storms had done very conside-
rabe damage to the growing crops. We hope
however that the injury will not prove as Sc
rious as at first anticipated, and that much OF
the grain now Frustrated may get up again
and fill well before harvest. We have never
seen such crops belore--we will venture to say,
that if no serious injury be done to the Wheat
now, OF between this and harvest time, there
will be a greater yield tais year in the Valley,
than has ever before been known.
We had the pleasure while in Charestown
Of meeting with several of Our Editorial Breth-
remand for the first time with JONI c. Boy
Err, Esq, Editor of the "WNcHEsTER VIR-
GlSIAN," whom we found TO be an intelligent,
sensible and agreeable gentleman, and who,
though a firm Democrat. yet liberal in his
views and sentiments towards his opponents.
We took occasion to remind HIM Of that lex
TRAP which he didn't send us containing the
destruction of the "LoEG WALL" for which
"short coming" he excused himself by telling
us that he shouted before he was out Of the
"Woops." But he contemplates visit to
cold Berkeley" before long, and we promise
him a welcome reception.
BY lle way, we understand the Shannon
dale Springs" are now ready for company,
and we would just say 10 all journeying that
way--do not forget ''Sappington's Hotel" in
Charlestown, if you are in search ola comfor-
table and agreeable ''rcsting place" You will
find an abundant table-agreeable company
neat rooms and ''the luxury" of most excel
len, beds.--And last, though not least, one of
the most agreeable and gsntlemanly landlords
in Virginia. Reader, do you know GEORGE

EDITORIAL CHANGES.

Mr.. ROBERT II. GALLAHER has sold out his
interest in the "RIeHMoTD WHIG," TO THoM-
As M. BoNpuRANT, Esq, and has purchased the
"RIcHMosD REPUBLICAN," the paper estab-

Esq, Just before his death. Mr.. G. has asso-
ciasd with him in the Editorial conduct of the

late Editor of the "LExINeroS GAZETTE. y
MIR. b. had charge of the Editorial department
of the "RIcHMoND VINO" for a few months
last winter, and won for himself, reputation
which will at once give character to the GRE

OF the ablest Editors OF his age in this country,
we should be pleased to see his paper freely
circulated in our community.
RICHARD ii. ToLER, Esq, has obtained an
interest IN the "RIcHMoND WmG," which
will hereafter be conducted under the firm OF
1'oLER, ELLIOTT s Co. Mr.. ToLER is an
able and experienced Editor.
The "RIcHMoNp TINES" is conducted by
CARRINGToN, CowARDIN s DAVIS with great
ability, industry and independence. Weshould
Judge from its appearance that ii is highly ap-
preciated and fully patronized. 1t is justly en-
titled to the first class of Wing Journals in this
Country.
The Wings Of Richmond should be proud
of their Press--where is another City Gifts size
with three such journals as the Wing, Times
and Republican, Is itany wonder that Rich
mond is Wing City? Brethren we wish
you long and pleasant life and an abundance
of prosperity in every respect.

TIE COURT JOURNAL vs.. THE
WINGS.

General RICHIE is so full "ef glory that
one would think, if his. American game' was
NOT known, that he was perfect .9mpudia that
is TO Judge him by his swelling and lofty Ed-
torials. In the last "Union" we find an art
Gle under the caption of "PRosEcUnoY OF THE
WAR :" but we cannot discover that il prose
cutes the war much, unless JAMES X. Polk is
the war on one side and the Wings on the 9th
er For instance the Wings get this paper
bullet shot "right smack into the "tender
place." and if they dom, knock under without
'another fire. then we shall conclude that
they are profoundly ignorant sure enough.
The General says :" the Wing opposition
who are in the habit Of revihng JAMES X.
PoLK, and of ridicsling him for the alledged
'sebeness Of his administration, are profound
" ignorant of his character. But we did not
assume the pen in order to praise him. His
enemies. who are not vet turned from their
be compelled 10 appreciate his character and
10 confess their injustice" This viii do
we are sure there is no Wing in the country
profoundly ingnorant' enough to believe
that General RICHIE "could assume the
pen to praise Mr.. PoLK"!l Oh. no; such
an idea would be reflection upon 'EGeca-
tire patronage" and prick the conscience z y
of every oiIice-holder in the land We see
many things TO applaud in the administration
of MIR PoLK-meny TO condemn; but five are
10 be turned from ''the errors" of our way, we
must see something more than "the transac-
tons of the last year" Whata pity tits, that
tho Wings are so profoundly ignorant."-
Deal tendery and mercifuly, General, 1t Is
our miyort,me--not our fdth.
