OF late, many reports have appeared in the public
prints tending to peoples minds against send
mand of Commodore Dekay setting forth obiec-
ton that he would receive freight from the British GO
vernment, for provisions carried out by him, to the
starving poor Of Ireland and Scotland.
Such is not the case, nor is it money making bust
ness as some persons would intimate; neither does
Commodore Dekay ask. or receive penny for his
services to defray the expenses Of his SHIP
what he expends from his income. Certainly it is
difficult for narrow and iberal minds to appreciate
much feeling and generosity in othersnor strange s
that matter of such surprise should exist since in this
others would think, and act, by themselves

from day daybut for which opposition her GRAND Of

Tur Election IN VIRaINIA-THE NEXT Con-
eRrss.-By the latest returns from Virginia we
learn that the people of that State have elected
five or six wing and nine democratic members
of the next House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States-whlch is clear gain Of four or five
members for the wings. This result was totally
unlocked for and unexpected by both parties
In article which Father Richie wrote
short time since, on the probable complexion of
the next House of Representatives, he estimated
that Virginia would send twelve democrats and
three wings, and that the next House would,
be democratic. Owing, however, to the cleo
ton of five or six wings, and the loss of
the democrat in Connecticut, the House will be
whig; 1t will be so, according to Father
Ritchie's own statement if in no other
way IF there be further loss of two me m
bers of the estimate of the Union, the wings will
have a majority in the House. Still the demo-
Gratis may gain in the States yet to elect; but
the prospect is almost as blue as indigo.
The wing organs will doubtless construe their
gain in Virginia to a condemnation by the people
of the policy of the administration in regard to
the war. Such, however, is not the case The
war has nothing to do with it, unless it be General
Taylor's victories. They have their effect, and
most powerful one it is too. He is recognized
by the great body of the wings as their candidate
for the next Presidency and the wing gain
in Virg mia is only premonitory of the una
nimity with which he would be voted for by
all parties, in case he be nominated and consent
to run. The policy pursued by the administra-
ton in conducting the war, is approved by the
people generally, and would probably have Sc
cured nearly the whole of the Virginia delega-
ton, but for the movement of the wings in TAX
ing up Old Rough and Ready for the presidency.
1t will now be curious to watch the progress of
events in those States where elections are to be
held in August, September, October, and Novem-
