The story that has been circulated in reference
10 an aledged conversation between The Rev. Mr..
McCala and the President Of the United States
made little impression here. The President
would not have been impruden, enough 10 dis
close the fact, even il The Two Catholic chaplains
had been appointed as "spies." Further, no one
here believes that the Two holy la,hers referred 10
would have accepted an employment derogaioy
to their dignity. The explanation may be that
the President stated that The TWO gentlemen wee
appointed, with the view 10 their intelligence and
adaptation TO the station, and that Mr. McCalla
imagined that persons TO be SO useful and 50 much
confded III must be "spies," in The offensive sense
Of that term.

Messrs. Editors: A vacancy having occurred
in the King * Queen Senatorial District, by The
death OF The lamenled Carer M. Braston, Esp, IL
becomes necessary and proper Tor The Democra'
tic parry OF The district 10 look around them for
the purpose of selecting an individual 10 supply
the place filled by him with such distinguished
ability. In making the selection, We should have
no regard 10 location but should survey the
whole district, and designate therelfcm candi-
date who will unite The entire Democratic vote.
He should be a man Of unbending Democratic
principles, stern in his support Of the measures
Of the present administration, and consistent, IN
his political life. Such man is Col. BeDIa.
min F. Dabney, of The county OF King William;
and We take pleasure and pride in bringing him
before The district as The gifted son OF King VIII
liam. Descended from highly respectable an
cestors, ard born TO moderate pairimony, he has
literally been the architect Of his own fortunes
Called into political life al a very early age By
his lellcw-cilizens, he entered upon The discharge
of The dulles which they devolved upon him as
Democrat of The slraishles, sect and having dis.
charged The trusts coniided 10 him with unsur.
passed fidelity and ability, he voluntarily laid
Them down and retired again into The bosom OF

NOTES or TRAVEL.

Last week We made flying visit 10 Old
Point, AMI as chronicleTs Of events, il is our du'y
10 say one word OF an establishment, which has
rapidly risen into public favor. We were at Tie
OH Point Hotel when al lis height OF hunters,
AMI when hundreds came in from every ci-
e:,in upon wings OF steam, TO ENJOY the plea
surcs Of society or tie refleshment Of the salt
water bath and sca-breeze. We regret 10 STATE,
that much fault was found with the table, and 10
a certain extent not without cause-thoush il rs
bul lust 10 add, as alleged, that The sudden rush
OF so large a crowd gave no liule embarrassment
10 the managers, and The unusually cool and
stormy weather Tor few days checked The sup
ply OF fish and crabs upon which The cuisine
mainly depends. The day before We lett, how
ever. The dinner table was we'll furnished with he
treasures OF the deep, though the bread and but
Ter (lhe essentials Of good living) were deficient
in qualify. We also regret That The proprietor
had not procured a better band OF music the
great charm OF watering places, where there is
always 50 much idle time on ones hands. Hav-
ing thus, in spirit Of true friendship and JUS
,ice, referred 10 the drawbacks al Old Point, we
now turn 10 the lu1uIics and pleasures il affords.
Though we have grumbled little at The fare,
we are free 10 say, that We passed few very
pleasant days. The ball room and dining room,
Ii, up brilliantly with gas, are in the most
extended and commodious slyle-indced. tho
former is one OF the handsomest salons VIC
ever saw. The bath houses are greatly en-
l,r- nj init, q, patly
ling walters causes the blood 10 run with new life.
One grea, luxury is 10 be found in The fullest
abundance. We refer 10 The compact masses Of
crystal Boston ice, which is distributed without
stint, through the Bar (lov in excellent and mos,
expeditions hands, the dining room and The bed
chambers. We shall not trust ourselves 10 speak
OF the charming sails 10 The Rip Raps, Hampton,
&c; the moonlight. walks along The bauements
OF the noble Fort and The beach dashed blythe an
gry surf; the excursions 10 Norfolk, The monster
Pennsylvania and lhe Gospou Navy Yard and
Dry Dock, all full Of instruction and pleasure !;
nor Of the gay and happy scenes in The music and
bail room. All these present materials Tor ENJOY
mcnl, which make Old Point one OF The most
agreeable, as it is one Of The most accessible aud
convenient, watering places in Virginia. We
wish il prosperity, and for that reason hsse la
ken occasion 10 throw out few suggestions for
the consideration of the proprietor Let them be
carried out, and Old Point will continue to grow
in nubic favor. We were mol sorry 10 hear thar
i, is contemplated 10 erect new hotel hear the
Lighthouse. A lille competition canno! but be
OF service in giving new life 10 the place, in al
fording greater comfort TO The public, and attract
ing larger numbers, SUFFICIENT TO I'LL both eslab-
iishmenis.

We find the following strange item in The
Wheeling Times. What does it mean? Are
we to infer that The Wings intend 10 abandon all
their principles, "broken 10 pieces" as they are,
and mol rally again under "ano'hel" Wig pole ?
This looks like an emblematic admission Of lie
"disorganizalion" which We have more than once
referred TO:
"Thc Wing pole was Yesterday let down, and,
we regret 10 say, broken, as was expected, in three
or four pieces. Well, we hope there will never
be occasion for another one, especially as we
have learned thai The tallesl pole does noI always

The Wings must have but little confidence IN

was about 10 declare himself Taylor man.
Old FAC can carry great deal OF dead weiSnl
but Caleb Gushing would lest his strength. Inc
idea Of Caleb Gushing being on our SIDE, makes
us sick"
They recolect that Mr.. Cushing was whilome
member Of the famous "corporars guard OF
Capt Tyler, and they have the ghost OF Tyler
ism before lheir.eyes. They hear Mr.. Cushing,
moreover, spoken OF as The Democratic candidate
for Governor OF Massachusetts, and they cannot
see without "uneasness" the confidential rela-
ton between the Old Hero and "Caleb Gushing,
especially when the latter gentleman, IN his clo-
quent address TO Gen. Taylor on The 5h OF July,
had the frmness 10 do justice 10 his own govern
mcnt and 10 its policy in conducting The war; IN
The following passages, which are SO revolving 10
