The Wh:g JOllificatiOn.

The wings of this place on Monday evening
last, rolled out the AnvI ArtilIery and fired
grand salute in honor Of the election of Gen. Tay-
lor. But Monday was small affair-a mere eau
ton warning to disconsolate Locos that their
requiem must soon follow. Tuesday night the
time fixed upon for .he grand jubilee when the
whig fires were to light up the political horizon,
and show eff the degenerate democracy in its
most in;orminabIe darkness. And on Tuesla V,
sure enough, at the last cleaning Of day, the
lights insiantoncously burst forth from every whig
house in town, and shined out with The brightness
of day. But, among all this sparkling of light,
there was hero and there a house over which still
fingered the mantle Of darkness, indicating that,
the occupants had not yet received the new light
mat has so recently opend to the world, lighting
the path and pointing the way to the political mil
lenium. This, however, only served to heighten
the magnifcenco of the scene, and present the
whole with variegated huos.
After the candles, loco foco matches, and other
small umnaries that exhibited their lesser lights
from windows, DOORS etc., had been fully display
ed, then, TO crown the whole in the way Of lights,
tar barrels, and other co.nDustble material were
kindled CT the bank of the river, near Scott White
q Co.'S, which, when fairly alighted, the vivid
blaze rose with beauty and grandeur, and beneath
lis intense glare all other lights dwindled into
comparative darkness. And after the bonfires,
lamps, candles, transparencies, and all other fire.
works intended for the occasion, were set in full
blast the crowd who had gathered around Scott
and Whites corner called for Jesse Turner, Esq.
Mr. Turner came out amidst the deafening ap-
half an hour in his hapPiest strain. And after
he had concluded E. B. Bishop, Esq, was called
for, who mounted the grind-sones and made a
very pretty whig speech.
When the speeches and all othor parts of the
performance were concluded, we come in for our
share Of the spoIs. By the polite invitation O!
Col. Dreanen number of Us called at his house
and were treated to an abundance of the finest
egg-nog ever tasted. The crowd then visited
Mechors, where a sumptuous supper was served
up in the incest style, no one knows better than
our friend Mechor how TO do up these things
! The evening passed off in the most agreeable
manner 10 the wings, and nothing took place tt
mar the feelings of any person. So, gentle
men wings we have seen your sights and partooh
of your hospitality for which we return you ou
poiest bow. We are now off for SaLt-yicey OF
the first craft that leaves these diggiGs for that sa
Iubrious port from which point expect to lool
back with composuge at the convulsive throes anc
dying agonies Of the dscordaut clements of whig

The RUINS OF ANCIENT NINEvAu.-That wick
ed city which poor Jonah preached to SO reluct-
anti y--aro now being explored by an English
antiquarian named Lnyard. The city once ''three
days journey" IN extent, was located on tho east
bank OF the Tigris, twenty miles below Mosu,
and MIR. Layard finds that "the buildings were
provided with complete system of sewerage,
each room having had drain with main sewer.'
The buildings are found TO have been made of sun
dried bricks, the rooms lined With slabs of marble
covered with bas reliets. The earliest buildings,
constructed probably twelve hundred years before
Christ, were buried, and tho earth which had ac-
upon them was used as a cemetery
seven hundred years before Christ.
