JEFFERSON srN,L. DISTRICT.

HIRAM l.. ORE, ESQ.,, OF Jefferson, was SELECT
ed by the Democratic Convention which assem-
bled at Winchester on Tuesday the LIST inst, as
their candidate for the State Senate. Inc us
trict is composed of the Counties Of freeerlck,
Jefferson and Clark, and the term OF service OF
their present able and faithful Representative
JoHN s GRLLAHER, Esq, expires with the pre-
sent session of the Legislature.
MIR. Opie possesses many of the characteristics
of the Virginia Gentleman of the Old School,
and accordingly enjoys the confidence and esteem
of Wing and Loco, among his acquaintance.
Whether his political information and experience
qualify him TO discharge the duties OF state
Senator more efficiently than their present rep
resentative has done, is question winch the Peo-
pie of the District will doubtless duly consider
ere they decide upon change

In senate.

February z, lS4S.
Mr.. r. M. T. HUNTER, OF Virginia, ad-
dressed the Senate.
He declared himself at the offsett, without
reserve, opposed to the policy of the admins
ration, and proceeded to depict in garing CO.
lors, the dangerous results which threatened
inevitably to attend that policy-resulls, which
could not otherwise than vitality affect the
dearest liberties and institutions Of our coun.
try. He advocated with warmth and earnest
ness the line OF policy recommended by Mr.
Calhoun, asserted it as his belief that il would
prove the best. and most direct means ofsecu-
ring an honorable peace.

which stated that licenses had been issued for
three gaming houses ia the city Of Mexico, at
the rate Of five bundled dollars month. A
most admirable device to improve The morals
of the Mexican people, He had always
thought that the Democratic patty had ever
been opposed 10 monopolies buI here they
were giving monopoly 10 Mexican gambling
shops, under pretence that it was TO levy con-
tributons FOR the support ofthe army
Having but minute left he would not at
tempt TO pursue the subject further, but take
occasion some other time 10 do so.

FROM THE RIO cnArDu.

The Picayune Of the 3Oth ult., learns
Of Lieut.. Hamilton, who left Gen. Woods
quarters on the 18th, that just before he
LETT an express was received from Saltillo
from Col. Hamtramck, in command of the
forces there, stating that report had
reached him from source entitled to cred
1t, that force of Mexicans, 10 900 strong,
under command of Gen. Bustamente, were
marching down upon Saltillo. The report
even particularize the points from whence
the troops had been raised, but SO frequent
are the stampedes upon that line, very lit
tie credit was attached to the report. Our
forces there were in good condition, and
perfectly willing to be attacked whenever
the enemy thought best to make the ex-
pertinent.
Upon the receipt of this news General
Wool had apprised the merchants at Mon
terey, Camargo, Matamoras, and other
posts, that he could afford them no protec-
ton in the way Of escorts. From another
source we learn that COL Carasco, a Mex
lean officer who has rendered himself rath-
er conspicuous, is at Monterey, proposing
to enter into negotiations with Gen. w COL
for pronunciamento against the existing
Government of Mexico and in favor of the
United States, on the part of the States of
Tamaulipas, Nueva Leon, and Coahuila.
He also proposes to bring in Gen. Canales,
that cowardly chief Of guerillas, who has
given us so much trouble upon the Rio
Grande. Col. Carasco has been for long
time residing in Matamoras with his fam
lily, and appears friendly to the Ameri-
cans. We know not what degree OF
credit to attach to this report.
