We learn that one of the Volunteers who left this
County decided Wing, was asked, soon after he
arrived, if he wasa Taylor man. He replied that he
was not; and when asked for his reasons he said he
would not vote for Gen. Taylor, because he did not
think him competent. This Volunteer we know to
be man of information and intelligence. The North
Carolina Volunteers were assigned to Gen. Taylor's
command, and the mon therefore had every opportu-
nifty to see General Taylor and to form their opinions
as to his fitness for the Office of President From all
We can learn, we do not belive that more than one
out of five of the North Carolina Volunteers will vote
for Gen. Taylor. a1 '7ar' -s< f..-9.a; F.. t.nef IL

The Union thus notices this vote of the Senate:
ssWe have the satisfaction to announce that the SEN
ate have just passed the Oregon bill of the House,
with most important amendment, proposed by Mr..
Douglas of Illinois. That amendment adopts the
Missouri line of compromise, viz, 36 degrees 80 min
utes of north atitude it out the Pacific ocean,
and applies to all the territories of the United States
The amendment was adopted by the vote which our
reporter has stated in his summary and the bH thus
amended, was passed by vote of 33 to 22-I1 ma
jority. We have time, in the hurry of going to
PRESS to get all the ayes and noes They will appear

it, f we know our own heart, not for the sake of
party; not account of any particular sectionof
country, but rejoice it account of our whole
country, because it preserves her tranquility, and
saves the Union itself froma danger and distraction
This is the second form of compromise which the
Senate has nobly rendered. by strong majority, and
not by party or by sectional vote. We will not

WASHINGTON'S MARRIAGE IN
1853,

We learn that Mr.. J. B. Stearns, a dis
,inguished arts, of New York, and lately
from Europe. has been for some days at
Arlington House, in this vicinity, engaged
in making very beautiful and successful
copies from the original pictures of Col.
and Mrs. Washington, the one Of the date
Of l772. by Peale, and The other of 1869,
by Woolastob, with a view TO the paint
ing of large picture of Washington's
marriage, founded upon the relation of the
interesting event in the Gusts recollection,
and private memoirs Of the life and char.
acter of Washington.
The scene is laid In the ancient parish
church of ST. Peter, county of New Kent,
a colony of Virginia, time 9th Of January,
1859.
In the foreground, and near the altar,
appears the Rev. DR.. Mossom, the officia.
ting clergyman. in full canonicals; he is
about TO present the marrioge-ring. The
bridegroom is in suit of blue and silver
lined with red silk, embroidered waistcoat
small-clo.hes, gold shoe and nee-buckles,
dress sword, hair in full powder. The
bride in a suit Of white satin, rich point
lace ruffles, pearl ornaments in her hair,
pearl necklace, earrings and bracelets,
white satin high healed shoes, with diamond

brilliant group, comprising the vice.regal
Governor of Virginia, several English ar

airy of the old regime. The Governor is
in suit of scarlet, embroidered with gold
