holders, &C., &c.
| The extraordinary manifestation of democratic
patriotism by the venerable editor of the Union,
for many years past has not failed, as it should
not, to attract general attention throughout the
republic, and to call forth much wonder and
praise. That this lively patriotism has not been
OF the most elevated and dislntercstcd kind, will
by no means undertake to affirm. Assuming that
it was so, how gratifying must it be to all true
lovers of their country to learn that if republics
are, a general rule, ungrateful, there are In
stances that prove The rule not to be without ex-
ccptlons; and that our own beloved republic has,
In Mr. Riches case, not been unmindfuI of tina
great debt of gratitude she owed him. THIS APP
pears in the following facts:--
OF the 300 clerks and other officers located at
this place, 1t has been ascertalned that ninety
eight are from Virginia. That of the ninety-eght
virginians in office here, all but seven or eight are
from Eastern Virginia; and it is believed that
nine-tenths Of those in office from Eastern Vir-
ginia are, IN some way, connected with the
Richie family, if not directly members of it.
Now, without taking into account The very COM
Portable little sum Mr.. Richie has received as
public prlnter,and organls to the late Polk admin
istraton--say one or two hundred thousand dol
ars-here Is evidence enough, in my humble
Judgment, TO prove, that, however patriotic Mr. r..
may have been, and however important the SER
vices rendered by him, in the course of long and
stirring life, our country cannot be Justly charged
with ingratiiude towards him.

dent Consul at 81. Jago de Characteristics, 8e.
Quite an excitement has been created in the
city by the announcement that malignant dis
ease has made its appearance at the Aims House.
On inquiry find that some fifty or sixty negroes,
who have been recently removed from ,h";- n.n:
OF filth in the city, and sent by the Board of Health
to the Aims House in diseased condition. have
MI t,k.r ~''"'ar fever, and that within ten davs
no less than thirty of them have died. ii is seme-
thing of the typhoid character though it seems to
be much more malignant and fatal. 1t does not
seem to be contagious to white persons, as the
cases so far have been exclusively black, and con-
fined altogether to the parties recently removed
from the city.

The official announcement fthe appointment of
the Rev. Thomas Sewell, of the Baltimore Metho-

he has labored in his vocation for a number of
years. Mr.. Sewell has been residing nearly year

been much improved. This appointment will be
most acceptable to him, and has been obtained by
his friends, without any solicitation on his part.
