uGOING THE WHOLE HOG y

The newspapers have recently been contend
ing about the size Of pigs i'll the different
States of the Union but we have now in this
city specimen land not small one , from
Fairfax county, Virginia, whose owner challen-
ges the world He is said to have weighed four
months ago 1,45o lbs, but he appears to have
fallen off little, in consequence OF fatigue; and
its proprietor John Dulaney) says, upon the es-
innate OF a butcher; that ii he were i'll good con-
dition, he might now weigh near 1,S0o pounds.
He is 81 feet high, and of an immense length,
BREADTH and depth, 1t is cross upon the Berk-
shire breed. The incredulous may judge OF this
swinish monster for themselves by calling OH
Pennsylvania avenue opposite to the National
(Blackwel's) Hotel. Probably no wild Tuscan
it might have been far surpassed in ferocity.

MISS SPRING Is COMING
BY THEODORE A. GOULD.

BY THEODORE A. GOULD.
Miss Spring is coming
Again again!
With her cheering smiles Of mirth
With her warming sun,
And her genial rain,
With her flowers to strew
In the garden and plain;
And her warbling birds,
Whose joyous strain
Shall gladden. the grateful earth.
Mr.. Winter is going,
Hurra! hurra
What hateful old fellow is he!
There'll be many dry eyes
When he sees his last day
Why, he hasn't friend
That would like him to stay!
Ia! ha! We'll be glad
When he totters away
Good radiance, old Winter, say we.
Miss Spring is coming,
And well we know
She's a bright and laughing thing
And her balmy breath
Will melt the snow;
And the ice bound stream
In her glance will flow:
Ard the birds will sing,
And the bright flowers grow
Then a welcome to beautiful Spring!

Under this head the Piltsburg Morning Post has the
following remarks, apply alluding TO certain infamous
transactions in the history Of whgey II says:
We have disposition disparage the whg party any
further than by general denunclaon Of their measures
But when them in Congress voting for Thaddeus
Stevens for Speaker reminded of the "New Jersey
Broad Seal" the Glentworth and Bella Badger Frauds
the ''Buckshot War" and other eatages. which nearly
every wing leader mot the masses) In the country sane
toned We do not believe there is whg paper In this
State that the hardhood defend Stevens
a citizen politician Yes the wings of Lancas
elected him represent them In Congress- and thirty
forty congressman have voted TO put him into the Speak
er's chair $3.50
We look upon these facts hamilating. We have the
charity believe that the substantial and respectable lead
OF the administration party In this State are distressed
at the political iprpude which we have here pointed out
II is certainly very surprising that men who were guilty
Of perpeirang the Broad Seal" fraud, by which the
people OF New Jersey were be cheated Of their rights
the "Glentworh and Bella Badger pipe-aying frauds
by which the ballot box Of New York city was deauded
of its true voice; the Buckshot war;" by which the
people OF sovereign State were TO be cheated out Of
their elections and, last but not least the Taylor plot
by which the people of the Union were deceived into
the election Of whom they would now very readily
elect to retire from ofce-t is, repeat, very
prsing that the organs Of party guilty Of such in
famies should have the eonie pirate about the plots
Of Others even II there any truth in their alega
tons II would be surprising, il shame had not long ago
fed from the bosoms OF such But nothing which
the leaders Of the federal party may do can surprise
Their principle Of action is hypocrisy and humbug
They have evidently TO the conclusion that herea
ter our presidential elections to turn successful
cheating Of the people. We will see how long such
base game can be played.

Among the distinguished men who are now in this city
is Andrew Doneson, esq. late minister Of the Uniied
States to Germany. The mission discontinued and
the minister has been recalled Major Doneson is well
known every American for the important services which
he has rendered his country home and abroad He was
attached to Gen Jsckson's military staff when he subdued
the Creeks and advanced TO Pensacola; his private
secretary for the whole term OF his administration and
he was the able nsgostor who contaminated the snnex
alton of Texas to the United States. He returns from

and capable Of advancing the interests Of that country,
which so few understand better than himself He left
Frankfort and Berlin. accompanied BY the respect and
confidence Of the people 10 whom he accredited.
Of course, do not pay him this compliment upon his
own authority but upon the information Of gentleman
than whom no one is better acquainted with the German
character and no one better able appreciate the ser
vices which he has rendered to his country or the est
nation in which he was held) We learn from the same
quarter that Major Donelson has studied with great care
the commercial relations Of the United States with Ger
many; that he has collected large mass Of useful sta
tis,ics and that he was every way qualified 10 advance
our interests in that country. He will return in few
days to Tennessee, with his family
