MARBLE MANTELs.

We have had the pleasure Of inspecting, at
Mr.. Fagans extensive Marble Yard in this
town, a mante Of rare beauty, recently furnish
ed by him. 1t is chiefly formed Of a new de-
scription OF marble, found in Augusta county,
II miles from Stauntou. This stone is transiu-
cent, tawny straw color, veiaed throughout,
and closely resembling agate. Being capable
Of polish fully equal 10 that of any marble
known, and far superior 10 most, its beauty in
a large mass may be conceived 1t is well wor-
thy Of an inspection from every one. The ele-
gance Of the material and the skill and taste
which have shaped ii, are objects of just pride
to those who like to look al home for something
to admire Wmckester Firginiaa,

lLT The Court organ appears to be little
uneasy for fear the Wing Office holders in the
basement story OF the Capitol will be swept by
the board by a Democratic Legislature, next
winter. If they are, they have no one to blame
but Zachary Washington, who came into power
professedly opposing prescription for opinions
sako-and yet, in six months of this no-party adj
mnisration more removals have been made than
during eight years of any preceding adiainistra-
tion if not from the foundation of the govern
ment. But in this we are told the second Wash
ngton is only equalizing the ofiices-it may be
SO; but it seems in some of the States he has G.
quilted all the Democrats out OF Office and pul
Wings in their places. With regard to the turn
ing out of the Wing of1ice-holders in the State,
we have heretofore given an opinion, and not
withstanding we have been abused by the organ
for our course on this subject, that ''dignifed',
sheet occasionally sees fit to quote our remarks,
and in the last number affected u compliment
whether pretended real, is to us; matter OF no
concern. And though we may differ with the
Democratic members Of the Legislature in regard
TO retaliation, the Wings will hardly have the ef-
frontery 10 say the Democrats have no pretext, if
indeed, they would not be entirely justified i'll
turning out every Wing ofIice-holder in the State
1t would be but carrying out the eqaali:ang pro-
cess in the State government which Gen. Taylor
and his Regency have carried out in the Federal
government. There are but few Democrats from
Virginia, now in office, under this no-party adj
Enthusiastically have been swept by the board;
and if there can be such thing as retaliation in
political warfare the Legislature might be JUST
fed in resortng to it for the reason assigned
that the Wings will raise a shout if the thing is
done everybody knows but as Gen. Taylor re-
marked on a recent occasion, s'H'ho Cores?"
