The Reiection OF Webb.

The Washington correspondent of the U. s.
Gazette, speaks thus of the rejection of the
nomination Of Webb. The rejection was
made principally on the ground, that hestarted
on his mission before his nomination could be
presented to the Senate. By peculiar affairs
Of private nature, he was compelled to leave
when he did. But the real influence which
brought about his rejection, was the fact,
that Webb was one of the first editors to run
up the name of Gen. Taylor for the Presiden-
cy, and was one of the warmest supports that
candidate had. He did much to secure Tay-
lor's nomination, and much to secure his cleo
ton. Democracy never could forgive him
for this. They feel too bitterly the stings of
defeat and more especially the loss Of offices,
to lose an epportuny for injuring one of the
strong causes of their present unenviable po-
sition. Mr.. Webb was fully competent for
the mission, and privately, as we know from
personal acquaintance, has more of the man
about him than three-fourths of those who
assisted in his rejection:
The Senate went into Executive session
ted by decisive majority. The rabd thirst
OF the partisans who pursued this nomination
with sort of bloodhound scent has at length
been gratifed by the defeat Of one who is
vastly superior in every quality of head and
heart, to more than half Of the drilled majority
which sought this method Of reekng political
vengeance. To Gen. Cas- belongs the pecu-
liar merit of accomplishing this rejection
He arraigned Col. Webb before the public
bar on a false issue, and adopted a most I'M
worthy pretext OF opposition, TO enable him to
fulfil the exactions OF party. The discussion
on the nomination was limited to a few Sena-
tors, foc the rejection was forgone conclu-
sion, which no argument or array of facts
from the Wing side could modify, and which
required no persuasion from the leaders ofthe
other to enforce. Every Locofoco came to
the work willingly, and even MIR. Benton,
who sustained the appointment in committee,
surrendered when the screw was applied
1t is due to the absent Minister, to say. that
no question involving his competency or char
acter was raised. He was sacrificed to the
spirit of party, and therefore is more entitled
than ever to the sympathy and support of his
own political friends. The Wing benches
were unusually thin on the division. Now
that the work ofdecapitation has commenced,
it may be fairly presumed the opposition will
carry it on to the "bitter end" without dis
elimination as to merit or Justice. According
to the accepted axiom of the Union, the blood
of the martyrs may prove the seed of the
church.

thousand Of newspapers, the daily average
would be about one hundred and tUeLUe thou

INDIANA-CHAMBERLAIN's GAzETTEER.-
A State that has enlarged its population from
1000 to 10000 in less than half century
is worthy OF our attentive consi4 eration. In
diana has done somewhat more than this and
gives present evidence that her progress is to
be accelerated.
Her natural advantages in soil, climate
position and minerals are admirable. Her
people are hardy and energetic and are show
ing their appreciation and determination to
make the best use of these natural advan-
tages.
Mr. E. Chamberlain has recently publish
ed gazetteer Of this noble State and en-
bodied therein vast amount of useful infor-
nation.
tits great pity that some of the members
of our late convention did not have this work
before them and learn therefrom what this
young sister OF Kentucky is doing in the es-
adjustment and support OF school, cole ges
and humane institutions, and IN the construc-
ton of railroads and canals.

THE GIRAFFE.-The tongue Of the giraffe
is exquisitely contrived for grasping. In its
native deserts, the animal uses it to hook
down branches which are beyond the reach
of its muZzle; and in the menagerie at Re
gents Park, many fair lady has been rob
he'd of the artificial flowers which adorned
her bonnet by the nimtle and filching tongue
Of the rare obiect of her admiration. When
attacked, Notwithstanding the natural defence
! of horns aud hoofS, the cameleopard always
seeks escape in flight, and will not turn TO d,
battle. except at the last extremity. In such
cases. he someG times makes successful de-
fence by striking out his powerful armed feet;
and the king of beasts IS frequently repealed
and disabled by the wounds which the giiaffe
has thus inflicted with his hoofs His horns
are also used with effect, and sde-long
sweep of his neck sometimes does fatal ex-
ecution.
Some years ago. a giraffe was sent from
/ Egypt to COnstantinople. His keeper used
to exercise him in an open square, where the
/ Turks flocked daily, in great crowds, to see
| the extraordinary animal Seeing how inof-
fensive he was. and how domestic he became.
the keeper took the animal with him through
! the city; and whenever he appeared, num-
Der offrendly hands were held out of the lat
/ ticed windows. TO offer him something TO eat.
When he came to a house where he had been
well treated, il no one was at the window, he
would tap gently against the wooden lattice,
as il to announce his visit He was extreme
ly docile and af1ectonate; and. if left TO him
SELF he always irequented the streets where
he had the most and best friends.
