CARD OF b. f. BROWN.

D. T. Brown, who has been charged with oh.
tanning money from government on fraudulent
military claims, has published a card in the De.
troit papers, from which We extract the follow.
ing:-
Last summer, as an attorney at Washington
city, prosecuted before the Departments, some
claims which were given me by the persons own.

interest whatever in these claims, and knew no,h.
ing against their character. did my duty as an
attorney, and thought no more of the matter.
At the meeting of Congress was nominated
by the Democratic members for an Office in The
House of Representatives. About the middle Of
January, the day before it was supposed the cleo.
ton would take place. it was reported thai one of
the two claims which / had prosecuted vss in

fuoNoGRApIfY.

As our readers are no doubt aware, this is a
new 81 stem of short hand writing, or writing ac-
cotding To sound, which is .copning into gene
raj favor wherever introduced and in almost
the entire North, is regarded as an essential de.
psrtmeut of primary education. We regard the
system as most ingenious in its design, and en-
tirely feasible 10 practice, and a boy of 10 or IA
years of age, would be able to master the system
in half the time that he could learn to write in
the ordinary way.
MIR. SAITH, who has had char &c of a Class for
the last few weeks in our town, designs visiting,
We learn, some of the neighborins counties for
the purpose of introducing the Photographic art,
and We take pleasure in commenting him TO the
kind consideration of our brethren oil the press.

ADJOURNMENT.

Ths Legislature of Virginia adjourned on Fri
day last, and our Senator, Mr.: ORE, reached
home on Sunday evening, and. our Delegates,
Msssrs. WoRTuIscToS and DUE will arrive to-
day. The Bill authorizing The vote Of the
people of Virginia at The Spring election, as to
the call of a State Convention, il one among the
most important measures of its Legislation, and
will meet, we hope, with much ri,ore favor at the
hands Of the people, than that miserable system
of log-rolling which is coming So much in vogue
in our Legislature, which threatens TO bankrupt
the State and ruin it's citizens: by a wild and
reckless system Of internal improvements.

Dy reference TO Advertisement, it will be seen
that our citizens will have an opportunity on Fri.
day evening next, of witnessing this novel and
astonishing performance in Ball Harmony" by
tho original Swiss performers. We have never
had the pleasure of hearing the concord of
swee, sounds" as produced by these unique and
original /" mins,rels," but the testimo-
NY Of the press, and those OF Jour citizens who
have witnessed the performance in the Eastern
cities, pronounce it one among the most wonder
full exhibitions of the day. Oar citizens, gene

por,unitY of gratifying a desire which we have
heard MANY express.

cLARKE AND -JEFFERsoN.

of communications between those two counties

intercourse and business which has heretofore
existed. The Charlestown aud Bcrryville Tura-
pike Comp ny. is now under way, both as to
grading and M~acadamizing, At several points,
and most Of the difficulties which previously ex-
listed, satisfactorily settled.
In addition to the prospect for tho early COM
pistion OF this road, the people Of Millwool and its
vicinity have determined TO constructa Turnpike
20 Bsr'yvi!le, which mus, materially enhance the
value Of the former improvement. Almost the
entire stock necessary to construct the " Mill

REV. THOMAS sEwELL

o. - ~
We have already mentioned that this gentle
man,the American Consul to st. lagode Cuba,
had been refused his exequatur, by the Spanish
government. The reason for this was, that some
evil disposed persons had circulated a reportthat
ar. SewelI was an abolitionist. This charge, in
the present excited state of the island induced the
Spanish government to withhold the exeqnatur,
but we are pleased to learn the whole difficulty
will be, ifit has not already been, removed
The Washington correspondent ofthe New York
Tribune says:
So soon as the Spanish Minister, resident in
this city, learned the fact that the exequatnr had
been withheld from DR.. Sewell, he Immediately
wrote to his Government. giving an unqualified
contradiction to the charge Of Abolitionism brot'
against our Consul, and spoke in Tie highest
terms Of hin 10 his Government. as a gentleman
in whom the most unlimited confidence conld be
]reposed. The Spanish Minister went even fur.
Their than this, and expressed the confident hope
that upon The receipt of,his dispatches, such di-
sectlons would be given rs to secure at once the
granting of the exeqnatutta DR.. Sewell.
