WING ORGANIZATION.

writer in the last Republican is urging upon
The dem )crauc patty Of Campbell to organize
for the purpose Of defeating the Wing candl.
aairs. both for Campbell county and the Con-
ere,slonal District The names Of gentlemen
are gwen, who in the opinion Of the writer, will
be able. should thy b. candidates to effect this
result. We speal, Of this for the purpose oil a
rousing the Wings 70 action and to their duty
The Wings or Campbell owe it to themselves to
increase their IMPURITIES 10 the numbers of past
years. They owe II 10 Themselves also 10 yield
a cordial and efficient support to the nominee Of
the District Convention FOR Congress, which IS
shortly TO assemble in Farmyie. No matter
from what county Oft he district heUway come,
we pledge the Wings Of Campbell and Lynch
burg 10 a majority winch shall attest the vlgor OF
their ancient coura e. and their determination II
exercise il against those who have endangered
the safety of the Union, and the happiness ofour
people.
In our last we inserted the proceedings Of the
Wings Of Cumberland. proposing the 12ih Feb
ruary as the day on which the District Conven-
ton shall assemble. and to-day will be found a
communication of Many Wbig' of the District
rrspondngto the suggestion, and which we hope
will meet the appreciation of the Wings OF each
of the other counties and that they will com
mnne together on the appointed day, impress
ed with the belief oil their power and determl-
nation 10 redeem the District from tue OPPOSE
ton.
We entertain for our representative (Mr. Boz
cock) every respect which is due hun, but thai
he has acted in direct opposition to a vast ma,
ioriy Of his constituents, is proposition, we
think easily TO be demonstrated.
We should then prepare at once By first Sc
lecting, at the January Court days, delegation,
to represent us at FarmviIIe ON the appointed day
and giving to the candidate Of their selection the
support which shall be worhy of those who en-
terrain no hostility 10 The Union-who are fol
protecting our rights as ii becomes feemen and
patriots, and not as The co.opcrators Of Gidding'
and Hale.

THE RED.L.ND DISTRICT.

From the SUI ,lned proceedings OF the Wings
of Madison county, it will be seen thai tha move
made in several other counties of the District for
holding Convention at Charlottesville has been
responded to, and that they are animated and
prepared to make vigorous effort 10 reclaim their
lost ground.
The resolution which declares their determi-
nation to support as becomes them, the nominee
Of the Convention, and the rxprcS>i Of conf
dence in their late Representative, the Hon.
YIN. l.. Gnggin, are sentiments which breathe
the spirit of success. Should Mr. Goggin be
chosen by the Convention to bear the Wing BAN
ner As he has done heretofore, it will be an Or
easion on which every Whg can, with patriotic
PRIDE surrender day or Two TO secure his cleo
ton. There are many who are able and worthy
To lead ia the Wing ranks Of that District and
be the candidate who he may, we are satisfied
that but one purpose and one object will ami
mate those that have the power to diSplace the
present representative, who to say the least of IT,
has violated the known opni ms Of his conSti-
tnents, and as far can be aSccralned from his
public care r, is ready 10 unsette the measures
of compromne and adj ustment Of the last session

A DIGNITARY ON Hrs OWN HooK.-The Lon
don correspondent of the Courier and Enquire
narrates the following incident attending the inau
guration of the great Fair:
Conspicuous among the corps diplon,atigus, and
IN immediate proximity to the very throne of roy
atty, was person in the costume of Mandarin
who had assumed that position as of right, and
whom the public and the officials OF the exhibition
believed to be the "Chinese En,6assador."
This dlgnitary made the acquaintance on the
spot, and upon his own introduction, of the Duke
of Wellington, the Marquis of -Ang,esea, the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and many other Of the
highest persons in the realm; and was regarded
with extreme respect by the assembly until it was
remarked that when he joined the procession, 4"
which accompanied the Queen, in making the cir.
cult OF the exhibition, his diplomatic brethren
seemed rather, to give the Chinaman the "cold
shoulder; ." and at length little inquiry and re
lection awakened remembrance OF the fact that
there is no such person as Chinese Embassa.
Dor :" IN London; and the discovery of most SUI
perb imposture was at length completed by the
circumstance that a gentleman, connected with the
Morning Post, recognized in his sol distant excel-
lency no less or other a person than the distip
guished Mandarin who exhibits himself daily
IN the Chinese Junk, at the small charge of one
shilling E" and Of whose actual rank and DIGNITY
in the Celestial Empire, malicious rumor alleges
on our positive knowledge, 10 be such as we NAV
deduce from the fact that his excellency first yisi

A SHEEP CARRIED UP BY WHIRLwfNp,-
destructive whirlwind and storm passed over the
farms of William and Thomas Vance, in portion
of Smith and Cross Creek Township, in this
county, on Tuesday afternoon, the Goth ult. A
sheep was lifted from the ground, and carried up
in the air some distance, and fell, bursting it open
and killing it instantly. Five large apple trees
were uprooted, and one carried several rods into
an adjoining field. A stack of straw was entirely
