Judge r. A. Upton, of Louisiana, who
was delegate in the Baltimore Convention,
passed here lately on the Glendy Burke. The
boat was detained here several hours loading
tobacco, and the Judge, at the request of a
number of Wings, consented to address the
people at night in the court house. Although
there was but an hours notice, very large
crowd was assembled, and the Judges speech
literally burst into flame the fire which but
few hours before had been kindled in our rati-
fcation meeting. He gave most eloquent and
graphic description of the action of the conven-
ton, and the unanimity which prevailed among
the delegates when General Scott was pro-
claimed the nominee of the convention. We
have rarely ever witnessed such enthusiasm as
prevailed during his speech, which was truly
powerful one; and if he continues to deal forth
such volles of fire as he goes South, the glori-
Gus Wings of old Louisiana will catch the
flame, and burn still stronger than ever in their
devotion to Winfield Scott and the Union.

Lace.-Mr. Weed, of the Albany Evening

Lace-Mr Weed, of the Albany Evening
Journal, in one of his agreeable letters f'om
Europe, gives the following notice of the mania
for fine lace, which is conspicuous among the
forms of modern extravaganza:
"The ladies' visited the principal lace manu-
factory, where the Brussel article is made and
sold for sums of money that would frighten
prudent people. What do you think, for ex-
ample, of trimming dress with lace at $3.50
and $500 yard? But just now the rage is
for old lace. In Florence, Rome, Naples, Ve-
nice, etc, etc, traffic in old lace is very active
Ladies look for it with more solicitude than for
any other article of dress. Neither jewelry nor
precious stones are so much priced as lace
known to have been worn by cardinal or
monk century or two ago. No lady thinks
of Leaving Italy without securing some of these
precious spos. OF course, the supply of old
lace keeps pace with the rapidly increasing de-
mand. How much of it is genuine, will not
undertake to say. Every lady quite sure that
she can detect the antique from the modern" :"

Com. Slocbton.-The Trenton Gazette says,
1t is currently reported that when commit
tee of Democrats at Washington waited on
Commodore Stockton and invited him to ratify
the nomination of Gen. Pierce, he expressed
his great astonshment that they should ask
Kim to speak in support of such 4 man as
Pierce-a man whom he scarcely ever heard
showed that he entertained set of principles,
to every one of which, almost, Com. Stockton
was opposed. He thought it very strange to
be asked to speak in favor of such a nomina-
ton,
