We are glad 10 learn that this genllemans con-
diton continues 10 improve daily, and that strong
hopes are now entertained Of his speedy GONZALES

As-soon as his reasoning faculties were restored,
he asked for the partner Of his bosom and his in
FAINT rhild3 but being informed that lhev were too
i'll 10 be present 10 his cha nber heciEcerlullg
signed himself 10 the DEGREES Of Providence. His
inquiries however, relative TO their egmdiion be-
coming daily more importunaie his friends yester-
day determined 10 reveal TO him the sorrowtul
tidings. The Rev. Mr. Moore was selected as the
organ of communication. Finding Mr.. Winston
calm and composed be revealed The painful and
crushing tidings of The death of his wife and infant
carefully avoiding, however all ailusion To the
cruel manner of their death. The revelation deep
" touched Mr.. Winston; but he subsequently be7
came composed and appeared 10 yield obedience
TO the sad decree which had deprived him of tw6
objects nearest bis heart
He is, Of course, profoundly ignorant of the al
trocious attempt which was made, .aaSl too sue
cessfnlly, % murder himself and family That
revelation will require all the fortitude W ich
bust health can impart and his friends will studi-
ously avoid acquainting him with the narrowing
particulars uniilk fully restored to health and
strength Richmond IfMeS Of Friday.

been charged with misreprescntng his District and op
posing the Compromise in voting for Gen Scott, makes
triumphant vindicaton Of himself. He does more he
carries the into Africa We take the following TO
be clincher On those Locofocos who bolster
for the Compromise:
The 18th district opposed to the Compromise indeed
Whence this born zeal for the Compromise, since it
has become the acknowledged platform OF both political
parties Where all your patriotic thunder in the
day Of trial Who was for il in the dark and trying
tine Z Where were your Virginia r0tes? How many
in Congress you count from Virginia recorded

Virginia statesmen, could comprehend this m6nentoGs
subject in all It's length and breadth To Kim alone it
given to this subject it has sinee been seen

defiance Of the ire and anathenas Of those lte minds
