HEALTH OF COL. KING.

The last Richmond Enquirer, says: I'VE I'M
derstand that Senator Clemens of Alabama, passed
through this city Monday morning, from the South,
on his way to Washington city, and that he was
asked by gentleman on the cars, as to the health
of Vice President elect, VIM. r. King, and his
reply was thathe saw Mr.. King on his way through
Alabama, few days before, and that his health
was greatly improved much better than usual
The report, therefore, put in circulation a few
days ago about Col. Kings death, is doubtless
entirely unfounded. ~

THE LEGISLATURE.

We refer our readers to our legislative columns
for proceedings from Tuesday to Thursday, inclu-
sive.
On Thursday the Senate disagreed to the House
proposition to vote on that day for Attorney
General, but agreed to vote to-day (Friday) for
Supreme Court Judge. On the same day the two
Houses voted twice for Senator. Mr.. Dobbin and
Gen. Saunders increased their vote, while Mr..
Shepards vote fell off. There were number of
scattering votes.
We continue to hear, from all quarters, the
strongest expressions from the Democracy in favor
of Mr.. Dobbin. He is gaining, as the vote shows ;
and all his friends have to do to ensure his election
is to stand firmly by him. A full vote on the part
of the Democrats for the nominee of the party,
would at once put an end to the present state of
things. And how long, may we be allowed to
ask, is this condition of things to be continued
Gentlemen who are refusing, for whateUer reasons
to support the nominee, may rest assured that the
eyes of the Democrats of the whole State are upon
them; and that if Wing should slip in as the
result of existing differences, they will be held to
a strict accountability for such result. The pa
tience of the Democratic people is NELL nigh ex-
hdusted

As considered this a favorable opportunity to
new the subject, remarked to the Minister he must
excuse me for again calling his attention to the mat
ter of the cession of Cuba !; that Impression had
been produced in the United States, in consequence
of publications on the subject, that Spain
might be induced make the transfer, if su f.

cession, but authorized to enter into negotiation

States as to its effects on the Spanish islands. He
would doubtless recollect the speech of Lord George
Bentck at the last session of Parliament the
subject of the Spanish bondholders, and of the reply
of Lord Pamerson, asserting the right of the Brit

recovery of these debts whenever it might deem it

had been given up to the Americans, but was
again stolen the same night by the Indian who
claimed him, and taken back to the mountains,
where he remained until the Indians recently
came down into the settlements for the pur-
pose of robbing. They divided into three
parties. His party succeeded in getting a
number of horses, but were closely pursued
by some Americans, who recaptured the stolen
property, killed one Indian and wounded two
others. Ia the retreat the boys horse gave
out, and he was left behind. He wandered
about on foot for ten days before he reached
Mr.. Pew's. During this time he had nothing
to eat except such things as he picked up, hav-
ing no firearms with which to shoot game
For four days he was without water. He kept

fifteen years of age, and had entirely forgotten
