The Presidency.

The present year is to witness another
Presidential election, and already the
notes of preparation for the contest are
sounding in every quarter of the country.
Meetings, Conventions, legislatures and
the public press-the most potent engine
of them all-are speaking out in behalf of
their favorites, and pressing their merits
and claims upon the country.
A large majority of the delegates cleo
ted to the Pennsylvania Democratic State
Convention, are favorable to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan.
The Democratic State Convention of
New Hampshire has declared for Gen.
VIM. o. Butler as the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency.
Ohio is divided between Ex-senator
Allen and Gen. Cass.
A majority of the delegates so far
elected from New York, are favorable to
the claims of Gen. Cass. Some of the
districts, however, have elected Douglas,
and others Marcy delegates.
Tennessee seems divided between Gen.
Pillow and Gen. Trousdale as the nnmi-
nee for the Vice Presidency. The State
will probably favor the claims of Gen.
Butler for the Presidency.
From various indications. we think
Georgia and Alabama will favor the
claims of Mr.. Buchanan.
The Louisville Democrat has come out
for Douglass for President. and R. NJ. T.
Hunter of Virginia for Vice President
The Boston Times has hoisted the same
ticket.
The Norfolk News comes out for Doug
lass for President, and the late Governor
Floyd for Vice President, and urges their
claims with much force.
These are some of the indications of
public sentiment abroad in reference to
the important, and soon to be, all-absorb-
ing question of the next Presidency. The
Democratic National Convention to make
nominations, meets in Baltimore on the
first of June, and it is high time that the
Democracy of Virginia were taking &C
ton to be fully and ably represented
therein,-LynchJurg Republican.

HoRR1D DEATH-It is rumored that a
shocking outrage was perpetrated in the
vicinity of Chester, Pa, about two weeks
since, which we believe has not yet been
mentioned by the papers of that wherea-
bouts. A poor tailor, who had lived a
short distance from Chester, was found
dead by the roadside early one morning,
bearing upon his person the evidences of
most atrocious barbarities. The deceas-
ed, according to the report, had formerly
been Incorporate in his habits but hav-
ing been reformed, was seldom about the
taverns of Chester. On the evening in
question, he came into town to measure a
customer for suit of clothes, and being
met by some of his former boon-eompan-
ions, they, for joke, enticed him into a
tavern, where his good resolutions were
soon forgotten; and being literally piled
state of intoxication. His prosecutors,
not yet satisfied, shaved the poor fellows
head, applied Spanish flies and cowadge,
and then taking his hat, in which they
had cut ori6ces sufficient to see and breathe
through, they pulled it completely over
his face, and let him go, to find his way
home as best he might. sbefore stated,
he persisted during the night, from the
effects of the treatment he had received,
combined with exposure to the cold. Five
young men, said to be of the highest res
pectability, are implicated in this transac-
ton, which, if our information is correct,
can scarcely be exceeded for brutality
They have been arrested and held to bail
to answer to the offence.-PhiIadelphiG

The Jackson Monument.

A correspondent of the New York Eve
ning Post writing from the city of Wash
lngton, on the 9th ult.. says that" the
Equestrian Statue of Jackson, which has
been topic of Washington conversation
for some two years past, will soon be I'm
ished and submitted to the admiration of
the public. Mr.. Mills, the artist, COM
mences melting for the body of the horse
to-day, and during the current week. one
half Of the body viii probably be cast
All but the body is now ready. have
seen the head of the horse and tbs safe
to say that the horse viii divide the adj
miration of the public. with his rider.
alt is generally conceded here that
there is NO finer horses head upon any
equestrian statue in the world.
"The Generals head is very eharae.
teristic, and by his most intimate friends
here. especially by Mr.. Blair, is esteemed
satisfactory. When raised upon the horse
the aggregate elevation viii be between
fifteen and sixteen feet. II is to be pla-
ced in the centre of the Park, in the rear
of the Presidents house.
"As Americans never do anything pre-
cisely as other people do. your readers
may be curious to know what novelty has
been introduced into tie first piece of
bronze casting of any size ever made in
this country, and into the first esquitarian
statue ever cast on this continent.
This will be the first and only esqui-
tartan statue in the world which is sup
ported solely by the hind legs of the
horse. In most cases, one of the fore legs
has rest. The famous statue of Peter
the Great comes nearest to an absolute
poise, but that is supported by the tail,
which gives the horse a constrained ap-
pearance as if he were trying to pull him
self away.
What adds somewhat to the interest
which this work is naturally calculated to
inspire, is the fact that two years ago,
Mr.. Mills was an obscure worker in plas-
ter in South Carolina, without name or
experience. He never saw an equestrian
statue made in his life; he never before
attempted piece of casting, and has con-
structed his own furnaces and machinery
without the models, or even the advice of
any master of the art. This entire self
reliance, when it leads to such success,
is evidence of genius"

VIRGINIA WOODEN MILL-This estab
lishment is growing rapidly in public fa-
vor and the reputation of its fabrics are
becoming co-cxtcnsivc with the Union
Its Flannels are now sold in New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, at fair prices,
and its other goods stand equally high
wherever offered for sale. This mill has
10 sets Of carding machines, $50 spindles;
rs Broad Looms /; and manufactures
about $500 yards of Flanncls per day,
using 5000 worth Of wool, daily. Stu
ated Immediately on the river, water is
used as motive power, any amount of
which it can command, from the fact of
its proximity to the falls of james river,
at this city. We understand that there
are from 1870 to $50 operatives regularly
employed in this Mill, most of whom are
females, Here is another opportunity for
Southerncrs to display their fcalty at
home. The Wooden Mill at Richmond
turns out as good fabrics as those of any
other Mill in the Union. Its Flannels,
Blankets and Coarse Cloths are said to
be of superior order, and its prices are
quite moderate; and yet, Notwithstanding
these facts, it's productions have been sent
to the North to find market, while arti-
Giles greatly inferior, are purchased at the
North, and brought here for sale. In
deed, we have heard of cases where goods
manufactured at this Mill were first sent
to the North, and placed in jobbing houses,
from which they were sold to our mer-
chants, re-shippcd to Richmond, and then
disposed of at high prices, Now does
not this look ridiculous Is it not
burning shame on our people ? And to
become independent, will they not be
compelled to do away these ridiculous
notions, that nothing good can be made
unless purchased in northern market
Let us encourage our own manufacturers,
build up our own trades-p people and work
men, foster onr infant manufactures, give
home products the preference. and wo
