MYsrERioUs.-A writer from Pearisburgh,
Giles county, Va, says: "At distance of
some three miles from this place, where some
workmcn were blasting rock, having made an
excavation of ten or twelve feet, the earth gave
way, and all were plunged into a large room
apparently dug out. At the further extremity
OF the room, human skeleton was found in
leaning posture, reclining, as it seems, against
the sides of the cavern ;and seated upon some
thing resembling chest. No clue as yet is
known to get at the history Of the human relic"

THE FISHERY SETrLEMENT.-The National
Intelhgencer in referring to the various specu-
}ations Of the Eastern press, in relation to the
reported settlement of the fishery dispute, says !:
g E -svs Fssune there has been no new ar
r,ngemcnt entered into, even if any has been
on ei;hcr side thought of or proposed. All
That was meant, as We believe, by the late ac-
counts from England, WAS that the British
Ministry has disclaimed tho adoption Of any
policy or the enforcement Of any more stringent
regulations respecting the Fisheries than had
been observed prior to the late groundess
fare-up in this country;in short, that the
British Ministry had no thought Of adopting
any new line Of conduct in the premises, but
meant to leave the subject, both in principle
and practice, just where the Treaty OF 1918
placed it, and where it has remained ever since"

Election of u. S. Senator.

Tho Legislature, on the 22d ult., re-
elected Hon, Robert NJ. 7. Hunter to the
U. S. Senate for six years from the 4th of
March, 1858, by vote of 126 to 63.
The reelection of Mr.. Hunter was
generally anticipated, while large Por-
ton of our citizens would have preferred
Hon. Henry A. Wise for that important
position. This feeling, we believe, is al
most universal in this section of the State,
owing to the liberal course pursued by
that gentleman in the Convention to
amend the Constitution, But as he re.
ceived only fourteen votes, we presume
that he was not fully a candidate before
the Legislature. This supposition is
strengthened by the remarks of several OF
tho members, who expressed the belle
that Mr.. Wise would not allow himself to
be taken up for the purpose of defeating
Mr.. Hunter at this important moment, as
he thought his past course in the Senate
should be sustained.
Mr.. Hunter is aman Of decided ability,
and we believe has uniformly represented
the feelings of the State in the national
Legislature. He voted against the Com
promise measures because lie thought the
interests of the South were not sufficient
ly provided for, but since they have been
looked upon as a final settlement of the
slavery question, he is willing to consid-
or them q conclusive compromise" as
long as their provisions are faithfully car
rind out

KossUTH HATS AND FEATHERs.-We
have recently seen good many snobbish
looking customers with feathers in their
hats, who appeared to be laboring under
the delusion that they were just about the
thing. Ostrich feathers in this work-day
world, and particularly on drizzly day,
appears to us shockingly,, out of place in
a mans hat. 1t is bad enough for women
to wear them; but for men-bah How
ever, lqissez fairie is our motto, and we
shall not quarrel with any body's private
tastes. The Kossuth hat, by the way is a
horse of another color: we like the Kossuth
hat, because it is at the same time comfor-
table, convenient and comely. But, for
our own part, as much as we like Kossuth,
we should never think of robbing an os-
trich of its tail to put feather in our
cap. 1t is well enough for Indians and
Hungarians to wear feathers, as it seems
to be natural TO uncivilized nations, but
we don't see the beauty of our snobs fol-
lowing such examples
We copy the above from the Brother
Jonathan. Esop's ass is not the only
one that thinks himself a lion because he
has the skin of the animal on his back.

Gov. JoHSsoN.-Thc editor of the
Fredericksburg News (Whig) paid visit
the other day to the new Governor, and
records the result as follows
We called upon our new Governor on
Saturday last in Richmond, and paid him
the respect due so distinguished a func-
tionary. He is not so old, so little, or SO
unworthy as we expected to find him.
We heard him address military compa-
NY in appropriate and becoming terms
he conyersed with us very pleasantly, and
was altogether an agreeable gentleman
We told him of our opposing his election
and our approval of his Message. Tc
which he very promptly and suitably re-
piled in an appropriate couplet from Wal
ter Scott.
Would it not be well for some other
Wing editors to make the acquaintance o.
Gov. johnson, before expressing theiI
contempt for the man quite SO freely
They may not find him quite so insignif'
cant after all.

thanks to the publishers. This Magazine

fact that the profits of the establishment

secure it q liberal support All ministers

pretty little Magazine, published by John

families. AS premium they offer to all

money, in addition to the Keepsake for

Ey We have heard some talk in town
of q daily line of stages from the termi-
nus of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
at Three Fork on Cheat river, to Parkcrs-
burg, and the establishment of a line OF
fast wagons on the same route. This
would undoubtedly be the shortest and
cheapest route for either passengers on
freight from Baltimore to all places on the
Ohio below Parkersburg, besides be ing
the surest. The Ohio being always navi-
gable below that point. Let some of our
enterprising men take this in hand. The
enterprise must be profitable one.

A Newspaper in Uest BaDn Rouge.-We
bad the pleasure of a visit on Tuesday last
from Mr.. P. WINFREE, Jr., late Of the Baton
Rouge Gazate, who informs us that he con-
templates issuing a weekly journal in the pa
IRISH of West Baton Rouge in about fifteen
days. If the enterprising citizens of that pa
IRISH know their true interests, they will highly
encourage this undertaking. A we'll conduct
ed newspaper has a silent but sure influence
upon the prosperity of a people whom it is
designed to benefit, which no one of perception
and intelligence can for a moment doubt. A
newspaper and a plank road commencing at
the same time in our sister parish, looks as if
she was on the eve of a new and prosperous
era. Mr.. W1NFREE has given full evidence of
his energy and ability in the management of d
public journal, and we trust that his present
enterprise will prove profitable to himself and
highly acceptable to the people of West Baton
Rouge.

Erroneous Iyo7 mation.-.After seeing it sta
ted in several papers, 10y telegraph, that our
fellow-citizen, MIR. JOHN II. RANDOLPH, had
met his death through the burning of the Hen
ry Clay, both our duty and our feelings prompt
ed us to record the melancholy event and to
pay a brief but just tribute to his memory
1t is now with most sincere pleasure that we
are enabled to say that those Geographic des-
patches were erroneous-that Mr.. Il. escaped
the dangers Of that terrible affair, and the last
account we see Of him stated that he was in
attendance at an Indignation meeting relative
to that occurrence, held at the Aston House,
New York. Few men have the privilege of
reading their own obituaries but, although this
vas premature, the consolation of knowing
that he who was supposed to be dead lives to
contradict it, is 4 pleasure, certainly, which
over-balances the sorrow and pain which such
errors are calculated to bring to fond and en-.
dearing breasts at home.

The Fishery ubles.-The st. John IN.

mention the seizof the fishing schr. Hyades.

Netly, charged a violation of the Fishery
Convention of 8. 1t is not stated whether
she was captuw within three miles of the
shore, or merpr entering the Bay. She
was sent into Shn. The New Brunswicker
has an article ID confirms the opinion that
the aggressiveciple of the British Govern
ment towards fishermen is but a studied
attempt to coour Government to conclude
a treaty of rtocity in favor of the British
Provinces. 1British Ministry (the Boston
Journal well arks) will probably learn, be-
fore the mats settled, that this is not the
most appropl way of opening a negotiation
with a poWetation.
