LADIES RIDIEG.-It has been pet pro

the practice OF Ladies' Horseback riding
Our remarks on this subject have been ex-
tensively copied by the Press, ard highly
approved. aHi al many ot our fairs this fall,
prizes have been awarded for ladies' saddle
horses. This is well enough. but what we
wish most to promote is the practice Of rid

let the encouragement be offered to the ri
ders rather than the horses. We have seen

The Louisville Courier states that three

Paris correspondent of the Journal of Com

lv credited there at last dates, that Count
Pul sky has petitonedth the Austrian govern
ment for leave to return, promising import

choly commentary, not only upon the per,

the stuff of which European liberalism is
made. Those who listened to Pulsky's
obiurgations against Austria in this city, and
his eulogies of Kossuth's republicanism, will
best understand what we mean. Pulsky

canism himself; but then nobody ever dream

nomination. He introduces borders on the
end of the note paper in such way that no

the end Of the note, in addition to the figures
which indicate its value-a single border for
one dollar bill, two borders for two dollars,
and FIVE borders for five dollars. These are
inserted at the left hand of the note. For
the ten dollar notes single border is intro
duced on the right end; two borders for

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN.--We will

beams brightly upon the Wing column, in
viting it to future effort and future victory.
Tie Green Mountan boys, MS in other days,
are true 20 the principl,s of their rcvolu-
tonary sires. Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Kentucky and Tennessee may be with us,
but we have not sufficient returns to speak
positively. All else are for Pierce, and we
do think thai,r the present, we are "essen-
tialEy beaten" and we can only offer 10 the
Wings of the Union, the coasoluton con-
tanned in tho motto Of the Wings of Old
Faifeld -" Often beaten, but never conquer
cd" But it is folly to despair. Our prin-
ciples are as dear as ever, as well worth
striving for, and Truth must at length tri-
umph over Error. Wings, stand firm and
abide your time. Instead of working few
months or weeks upon the eve of the cleo

such man, when he addresses the people

principles of our nation. But instead OF
this, the speech was full Of the lowest party
slang. Not manly sentiment was uttered !.

men wiser or better-nothing to liftup the
aspirations Of progress and social improve

as seems correct, that Mr.. John p. Kennedy
the Secretary of the Navy, has ordered
to Washington to give an account TO the
Government of his recent transactions q
Havana. The President and Cabinet have
had the matter under consideration, at the
request of Mr.. Calderon de la Barca, and il
is surmised that our government has disap
proved the conduct of Capt Porter, and will
withdraw him from the Crescent City, anC
order him to sea Immediately"
We have taken some pains to inform our
selves correctly on this subject, and have
learned from an authentic source that thu
letter, in all it's material statements, is tbs
sue of Misrepresentation.
1t is true that the Secretary of the Nav,
has ordered Lieut.. Porter to repair to Wash
ington; but this was done, not ut the reques
of the Spanish Minister, but from his owl
sense of what was proper under the crcum
stances Of the case. Complaints have beeI
made from various quarters OF the conduct o
the authorities of Cuba in regard to the Cres
cent City, and it was therefore deemed ad
visable to ascertain from Lieut.. Porter il
