John Randolph Outdone.

eccentric man of Roanoke, we do not believe
the following was ever in print:
He was through part of Virginia in
which he was MISUNDERSTANDING the

An Inn near the forks of the road. The inn
keeper was fine old gentleman, and no
doubt one of the first families Of the Old
Dominion knowing who his distinguished
guest was, he endeavored during the even
ing to draw him into conversation, but failed
in all his efforts But in the morning when
Mr. Randolph was ready to start, he called
for his bill, which, on being presented, was
paid. The landlord, still anxious to have
some conversation with him, he began az
follows:
(Which way are you travelling, MIR. Ran
dolph"
"Sir!" said Mr.. Randolph, with look of
displeasure.

are you travelling," ....

"Do 1 owe you anything more ?".

"Well, Pm going just where I please
do you understands"
"Yes"
The landlord by this time GOT somewhat
excited, and Mr.. Randolph drove off. But,
to the landlords surprise, in few minutes
the servant returned to inquire for his mas
ter which Of the forks of the road to take
MIR. Randolph not being out of hearing dis
lance, the landlord spoke at the top of his
breath, "Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me
one cent; just take which road you please"

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

AMI DLAC NV OOD > NA0AZlN Il.
Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church.
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) ana
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory.)
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
riodicals OF similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on a firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, aud is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as "The Caxtons' and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
. The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co, SO that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading OF those fascinating tales.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.


WASHINGTON, July rs, 1853
News to-day is almost scarce as dry spots IN
our deluged city. The most industrious inqusi-
ton at all the points where information is usu-
ally to be had resulted in an exceedingly brief
chapter.
A California newspaper, received by the Trea-
sury Department, states that the grand jury Of
San Francisco has found a true bill Of indictment
against Colonel James Collier, first Collector at
that port, charging him with having misappro-
prated some 100000 of the public funds; also,
that similar indictment was expected to be found
against T. Butler King, who succeeded Colonel
Collier, charging him with the misapplcation Of
about 500, 900.
1t is not true, believe, that the Department
has received any official notification of the facts
or any information on the subject, except that
contained in the newspaper referred to. Some
months since the Department sent out to San
Francisco, by the present Collector (Major
Hammond) such evidence as it had Units posses
sion, with directions to have the subject brought
before the grand jury if the evidence transmitted
and such additional evidence as was expected to
be obtained, was deemed sufficient to procure the
Indictments This action of the Department was
kept profound secret until to-day.
Colonel Golfers accounts have never been
adjusted by the Department. He acknowledges
having in his possession moneys belonging
to the United States, but had steadily refused
to pay them over, until the Department should
allow him certain suspended items charged
against him. From the FIRST however, he de-
clared his readiness to stand suit and abide the
issue, whatever it might be. 1t seems the De-
partment preferred to take the summary
method of criminal prosecution, which will pro-
badly end in smoke Perhaps the prosecution
in Mr.. King S case rests upon similar basis
Minister Soule left the city to-day for New
York, after final conference with the President
this forenoon.
John A. Cuthbert, Southern Rights man, has
been appointed live oak agent of the Government
for Alabama.
John Tyssowski, recently clerk in the Office
Of the Register of the Treasury, has been ap-
pointed an examiner in the Patent Office.
Isaac Rudebaugh, of Indiana, is appointed to a
clerkship in the Registers Office, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by MIR. Tyssowski's promotion.
Samuel York Alice has been transferred from
the Office of the Register of the Treasury to
$500 clerkship in the Sixth Auditors Office te
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation o
r. G.. Murphy, appointed Consul at Shanghai
Mr.. Murphy, by the way, is from Ohio, and j.
spoken of an energetic and talented young
man. He came to Washington in the spring, ex
pecting to get a consulate, failing in which he
took clerkship, and in time obtained the foreign
appointment he sought. ZEKE.

The intelligence from Texas is not of a very

We are happy to announce that by the last ac-
counts from Waco, Governor Paine was recover

The Houston Telegraph is informed that a ma

Judge Ochiltree, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor, has issued circular not remarkably differ
ing from those of other candidates. He is opposed
to division of the State, and to the indiscrimi-
nate granting of railroad charters. He is in favor
of an increase of the supreme bench and of the
salary of judges, of the building of great trunk
railroad across the State, and of an amendment
to the State constitution, which will enable the
State to encourage internal improvements
The .Niteces Valtey has letter from Bellyille,
Webb county, to the effect that Captain Gran

that place in the night. Three of the Indians
were killed. several wounded, and all their horses,
guns, blankets, bows, arrows, &c., captured.

HOUSE Struck BY LIGHTNINc.--The charge of
electricity, whose release during the storm of
Tuesday evening was accompanied by such ter
rife peal of thunder, struck the house of Charles
Pearson, on Franklin street The electric fluid
entered the building by the roof at the eastern
edge, and over the room occupied by DR.. N X.
Hunt Dividing as it struck, the charge entered
the room at seven points, and ndugcd in curious
enough freaks with the doctors furniture, surgi-
cal armory, sc. One division dealt especially
with large mirror-strpping it of it's tissue on
veope, knocking off the carvel work of its frame,
amalgam of it's back, and otherwise defacing it,
Another entered the case of instruments, tearing
it in pieces, and causing confusion of scapels,
forceps, &c., like the disturbance of medical
student meeting over just t'resurrected" subject
The larger portion of the fluid escaped by the
windows and piazza roof, showing its antpathy
to the metals in the way of buried na-heads
ruptured shutter hangings, and untinned roofing

the bedroom adjoining was occupied by DR.. H.,

simultaneous appeal of the thunder as most terri

on Sunday evening. At the time of his death he
had three important railroad contracts on hand,
viz: that between Cincinnati and St. Louis, a
S9,OOO,O00 contract; that between Maysville and
Lexington, Kentucky; and that between Toronto
and the st. Lawrence. He was the principal en-

the country; and his loss, it is believed, will be
felt as far as he is known
