1t will be seen from the correspondence in
another column that Mr.. Alexander Moseey
Senior editor of the Richmond Wing, accents
the nomination for Congress, rendered him by
the scottsvilie Convention. He CALAMITY res
ponds to the call OF his 'brothers in the faith"
aud goes forth upon a new field OF action "to
seek and devour error wherever it issto be found"
May good luck attend him in his peregrinatons
and may he prove not less efficient and success
tul as canvasser than journalist.
The Wings Of this State have now three edi-
tors in the field for Congress, viz; Mr. Snewden
IN the Alexandria, Mr.. Sterret in the Parkers-

We hope that these gentlemen will fight hard,
for the honor OF the craft and that we shall have
the pleasure of recording shs election of all of
| them. -

MARSHAL OF THE DIsTRlcr or COLUMBIA
The Washington Republic of vastardav saus

Washington has been in commotion this af
fernoon over rumor saying that VIM. T. Over
ton, ESQ.,, of the Union newspaper, had actually
been agreed on in Cabinet meeting this morning
tor the marshalship of the District of Columbia.
There are quite number of minor places in the
gut OF the incumbent of that office, which &C.
counts for the most part for the remarkable pub
nc interest In the solution of the question-Who
Is to be the new Marshall" Each of the candi-
date ore pressed warmly by host of friends, of
course, not few of whom keep an eye wide
open to the chances of getting one of the little
places above referred to-
Mr. .. nos being known as an applicant for
that particular place, this rumor made the hair of
hundred such gentlemen stand on end. How.
ever, there was nothing in it, as the District ap-
pointments were not approached ia the meeting
of to day.

A'"" TO SONORA.-W0 extract
from the Alta Californian the following arti.
We are authoratively advised that large ex-
Pediton is fitting out in this city to go to Sonora.
1t will number near twelve hundred men, md be
commanded by the Count de Raoussett Boulbon.
we nave been assured that nothing hostile is
intended in the expedition; on the contrary the
presence OF such a number of we'll armed and
disciplined men on the frontiers of that State,
will have the happiest effect in keeping the
Apaches IN check and restoring confidence and a
feeling of security to the Inhabitants.
the Intention is to enter Sonora, and obtain from
Gov. Gandara permission to explore aud work the
numerous mines now lying entirely abandoned
on the frontier This mammoth company will
be divided into three distinct parties all subie Ct
to one general head. and code of laws for Il. @
general good. The three divisions are to be mi
nels. farmers and artizans. These parties will
extend along the frontier and probably occupy
the large and once rich and fourishing ranches Of
Barbacornon and San Bernardino.

| HE OLD GLOBE TAVERN has been demolished
Scarcely vestige of it remains. The brick and
timber used in its construction however, will
speedily enter into new combinations, and form
row OF unpretending little cottage residences on
the suburbs of the city, the lime and sand used
in plastering its walls, have been hauled off into
the country, and will serve to enrich the soil of
some fortunate farmer. They, too, will enter
into new combinations, and reappear, possi-
oily, next season, in our vegetable markets, in
the shape OF mammoth beets, overgrown pump
kins or iusty ears of corn. Verify, nothing is
lost. But our object in abiding to the demol-
ton ofthe famous old building known as the
''Ilobe Tavern" was not to attempt to trace the
remains of the old fabric it was, on the contrary,
to acquaint the good people of this thriving city
with things that are to come after--of the Phoenix
ABOUT to s.prisg from the ashes of the old house
which in times past alike knew Pane and Com
fort.
It's known to most of our readers-for we have
already announced the fact-that the lot was pur-
chased by Messrs Kent, Paine Il Kent. It is
also known that these gentlemen contemplate
erecting splendid tenement upon the site Of
the Old Globe Tavern, but it is not generally
known what kind of tenement it is likely to be-
when finished. Having seen the drawings in the
office of Messrs. ExaI &c Lybrock, we shall en-.
deayor to convey to the reader some faint con.
cepton of the structure, as it row stands upon
paper. The tenement will front forty feet on
Main street, and will be 145 feet in depth. 1t
will be four stories high, above basement aud
celar-including these, its height will be six
stories. The entire fr mt will be composed of
Connecticut brown stone-a beautiful building ma
teral, in great request in the Northern cities. -
The store room or principal story will be suppor-
ted by six colos sal iron columns, beautiful lIy flu
ted and ornamented; the first as well us the top
cornice will be of stone, deliberately wrought; the
windows, too, will be beautifully aud eabora tely
ornamented with carvings of stone, and the whole
binding, when completed, will not only be CO.
lossal in proportions, but beautiful in design and
admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is
intended We unhesitatingly predict that it will
be the handsome st building of the kind in the
Union. To Messrs Exall & Lybrock is due all
the credit of the design, but to Messrs. Kent,
Pane & Kent belong the still higher credit of
enlarged liberality in carrying out the plans of
architects. I he structure will prove an ornament
to the city.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

The Republics local correspondent gives the
following latest report of the nsws in Washing
ton:
WASHINGTON, April z.
l learn that since 1944, when a very important
change was made in the system of discussing
the funds to cover the expenses of the General
Land Office Bureau, not dollar has been lost by
the defacation of surveyors general, who. before,
were constantly getting behindhand ia amounts
varying from $4,000 to $4,000. This change
took from those officers nearly all the disburse.
mens with which they were previously charged.
Thus, instead of sending to them in advance
large sums for the payment Of deputy surveyors,
the latter are now paid by the job, as it were,
as they close up their work each township and
forward theirs ,snlchers; the certificate of draft
for tho amount due them being duly forwarded
to their respective addresses. | make this state-
ment because complaints are uttered against
shaving the accounts of deputy surveyors at dis
tant points.
To-day General Charles Gratiot, late Brigadier
General of the U. States army, and chief mill
tary engineer in the service of the Government,
was Installed as Thousand dollar clerk in the
Land Office Bureau. | presume that his good
fortune in obtainiug place in the current scram-
BILE for cerkships 10 Washington is the result of
Mr.. Secretary McCeand's former acquaintance
with him; for his mind and thorough profession
al attaiuments originated and pushed through
most of the public works of the Governmen Mt in
the northwest. it will be remembered. Having
surrendered all his means to the Government
long SINCE in satisfaction of their judgment, his
circumstances said to require that he should
seek to provide for his family as he has DONE
1t may not be amiss to remark that it is we'll
known here that his original defalcation was the
result of undue confidence in the integrity and
Judgment of friends, rather than of any purpose
on his partto be faithless to his trust.

| SENTENCE OF WoRMLEY-The Court OF An
peals having refused J. S. Wormley new trial,
Judge Nash proceeded on Saturday last, as we
learn from the Wing, to pass sentence of death
upon him for the murder of A. r. Robiou. in
Chesterfield county. The Oath OF June was
named as the day upon which the execu ion will
take place. Extraordinary efforts hive been used
to shield the unhappy murderer from the rigors
OF the law; but all to no purpose. He has been
twice adjudged guilty. by n jury of his peers, of
the wilful and malicious murder of human be-
ing, and that human being his own son in law,
and gentleman without reproach. Not salts
fed with the verdict in either case. his friends
endeavored againto bring the accused before
jury. They employed counsel of acknowledged
ability to aid them; but without avail. The pro-
ceilings in the Chesterfield Circuit Court we're de-
cared ODE regular by the highest tribunal known
to our laws, and the prisoner was remanded back
to undergo sentence. That sentence has been pas
sed upon him, and will in all human probability
be carried into effect on the day above named.
Bereft OF hope on this earth, it only remains for
him to endeavor to meet his Maker in peace.
