POLITICAL DEPRAvITY. "A statement is
going the rounds of the wing press, to the
effect that the President had deceived Mr..
Amber into a resignation of the office of
Marshal of Western Virgininia, with the
promise of again comforting the office upon
him. The Alexandria Gazette, wbir
paper, speaking ofthis matter says q" We
do not know the circumstances of the case.
tall. nor the reason why Mr. Amber re-
signed his ofice-hut we feel quite sure
there can he no foundation, in truth. for
the report referred to. and we are satisfied
that it must do great injustice to the Pres
ldent. The story is not probable, on its
face; nor, though a political opponent OF
the President, do We imagine for a mo-
ment. that he would act as represented by
this Washington rumor."
Now, suppose these whig papers. which
are SO induStriously circulating this dis
creditabie rumor as 10 how Mr.. Amber
got OUT of office, endeayor to asser-
tain how he was put rN-whether, indeed,
the thing was arranged " nicely" as is re-
ported to have been said by the late Sec,
retarv of Interior. We can tell those
papers which are grumbiing about Mr..
Amber, that his appointment never was
acceptable to the people of Western vir-
ginia, and we have heard wings in this
region so express themselves They
thought there were men here who would
have filed the office as well as Mr.. Amber.
but then it could not have been arranged
so nicely We oppose Weston Herald.
The statement alluded,to above has been
cOutradicted by the Washington Union
upon the authority of Mr. Mason, and
Hon. G. J. Faulkner has written letter
on the subject, in which he says, al feel
warranted in saying to you. that the pub
lished statement is from beginning to end
a sheer of fabrication ;. that the resigna-
ton of Air. Amber of the Office of Mar
shall, was so far as the President has any
knowledge of the motives which operated
on his conduct, wholly voluntaril and
un solicited; and that no promise or as
surance Of any kind was ever made by the
President to him or to any one else of his
but. on the contrary Mr..
was distinctly informed at the time,
han some person other than himself would
after a convenient pause. be solicited to fill
he place made vacant by his resignation. ("

HIGH PRIcE OF sLAvEs.-The three
slaves belonging to the infant heirs of ".
w. Thompson. sold at auction in this
place on last Friday, brought enormously
high prices-higher than ever was paid
for negroes in this market before. The
man, twenty-five years old. was bought
by Stephen Allen at 1902 dollars. The
woman, 18 years old, was sold to James
II. jackson for 1889 dollars and the
girl, eleven years old and very small for
her age, brought 700 dollars. It would
not appear that this species of property
is declining any in value here.
