The Lynchburg Yirginian. Wing pa
per, says:-
"Although.claimed as Wing victories,
we can find no cause of graduation in the
result of the recent elections in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. We find no
cause of graduation. because the claim Of
success for the Wing party is unfortunate
" unfounded. None of the great nation
al and undying principles Of. that party
have guided the issues in these States
They have all been left in allegiance and
overlooked for miserable and destructive
local or sectional isms, at war with the in
tegrity, of our institutions. Their only
practical tendency, as We understand it,
IS to weaken, at the cost of promoting to
spells and place few despicable political
hucksters. those bonds of fraternal union
between the North and South, which ev-
cry patriot should strive tostrengthen and
perpetuate.
"A fanatical mania seems to have taken
possession of the minds.of the people OF
the Northern States. 1t cannot be that
they calmly and dispassionately mean to
execute those designs of aggression upon
the rights of the South, whether abstract
or not, which are evidenced in their pres
ent anti-Nebraska. or rather anti-Slavery
and anti- Union movements. If not, they
should halt in their career Of madness
A repeal of the fugitive slave law, or the
restoration oEthe Missouri line, cannot be
accomplished. 1t is madness to suppose
it; but a factious majority in Congress.

sures, can very rfa3ily seer tie bonds of
The te1leral compact, and perpetuate the in
stINutions of slavery now and forever, from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande.. and the
PacFc. The Southern States have been
calm on this subject; but the people of the
North should not mistake the repose OF
unanimily and determination for inditfer-
ence. Scarcely breath heralds the wild
bursting Of the tornado. We caution them

MODEL BANKrxG SYsrE@.-A letter states
that of the Banks of Indiana I" there are
two or three the entire body corporatcs
of which are carried in the hats of the
owners" Some banks arc situated in in.
accessible parts of the State, where it will
require weeks journey on horseback to
reach them, and therefore The notes can
not be protested. These banks figure
with large capitals in the statement pub
lished a few days since. II is probable
the capitals thus stated are not in exist
ence, as the Inhabitants Of these inacces-
sible parts of the Stale do not get many
discounts. Sill their notes are sown
broad cast over many parts of the West
ern States, initiating prices of almost eve
ry article to the highest pitch then fall
ing almost worthless upon the hands OF
their deluded holders, and finally bought
up at a heavy discount by the very spec
ulators who originally issued them and re-
ceived dollar for dollar. Verify, this In /.
diana Free Banking system may we'll be
termed '"free swindling."

AFFECTING RoMANcE.-The Whitehall!
IN. w Chronicle records the death OF "A
Young man named. Dennis Bryan, from
having his slegs crushed by car, and
adds:
70 After his mangled limbs had been am
putated his mind aroused to the terrible
consciousness that lie must die and he i'm
plored the bystanders to send for his
Lucy.'' Where is she ? l must see
her'befere l die--let me see her and l
can die in peace" were his frequent
calculations and .entreaties. His parents
we're asked what he meant-if he was
married-to which they replied that he
was not, and that they knew nothing Of
the person lie named as Ibis Lucy
After his death it came to light that he
had been married about three months to
one of the first families in Lansinburgh.
His wife's parents had opposed their mar
rage ON the ground OF his lack of means
aud the consequence Of this opposition
was, the young couple were clandestinely
united and their marriage kept profound
secret. Young Bryan had placed all his
earnings. $3.50, in the hands of his wife,
Il being tlleir intention when $500 had
accumulated to publicly announce their
marriage. But, alas the day on which
they 'intsni ed to thus claim and expected
to receive the forgiveness of offended pa
rents neyet arrived.

Tnv CHERoKs NArIoa-Me ttiRlg Of tks

THE CHERoKEE n ALTON Netting Of tss
Council. Ross, President of the
Cherokee Nation. sent to the National
Council. on the Cd of October, his annual
message. He refers. in the opening par
agraph, to The necessity of seeking the
guidance Of that Being who holds the dss-
TIMES of nations and individuals under HIS
supreme control, and then directs atten-
ton to the fact that during the past Sea-
son many portions of the country have
been visited with severe drought. "Fruis-
full showers have been withheld; the crops
have been cut short, and it is seriously
apprehended that among portions OF the
people there will be great destitution, and
III NAV become necessary to devise some
means for their relief" He congratulates
them, however, that in some locations the
crops have been very abundant, atfording
the hope that supplies tor the relief of the
destitute may be found within their own
borders.
The message then pays proper tribute ?
to the memory of Thomas Foreman aud
Walter Adair, two distinguished Chero-
KEGS, who have departed this life within
the past year, and sketches their pubEtc
services. At the time ofstheir death they
were professors of the Christian religion.
The condition of their national finances
lis adverted to, and they are represented
as being in depressed state.
The public schools are in prosperous
condition, and their value is.every year
becoming more and. more duly apPrecia-
ted. The superintendent reports the al
tendance much larger Than duriag the pre-
ceding year, and that in most of the schools
there is laudable ambition to make such
advances as viii secure their admission
into the seminaries.

ing the third affair of the kind which has
originated in that city within two weeks.
The combatants were two young men. one
merchant in South St, New York, the

beautiful young lady residing in Brooklyn,
to whom each made professions. They.

There was = handsome house near one OF

because a delestabIe fever seized upon
every family that lived in il. A ready
witted observer promised the owner to
find out the cause. He traced the mis-.
chief to one room and presently coniec-
tured what was the matter there. He
let a slip Of glass into the wall, and found
it the next day dimmed with a footed con-
densed vapor He tore down strip Of
paper and discovered abundant cause for
any amount of fever. For generations
the walls had been covered afresh with
out the removal of any thing underneath;
and there was the putrid size and the
fermented old paper, inches deep. A
thorough clearance put an end sto the
fever, and restored the value Of the house.
