Virginia Democratic Convention.

Much curiosity is felt in this community to
obtain the earliest intelligence Of the proceed
ings Of this body. The following despatch to
the Baltimore Sun furnishes the only informa-
ton thus far received. Judging from its ten
or, the public expectation may yet be realized
and the convention itself break up in row:
"RIcHMoND, Va, Dec. 1.-The Virginia State
Democratic Convention met at Staunton to-day and
was temporarily organized by the selection Of Col
George Baylor, of Augusta, chairman; VIM. +.
Richie and Robert w. Hughes, secretaries, A
committee of one from each district was appointed
to nominate prominent officers, who reported Os-
car M Crutchfeld, Of Spotsylvania, for president,
and thirteen vice presidents and the secretaries as
above named.
Considerable confusion ensued upon motion to
go into nomination for Governor and a long de-
bate took place upon the rules regulating the cast
ing Of the vote.
Mr. Shackleford moved that the convention do
not make nomination for Governor or Lieutenant
Governor unless the candidates receive vote suf
fcent to represent majority Of the whole Demo
cratic vote Of the State.
Mr.. Garrett offered substitute, that it shall re-
auire majority Of all the votes cast to nominate
candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and
Attorney General. Adopted.
This was considered triumph for Mr.. Wise, his
party being the strongest in the convention.
Exciting times are expected to-day, and an effort
will probably be made further to amend the rule
by adopting the two-thirds rule.
The Democratic vote represented in the conven-
ton is 81 400 The whole vote of the party in the
State is about 10000.

To the Editor of the American Organ
Sir Relying upon your courtesy and sense of
Justice, would ask the favor Of an insertion for
the following brief statement Of facts, derived from
the most authentic source in relation 10 the Mum
chausen stories going the rounds of certain por-
tion Of the press of the country, and originally
started, If not substantially manufactured, by the
Frederick (Md.) Examiner. 1t is surprising that
gentlemen of intelligence and common .candor
would be led into the publication of statements
which are sure to find their refutation, sooner or
later, and which most generally recol upon those
by whom they are put in circulation. This sur
prise Is augmented when we consider that in this
special case the writer in the Examiner must be
aware of the rules and regulations of an institution
distant only eighteen miles from his oftice-must
have known that any member OF the Sisterhood
can leave the moment she desires to do so; and
could have easily possessed himself of all the facts
connected with Miss BIS wonderful escape and
subsequent adventures between the institution and
Creagerstown.
A gentleman Of this city, whose two daughters
were educated in the institution addressed the
Mother Superior in reference to the affair, and,
though that lady naturally shrinks from newspaper
notoriety and has therefore, chosen to remain 81
lent in the face of such base and cruel calumny,
she has, nevertheless, not felt herself at liberty to
refuse complying with the request Of that gentle
man. Mother Superior Hall is connected with
some of the most respectable families in Maryland,
many Of them residing in the adjoining county, and
with the exception Of a few who have become
Catholics, are all Protostants, of piety and stand
ing. She is, besides, well known throughout the
whole country, and her word Is, therefore, suf-
cient guaranty that her statements may be fully
lied on, and she denies the truth of the statements
made by those who speak for Miss Bunkley.

Convict Emigrants.

We commend to the particular attention Of
those Americans who have unwisely arrayed
themselves in hostility to our party, the follow
ing article from the Boston Courier. AS that
paper very properly remarks comment is
Unnecessary"
"The last number of the Edinburg Review con-
tains long and pans-taking article, relating, in
part, to the disposition which is to be made of the
horde Of convicts annually let loose, upon the ex
piration of their terms Of punishment, from the
prisons and hulks of England. The writer con-
siders the topic of the reformatio Of criminals as
one not yet receiving the attention due and regrets
that apathy and mistaken economy on the part of
government lead to the incalculable wrong done to
society by the emancipation of thousands of rep
rebates, who return to their old haunts and vices
with undated activity and craft. The advantage
of getting rid of such class is obvious. But
where send them9 The colonies Of Great Britain
absolutely refuse for the most part, to be swamp
ed by such an humiliation, and no wonder. There
upon, the reviewer, full of liberatng his State
and its dependencies from the curse, hits upon an
idea resembling that of citizen embarrassed
with dead cat which he drops down a neighbours
well. He says send them to Nep York and say
nothing about it; pay their passages, set them
ashore, and see the last ofthem J"

The Snake-bit Irishman.

party of gentlemen having gone on deer
hunt, was greatly annoyed by an Irish Jeremy Did
Ter, who quartered himself upon their camp and
bored them by his idle boasts and abuse of every
thing American, and particular horror. Of all
kinds of snakes and one of the party determined
to take advantage Of his prejudice, with view Of
getting rid of his company. Accordingly, one
night when he was sound snoring" perhaps
dreaming of snakes, the mischievous gentleman
got his hunting knife and going to where the oal
Of a large deer had been thrown, cut of about
seven feet Of the ntestines and securing the ends
with Irvine to retain the contents, tied one end OF
them fast and tight to corner Of Paddy's linen,
that had wandered through a rent in his oh-no-we-
never-mention- ems, coiling II up smoothly by his
side, snake-like and true.
All things thus arranged, the conspirators lay
down again, and at the conclusion Of one Of the
stage-horn SHORES, one Of the gentlemen roared
out at the top of his voice "Huweei hu-weel a
big black snake, eleven feet long, has crawled up
my trowsers, and is tying himself in n double-bow
knot around my bodyh
At the first shout he gave the Irishman furious
dig In the side with his elbow, and kept up run
ming accompaniment on his shins with his heelsl
OF course the noise and hurting awoke him quick
and wide; In the first movement he laid his hand
on the nice cold coil at his side, and he Kissed out
"Jasus!n
Making one bound, that carried him some ten
feet clear of the camp and with force that strait
ened out the coil and it cracked like whip.
Casting one wild, blazing look behind, he tore of
with the rapidty Of lightning around the camp in
circle of forty feet across, and at every bound,
yelling: "Saze himl SAFE him by the tail! Och,
Howly vargin, stop him! Och, St. Patrick, tarc
him till jiblets2 A-wha, a-wha, he's got me fast
hauld, och, an he has? By the Howly Saint he's
mendin his hould, on to me Och, Jasus, gentle
men, take hould on him; catch him Shoot him
in the tail-end, moind%
During this scene, one stood hugging sappling
with both arms and legs, his head thrown back,
screaming with laughter; another lay on the
ground rolling in fits of laughter; another, Fat
Jim stood with his legs about yard apart his
hands holding his lips shouting at intervals of FIVE
seconds, "snakel snakel" and the echo seemed TO
mock him with the return of snake! snake u as
Paddy made the circle Of the camp.
After circling about thirty times, the poor fellow

mingled sounds of "snakel murderl howly virgin |
frei helpln &C., died away in the distance and
the hunters were alone.
"Umph," said one, II thought that snake would
stop his snoring in this camp at any rate"
The next evening Paddy was seen going at a
mighty rate through Knoxville, with bundle on
his arm, and shillaly in the other hand, poking
out his head in half defensive, half exploring at
titudc. He was hailed with (which way Paddyfn
"Strate 10 ould Ireland by Jasus where there

A Curious Incident.

A few months subsequent to the Inauguration
Of President Pierce, Christopher Mcdonnell, the
keeper Of groggery and domino table, who had
made application for position in any one Of the
departments, received yellow kiver informing
him that he had been appointed to twelve hun
bred dollar clerkship. Chris is good natured and
honest Hibernian. We know him we'll, and adj
mire his native simplicity, and Emerald greatness.
He forthwith closed his rancho, reported at head
quarters, and demanded instructions. The chief
clerk assigned him desk alongside certain silk
stocking gentry Paddy was amazed and over
whelmcd But short time had elapsed, since he
had abandoned the Killarney bogg, and now to be
closeted in carpeted room, lean over mahogany
desk, and transcribc with goose quill, 0 it was
beyond his highest aspirations, and, by the faith,
swore Chris, il was beyant his vaich-" misscn-
gers place would do far bother for the likes ohm,
and IL would" And, with regular Irish ingenuity,
he proceeded to negotiate swap; and in the
course Of few hours effected his object, and has
since remained in the happy enjoyment of tho
place of his own choice.
We record the above a. a curious incident now
a-days, when there areso few, especially foreigners
who are willing to acknowledge their un6tness for
any position. But this Is not all. A nativc-born
American citizen was removed TO make room for
the genuine Irishman, and he himself repudiated
the offer, because he was Incompetent to discharge
the duties of evena copying clerk. JABEz.

TROUBLE IN ANOTHER CATHOLIC CHURcH.-The
congregation of the Catholic Church at Elizabeth
town, n j., are in trouble about their priest and
sexton. They have issued an address calling upon
the members not to contribute another cent to the
church until the sexton is expelled Contribu-
school, and purchase burial ground, have been
literally made by them, but no improvements were
made-no children's school was opened and the
graveyard obtained was covered with water by
every rain, and then no grave could be procured,
even by contributors, until they paid $26 for it.
The sexton refused to make any explanation, left
his business and became more active in politics,
&C., against the wish of the congregation, and en-
deavored, in one two instances, to prevent mass
being read by another priest, 80 that the church
had to be opened by force They also charge the
priest with suppressng the directions Of the bishop
to have committee appointed to take charge Of
the affairs of the church.
