TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1854.

KicHMosD.-The following just and libs-
raj tribute to this city, is from that excellent
and patriotic journal, the Rockingham Re-
gisfer. Every word that it says of Rich
mond is truth. The pages of her public
press, the records Of legislative action, are
| filled with evidences that Richmond is not
hostile, but friendly to those very sections of
the State in which she is so often, so vindic
lively, so senselessly abused. We thank our
friends of the Register most heartily for the
honorable contrast they have afforded to
the journals which make Richmond the
theme of their eternal yituperation:
Some of the other cities of the State are very
much la the habit OF abusing Richmond, and charac
tsrizing her selfish and grasping She 10 charged
with trying BY all sorts fmeans to shape the leeis
iaton OF the State SO as to enure TO her especial
benefit. to the injury Of all other places. We do
not believe q word OF all this. Richmond 10 enter
prising and enegetic and she OF course endeavors,
as she ought. 10 secure to herself as many advan-
tages she can but wed do not believe that she en-
tertains any hostility 10 the other towns of the State
Her delegates are always among the most liberal
supporters OF Internal Improvement. They do not
confne Themselves to those improvements which
will benefit their own city, but they support cordial
y schemes for the advancement of all parts Of the
Commonwealth. tf
Richmonc pays one-eieventh of the revenue of
the State and she pays it without erudge She has
expended more than a million of dollarsin Inter
nal Improvement and is now beginning to reap the
rewards OF her hberaiity Success, say we to liberal
Richmond Rockingham Register.
PARTIES IL NEW YoRK.-An article in the
New York Herald gives the eight separate
tickets of eight different parties in New York
for the coming State election. There are'
however, but four candidates for Governor:
Bronson, Seymour, Clark, and Goodall. The
Seward candidate, Clark, is adopted by the
free Democrats or Free-Soiiers proper, by the
Saratoga coalitionists, by The Saratoga sece-
ders, and by the Temperance party.
The Herald says that this formidable Goa
lition will completely sweep the field, unless
the divided Democracy of New York unite,
of which there is now no probability. 1t APP
pears that although the Central State Com
mittee of each of the Democrstie factions
have had meeting on the same day ut AL
bany, there were no oYertures of a fasion
from either side
The Herald predicts that nothing short of
a new National union and constitutional or
ganization will save the country from the ru-
inousgrasp of proud Northern anti slavery
alliance.
1t is time that the people of the South
should be calmly preparing to protect them
selves from the consequences of these peri
lous movem ents. If we have among us any
statesmen worthy of the name, now is the
time for them to concert measures for such
united counsel and energetic action as viii
save them, or if that be impossible, will save
the South

Iihat they can do nothing towards obtain.
ing an improved breed Of animals sbecause
staey cannot afford to avail themselves of
or superior animals TO begin

improved breeds commanding high prices
must lave sprung originally from com
mon stock. Some particular male or &C.
male must have been selected for some
special good quality, and this good quail
sty would be inherited mo. or less by the
progeny of that particular animal. This
must have been the starting point Of the
most celebrated breeds of doncs,ica,ed
animals. Certain animals having some
especial superiority, IRust have been selec.
ted for breeding; and this quality being
sought after and ai"Ied at from genera

The Miseries of New York,

A number of hotels and restaurants
make a practice of distributing the fras-
ments OF food collected from the tables, TO
the poor, at regular hours, every afternoon.
by observing how this is done, any. curl
GUS person can readily obtain. some in
sight into the miseries Of the city. BY
the same process, a partial cue may be
had to the so called" mysteries " Of New
York, which have always afforded pro
lihc theme for scribblers. The place where
these bounties are to be dispensed, is in.
dictated sometime in advance by tile throng
of wretched looking people who eagerly
crowd around, with baskets, aprons, &C.,
i'll which 10 bear away the expected gifts.
The bIoated imebriale, totteripg creatures
enfeebled by disease, as we'll as many
young girls, acting ~ agents for others
who remain in their own garrets and cell
lars-are all represented. On the first
appearance Of the provisions, which form
complete chowder of bread, meats, pas
try. lobster, fish and vegetables, a general
rush is made, which has often to be forci-
bly, repclcd. With large scoop, bro
ken plate, or something of the kind, a
quantity Of Tie mixture is thrown into
each elor receptacle extended to ~
ceiye il, with all possible rapidity--the
crowd meanwhile pressing closer and clio
ser, until again forced into the back
ground. Every device Is resorted to in or
der to secure double portion. A COM
mon trick is to have basket placed on
one side, into which each fresh instalment
is deposite until no more can be procured.
Another will have a capacious bag or ap-
ron suspended from the waist, secure from
observation, while the contents of the ex-
tended basket or dish are slyly thrust in
to it unnosiced. Some, in this manner,
obtain the lions share, while the weak
sick or decrepid, are turned of empty
