The Democratic State Central Committee, of
Virginia, has named the 3Oth Of November as
the day for holding the gubernatorial oonven.
ton. The Virginia newspapers have for weeks
teemed with nominations of different prominent
Democrats for the Office of governor. The APP
pointment by the central committee of day
and place for the assembling Of the convention
relieves the subject Of one difficulty. All that
remains to be done, is for theconvention to as
semble and make their nominstion,t II is not
of course, for us to make any suggestions as
to who that nominee shall be; but we cannot
be accused oftranscending our legitimate prof.
vince, when we express the earnest hope that
the Democrats Of Virginia will all unite in the
Jealous support of that nominee, whoever he
may be. f,,. tee,,, ~ 81, n
We are aware that much difference of opin-
ion exists as to who should be the candidate
of the party, and that contest Of much acri-.
mony has, for some time past, been going on
between the friends of the different aspirants.
We have also learned that the opponents Of
INC DeMocrHtlc party iegdiu Inior tnSutSu VII
test with high degree of interest. They have
made it the basis Of much expectation. They
hope that this contest will grow into SO bitter
a feud, that the friends Of the numerous candi-
dates for, the nomination cannot be prevailed
on to give any particular aspirant, who may
fortunately secure the nomination, an undi-
vided and harmonious support. These oppo-
nents, we observe, are keeping very quiet as to
their own course. No doubt they have their
conferences and are arranging their plans, but
they keep their secrets to themselves. k4
Knowing the Democracy of the Old Donin-
ion as well as we do, we feel assured all ex-
pectations Of success, based on their divisions
and misunderstanding, have the lightest and
most unsubstantial of all foundations. 3 How
ever much Virginia Democrats may differ as
to a nomination, after that nomination shall
have been made, they will give to it a cordial
and an undivided support. The Democrats of
that ancient Commonwealth are too firm, too
steady, and too deeply rooted in. the faith to
be disturbed and shaken by mere preferences
for individuals. They are also too sagacious
and too discreet to be seduced into any snares
that cunning adyersaries may set for them.

The Military Parade Yesterday was Of an
imposing character. The legion embraced the
following named companies the Washington
Light Iuf,n,ry, The National Grays, the Mont
gomery Guards, the National Guards, the Scott
Guards, the German Yagers, the Boone Rihemen,
and ihe American Rifemen, under The command
of Colonel Hickey. who was accompanied BY his
staff, Lieutenant Colonel Riley, Majors Keyworh,
and Bacon, (ihe latter acting as adjutant) Surgeon
Morgan, and Quarlermasier McCullom. " 4.
The regiment was irst exercised and reviewed
in front Of the City Hall, between eleven and
twelve o'clock in the forenoon, whence the column
moved down Third street, and up Pennsylvania

ing 10 the programmes, afforded an opportunity 10

The legion made, brilliant appearance as il
moved through the streets, TO the music of nstru-

alike, but all were becoming. The more fashy
gear, however, was better adapted TO this holiday
parade than TO close quarters on a battlefield

A sousc In the Canai.-On Tuesday, a man
Internationally backed his horse and cart into the
canal, near It's intersection with New Jersey

tricate the animal, were obliged 70 wade into the
water, almost up to their arm pits, 70 cut the
gearing. Success attended their efforts. It is
almost unnecessary to sayihat when they reached
the bank they were thoroughly chilled, and We're
obliged 10 hasten home 10 change their clothes; a
privilege and a comfort which the horse could not
enjoy . ~ With extreme labor the cart was drawn
TO the land. From this, drivers should learn 10
be more cautious in backing 70 the margin Of
