Judge Campbell.

We observe that one or two papers are endeav-
orng 10 create the impression that the appointment
OF Judge CAMPBELL as Attorney General o: this
Stale by Gov. BGLER, and the supposition through
his recommendation and influence the former was
placed in the Cabinet Of Gen. PIERCE, has had great
effect in producing The late disastrous result in
Pennsylvania. How far this may have affected
certain localities we have no means OF Judging ;
but as far as we have any knowledge, the assertion
is totally wi,hou, foundation. We speak more par
tIcularly of the North, where Gov BIGLER's vote
has fallen of, very materially and where this
cause assigned has not had the slightest influence
When Judge CAMPBELL was candidate before
the people, the North sustained him nobly, and
grieved when treachery struck him down. II is
not likely that the same section would now urge
his elevation as reason tor opposing Gov. BICLER
On the contrary, we know many men who have
allowed their friendship for Judge CAMPBELL 10
mitigate their opposition 10 the Administration of
which he is member, but who utterly ard totally
condemn its policy.
This charge is not only unjust and unfair, but il
is put forward 10 hide the true Of our dsas
trous overthrow. Antipaihy 10 no man could
have produced that result, and though there may
have been those who desired the selection of some
other man as Post Master General yet that The pres
enl incumbent has faithfully and imparlially dis.
charged The duties OF his post, all concede, and that
done, all just cause OF complaint ceases.
We make these remarks az simple act of JUS
lice 10 Judge CAMPBELL; we have not received nor
shall we ask any iavors from him. Our best en-
ersles shall be devoted 10 the overthrow of any
administration favoring the designs of Slavery
but in anything affecting their personal character,
or standing at home, will ever be ready 10 do all
men justice.

BY this Sudden alfeton fond father and devo-
ted mother have been bereft of an only son, II
devoted child Just in the bloom of youth. In the
death if this amable and lovely youth,we are re-
minded of the uncertainty of life, and that no
age, however bnoyant, and no promise however
rare, can shield us from the rude hand of death
The writer well knew the deceased and would
offer his warmest and most sincere feelings Of
sympathy into the bleeding hearts of the bereaycd
parents and pour the oil of consolation, trusting
that these affections may work out for them far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Afflicted parents cease to mourn,
Though death has snatchcd your only boy;
His spirit was by Angels bourne,
Into an eternal realm of joy.

In childhoods sweet unsullied day,
Ere sin and care had cast blight
Upon her spirits joyous light.

Is sure to drop and perish first,
And whom the blessed Lord loves best
Are soonest gathered to his breast.

unfitness for the mournful duty he is attempting

knew him but TO admire and TO love him. Mod.
est and unobtrusive almost to fault he could
not be appreciated except by those who were
brought, either by the ties of kindred or of early

The Virginia State Cadets

We learn with pleasure, that the corps of ca
diets from the Virginia Military Institute at Lex
ington, will pay a visit to our city Tomorrow
and we feel assured that the authorities will not
fail to give hearty welcome to those intere sting
young strangers. 1t may not be without inte-
rest to our readers to allude briefly to the origin
of this school in Virginia. The arsenal of the
State at Lexington, had been for many wears
sustained, at public expense, by State guard
composed OF eighty men--a system attended
with much Inconvenience, and but little advan-
tage. AT the suggestion of Col. Francis H.
Smith the present able superintendent of the
institute, the Legislature dispensed with the form
er system, and established in its stead the pres
ent military academy, thus securing a compe-
tent force at the arsenal, and at the same time
educating more than eighty other young sons
annually, not only in the principles and practice
ct military science, but in all the branches of
liberal college education. The scheme has 50
tar been eminently successful, and will be of
vast Importance in supplying trained and dis
Giplned officers TO the State when demanded for
