Essex AKD KE0 AND QUEEs.--Ffom these coun-
ties We have the most hattering accounts. Col
Roane, the candidate in opposition % Mr.. Garnett
viii be elected triumphantly. The State ticket
win also be strongly supported. A friend writes
US that the Know Nothings are as thick as grass
hoppers' in that section.
KlKe WILLIAM.--In this stronghold OF Anti-
americans, Sam has gained a foothold, and
nothing can prevent his making inroads into the
Wise camp. We are informed that after the re-
cent discussion between Messrs. Scott and caskie,
at the Court House last Monday that the family of
Samuel was considerably increased.
ORASGE.--We learn that Orange also promises
good report in May, notwithstanding the vigor-
GUS assaults made upon the portly person of Sam
last Monday, by at least half dozen Of the Wise
men ofae East.
The editor Of the Southside Democrat is canvass
ing in that region having laid down the pen and
taken to the stump. i9
NELSON From this county, the news is Of the
most encouraging character. Flournoy and Lyon
will carry the county by over 400 majority. The
greatest enthusiasm prevails. 1850
CULPEPER.-From this county, we hear but one
expression of opinion. The vote has been close
heretofore sometimes forty or fifty for the Demo-
cratic ticket, and again as much for the Wing.
In May, Sam will certainly carry il by 200 majority
FAUQuIER. Sam tells the same tale here His
family connexions run extensively throughout
every county and this vicinity. Fauquier will
give Hournoy the largest vote ever given against
any party or candidate.
RAppAHAsKocK.--Fairfa King George, Lou
doun and Spottsylvania will give vote against
Wise that viii also astonish the natyes--a loss of
not less than 1000 votes in these five counties to
the Wise party.
We say this not to boast but merely to give the
friends Of Mr.. Wise forcshadowing of what is to
come. What we express on this subject we know !;
not mere speculation, but conclusions drawn from
facts and figures in our possession.
PErERsBURG.-The charter elections take place
in this city on Monday next The American par
ty have nominated most excellent ticket, every
way worthy of the support Of every true American.
With long pull and strong pull it can certainly

Mr.. Carey says "Ths more gold that comes
from Cslifornis, the poorer We shall become under
a system that closes the mills and furnaces Of the
country-thst destroys the power Of association
and that causes demand for expectation Of all the
gold that we receive; for with every step in that
direction We are increasing the power Of other
nations to produce chesply both cloth and Iron,
while Diminishing our own"
Our legislators at Washington should remember
this; but their Efforts at the late session were
mainly directed so far AZ the tariff Is concerned TO
reduce the duties on foreign goods instead of main
tanning rigid AMERICAN system. Under such legis.
lston, our cotton and woolen factories in New Eng
land are compelled 10 labor to great disadvantage

This sotorious individual we take to be the chief
Of the anti American party. The Know Nothing"
or American party subdued or annihilated, what
party is there in existence, which can prevent the
election Of Seward to the Presidency in 1856 /? We
have put this question to many Democrats, and
never got satisfactory answer. 1t cannot be
answered. The war upon the Know Nothings, is
war for Stewards advancement. Will the En-
quirer tell us what party can defeat Seward, II the
Know Nothings do not? The electoral majority
lies at the North, and the Democrats have not the
ascendency in single northern State Richmond

The London Times of the 18th has the following
In reference to the recent sporting defalcstion,"
which, il says "has weIl-ngh superseded the
Crimea In the mouths Of the Londoners."
The transactions in which the Hon. Francis John
Robert villiers the fourth son Of the Earl Of Jer
sey, is said 70 have been engaged, have affected
the interests OF so many persons, and the amount
TO which he has carried his pecuniary operation
considerably beyond sl00, 000--is stated 70 be so
heavy, that longer concealment Of compromise IL
simply out Of the question. Here Is paragraph
we find In the columns Of an evening contemporary.
"Ifit were not the merest waste Of delicacy 70
use further disguise regarding the event which has
formed for some days past perhaps, the principal
subject Of conversation in society, the position Of
Mr.. Francis Villiers as a member Of Parliament
would justify that open reference which cannot be
long postponed. Without speaking more infinitely
Of the unfortunate affair, we may state that Il s Of
a character TO create a vacancy in the represents
ton Of Rochester. On learning tho circumstances
alluded to- Mr.. Villiers's Tory supporters, We are
told by the Southeastern Gazette, had meeting
at which deputation was appointed 70 wait on
the honorable gentleman and call upon him 10 re-
sign his seat Everything had been arranged for
the departure Of the deputation' 70 London, when
IL occurred to one Of them, more sagacious than
the rest, that the difficulty was where 10 find
him. and, this remark taking every one by sur
prise, the deputation broke up in disgust"
The only addition to the Information we would
offer as from ourselves Is the confirmation Of the
statement that this event 81 has formed for scme
days past the principal subject of conversation In
society," Mr.. Francis yilliers, as we before said
10 the fourth son Of the Earl Of Jersey He was
born In 1919 He was educated at Eton, entered
the army in 1887, obtained his company in 1e43
and leff the army in ls47. During the period Of
his service he was Aid-de-Camp in Canada, and
afterwards In Ceylon and finally Military Secretary
at Madras. What could fortune and high family
do more for single man. II is 70 be hoped that
some fitting answer may be given to the exposure
now threatened.

Removal Of J. r. Polk, ESQ.

The removal of j. +. Polk, Esq, from clerk
ship in the Treasury Department, is officially
announced in the Union of this morning. Mr..
Polk was first appointed by General jackson,
in the year 1881, and has enjoyed the conf
dence Of every succeeding administration. lie
is, and has always been Democrat. A more
worthy or efficient clerk has not probably
filed desk in any department of the govern
ment since its organization. He is moreover
man Of learning a sincere Christian, and an
accomplished gentleman. But he is firm
and unwavering Protestant, and has freely and
ably employed his pen in exposing the assump-
tons, the impostures, and the corruptions of
the Church Of Rome. Herein, and In nothing
else, is his offence He has been removed from
office by this administration, merely because
he has written and spoken in defence of the
religion Of Luther aud Melancthon, Of Taylor
and Barrow, Of Wesley and Whiteheld, Of Ed
wards and Dwight, Of White and Madison,
and Moore For this cause and for this cause
alone, has Josiah f. Polk, Protestant been
removed from Office, and s. @. Ford, bigoted
Roman Catholic appointed in his placel
In another column will be found commu-
nication from Mr.. Polk himself on the subject

lent manner that they could not be held by
strong men.
The writer whom quote says Zone
might be tempted to think that the climax
had already been reached, but there was a
piece Of extravaganza TO complete the degra-
dation Of human nature. The 'barks' ire.
quentlt accompanied the jerks though Of
later origin. This exercise consisted in tue
individual taking the position Of dog, mo-
wing about on all fours, growing, Swapping
his teeth, and barking with such exactne>s

were not directed TO the spot" Ali casse,
became affected by this degrading mania, and
the only method Of securing relief was TO
engage in the voluntary dance. twas sup
posed first TO be inflicted as a chastsement
for remsness in duty. Such as resisted the
impulse and declined the dancing continued
to be tormcn,ed !or months ard even wears
From being regarded as marks Of guilt, the
barks at last come to be regarded as tokens
Of divine favor and badges Of social honor.
"RldicuIous as it may seem tous al this dis

sounds as bow, WOW, WOW, inters persed
with pious ejaculations and quotations of
Scripture, we are not At liberty TO doubt the
truth Of the assertion that then the fleet, or

the wicked and excite the lninds of the i'm

In the midst o. these disorders. those
preachers who labored to direct the minds
OF the people to true marks Of grace We're
denounced as deistcal, and thus their iniiu-
ence was greatly diminished. Some OF the
results were, the people would be singing
half dozen hymns at the same time, very
loud, with violent motions Of the body
Sometimes dozen would be praying at the
same time, for they said the Lord could hear
even if they all spoke at once. The preach
