Notwithstanding that Sam had achieved victo-
ries in the North, knew he could not meet the
masses Of the people in their primary assemblages
in Virginia i knew he could not stand before the
pibroch and trump of liberty. He might live in
the land Of the secret ballot but he could not sur
yive the ripa vocs Of the people Of Virginia. By
that voice Sam was overwhelmingly conquered In
the Old Dominion Wiss's spssch AZ Washington
Yes, there we have It. The people cannot rule
where the viya poce vote is in the way, and Mr..
Wise rejoices over the fact. The vipa voce vote
comes in TO trample upon the rights and individual
opinions of the man. That Is the thing to bring
up the masses with, and by which the timid are to
be overawed. The money Of the government can
be used, % II was used in the late election, and
men know by the vote whether the voter had per.
formed his part Of the contract II can be used TO
compel party hacks TO keep in the traces, 1t can
be used by employers TO make their workmen vote
right by landlords to whip in their tenants, by
creditors TO- control their debtors, by banks to
show whom they are TO favor. A glorious thing,
this viva voce VOTE for the aristocratc Democracy
of Virginia. Sing pssans to the viva voce vote,
and then publish the names Of those who attempt
to think for themselves. - Wheeling Times.
A TERRIBLE HAIL SroRx--On the 18th ult., q
terrible hail storm passed over Pickens district, s.
9. The Columbia Times says;
It is extended about two miles in width, and
ragged with great fury, killing hogs, fish, birds,
FOWLS and insects manning and bruising the cattle,
and stripping vegetation Of every vestige above
ground. The growing crops, with the exception
Of corn, are completely ruined. r. Stewart, Esq,
informs us that on the third day after it's fall the
hail was from one totwo feet deep, and, in many
places, six feet. The average depth on q level,
utter the storm, was four inches.
MAGNOLIA SPRMas.--We have often met with
the remark, g Is it possible that there can be sui
phur water or alum water in these lowlands of Vr-
ginia, where there are no mountain ranges Of min
eral, no broken strata of the enamellng of the
mighty earth"
To this we answer, as did Philip, "come and
see." The Salt Sulphur Spring near Suffolk, (Jor-
dams, is now pouring fourth an unfailing supply
Of hygienic fluid, and to our taste it is precisely
the same in quality and favor as the most highly
praised water Of the same character in our noun
tain Businesses. And the chemists all say for 1t
fully as much as we do. 1t is comfort to the
valitudnarians of our place and vicinage, that
they can obtain this health giving fluid at their
doors in all the freshness Of its virgnity
argus.
A SUccEssrUL yoYAaE--The ship Geo. Wash
ington, Capt Pardon G. Edwards, returned to this
port yesterday, from q whaling voyage to the
Ochotsk Sea, having taken, in three seasons 1000
bbls Of whale oil and rs Of sperm oil, the largest
quantity ever taken by any wkaler during single
cruise. A portion Of the oil has been sent home
during the voyage. The Geo. Washington sailed
hence in November, 1851, and Is owned by /.
Rowland, Jr., & Co., the oldest and one of the
most successful houses in this city.

The SEAsoS.--We regret to hear that the pros
pect for wheat is by means good in this region,
nor In large extent of the surrounding country.
Half crop Is the largest amount hoped for by the
most sanguine husbandmen. We are grat:fed to
learn, however, that In the Western States there
are more encouraging signs, and that abundance
may yet crown the efforts of honest labor. OF
the corn crop 1t is altogether too early to form
opinion; but If the old sign of abundant locust
bloom be not deceptive, the yield win be all that
the heart can desire. plentiful supply Of corn

BARRARous-- Of our friends was being
shaved at Antwerp. The barber was n female.
What was bis surprise, when he saw the good lady
spit into the boz, and besmesr his face with the
foaming salvai
An expressive grimace did not escape the she
barber.
Ny dear sir" said she, 81 don't treat you as
do my other customers, because / perceive very
well that you do not belong to these parts-"

ting in the soap box."-Oomrier des Etats Unis.
Henry W. Bcecher calls Garrison "my dear
brother Garrison" and Mr.. @. publishes oommu-
nicaton in his Liberator, which says: II God has
the power to abolish slavery and does not he Is q
very great scoundreL" II Is evident something
else needs abolishing besides slavery.
