"skies Bright, and Frightening"
MoRoAsrows, Va, April 20, 1851

MoRoAsrows, VA, April 20, 1855.
Mr. EDITOR cannot refrain from giving the
friends of Sam, Mt Washington and elsewhere a
short synopsis Of the proceedings had to-day in our
midst. The Hon. VIM. G. Brown, OF Preston,
held forth to-day to the unterifed, and made his
last shot He was listened to with great attention
for about two hours, when the name Of w. T.
Wiley was called for Mr. Wiley is well known,
aud deservedly too as an able champion of equal
rights and American freedom Although not a
member of the American party proper, he is
whole team, as a debator and close reasoner. You
may depend upon it, the camp.fres in Western
Virginia are burning brightly; and Sam, by the
ides Of May, will astonish the natives" both in
the Old Dominion and out of it. sot
As the election draws near the interest grows
more and more intense. The American party was
never in a more prosperous condition than at this
present moment. The people have been greatly
harangued by the olficehunters and demagogues
of the opposition. They have become tired OF it
and are now taking their sober second thoughts,
which viii tell on the fourth Thursday Of May.
While Sam was being demolished by Mr.. Brown
to-day, he was busy taking of his children in
another part of the town--and he done what is
called Land Office business You may rest
assured that Western Virginia wiz do all you ex-
pect her to do in furnishing her portion to hand
somely defeat Wise. Ispeak from the books.
Yours, &C., III SEMPER.

HALIFAX CoURr HOUSE,, Va, April 2Sd, 1so5.
This has been great day with sam Nathaniel
C. Claiborne, ESQ, the American candidate for
Congress from this district, had made an appoint
ment 10 address the citizens of Halifax, but owing
TO the death Of sister, few days since, he was
prevented from ful6llingit. His locofoco opponent
the Hon Thos s. Bocock, having already met Mt.
Claiborne once or twice, concluded that Sam NJ
general and Nat in particular, were rather hard
customers to deal with, and therefore sent his pu
gilistic friend Chas. Irving Esq, OF Lynchburg, 70
bear little of Mats laundering artillery NOT
withstanding Mr.. Claiborne's absence, Mr. Irving
delivered himself of quite large volume OF gas
and vulgar anecdotes, which no doubt greatly re-
lieyed the gentleman and enabled him TO rest more
at ease afterwards. His was q mighty funny
speech. II was really very funny indeed, especi-
ally to himself and all the little boys; and would
very probably have made even Mr. Wise laugh,
had he heard him eulogizing the great military
valor and strategem he (Wise) displayed In the old
oat field in Accomac.
As to the effect produced by Mr.. Irving, can
say nothing. Every argument he attempted to
make and even tho few good anecdotes he told
were completely refuted and destroyed by our old
friend and fellow-countrynIan, Mr.. David Chalmers,
who followed in q short spirit OF marked ability
and wit. The fact that this gentleman is a worthy
descendant of old DR.. Thomas Chalmers, Is SUI
icient guarantee that any carse which he under
takes 70 defend will not suffer.
But the best part Of the days work is that while
Mr.. Irving was numbering away so furiousiy, the
sons Of Sam were busily engaged In introducing
new members into the old gentlemans household.
They commenced taking IN about ii o'clock,
and continued until it was so late in the evening,
that they became almost exhausted and had to
close doors.
The American party is doing finely here. tits con-
denty believed that Fournoy will get as large, i
not larger vote than Wise in this county although
it gave Pierce majority Of 500 over Scott

Two Children Nearly Starved to Death
shocking Cruelty.

A most shocking Instance of inhuman dcpravity
has Just transpired in Covington, Kentucky. II
seems that the wife Of an Irishman recently died,
leaving an infant boy and two girls, three and
Eve years of age. The husband soon after her
death married again, introducing into his family
the wretch who, with 6endlike GOODNESS, set her
self Immediately at work to destroy the lives Of
the little ones to whom she ought to have been q
mother. g
The youngest of the three died but week or
two after her entrance into the family, but with an
atrocty scarcely concevable--one would not suf-
fee she must destroy the Others This she under
took to do by Withholding their food, with an OBJ
vious intention Of starving them to death Fortu-
nately the means of the little ones were heard from
without and vague rumors getting afoat that all
was not right within, and reaching the ears of the
council, it was resolved to send committee to In
vestigate the matter. They went last evening, and
not an hour too early. Entering the house they
found the step-mother at home, but on enquiry for
the children, she told them they were asleep and
could not be disturbed.
This did not satisfy the committee, and on
searching the house, they found a door TO one OF
the rooms locked Hearing faint cries within, they
instantly broke down the doors and entered.
What sight met their eyesl There were two
children, infants, their flesh as white as death, and
drawn tightly over the bones each feature defined
with the vividness Of corpse, while their eyes
were almost bursting from their sockets.
As the gentlemen composing the committee were
Withdrawing from the house with their precious
charge, the female aend informed them that they
might as well leave the children, she had plenty
OF food for them.
On arriving at safe quarters with theunfortunate
infans, warrants were Immediately issued for the
arrest Of the woman, and man who calls her wife !;
but the officers on visiting the spot again, found
that the birds had flown neither the man nor female
being about the premises. ~
p. S.-Latest information renders it probable
that the children may survive. Their condition,
however, Is critical Cincinnati Times.

INTERIOR DEPARrAENr. Bounty Land Claims.
Circular 70 the Officers and Age,,ts ofthe De-
partaent Of. the Inteior.--The following circular,
IL will be seen from the date has Just been issued
to the officers and agents Of the Department Of
DEPARTMENT og THE INrERIoR,
Washington, April 20, 1855.
Sm: In view Of the large number Of bounty
land warrants about to be issued by this depart
ment under q recent law Of Congress granting ad-
ditionh bounty land for military services, and the
tendency to speculation which will thereby be en-
gendered, deem il proper TO admonish the Off
cers and agents Of this department of the impro-
priety of their becoming Interested in any such
traffic.
Dealing in land warrants or scrip by officers of
the general government, whose official positions
give them advantages over private eitisens--and
few, II any, occupy positions which do not to a
greater or less degree, afford peculiar privileges
and offer corresponding temptations-it Is an obvi.
GUS abuse Of official station; and even where the
officer possesses no such unusual facilities the
picion Of neglect of duty which private speculation
naturally excites In the public mind tends TO de-
stroy that confidence which II should be the ambi-
| ton of every ofhcer to command.
| While the practice, thus deprecated, may not be
generally and expressly inhibited by the strict let
ter Of the law, it is, in the estimation Of the de-
partment, rs manifssty inconsistent with its spirit
as il Is improper; and with these views the sub
ject, 1t Is hoped and expected that no officer or
other employee of this department, OF whatever
grade, will engage in a pursuit which cannot fail
| to bring odum upon himself and the government
be represents; and none who do will have cause
of surprise or complaint at withdrawal from them
Of the confidence which induced their appoint
| ment.
You are requested to inform the department OF
