How IT WAS DoNE.-We see it stated in
our exchanges that Flournoy,the Know Moth
ing candidate for Governor of Virginia, re-
ceived 10000 votes, and Wise, the anti Know
Nothing candidate 10000. If this be true,
Virginia has polled an aggregate vote OF
10000 which is forty thousand more
than ever poled in the State before!-
MIR. Foarnoy received 5000 votes more than
the Know Nothings counted for him, and
with the usual votes of the State would have
been elected by 10000 minority. Our
readers can form their own conjectures as to
where the 10000 excess of votes which give
Mr.. Wise the election came from!

A PICTURE OF HENRY A. WISE.

The Hon. Henry A Wise, lately made a
speech at Parkersburg, Va. A correspon.
deptsof tire McCollville Enquirer, who heard
him thus writes his impress of the man:
81 was disappointed in the personal appear
ance .ofthe man. had expected in Henry A.
Wise tosee man Of commanding stature,
Liapright Bearing, with flashing eyes and noble
frehe but he is no such man. He is the
medium height not more than five feet, seven
or eight inches, very spare, would not weigh
more than l30, probably not that.
There is'nothing prepossessing about him.
He is, in fact, positively ugly. Very gentle
manly and courteous in his bearing towards
others, but in his dress is almost sloven
. .llis',cravat Mas awry, his lnnen was soied
with tobacde, his chin unshaven and fanked
with stocks eof yellew saliva his clothing
rather hung around him than otherwise.

trslessgrey eyes, that rolled with a nervous
u1easnessjn their deep sockets; high cheek
Bones, and complexion saffron hued from his
inordinate use Of tobacco; stooping carriage
and trembling gait did not indicate the great
man.
When first saw Wise on the stand during
the few moments of his opening remarks, as
he stood before us, his shoulders dropping and
bent forward, his chin and shirt bosom spat-
tered with tobacco juice, those dull eyes roll
ing expressionless in their deep sockets, his
long grey hair tossed unkempt about temples,
his arms hanging listlessly by his side, look
ing for all the world like ressurrected mum.

with a voice that rung as clear as the notes
of the war clarion, he made his thrilling ap
peal with passionate intensity of manner

my life have listened to such an appeal it
set the blood dashing through my veins like
mountain torrent.

Virginian present. You could see in their

hear in the response that made walls tremble

multitude.

sy" The most important town on the Sea
of Azoff is that of Tanganrog, with 10000
inhabitants. 1t forms the depot for the pro-
duce of the southeast of Russia. The town
was founded by Peter the Great. Amongst
its public buildings are remarkable the Ad.
miraty, the Marine Hospital, the Quarantine
Building, the Bank, and the College 1t has
an exchange, and about ITO warehouses;
The fort or citadel which protects the town
is said to be in state of decay. Taganrog
has 26 vessels of a larger description, and 6S4
for the coast navigation. The harbor is only
accessible for vessels of inconsiderabe draft.
1t was here that the Emperor Alexander died,
on the lst of December, 1925
Simpherophol, against which Gen. Peiis-
sier's movements appear to be directed, is the
capital of the Crimea 1t counts $4,000 in
habtants, of which from 5000 to 6,OO0 are
Tartars. The town is situated on the base
of the Tauran mountain chain. 1t is de-
scribcd as well built, and presenting, with the
villas surrounding it, a beautiful aspect. 1t
contains six churches, amongst which the
cathedral is remarkable for being built in good
architectural taste. The town has also n
Russian College, four other schools and sew
eral factories. 1t is central, and consequently
most important point in regard to the trade
in the productions of the Crimca. It's acqui-
sition by the allies would prove, therefore, a
great advantage, as it would make it possible
to thus draw supplies from the resources of
the country, which they have hitherto been
unable to effect. General Pelissier has told
his soldiers that they would receive for this
march upon Simpherophol only four days
provisions, as on the fifth they must be in the
town. But as yet he has not been able to
cross the Tchernaya.

BETTING ON SEBAsTOPoL.-We have heard
of bets between sangune subjects of Victoria
and non.sympathizing, Americans on the
news which the Asia would bring. The
English Bulls" bet that the Asia would
bring news that the Allies were in possession
OF Sebastopol. The American "Bears" bet
that she would not, and have won. The
same Bulls" also offered to bet that the Al
lies would be completely triumphant in the
Crimea before the first of July, and the
"Bears" disgusted them by offering to deliver
certain quantity of foreign wine-irrespec-
tive of the Maine Law Prohibition--if the
Allies should be successful within year
after they first landed in the Crimea.-New

il is constitutional they will acquesce.

LABORERs WANTED.-The Nebraska City
News mentions that the farmers and mechan-
les of that territory complain loudly of their
inability to procure workmen. They offeri 1t
says, extravagant wages, but work hand are
not to be had. The difficulty does not seem
to be that aborers are lazy, or even scarce;
but everyone who goes there Immediately
sets up for himself-becomes an employer
instead of seeker of employment. The
News asks
"Where are the thousands of suffering poor
who were making the streets and parks OF
New York hideons, last winter, by their riot
Gus howls for work! Let them come out
here, we will give them work, as much as
they desire, and wages for it too, such AS will
soon place them above the miserable subsis'
tence of soup-house charity"
The largest recent accessions to the pop
ulation of Nebraska are stated to have been
from the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
many citizens of which have either taken up
their abode in Nebraska city or located farms
in its immediate vicinity.

UNwRITTEN TRAGEDlEs.--lIo many un:
written tragedies occur in a great city! How
many incidents of real life beggar in sad pas
thos all that is seen upon the stage! This
reflection was suggested very recently by
our seeing au interesting boy begging his
father to eorsake evil courses and return tU
his darkened home, or, at least to provide
for his needy wife and suffering chibren.-1
Not one who saw that boy crying in bitter
ness and shame, or who beheld his sister, d
sweet little girl, hunt her father TO lure him
home, but felt there were mournful passages
of human life. sad instances Of baneful pas
sion, wrecks of generous hearts and high
professional character yet unwritten. - Cn-

ADMINISTERING Edingburgh
surgeons says that they are guided in avoid
ing danger TO life from the use of chloroform
in surgical cases, not by its effect on the
pulse, but by the state of the breathing. They
cease the administration of vapor when the
breathing becomes difficult, however favor
able the pulse may appear TO be. They al
so pay attention to the tongue as point Of
great Importance. When the breathing be-
comes difficult, orceases, then open the mouth,
seize the tip of the tongue with artery forceps
and pull it well forward. Death, it is said,
would have occurred in some cases but for
the use OF this expcdieni, which affords tie
external air free access to the lungs.

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1855.

PHILADELPHIA pLATFORM.-Thur. Weeds
paprr-the Albany Evening Journal-says
the pro.sayery journals of the South have a
right to rejoice over the Philadelphia plat
form. 1t comedies, it says, all they have de
manded. Instead of "ignoring" the question
of slavery, it repudiates the principle of free
dom. Hgoes further than any Convention
Of any party has dared to go for many years.
This is Weeds view of the subject. And yet,
says the Wing, the Enquirer and other
Democratic prints affect to consider the
American platform unworthy OF Southern
support. 1t has been repudiated by the entire
Abolition press at the North, with Wilson at
their head. Such being the case, its merits
and its virtues are indisputable.

had been rejected, previous to his making the
slanderous charges which the jury has so
signally punished in damages.
