II win be reeollected that the editor Of the South
side Democrat few weeks ago, endeayored 10
make capital for the Wise party, In Virginia, out
ofthe unfortunate affair which occurred here, be-
tween the two Eyeretts and MCGOWAN, the mail
agent We had hoped that the editor d the Dem-
oorat had seen the error Of bis way 10 this case.
and had long since repented Of his indiscretion In
attempting TO drag this purely personal affair into
party politics But II appears that such 10 not the
case The editor Of that Journal In this instance,
reminds us Of the witness who gave in evidence in
court In regard TO the height of a horse, what he
says at first he sticks to, right or wrong. In his
issue Of the 18th instant he says: " We can prove
by the testimony OF witnesses present at the time,
that the murderers--for such they were intent
did use just the expression attributed 20 them"
Now, We don't believe the editor Of the Democrat
can prove any such thing, at all events we would
be pleased 70 see the witness that would corrobo-
rate his statement, in attributing to the Everetts
the expression of " We Know Nothings would yet
rule ia the land" We have no interest in this af-
fair farther than to set history right upon this sub
ject, and to refute any inference that might be
drawn inimicalto the Know Nothing party, because
we know that Known ofhingism had not the slight
est connexion with the affair. II was Democratic
concern from beginning to end, being fight be-
tween Democratic postmaster and Democratic
mail agent, both appointed by Democratic adj
ministraton, and two other privates in the Demo
cratic ranks and whatever 0f party bearing or dis
grace there was in the affair attaches TO the Demo-
cratic party.
This is a small affair, and we would not have al
luded to it, had it not been that the Democratic
papers in this State are giving this fabrication pub
licty through their columns ~ Weldon Patriot. !.
The above article, cut from the Weldon Pa
triot, gives a fiat contradiction to q statement
Of an anti Know Nothing paper, which tried to
make capital by representing that MCGOWAN,
mail agent, was assaulted by two men named
Everett and that they rejoiced in their crime
because McGowan was an Irishman, and they
were reputed to be KNOWN othings. The Wei
den Patriot speaks to Tho point, and what he
says is readily understood and, being at the
spot, his statements will be credited

The Pruntytown Gazette quotes Mr.. Wise's

The Pruntytown Gazette quotes Mr. Wise's
language at Morgantown, as follows:
"The Know-Nothings have already elected a
Know-Nothing Congress, which goes into power
on the first Monday in December. II you elect
me your Governor viii 60 into power on the first
Monday in January following: and if necessary, 1
viii stand at the head of the military forces of
Virginia, with my sword by my side, (placing him
self in military position,) and repel anything
may deem unconstitutional in acts of that Congress,
and if compelled to call out the military forces
of my State, shall expect prompt compliance
from my felow-citizens of the Monongahela valley"
\ Mr.. Wise must have been very much excited,
and must have spoken very much at random,
to have made such remarks. He had better
let John Mitchell make all the threats; for he
might possibly induce the Irish to arm with
three muskets apiece, and come down upon
Congress. But we don't think the people Of
Virginia viii be savage enough to slaughter
Congress by 1857.

SOUTHERN MAEUFACrUREs.--Georgia was the
first Southern State that essayed the experiment Of
dverting capital from agricultural pursuits 20 the
establishment Of manufactures The attempt sue
ceeded wonderfully; the example was followed in
different parts of the State, and there are now In
Georgia between fifty and sixty cotton factories In
the full tide Of successful experiment" The de-
gree Of success they have attained may be inferred
from the condition Of the Macon Manufacturing
Company. During the last six months its clear
profits have been at the rate ofseyenteeh per cent
per annum on the amount Of the stock. II has
declared q dividend of ten per cent, and has ac-
cumulated during the last eighteen months over
the dividends reserve fund Of thirty-seven thou
sand dollars There are doubtless many other
companies in the State which make showing
equally as fourisbiDg.--N. o. Bulletin.

The Washington Star, the lesser luminary
Of the administration, comes to the rescue Of
the Hon. John Letcher, declaring that the
recent appointment to clerkship Of one Of
his constituents, was in accordance with "a
custom in awarding clerical offices in Wash
ipgton, to equalize them as near as possible
among all the States and Congressional dis
tricts thereof" Does the Star mean to say
that at the time Mr.. Pennybacker was APP
pointed, Virginia had not her equal share Of
clerkships in Washington city, under the gov
ernments We wish q categorical answer to
this question. Now, we care not how many
clerkships Virginia obtains,---we are content
that she shall have one neisty Of the whole,
ifitpleases those in power to give them, but
on the question Of fact, we deny the state
ment Of the Star, and we say that there was
no clerkship due to Virginia when Mr.. PEN
oybacker was appointed.
We challenge the Star to publish the list Of
clerks and the place whence they came, and
we assert that Virginia was not entitled to the
appointment But we go further we deny
that the clerkships given to Virginia are equal
lied as the Star asserts. If the Star will
publish the. full list Of Virginia appointments,
and their localities, when appointed, we viii
pay the composition" if such appointments
have been equalized as assumed by the Star.
But the Star assumes that Mr.. Letcher will be
very much needed in Congress, to watch the
interests Of the government The Star forgets
that the next Congress will mainly be composed
Of men fresh from tho pecple-men who will
require no other watching than that Of Sans"
far-reaching and close-searching eye.
That Mr.. Letcher is a man of very respecta-
BILE abilities, and an honest man, was not ques-
toned by us, in our brief note on which the
Star has SO deliberately commented We said,
and we repeat our belief that this clerkship
toas giesn to him By the administration to aid
has reelection, though the time has been,
when, even under the present dynasty, Mr..
Letcher was not so much in favor at the White
House But it is enough noU to ensure COM
pliance with his wishes at the White House, if
he chooses to express them, that he is opposed
to the American party" and that is the
ground which we think Sam viii take
against Mr.. Letcher, and hence we referred to
Mr. Letcher's vote in the Virginia Convention.
We have no personal objection to Mr.. Letcher
On the contrary, if Mr.. Letcher was in our
Judgment, right on the American question,
we know Of no man we would more readily
support, for Congress, if we had vote in the
Old Dominion; but his vote in the Virginia
Convention leans too strongly towards foreign
ism.
