UprOar ilf WaslaingtOn--The
CamDbeII's are Coming!

The telegraph to-day brings stirring news
from Washington. The beauties of fusion
ism are being fully developed. CAMPBELL,
of Ohio, has thrown a FIRE brand in the midst
Of the fusion camp. He proposes that oRR
should be Speaker pro tenn, per agreement
This move was evidently 10 call off the De.
mocrats from RlcHARDsoN, with view to q
fusion with the FULLER men, with the Know
Nothings, aud against the Black Republi-
cans. We hope the RICHARDSON men will
stand firm. We want no fusion with Know
Nothings, any more than we do with Black
Republicans. Let the Fusion farce be play.

wings voting for richardson.

To show that members of Congress from
the slave States consider the slave question
paramount to ell other issues, we need
only refer to thes fact that Messrs. Caruth-
ers and Oliver of Missouri, Bowie from Ma.
ryland, Stephens from Georgia, Evans from
Texas and Talbot from Kentucy, all elected
to Congress as Wings, and opposed to the
administration, have voted for Richardson,
the administration candidate for Speaker.
And yet these men complain Of the North,
and charge upon US that we are sectionalists.
- Ohio State Journal.
This is n new way Of proving that the
southern men who vote for the. democratic
candidate for Speaker are sectional, and ot
justifying the northern fusion movement in
favor of the sectional organization of the
House.
Col. Richardson, for whom these gentle
men are voting, is northern man, standing
upon the principles ofthe constitution, which
protect both North and South, discardins
all geographical lines and hailing every citi
zen, no matter whether he was born in tht
South or first inhaled the air of HeaveI
in other lands, as friend and BROTHER
The Ohio State Journal has q strang,
logic of its own when it tries to prove tina
southern support of such candidate fo
Speaker convicts southern men of identity

Death Of a Notorious woman.

A letter from Paris, in Sunday paper,
states that Kate Hastings died recently, in
the Charity Hospital of that city. She was
well known in New York--having kept here,
for many years, the most notorious and gor-
geous houses of i'll fame which disgrace our
City. She added greatly to her notorty some
two years since, by cowhiding "Ned Bunt-
lines" in Broadway, for some remarks dis
pleasing to her, which he saw fit to make in
"His Own" paper. She left shortly after.

From Floyd's Forthcoming Steamboat Di-

very near being lost during his last visit to

on which he embarked at Nashville, struck
a snag on dark and tempestious night on

Proposed Increased Pay Of State
GnlCerS.

In the late political campaign, the politi-
clans who mustered under the black and
bloody banner OF Abolition Know Nothing
ism, had much to say in denunciation of the
Democratic party, because its members in
the Legislature, in conn ection with Wing
members, had increased the salaries of the
State officers small amount over what they
had been under the old Constitution. Now.
however, we find correspondent Of the
Ohio State Journal, the central opposition
organ, contending that "the Office Of the
Auditor of State 10 a very laborious and re.
sPonsible one, and the first act Of the Legs.
lature should be to increase the salary from

Visitors at the Capital, ExtraOF-
eIimary.

Early yesterday morning, eight fine deer
were seen standing on the summit Of Capt.
tai Hill. AS none Of them presented a fason-
ing appearance, it would not be fair to pre-
sumo that they were seekers after official
patronage, besides they had scents enough
to know that il they entertained such nspir-
atoms so near the opening Of the Legisla-
.ture, they would have too much capital to
buck against, and their cake would be doe. ~
The only reasonable supposition IL, that
they bad come to take ga last taOned look
at their old stamping ground" and bid a.

Arrest Of Fillibustcrs.

The prompt aud energetic action of the
Government in arresting the large party OF
recruits who were about to embark in the
Northern Light yesterday, to join Colonel
WALKER in Nicaragua, cannot but have a
wholesome effect, not only upon the loose
fish who have propensity to engage in any
unlawful enterprise, but in convincing the
Governments OF Europe that our authorities
do not lend their countenance, or even wink
at any fillibustering expeditions against 9TH
er countries Whatever may be the result
of the detention of the Northern Light, or
whether the passengers by her were bound
on an unlawful expedition or not, the fact OF
the activity Of the Government In promptly
arresting the supposed fillibusters, and pre-
venting their embarkation, will be sufficient
vindication OF the authorities against the va
poring charges Of such journals as the Lon
don Times, upon which it recently succeed.
