An AboEitiOnist on the Virginia
Election.

The New rk,Trbune which can never
pardon the Know Nothings for the trouble
which they have given Stewards friends,
makes their defeat In Virginia the occasion
of most insidious and inhamatory appeals
to the prejudices of the North against the
South. 1t discourses in the following
strain:
The Virginia election has knocked the
bottom out of Know Nothngism in the
South. or perhaps we should say it shows
that it never had any We are little sur
prised and not entirely Indifferent at the re-
suit. We have all along declared that if
Know Nothingism became National" it
would be simply Southern Slavery party
with Northern recruiting stations. We
have known well enough that the South
would meddle with no party having afiilia-
tions in the North, unless it was steeped to
the eyes in devotion TO the Interests of slave
driving. 1t is on this ground that we have
said that the attempt of the Know Nothings
to establish a national platform was nothing
bat establishing Pro-Slavery party, whose
action would be in direct hostility to the in
terests of the Free States and in craven SUBJ
serviency TO the Slave oliearchy. The Vir-
ginia election not only confirms our view of
the case. but demonstrates that the intensi-
ty of the Southern feeling on this question
is even greater than we had alleged 1t de-
mons'rates that the slave oligarchy won {
trust even the most rascally Know Nothing
doughfaces among US.

CLARKE MILLS AND HIS STATUE OF GEN
JACKSON Il lou writes to the Baltimore
Sun as follows:
Prominent amongst the improvements of
few years on the line OF railway between
Shis city and Bladensburg. is the fine estate
Of Clarke Mills. Esq, the American artist.
renowned for his equestrian statue Of jack
son.
The spacious and handsome new build
ing on the north side of the road is the
foundry, which suDercedes that destroyed
BY FIRE few months since With commen-
dable energy this establishment and all its
massive machinery is already in full opera
tion. The artist is now casting the egues-
trian statue of the ilus,rious jackson, which
is to be erected in New Orleans on the Sth
Of january next-and for which the pedes-
tai is already laid
On the south side of the road the new
studio is nearly completed This is de-
cided improvement over the former struc-
ture, which was blown down by a severe
gale of wind. So soon as the roof is on,
Mr- Mills will commence pntting together
several parts of the anxiously looked for
statue of the Father of his Country. which
is to adorn our city. In this design the ar
tist has happily conceived the appearance Of
the illus;rious Washington, as at the battle
of Princeton. he pressed his fine charger
immediately in front of the British soldiers
at such imminent hazard that even the no.
bic animal recoiled at ;he-efiort-his head
erect-nostrils distended- flowing name,
and every muscle indicating the agony he
endures IN view of the conflict. On his
back sits the heaven directed leader of the
| American forces. possessing countenance
as firm. courageous. calm and dgniied. as
| he ever did in the ordinary duties of life.
The uniform of Washington is purely con-
J tinental. modelled from the identical coat he
wore. and which is on exhibition at the gal
| lery Of the National Institute.
/ Application has been made for statue of
! jackson, TO be cast of iron. for the city of
Baltimore-and probable to be placed in
the square given for that purpose by Robert
Howard. Esq. Other engagements. howev-
er. compel the artist. for the present, to de-
fer the responsibility of any additional work

land can be drained by wells. have made
one experiment only. and that was entirely
successful owned piece of land on
which there was basin of about three
fourths of an acre, which received the sur.
plus water of at least ten acres 1t would
sometimes be from two to three feet deep in
the centre. The water stood in the basin
at least eight months in the year. and the
basin was full. every hard rain, the other
four months. On the Sd of August. 1841.
| dug well nine feet deep in the centre of
the basin. and came to living water, which
rose very rapidly, so much SO. that l expect
ed to see. it run over the top in short time.
| think the water rose at least two feet in
ten minutes and then stopped, and remained
at that depth until heavy rain of three
days
then went 70 look at the we'll, expect
ing TO find it full and running over but to
my utter astonishment, there was not more
than two and half feet in the WE'LL
1t had risen about four feet during the
storm, | should Judge, by the marks on the
great quantity of water run into the we'll,
as at least ten acres discharged its surplus
water into it, and the rain fell in torrents
during three days. then dug four open
drains leading into the well, and the land
has been sufficiently dry for wheat. corn.
oats; or grass ever since. 1t has been in
grass for the last II years, and has borne
a heavy crop of first rate hay.
| should advise, in all instances, to dig
until you come to living water, and then the
water will pass off in the assures of the
earth. | have not the least doubt but al
most any spring can be drained by we'll
at a little distance. and leading the water
into it I would state that l filled the we'll
full of stone. thinking it would be cheaper
to dig new one than to stone it and keep
it covered, if il should fail to carry off the
water ASA HUBBARD.

The Republican Party.

This is the name that the AbolitionIsts Of
the North have appropriated to their party.
We do not know that Abolitionism will
smell any better when called by this new
name than it did before the odor of the
African will still be there. This party
tried to make Sam an Abolitionist, but in
the attempt it signally failed. and now has
arrayed itself in the list of his enemies
The National Era. published at Washing

deprecates any connection with the Ameri-
ican party. 1t says:
Soon or late, the Anti Nebraska or Anti
Slavery movement must rid itself of the en-
cumbrance of Know Nothingism, and stand
or fall On It's own merits
In regard to the National Council now
in session in Philadelphia. the Era says:
The fifteen slave State Councils will be
represented by pro-slavery delegates-New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. and New York with
California, if represented at ally by delegates
subservient to slavery. These alone, to say

We again ask-for We are anxious that
those of our friends. who seem disposed to
confde implicitly in Know Nothing profes-
sions. may have their attention drawn to the
inquiry-to what are the Councils in New
Hampshire and Massachusetts committed?
They have adopted anti-slavery resolves, it
is said. Aye. but those resolves as publish

1t is very clear from this. as we'll as from
the tone os the leading papers at the North
in the interest Of that party, that there will
be separate organizations, and probably an
indie pendent ticket for the Presidency run
by this Republican party. The principal
Journals belonging to that party. are the

Express. the Cleveland Leader, the Chica-
