The Ret ON MIR. Wise,s Election.

On yesterday we enclosed, in behalf OF
gentleman of this city, the sum of $1,000 to
John w. Syme Esq, editor of the Intelligcn-
Ger at Petersburg, Va, to meet the proposition
of Mr.. Stainback. The mail Of this morning
brings us the following editorial comment Of
the editor Of the Intelligencer, Mr.. Syme, upon
the published cards, from which we fear that
the money viii be returned to Washington,
lie SAYS:
"As our name has been brought forward in this
transaction, we take this occasion to say that i
was used during our absence and without our au
thority and consent. We further state that VIC
shall have nothing to do with the bet, either as 0
stake holder or in any other way. We cannot
however forbcar saying that it is not a little
strange that the gentleman should decline to put
up his money because particular individual is
not to be the stakeholder. The house in Rich
mond, at which the Washington gentlemen pro-
poses to deposite the stakes, have always heard
was respectable and solvent, and we cannot for
our life see what more is necessary for one really
anxious to bet than such depository for the
stakes"
We are authorized to say by our friend here,
that Mr. Stainback may select any bank OF
solvent house in Petersburg or Richmond, as
the depository. He says also there must be
bet or back out.

New York Correspondence.

NEW YoRK, March 10.
The Opera.-Statemen and counter-statements
in relation to the Ole Bull management have been
made, and the public arc just about as wise as
before their publication; but the management has
been assumed at last by James Phalen, miiiion-
aire, and formerly lottery manager in Rhode
Island, assisted by Chevaler Wikoff, Of Miss Gam
BILE notoriety. Although the attendance Is not
what might be expectee, 1t presumed the receipts
are more than the expenses. But the opera can
not be made profitable in it's present location, for
many years, it being altogether too far from our
principal hotels, the guests Of which are the main
supporters Of the opera, with the exception Of a
few season subscribers, who reside in the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of the building
Broadcay.--This magnificent promenade pre-.
sented one of the most splendid sights yesterday
that Ia often witnessed. The weather having been
cloudy and disagreeable for a number Of days pre-
viousy, was all that could be wished, and the pro
menaders turned out in full force, crowdng the
sidewalks 20 much that Il was next TO impossible
to move either way with any rapidity. Every one
looked happy, and the smiling countensnces Of the
pedestrians were in consonance with the day. But
how changed-to-day is gloomy and dark, with
every appearance Of a storm.
Fndnciai-Thc bank statement Of this morn
ing does not show any material change from the
one of the previous week, but IL is equally as fa-
vorable. Money continues uncommonly abundant,
and capitalists find Il very difficult TO their sur.
plus funds to advantage notwithstanding the dis
astrous news received from California yesterday,
and announced in Wall street at about 10 o'clock,
A. NJ, before the meeting Of the stock board, lie
effects we're not depreciatvely perceptible in the
transactions Of the board; on tho contrary, there
was general improvement in most descriptions Of
securities offered. The small amount Of gold dust
received by the steamer, is accounted for by the
suspension Of the principal San Francisco bankers.
The stoppage Of Paige, Bacon Co., 80 soon after
their resumption here, win have serious tendency
80 far as that house Is concerned and II they re-
sumo business in few days, "a they have already
promised, II win show perseverance, under dlii'
culties highly creditsble to the firm. That they
may succeed In making satisfactory arrangements,
TO continue their extensive banking business is
the wish Of all Of our business men. LIS.

Proud though we might be, to influence,
oven TO the smallest extent the "destinies of
Virginia" we have sought no such position as
that assigned 10 US above, nor have we inter
fered with those political matters which pecu-
liarly belong to her own citizens in the present
contest We labor for the general good ofthe
" American party" and we would fain hope
that the State Of our early adoption, and the
home Of our children, State in whose pros
perity and welfare we feel a tilial interest will
at least receive no dctiment, through the col
umns Of the press over which we preside; and
wereitnotin the opinion ofthe Argus, presump-
tuous, we would even express the hope, that
some partial good might result to the Old Do
minion, from our feeble efforts.
We shall not despair Of the success OF tho
" American Reformation" even though the
Southern Argus appeals to the people Of yir-
GINA to follow the counsel Of Messrs Hunter,
Mason and Wise. We presume not to hold
up our small taper, in contrast to these flaming
lights of the Old Dominion, nor was the com
parison made by the Argus, a fair or just one.
Instead of our own poor self, if tho Argus had
placed "SAa" in contrast with these learned
gentlemen, we would ~abide the arbitrament OF
the people, upon the question of the weight
due to their respective opinions! Aye-we
win add to the gentlemen named by the Argus,
the names of Forney, Pierce, Seward, Bishop
Hughes, and Pope Pic Mono, and leave it to
the solemn decision Of the sovereign people OF
Virginia, to be rendered on the fourth Thurs
day in May next whether or not the al
tAority of ''.Sam is entitled to more or less
consideration, than the united s0isdom, of all
these his harmonious and distinguished antag-

LoupoUN COUNTY, VA, March Is, 1885


Mr.. EDIroR--DEAR Sin: Sam" met in conven-
ton to-day, and nominated some Of the ablest men
in "our party" to represent us in the State Senate
and the Legislature and, sir, going to the polls
win be but the confirmation of the nomination.
Not wishing to detract anything from our Repre-
sentatives heretofore, must say that the present
is the a5iesi ticket eper presented to the people Of
Lo,ldoun.
Your paper Is doing great work here. Old
parties are dead and buried in "Salt River" and
Oar Principles" suit all good men of both old
parties. whiggery and Democracy are no more !;
but the contest will be HrRx between the Ameri-
can party and the anti-American; and, sir, the
American party can roll up from 1880 to 1000
against Wise Co. The Locos got ahead Of the
people, and nominated II. A. Wise, but Loudoun
win be p.e and reject him and so, trust, 1t viii
be all over Virginia believe the time is not far
distant when your paper win reach every home
and your (our) principles every heart. May God
speed you in the glorious struggle. Say for Lou
doun, "she" has seen Sam"

FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.

NORFOLK, (Va,) March l8, 1855.
DEAR Sin: The ticket framed at Winchester for
State officers has delighted everybody here, except
the Wise men, and to them it is anything else but
palatablo. It has thrown dismay and consterna-
ton into their ranks. They know not how to re-
alize the fact that Jno. M Patton is one Of our
number, and is united with the American party ;
and when the nominations were first announced,
the leading Wise men declared il to be hoax, and
were certain that Mr.. Patton especially would de-
cline any such nomination from the party.
We are increasing in numbers daily-every
meeting brings in fresh recruits and If 1t keeps on
as heretofore, for few weeks longer, all the mate
rial in this place viii be worked up. Rely upon it,
we shall beat Wise and Milson in this city at least
600 votes, and many Of our friends say they will
be beaten 500.
send you a slip from the "Southern Argus,
of this date, and have marked part of the edito-
rial which refers especially toyou.
Yours, very truly, &c.

From the Cores Of the London Morning News
The Pope and the King of Sardinia.

The Pope ana tMc hAnB VI cuAu.1-"s
regret to learn, by private letters from Turin,
that serious doubts are entertained whether tne
King can be depended upon TO support his minis
tiers Ia CARRYING through the Convent suppression
bin. Considerable surprise was felt few days
since at the hestatng tone OF the answer OF Count
Cayour TO an Interpolation asking whether tins
bill would be made cabinet question: fropa-
bly.n was the reply, which astonished the house (;
and on the question being repeated, the same an
swer was given. The key to this, as ! learn nom
an undoubted source Is that the priests have sue
ceeded in working upon the Kings mind. his
deep grief at the loss in fearfuy quick succession,
of his mother his wife and his brother has greatly
unhinged him. An intimate friend lately spoke 70
him Of the necessity that the Converts bllsshould
pass into law. No, no" said his Majesty, that
bill has been forced upon me by my ministers :
and he rushed out of his cabinet in tears.
This is the old story over again, of priestly
interference with those who are overwhelmed
with grief We had hoped for a firmer course
from the King Of Sardinia, and trust he may
yet carry out his plans for the suppression Of
the converts in his kingdom. ut requires no
argument Says the New York Courier to sat
isfy American readers that ecclesiastical prop
erty, as it is now held and managed in Pied
mont, is an evil, and a prodigious one With
population of four millions Of inhabitants,
the kingdom Of Sardinia has more converts,
more bishops, and more clergy, than France,
which numbers thirty-four millions. 1t has
over six hundred religious homes or families,
with fortune which may be estimated at lit
tie short of nine millions of dollars, and do
main representing capital Of nearly eighty
millions. And thus between the converts and
the church, there is the immense fortune Of
eighty-nine millions Of dollars. The govern
ment does not attempt TO confiscate this or in
any way appropriate it. Its bill suppressed
all religious communities, except those whose
vocation is to preach, to instruct and to at
tend the sick, and devotes their revenues to
the establishment Of public schools, asylums
for children, houses of public industry, and to
ameliorate the condition of the lower clergy,
who, on account Of the inequality with which
the ecclesiastical revenues are distributed, now
suffer great poverty. The authority to frame
and carry out measures not only like these,
but Of far stronger character, has, at discre.
ton, been asserted and exercised by every EN-.
pre- kingdom, and principality of continental
Europe

PORTSMOUTH, Va, March 10, 1855.
Mr. EDITOR: Our municipal election win take
place on the 18th Of next month. SAM" the
mysterious parsonage, about whom so much has
been said, has nominated an entire town ticket,
all of whom are good and true Americans. The
nominee for the Office of Mayor was formerly a
Democrat, and out of the thirteen nominees for
the Council, seven were of the same stamp. This
ticket gives an emphatic contradiction to the stale
SANDER that the Know-Nothing party is nothing
but Whiggery in disguise"
Sir, Alexandra, the favorite city of George
Washington, has spoken for the great American
cause, with voice Of thunder--being the first
gun from Virginia" Portsmouth, Virginia, the
favorite town Of the hero Of Craney Island, will be
the first to answer II, and she will re-echo the
sound with voice that cannot be misunderstood.
Her sons will show that they are as little disposed
MS were their fathers, to submit to foreign rule.
As for Mr.. Henry A. Wise, he is destined for
an awful defeat. The signs of the times win JUS
tify us in saying, that he will be defeated by over
10000 majority in the State. "Sam" has been
in every city, town, and county throughout the
length and breadth Of the Old Dominion and on
hefourth Thursday in May viii give indubitable evil
dence of his presence in our midst He will be
hailed with delight by all true friends of civil and
religious liberty and under his banner (the stars
and stripes) we intend to triumph over every foe.
The American nominations recently made at
Winchester, were received here with an enthusi-
asm without parallel. On the first meeting Of
the council after the reception of the news, the
nomination of Flournoy, Beale, and Patton, were
ratified unanimously, with voice that awakened
the babies and the old fogies" throughout the
neighborhood! The decree has gone forth that
the true American neutrality-suspicious. and re-
publicanism--are destined to sweep everything be-
fore them. We say success to the good cause.
