Complaints I'm the Country.

We learn that gentlemen In the country, who
have lost their money on the election, are CON-
planning loudly Of us. II is very pleasant to save
our selflove by laying the blame Of failure on
others
We never advised anybody to bet II men bet
upon our judgment, Ii Is no fault Of ours. We
stated what we believed. We drew our differences
from the letters, newspapers, and verbal accounts
received at this Office. five deceived others, II
was because our newspapers and correspondents
deceived us.
But we cannot be said TO have deceived any.
body. We said the Know-Nothings would give
"a, 900 votes for Flournoy. Well they gave moro
than thai as viii be seen when the accounts come
TO be adjusted. We were beaten by the increased
vote Of the Democracy, Of which we had, and could
possibly have no conception. Mr.. Wise calculated
the vote at 100000. Had Il been no more We
should have carried the State by 10000. As 1t Ia,
we have voted at least $4,000 strong, while VIC
bsrgained for only rs, 900. We stated the number
TO encourage our friends, not to set men TO bet
ting. We got the exact number from official
sources who had correct statement Of the strength
OF every Council. Let our friends put the saddle
on the right horse. Let them blame themselves,
not MS.
The great falling or In the Wing vote was
another element Of defeat. We had calculated
largely on that vote, and In this calculation we
were deceived. In Russell county, particularly u
was cast against us in body, a. We understand Il
was, likewise In Wheeling. The Know-Nothings
nobly redeemed their pledge. They gave every
one Of the 72,00o votes which they had promised,
and We are disposed to think even more. Such At
least IL our present impression, and We have no
doubt II will be sustained by the returns.

We have examined the FIJI vote for Governor in

Tlournoy received ss,ose votes, and Wise 80, 100.
The same counties gave in 1852 to Scott 80, $50,
and Pierce s5,74s. The aggregate vote In them
has been increased 1871. This indicates an in
crease Of 10 per cent, which would make the az

Locusr MOUNT, AccoxAc, Va,
May 80, 1855.
Thank God that Accomac manifested deep
concern In the late great political excitement for
the welfare Of her State and country, by withhold
ing her voice In electing her own unworthy son,
and holding TO the common good of America. She
loved Wise much, but she loved her country more.
Her sister counties, more blind to their own in
terest, win lament when too late, their childish
decision.
Never before was seen such an excitement.
Brother opposed brother--father and son fought,
politically, with each other at the polls; and the
wife, In many cases, entreated the old ron-hearted
Democrat to listen to the cal Of his country, while
some, hard-headed as women sometimes are, OPP
posed strongly the American party. or the latter
/ will relate one instance Al4saH
A poor man, with some Ave or SIX children, be-
ing dependent partly upon his neighbors, and liv-
ing In Democratic neigbborhood, wished to vote
the American ticket His wife opposed, on the
ground that their friends, who were all Wise men,
had sworn to be friends no longer than the old
man voted 10 pleasure them. But he was deter
mined. He said, 81 win starve, rather than DO q
traitor to my country" On the day Of the election
bis wife locked up his clean Clothes and his next
nsighbor to be his enemy II he voted against
him. The old man took hisaKe and left home, his wife
thought for the purpose Of cutting wood but when
bis little house was hid behind him, he dropped
his axe, and, running with all his might, directed
bis course for the nearest precinct, which was
about eleven miles distant
1t was lato In the afternoon when he started,
and, unless ho ran all tho way, the polls would DO
closed ere he reached the precint. The rain
poured down In torrents, wetting to the skin the
old man, who, taking the shortest track, stopped
not for swamps nor branches. At length, out Of
breath, and dripping with rain and perspiration,
he reached the little village at which the election
was held, and, staggering up TO the polls, he
gasped, "Flournoy and American Whcreupon
SANS boys clothed the old man In new suit and
sent him home TO his wife. How they met know
not; but one thing l do know, that the old man
won more friends than he lost.

The Navy Retiring Board.

The Navy Retiring Board, ordered by the last
session Of Congress- TO examine into the merits and
qualifications Of the navy officers, with the view Of
creating Retired List has been appointed, as fol-
lows:
Captains VIM. b. shubrick, G. II. McCauley, A.
Bigelow, N. @. Perry, G. r. Striblng Commanders
g. j. Pendergrast s. +. Dupont, Andrew II. Foote,
Franklin Buchanan, Samuel Barron, and Leuten-
ants John s. Missroon, 8. w. Goden, James s.
Biddlc, r. L. Page, and VIM. L. Maury.
The above appointments are made from the most
eminent officers of the navy. Captains Shubrick,
McCauley, Perry and 6triblins, have long been dis
tinguished ornaments Of the service; and Com
manders Buchanan, Dupont, and Foote, although
Of more limited experience, are officers Of whom
any nation might be proud. Lieutsnants Page
and Maury are also gentlemen Of high reputation
of science and skill In their profession. 1t
Is hoped that the Retiring Board will temper jus
tice with mercy" and so exercise the power con-
ferred upon them a. that no officer win have rea-
son to complain Of injustice or partially on their
part.
"a gentleman writing from Italy says, what the
Italians Of the present day lack 10 invention least
In the useful arts The inventive faculty seems to
have run out, as the. creative spark has gone out
with the light Of past ages Nor will they adopt
the inventions Of others they are so suspicious Of
innovations on old usages. A modern plough
would be here eyed as an insurrectionist; or the
motions OF labor-s wing saw or scythe as demo-
cratic movements TO be at once put down. 1t
makes ones back ache to see two able .bodied men
sweating away at q handsaw, their very foreheads
sending forth steam enough meanwhile to saw fifty
boards to their one; or one poor man tuggng
al -han dad a, nr ko.b
ism, which takes more time in fitting and turning
1t TO use than Is left for using IT,"
We copy tho above from the Norfolk News,
an anti-American paper. The Italians it de-
scribes are citizens of that country in which
Romanism and Popery have reigned paramount
for a thousand years; where men and women
are imprisoned for reading the Holy Bible !;
and where no books are allowed to be imported
that contain word or paragraph against the
infallibility Of the Romish Church.
As a consequence, the Italians of the present
day are far inferior in arts, in arms, and in lit
erature, to the pagan Italians of antiquity.
They are almost as far in the rear Of the Pro-
testant nations Of Europe, as the Suabians of
the Tenth Legion are In the rear of their en-
lightened neighbors Of Augusta and Loudoun.
And there they will remain, until the mighty
lever Of Professionalism is inserted under the
thick crust Of ignorance and superstition which
covers the whole country like pail. When
this is done, the Italians will elevate themselves
upon their hind-legs and celebrate the Satur-
MALTA of liberated slaves; throw awaytheir an
tiquated and useless tools, and prepare them
selves for entrance into the family Of civilized
and enlightened nations.
