Geo. w. Perryman, formerly of Lowell. in
Henry co., butmore recently Of Mahaska co.,
left his house, about s miles southeast Of
Granville, and IL miles north west from Os-
kaloosa, on the 9th Of June last, and has
not been heard from since by family or
friends. AS he was unweIl when he left home
it is feared that he wandered of in a de-
ranged state of mind. His friends made
diligent search and inquiry for him, but all
to no purpose. He had on, when he left. a
buena vista hat, new check shirt, cotton
pants and stogy boots. He had meal sack
under his arm and about three or four dollars
in money in his pocket. He was esteemed
asa good citizen and pious man. His wife
was from home at the time. ANY informa-
ton of his whereabouts. sent to this Office or

Bolts and 1IcComas.

The statement has been going the rounds Of
the press, that Mr. McComas had promised Mr..
Bolts before the meeting of the Stanton Conven-
tion that in case MIR. Bolts and Mr. Wise were
candidates for the Governorship, he Mr. McCo-
mas would vote for Bolts. The Vindicator
having denied the statement, on the authority of
Mr.. McComas, Mr. Bolts publishes letter in
the Richmond Penny Post, in which he dis
claims any desire 10 make political capital out Of
the matter, but asserts that Mr.. McComas did.
in the presence of Mr.. Rufus French, of Giles,
promise not only to vote for him in preference to
Wise, but TO ride all over his (McComasO dis
trict with him and when Mr.. Bolts expressed
his surprise, the candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor replied "We in the West think Mr..
Wise sacrificed principle to save himself, and
you sacrificed yourself TO save principle. p
s.He said moreover" continues Mr. Bolts, she
would vote for me for any State office as soon as
Cor in preference to, don't recollect which ) any
man in the Commonwealth, because, he said,
was the best State Democrat he ever saw, and
the worst politician in all that related to Federal
politics" Mr.. Bolts supposes that Mr.. McCo-
mas denies 1t because it places him in an awk-
wark position towards Mr.. Wise, and he tries to
get out Of it the best way he can.
Thus is an issue of veracty made up between
these DISTINGUISHED gentlemen. which every man
must decide for himself. Mr. Bolts expresses
his intention to get the statement of Mr.. French,
who heard the conversation, after the election.

DEAR WooDRUM The letter. containing a
communication sen! you last week. was sent to
the office by servant. The Postmaster said |

two to remedy the thing.
Allow me TO say to you. between ourselves as
old friends, the only thing that viii save the Dem
ocra,ic party in Virginia. is for them to change
are they so foolish as 10 run after Wise in his
present 'eild goose chase after them No Dem
ucrat, who has three grains in his pate, can or
dare say anything against their principles; and to
abuse their secrecy in this age Of secret societies
is down right stupidity. The abuse of them by
the Democracy is only giving the Wings the
benefit OF the organization. The old line De
mocracy of Virginia, has passed. entirely out Of
taror. and the party is given into the hands of
pack of greedy renegade Wing Office hunters !;
who are smashing the party into atoms. ientreat
you, for the sake Of the old line Democracy, to
set the example to tho other Democratic journals.
Take position against Il union of Nhrggery
and Know Noshingism, and against a severance
of all Know Nuthings aud Democrats. In other
words, take your position against making Know
Nolhingism test of mans Democracy Don't
let us all 90 dsranged because Wise is, on that
subject 1t is out OF the question for Clay's right
hand man 10 come into our ranks. to teach us De

nond, Tuesday evening, tie 9Th ult., on the
political topics Of the day. In the course Of his
speech he gave fat denial to the ott-repeated
assertion thai all the Wings in the free States
had become aboIiiGnized. He said that but for
the gallant and efficient aid of portion OF the
Wings Of Illinois, the Nebraska conservative
party would have been utterly overwhelmed and
routed in that State The greater portion OF the
speech was devoted to a discussion Of Know
Ncihngism, but tie Senator INDUCED in none oi

Wise and his followers delight. The Richmond
Wing says, Judge Douglas turned preacher to-
wards the close Of his speech, and. TO our sur
prise, eyinced commendable familiarity with
several passages of scripture
The Wing aludes 10 the Inconsistency OF me

to address them. after having bitterly denounced
every nonresident. including Mr.. Rayner, OF
North Carolina, who has spoken on the other
side. The party, however, begins to md itseii
IN swa'apo, and Il is natural to call upon Jove
under such circumstances. Senators Mason and,
Hunter, it is rrpnoTed. are also about TO take the
field in support Of the Wise ticket Times are
certainly squally. Mr.. Mason has personal IN
terest at stake. and is doubtless influenced BY a
laudable desire to "save his bacon," as well as
the simple motive Of aalrolsm.

rhe Gorernor OF sew Jersey.

Governor Price, of New Jersey, is acquiring
rather .unenviable reputation throughout the coun-
try. Some years ago he was Purser in the Ma
Wy, which Office he resigned to run for Congress-
but by strange freak he was taken up and made
Governor. Ii has been reported lauerly that ne
was looking up to the United States Senate, with
fair prospect Of reaching it. But this budding
hope has been nipped by the discovery that be is
defauter to the United States by seventy five
or a hundred thousand dollars. This, however, is
not all, nor the worst Before he left the Navy
he derauded several Of his brother officers out of
twenty to thirty thousand dollars each. We
have heard the particulars Of one of these affairs,
and it is certainly case of great hardship on the
part of the sufferer, and of consummae rascaliy
on the part Of his Excellency."

We understand that the officers. Of the two
Banks in this place have decided that they will
not hereafter send notices of the times when dis
counted paper will become due, to persons living
out of town. This change was rendered neces
sary by the new postage law, which went into
effect on the first instant. and which requires all
letters to be prepaid. Persons having notes to
nav at the Banks will therefore have to keep the
run of the business themselves.

The UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.-A discus
sion has been going an IN several OFT leading
journals, with regard to certain reserved communi-
cations of Mr.. Perry the acting charge al Madrid,
% the Secretary Of State. From what wecan
gather, (ior the subject is invoked in some mystr-
ry)it appears that NIr Perry, after Mr.. SOule'S
departure for OStend, found himself called on by
the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs to receive
propositions tor the settlement Osal the questions
open between the two counties upon terms which
ne had occasion TO kpow the views of the United
States government. Finding himself embarrassed.
by the orders which the Minister had LETT him and
which restrained his freedom ofacl0n, Mir. Perry,
tits said wrote freely the Departtnea, Of State
on the subject expressing not merely his sense Of
the difficulties vi MS position, but his. conviction
OF the facility with which negotiations could be
satisfactorily terminated. ifal exraneous obstacles
were. removed. Frum the excited tone of a letter
Of Mr.. Snue's to the National inlelligencer. the
inference may fairly be drawn that the charges
communication probably enlightened the Depart
ment as To the true cause Of the delay in settling
the feclama,IOns of our gOyernment-that is 10
say-Alr. SOule's personal determination to have
Cuba or a war.and not to permit peaceful ADJUST
ment, while he could prevent it. BE that as it
may, it seems that the Information thus received by
the Secretary of State. resulted happtlyin the ex
plosien of the Ostend scheme. and lest Mr.. SOule
and his associates in the melancholy position, which
they at present occupy in regard to II, beiure the
world.
