Very injudiciously, as many Democrats
thought Mr. Wises friends in this city, made
public demonstration Of their rejoicing over
the presumed result in Virginia, on Saturday
evening. A band Of music was stationed in
the balcony Of Browns Hotel, and large as
semblagc Of persons was gathered together on
the avenue at an early hour.
At nine p. NJ Mr.. Wise made his appear
ance, and commenced spcaking-but the noise
and confusion was so great that IL was impos-
sible to hear him. A report OF his remarks in
another column, from tho Intsliigsnocr, viii
give our readers an idea Of what he intended to
say.
We do not intend to justify those who saw
fit TO prevent Mr.. Wise from being heard. But
we do say, that in his speech in Ninth street,
week before last he gave great provocation to
the American party. Still, It would have been
more dgniAed to have allowed Mr.. Wise to
have made his speech; Notwithstanding his
address was intended to affect the municipal
election in this city on Monday next OF the
improperly OF such an interference, not TO say
indelicacy, there can be but one opinion. Mr.
Wise may swaggcr as he pleases In Virginia,
and draw his sword every day Of his life, but
here, In this District Of Columbia, his bluster
and fanfsronade are regarded with supreme
contempt
Sac NIcurs oRAroR.--Tbe editor OF the little
Sag NIGHTS luminsry In this city has lately been
seized with a mania for oratory. His first
esssy was at Balls Gross Roads last week, where
his fests Of ground and lofty tn5iing were the as
tonishmcnt Of tho natives Of that rural district his
second effort was At Browns Hotel on Saturday
night, where he surpassed not only himself but
his friend, the celebrated Bull Robinson; and to
use the apt simic Of an Alabama gentleman who
was present tapped about like catfish in a
basket" He certainly cut some extraordinary ca
pers, and not only threw completely in the shade
his compatriot Robinson, but came very near
equslling the sublime efforts OF the late Pop EN-
mons, Of immortal memory. We sincerely hope
that when he next fsyors the public with one Of
his orsorical displays, due notice win be given,
that the admirers Of gin.uine eloquence may not
be deprived of great intellectual least.

Protestant Episcopal /. convention.


The Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of Virginia commenced its session at Lex
ington, Virginia, on Wednesday, the 10th, and
adjourned on the following Saturday. Bishops
Meade and Johns were present
The only subject before the Convention which
produced discussion, and this not at great length,
was the adoption Of final arrangements respecting
the Staunton Female Institute A committee which
had been appointed, reported resolutions which
were finally adopted, we believe unanimously, to
the following effect:
Rssolvsd, That so soon as the committee APP
pointed by the last Convention consisting of Hugh
w. Sheffey Eugene Davis, and Rev. Richard Will
mer are satisfied that all the debts Of the Virginia
Female Institute over aad above the sum OF "a, :
600, or such amount as may still be due from the
Convention are paid or settled by others, and not
Before they Withdraw from the treasurer the funds
provided for the purpose, and apply the same to
the payment of the residue Of the debt.
Resotved, 3D. That before paying over the funds
In discharge of said debt the said committee pro-
cure certificates ofstock In the Virginia Female Insti-
tute to the amount of seventy shares be issued in
the names Of 8. ii. Lewis, Alexander Brown, ID,
H. Conrad, e. T. Tayoe, Rev. r. X. Meade, Chas.
Carter, and Thomas s. Gholson, and shall procure
the transfer of stock from the present stockhold-
cB to said 8. Ii. Lewis, 6c., TO an amount suffi-
Gent to vest In law majority Of the whole stock,
lowing was added:
Resolved, That II is hereby expressed as the
sense of this Convention, In connection with the
foregoing resolutions that the Trustees Of the In
stitute should endeavor 80 to conduct the affairs
Of the institution TO reduce as far rs possible
the expenses Of instruction and board to the
daughters Of the Clergymen Of the Diocese.
The meeting of the convention for special pray
err which has now become an established custom,
was held on Tuesday afternoon. Bishop Meade
presided on the occasion and called upon several
Of the clergy to address the meeting briefly and
offer up prayer, Bishop Johns closing the services
by an address and prayer. The occasion was one
of great solemnity, and must have excited In the
minds Of those present such feelings Of humilia-
ton and contrition for the low state Of religion in
the church, and the land, and such purposes of re.
nevcd devotion to the service Of God, as must
with bis blessing lead 20 fresh impulses in the la
bors and success Of the ministry.-Soah. Church

Tar TRIBUNE REyoIcMG.-The New York Tr-
bune emulates the most enthusiastic of the Demo
cratic press in its rejoicings over the result In
Virginia
Sans godmother had dipped him in the Styx OF
Slavery and tried to pass him upon the Old Domin-
ion as the invulnerable Achilles whose presence
alone would insure victory to the South but the
cunning Paris Of Accomac has hit him In the heel;
the once invincible hero is ignominiously over
thrown the charm 10 broken---the prestige of sue
cess Is gone, and hcnceforth the name of Sam will
carry no terror even to the most timorous and thin
skinned politicians The "Third Degree members,
who have so serviley bowed down to the Moloch
Of Slavery, must feel pretty keeny that thrift does
not always follow awnng, and that In this instance
at least ther voluntary abasement has not only
been overlooked, but most cruelty condemned.
The Tribune, the organ Of Seward, and the
Union, the organ of Wise, seem to be both equally
delighted with the result of the Virginia election
What does this portend? A union Of the Sag
NIGHTS for the sake Of the spoils? Very likely.
Just such an union has already been contaminated
in this city. Wings and Locofocos have united
here to put down the American party--the princi-
pal condition Of the alliance being that the Wings
should have all the Offices in the event of Sag
NIGHTS triumph.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has recently met
with very Notifying reverse in the tide Of
popularity. He let himself to western spec
ulator named Wells, to deliver twelve lectures
for fifteen hundred dollars and expenses. Wells
advertised him at Cleveland, Columbus Cincin-
natl, and other principal cities Of the West,
putting the admission fee to the lectures at fifty
cents. At Cleveland the audience was sosmall
that it did not begin to pay expenses T; at Co
lumbus he lectured to forty persons, and at Gin
cnnati to between two and three hundred. To
a man accustomed TO addressing crowded houses,
such beegarly account Of empty boxes must
have been especially notifying it was so to
MIR Beecher, and after his lecture at Cincinnati
he threw up his contract and returned homo in
disgust. The Ohio papers are very severe in
their comments npon his course. Mr. Beecher
has written an explanatory letter to the Cleve-
land Plaindealer, in which he states that the
engagement to lecture in Ohio was not Of MI
Wells seeking, but that Mr. Wells acted mere
ly as his agent in that matter. He says he
knew nothing Of the price Of the admission fee,
but admits that it was altogether too high al
fifty cents.

AND UNITED STATES AND BRITIsH SAILORS =
A desperate battle took place on the China Sea,
on the 4th of August last, between the Chinese
Pirate fleet in the neighborhood of Kulan, and
the boats of the United States steamer Powhatan
and the British steamer Rather. Ten pirate
junks were taken and destroyed, the greater
portion of their crews having been killed, and
seven prizes, which had been taken by the pi-
rates, liberated Some idea my be formed Of
the severity, of the conflict, when it is known
that these pirates had an armament, on the junks
which were captured only, of abont two humid
red guns, mostly 80 and "a Founders, and one
was a SO, all of which beched out their broad
sides on the attacking parties, fairly raking the
whole channel.
Joseph A. Halsey of Newark, N. j., and
Isaac Goes, both landmen, were killed John
Pepper, seaman, was MORALLY wounded-he
died few hours after the engagement; Lieut..
r. b. Pcgram, and Lieut.. H. Orlando, were
wounded also, Benjamin Adamson marine, j.
Pendergast, landsman, S. Mullard, F. Hommell
F. Underestimate, marines; J. Lewis, Charles
Tingwell, seamen and William Taylor cap
tain of the afterguard. The principal casualty
which occurred was in the attack and capture
OF one Of the most formidable junks. While
the Ratiler's boats were engaged with it, pour
ing in their shots of musketry, Lieut. Rolando
with the Powhatan's second launch came and
threw in heavy volleys; then giving three
cheers, boarded. A fierce hand to hand fight
then followed. The pirates were driven, some
below, but most Of them overheard, the sur

The State Rights Democrat, Published at Ell

tlcmen were lately in the woods, when their at
tention was attracted by an uproarous noise of
hogs Thinking that something uncommon
was to pay, they repaised 10 the spot and found
that the hogs had been in fight with very
large rattlesnake. The fight, from appearances,
had been long and desperate one. The snake
was torn to pieces, three hogs dead, and fourth
dying. They say that, as the last hog would
groan, the snake would raise his head, being
unable to do anything else The snake and
fourth hog soon died. They report that for
yards around, the grass and ground were torn
up The snake was six and a half or seven
feet long. The hogs, in the fight, had demol-
ished all the raites except two.
