MEssRs. EDIroRs: Permit me, through the Stand
ard, to suggest the name Of w. w. Avery Esq, as
a gentleman emnently qualified, the presiding
officer of the Senate
1t is needless to dwell on Mr.. Avery's fitness for
the distinguished position to which his numerous
friends desire to see him elevated. There is
Der Of the Senate who has rendered more valuable
services to the Democratic party in its hour of dark
ness well as in its hour OF triumph, than this tai
entcd and accomplished gentleman, or one who
would adorn with more signal ability the Speaker
ship.
Ibis tribute is due to Mr.. Avery, not because Of
his brilliant talents only but from the efficient aid
he has rendered to the cause. The West is entitled
to the honor, and of her faithful and able
representatives, there is no one whom she would
be more grati6ed to see elected to the Speakershp
than this champion Of her mountain interest and
leader of her mountain chivalry.
lie possesses quickness, decision and ready tact
essential to presiding officer. and that calm i'm.
partiality and high honor which would ensure jus.
tice and satisfaction to all. ".

All the States except California are now
heard from. 1t has been generally conceded
that Fremont at least, had no chance of carry
ing California, but that the State would go for
Buchanan. At all events, the result cannot be
changed which ever way California may go.
The following are the majorties in the sew
eral States, as we learn from our exchanges:
Missouri, it is believed, has gone for Buch-
anan by at least ten thousand majority.
Virginia by $4,000 majority.
Kentucky by about 5000 majority.
Pennsylvania by $4,000 majority.
Indiana 60 I" a.
Louisiana by 1000 majority.
New York has given Fremont, it is believ
ed, a majority of $4,000.
Maine by an increased majority.
New Hampshire
Vermont large Majority.
Massachusetts, $4,000 majority.
Connecticut 5000 majority
Ohio by 10000 majority.

On Tuesday last, Mr. HUGH BAKER, one
Of the owners of the Ferry at this place, eros
sed the river in a skiF, and on returning was
carried down the river by the almost solid mass
of floating ice, until near the sand bar opposite
town, when the boat was crushed, or rendered
useless. Mr.. Baker succeeded in reaching the
sand bar where he called for help for near two
hours before any one heard him. As soon as
discovered, every effort was made TO rescue
him as speedily as possible. But such was
the difficulty, on account of the ice being sta
tiorary about 40 feet from shore out, but not
sufficiently strong to bear up a person and boat
in launching another boat, and getting it to
him, that he remained on the bar exposed to
the beating storm for over FIVE hours, and
when reached, was near frozen to death. Great
credit is due all those who knew of Mr.. Ba-
ker's periIous situation, for their efforts to save
him. A number had hands, feet, and ears
frozen. A young man named TIDwEIL, rath-
er thinly clad, was so near frozen to death that
be was carried home, and medical assistance
rendered necessary. The boat was finally
pushed into the floating ice, and manned by
HENRY HOFFMAN and j. J. AKIN, at the risk
of their lives, and to whom too much credit
cannot be given. Mr.. Baker was reached and
brought safe on shore, about 8 o'clock at night
Taking into consideration the furious storm
the intense cold, and condition of the river
we regard the escape, not only Of Mr.. Baker
as a narrow one, but also that of Mr.. Tidwell
Hoffman and Akin.
