Mr.. FILLMORE on A Fox HUNT.-The following
Information of the movements of Mr. Fillmore
on the other side Of the Atlantic, is from let
ter to the Savannah "Republican," dated Rome,
Feb. II. The writer says:
Mr.. Fillmore is now in Naples, and will either
go to Greece, or via Malta and Egypt to Trieste.
went out with his Excellency one day to the
fox hunt on the campagna, where are the largest
foxes and best hunting ground in the world
The club has forty -four hounds which hunt twen-
ty-two foxes at time. Then there are some
good English and native horses The hunt had
been turned off before our arrival, so we rode
on some eight miles from Rome on the Apppian
Way, and assembled one of the old Roman tolnbs
which line this road for fourteen miles No soon
er were we there than we heard the dogs in full
cry and coming right upon us. There were two
foxes, which probably meant to take the earth
in the ruins about us. 1t was immensely excit-
ing to see the foxes, and the hounds with their
noses down, clearing the stone walls, and nearly
as good a one to see the alacrity with which Mr..
Fillmore sprang upon one to witness the chase
after it had passed the road. The foxes separa-
ted soon, the scent of the largest which gave
them race of at least sixteen or eighteen miles,
lasting nearly two hours. The animal doubled
in all directions, and finally escaped by taking
the earth, highly gratified, l have not the least
doubt, with the days sport.

suit of his South Carolina wife to have her di-

the records of the Court did not show that d.

several thousand dollars by the New York and

mothers, were born in Ireland. While Fifty per

dren of Irish parents, only "a per cent. belonged
to American parents-that is to say that less
than one quarter had native borne parents.

sB There seems to be a good deal of con-
tention and jostling among the aspirants for
Presidential honors on the loeofoco side. Doug
las is said to be quite ferocious towards his
competitors, using the same kind of bullying
which he practices in the U. S. Senate for the
admiration of the "short boys" and shoulder
strikers. An article was recently published in
the Chicago Times, setting forth the claims of
Judge Douglas for the Presidency and endorsing
him as the only man in the locofoco ranks whose
election would be proper in the present crisis
This article is said to be in the hand writing of
Douglas himself. Let them fight it out. The
Cincinnati Convention win decide who is 20 have
the honor of being beaten

PRoGREssloN.-As the Locofoco party is a
progressive Institution ready to adap. itself to
olrcumstances-and as in 1860 the Mormons will
be upon us, polygamy plank, naturally arising
under the new doctrine of popular sovereignty,
will have to be dove-tailed into the old platform
We suggest the following, from Brigham Young,
as very forcible enuncation, nearly as
much so as Douglas himself could have made it,
of the new doctrine ofpolygamy:
"Now, if any of you will deny the plurality of
wives and continue to do so, l promise that YOU
will be damned l. and will 60 still further and
say, take this revelation or any other revelation
that the Lord has given, and deny it in your feel
ings, and promise that yoI will be damned"
