Gov Wise and II. r. Peasants, Esq

About o'clock, A. NJ, Monday
morning, Gov. Wise was sitting al
his table in the Capitol, attending to
official business. Ills room was en-.
tered by Huge II. Peasants. He en-.
tered without knocking, without in.
quiry or usual salutation, and took a
seat on a sofa in the room, in the rear
of Mr.. Wise's seat, which faced the
door. After sitting a few minutes,
he rose, went towards the door and
asked: g Where Is aid gizzard: foots'
"Gizzard foot is not in this morning,
is he!" Gov. Wise replied; ''Yes sir,
here he isl am the very man." Lie
repeated the question and was replied
in the same way. Peasants then said;
"WeA, by Cd! l didn't know YOU
and you are Gizzard- foot! and Ebc
shin, are you2" Gov. Wise said
"Ikno,o you, s;r-you are Hugh r.
Peasants, are you!" With that Inc
commenced with the most vulgar and
taunting abuse, and Mr.. Wise ordered
him out of the room. He refused tc

he approached Peasants, the latter
put himselfin the position Of menact
and assault, md squared off as if t

him to put HIM out of the room, wlier
he offered violent resistance, and Mr.
Wise struck him a blow (which drew
some little blood from his cheeky ant

ing Mr.. Wise ordering Peasants out

Such is the true and full statemen
of a matter, which may be much mis-

1.-The Telegraph.

This great and wonderful invention has
been made TO subserve the wants Of the
public in various ways. Not being con-
tent with the mere bearing Of general
news, as medium Of great Importance
to commercial men, as an excellent thiei
catcher, as matrimonial moose fastener,
and thousand other uses beneficial to
the human family that we might mention,
it has been lately introduced, in this Sec
ton Of the known world, to quite diff
ferent object. The poles on which the
wire was usually suspended are standing
in the attitude of "grog" drinkers
The wire that once was used in bringing
the glad news of the rise of salt, bacon,
-four and Indian meal, is now lying in
great confusion on the turnpike, to the
great danger of the lives of men, women
and children, and 20 the necks Of horses
and mules. A few days since, some viii
famous persons, not satisfied with the
dangerous condition of the loose wire,
fastened the wire at each side of the pike.
We would respectfully refer the condition
of the telegraph to the Grand Jurors. The
nuisance should be removed forthwith. =

merge themselves with the party whose

denounce the Republicans, and de.

caused all the agitation of slavery
he having, contrary to his pledges
given countenance to agitation By
disturbing former party ends, the com
promise that had long preserved the
peace ofthe Union. They. assert thai
the Democratic party have thus for
