4 LADY Grierou.lY ANNOYED.

| We suboin with world Of pleasure the follow
| ing note from lady correspondent, which will speak
in melancholy tones for itself:
81 in trouble, dear Messrs Editors because of find
ing the visiting card Of somewhat ceremonious friend
laying upon my table, and being able to learn when

may have been lately left requiring to be attended, TO

JUICE yours, NARY
Franklin street, Richmond, Dec. 9Th SO"
We commend the suggestion of our fair CORES
pondent to those inconsiderate young gentlemen
who are in the habit of transgressing in the manner
so pithiy and gracefully described We consider
her complaint founded in reason, Justice and propr
ETY.; and when we think of the thousand and one
annOyances to which she has evidently been subject
ed and the "trouble" she is in at present in conse
quence thereof, we feel like instantly saddling our
! Rosnante, and starting forth in quest of adyen
lures. We trust, however that the aforesaid unre
flecting young gentlemen, who have occasioned the
forbearing and gentle MARY" so much unnecessary
annoyance" in the way alluded to- will avoid Ms the
necessity Of trip to Washington with them bv din.
tiiully conforming hereafter to her suggestion We
have taken 1t for granted as the reader will observe
'''' Jul correspondent WAS uttering her complaints
only against gentlemen, not female, visitors. If
wrong in our suspicious, we stand corrected without
| further notice.
In conclusion, we might, IL we would, give our
lair correspondent gentle hint to the effect that ,e
too, have been greatly annoyed in consequence Of
her not writing her name in full and Indicating the
number Of her residence provided she is not married
widow or an old midland that we are in An
ocean Of trouble" on account Of the fact In any
future communication with which 1t may be her
pleasure to honor us, disposition to relieve Us Of
the annoyance to which We are subjected. will

Another Aspirant in the Field.

The attempt by the Virginia Electors to kill off all
the meritorious aspirants for Cabinet appointment
from Virginia, except Gov. Floyd, has been met by
vigorous countermovement on the part of the vir-
ginia delegation in Congress The aforesaid delcga-
ton have just held acaucus in Washington, in which
they declared the Hon. Thomas $ Bocock to be their
choice for Cabinet position, provided Mr. Buchanan
should see fit to select one from the Old Dominion.
The unfortunate and il-adyiscd course Of Wise and
the Electors has evidently produced tremendous
sensation in the ranks Of the faithful" and will pro-
baby inauguratc war between the two factions so
zealously contending for the Spos, which will afford
entertainment and amusement to the outside public
for many months to come.
What effect these two opposing movements will
have the fortunes of the great men of the Virgil
mia Democracy it is difficult as yet exactly to fore
tell. In all probability, however, it will result in
determining old Buck to dispense altogether with
the services of Cabinet officer from Virginia For
it is evident he conform to the wishes of Wise
and the Electors without at the same time, giving
umbrage to the members of Congress from this State
and rice We think, however, that the re-
commentator of the Congressional delegation will
be likely to have more weight with the President
elect than that OF the Electors for he can now do
without tue aiu OF tne Electors out he cannot do
without that of our Representatives in Congress
Upon these latter, in great measure, he must ne
cessarily depend for the support and success of his
administration. How, then, by pleasing Wise and
the Electors, he afford to oepd those upon whom
he is bound to rely for carrying out the measures
and policy of his Administrations
1t is clear that this unfortunate bout between the
Wise and Hunter factions has placed old Buck in a
most delicate and ticklish position The only way
for him to avoid giving offence to either is for him 10
disregard and repudiate the recommendations of both
"a course which we, upon our own independent
hook, would take the liberty of suggesting to him.
in the friendliest spirit imaginable. Let him follow
our advice in this matter and he will be sure to steer
clear of the shoals and quicksands which lie in his
way-and his administration may perhaps be n
success. And what is more, it would be immense
y gratifying to the disnerested patriotic men of all
parties in Virginia if he would promptly cut each
and all of our rapacious Virginia aspirants, and leave
them in retirement to mediate on the folly an I'M
brdled and INSCRIPTIONS ambition Let him do this,
and we at once become his organ in Virginia, and
will support his administration with the utmost zeal
and fidelity.
