On last Sunday when the chimnevs Of the
Capitol were blown down. there were some
gentlemen enjoying a social game at cards. in
the texas OF the boat. at this ~iuncture the ex-
eme OF betting ran pretty high. An
old gentleman who had weathered beaver
storms than that Of Sunday. held four aces.
while some OF the other gentlemen held good
hands. We did not understand exactly the
amount bet. but believe it was about $50
The crash. hustle and racket caused ly the

gentlemen. who wee thinking more about
ihelr lives than their money, SO much that
they lett hat, coat. money and all. and the last
was seen OF them they were breaking out of
the room at every air-hole, but this old gen
tIeman, life or death. wasn't to loose what
his four aces called for. SO he quietly drew
down the pile, and after counting it over.

ceivlns no answer, he looked up over his
glasses, and found to his utter establishment,

VIRGINIA FOR FILLNoR IT'S almost GER
tain says the \. Q. Bulletin Of the 18th inst,
that Virginia will cast her fifteen votes fer
Fillmore. We establish this proposition thus
Gov. Wise Was elected by ten thousand ma
;ority. He himself acknowledge that he re-
ceived at least twelve thousand Old Line
Wing votes. His opponent, Floarnoy, was
extremely objectionable to them on accooat
of his religious intolerance. Besides, Wise
convassed the State with the most unilasgins
energy and perseverance. His opponent
never stirred and suffered the election to GO
by default. Wise Acknowledged that had ii
not been for the Old Line Wings he should
have been defeated even under all these cir
cumstances in his favor. Now. the case is
entirely different. The popularity OF Mr..
Fillmore in the Old Dominion is almost
boundless. His noble integrity, his manly
bearing. his devotion to the Iuion and the
Constitution, his Roman tirnneSs in meeting
dra in his der land his mastery administration
Of the government, while President have all
tended TO raise the utmost enthusiasm in his
favor throughout the country, and nowhere
10 a greater extent than in Virginia. The
Old Line Wings have therefore formally de-
clared in his favor, and every portion of the
State will lie eanvassed with a sigor and a
downright hearty good will, which will not
fail to make an impression. Under all these
favorable circumstances We can hardly en-
te. tain a duHbt as to the success ef NIr. Fill
more in the Stale. We are perfectly aware
of the fact that Virginia has been a Demicra-
tic stronghold, hitherto impregenable: but
the considerations just stated lead US strongly
to the opinion that he will carry the State
We may be disappointed, but We think not.

The ADDRESS OK THE CENTRAL Couu1r-
TEE OF THE DEMocRAcy.-This document
contains some suggestive paragraphs. For
the present it is sufficient to call attention to
the following:
"lts history that of the American partv.)
though short, is one Of principles perverted
Of pledges repudiated. FORMULATING the
axiom that "the Office should seek the man
and not the man the Office il has presented
a lust for Office and office-huntin bayins no
parallel IN this or any other country.n
When the American party rose In our CITY
and State, says the n. O. Clcole, almost in a
day to power and commanding position, every
old politician, down to those pensioned off bv
the Democracy: rushed into its ranks. Their
enthusiasm was such that you might almost
suppose a resurrection o dry bones had AIKEN
place, the worn out etiigies of manhood nutt-
ing on the very flush and vigo1 of YOUTH
But the cause Of this wonderful change was
soon apparent. They-many of the recruits
from the Democracy-proved to be mere Of
flce-hunters intead Of patriots. They Joined
the American party to rule and profit bv it.
not through patriotism or a love of principle
They-the old leaders of the Democracy
We're the men who, in the American ranks.
showed an inordinate lust for office. Tho
honesty and determination of the masses curh-
ed their ambition-restrained their aspirations
and now where are they? Gone back to
to the party whose motto is ITO the ~victors
belongs the spoils': of Office. Not one of the
long list of men who have made themselves
notorious for their open withdrawal from the
American party, but what was a disappointed
man. This LISTING for office is now TO be
io"fd IN the Democratic ranks from which
1t came out, and where it naturally belongs.

In the British Islands at last accounts, the
weather was favorable and the crop looked
well. IN France there is some fear of a
short crop, but any deficiency will be largely
supplied from the countries bordering on the

from Russia. In Russia the crops are repor-
ted as promising well. This prospect of cheap
bread Is a joyous one for the toiling millions.
