AN EDITOR GONE CRAzY.-The following burst
of magnloquence il from the Norfolk News, and
Mr.. Douglas must feel highly complimented:
:" As the heights of Chimborazo towering high
above the surrounding scenery, inspire the be-
holder with reverence for the majesty of God so,
among men, do the mental and moral attributes OF
one raising immeasuraby pre-eminent above Others,
teach us true sense of the majesty of man. Both
owe their paternity to the same divine architect.
The mighty mountain i~ physically grand. The
lent conyulson of nature, Chimborazo rose, for
some wise purpose, ordained by natures God, and
amid the storms and trouble Of politics. the gigan-
tic genius of Stephen A. Douglas was also sum
moned from obscurty, to play prominent part in
the great drama of human existence. Once an un-
known artisan, he Ia now numbered among the
noblest, and abest, and truest of the wise men of
the world"

Old Line wings.

The movement for State Convention Of the
Old Line Wings having started in the county Of
Augusta, We took some pains during our recent
visit to Staunton to find out far possible the
object of that movement, and we think we can
safely say that, if the proposed Whig Convention
be held il will unanimously nominate Millard Fill
more as its choice for the Presidency. Those Old
Line Wings who are still unwilling to unite with
US in supporting Fillmore as the nominee Of the
American party will heartily sustain him as the
nominee Of Whg Convention.
Charlottesville Advertiser.
The Old Line Wings Of Virginia, like the same
party in Tennessee and New York, are men Of
patriotic principles and sound common sense, as
with here and there an exception, are also the
Old Line Wings throughout the Union. tits true,
we hear now and then that the Hon. Mr.. Bun
combs or Judge Fogy will not support Mr. Fill
more but when the motives Of their refusal are
analysed, it is discovered that they were either
connected with the Galphins, whose designations
Mr.. Fillmore very properly accepted, or that they
have some private grudge against that gentleman
for refusing to appoint their friends to Offices
which they were incompetent to FILL
The main cause Of the opposition to Mr.. Fill
more, on the part Of the Republican leaders in New
York and New England, arises from the fact that
Mr. Fillmore, when President, would not listen to
their unscrupuous demands upon the United States
Treasury. He resolutely turned deaf ear TO the
Stewards, the Msttesons, the Weeds, and other
leeches, who were constantly crying, like their
prototype Of yore, "Give! givel" and by so doing
committed, in their eyes, the objectionable sn.--
They want man at the head Of the government
who will be plable, Of easy virtue, corrupt, un-
scrupulous sectional-a perjurer and traitor.
Knowing Mr.. Fillmore TO be the exact opposite Of
all these they prefer to him the present incumbent
Of the Presidential chair, or some other Democrat
equally false and equally imbecile.

CALIFoRNIA-A San Francisco correspondent
under recent date gives quite gloomy picture
of things in the land Of gold The population of
San Francisco, as a mass, have lost much Of that
energy and enterprising spirit that characterized
the early growth Of the country. Signs of improve
ment are no longer visible and all things are said
to bear shade of gloom as if some great calamity
had befallen the people. Crowds still throng the
streets as formerly, but with no other purpose
than to be on the lookout for something to turn
up" or to kill time by promenading and sight
seeing. The thousands who flock with high hopes
to the mines many of them having formerly relin-
quished a comfortable home aud support in the
East, in short time return to the city dsap-
pointed and disgusted, to exc out miserable ex.
istence as servants and common la5orers
A wonderful and strik ne evidence Of the retro
grade movement which affairs have assumed In
San Francisco is furnished by the fact as stated
that many of the streets over the water which are
simply wharves on piles, are 30 broken up and SO
full of holes that they cannot be trnversed at night
without imminent risk of life. Indeed" contin-
ues writer, "a week does not pass that lives are
not lost by strangers plungng through these open
ings into the ter, and comparatively few come
up alive from the dark waters below. The cost oil
burial to the city of these victims of its neglect,
has actually been more the year past than would
repair these places and remove these dangerous
man-traps."
Speculation we are informed is still wreckiug the
fortunes of many, comparatively few Of the mer.
chants of 1853 have survived the reverses Of the
succeeding period Three or four per cent. pei
month interest Is now generally ruinous to the bor-
rover If not to both parties. Immense amounts
of money it is said have been lent on mortgages o
real estate, which has so greatly deprecated in
value, that unless by reaction one-half can never
be realized --Boit american.
