ALONG CoMsEsc EMENT.-We notice in the columna
of contemporary the appointments of E. W. Robert
SON. the Democratic candidate for Auditor to haangue
the .'unwashed. The first time of speaking is on
the 18th inst. This is commencing early, but that
may be attributed to the fact that the Democracy
want long talking to- to convince them of the beauty
of their principles and to teach the naughty boys of
this Congressional District that unless they come out
and vote for old Tom Green Davidson, whether they
like him Or not, they will be ruled out Of the party
and eiassed as Knouc- Nothings." So said E. w. r.
in the Convention, and as he claims to be leader
you must do it, or take the awful consequences.
West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter 18th inst.
Col. Robertson will make a long strong and indus
trous effort, to secure his election, as well as
the triumph of his party. He is not, in our humble
opinion, as formidable antagonist as the present
courteous able and efficient Auditor, Hon. Samuel F.
Marks, would prove, yet his opponent will find him
by no means contemplate competitor Neither will
the party that opposes him.
By the way the antiDavidson Democrats in the
Third District whom Col. Robertson told that they
would be "suled out of the party and ciassed as Roc-
Nothings,' unless they supported him Davidson, }
ought to feel peculiarly uncomfortable or rebellious
about the region of the stomach. Unconditional sub.
mission, stern rebellion, ignominious classification,
according to the Democratic dictionary their por-
ton. Well, what do they think of it?

II The Burdell Will case attracts much at
tention in New York, and will doubtless result in
establishing the validity Of the marriage. The
testimony on Monday proves conclusvely that
either DR.. Burdell was ubiquitous, or there has
been no slight departure from truth on the part of
witnesses on each sdesjf while it has been
positively sworn that he was in Herkimer on the
18th, Goth, and 27th of October last MONDAYS
evidence shows him to have been in New York.
Again, in his declarations Of and relations to Mrs
Cunningham, he appears Janus-like-at one and
the same time writing and speaking Of her as
''she devil " and an ''angel,' 'sfend in human
shape" and the best woman that ever lived, -
Tor whom " he would sacrifice his life.n Miss
Van Ness, who had long experience, testifes to
the most unvarying and tender intercourse be-
tween them - a.

About $50 miles west of Detroit We entered
upon more inviting region, that became 30,
however, very leisurely. At Kalamazoo 1t had
become quite 80. K. is a town of about 5000
Inhabitants, wherein some manufacturing is
done, which gives it thrifty appearance. We
followed the valley of the Kalamazoo river,
from the town of that name, by Marshall and
Albion, which latter point we have just left.
This valley, where not rendered uncultiyatable
by marshes and lagoons, is not of better soil
than barely fair average Maryland or Vir-
ginia lands, if 50 good .t..f ..
At a point forty-seven miles west of Detroit
we met the first emigrant train, consisting of
perhaps ten rough cars, carrying Germans of
all ages. These cars were 30 packed as that.
counting men, women and children, they would
probably average l ZOO souls to the train. I
pray they may find no lack of soap and water
on arriving at their destination.
At the same point the first female book peddler
or beggar made her appearance on the train.
She was young and pretty, and had studied the
art of extracting quarters from the young
pumpkins Of this region, to whom her appeals
to purchase her wares-trasby verses by some
blind woman of Detroit, who has no other
means of making living" &C., were almost
invariably made. W.D. WI.
