GRAPHIc.-An editor "out west" says:
We had concluded the labors of the week,
and were about to retire for the night, what
was left of it, when our ears were greeted
by strange and alarming sound, Tint OF the
Institute bell. We hastened out into driv-
ing snow storm, to learn where the fire wis,
and some good danes, as we have since
learned, got out of bed, and put on their as
cension robes, to be in readiness for the in-
surrection or resurrection, they didn't know
which, but they were sure that either the
dead or the negroes were rising. As If a
live niger or dead white man would
rise such night as that! 1t turned out to
be- only a wagoner's fire. We went to bed.
We trust, for their husbands sakes, they
did; for that night, as we are informed,

Gov. CoBB.-The Washington correspon.
dent of the Charleston News in his last letter
says:
Gov. Cobb, of Georgia, has, it is said, been
settled upon as the Premier. Some persons
doubt his ability to fill the place. This aris.
es from the fact that the Governors talent is
of that character that it never exerts itself
beyond the emergency demanding its excr-
else. He never shows himself to be any
thing more than is necessary for the occa
sion. As Secretary of State he would be a
safe man and would prove that he posses
ses the ability to fill the place.

Hardly week passes but runaway ne.
