The Democratic press of Virginia have opened

The Democratic press of Virginia have opened
in full cry upon their old trail Of anti distribution.
They do not seem to understand that il has un-
dergone a complete change sinee they last scent
ed it: that there is no longer such thing n
anti.distrbaron that the contrary policy has
been irrevoeaby determined by majority OF their
own Marty representatives IN the Senate that
the public lards are going, by huge gifts. to such
States as will receive Them aud that the only cues
ton now is. whether Virginia will secure TO herself
the portion to which she is entitled as member
of the alliance of States or will permit 1t 10
be taken from her aud appropriated 10 other
States. All talk against the policy of distribu-
ton is now idle. stale and obsolete. Virginia
Democracy, aided by the mighty power OF the
Presidential veto, has been unable 10 stay, for

SANTA Annals RETURN.-From a fully reliable
source, we learn that the respecting the pro-
liability of the return of Santa Anna to Mexico is
based upon facts of the most important character
We are informed there is no doubt that Captain
General Concha, Of Cuba, has made a contract with
Santa Anna to provide the latter with three vessels
of war, and from 800 to 5000 men, expenses to
be paid by Santa Anna with whom he is to endeavor
to take Commonfort's place, and that subsequently
Santa Anna is to satisfy the demands of Spain
against Mexico. The contract is signed, and the
only question is, whether Spain authorized Coneha
to make the bargain. OF this we think there can
be but little doubt. If this work is to be DONE the
sending of an additional naval force to Cuba, to
protect it from the United States was no idle pre-.
csution.-AspiH10aU Courier, July IL.

THE WIDOW OF HENRY CLAY.-A correspondent
of the St. Louis Republican, who was present at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Clay monument at
Lexington, the 4h July, thus refers in his letter
to that Journal to the venerable widow of the great
Kentucky Salesman
"BefOre leaving Ashland 1 passed over to the
residence of Mr.. John Clay, to pay my respects to
the widow of Henry Clay. At the hour of the visit
she was out taking evening ride. 1 met her,
however, amid the scenery endeared to her by a
thousand associations-on beautiful drive through
the shades of the woodland pastures of Ashland.
"Mrs. Clay is seventy-six years of age Until
within year she has been in hearty good health
Her feebleness is now, however, growing manifest
and the time is not remote, when in the tomb to be
erected for her husband. and by his side, she too
will be consigned to her final earthly repose May
her closing days be tranquil, hopeful and happy
