I57Buohanan has given the South ma
joriiy in his Cabinet, but failed to reward
the patriotic old line wings, who were SO
beslobered with praise before the election,
and so stuffed with promises as to what was
to be done for them. The nationals Of Mis-
souri,, notwithstanding their organs were
continually patting old line YhIgs on the
back, and suggesting their names for this
and that place, did not reward one of their
faithful allies, except Mr.. Speaker Harri-
son, and him they turned upon, and made
his seat too hot for him. Old line wings
were talked Of for Senator-they were
talked of for Governor-and they were
talked of for the Cabinet, but it was only
talkl As corrupt as the leaders are, they
hate treachery, yet for prudential reasons
tickle the fancy Of traitor. Gov. Polk,
undoubtedly owed his election TO old line
wing influence and votes, yet he had nc
word for an old line wing United State,
Senator-nor even for an old line whig e
step in his cast-of slippers. The organ'
are again flattering the patriotic old liners
for they want their votes and influence

them into full fellowship, until after tn,

The CaowING WHEAT IN VIRGINA.-
The Staunton Spectator says:-We are in
for.nc1 by farmers that the growing wheat
in This oour'y looks badly. In some parts
OF Eastern Virginia it was greatly injured
bv the recent severe weather. A gentleman
informs US that friend in Missouri writes
10 hin that the wheat in that region never
before was so unpronisng at this season.
The Winchester Virginian says:-Appre-
tensions of considerable injury to our staple
crop in this quarter, do not seem to be sus-
tanned. On limestone lands the wheat sell
dom looked better at this season. On lighter
soils the frost has done more mischief
From many portions of Eastern Virginia the
accounts are very gloomy.
We learn from the Danville { Va Regis.
ter, that the wheat in that section is looking
very promising. 1t is said to be thick and
green, and the weather is now very favora'
BILE to it.

VIM. Leteher, ESQ.

Although we differ with the representa-
tive from Saline county in politics, yet we
cannot but congratulate our neighbors upon
the fortunate selection they have made Of
a representative. Mr.. LETcHER is think
ing mana gentleman of incorruptible hon
esty liberal education and requirements. and
q clear and forcible debater. His speech on
the Railroad question, on last Friday week,
is said to be one of the ablest arguments de-
livered Turing the session. We did rot
hear it; but competent judges-men who
differed with him on the subject discussed
informed us that it was certainly the speech
Of the session.
Mr.. Letcher is one of the most unobtru.
sive and modest members of the Legislature
and ever ready TO extend courtesies Ia
strangers who may happen at the Capitol
So long as the people of Saline are TO be
represented by gentleman of opposite pol
itics to our own, we hope Mr.. LErcHEH
will be the man.
The foregoing is from democratic pa
per printed at Lexington, and but does jus
tice to Mr.. LETonER's general character
and abilities, and the particular effort allu
ded to. The last Legislature was rathe
distinguished for men of "small BORE" VIII
were continually on the floor, and neve
said anything. Mr.. L. spoke but once, ant
his effort extorted praise from enemies
The American party had other member
there, that did not even speak once, VIII
had more sense in minute than many G
the nationals who ever had their mouth
open, would show in life time.

I7-The St. Louis papers are agitatine

I-The St. Louis papers are agitating the
subject Of their charter election. Parties
are SO cut up in that city, that it is impossi-
BILE for any party, single handed, to elect its
ticket. The Democrat is for party nomi-
nation-a full Benton ticket. The Repub-
lican is getting up peoples ticket. The
Catholic Leader intimates that the Nationals
will support their own ticket, ~ while the
lntelligencer squints at fusion Of the A
merican and Benton forces. This latter
proposition strikes the Nationals as very
dangerous movement, and already are edi-
tors in the "rural districts" carpng about a
fusion of the Americans and Free-soilers in
st. Louis, and saying the American party
is free oilized. They have forgotten, poor
souls, that their party, in St. Louis, last
year, in order to defeat the American can
didate, voted for free-soil How, for mayor.
We heard good Nationals, in this town, de-
fend and applaud their course. What was
right last spring, however, may be very
wrong now. Our people, hercabouts, last
spring, thought they were aiding to estab.
fish slavery in Kansas, but it turns out they
were only building up the National Demo.
cratic party, which now "iorgets slavery
and anti-slavery." Times do change, ant
with them, men, verify!

Important Movement.

The St. Louis Republican says-The re-
cent decision Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, by which it is settled that
"fire' is not one Of the "perils of naviga-
tion," unless expressly stated in the bills Of
ladng of steam and other vessels, has in
duccd an important movement on the part
of masters and owners of freighting vessels.
At meeting held at the Exchange Rooms
on Friday last, it was resolved TO add "fire''
10 the exceptions usually contained in bills
of lading; and that no bills of lading be sign
ed by officers of boats not containing tie
clause, changers Of navigation and fire only
excepted" The full proceedings are pub.
lished in another column. 1t is supposed
that the interest in other cities will follow
up this movement, and very soon it will be
acquiesced in as very reasonable excep-
ton in all contracts Of this kind.
