GENIUS IN TIE UNITED STATES SENATE.--That
world-renowned statesman, General Cass, is to be
succeeded in the United States Senate by Black
Republican, very lily qualified for his position. The
Detroit Free Press relates the following anecdote of
him:
"During the late campaign, Mr.. Zachnriah Chan
dler, United States Senator elect, improved hmself
in stump speaking by taking lessons Of a recently
graduated youth of the University, named Dexter.
On one occasion Dexter had taught him to recite
extract from Burke, which was intended to be
brought in with great force and tremendous ap-
pause. Having heard him recite, just before time
for public speaking, Dexter went down to hear and
see Zacharah, climb the tree He did it well, the
passage from Burke was finished and drew down
the paudits Of the multitude. But in order to give
it still more force, Chandler remarked in his most
impressive manner: 'Such-such fellow citizens
the language of the immortal Burke, tn the Sen.
ate of the United States"

"DIsINTEREsrED" PRoPosrrIoN-The Editor Of the
Fredericksburg News, who attended the inangura-
ton without baggage, was led into many solemn
Elections on the way the injustice of charging
baggageess passenger as much as with two or
three trunks, weighing, with himself, some four or
five hundred pounds. He suggests that baggage
and passengers be charged for separately, and that
all passengers ought to be weighed and charged ac-
cordingly. Crutchfeld, of the Express, who weighs
not less than 2l7 pounds, objects to this unjust
sec n, that the Editor of the News does not weigh
more than l30 pounds.

ROTATION IN OFFIcE.-Some of the papers are
publishing, under the head of Ting" the state
ment that the administration at Washington has
determined to establish and risidy adhere to the
rule of rotation in office-that is, to appoint new
men to office in every case, as commissions expire.
We do not believe it. The administration will
doubtless recognize and employ the best talent,
without regard to such rule and the fact that man
is already in Office, if he have been faithful will not
operate against him.

the appropriation for the u S. Arsenal was passed.
The amount is $4,000, and intended to procure the

eYF The Richmond Enquirer aludes in the fol!
lowing terms to the approaching elections in Virgin
las and the question of the publicIsnds
THE ELECTIONS IN MAYA few days ago We
appealed to the Democracy throughout the length
and breadth of the State, to organize early aud thor
oughiy, to buckle on their armor and prepare for
the onslaught of the opposition in May. And to-
day we earnestly urge upon them again the impor-
tance of an active canvass and an uncomprom;sing
adherence 10 the ntiexibe principles of the party.
1t is needless to say that unusua, eyertion is not
necessary 10 enable to elect every member of
Congress, and to secure very large majority of the
next Legislature. But the galvanic action of the
opposition the public land question: unless expos
ed in all it" fasity and folly, and crushed ,o the
dust by the indignant denunciaon of the indomila-
table Democracy, may serve to seduce many right
minded men from the proper political pathway, and
introduce into the next Legislature of Virginia
two of those nondescript, sol disant Democrats,
who ardently advocate State rights, and swear by
the shade of Calhoun that the Constitution should
be most rgidly and strictly construed but believe
shat old Virginia Is most abOminably abused in the
inordinate taxation of her people, and can see no
other means of redress than that of demanding her
proportion of the public lands!
We heartily hope that every pseudo Democrat in
the State, who either avows his advocacy of dstr.
button shrinks from the issue in The slightest de-
gree, under any pretext whatever may meet that
fate the hands of his fellowcitizens in the outset
which will inevitably await him in the ranks Of the
Democracy for the future. The land question in
wolves the soul and substance. the elements and es-
of one Of the purest and proudest principles
of our party. And let no man cquivocate it, who
would c9im to be considered conservative. a con-
sttutionaiist, lover of Virginia. Never at any
previous period in the political history Of the Ameri-
can people, has there been more urgent necessity
for undertaking devotion to principle the part
of the Democracy of Virginia, than now. As the
citadel of the South and the conservator Of the Un.
of contemptuous for everything that trenches
upon the Constitution and the rights Of the States

Mr.. DObbin.

Mr.. Dobbin left Washington City on Monday, in
the steamer Water Witch, which vas placed at his
service by Mr. Secretary Toucey, for Norfolk.
large number of friends assembled at the Navy Yard
to bid him farewell. He was expected at Whining
ton on Wednesday evening. "Hcnce to Fayette-
vile" says the Herald, "Mr. Dobbn has had one of
the up river boats the Magnolia, if We are correctly
informed, placed at his disposal"
The National Intelligencer states that Mr. Dobbin's
health appears to have suffered much from the
severe abors of his Office, attendant upon the close
of the session of Congress- but trusts that his native
air will soon restore him.
On Saturday last number of the officers of the
Navy assembled informally at the Navy Department.
and went in body to take leave Of Mr.. Dobbin, at
his residence Commodore Shubrick, the senior
officer, addressed him follows:
I'm taking leave of you, sir am sure that speak
the sentiments of the officers of the navy when
say there is but feeling among them in regard to
yourself, that Of lively sense of the kindness and
courtesy which all have experienced at your hands.
In the history Of the progress Of the your ad
mnistration will be strongly marked by the addition
OF splendid steam rgateS made to the efficient force
ahoat; and We hope that when time shall have worn
out the asperties unavoidably attendant all great
reforms another feature of your administration may
receive the appreciation of all who have at heart the
true interests Of our service.
1--WE have now sir to bid you afeconate
adieu and 10 implore for you restoration to health
and the enjoyment Of happiness here and hereafter"
To which Mr.. Dobbin, with much feeling rejoined
81 am, sir, deeply affected by your kind express
slons, and can scarce reply. l could not make
speech If my voice would permit. Ny heart is too
full for words.
"In the administration of the Navy Department
have endeavored earnestly to discharge my whole
duty justly and impartally. That may have com-
mitted errors | cannot doubt; but if So God knows
they have been OF the head, not OF the heart.
"My close intercourse with the officers of the navy
for four years past has taught to appreciate and
to admire their skill, their patriotism, their gallant
ry, their devotion, and their sefdcnia; and shall
remember with grateful kindness the consider
alton and the courtesy they have ever extendsd to
me, and the confidence they reposed in me, AID to
the last hour of my life shall feel friendly and
affectionate interest in whatever may betide them.
