Governor Wise.

Upon the late letter of Governor Wise.
of Virginia, in which he takes bold ground
III favor of submitting the Lecompton fKansas)
Constitution to vote of the people, the Rich
mond Enquirer says;
His Tammany letter, it is true, was as unac-
ceptable as it was unexpected to many of his
friends, among the stad Democracy of the Old
Dominion. But it has not driven them from
him. 1t has not shaken their confidence in his
fidelity to the South. 1t has not induced a dis
trust OF his devotion to the Democratic party
Some OF our Southern contemporaries of the press,
beyond the limits OF Virginia, may ask how it
is, why it is, that Henry A. Wise is so 0mnipo-
tent in his own State that even his letter to the
Tammany Society, in which they see so much
of treason, has not torn him down from the en-
inence he occupies in the largest sIayeholding
State in the Union? We will anticipate the
question and answer it in few words 1t is
because the people of Virginia know the man.
Because he has the heart of a patriot, the head
OF statesman, and the spirit of hero. Be-
cause his views on all questions, whether of To-
eal State, or Federal policy, are never contract
ed. but always comprehensive, and generally
original and practical Because he thinks fol
himself, without waiting for the wind vane O
popular sentiment TO direct him. Because hi:
allegiance to the South is based upon convictions
OF justice ana right; and because that Tammany
letter proclaims principle upon the mainten
ance of which the equality and security of til,
slave States in the Union depend. When tn,
letter appeared in the public prints we express
ed the opinion that it was calculated to embar
rass the Democratic party, or that portion of ii
at least, which concurred with the Adminstra
ton in favor OF the acceptance of the Lecomp
ton Constitution without further conditions
We still think so. But we have never dissentet
from the views it announced on the abstrac
principle-that in this country the people alone
arc sovereign and supreme. And no man car
dispute that principle, without rendering him.
self liable to be charged with being monarch
ist. Governor Wise has always been zealou:
defender of popular rights. And in no instance
has he ever more boldly declared his sentiments
on any subject than on the Kansas question, il
his Tammany letter.

A well-to-do farmer of Springport three years
ago had little alteration with his WIFE and
while conversing with her took up pail to go
after some water. His long absence awakened
the fears of the wife, who suspected at once
that he had made an end to his life by throwing
himself into the WELL The we'll was according
ly searched, but the husband was not found.
The friendly neighbors industriously sought for,
but found no traces of him. Last week, while
his family were at tea; the missing husband
walked into the room with the pail of water in
his band, put it into its usual place, and sat
down to the table as if nothing had happened.

of water, had visited California and Australia,
and had !" turned up" again with handsome
little fortune in his pocket.

s. A.CoNGREssIoNAL ELEcTIoS-It is understood
that an effort will be made during the present
session of the Legislature, to postpone the
next election of Congressman to the fall of 1859.
We think this should be done. The next census
will be taken in 1860, when our population will
entite us to five or six members of Congress-
If the law remains unchanged, however, and the
again two years after, in 1860, and before the
State is re-districted upon the basis of the next
census, we will lose the benefit of an increased
representation in 186l-iustead of having five
or six representatives in Congress, as our popu-
lation would then enttle US to, we will have
out two, our present number. We therefore
heartily approve the proposed law.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.--Under the title of g lie
Fruit Defendu,' THE Forbidden Fruit,) a come
dy in three acts, by II. Camille Doucet, has just
been produced at the Theatre Francois, Paris,
for the plot of which the following hint is given
by one of the London papers:
"a very young man has two charming
ns, with whom he has been a footing of the
most affectionate familiarity, but without falling
in love with either The cousins marry, and he
Is Immediately in love with hoth--they are ''for-
hidden fruit" A wary old uncle, fearing that
the two young ladies may be compromised, ad-
rises the young man to marry, and tells him
that he may take any woman he pleases except
his cousin Jane--a charming girl-but that be
must on no account think of her, as fatal cir
cumstances render marriage between them i'm
possible. Jane thus becomes in her turn "for-
hidden fruit; and such is the charm which for
hidden things possess in the eyes of man, as
| they did in those of Mother Eve, that he falls
passinnately in love with his cousin. After a
due amount of perplexity. it turns out that the
uncle told fib in saying that there was an OBJ
stacle to his marriage with Jane, and they wed.
This plot, it will be seen, is rather interesting,
and is somewhat out of the old beaten track,

We went up on the hill and took look at

city? The houses were lying around loose in
every directon-here, a big one six stories high,
in the midst of half dozen halfstory shanties
there seven or eight were ''piled," one on the
other, all leaning against the sand hills like q
drunken man to a lamp post There were long
flights of stairs to soms of them, and when we
went up, we were in the basement, Some were
warped and cracked some were tottering over
and had props under them; and it all looked
like there had been big flood in the mines,
and foated off lot of little mining towns
houses, streets and all-and brought them here,
where they had got all jnmhled together into
dead eddy; and when the water fell, they were
left sprawlng about in the sand hills and tules,
like cakes of ice on meadow at the breaking
up of a hard winter in sugar making time.
