THOSE who write for the AtLgntic 1onthEy
Magazine, down in Boston," constitute club,
who wine and dine together-just as other folks
do for euchre and whist purposes. a letter in
of the club, from WITCH We Ep ek stgh
dent members, well known as the most clubabIe
men in New England, are Longfellow, Holmes,
Emerson, Agassiz Lowell, FELTON,, Whipple,
and few others; and when an out-oftown con-
tributor happens, by any untoward dispensation
ofProvidence, to find himself in their bailewick,
heis promptly ferreted out, and put through that
grand process of gOrging for which the literary
men of Boston have such wondrous gifts. A
gentleman of New York, who had scrubbed
somewhat for the Oceanic, recently visited Bos-
ton, and found himself at the proper hour, seat
ed at the club table, and around him Lowell,
Holmes, Charles Norton, Higginson, Edmund
Quincy, and Whipple. The food and the fun,
the wit and the wine, were generous, juicy, and
sparklng-Holmes, of course, being the auto.
crat, but all bright CHEEKY and flowing
The correspondent of the Press advises any
gentleman who feels little in the dumps, to 90
on to Boston and "put up" with them short
time, if he can.

0rR always sprightIy and readable cotempor-
airy, the Richmond Wig, is out in an enthusi-
astic call for an opposition candidate to John
fletcher, the democratic nominee. The peculiar
cause of the Wigs hostility to Letcher, and
the source of its hopes for the prospect of the
opposition candidate, is the fact of Letcher's
having advocated the doctries of the Ruffner
pamphlet We tell the Wig in advance, that
if the Ruffner pamphlet is to be the slogan eff
the Opposition, the rallyng cry of battle, it had
better never enter the field. That Ruffner pamph-
let this day commands the silent approval of tens

John Letcher stood by that document, even at
the peril of the Petersburg nomination, he
would have had the proudest record of any liv-

YANKEE YIsfT TO CARLYLR.-The Rev. Theo-
dOre Clapp, formerly of New Orleans, in an au-
photography, gives the following account of his
introduction to the "Creat Censor of the Age"
Thomas CARLYLE. Having received letters of in
roduc6en from Mr.. Bancroft, the American
Ambassador at the English Court, he called at
the door of his residence a lady, with very
intelligent appearance. received the visitor:
81 have called, this morning. he said. ssto
see Mr.. Carlyle; is he at homer" She replied,
| '!Mr Carlyle has just entered his study, and no
gentleman can see him this morning. If the
Queen of England should now call here and re-
/ quest an interview, it would not be granted."-
/ The Doctor asked ifshe could oblige him by Ia
king written message to the study. An afir-
native answer was given, when he wrote with
a pencil the following words:
| Dear Sir: No gentleman, but man is at your
door-a Unitarian, Yankee, Democrat and
a radical, all the way from the banks of the
| Mississippi; careful reader and great admi-
rer of Mr.. Carlyle, and begs the favor of short
interview, which must be granted nol1, or never
this side the grave.
The letter of introduction was sent with this
unique note. Directly the invitation came
| walk up, sir; 1 shall be happy to see You."-
We copy DIR. Clapp's account Of this interview
! 81 was received in the most kind and uncere
monious manner. The topics on which ",
conversed were so numerous that have MOI
room even to mention them. The colloquia
style of this gentleman is plain, easy and unaf
fected, and bears no resemblance to that of hi
later writings; has none of those qualities com
monty called transcendental. Our conversation
was protracted until afternoon Though 1 ros
several times to depart, he insisted upon nv
staying longer so earnestly that l acceded t.
his wishes. Much of the time was spent in an
swering his inquiries concerning the statistics o
the United States, the peculiarities of our gov
eminent, laws, manners, schools, churches, lit
erature, &c He protested to be much gratifie,
with the information which 1 gave him in regar,
TO these subjects.

The Michigan papers announce the convic-
ton and sentence of Fuller and Walker, for the
murder of Holden, at Ann Harbor. This mans
life was insured for the sum of s29, 600, in New
York, Maine and Hartford; the payment of
which sum was resisted by the companies, on
the ground that deceased committed suicide
Such resistance was made that Mrs Holden
compromised the case for 100000, and so lost
$4,000.
Gov. wlsE's Organ, the Richmond Eagirsr,
yesterday shows symptoms of getting tired Of
Buchanan.
For instance, thus:
We have carefully considered the contents of
this document Qhe message, and before entering
into written discussion of its separate features,
must premise by avowing that in our opinion, its
departures from the rule of political faith, laid
down in the platform of the Democratic Repub.
ican party, are too marked and too frequent, to
admit of its endorsement by the Democracy of
Virginia.
Now, there's something that, to say theleast,
looks as much, if not more like swing of on
the part of the Wise Democrats from the Ad-
ministration, as old Polonius' cloud looked like
u whale. Folly as much.

FATAL ACCIDENT, Friday evening, about
six o'clock, the stage which rims between South
bridge and Charlton station having just returned
from the latter place and distributed its passen
gers, stopped in front of the post Office at Globe
Village, which is one mile from the centre of the
town. The driver Benjamin franklin, stepped
into the office for moment, leaving the reius in
hands Of boy about twelve years of age, whom
he left on the seat. He had hardly got in
to the Office, when the horses started ahead to-
ward their stable. Mr. F. ran and caught one of
the leaders by the head, and ne aud the herse
both came down together, the horse falling upon
him, breaking Mr. F.'s neck by the fall, so that
he Immediately expired. The boy was thrown
from his seat upon the ground, and ii was feared
at the time, that he was fatally injured, but, on
Saturday, he much better, with fair pros
pect of recovery. The horses continued on, and
near the centre of the town. the body of the coach
was thrown from the fore wheels, and consider
ably shattered. The horses finally brought up at
their staole.N Mr.. franklin was very worthy
man, and his sudden and violent death caused
profound sensation in Southbridge He was un-
married, but leaves an aged mother, to mourn his
untimely end. 1t seems very fortunate that the
passengers had all been left, before the accident
happened.
