are but lew watering places on the route
from the PecOs to the Rio Grande. The
herd had no water for sevenLv>Six hours.

off their bots or shoes, caught the thick,

doing saved their lives. The cattle were
all very much excited, many of them
would fight, and the men were compel
led to shoot many.
We went into the Sand Hills with
$500 head of cattle, or struck the sand

MEsRRs. ED1roRs: Every lover Of truth

County. Who could have believed that

have given their support to a wing Know
Nothing rather than to good, honest,
we'll qualified member oftheir own party?
What must be the conclusion Of every re-
aecting man who looks upon matters i'm
partially? Will it not be said by such
that there is great want of firmness. self
possession, regard for selfrespect, hon.
or and political reputation; or defeat as
it respects qualification TO form correct
judgement relative TO the true nature Of
things-in a word, destitution of1integrity
or knowledge, positive corruption or igno
rance. One of these must be true, as is
self-evident from the fact that the demo.
cratic partyhaving majorityof some three
hundred votes in the County stands
greatly in the minority in this contest
They and they only are guilty OF this
evil, and it is not to be expected that the
party that has gained the victory through
their treachery will even thank or respect
them. No. unfaithfuness is viewed with
disrespect and contempt by praiseworthy

by the offer of a large sum Of money,
but these men have bartered themselves

they have given their hands to the

The Next Governor.

MEssRs EDIToRs =
Since the public mind has been direct.
ed to this subject we have endeavored to
obtain. from various sources, information
OF the wishes and sentiments of The peo>
Pile of this section Of Virginia. in relation
to the person whom they would prefer to
see elevated 10 this high and responsible
position. and the result Of these inquiries,
from prominent gentlemen, has been sat.
isfactory TO our minds at least, that no
name that has been mentioned. stands
so prominent as that of Judge John w.
Brockenbrough, of Rockbridge, va
This gentleman is we'll known to the
West. AS Judge Of the United States
Court, for the Western District of Yir-
GINA, he has presided for many years
past with great wisdom, learning, and
ability. He is in the very prime of life.
with an intellect matured. and principles
firm, steady and conservative. Gifted with
talents of a very high order, and very
highly cultivated, coupled with great
ameEity of manners. we believe that no
man ranks higher with all parties than
Judge Brockenbrough. But moreover,
aud far above all other considerations, af-
ter that of great talents and perfect fit.
moss, it is universally conceded that he
possesses the confidence of the people Of
the West, as it is fully believed he does
that of the people OF the East.
Without alludiug to the position of any
other gentlemen. whose names have been
brought before the Democracy, for this
high office. we must be permitted to OBJ
serve. that we believe that it is all impor-
tant for Virginia to select candidate for
Governor whose antecedents have been
consistent with her social and political in
situations. and with her integrity as a
slave holding State. We of the West
believe that it is not the time for Virginia
to give an improper tone. or sentiment, in
relation to the great interests which she
represents as Southern State, by the
election of any other than sound South
ern man.
From all we can learn. therefore, we
believe that our people, judging from his
fitness and ability to occupy any office in
the service of.the State, will. at the prop.
er time, be prepared to say. that Judge
Brockenbrough"is the man for the hour

The Extravaganza of Fnshion---Sep-
TENDER BOnmetS i'll Paris.

l never remember to have seen great
er extravaganza or more eccentriciLy in
toilette than during the past few months.
AT the seaside and the various other wat
ering places of the continent the whole
attire of the ladies is not that of sensible
women of the nineteenth century, but
gives the idea Of the fantastic creations Of
wild girls OF sixteen on a frolick. The
hats are SO various and so grotesque, the
sklIts so Volumnious, the trimmings and
furbelows SO profuse, that the eye is now
more often offeuded than grali6ed by the
productions OF European milliners and
mantaumakers.
For S. ptembcr bonnets our milliners
are preparing Belgian straws, trimmed
with bow Of the same straw, mixed
with wheat ears and peoples placed at
the side. ponceau ribbon across the fore
head, ending on one side in n Pompadour
rosette, aud ON the other in small bunch
OF wheat ears and peoples. Black bows
of taffetta or velvet trim the bonnet
sometimes the taffeta is placed as scarf
across the bonnet, and is edged with lace.
The strings and flowers should be oil
bright colors. Leghorn. for the autumn,
is generally decorated with rich dark fan
cy ribbons. with autumn fruits. For the
cool mornings and evenings of August
and September the light clear burnous is
worn; we see them Of brown, gray
striped black and white, Scotch plaid, and
cross barred flannel. The hood has a
tassel. All robes of pique are made with
a cassock Of the same. thus obviating he
necessity Of any additional wrapping Tor
the street. The black silk burnouS,
trimmed with wide ruche of the same
silk. is very favorlte garment; it etfec
tually conceals the dress, and is, there
fore. useful to wear over peignoise.-
Flowers and velvet bows are the fashion,
able evening coiffures the flowers are
principally arranged in wreaths, some
times quite, but generally fuller behind
than in front. The flowers most used
are wild roses. daisies of various coIors
white and red azalens. ivy or hollyhock

The Wheat CROP.

j , y
The wheat crop in the several States
may besconsidered as harvested aud par
tally ready for market. We can. there's
fore, give thefollo wing returns with some
degree ofcertainly
New YoRK-rhe crop is under the
last years about fifteen per cent, but the
quality ismuch better.
PENSsYLvANIA-The crop is fully an
average one but ten per cent. less than
last year per acre.
MARrLAND.-The crop is an average
one. but less per acre and much better in
quality. than last year.
YIRGrNIA.-The wheat crop in this
State is 90 per cent less than last year
for the amount of ground in cultivation,
and the quality not much superior,
NORTH CARoLINA.-The wheat crop in
this State is 50 per cent. less than last
year for the amount of ground in cultiva-
ton. and the quality is very poor.
KENrUcKY.-The crop is above the
average. but less than last year the
quality is however, unsurpassed.
TENNESSEE. --The crop is good one,
but under the average in the yield per
acre. The quality is good.
MIssoURG-The amount Of the wheat
crop OF this State is not fully known, but
it will generally compare we'll per acre
with Western States.
OHIo.-The yield per acre is fully
the increase of land in cultivation the de-
crease from an average crop will not ex,
coed ten per cent.
lowA.-The accounts from the centre
of the State in regard to the wheat crop
are very gloomy. The crop will hardly
average ten bushels to the acre. Oats
are generally failure.
ILLINOIS Southern Illinois the
yield of wheat is about a fair average,
rather under than over. The winter
wheat has been generally successful. and
Of the State the yield will not be over
half the usual crop.
In Indiana the yield of wheat has been
| from one-half to two thirds of the aver
aye crop.
In Minnesota, tho yield Of wheat has
been more than usual, and in quantity
two thirds the usual crop.
W1sooNs1N.-The yield Of wheat is up
to the average. the great extent in cultI-
walton compromising in any deficiency in
the yield per acre.
The upward tendency in Wheat promis
ing good prices. and the present lair pri.
ces, will, we think make the recei pts at
tide water this year nearly equal TO those
Of last year. The quality of last years
wheat is such that attempts to store it
longer will be ruinous. We have rea-
sons therefore for believing that the
movement of crop to the seaboard will
be active for the rest Of the year.

THE CIRCUIT COURT The fall term
of the Circuit Court for Harrison county
sat on Wednesday last. the 18th inst,
Hon. G. D. Camden on the bench.
The Judge charged the Grand Jury
that the revenue laws required travelling
show companies to pay the tax specified
by law, on each time Of exhibition, altho'
the different exhibitions may be of the
sane day.; and that if the same exhibit
ton embraced both circus and menage-
rie. the tax must be paid on both. although
they may be exhibited at the same time,
within the same pavilion and at single
price of admission. Under this instruc.
ton the Grand jury found an indictment
against Mr.. John Robinson for exhibiting
his circus and menagerie in this place
without license. Three other indictments
for trivial offences were found, and the
Grand jury adjourned over till Monday,
having other important matters before it.
The docket Of causes for trial is very
large. embracing so Commonwealth caus.
es. 3l6 Chancery causes and 222 Civil
causes.
