were being made, when Justice Stone got
wind of it, and issued his warrent, directed
to Constable Cowne, who arrested the par

into the usual bonds to keep the peace
Thus the painful affair was stopped by the
vigilance Of one Of the Justices Of Peace in
FAUoUIER County.

amicably adjusted

EE- The Spectator says that its article in
which it declared its willingness to let s'by-
cones be by-gones," was based on the be-
lief that Northern Republicans were dis
posed to abandon their position in regard to
the South. We would like to know upon
what hypothesis that opinion was formed.
Was it from any deed or word of that par
ty? Was it from their platform of princi-
pies? It is probable that the Spectator has
the blue book Of the would be American
party, and as it is pretty generally conceded
that they both sprang from the same parent
stock, he may have found some such words Of
consolation in that. But then he must recol-
lect that those were the palmiest days Of
Americanism, when their aid was courted
by and readily granted to all the abolition
lsms. But the case is different now, when
there are none found so poor as to do il
reverence" Will the proud and dominant
Republican party desert its only hold which
it has upon the North, to secure the assist
ance Of handful of Southern Know 9TH
ings? We presume not The position Of
the Spectator is then the same, and most
unenviable one it is for Southern journal
We fancy that it is already getting sick Of
the declaration, and when it ''reiterates" il
we shall begin to despair Of accomplishing
our pious purpose, viz: Of bringing it bach
to its first love.
re From the Richmond South oe We'd
nesday, we clip the following very sensible
and just comment on Mr.. Buchanan's latt
letter of instruction to our Minister in Mic
aragua, and the probable effect on the Uni
ted States Of the adoption by the world o
the principle embodied in that letter:
CHOW, if the Earl of Derby's govern
ment, in pursuance Of the policy initiated
by Mr.. Buchanan, should peremptorily de
mand of Queen Isabella the arrearages du,
to British subjects, what would likely ensue
Her Catholic Majesty's subjects have al
ready larger amount Of taxes upon thei
shoulders than they can well support =
There is not money market in Europe il
which proposition from Spain to borrow
would not be Indignantly rejected. Sh,
would consequently, if pressed for payment
have no other alternative for relief but tn,
sale Of Cuba. Hence, if the enforcement
of international contracts becomes an inter
national doctrine, or is acted upon by Grea
Britain as we meant to act upon it, tht
chances are imminent that the ssgem of tn,
Gulf will be detached from the Spanish
Crown and embraced in our national bounds
where it properly belongs, in accordance
with the rules of just political geography ,

FIGHT WITH THE G1PsEs. -For several
weeks past gang Of dirty, filthy Gipsies,
come twelve or fifteen in number, have been
hanging about our city, says the Lynchburg
Republican, and, on yesterday, having
cleared all hen-coops, pig-styes, &c. in our
peighborhood, they were making their way
down Main street with all Of their trumpery
in quest Of more prolific quarters When
near the Noryeu House, Mr.. Kirkwood Oter

was made upon him by the whole gang, and
a regular Touchdown ensued.
GOVERNMENT Sw1NDLINd- The Memphis
Avalanche Of the 9th, has the following:
ga government agent is in the city at pres
ent for the purpose of collecting sufficient
evidence against certain contractors for
Uncle Sam, who purchased some horses and
mules at this point some twelve months ago
for Government purposes, to Fshow that the
Treasury has been defrauded of consid-
cradle amount Of money in the transaction
of the said contractors. It seems that thew
used blank vouchers, and whenever the
purchase Of a horse Or a mule was made,
the shrewd contractor would get the sellers
name to the blank before the price paid for
the animal was written upon the voucher.
In returning the blank to the Treasurer,
the amount was invariably entered third
greater than had been actually paid to the
owners Of the stock purhased, thus swind-
ling the Government out Of large sum Of
money. "''t = ~

While each one clings to his profession.
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strar &c than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeayor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
while reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age Of glorious Art,
We can the msed Of praise impart,
when mcritorious efforts claim
A modeat puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Tive model artists Of the day,
aAnd most obtiging in their way,
Moreland Il Jakeinan-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop plumber one,
You'll get the best Of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or ncighbor,

SO now invite each one and all,
