atelligencer. Its, the target for the squibs of,
pretty much every little, miserable half printed
niggerltish weekly in the back counties ofthis
State. The Weakly Istelligence,. has waded in
so extensively among their subscribers, and fat
tened out SO many of their subscriptions, that
they are nigh unto bursting with wrath. We
don't know that this is the case with the Par
kersbuTg Net6s, but for some cause, this long
while back, it has been exercised our ac-
count. The Editor was here last week begging
advertisements for his bantam, and in writing
home, put it to US as follows:
The question ofthe support accorded tothe
| lnteLLigencer having heretofore been subject
at issue between our Wheeling contemporaries
and the Ne1cS, we have taken particular pains to
investigate it That the Intelligeneer has con-
siderable city patronage, is undeniable; but we
4 have no idea there is suficiency of il for an
adequate support In fact, we have been rela-
bly, informed that it received, during the late
/ Presidential Canvass, q bonus of Five Hundred
\ Dollars, at one time, from New York Fremont
Club, because gifts Editors statement that an
abolition or Free-soil paper could not be sup
Iported in Wheeling without aid from abroad, J"
or to that effect. tits also altogether possible
that its acknowledged large circulation in the
neighborng counties of Ohio and Pennsylvania
induces Wheeling merchants, who do not APP
\ prove of its course, to insert advertisements
therein iniorder that they may be read by their
customers, living in these Free States.
That five hundred dollar feature is rich one
We wish we could illustrate it for Harper's
Weekly. We incline to the opinion, out of
pure charity, for we don't like to think that the
Editor lied out of the whole cloth, that he must
have COMPOUNDED our case with that of the or
thodox Organ, next door, which (not us) has the
credit Of having received much larger bonus
than $500, during that memorable canvass, from
a few of its enthusiastic admirers. Perhaps
some Oneot those devoted alms-g iyers communi-
Gated this fact to the Nelcs.monger, when he
tthe Nesos mongcr0 was in fuddled condition,
and he &c: his notes mixed in that way. We
reckon that must be the cause how.
A CONVICT named McGinnis, in the Peniten-
tiary, from Hamilton county, o., cut his throat,
says the Columbus Journal, butnot succeeding
in killing himself he bntted his head agains this
cell and cut his head open to the bone Hewill,
notwithstanding, probably recover.
The Journal, of day later, says:
McGinns, the convict who attempted to take
his life yesterday morning, is still living. Dr.
Hamilton performed a very skillful operation
|
and removing the seventh rib, making an orifice
into which he thrust his hand, aud drew out the
knife which was resting on the diaphram and
lying near the heart-so close that the pocketo of
the heart was cut.
The knife is 4 inches long and ! wide, very
dull and blunt pointed, without handle He
asserted at the time thathe had cut his throat
and thrust the knife down the opening. The
supposition is that when he made the cash the
suction of airsinto the cavity caused the knife
10 slip from his fngersand pass down into the
cavity. The cut was made on the left side, not
on the right, as stated yesterday. He bore the
operation well: There was some hopes of his
recovery, yet the chances are somewhat against
him. ,

Richmond papers are not a little curious to make
out who Clemens favors for next Governor, sup
supposing as they do, that he wrote his note
about Judge BrockenLrough for political effect
One says fletcher; another Faulkner-none of
them know. The South thinks it matter of
no consequence Shethsr he is for or against its
man, Netcher.)
We don't presume Clemens cares much, if
anything, who is nominated. As we said be-
fore, we don't believe he wrote that note to
effect anybody's prospects. Simply "for bun.

balance of them over there, from their relations
with sherrard for the past few days, may realize
by and by that We are right in our supposition.
FRAZER R1vrN.-How much gold they arc
picking up about Frnzer's river may be imagined
by an extract from a letter from Fort Yale Of a
recent date, which says:
think there are 1000 men within. n mile of
the fort, and about ten women. There are.
perhaps, fifty men at work with rockers. and
200 or more engaged in wintrr preparation, put.
ting up log. houses &c, within the same dis
lance. The balance, embracing meu of all
nations and professions are idle, gathering in
knots, talking, smoking, sleeping, hoping,
watching the river, wishing gently enjoying
their own thoughts, christening to the IFS and
butts of others; and particularly attentive to the
relations ofreturned explorers. There is. no
rioting, no confusion, no qnarrelling. no
gambling, no police, no lawyers 5ss9e

The Richmond South gives an account, anything
but fiattering, of Mr.sJ. w. Forney, and emu
merates several acts of his publiclife sufficiently
condemnatory. But the Petersburg Intszligsn-
