Will this Warning be Heededa

Liquor has fierce rival in its work of
death. Camphene gathers in about as
many victims, and terrible warning against
the use of burning fluids pass by as little
needed as do the awful warnings of drunk
enness. A young lady lost her life at
Oberlin on the morning of the 4th inst,
the particulars of which we gain from a
letter written to the Revieac, which says
A sad accident occurred at the Boarding
Hall this morning about 2 o'clock. Miss
Summers got permit to sit up late and
study, as she had got behind. About two
o'clock her lamp became dim, and she COM
menced filling it while it was burning; the
fluid Immediately ignited and she spilled
portion upon her clothes, which were soon
enveloped in flames. She ran into the
hall and screamed, which brought several
to her assistance, but too late. She is so
badly burned that the physicians think that
she cannot live till noon to day.
E. F. NJ.
PSI have just learned by Prot. Nor
gan that Miss Summers is dead.

We have nothing to boast of in the ,,,..
cess Of Mr.. Douglas IN Illinois, but ".
should like to know how Mr.. Buchanan
feels about it. viii the old gentlemen tell
his emotions upon the subject, if we will
tell him ours?
The editor Of the Philadelphia Press
says that the Buchanan Administration
has played its last card. 1t is blacklea
Administration, and very likely has . few
last cards tucked away in its sleeve or in
its boot.
One of the men of the Washington
Union calls himself a proprietor Such
cattle as he are property, not prdprietors-
they are owned by proprietors.
The Pennsyluanian records The death
OF physician, who "was an ardent ad-
mirer Of Mr.. Buchanan, and approved of
his entire Kansas policy.p Such approval
has been the death Of many of Mr.. Buchan-
ans friends recently.

John Van Buren, is against the right Of

he carries his principles so far that he does
not even search tie scriptures.o
1t is curious fact that a great many
newspapers which didn't dare utter one
word in favor of Douglas and his cause be-
fore the Illinois election, are now shouting
over the result as glorious Democratic VIC
tory.
The Washington Union gives notice
that the President will sustain those who
suffer for their devotion to his Administra-
ton. He will have to establish q pretty
extensive house Of refuge.
There are rumors that Buck and Doug
are about to make it up. They are like
two foolish women in New York, who un-
dertook walking match; both got very
tired and by mutual consent they stopped
their foolery and divided the profits of tho
exhibition.
They cut Buchanan poles down in Him

HThe Democracy of Virginia have

HThe Democracy of Virginia have
Just got through with q stormy State Con.
vention, atwhich Mr.. Leteher was nomina.
ted for Governor. There were some ball
dozen candidates in the field, and the sue
cess of Mr.. L. is claimed as q triumph Of
the Conservative party in that State.-
The South is beginning to open its eyes,
and it will not be many years until the An
ti-Slavery element in the Slave States will
show its hands by putting in nomination
county and State Tickets, and contesting
the ground inch by inch with their oppo-
nents. The main charge brought against
Mr.. Letcher was his unsoundness on the
Slavery Question. He had sympathised
with an emancipation movement in 1s45;
he had voted for an anti-slavery candidate
for the Senate of Virginia; in the Reform
Convention in 1850 had denounced the iu-
stitution of slavery as "negro-ology."
For these and similar expressions of preju-
dice against slavery, the Richmond En-
quirer anathematised John Letcher, and
correspondent of that paper of December
1st in discussing the effect Of Letcher's
nomination in 1850, says:
Prominent Wings and Know NothiDgs
in this city and elsewhere, make no secret
of their preference for John Letcher, over
other Democrats, as the nominee of the
Democratic party. This preference is not
dictated by any considerations affecting the
Gubernatorial contest in Virginia, for a
Democratic victory is inevitable in any
event, but is based upon the the more i'm
portant consideration, that the selection of
John Letcher would furnish ample justifca-
tiop for their support of Black Republi-
in 1860. This they may make no secret
of, nor can it be denied that this motive of
preference is plausible and well founded.

California.
1t is stated that the Message recon-
mends the ratification of the Cass- -Harran

the purpose of thr President to concentrate
as large naval force as possible upon the
Gulf of Mexico, and the Coast of Central
America.
Secretary Toucy in bis annual report will
urge the importance of large increase Of

ty-five new vessels, probably sloops-of-war
similar to the five now constructing.
The Secretary of War will renew it is
said his recommendation for an increase Of
the regular Army, as indispensable to the
protection of our extended frontiers. An
other despatch says Secretary Floyd does
not recommend an increase of the Army
but merely calls attention to Gen. Stott's
recommendation Of three mountain regi-

EThe Legislature Of South Carolina,
on the 10th ballot, elected Hon. JAMES
CHEsNUT, to represent that State in the
q. S. Senate, for the next years. The
election of Mr.. G. is hailed as victory of
tie conservatives over the Fire Eaters, or
disunion party, of that State. The
issue upon which the election of Senator
mainly turned, was the revival of the
Slave Trade, and the success of Mr.. c., by
a majority of ss votes, shows a handsome
majority in the Legislature opposed to it.
