THE New EXCAVATIONS AT RoMe.-The following
extract from letter written in Rome to a gen.
tlemah in New York, will be found interesting:
There is good deal of interest excited here inst
now by the discovery of some very remarkable re-
mains OF old Rome outside the ports Of ST. Ciovau-
nj, about ten miles from the gate. Among them
the foundations and fragments of basiiica, said
tohave been dedicated 10 st. Stephen and a great
number )f tombs, many of which are in an extra
ordinary state of preservation, and exhibit n
style of decoration far surprising anything |
have Yet seen of the kind. The stuccos and
paintings are in far better condition than those
Of the loggia Of Raphael ia the Vatican, in fact
scarcely Injured in any respect by either time or
dampDess One of the tonb5 was fund entirely
clear OF rubbish. except about the entrance, and
has remained actually hermetically sealed, from
all appearances, from the time of its completion
to the present, aud being situated on elevated
ground, and covered up with loose soil and rub
bish, its preservation has been wonderfully per-
feet. he excavations are still going on, and the
interest felt therein is eyibced by the crowds of
every class of society that constantly gathered
abOnt them.

Now for It!

The nomination of Mr.. Letcher for Governor
opens the door wide to the sspirants for Con-
grsssioral honors in this District, and we hope
they will pitch in regularly, resolutely and with
the utmost promptitude. To our Augusta men
we would say, go to work at once and secure
the prize. Rockbridge can lay no claim to it.
Rockingham is after it with a sharp stick
Shenandoah, though profoundly quiet, is said to
be powerful rival. But we want to see, in
this fight for the crown, some little body from
Old Augusta jump up from his covert and knock
them both down. Now is the time, boys, to
make your Jack. If out-witted this time you
may as well hang up your fiddle, aud be content
to plod along for the remainder of your days in
the humber walks of life.

Mr.. fletcher Nominated.

The news of Mr.. Letoher's nomination BY the
Petersburg Convention, was received in this
place by Telegraph, on Saturday morning, and
occasoned general satisfaction to our citizens OF
all political parties. Having labored zealously
for this result although without voice in the
decision we, of course, are more than satisfied.
For many reasons which we have already stated,
and some of which we may repeat hereafter, we
preferred Mr.. Letcher to any other Democrat.
The nomination, under all the circumstances oil
the case, suggests various remarks, and the topic
will not be exhausted for long time to come.
For the present we can only congratulate Mr..
Letcher and his party friends upon their triumph.
The Convention nominated Ro. L. Montague,
ESQ.,, of Middlesex county, for the Office OF Lieu
taut Governor, and John Randolph Tucker, Esq,
the present incumbent, for Attorney General.
AS will be seen by our synopsis in another
column, the proceedings of the Convention were
characterized by unprecedented excitement and
disorder

The VIRGINIA GovERNoRsHip.-The Washin

The VIRGINIA GovERNoRsHlP.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore American
in his letter of the 9Th, says:
Mr.. Letcher has succeeded in obtaining the
nomination for Governor of Virginia. True, he
was the open advocate not very long ago OF free
soil sentiments quite as strong as those for which
certain extreme patriots in Mississippi, and else
where, have frequently threatened to dissolve
the Union. But Democracy assumes the virtue
ascribed to the mantle of charity and covers
multitude of sins. Mr.. Letcher has got absolu-
ton from an orthodox Convention, and OF course
there is no higher authority than that. Let po-
rtical managers disguise it as they may, this re-
suit is significant of the coming event which II
neasura6y preigures-the nomination of Mr.
Hunter at Charleston in 1860. Governor Wise
is only the chafed leader of faction now. lie
has no party but himself and corporal's guard
of nervous and eccentric followers. His part-
sans will strive to make virtue of necessity by
out camoriug the friends OF Letcher in the can
vass, but that will deceive nobody.

THE PARAGUAY ExPEDITIoN.-There is moth
ing in the latest South American papers to in.
dictate that Lopez is making hostile preparations
to receive the American expedition, and not q
syllable to confirm the rumor which reached
here via England, Credited to the London
News that Lopez was strengthening the lower
portion of the Paraguay river, near Tres Bocas.
The following paragraph, relating to the expedi.
ton, appeared in the course of an article in the
Orden of October 3D.:
"What have forty-seven years Of submission
and death like silence given to the Paragraphs
Floggings, robberies, banishments and DEATH
What have seventeen years of weakness pro-
duced for Brazil in the yet unsettled questions

during seventeen years. He will give all the

TIE DEsRRET NEws-One of the best indica-
tons of the increasing prosperity of the people
of Salt Lake City since the advent of the United
States troops into the Territory is the marked
change that has taken place in the style and
matter of the Deseret News-the official paper
of Brigham Young. Formerly it was made up
almost exclusively Of Tabernacle sermons and ex.
hortations, and occasional scraps of doggerel,
with few official notices. and seldom an adver-
tisement. Noao, we observe, it displays full
page of varied advertisements, among which no.
tees of schools, books, and restaurants are con-
spicuous. 1t has also considerable quantity OF
local and selected news, both domestic and for
eign, large proportion of editorial matter, and
is altogether fair readable neaospaper instead
of the dark lantern sheet of year ago, whose
object then seemed to be to keep the people in
ignorance of the world outside rather than to en-
tighten them with regard thereto. The contrast
is striking, and the result is no doubt due to the
presence of the army, which has stimulated IN.
dustry, revived business, and opened channels o!
communication to locality which it was de-
signed to keep isolated in order to further the
interests of the Mormon church.-JournaI Q,

WASHINGTON IrEMs.-The President has e

WASHINGTON IrEMs.-The President has ex
pressed himself decidedly opposed to any propo'
sition for protecting slave property in the Ter,
ritories by Congress, as a violation of the prin'
oiple of non, intervention, and as inimical to
the Cincinnati platform, and there is reason to
believe that he is fully sustained in this view by
the Southern members of his Cabinet.
1t is quite certain that the President will re,
iterate the Monroe doctrine in the most decided
terms, with distinct declaration that be means
to enforce it whenever the occasion may arise
and will be justified. All the signs, and regret
to say, the official information too, point very
distinctly to the probability Of events giving
this announcement practical meaning. The
fleets of England and France at San Juan, and
the fleets of England, France and Spain at Vera
Cruz, are collected with purpose which will be
revealed before long.

tant matters. The tariff cannot longer be put

EDITORIAL QuARRBLs.-A correspondent of the
Richmond Wing administers severe but merit.
ed rebuke to the newspapers which have been
dealing so much of late in personal matters
He says: "Now-a-days there is no such thing
as newspaper. It's all editors. It's no longer
an inpersonal piece of paper, that comes to Inc
through the mail, but distinct, separate, indi-
vidual person, known to me as we'll as my OWL
wife, though may never have laid eyes on him
who comes to me and, with the aid of little,
and sometimes great deal, of printers ink, be-
gins to bawl in my ear about his private griev-
auces." He concludes as follows: mo, sir, this
publishing won't do. 1t is unkind and unjust to
your readers, dangerous to the youthful part Of
the community, of no real service to yourselves
or to any body else. l leave it to you, sir, if it
is. Honestly, is itl Then, stop it. Try and
live life out of the papers, like other people
do. Be an Editor, but be man besdes-clean
