THF GLORIOUS News FROM CALIFORNIA
FULLY CONFIRMED By the arrival, yes
terday morning, Of the steamer from Aspin-
wall, we have been put in possession of our
regular files of California papers. The
political intelligence is more cheering fol
the Democracy than was received by the
previous arrival. It now appears that the
Democratic majority for Supreme Judge,
the only State officer running, is nearly
5000. The Senate stands "a Democratic
to 10 Black Republican. The House has
SIS Democrats to Is mongrels. The Sacra-
mento Union says the contest is of decisive
moment, as affecting the political complex.
ion Of California, aud as showing the per,
manent position which she is to occupy in
her State and Federal relations The issue
soas distinctly made. Party lines were
distinctly drawn. The issue was made
against the Administration, and all the
Heterogeneous elements Gust as in Pennsyl-
vania on Tuesday, that make up the Op-
position, were gathered against it.

For the indicator.
Rev. John Wesley Cronin.

The remains Of this eminently pious and
useful minister Of the Gospel, rest in the
Methodist Episcopal Church-yard in Staun-
ton, without stone or line to designate
the spot, or scarcely mound of earth to
guide the stranger to his grave.
And this is not because he was not pre-
eminently useful and universally beloved
but because no systematic effort has yet been
made. No appeal in proper form present
ed to his friends and to the public.
We nov propose to perform that duty
and respectfully request all who are dis.
posed to contribute to this object to leave
their subscriptions with Mr.. A. NJ Simp-
son, and when a sufficient amount is secured
a suitable and substantial tomb stone will
be erected to the memory Of our deceased
and beloved Brother.

T The Valley Democrat in its last is
sue, has very unnecessary and uncalled
for article on the next Congressional cleo
ton. From the melancholy premise that
the Tenth Legion 'shas not had a man. for
the last twenty years Gin which great dis
tress we deeply sympathize with the Dem
ocrat) it proceeds to lay down the law for
the whole district, in very dictatorial
manner.
AS it is not our intention, and as we are
determined not to enter into discussion
with the Democrat on this subject, we will
not retort with the confession of how long
it has been since Augusta has had ssman,"
but will enter our emphatic protest against
the imperious manner with which the Dem
ocrat presumes to give law to the whole dis
trict in which we consider Augusta to hold
as proud place as any one county in the
Tenth Legion. This premature article of
the Democrat is only calculated as far as
the influence Of that paper extends, to raise
dissensions in the ranks Of the democracy,
and although we have the highest respect
for the democracy Of the Tenth Legion, they
will do we'll to beware how they ALLEVIATE
by an imperious and high handed bearing
the democracy Of the other portions of the
district.
In conclusion, we would inform the Dem
ocrat that we know several gentlemen, from
whose minds nothing is more remote than
the idea Of hanging their harps on the
willows"

ARRIVAL OF THE MUr1NEERs The Nor

They were committed to jail in this city
immediatel " upon their arrival, and had al
examination before Commissioner John 7

while the bark was receiving cargo at Der
muda Hundreds, and were committed to jai
in Chesterfield county, until the vessel wa!
ready to sail, when they were brought OF

Captain to stop in the Roads, and have then

ANOTHER BREACH OF PROMISE. We
learn, says the Petersburg .NPress," that
another breach of promise case took place
in the west end Of our city on Saturday
night last. The bride, it is said, was gayly
attired at 6 o'clock, the hour assigned for
the ceremony, attended by her bridesmaids
and friends the parson all ready to tie the
knot, and everything prepared for grand
blow out, but no bridegroom could be found.
Groomsmen were despatched to various
parts Of the city in search ofthe delinquent,
but without success, until too late to pro-
coed with the ceremony, even though he
had been in condition to take part in
them His friends found him about u
o'clock, seated in the middle of Washington
street, singing "Come out the Wilderness, 2
with an immense turkey feather stuck in
his hat, and huge pair Of moustaches and
eyebrows painted on his face, looking like
second Toodles. As soon as they hao
finished their laugh at his ludicrous appea-
rance, which lasted them at least half an
hour, they assisted him home, and saw hin
safely slowed away. In the meantime the
company assembled at the brides house, pas
sed a sociable evening, in which the bride
herself took part, evincing but little concern
and evidently suspecting the cause of the
truant conduct of her betrothed. He calico
to see her again yesterday, and after con.
siderable exertion succeeded in obtaining
her forgiveness and the appointment o
another day on which to make him the hap
piest man in the United States.

The Convention.

Next week ii will devolve upon the Cen
trail Committee to appoint the time and
place for the assemblage of the Democratic
State Convention. The choice seems at
present, to be between Staunton, Lynch
burg and Alexandra. Staunton we sin
cerely believe to be the popular preference,
and Staunton we think, is decidedly the
most suitable place. Nothing so tends to
give tone to the democracy of Augusta as
the assembling Of the State Convention in
their county town. That influence will con-
tinue to be felt, and we see no earthly rea-
son for changing the place, consecrated as
it is by the time-ho usage of the par
ty. The objection that Staunton being the
principal town in the district of one of the
principal aspirants, and consequently would
subject the delegates to unlawful and un-
healthy influences, is fimsy and without
foundation, and ought rot to weigh for a
moment with the committee in making
their selection; it is truly humiliating
confession for the democracy of Virginia to
make, that the men whom they select to
be their councillors and guides could be
subject to local influences, and stoop to pam
der to local prejudices. We hope never to
hear such thing limited at or alluded to
again.
The opponents Of Staunton as the place
of holding the Convention, appear to have
dropped Lynchburg entirely, and concen-
trated all their influence on Alexandra.
The latter city appears perfectly out of the
question. Situated on the very border line
of the State, and with some doubt as to her
being Virginia city" we venture to pre-
dict that one third of the western counties
will not be represented in convention held
at that place. Staunton on the other hand +,
is situated in the heart of the State, her
approaches from the east commanding the
whole eastern country, and the means of
access from all the western counties are as
good as could be required. We hope that
the members of the Central Committee
west Of the Blue Ridge will not give up
Staunton, but vote for her first, last and all
the time.

IMPORTANT OPERATION IN SURGERY. On

accomplished surgeon Of Lexington, Va,
performed surgical operation. in which
deep lncisions were made through the skin
and flesh, without pain to the patient by
simply causing current Of electricity to
pass through the knife into the body of the
patient, at the moment of the incision. The
local insensibility thus produced is as COM
plete and effectual as that caused by the
administration Of chloroform or ether, while
the dangerous consequences sometimes re-
sulting from their use are entirely avoid
