Hnt Yirrinin Contesr.

Gov Wise is out Of the ring for reelection to
the GovernorshiP, and the uncOnquerable dem
ocrats of the Old Dominion are "ardent as a
Southern sun can make them" on tie subject
Of his successor. The contest is between the
friends Of Senator Hunter and the Wise branch
of the party. The Hunterites are straining ey-
cry nerve to secure the nomination of Mr. Letch-
er, and the friends of Wise, under the lead Of
the Richmond Enquirer, are laboring with a
zeal that is really refreshing in the usual Viz
giuia calm, to defeat him. The candidates for
nomination on the Wise side are Faulkner, Ed
mundson, BrackeEbrough, and Tucker. The
State Convention meets at Petersburg on the
2d of December, when the vexed question viii
be settled SO satisfactorily doubtless as to Sc,
cure the election of the nominee.

state school Librnries.

Our efficient School Commissioner has con-
cluded with the Appletons of New York, con-
tract for supplying our School Library Books
on terms extremely advantageous to the State.
The publishers agree to furnish such books as
the Commissioner shall select, at t0Tty per cent.
less than the retail prices, boxing aud freight
included. This is one of the best bargains that
has ever been made by the State, which, as
everybody knows, is not usually good at a trade
But the excellence of the bargain is not the
best feature ofthe business. The greatest care,
discrimination and taste have been exercised in
the choice OF books, and all the volumes are of
positive and permanent value; the purchase of
nricutural works for rural districts, is but one
instance of this attention on the part of Mr.
Smyth. Circulars were issued by him to trus-
tees throughout the State, with the request that
they would state in reply what books were
wanted and needed in their localities Thus the
wishes of all have been consulted in a matter
which has not been adequately alluded to till
now.
The books are to be printed by the Appletons
on heavy, white paper, fgOod stock, with am
pie width ofmargin; and are to be bound in the
most neat and substantial manner. The WORTH
lessness of the binding has been one great
cause of complaint heretofore, but the excel
lence Of the material and workmanship on the
volumes to be furnished will wholly remove
this objection.
The contract, which is a model in its way,was
drawn up by C. n. Olds, Esq, of our city. 1t is
very complete in all its specifications Books
are to be furnished to the amount of sixty-fve
or seventy-tive thousand dollars. The Apple
toms engage to have them ready for distribution
by the lst of March, 1859, and for every days
delay forfeit fifty dollars.
The number ofvolumes will be about ninety
five thousand.
The contract for binding these volumes from
the printed sheets has been obtained of the
Messrs. Appleton by Folett, Foster d Co., of
this city. These gentlemen need no indorse-
ment from Us, to assure the public that the work
will be done neat and substantially.
The completeness of this whole transaction,
Is but type of Mr. Smyth's manner of discharg-
ing the responsible duties of his post. Had such
a man filled the same place earlier, our school
Libraries would never have fallen into disrepute.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Som Douglas "sore head"
who claims to be Know Nothing-probably
one of the forty who propose giving the Little
Giant Know Nothing receptiOn-in reply to
my article, assails through the organ of the dis
organizers, sound and reliable Democrats as
Buchanan boilers! To cal the Buchanan men
boilers, is, to say the least, decidedly rich. To
call them ''sore heads is equally cool. A sore
head always supposed was one who. having
been turned out of office, or having failed to OBJ
tain one, opposes the Administration. The
Douglas men therefore, must be the "sOre
heads" 1t certainly cannot be those who sus-
tain the President
By whom was Mr.. Buchanan elected Presi-
dent of the United States Was it by boilers or
was it by the Democratic party know of no
boilers in the ranks ofthe party except the bolt
ing clique In Illinois, of which the 'Llltle
Giant" is the chief, aided and assisted by such
outside boiling renegades as Forney, Haskins,
&c, who have been making war upon the De-
mocracy for the purpose of destroying the party
to further their own aggTandiZement.
The writer claims to be a Know Nothing, and
says "that he E1aOlcS two of the order whose
names do not disgrace the list, to wit:-the
present Mayor and the present Postmaster. As
both these gentlemen strongly deny having had
anything to do with the midnight conspirators,
l am inclined TO believe, Mr. Editor, that this
Know Nothing is a natural one who k1aOlrs
less than the small amount which is re-
quired of the rest of his species. He need
not therefore have been to the trouble of max
ing proclamation Of the fact, as it could not
have remained long undiscovered. 1t was so
selfevident that 1t must have been patent to all
the world.
know of no Khol5 Nothing holding office
under this Administration who owes his ap-
pOintment to Mr.. Buchanan It NAV that in
the Custom House and Marine Hospital, which
are under the control of the Collector, Know
Nothings are holding office. think it very
likely. But these are Douglas men, appointed
by the last Administration through the influence
of the Douglas faction, Is Mr.. Buchanan re-
sponsible for such appointments! When these of
cials heard of the result OF the election in Hi
nOis, l understand that they threw up their
hats IN oxultatiOn at the success of their chief.
If Mr.. Buchanan is responsible for anything, it
is his extreme -cIemency in keeping such bolt
eTs, renegades and Know Nothings in Office
A DEMOCRAT.

Government Vessels on the Lakes-~H -~HafDOfs'
Though the Government under Democratic
administrations does literally nothing to improve
OF even preserve our Lake Harbors, 1t does sup

is a list of the Goye5nment vessels now in com

pairing and completing the dilapidated and half
built public works from Oswego to Chicago
Nearly all the Lake Harbors where improve
ments were commenced before the Administra-
ton of Van Buren sold The dredges and pile
drivers, need appropriations to make them ac
cessible and safe for storm driven vessels, as
well as to finish and preserve the public works
begun. Several of the barbors where improve
ments were partially built are now comparative
ly useless; and hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars Of the public treasure have been literally
thrown away for the lack of few thousands
more to complete and secure the Government
Works partly constructed.
The long continued Government neglect of
Lake Harbors is as unaccountable as it is crimi-
nal With an inland coast and commerce such
as no other country can boast of, the Light
houses perched on dilapidated piers and on
rocky islands or PromOntories, the Revenue ves-
sels and the Custom House palaces at the prin-
cipai ports swarming with Government officials,
are about the only evidences ofGovernment care
to be found on the American side of the Medi-

Gen Jo Burns, the licked out in the Cos
hocton district because he regarded Buchanan
sovereign on Lecompion rather than the people
is choleric, mad, pugnacious. Since the eIec-
tion he assailed Mr.. Ellis, because he did not
vote for him, pitching in like the Benicia Boy
and like his prototype coming of second best ;
and still more recently the fighting General at
tackled the editor of the Progressive Age in the
street, and after a rough and tumble scrimmage
took to ''inglorious flight, at the sight of the
printers shooting stick" The probable rea-
son for the last outrage by the irritable Burns is
thus statedby the Age:
We presume the immediate reason for our be-
ing attacked last week was, that 1t. VIM.
Burns, a son Of the General, had Just. received
an appointment from the President, out OF
which large fortunes are sometimes made, and
he was fearful that we might connect this aP-
pointment with the charges which had been
made in Congress last winter against the Cen
eral himself Of bribery and corruption, and that
this was in part pay fer the price of his vote,
and he hoped thereby to frighten us from max
ing that charge.

litical and family newspaper, has exchanged its
old and battered types together with the editors

continuing its publication, and appears as fresh
and bright as Just coined eagle under the ad-
ministration of Messrs JoHN and HENRY Nil

GUS and talented, and has experience as re-
porter and paragraphist. Mr.. H is also
Printing Office graduate, the best College from

A NOBLE BEQUEsT.-Through the kindness
of DR.. R Patterson, Superintendent Of the Idiot

last will and testament. The estate will be set
tied in a short time, and it is supposed that the
Asylum will realize about $4,000 from his lega-
ey. Mr. Chapman having no dependent rela-
tives, like true phlhRthropist and Christian,
left his moneX where it could be the means of
doing the greatest good-to the helpless and the
afflicted The following extract is taken from
the will:
And further give and demise all the resi-
due of my estate to the Ohio State Asylum for
Idiots, in the hope that some of those who are
less favored by nature than others, may still be
enabled as far as possible, to receive the bene-
