RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT IN OUR COLLEGES IN TIE
STATE AND yIc1xI1Y.-We had occasion the 9TH
or day, to compile from our exchanges sum-
mary, showing that great revival in religion
was abroad in tho land to a Very unusual extent.
This enthusiasm, we see, is not confined TO any
class of peOple-but high and low, learned and
unlearned, are alike effected. Especially do we
note the extent of this feeling in our literary
institutions, which, unfortunately enough, have
hitherto been too generally notorious for most
anything else than spiritual concern.
At Hampton Sydney College, in Prince Ed
ward county, in this State, we read that they
Have weekly College prayer-meeting, which
has been very we'll attended. Four have been
admitted to the church. We desire your pray
ers and those of Gods people around you in our
behalf
At Richmond College we read that the
Students have been recently holding a series
ofmeetingS at mission station in our vicinity,
which has thus far resulted in the conversion of
twenty-five. There is, however, no special reli
gious feeling at present in the college.
From Washington College Lexington, Va,
we learn that there is
No peculiar interest in religion, but high
tone of conscientious regard and attention to
all religious ordinances. Intemperancc, profani-
ty and gambling are almost unknown.
Up at Washington College, Washington, Pa,
we see that they have had feeling awakened"
and that
There are favorable indications of more than
usual religious interest at present.
From Canonsburg College we are informed
that the
Prayer-meetings are all we'll attended, and at
one of them at least one hundred students are
usually present. The state of religious feeling
is decidedly favorable and is such that encour-
age us to hope for more important tokens of the
divine presence.

+ BUCHANAN IN BAD WAY.-Mr. Buchanan,
besides dissatisfying one half of his political
male friends, has also lost the confidence of the
ladies who had confidence in his honor and good
faith before election. An Ohio lady correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writes ,S follows
to that paper:
The President of the United State being at
present the subject of general remark thought
it would not be amiSs to relate an occurrence
that took place day or two since. 4 neighbour
of mine said James Buchanan had been a great
flvorite of his wife so much so, that she named
much valued dog after him; but since she has
learned of his course, in which he favors the
border ruffian side of the Kansas question, refl.
seS to call her dog Buck" any more, and has
changed his name to watch"

A Note from Judge Thompson.

To the E:titors Of TIE Rheelin0 Intettigsncer:
| see you have mentioned my name, with
others, in connection with the next Congress
siona term for this district Permit me to say,
that when l accepted the office of Judge of tho
Circuit Court, expected to devote myself to
its labors and responsibilities, to the exclusion
of all political aspirations. This believe have
done, this 1 expect to do; nor do desire any
other favor in the way of office from the people,
than that, if my laborS, and the manner in
which have discharged my official duties, have
been acceptable to them, they will permit me,
in the discharge of such duties, to continue to
serve them. With respect,

BhLIARDs.-Y Yesterday, Mr.. John w, Hester
was playing a game of Billiards, and by an
adroit play brought the two reds together abou:
eighteen inches from the cushion at the foot OF
the table. He then ''nursed" them so skilful.
" that he marked ttoo thousand one hundred
and .fttyserea points, By sere1 hundred and
nineteen consecutive caroms, without maxine n
cushion! The time occupied in making this
run of ?, l57 points was nearly two hours; and
It was only terminated when the player, feeling
that he had accomplished feat in billiards
which, possibly, the world never saw before
became Pardonably excited, lost his steadiness
OF nerve, aud made false play. This account
might well be doubted were its correctness not
attested by eight persons, who were absorbed
spectators throughout the run. The papers of
al the other great cities-Boston, New York
Philadelphia and St. Louis-boast their bio
games Of billiards, but we are much mistaken r
they ever have, or ever win have, anything to
equal the New Orleans run off, I57 points. I'VE
auy Vi. Hester TO quit the game now, and never

rELLINo TALES OUT OF ScnooL-The Wash
ington Star, in its notice of the Presidents levee
on Tuesday evening, says
1.-The clear bracing atmosphere last night sent
the bellies of the metropolis to the White House
with rosy checks of Natures own touching up.
By-the-way, lady friend was so good last
night:as toIhInt to us a valuable recipe, being
nothing less than on infallibe test by which
bachelors, and henedicts too. if they have any
curiosity, may distinguish genuine color from
that bought at the shops. Thus, if the lady's
ears are of the same roSeate tint as her checks,
or meaSurably so, the color may be set down
as natural, and not otherwise, as nature never
perpctrates the anomaly ofgiving pallid auricu-
lar appeudsges and brilliant compilations to the
same weSrer."
Small chance there will be, however, of APP
plying the test now that the Star has betrayed
the confidence and published the secret of its
lady friend" for the consequence will be that
ladies who do put on artificial color upon their
cheeks,-if such ladies there be-will hence
forth pay the same attention to their ''auricular
appendages" and.so bride orsbind them to Sc
cresY.

JUsr ABOUT so.-Tt is fact which cannot be
disputed, says the New York Herald, with a
justnes altogether extraordinary in that cratic
sheet, that American oratory and craftsmanship,
taking Congressional debates as opponents,
have been gradually declining within the past
seven or eight years. Our first class men-like
the Websters, Clays, RandOlphs, Burgesses,
Calhouns, Bentons, and Haynes-are no longer
found in Congress. They are in the law courts,
or editing the journals, or writing the histories
of the nation. In the present House there are
some clever tacticians, hard-wOrking men in
committee, and clever parliamentary dodgers
that is all. In the Senate we find rather high
err order of ability, and could name half dozen
mcn, not first rate, but high amongFthe second
rates. 1t is impossible to deny that Hcrald's
estimate is drawn with perfect exactness.

TnE next JuDlcIAL AxD CONGRESSIONAL CAV

The next JUDICIAL ASD CONGRESSIONAL CAM
PAIGN IN THIS DIsrRIcT.-In another column
of to-day's paper, will be found note from his
Honor Judge G. W. Thompson. in reference to
our enrolment of his name the other morning,
among the list Of heirs apparent and heirs pre-
sumptive 20 the next Congressional nomination
from this 10th District. 1t will be seen, that
while the Judge disclaims any idea of bidding
for Congressional nomination, he intimates his
entire willingness to try another Judicial round,
provided the people can agree on verdict of
"Well dor.o good and faithful, &c. for his past
services.
In this resolution of the Judges, we discern
good, strong healthy discreetness. The Judge
has had nibble at Congressional honors, and
he knows just what it is. He knows that when
all the sweating and groning, tramping and ri
ding through the woods, over stumps and hol-
low logs, across the corn fields and pasture lots,
from one Red Wamus Cabin to another Red
Wamus Cabin, so necessary to a successful can
vass of tho District, is taken into accOunt--why
them going to Congress is by no means what it
is cracked up to be. All this, too he knows,
must be gone through with simply for two
years term, to say nothing of the immense
amount OF garden SeeuS ana Otner nlCk-naChS
which man must be continually franking
through to the old women and children, after he
gets elected.
Against all this trouble, vanity and vexation
of spirit, the Judge balances the NICE quiet,
dignifed honorable, and we believe lucrative
Judgeship, and like man of good sense, wisely
concludes that beng Judge for eight years is
much better than depending an uncertain,
noisy and dcmoralizing two years COMPRESSION
al tenure.
Its not for the likes" of US poor hcretics
here, at the corner of Quincy and Main, to be
after saying word of consultation to His Hon
or: but, if the Court please, we would venture
to say, that if the Judge will only let all sorts
of political opinions on the goose question:"
and all other State and national issues, have that
free fight to which they are entitled by the laws
of God aud the country, he may yet have
successful support for a second Judicial term.
