The Greenbier White ulphur Springs
have recently been very much improved and
enlarged, by the addition of one hundred new
rooms: ten cottages, containing five room each;
new porticos to the main building; fifty new

building has been remodeled giving light and
ventilation the verandah rooms-and this
beautiful summer resort can now, we are IN

ALEXANDRIA,:

We have very gratifying accounts of the
favorable impressions made every where in
lower Virginia, by Mr.. GoGcIN, the Wing
candidate for Governor. Even his political
opponents acknowledge his worth and abili-
ty. He is one of the soundest and best OF
our public men, conservative in his senti,
ments, honorable in his conduct and princi-
pies, with excellent administrative capaci-
ties, devoted to the welfare and interests OF
his State, and of enlarged and liberal views.
The election of such man would secure to
us an efficient Chief Magistrate, besides
most materially assisting in the revival and
reorganization of great national Wing
party, whose object and aim would be. re-
form in the operations Of the government,
and a return to the practice and measures OF
our early Presidents. Let him be supported
heartily and cheerfully!

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Courier and Enquirer says
Senator Green. Of Missouri, has suggested
compromise between the disagreeing factions
of the Democracy, which meets the approval
of President Buchanan and Secretary Cass,
and which, it is expected, will unite the
party. The Western Democracy insists ON
the rein statement of Mr.. Douglas asa regu-
lar member of the party. Mr.. Green pro-
poses to drop all discussion upon interven-
ton and non-interyentiOn, as non-essential,
and proposes also the withdrawal ofall oppo-
sition to the admission Of Kansas, whether
M free or slave State, in the next Congress.
These bases Of accommodation are accep-
ted by the administration, and the breach be-
tween the factions Of the Democracy is re-
garded as healed.

Mr.. Andrew johnson, of Tennessee, has re-
Gently been airing his rhetoric before the
Democracy of Green County in that State in
IA speech replete with characteristic dema-
gogueism. We find in the Jonesborough
Union, report ofhis speech, and we were
particularly impressed with the following
portions of it:
THE "extravagance of this admnistra-
ton" which seems to be the leading princi-
pie ofthe Opposition" was handled by him
in an able manner. He showed, most EN-
phatically, that all such charges were the
merest "humbug" of disappointed politl-
clans, and the last spasmodic effort Ola dy-
ing party 1.-THE X. n. to bring themselves
back into notice again"
Thus speaks Mr.. Andrew johnson, out IN
the mountains Of East Tennessee.
And go Mr. johnson says that the talk
about the extravaganza of the administration
is '.all humbug." But what did he say IN
the speech in the Senate to which we have
above alluded? Here is what he said.
"Itis in the power of Congress to prevent
these enormous expenditures; and II we do
not interpose We are responsible for them.

scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, is max
ing more is corrupt uses Of money in proper

The Baltimore Exchange. in an article on
the effects that European War would have
upon this country. thinks that, if war should
occur whilst the acquisitions upon us for
supplies of breadstuffs and provisions would
be enormous and incessant, the advantages
thus derived, would be, in large measure,
counterbalanced by the injuries inflicted
upon other staples, and especially upon that
of Cotton. Upon the whole, it admits, that
a war would generally be beneficial to our
industrial, financial and commercial rela-
tions. but doubts the propriety of anticipat-
ing the march of events by entering upon
speculations that in their reference to the
future, do not even admit of those vague
calculations of possible profit, by which such
ventures are usually governed.

In reference to the expected War in Eng
land, the Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, says:
American sympathies, like those of the
people Of England, appear to be in favor OF
the regeneration Of Italy, which suffers un-
der Austrian oppression. 1t may be ques-
ton whether the Italian States will be better
of under one absolutism than another, and
whether in exchanging masters they will not
still be slaves. But the experiment is to be
tried. The object of Austria is to retain her
hold upon Italy, and it is the determination
of France to obtain it."
England and Russia, stand of. at present,
but they will, probably, ultimately be drawn
into the contest.

George Court House. OH Saturday last
There was large attendance, and number
of ladies graced the occasion with their pre-
sence. Mr. Goggin made two very able
and effective speeches, which were replied
to by Mr.. Montague. At the conclusion OF
Mr.. Gnggin's first speech, the ladies. who oc-
cupied the gallery in the Court house, and
listened with attention and interest to the
discussion, signifed their appreciation Of
the mau, and appreciation of his remarks, by
shower of splendid boquets. significant
fact. in as much as his opponent was not so
honored. Mr. Goggin is dignlfed and
strong debator, and handles his subject with
an ease aud grace that wins the applause
alike of his friends and political opponents.
Mr. Goggin speaks with the greatest comb
dence. His friends wherever he goes are
greatly encouraged and are earnestly stri-
wing for success and as his cause is good,
Mr. Goggins appeals are not in vain.
Mr.. Thomas's prospects are also very hat
tering in King George county, and his
friends are hard at work. Actuated by the
prospect Of success-the conviction of which

SPAIN AND CUBA.-Mr. Walsh, in his letter from

Ct Commerce., makes the following reference to the
Cuban question Nat. Int
"American visions of State of Cuba will have

the world against President Buchanan's moods and
lenses Yesterday arrived here the Gazette of Mad

in form relating to the Island of Cuba. He said
If representative Of foreign power came to make
an offer for the alienation Of Cuba should at once

words caused me to guess his purpose or notion
and would tell him the effect produced by such in.

the island of Cuba is not for us question of interest
or convenience it is a question Of dignity and hon

money or price that could be heaped up before M

glorious relic of the precious discoveries and mapni
