The virginia Campaign.

The New York Herald has reporter at
tending upon the two rival candidates for
Governor in Virginia, in their canvass
through the State, who is reporting the
speeches and doings at each meeting. Last
week the candidates were canvassing the
Blue Ridge Valley counties, and spoke at
Harrisonburg Station and Lexington. From
the speeches, which are reported at length,
it appears that Letcher, the Administration
candidate, is carrying more weight than he
can successfully sustain. His opponent, Mr..
Goggin has made his assaults upon Letch-
er's numerous weak points so effective as to
keep him constantly embarrassed in defen-
sive positions, from which his assailant APP
pears determined to give him no chance of
escape. The advantage thus far is admitted
by the Herald to be on Goggin'si side. 1t
says Letcher has undertaken the difficult.
task of carrying water on both shoulders
the task of supporting Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministration rs far as possible without Civ
ing offence to Governor Wise. But as GOV.
Wise has made an impa sible gulf between
himsef and the Administration, it will
be very hard task for Mr.. Letcher to per-
sist in the experiment of g stumping the
State with Mr.. Buchanan on his right arm
and Governor Wise on his left As sop
to the Governor, Mr.. Lctcher declares his
hostility to the specific tariff policy of the
President and to the thirty million Cuba
bill. As peaee-ofiering to the loyal old
fashioned Democracy, Mr. Letcher defends
the administration against the charges OF
extrayagant expenditures
While between the three stools-the Ad-
ministration, and, the Hunter and Wise fac
tions--the- Democratic candidate for IGoy-
ernor of Virginia is in danger of falling to
the ground, the opposition elements in-be-
half of Mr. Goggin are united as they were
never united before, because they see in the
war of factions among their opponents. a
glorious chance for inaugurating the new
constitutional party which shall redeem the
South. If taey can carry old Virginia in
May neqt, it will be the beginning of pop
uiar revolution which will spread through
at least, the old Southern Wing States o.
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina ant
Louisiana. The opposition of Virgins
> seem to feel that the shape and course of th
two great political parties depends upon tn
canvass now penling before them, and tha
they are lighting the FIRST battle in the Pres
idential contest of 1860

quay left the vessels comprising the escort
of Commissioner Bowlin, at Rosario on the
Sth of January, where they would take in
coal. 1t was expected that the Commission

about the 18th of January. Much diversity
of opinion prevailed as to whether a settle

The Peeersburgh Fraudulent Bank.
The Petersburgh Reporter gives the fol-
lowing account of the management of the
men who undertook to start the bugus Far
mers' and Droyers Bank in that place, and
who were afterwards arrested in their career
at St. Louis:
Sometime in February, two men giving
their names as Wells andf 'O'Brien, came
here, as they said, TO establish q bank, and
rented room for that purpose. Wells, we
think, stayed here one night and left !:
OBrien remained to fxup the house and
hold out the appearance of n bank He
had 70 Farmers and Dro3ers' Bank painted
on a large sign, and hoisted on the front of
the building-had counters and desks made
ali giving the appearance Of a bank. He
tried to employ a number Of men for agents,
tellers. &c, holding out to all great induce
ments. During all this time he kept the
L" steam up to SO high degree that every
body could not help coming to the conclu-
sion that he was decidedly "tight" He
boasted of his money, cat a AswelI, and de-
nounced f" bad whisky because it nade
him drunk. 80 go Ais
We are also informed that he engaged
board for two years. In few days Wells
returned and reported that they had INSTALL
ed the officers of the bank, but would not
put their money in circulation until on or
about the first of April the reason assigned
by them for this, was, "because they had
yet to bring on the safe and specie" @ Elrien
told us that the casher's brother died very
sudden, and that he 1.-THE cashier) would
have to go and settle up his business
O. O'Brien also left in a few days for the specie,
but the next thing we hear, Wells and O Brien
are in the Station House. at st. Louis -
They made no effort to pass their money
in this section, though they could not IL
they had tried. The people were waiting
to see what would turn up before they apui
their hands in the Lion's mouth" 4 large
amount of their money was put in circula-
ton out West and we have no donbt many
will loose heavily byit. We do not believe
it was their intention to put any of theiI
money in circulation in this section, but by
! having the appearance of bank here they
! thought to be more successful in swindling
the people with it at distance 1sf -s.s.

why arelxve SO IIeevily ra1ea.

The following excellent article, which we
take from the CanneIton reporter, is from
a sound Democratic .source-lrom the pen
of one who has done the State service the
last winter, in the investigation and expos
ure ofthe shameful abuses that prevail in
the management of the State Treasury. Its
appeal to the people to pay more regard to
the capacity and integrity of candidates for
public trusts, than to their party affiliations,
is in the right spirit
Why is Indiana taxed so heavily2 That
is the question which, just now, should be
| asked of and answered by our State officers.
$330,00o is required every year to pay in
terest on debt created long ago, by trad
ing politicians and foolish schemers The
expenses of government, with only biennial
sessions of the Legislature requires a less
sum than that. The taxables in theState are
estimated at from four hundred and fifty to
| five hundred millions of dollars. With hon
| esty in the public offices and economyin the
Legislature there is no need of heavy taxes.
Let the people nominate for office the proper
men-men whose capacity is well known
and whose honesty has been tried-instead
of noisy politicians who want to live out of
the public money. Let the candidate be
| questioned about the laws and finances and
general condition of Indiana, instead of
his views on the Kansas question and the
niger question, and the rights of man and
woman question. Let the voters select for
their Treasurers sober men, who don't want
to use the money of the State for the bene-
fit of their friends, or for their own private
speculationj and for their Auditors, let
them select honest men, who know how to
keep accounts and who won't wink at rsls-
cality. Let thern-the voters-look as sharp
after the capacity and honesty Of State
as they do for county officers and they won t
be as likely to have their property sold for
non-payment Of taxes.

DsyNThe election of Ten Eyck, as Senator
from New Jersey, is viewed as a complete
overthrow Of the Stockton influence, and
the destruction of the power Of the Cam

following sound ond wholesome views upon
the subject: rar-s e~
"Now is not the time to go back to the
root of the evil existing in society out Of
which springs this brutality; it matters not
whether the fault lies with parents who a.
low their children to run over them at home,
or with parents who encourage their chl-
dren to play the part of bravuloeS: the dan
ger to the schools is eminent, aud a remedy
must be applied promptly, vigorously and
persistently. Parents, nor pupils, nor BROTH
ers of pupils have any right, no matter if
the teacher is in error, to make law unto
themselves and iniict its penalty when, and
where, they please. The thing must have
a stop put TO it right at the threshold; viola
tors of law most be punished and with i

The board OF Education must take prompt
measures to punish these contennorS of our

concern merely the individual in question,
it concerns every one who has a cfild IN

The DECIMAL SYSTEM. Another move

cure the adoption of the decimal system, so
goods shall be sold and duties paid by

with the Chancellor of the Exehequer, it
was represented by AIr.~AIilIer, of the Bank
Of England, that the ll2 pounds, instead Of
