{WHOLE NUMBER, lib.
Abolition victory in the South.

The following curious specimens of
political literature, we publish as we find
them in Virginia exchange:
The telegraph informs US of the cleo
ton Of Virginia Abolitionist to the Of
fee Of Chief Magistrate of the Old Do
minion. We were not prepared for such
cheering news. His majority may be
small, but We have abundant cause to re-
joice that slave-ocracy is on tha wane in
Virginia, and that so large q portion Of
her people are imbued with the principles
of the early, and the best, and purest
Statesmen. The Governor elect lives
among the ScotchIr in the heart of
the State, and was the ardent advocate,
a few years ago. of the abolition Of Sla-
very in Western Virginia.-BOstOn Li6-
orator, Nay 80, 1859.
1t fills us with Joy to report the cleo
ton of Democratic Free Soiler to the
important Office of Governor of Virginia.
1t justiies the policy we have sustained,
of refusing to Join the Abolitionists in
invading the institutions of the Southern
States. With no agency of ours, the
black wave is reeeding to the South.
Mr.. fletcher was an advocate of emanci-
patton in Western Virginia some 10 or
II years ago, and though driven by ap-
parent policy to palter to Eastern Vir-
ginia, it is well known that he cherishes
his earlier opinions, and will be encour-
aged by his election to resume them at an
appropriate season. His Democratic
Free Soil brethren at the North hail this
victory with unalloyed pleasure.-NeW'
York Evening Post, May so, 1859.
We have hardly believed the telegram
which reports the election of John Let
cher, the Abolitionist of the Valley of
Virginia. 1t confirms the opinion we
have often expressed, that Virginia was
unsound on the subject of slavery on the,
North of the James River and West of
the Blue Ridge. 1t confirms, too, our
opinion that the States South Of that line
must form a confederacy of their own to
resist the encroaching wave of Black Re-
publicanism. We have long seen the
necessity of Disunion, and we NOW invoke
our timid friends who have dreaded q
dissolution of the union of the States, to
join the Southern League, en- masse, and
build anew the barrier which no longer
exists on the banks Of the Potomac. Let
US have our cherished Southern Confede-
racy from the James River to the Gulf Of
Mexico.-Mobile Southern League.

Why They LEFT THE PARTY.-The
Holly Springs Herald, while compliment
ting the Memphis Enquirer on accession
of Hon. Scion Borland to its editorial
corps, in connection with. the Hon. Jere.
Clemens, says: "Both of these gentlemen
once belonged to the Democratic party
and were elevated to the high positions
they formerly occupied BY that party, and
both are now lending their influence and
talents to destroy the party that thus hon.
ored them" To which the editor thus
responded:
When we belonged to the Democratic
party, it was neither cursed with the her
esy Of disunion or dis6gured by the foul
slime Of corruption. 1t was a party Of
principle-true to its pledges, and unfal-
tering in its attachment to the cardinal
principles of Jefferson and Jackson. The
motley thing which has stolen the name
Of Democracy bears no resemblance to
the old and sterling organization-is en-
titled to none Of our allegiance, and new
er was. We worship in no temple where
Toombs, Stephens. Benjamin, and the
like, are clothed with the vestments Of the
Priesthood and offieiate at the altar; how
ever well they may suit the editor Of the
Herald, who, if we are correctly inform
ed, was formerly one of the most violent
of Wings, and is therefore peculiar
ly fitted to expound Democratic princi-
Piles.

The THREE FIGHTING FELLOWS OF En-
RoPE.-The three principal personages
now leading the great European war, are
thus described, beginning with the youn-
gest:
The Emperor of Austria is nearly go
years of age, and has been Emperor To-
years. He is said to be well informed,
bold, scheming and inscriptions King.
He has ruled Italy with a rod of iron,
and has apparently conciliated the good
will of Hungary. His large army has
exhausted the resources Of his Empire.
and his credit is gone. His name is,
Francis Joseph.
The King of Sardinia, Victor Eman--
uel H., is 80 years of age, was drilled in
the army, and has been King 10 years.
lie leads his army in person.
The eldest of the three is Napoleon,
aged 81 years, and for nearly IL years
President and Emperor of France: It
was supposed at one time that the name
alone had given him his prestige, but all
the events of the last few years have de-
veloped talents and abilities that no one
before suspected. His integrity cannot
be estimated very highly--his military
talents may possibly much surpass what
he has heretofore had credit for. He has
for the last five years been the moving
spirit of Europe. If he confines his am
bition to the overthrow Of Austrian ty-
ranny in Italy, and then permits her own
people to govern themselves, he may be-
regarded as the best friend of italian ma
tionality.

CHAPTER XVII.

The FIEND OF ROME is LOOSE. "KILL! KILL
The result of Philip d. Artoy's i'm
priSonment, and subsequent experience in
the Holy lnquisition, was a fit of severe
sickness, but by the kind care of the
butcher, and the skill Of a physician
whom Simon provided, the malady was
confined to simple fever, and ere long the
young noble was able to be about. He
had learned the fate of Adele, but much
OF the sorrow which he would have other
wise experienced, was removed by the as
surance Of Simon Wendell that he would
see that the fair girl was not harmed.

will pledge my word that while 1 live she
shall not be injured by Malgrida. But
let her remain now, for it will be better
not to raise opposition. until you are able
TO take her under your own charge"
And so Philip tried to make himself
cOntented, and he succeeded as well as
could have been expected, though no man
could have been farther from being hap
ly than was he. He still remained in
the house where he had first been brought
from the Inquisition, and nearly every

EXTREME FooLHARDINEss. - Blondin,
the foolhardy Frenchman, is still at Nj
agara. On Tuesday last he crossed his
tight rope, walking backwards. He
stopped when about one third of the way
out, and sat down to rest for a few mo-
ments, when he again started. After ar
irving midway across. he stopped again,
sat down. and signaled the little steamer,
Maid of the Mist, which came directly
under where he sat. Captain Travis, the
great pistol shot, was aboard the steamer,
according to an agreement, and Blondin
held on. bis hat and allowed him to per-
forate it wit a bullet from the deck of the
vessel. He then lowered the hat, with an
empty bottle, by cord to the boat, and
again proceeded onward. When within
about three hundred feet of the Canada
shore, he laid down upon the rope per-
fectly straight, with his balance pole
across his breast. After a moments rest,
he rose and started again, arriving safely
on the Canada shore, having been twenty
seven minutes going across.
In about twenty minutes he appeared
from his dressing room, tumbling about
like a monkey, dressed in the character Of
Jocko, the Brazilian ape. He soon started
with a wheel-barrow for the American
side, the barrow being fastened by the
handles to belt which he wore around
his waist, carrying his balance pole in his
hands. The wheel of the barrow had a
hange on each side to prevent its coming
off the rope. He stopped three times on
his Journey to rest, but could not sit do Sn,
owing to the barrow being so fastened to
his waist. The time he occupied in 60
ing back was thirty-one minutes.--&.

BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.
WoOdman, spare that tree.
Touch not a single bought
In youth it shelieretme,
And III protect it now.
1t was my fathers hand,
That placed it near his cot;
There, woodman, let it stand;
Thy axe shall harm it not!
That old familiar tree,
Whose glory and rsnown
Are spread DER land and sea
And wouldst thou hew it downl
Woodman, forbsar thy strokel
Cat not its earih-bound ties,
o, spare that aged oak,
Now towering to the skies!
When but an idle boy,
sought its grateful shade;
In all their gushing JOY,
Here, too, my sisters played;
My mother kissed me here,
My father pressed my hand:
Forgive this foolish tear
But let that old oak standi
Ny heart-strinss round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, old friend!
Here shall the wild winds sing,
And still thy branches bend.
Old tree! the storm still bravei
And, woodman, leave the spot!
While I've a hand to save,
Thy axe shall harm it not!
