DeD~ In the report of the discussion be-
tween Mr.. Goggin and Mr.. Montague in

WE'D III Ihe icpoTt vi TIC discussion De-
tween Mr.. Goggn and Mr.. Montague, in
Caroline county, as given in the Freder-
iclSsburg News, we find the following.
"Mr. Montague said-"I voted for Blu
chanan on the Cincinnati platform, but
he has deceived me--he is a traitor 10 his party.
and so help me ny Creator, TNnercr rote for him
again"
That is always the way. When we told
the Democracy in 1856 that Old Buck was
trickster and a humbug of the first wa,
ter, they swore that it was notso-that it
was "Whig lie'--that Buck was an i'm
maculate patriot and an incorruptible
statesman As usual, the Wings were
right-but, as'usual also, the discovery of
that fact by the Democracy comes too
late. Apropos OF this. how is it that Mr.,
Letcher 'sustains" a President whom his
Lieutenant so tiercely denounces.-L Lynch
burg Vayinian.
GRAIN SnIPMENTs.-Oswego, April 90
The shipments of grain from Western
ports continue light. For the eight DAYS
ending on the 10Th inst, only one cargo
OF wheat and two of corn were shipped
from Lake Michigan for Buffalo. and
three cargos of wheat and two of corn to
Oswego. while six .cargos Of wheat were
shipped to Canada. Up to the 10th inst.
the total amount of grain alloat for Oswe-
go was only 100000 bushels of wheat and
$1,000 bushels of corn.
pG" Occasional writes from Wash
iigton to Forney's Press that painful
ris in circulation to the effect that
the chief financial officer of the late
House OF Representatives has been miss
ing for the last two or three weeks, and
that the Clerk, Mr. Allen, Of Illinois, is
in excessive tribulation. The writer for
bears giving names and facts, remarking
only that Mr.. Allen had full warning of
the character of his immediate assistant
before he appointed him. Let us hope
that nothing will result to the disadvan-
tage either of the Government or the
Clerk Of the House of Representatives.
RAJ Tomorrow is juggler that de-
ceives us; quack that pretends to cure
us, and thin ice that will not bear our own
weight. 1t is a fruit beyond our grasp !;
glittering bubble that bursts and van
ishes away; a will-o' -the-wisp that leads
many into the mire, and rock that many
mariners have struck and suffered ship
wreck, it is illusion to all who neglect the
present hour, and reality to those only
who improve to-day.
Ets- A correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune, under date of San Fran
cisco, California, April 4th, says of Gen.
Walker:
Arfrakqf Gen. IEm. Wqlker.-The Gray
Eyed Man of Destiny" has returned TO
his old haunts on the Pacific coast. He
travels under the modest alias OF james
Wilson," and is attended by Bruno Natz-
mer, of Nicaraguan memory, who came
itan Hotel. No public demonstration was
made, and | fear that the General has
"caved in" at least for California. He
finds the character of our population
mach altered. The wild. rowing, adven-
turous. reckless fellows who used to flock
to Walkers banners have all gone to more
profitable employments. No one knows
VIII Walker means to do here. He
keeps very snug and have not yet seen
him in the streets,
BtS- An artist painted cannon SO
naturally the other day, that when he
finished the touch-hole, it went of. A
friend accounts for it by saying it was Ia
ken by the sheriff.
TRY Ir.-Gum Arabic when held in the
mouth, and allowed to dissolve slowly,
will allay the sensation of ticklick which
occasions cough in catarrh and inAama-
ton ofthe lungs.
