The SKUNK MANIA.-The furrierS in this
city have bought pretty well towards twenty
five hundred OF the skins, and they have by
no means bought all that have been brought
into town. One nan, last week, brought
here upwards Of a hundred, for which he was
offered eigh,y-two cents each, but as lie was
looking fer larger price, lie passed on to
find market IN Tolcdo.-AdriIH (-Nich.)
Wdfchiglrer.
The Skunk mania bids fair to eclipse even
Pixies Peak. All over the West skunk skin
traders abound and skuEsI hunters are on
the alert for more victims. That which here.
toforc everybody seems TO have been anx-
ious to avoid is now eagerly sought for
Skunks which have heretofore been all We
to flourish and enjoy their domestic habits
In peace and GuietneSs, now find their homes
ruthless'y invaded, their unhappy progeny
knocked on the head, and in spite of their
h therto supposed invincible arnor, them
selves and their families inhumanly iilved
for the purpose Of decorating a hitherto dcs-
pissed race. The supply seems to Increase
with the demand, and yet prices arc con
SANITY going up. \ few weeks since when
the excitement first broke out 12I and 20
cents was considered 4 good price, but now
So, 30 and even as hg. as 100 cents each,
We understand, have been paid for the odor-
ferrous article. The skins are taken to Ger
many where they are deoderized and chan
gcd into Siberian Squirrel, and then retuI-
ned to this country 10 decorate the shoulders
OF our bcaux and bellies ana it is now well
aSccrtaincd that the principal cases of the
most popular Partisan perfumes are supplied
from the essence bags Of the dc.unct ami
mai.
Here in Buffalo a thriving, and we may
say an exceedingly extensive, business is al
ready being done. \ skun. depot has been
established nearly opposite Office, AID
huge packages are daily taken through cur
1t is said that the employees OF the express
companies suffer some" from their confne-
ment in the close Car, and that MANY have
been forced to LAY up in consequence of
the odor; but al. these little inconvenience
must yield to the necessities Of commerce
Can it be possible, asks some one, that
such an extensive mine of wealth has so lon =
remained undiscovered in our midst? Are
skunk skins TO become j staple article of
iUrs! We see no reason to doubt it. It is
the common boast Of our statesmen that the
resources of this country are but half dCvel-
oped, and we begin to believe it. Skunks
from time immemorial have been an article
Of dread, and why may they not, under this
strange disguise, have hidden precious
Jewel like the toad, ugly and vcomous''-
The time has arrived, however, when Skunks
must yield TO tie utiitarian spirit of the age,
and we give the movement our unqualified
and hearty endorScment.-Bufu Erpress.

belief that there WAS something honest and
proper Ia its enuncistion. We refer to the
proposal that Judge Whitman should with
draw from the State ticket in favor of Judge
Swan, accompanied With statements, con-
oerning Judge WIS own yiews, which w@e
unquslifedly and wilfally false, and now TO
cap the climax, some one Of the hireling PEN
ny-a- liners Of this sheet, with sublime i'm
pudence attacks Judge w. for refusing to
dishonor himself by bargaining for the aban-
donment Of the high trust committed to him
by his party, and says that the Enquirer has
no apologies to make him or his friends for
its disgraceful course.

OLD PoINr Conrosr, July 4, l850.--The
late excessively warm weather which has de-
cimated the population Of our dusty cities,
has driven an immense crowd Of pleasure
seekers to this favorite summer resort, and
the Old Hygsia 10 now crowded With gay
throng Of visitors from all parts Of the coun-
try.
According to custom the Virginia aristoo-
racy have held their grand annual pow-wow
here to-day, and quite exciting has boon the
tone and temper OF the styoung bloods. The
Presidential canvass Was oil arranged in .
few hours, it being settled that the Hon. r.
M. 7. Hunter Was to be the next Democratic
candidate for the next Presidency, and was
to be elected by an overwhelming majority
over N. P. Banks, whom they predict will be
the Republican candidate. The Wisemen
we're nowhere. Hunter is the beau ideal Of
Eastern Virginia, and the only drawback
suggested in the way Of his success was the
transcsndant ability Of the man. Several
argued that nbiNty and availability were
antsgonistic terms, and tho day was passed
when such man AZ Mr.. Hunter could be ell
cvated to the Presidential chair. Mr.. Blu
chanan was never once spoken Of 40 being
in the ring. Virginia may be put down for
Hunter in the Charleston Convention.

1t will be recollected that Judge Whitman,
OF Lancaster, Ohio, was nominated by the De-
mocracy Of that State for the Supreme Bench.
After the defeat Of Swan before the Repub-
lican State Convention, the plotters and
thimble-riggers Of the Democratic party con-
cocted scheme for Withdrawing Whitman
and supporting Swan as an independent can
didate. The Cincinnati Enquirer undertook
to prepare public sentiment for the yuse and
delicately limited Whitman OF tho track. But
Whitman wouldn't take hint, and the En-
qusrsr Was forced TO speak out in plain terms.
Whitman, however, like one Of our retired
Democratic Alderman, had had entirely toe
much trouble to get the nomination, and toe
little hope for another chance to be willing te
retire very readily. He could not be induced
BY gentle hints, by open requests, nor yet BY
downright threats, to sget out Of the way
Thsreupon the Enquirer pitched into him,
denounced him ~ dolt for his refusal, and
invoked the indignation Of the Democracy
upon him for thereby aiding to defeat Their
State ticket.
This, OF course, reused the blood Of the
home organ OF Whitman, the Lancaster Eagle
which pitches into the Enquirer after the
following fashion;
Then came the most impudent and bare
faced proposition that ever emsnated from
the brain OF : political triokster; yet 30 COW

interested patriotism, that few honest
thinking Democrats were entrapped into the

The steamship Atna, from Liverpool the I'd
inst, arrived at this port this morning. Her
advices are the same as those brought by the

| At Paris it is believed in some quarters
that the French loss at the battle OF Solferi-
| no amounted TO from 10000 to $4,000 men.

ing in the line OF battle.
The Vienna correspondent OF the London
Times, writing on the 18th, says that some
days must elapse before the complete re-
turns of the losses of the Austrians could be
received.
The same writer says that the Italian rsei-
ments in the Austrian Army have become very
difficult to manage. The mon desert by
scores and ifties. In the neighborhood OF

sanitary condition of his army vas excellent.

lery attached to the Imperial Guard, was pnt
hors du combat.
ENaLANp.-In the House Of Lords on FRI
