The Richmond Wing publishes variety of
extracts from democratic papers, all to the eff
feet that, in their opinion, Gov. Wise's recent
letter has ruined his prospects for the President
ship, and adds We don't know about that !
The probability is that some OF the rest of the
aspirants will get caught in worse scrapes yet
before the election If they are not, it will be
because they haven't another Donnelly for cor
respondent.

THE KENTUCKY ELEorIoN.-The latest advices
from Kentucky confirm the truth of the report
of the election of Anderson, Opposition candi
date for Congress in the Fourth district. This
gives to the Opposition five out of the ten dis
tricts, instead of two. The Democratic candi
date elected in the Fifth district will not have
attained the required age to qualify as a member
of Congress, the coming session, and the election
in the Eighth district, in which the Democratic
candidate is reported to have sixty-seven major
ity, is to be contested, with strong probability
that the frauds which will be proved to have
been perpetrated by the locofocos will give the
seat to the Opposition candidate This is the
old Ashland district, and it is now the home of
Hon. John @. Breckenridge.

DISCOVERY OF AN IsLAND-The New Bed

Capt Robert D. Eldridge ofthe bark Amazon,

Pacific ocean, several hundred miles from any

apparently built from pieces of @ wreck, with a
flag staff at one end, from which still dangled
the halyard block. Near the house were sever
al little hummocks, each with tall upright stone
upon it, evidently the graves Of the poor fellows
who had escaped from the wreck ofthelr vessel,
and died on this dreary spot, where perhaps
they had spent months in vainly looking tor q

The Washington States has the following:

1t is stated that Chiriqui is to be the "head-
quarters of the next filibustering movement
In the course of three or four months it is ex-
pected that there will be at least ten thousand
"grave-diggers" in that vicinity. After they
have secured all the booty which can be found
in that locality, movement will be made for
some other parts of the Isthmus--which are
known to abound with ancient graves. 1t is I'M
derstood that they will organize in bodies Of
from five hundred to one thousand, and will go
fully prepared to defend themselves against In
dams or whoever may interfere with them
Whether the United States Government will in.
terfere with such movement, is question we
cannot pretend to answer. We do not see that
they can do so, however; and even if they at
tempt it, they will have force to cope with
which they will find it very difficult to overcome
Even 5000 men will make a good stand against
any force that we could send against them and
so far as Central America is concerned, five
thousand of the Ohriqui flibusters will sweep
everything before them.

The WISE LETTERING Cassidy, editor of the
Albany atlas and Argus, in whose hands the
letter Of Gov. Wise was left, Indignantly denies
the imputation that he had anything to do with
its publication in the New York Herald. He
says he "was more chary Of the reputation OF
Gov. Wise than his own correspondent" Ber-
nard Donnelly and that he mentioned the con-
tents of the letter to no one until it was ascer-
tanned that copy was in circulation in Albany,
on the day the committee met. Heidi not even
send the letter to Dean Richmond, at Buffalo,
under the permission given by Mr.. Donnelly.
The Washington Star says Donnelly is not on
ly utterly without position as politician, but
notorious as crack Drained blatherskite, with.
out influence of any sort, even in the political
circle in which he has been sprouting for dozen
years past without taking root. From what we
know of Mr.. Donnelly, we are by no means sur
prsed that the worse than foolish letter OF Gov
Wise to him was aired in the newspapers so
soon as it was morally impossible that he could
resist the temptation to shvw il to hundreds oil
politicians, of all grades, by way of impressing
them, confdentially, with his own Importance.

TIE FAMILY SADDLE.--We were shown
beautiful "side saddle" yesterday, at the estsbs
lishment of Crew & Warford, Jefferson ST., be-
tween Cd and Sd, which will compare favora
bly, with anything Of the kind we ever saw.
While we were admiring this extra fne piece
Of handiwork, one of the proprietOrs took hold
Of the "short horn" and by few dexterouS
turns, removed it together with the "lopg horn"
or hand hold, and the entire front, which con>
stituted the side saddle, and almost "in q twink
ling" )" the institution was metamorphOssd into
the most elegant gentleman's saddle ever be.
held When the lady's fixture was attached
we could not detect any appearance Of gem
tleman's saddle about it and SO quickly wa
the "change Of sex" given to the saddle that
we could hardly realize that il was the same -
The side saddle attachment is put on quickly
and frmly-as complete as though made eK.
pressly for ladies' uss and the cost, We are
assured, is but triAe above the cost Of the sad
die without it. The great advantage Of this
saddle is that every member Of the family
male and female--may use it with safety and
comfort It's economy will recommend 1t to all
| families who do not desire to 60 to the expense
Of purchasing two saddles, when one eau be
made to answer as good purpose or better. The
family saddle ia the invention and handiwork
of Mr.. WILLIAM YArEs, late Of PhilRdelphia,
and took the premium at the late Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Y has proven himself the most ingenious
workman in the country, and MessB. Crew d
Warford have been fortunate in securing his
services. Mr.. Y. will devote his eneges 10
fine work, and will excel anything in the line
ever presented here. Gentlemen will please
make note of this item. The ladies will, we
hope, insist on getting one Of these Family Sad
dies.
Msssrs, O. 4 W. are now getting up some
fine work. in addition to more heavy and ser
Viceable articles for the drAy, team aud farm
We heartily recommend them and their estab-
lishment TO the public, and hope our readers
will give them acall.

Ma EDIToR "A few days ago l exposed
some Of the gyrations Of candidate Dennison,
with view to remind the Gazette, that men
who live in glass houses should never undertake G
to throw stones. This il seems 80 terribly
frightened the Editor, that instead Of standing
by his candidate manhly, as friend should
do, and try to raise him from the couch Of
thorns upon which placed him. he claps his
tail between his legs and runs away from him
like scared spaniel; then turns and barks at
the Empire. This is a game of legerdemain
that might doto play off in Warren county, but
it wont do in Montgomery.
l have shown that the Gazette's candidate
for Governor gyrates; is vacilaiing; that he pro.
poses to entertain different principles at differ
ent times; this the Gazette does not and dare
not undertake to deny. But as an offset it puts
in the plea that Judge Ranney is guilty of sus.
tanning Democratic Resolutions How wonds
erful agacious the discovery, that it is wrong
for Democrat to sustain Democratic resolu.
tions But Judge Ranney is also guilty Of
supporting S, P. Chase. for Senator. 1t is true
that the Judge might perhaps have found bet
ter employment just then. presume he took
Chase to be an honest man, who then professed
to be a Democrat; but it turned out that he
was only democrat for that office After he
obtained it in this surteptitious wagon false
pretenses-he returned, like SOW that was
washed, to his wallowing in the abolition mire /;
a profitable operation, but not very honest
one, for man to make who is aspiring TO the
Presidential chair.
We are also reminded by the Gazette that
Judge Ranney is "wealher cock a pirate
killer" "knse>bender," that he can roll up"
and that he was at one time practical
sailor" These are certainly accomplishments
that are not to be disposed, but we doubt the
correctness Of the Gazette's information as tC
his having been a sailor. His "weather. cock
qualities | think were pretty well displayed
when he accepted the nomination for Governor
| guess he knew about which way the wind
was blowing; his expertness as "plrate xii
Ter" will be properly appreciated when the
Gazette man shall see the abolition land pirates
drop on the second Tuesday of October next
Whether he is "knee- bender" can be ascer.
tanned provided your candidate will meet hin
in public discussion; he will not only bend
his knees, but will make them smite together
And finally, ! have no doubt that he will "rol
up" such a majority against the aboitionists as
will astonish even Dennison himself
have thus briefly replied to the Gazette,
article; butmy own opinion is, that the bes
argument against such childish prattle is con
tanned in its own Stiffness j.

SoARLET FEyER-This plague to the little
people is now ravaging the country in many 10,
ealities, and in many instances its virulence
battles the skill Of physicians, and the tender

whom we have long known as worthy and
intelligent man, writes to the Cincinnati Com.
mercial remedy which has been extensively
applied in Kentucky with the most gratifying
results. 1t is astrong tea made Of poo BRSNEL,
to be drank warm or cool frequently by the
patient; poultice of the leOUes of the plant,
to be applied to the throat, and often renewed,
until relief is obtained, This plant is to be
found in every part Of the country, and we hope
it will be given thorough trial in all cases Of
scarlet fever. We had heard of this remedy
years agone, and were assured that it would
check the disease. We are again reminded Of
it, and give our readers the benefit Of remedy
which is stated TO be efiicacious in nearly all
cases,

The BEAUTIEs OF WAR-During the cam.
psign Of the British army in India against
the Sinks few years ago. dispatch to the

Of the natives, who were in retreat crossing
river in the most glowing terms, and COM
cluded with these words-"Too much praise
cannot be awarded to Lieut. Col. -, every
gun from whose batteries told with the most
beautiful effect on the dense masses of the
enemy" A parallel of this philanthropio
sentiment may be found in a letter from a
private soldier in the French regiments,
which has just been published in Paris pa
per. Aher describing the battle of Solfer'
inc, notre brave thus expresses himself
''Never since entered the army have ], in
single day done 50 much killing as ! did
on the l4th inst" Some Of these unofficial
reports on the war are we'll calculated to
give us new idea of the capacities of our
common nature.

hN' sho
Mn. EDIToR:--I observe controversy among
correspondents of the several daily papers
growing out of the "tall throwing" at the tall
steeple, aud the presentation of silver horn
to the Independents" "for making the best
play on record. 200 feet high through 500 feet
of hose"
The statement Of fact iu the inscription is
certainly fanciful, but might be pardoned in
consideration Of the fact that tho horn is a
bio'oing instrument; that Mr., Jcffera' busines,
is TO sell machines, and that the attachment OF
the several companies to their respective Cubs
is in itself eommendable. we're it not for tn,
fact that such an hsraldic announcement, If un
true even in part, docs injustice to others o.
equal merit
The statement is certainly incorrect Il NAV
doubtless have appeared to many, standing o.
hs ground, that more than one stream wen
over the steeple, while il would be impossible e
fnd man who occupied an elevated position
whence he could judge accurately, who would
agree with them. But suppose the stream,
did 20 clear over the steeple. The sieeple /.
1873 feet high feet high, and the difference be,
tween that aud 200 feet Is great, when il is OBJ
served, that in tall" throwing every foot at III,
end Of the stream is as good as three feet some
what nearer the nozzle,
But notwithstanding the fact that the Inde.
pendents' stream appeared, to many standing
GU the ground. 10 go clear over the steeple, III,
real fact Of the case is, that on the occasion
referred TO, the highest stream thrown by tn,
Independents fell short Of the wood work Jus
about as far ESTIMATED at six fset,) as the high
est Oregon stream went above it. Dayton
says;
| Understand that Mr.. Benjamin seid land q,
| is quoted as authority by Oregon that the In
dependents stream went within two feet Of IN
top Of the woodwork, aud the spray went owe
both balls, which | suppose is substantially
correct statement Of the first throw made b,
the Independents; at the second aud thir,
throws there was no observation taken from IN
point designated by Oregon"
This Is not correct. Mr.. Benjamin was .
the point designated by "orsgou" all tls tim.
aud did take observation Of the second an
third as well as Of the first throw made by IN
Independents; and Il any one will consult his
lhe on subject, he will doubtless state, subs,ar
tially, what IL affirmed above
We will admit, for the sake Of The argupsn
