Virginia Republicans.

A Washington correspondent Of che
New York Evening Post writes
IL may seem somewhat singular with
you, but believe the Republicans in
Virginia hold the balance of power be-
tween the two great parties to-day.
This is the opinion Of a shrewd Vir-
ginia politician. There are thousands
of northern freemen already in Vir
ginia. In a town not a dozen miles
from Washington there are over fifty
voters, who came from the North, and
are Republican in sentiment They
proposed a month ago voting for Cog
gin, but his abuse Of the Republicans
lately disgusted them, and they agreed
in q body to stay away from the polls
BY another gubernatorial election in
Virginia the Republicans in the State
will make themselves tell as a power.
The Wheeling Iutelligencer, an able
and determined advocate Of free labor,
cast its influence against both Letohor
and Gogr Thousands of Opposition
voters from the polls In
North inia, from dislike
Of tt ry attitude Of the
cand admits Of doubt
that h of this class Of
voters Co have elected Cog.

a Damned Administration.

A Despised Administration.
To be kicked and cuied about by
ones enemies is truly bad enough; but
to be despised and rejected by ones
own political friends, is enough to try
the patience Of a Job. The "Pioneer"
correspondent Of j. w. Forney's Press
thus sketches the position of Mr.. Bu-
ohanans Administration;
In the North, already, the iniquity
Of this Administration has deprived it
Of power; and to-day, in the oouth, it
is becoming surely Tylerized, Hon.
Jeremiah Clemens denounoes itin Ala

TRIALS OF MARRIED LIFE.-Married
life has its trials and its sorrows. Tenn
pers may prove Incompatible, and call
for forbearance. Fortune may be ohary
of its favors, and enforce self.deRial.
Children may be ungrateful, and sting
the poor heart that has pillowed them.
Sickness may come, aud haunt house
hold for years. But ask the poor man,
struggling along with his debts, and the
weary woman, tOiling early and late, ae-
eomplishing the ruin of all her beauty
and her buoyancy, if they would be
placed apart, could competence be given
chem, and all their trials be brought to
an end The answer would be:-"There
is something sweetor in this companion
ship Of suffering, than anything the
world can offer from its storehouse Of
Joys outside of it, and something which
would make even severer trials than
ours only iron bands to draw us more

REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE Trade
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press says: "An i'm
mense organization is developing itself
in the South, to set at defiance the
laws framed for the purpose of prohib-
iting the traffic in foreign slaves. Tt is
not doubted that thousands of African
slaves have been, and are now being
landed on the coasts Of Georgia, South
Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Texas.
You were right, the other day, in stat
ing that this fact had been brought to
the attention of the Interior Depart
ment, and that no notice has been taken
Of the information thus lodged, although
the official who gave it has written a
second time begging the Government to
interfere to preserve the lat0s, declaring
his inability to do so alone, and, with
out means, to prevent the landing and
running into the interior Of these car
goes Of human beings"
