Old Virginia..

An Illinois Sucker took great dislike
to a foolish young Virginian who was a
fellow passenger with him on one of the
Mississippi steamboats,. The Virginian
was continually combing his hair, brush
| ing his clothes, or dusting his boots---ro
all of which movements the Sucker took
exceptions, as being what he termed "a
leetle too darned nice. by half" He f.
nally drew up his chair beside the Virgin
ian and began
"Whar might you be from, stranger"
Il am from Virginia, sir," politely an
swered the gent.
From old Virginny, suppose?" says
x Yes. sir, odd Virginia" was the reply.
"You are pooty high up in the picturs,
thar. l suppose?"
II don't know what you mean by that
remark, SIR" ..- ......I.-.......
ooh, nuthin," says the Sucker, "but
that you are desp'rate rich, and have been
brought up right nice" a
"lf the information will crafty you, in
any way" says the gent, patronlzingly,
smoothing down his hair, II belong to
one of the first families"
ooh, in course" answered the Sucker.
"Well, stranger, bein' as you belong to
the furst, III just give you two of the
fattest shoats in all Illinois ef you'll only
find me a feller that belongs to one OF the
second Virginia families"
"You want to quarrel with me, sir"
says the Virginian. - it
"No, stranger, not an atom," answered
the Sucker, "but never seed one of the
second family. and I'd gin suthin' to git
sight at one of 'em. I know you are one
of the furst, cause you look just like John
Randolph"
This modified the Virginian-:he hint
of resemblance to the statesman was
fattering to his feelings, and he accord
ipgly acknowledged relationship to the
orator.
"He, you know, descended from the
1ngin gal, Pocahontas?.
"You are right, sill" he answered.
"Well, stranger" said the Sucker, "do
you know thar is anuther queer thing al
lays puzzles me, and it's this--I never
seed Virginian that didn't claim to be
either descended from an Ingin, John
Randolph, or nigger." ..
We need not add that the Sucker rolled
off his chair suddenly! They were sepa-
rated until the Sucker got of at landing
near his home. AS lie stepped ashore. he
caught sight of the Virginian on the up
per deck, and hailed him at once with:
Il say, old Virginny, remember two
fat shoats for the first feller you find that
belongs to the second Virginia family"

GONG TO HOLD OvER.-In view of the
strong probability that the "Black Repub.
licans'' will elect their candidate for Pres
ident, next fall, the Washington Estates. u
the especial organ of Senator Douglas atthe
Federal Capital. offers the following rea-
sonable suggestion to the present heads Of
Departments:
"a sentiment is beginning to develope
itself in the slave holding States which. il
we mistake not the signs of the times, will
soon be heard in Washington. demanding
of Howell Cobb. John B. Floyd, Jacob
Thompson and Joseph Holt, an answer,
whether they are prepared to surrender the
purse, the sword, and the navy, to Sew
ardism, in case of its consolidation, on the
4th Of March, 1861" ar r
We ale anxious to know how Messrs.
Cobb, Floyd, Thompson and Holt can help
themselves; or by what process the "slave
holding States'' proposes to keep "he
purse, the sword and the navy" in case
the PEOPLE of the United States see fit to
elect William H. Seward President in
l86O.-Mlwaukee Sentinel.

THE OPINION OF AMERICA ON A VITAL
SUBJEoT!-Show an American any inven-
ton, from political constitution to a pat
ent rat-trap, and his first impulse will be
to search for its defects; his next, to i'm.
prove upon it. If, however, he finds it
perfect--capable of performing all that is
claimed for Invaluable, unimprovable
he acknowledges the corn, adopts the
article, whatever it may be; and renders
due honor to the inventor. This trait in
our national character is signally illustra-
ted in the bouudless popularity of Pro-
fesssor Holloway's remedies in this coun-
try. When they were first advertised in
the United States, half the world had al
ready approved them. The leading gov
ernments of Europe, public institutions.
and eminent scientific men had endorsed
them. But these credentials were not suf-
ficient for "Brother Jonathan" He must
try them in the crucible of experiment.
The results were in the highest degree sat
isfactory. Dyspepsia, bilious complaints,
affections of the bowels, all the painful and
dangerous varieties of internal disease dis
appeared, invariably, under the operation
of the Pills; while external disorders, and
the effects of external injuries, were rapid
ly and uniformly removed by the applica-
ton of the Ointment. This was demons
tration. The national mind was convinced.
Enthusiasm replaced doubt.
We presume that the establishment in
New York Of central depot for the sale Of
his remedies in the United States, has been
the means of adding very considerably to
his princely fortune; but if it has been
pecunary benefit to him, it has been
benefit which money cannot measure to
thousands of our suffering fellow citizens.
The Ointment and Pills are now accessi-
BILE to people of every class, in every part
Of the Union, and the amount of good they
have accomplished may be estimated from
the fact, that almost without exception,
the newspapers and other periodicals have
published statements of cures effected by
their operation, and back the statements
by editorial declarations of their authentic
ity. This is mass of evidence not to be
controverted or shaken. 1t is rock of
truth against which the waves of profess
sional prejudice beat in vain.-N Y
Courier.

EsA ship captain who has Just ar

that between Sevastopol and Baiakava,
the country presents most devastated
appearance, diversified only by the mound
raised here and there over some fallen
warrior. Balaklava itself he describes as
a vas. Golgotha, where small heaps OF
stone are the only marks of distinction
separating the resling-place of the officer
from that of his subordinate.
