A TRAGIC INoIDENT.-The Evansville
Enquirer Of Saturday, relates the following
which has something Of the air Of steep
ness" about it, but it may be true:
"We learned this morning of shooting
affair, last week, in Gallatin county, Ken
lucky. It seems a lawyer, named Peyton,
entered the house Of Mr.. Lawrence, dur
ing the absence Of the latter gentleman. and
proceeding to the sleeping apartment Of the
lady Of the house, made dishonorable pro-
posal to her. She, with the courage Of 9
true heroine, discharged loaded pistol Al
the insulter, but missed the mark. Peyton
fed, but the next day the lady saw him in
the street, and. going up to him, discharg.
ed her pistol in his face, blowing out one d
his eyes, and indicting frightful wound
Surgical aid was at once called, but our in.
formant says the opinion was that Peytor
would die.
'sThe Sheriff Of Gallatin county proceed.
ed to arrest Mrs. Lawrence, but that lady
had left the State to visit some relatives il
Indiana. Her husband, who has since re-
turned home, says he will die himself de-
Tending her, before she shall be arrested"

The Hon. Alex. H. II. Stuart.

We are pleased to see that our honored
fellow citizen, the Hon. Alexander Fl. Fl.
Stuart, is widely spoken Of as the candidate
Of the Opposition in the coming Presiden-
tial canvass, and we are sure that wherever
he is known. his friends, (and their name
is legion, irrespective Of party, would be
happy to see him receive this high compli-
ment at the hands Of his political associates
Mr.. Stuart is no novice in politics and
craftsmanship. For four years he repre-.
scented this District in Congress with such
energy and ability as to gain him the ap.
plause of his associates, place among the
first orators of the country, and the graft.
tude of his constituents and as member
of Mr.. Fillmore's Cabinet he filed that higt
and responsible position with..a distinguish.
ed ability unsurpassed by any Of his prede.
ocssors. AS an orator and a gentleman Mr.
Stuart has few equals and no supeliors a.
mong his political friends. and we can as
sure the Opposition that they can find nc
nobler sacrifice to offer up at the shrine o.
tho party which already boasts Of whole
hecatombs of martyrs.

A UsEruI CR1NoL1NB.--A gentleman
whose attention was attracted by the suspic-
ious locomotion Of woman passing from
the store of one ofthe Alexandria merchants
yesterday, deserted the end Of a piece Of ba.
con projecting below her dress. The mer-
chant stated, oE inquiry, that be had sold
her none. The woman was thereupon tro't
back and charged with the theft, and, al
though her proportions were undisturbed.
and indicated nothing wrong, except the
ridiculous fashion, yet the sequel proved
that she had concealed beneath her crinoline
q side of bacon which weighed thirty five
pounds! The charity Of the merchant, like
the crinoline Of the culprit, covered her sin
and she was told to 80 and offend no more

Virginia h the Councils Of the National
\. Democracy.

A friend nUs long since remarked to US
that hc had attended several National Con-
ventions of the Democratic party, and that
in every instance he had Witnessed with
pleasure and pride the Difference shown to
the Virginia delegation. It appeared to
him that this State, with an electoral vote
never exceeding seventeen, within the peri
cd to which he referred, had during that
time carried more influence in Convention
than New York or Pennsylvania, and on
some important occasions more influence
than all the States combined. He felt proud
Of State that could accomplish such i'm
portant results through its moral power a.
lone.
Our friend fully understood and appreci-
ated the cause Of the great influence Of Vir-.
ginia in the councils of the party. He
knows that it was attributable entirely to
the prevalence of the impression that the
Democracy Of Virginia are honestly devoted
to prlnciples-broad, defined, legible prin-
ciples-that they 60 in Convention not for
the purpose Of securing merely selfish ends
through bargains and intrigues with politi-
cal sharpers; bat for the patriotic purpose
Of cooperating in the selection Of candidates
for the highest Offices Of the Republic. who
are faithful and trne to its best interests. So
Heretofore Virginia has indeed occupied an
env;able position in oar National Conven-
tions. Since 1886. she has said to her
brethren in Convention, ''Virginia asks
nothing for herself. She only asks that the
FIRST Offices of-the government shall be filled
by men who rightly understand and who
will faithfully carry out its true principles. .
And Il must be admitted that these profess
sioAs Of Virginia have been well illustrated
in her acts.
It should surely be an object near the
heart Of every true Democrat Of Virginia,
to support and maintain the proud character
which his party in the State has Acquired
| by It's liberal, patriotic and disinterested
course in Convention. We sincerely hope
that the Virginia Democracy will not suffer
in numerical or moral force, by the dispute.
that have unfortunately arisen among them
in consequence of the appearance Of rival
| Presidential candidates in their ranks. We
hope their hitherto proud Gag will not be
loacered before the Charleston Convention
Such must and will be the case, however
| if we have protracted war between thu
rivals here. and then take it fer Gnal decis
ion to the Convention at Charleston. Il
that event, ',the rest of mankind will conn
to the conclusion that we are, after all, jus
as selfish and just as bad in every respec
as they are Even the hards and softs Q

Bates Writes a Letter too.

This gentleman has lately put in his bid
for martyrdom in the shape of letter to
the committee Of the Opposition ID Mem
phis, Tenn, in answer to On invitation to
unite in cele bration Of the recent Con-
gressional victory @ in that State. Like
the first renowned Roman Oppositionist,
Lucius .Catiline, Mr.. Bates and his party
never let the opportunity escape Of making
earnest appeals to the young men. ''But
those he chiefly affected to draw into his
party"-we quote from sallust, the histori-
an.of the arch-conspirator. -'swere young
gentlemen their minds being. by reason Of
their age, soft and pliable. were easily ca
joled." Mr.. Bates, however, differs wide
ly from Sallust in his definition Of .tOppo-
sitionist." He says: u I.
''The name implies that the party is made
up Of the good men of other parties Dem.
ocrats, Wings, Americans, Republicans
all who can no longer brook the wild ex-
travagance and wanton disregard Of princi-
pie in an administration and party, which.
emboldened by their former unmerited sue
cess, vainly imagine that they ''can afford
to disregard the censures of the world, =
and to despise the judgment Of history."
The Roman historian, after dealing ou'
long list of infamous adjectives, thus sum,
up the merits Of the Opposition ''Final
ly, all whom wickedness, want. or guilty
conscience made uneasy these were Gaia
lines nearest and most intimate friends
X \ He stuck at no cost or breach
of modesty, whatever, to get them into hi
power, and secure them OF his interest"
