Any good chess player will see that the allies
did not play this game with remarkable brill
fancy; and it is also just as evident that Mr.
Morphy did not make a move which did not
tend to develope his own game while it embar-
raised that of his opponents. His moves were
made rapidly, and, seemingly, without refec-
ton. In fact he seemed to be more occupied
by pleasant conversation with those around
him than with the game. The last move of
the allies was ludicrous blunder and caused
an outburst of laughter from all the chess
players present who were following the game
at the various tables in the rooms. We
do not think it possible for George Ham
mond, playing alone, to play SO badly without
making great effort to do so. 1t was the
weakest playing Mr.. Morphy has encountered
in Boston. Having finished this game he de-
clined to play another at that time.
There is in the chess club considerable dis
satisfaction with the committee who have had
the management of Mr.. Morphy since his ar
rival in Boston. 1t is charged that they have
deprived chess players Of opportunity to be-
come acquainted with him,-that they keep
him from the club rooms, or take him
there only to parade the public between
him and members of the club, - that
while acting as committee of the club
they make association with him very
exclusive and private affair,-that the price
fixed for admission to the dinner was express
ly intended to exclude all but few members
Of the club, while great array of outsider,
were admitted,--and the like. / will not un
dertake to say how much reason there is fol
this complaint 1t is certain, however, thai
members Of the club were crowded out ofseats
and Out OF reasonable enjoyment, last night, by
great company of outsiders who know
no more Of chess than they know Of
the man who spoke Choctaw ut the
tower of Babel. 1t is also certain that
the dinner was extravagantly beyond the
means Of majority of the club that ia
10 say, beyond what men of sense and
moderate means can well afford to pay Il il.
however, nowise likely, that failure to become
acquainted with Morphy will blight any man,
hope OF good fortune. MUzIo.

POLITICAL.

The Washington States says of the Virginia
election 1--WE regard the result of the gu
bernatorial election of Virginia as having vir-
tually opened the Presidential campaign of
1860. We confess we are painfully surprised
by that result We confidently calculated that
Mr.. Letcher would receive a majority of from
ten to twenty thousand" The Boston Post,
not a bit discouraged, and extracting the most
beautiful of sunbeams from the coolest of Gu
cumbers, says the opposition "have lost their
State ticket, lost the Legislature, and jagged
the Democratic lion just hard enough to Sc
cure an overwhelming retribution on the next
trial of strength"
The editor of the Henderson Democrat, a
Democratic paper in Minnesota, exposes the
tricks of his party, stating that Democrats in
high position base their hopes of success in the
coming fall campaign upon anticipated bogus re-
turns from RenviAe, Murray, Cottonwood, Pipe
stone, Pembina, and other out-ottheOay counties /!
He also states that he himself has been ap.
preached in a corrupt manner, and his consci.
entious convictions impel him to abandon such

The Attorney General of the United States,
under instructions Of the President, has given
an opinion in regard to the differences which
have arisen in Utah, between Gov. Cumming

ton, in which the judiciary and the army o.
Utah are severely censured. The President
says he is decidedly of the opinion =
/. That the Governor of the Territory alone
has power to issue requisition upon the com
manding general for the whole or part of the
army. 2. That there was no apparent occa
sion for the presence of the troops at Provo
3. That if rescue of the prisoners in custody
had been attempted it was the duty of the
marshal, and not of the judge, to summon thu

a. That the troops ought not to have beer

Whereas, American slavery is the sum of

Resolved, Thatwe renounce all church as

with all who in any manner knowingly and

Resolved, That all laws for the support of

GETTING PURcHAsE.-An old Methodist
clergyman had alluded at some length, in an
extempore discou Sc, to the miracle of blowing
down the wall of Jericho. After this sermon
was ended and he was walking homeward, a
Mississippi boatman, with a companion, over
took him, and opened a conversation with him
upon the subject of the miracle. "You say,
said he, "that seven men, with seven horns,
walked seven times, round the walls, blowing
seven blasts seven times and then the walls fell
in ?" The clergyman said the miracle was
properly stated. "Looks reasonable, don't
it?" asked the boatman of his companion, who
shook his head doubtingly. "You see," he
repeated, chat there We're seven men with
seven horns, and they marched seven times
round the walls, and bowed seven blasts seven
times? Don't you think 'twould fetch 'em %
Lets see" said his companion, Seven times
seven is forty nine seven times forty is

MouRNruL CALAMITY.--A most painful cal
amity occurred on the l4th of May, near night,
on the West fork Of the Trinity, about seven
miles above Fort Worth, Texas. A gentle
man living near West Fork, on returning home
during the heavy rain, found his house being
rapidly surrounded with the flood that was
rushing down the low lands bordering on the
stream. He had wife and seven children
took two of them on his shoulders and carried
them over the water to shed on the premises
placed them upon it. and started back for the
other children and his wife. He had not gone
far, when a cry from the shed drew his atten-
ton he looked back and discovered ii floating
of with his two children on it. He rushed
after it, and after following it nearly half mile,
succeeded in placing his children upon place
of safety. Night was rapidly coming on, and
he returned to save his wife and remaining
children, but alas lie found not even YES
tige of his home, no sign of wife or child /;
and TO add TO the horrors of the scene, dark
ness was fast settling down upon the rushing
flood, whose appalling roar deadened the cries
Of the family, even If they then lived The
unhappy father has heard nothing from them
yet, and every effort made to find their bodies
has proved unayailing.

WILBRAHAM AcADEMr.--we have received
the following note correcting our information
relative to the misunderstanding at the Wes-
leyan Academy:
WILBRAHAM, June Sd, 1859
! noticed in your issue of the Spy of to-
day an erroneous account Of disturbance in
Wesleyan Academy. LIST. Instead Of thirteen
pupils being expelled they are suspended only
I'd. The reason Of the refusal Of the class to
accept their appointments was because of their
dissatisfaction at the comforting Of the highest
honor. The appointments would have been
accepted with pleasure by the class if the ap-
pointed yaledictorian had been one who had
been entitled to the place-but unwilling to
accept an Grafton under the one appointed,
thirteen Of the class respectfully resigned their
appointments. The cause of the resignation
was not the result Of any Ill feeling towards
the Principal or institution, but because of the
injustice Of the appointment Of valedictorian
for which refusal they were dismissed. W.
