Fire Insurance.

We invite attention to the advertisements OF
the various Fire Insurance Companies in this
paper. The March winds will soon be upon us,
and every property owner will feel more secure
if his buildings are insured. All the companies
advertising with us are known to be responsible
and to pay the losses promptly. The Etna, Of
which Mr.. A. F. Kinney is the Agent, speaks
for itself in this ISSUE The "Valley" and the
'sLynchburg Hose and Fire Insurance" compa
MES have been before our readers for some time
Mr.. Kinney informs US that the income of the
Etna Insurance Company during the past year
was 81, 654, s6375, during which time it has
paid losses to the amount of $775, 601.11 without
moments delay for the want of means. The
present capital Of the Company paid in cash i:
One Million OF Dollars
sat the present day no discreet person who
has acquired property by his own efforts and
skill, or from the labors of honored sires, neg
lects to avail himself of the means so easily &C
cessible to protect and preserve his acquisitions
by the payment of small but adequate premi
um to prudent and responsible UNDERWATER
To suffer the loss of the labors of years or life
time, excites in the public mind but little sym
pathy, so easily are the means at hand to guart
against such an unfortunate contingency"

We are indebted to Mr.. Henry McCaffrey o
Baltimore for three pieces of new music, said by
those who are competent to judge to possess un-
usual merit. One of the pieces is composed by
our townsman, Prof J. O. Englebrecht, and is en-,
titled the allowing Mszourka." The Mt Yer
non March, by F. Southgate, embellished on the
title page with an accurate representation of the
home of Washington, and beautiful ballad
"Dost thou think would forget thee" by W
A. Schinet, are the other pieces. All of them
arc gotten up in very handsome style, as is al
ways the case with the music sheets published
by this house. We commend these pieces to
the attention ofperformers on the piano forte
on the authority of gentleman known to be
an tat in such matters

A stumper for the Candidates.

a correspondent of the Buckingham Regis
ter" propounds some interrogatories to the can
didates for Congressional honors which we should
like to see answered fairly and squarely. He de-
sires to know if they "are willing to out down
[ the pay of members to the old per diem standard
of eight dollars; or failing in that, to what
would be fair compensation-say to fifteen
hundred dollars per annums 2"
Commenting on the fact stated by the FIRED
erioksburg Recorder" that members of the pres
ent Congress will get 800 day, exclusive OF
mileage, the Registers correspondent mentions
that "old Lieutenants in the Navy, gentlemen OF
accomplishments, refinement and education, are
compelled to go to sea and leave their families
to starve on mere pittance of some hundred
dollars year; and when these old veterans,
who have grown gray in the service of their
couatry, knock for aid at the door of Congress,
they are met by these seL.sacryieing q men,
bers with the plea of 'ecOaomy'"
He ridicules the cry of "retrenchment and re
form" made by these gentlemen, who yet refuse
to take the first and most necessary step toward
it by voluntarily declining one-half their pay,
which would still leave them $25 per day, aud
demands an answer to his question from all the
candidates before the people in this District
That's right. Bring them up to the notch, upon
this and many other questions involving the dear
est interests of the country. The people have a
right to demand full development of the opinions
of those who ask their SURFACES, and would
much prefer grave and sensible discussion of
important questions, to silly jokes and pointless
pleasantries. Many ofthem would pledge them
selves with the correspondent of the "Register"
to ignore any leanings they may have at present
and support any man of integrity and ability
who will answer his question in the affirmative.
Let US know then whether any one of the five
candidates before the people is willing to do
nothing for $25 day.
Since writing the above, DR.. A. M. Newman,
one of the candidates, has published card in
the Rockingham Register, in which he favors a
return to the old per diem-a position which he
had taken in his public speeches before the in
terrogatories were propounded.

Mhn is VIM. J.. Goggin z

The Democrats in some quarters profess no
to know who that distinguished Wing, VIM. l.
Goggin, is. AS it is presumed that man il
best known by those in whose midst he lives
we will let the Bedford Democrat respond to the
inquiry of those who pretend to such gross ig
norance. That paper says: "Mr. Gogsin is
most excellent gentleman. In the social circle
and in all the private relations of life, he is az
much respected by Bedford Democrats as Bed
ford Wings. If the fates have decreed that 6
Wing is to preside as chief Magistrate over the
destinies of this good old Democratic Common
wealth, he would be as acceptable to us as any
other member of his party. Mr. Goggin is al
far removed from the Democrats of Bedford II

antipodes in politics. They differ honestly, but
they differ widely and irreconcileably. They

feel few moro of his hard knocks before the
canvass is over

To Advertisers,

We earnestly request our advertising friends
to bring in their favors as long before the day Of
publication as possible. In nine cases out OF
ten, unless advertisements are received early
Monday morning, we cannot insert them with
out imposing more or less extra labor on the
hands in our office; and it sometimes happens
that this additional labor is very onerous. The
same remarks apply also to communications.
In this connection we take occasion to say
that when an individual contracts with US to
advertise any particular business by the year,
he has no right ito insert advertisements re-
ating to other matters without paying for it
specially. Nor can member of firm which
has a contract for advertising, publish, under
the contract, his own private business.
We beg leave to suggest most respectfully to
candidates for Office who have not paid for their
announcements in the Spectator, whether it
would not be best for them to settle up before
the election. We would not discourage any of
the aspirants, but it is true nevertheless that all
cannot be elected and it will be very embar-
RAISING to us to present an account to the de-
feated, and equally embarrassing to them to
have it thrust at them. Hereafter advance pay
ment will be expected in all such cases.

The Administration.

While the party press generally is engaged in
Wanting the glories of the Democracy, the
Washington States continues to expose the mis-
deeds and shortcomings of the present Demo
cratic Administration. In recent number it
says: "The people were induced to anticipate q
return to the simplicity and purity Of earlier
days ;-necer did corruption exhibit such rank
Iaruriaace Of groacIh in every departm6ntof The
public service. They were promised REFORM
they have an aggravation of abuse. They ex-
pected retrenchment-they are insulted by pro-
posals for the most absurd and mischievous APP
preparations. Millions have been expended for
the suppression of MormonisD, and the abomi-
nation hourishes with undiminished vigor and g
more audaclous ambition" So much for Dem
ocratic promises and performancesl

The Case of DIR. Downey.

The jury in this case not being able to agree
were discharged on Tuesday last. We learn thai
they were equally divided-six for acquittal, and
six for conviction of an offence punished by con
fnement in the Jail or Penitentiary. Judge
Kenney determined to change the venue tN
A,bemarle, and the next trial will take place il
Charlottesville on the 10th of May. Mr.. Doyle
the prisoners counsel, submitted motion fol-
bail, but while it was proved by physicians
that the health of the accused was greatly i'm
paired, it could not be traced directly to his con
iuement, and the Court felt compelled to deny

purpose of nominating candidate for the Sen

that they will not fail to hold meetings and ap
point delegates to the Convention. 1t would be
well for them at the same time, to take steps fol
the thorough organization of the Opposition fol
the Gubernatorial canvass. The right spirit
prevails among the gallant Wings aud Ameri

in like manner aroused in Bath and Highland.

DEDFORD, reU. lotn, 'ooo.
Gentlemen The nomination of myself, bJ
the State Convention, recently assembled IN the
city of Richmond, as the candidate selected fol
the Office of Governor, has been communicated
to me by your letter Of yesterday.
Such evidence of the respect of so large an as
semblage of my fellow citizens, from all parts O
the State, (still happily united as "The old DO

characterized such a body OF men assembled un
der such circumstances-as well as the klnt
terms in which you have been pleased to convey
to me the wishes of the Convention, OF which
you are the organ, have decided me to accept
as I do, the position which has been assigned t.
me.
In thus becoming o candidate for the highes
honor within the gift of the people, 1T Is no
without due regard to the responsibility ant
the arduous duties of the station | shall occupy
| shall endeavor, however, not to disappoint tht
expectations of those of my friends who know
me best-however others may be mistaken il
any over-estimate they may have made OF my
| fitness to conduct canvass in which 80 many
grave and important issues are involved-or II
any ability may possess, if elected, to NIL prop
istrate of the Commonwealth.
| shall be excused for saying that l am tn
friend of liberal system of Internal Improve
ment, including the Water and Railroad Lines
that ''the unfinished and reproductive condition
sin which they have been left to languish, de

the integrity and indivisibility of our own
well as the Union of all the States lis the sures

safest support of their peace and prosperity"
In the maintenance and cordial support
these views we may be led to hope that Their
will be harmony and concert of action among
the liberal and enlightened men of all parties
and that patriots will act in common cause re
gardless of the dctation of leaders. Every gen

should be ready to respond to the sentiment

as soon after the 4th of March as possibly Cal
make some necessary and indispensable arrange
