Among the intestine troubles of the Vir-
ginia democratic camp is feud which has
just broken out in the district represented in
the late Congress by Mr. Faulkner. The
Clarke county Journal, a democratic paper
of said district has hoisted the name of Mr..
Hunter for the Presidency. Mr.. Letcher for
Governor, and is firing hot shot against Mr..
Faulkner, the regular democratic nominee
for Congress, Gov. Wise Douglas, and all
concerned. An anti-Faulkner democratic
movement has been started in the district;
but the Richmond Enquirer, though somewhat
distressed about it, says it will not amount to
anything being dictated by motives OF mere
personal hostility" We think, however, that
this detection, and the presence of a rival
democratic candidate for Congress to Extra
William Smith in his district, and some other
democratic disturbances, here and there and
everywhere in Virginia, afford good deal OF
solid encouragement to the new opposition
party. Accordingly we may expect some very
surprising results in the May election of that
State. That hosting of the flag of Hunter
in Clarke shows where the shoe pinches at
Richmond. where Gov. Wise rules the camp

Skirts for the Queen and Empress.

1t may surprise our readers to learn
that the celebrated skirt manufacturers, W.
s. and c. II. Thomson. are now making for
Queen Victoria and the Empress Eugene an
assortment of their indestructible skirts. which
for lightness, durability, and exquisitencss of
design, may fairly be termed marvels Of
beauty Will not Amaryllis, and MusidOra,
and indeed. all the charming and fashionable
gentlewomen who walk in Broadway, envy
the Queen of England and the Empress of the
French their arrayal in these elegent fabrics?
Perhaps so-but then Messrs. Thomson are
now making fdc-siMiles of these durable court
skirts for the qualification and use of Ameri-
can ladies. How delighted they will be to
wear them! The speciality of these elegant
skirts-which. by the way are formed OF silk
and steel-consisIs in the ''eyelet fastening"
very great improvement upon the old
methods of slides and elastic bands, both OF
which were insecure and liable to get out OF
order; but with the new fastening the displac-
ing of the hoops is rendered impossible, while
the ''outs and ms of crinolin,' comprising the
getting into and out of stages, the passing
through narrow pew doors and crowded
throughfares, made both easy and
pleasant, and unaccOmpanied by a fear on
the part of the wearers that their hoops re-

Fearful Maritime Drama-Massacre
M 900 Men.

The Courier des Etats Unis gives long
statement of the loss of the ship ST. Paul,
and the massacre of three hundred and thirty
persons on board, both sailors and passengers.
The news was reeeiy ed by the last European
mails.
The st. Peul, Capt Pinard, is vessel of
Marion d Co., of Havre, and was making at
the time of her loss, voyage from China to
Australia. with a load of Chinese emigrants.
1t was on one of the numerous islands of
the Louisiade Archipelago that the vessel was
lost A-t
The Louisiade Archipelago is an extensive
group of islands in the South Pacific, COM
prised between the parallels of 10 deg. 40
min. and IL deg. 40 min. south latitude, and
the meridians of $50 deg. and 154 deg. 80
min. east longitude.
The wreck took place on the i of Septen-
I Der. but the passengers escaped from this
peril, and an English vessel was hailed. 1t
was too small to carry away all the unfor-
tunates, and three hundred and thirty were
| left till word was taken to Sidney, and ano-
Their vessel sent to their relief.
This relief expedition arrived at the place
| in December or January. and found that of
| the three hundred and thirty individuals. but
one-a Chinaman-had been saved, all the
others having been massacred by the savages
amid the most frightful tOrtures. These are
all the particulars given.
This statement in the Courier is fortified
by letters from Capt. Pinard, of the Saint
Paul, informing the owners of the vessel Of
| these acts, and may therefore, we suppose, be
| considered as reliable.
