one Of whom asked the amount of tax on L

to get the tax duplicate, when suddenly 4
large shawl was thrown over his head, his

floor. He was instantly gagged; his arms
tied behind him with cord his logs also

painful condition for long time before he
could work the gag from his mouth. When
he did, he commenced hallooing for help,
but people were generally in bed, and 1t was
near o'clock when he was heard by Hiram
TAYLOR, who aroused the Sheriff, and, break

seems anxious for Convention is the county of
Rockbridgc. II any Congressional asprant up
that way entertain. lingering hope that Con
vcntion might possibly compromise upon n Rock

his mind such delusive phantom. Rockbrdge
has had the representative for hceHty years, and
that county must take back seat for the next fifty
years. We hope they vii! take things easy up that
way. aud submit like philosophers to their fate.
The R"ckhrdge Democracy will subserye the in
ierestS of the party in greater degree if they de-
Sst from agtating the subject of II Convention.

4 meeting Of the Democracy of Augusta
County. was held at the Courthouse, on Mon
day last, for the purpose Of considering the
propriety of recommending Il Convention in
this Congressional District, to rule off all but
one. or perhaps all. of the gentlemen who
are announced as candidates. As n matter
of course il was Il time that tried the souls
of the candidates. and though silent, they
We're the most deeply anxious individuals in
the crowd. The meeting was presided over
by that veteran Democrat, Jacob Baylor,
esq. who during the course Of the proceed
ingS resigned the chair to Col Anderson,
and made an earnest speech in behalf of the
policy Of holding a Convention. Col. Bay
Tor and Absalom homer esq.. took the same
view of the matter, while Capt. HILL and
Capt. John \. lIarman, thought no danger
was to be apprehendcd from the Opposition,
and advocated Il free tight. Captain Hill did
not believe that any gentleman of the Oppo-
>ition would take advantage of the Democ-
racy and that such course would be dis
reputable. The chairman thought differently;
and that the Opposition would be justified in
slipping in man if they could. The Demo-
Gratis would do it if they had II chance, and
he considered his own party rs pure rs the
Opposition. Various and sundry PROPOSE
tons were made, until things got into a COM

vailed, in the midst of general good humor-

however it was concluded to postpone the
consideration of the matter until Febru-

in freezing winter time, do it in hurry
if there is no fire in the room, and there ought
not 10 be unless you are quite an invalid. But
if person is not in good health, it is best to

WELL draw on the stockings again, run into
room without a fire, jump into bed bundle up
with head and ears under cover for minute
or more, until you feel little warmth; then
uncover your head next draw off your stock
ings. Straightcn out, turn over on your right
side. and go to sleep. If IA sense Of chilliness
comes over you on getting into bed, it will
always do you an injury; and its repetition
increases the ill-efects without having any
tendency to harden you. Nature ever alb

In the course of a Lecture on Comets, deliv-
cred in New York, by that eminent Astrono-
mer, Prof. Mitchell, he said:-"Comets are a
mystery We simply know nothing about
them. In speaking of the appearance of
these nebular bodies, Prof. Mitchell confessed
that he was disposed to receive the nebulous
hypothesis as presenting the most satisfacto-
ry way of accounting for the cosmography of
the universe. 1t was no atheistieal idea, but
the greatest that ever filled the human mind.
| do not say positively this hypothesis is true,
but announce here to night that the evil
dence in favor of it, is stronger than was

ton at the time of Newton's death"

Speaking of the conviction of Crops and
Corrie, for murder, the Baltimore Patriot
says :-"As is usual in such cases, motion
may be made for a new trial, without, how
ever, any hope of obtaining it. After the
proper time has elapsed, both Crops and
Corrie will be brought out, sentenced, and
remanded to Baltimore Jail to await their
death warrants and the extreme penalty of
the Law, in expiration of the terrible crime
of which they now stand convicted. We
cannot but hope justice has been fairly
meted out, and, with the entire community,
must think it right, that dread retribution
is likely to overtake offenders so reckless and
inhuman."

The New York correspondent of the Ma
tonal lntelligencer says that 1.-THE friends of
"a free and unfettered commerce" have
been somewhat puzzled to reconcile certain
Inconsistencies of our public men. We had
spent years of diplomacy in getting rid of
the Danish Sound dues rs an odious shackle
upon commerce. and we have just achieved
the gratifying concession from China and
Japan of open seas and liberal commercial
intercourse. The gratulations of our people
have not yet died upon the public ear before
we hear the extraordinary doctrine proclaim
ed in both Houses of Congress that the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean sea ought to be mare clausun-a
closed sea! Is this the sort of progress
which our civilization would inculcate and
enforce"

In the course of a speech in the Senate,
on Wednesday, on the Pacific Railroad bill,
Mr.. Bell, of Tenn, remarked on the singu-
lar fact, that those who doubt the propriety of
building Pacific Railroad. because of their
constitutional scruples, unconsciously adopt
in advocating the acquisition of Cuba, the
same line of argument which is held to be
SO unsound when urged by the friends Of the
railroad. If it was lawful and proper to ac-
quire Cuba because that Island was necessa-
nv to the military detences and commercial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the country, why was it
inadmissiblc to employ the same reasons in
advocacy of the Pacific Railroad?
