The Election.

The election in Williamsburg District, for
a member of the Legislature, was held on
Monday aud Tuesday of last week, DR.. j..
S. BRoCErNrnS. anti-Bluc Ridge, has been
elected, receiving three hundred and six
votes. The Kingstrcc Star, in an article on
tho Road, says: Even ifthc next Lcgisla-
turc should withhold aid, we will not consi.
der tho project abandoned. In 1860 there
will be general election in the State, and
the Blue Ridge question will be made an is
sue. The friends of the Road will then PM
the matter before the people in it's true light
and we have little fears of its success.

The Marine School.

We have before us Fan appeal in behalf
of the Marine School, under the care of the
Charleston Port Society,"" located in that
city. The necessity for such School is so
apparent that VIC need to say nothing on
that point. The little pamphlet before U.S.
however, examines the subject thoroughly
and arrives at a very satisfactory conclusion.
These schools arc on slip-board, designed for
the benefit of sailor boys; and any gratuity
or charity that may be extended to them
will be properly applied, and justly apprc-
ciated. Rcmittanccs may be made to Mr..

A Book of Fun.

SmILLADER, of the Boston press, is on the
eve of issuing new volume of Mrs. Part
i"gton's sharp'and dull witticisms. His first
book, of tho same character, had an immense
sale; but why, we never could imagine. 1T
was peculiarly nonscnsical, but we suppose
it was not discovered until it had had its
run. The new candidate for popular favor
is nourishingly announced, and another
"succcss" is predicted. Perhaps it may be
so, as humbugs seem to be tho order IF the
day.
This is our answer to the over modest re.
quest contained in Boston paper, mailed
to us in a "yallcr kivcr," for iirst-rato no.

The Presidency.

The canvass for the Presidential election,
which is to be held in 1860, has already com
mcnccd. The democrats are surrounded by
circumstances not very encouraging. and
there are some in the party who prclict its
carly dissolution. But this is by no means
certain. Should it fall to the ground, new
party, embracing its principles, will be form
cd Senator DoUGLAs and Gov. WISE. of Va.
are made prominent for tho position by por-
ton of the press of the democratic party, the
latter gentleman being tho most popular and
available man of tho two. It is very unccr-
tain however, who will he nominated, and
perhaps there exists a greater uncertainty as
to whether or not the nominee can be sue
ecssfnl. The South should only enter the
Charleston convention on high ground, main
tain it at all hazards, and insist upon the Sc
lection of true and reliable men. But this
Is long in advance of any action than can be
had on the subject, and, as moderation" is
she watchword in certain quarters, tho anti
quated "watch and wait" policy may not bo
inappropriate now. The times, however, arc
not tcmporising in their character.

liberal patronage from a generous public
In consequence Of the situation Of our Ware

great necessity for Insurance.
The old established firms Of &C. Byram &
