Governor Wise on the Presidency

We publish below letter from Govern
or Wise of Virginia, written, as confden-
tial, to friend in New York We declin-
ed publishing it last week, thinking, with
out doubt. it was forgery. But as the
Governor acknowledges it, we give his ex-

DEAR Sir: THANK you for yours of the
sth instant. have apprehended all along
that the Tammany regency would carry
united delegation from New York to
Charleston. For whom Douglas, l
knotois confident but you may rely on it
that Mr.. Buchanan is himself candidate
for nomination, and all his patronage and
power will be used to disappoint Douglas
and all other aspirants. Our only chance
is to organize by districts, and either whip
the enemy or send two delegations.
If that is done or not done, we must still
rely on united South. A united South
will depend on a united Virginia. and |
pledge you that she, at least, shall be unit.
Virginia q unit, and persistent and firm on
sound platform OF protection to all per-
sons of popular VS. squatter sovereignty,
she must rally to her support all the South.
The South cannot adopt Mr.. Douglas plat
form. 1t is a short cut to all the ends OF
Black Republicanism. He then will kick
up his heels. If he does or don't he can
be nominated, and the main argument
against his nomination is that he cannot be
elected If nominated. If he runs as an in
dependent candidate, and Seward runs, and
l am nominated at Charleston, can beat
them both. Or, if squatter sovereignty is
plank of the platform at Charleston, and
Douglas is nominated, the South will run
an independent candidate on protection
principles, and run the election into tn.
House. Where, then. would Mr.. Doug glas
be? The lowest candidate on the list. II

ana AGiuneeofn.


We extract from our railroad exchanges
the following statements Of the amount Of
bonds issued to the railroads Of these Aour.
ishing States. It 10 well known that the
policy Of Missouri towards her railroaas
has contributed more than all other causes
combined to advance her population and
wealth. Minnesota. b. pursuing the same
course. is making rapid strides in an ND
ward and onward direction, and viii soon
leave US behind as every State in the Union
has done. AT the proper time, we expect
to advocate the adoption of similar poll
ey in Arkansas. The neglect of our last
Legislature to grant to our railroads the
loan OF her credit. has seriously retarded the
progress of the State. There is no West
ern State SO well able to pursue liberal
policy towards her works of internal i'm.
provement, and at the same time SO dilatory
in its adoption
HAnaoADs IN sMrssouE.-Missouri has loaned her
credit to her railroads to the extent Of $40 Ol 900
and has agreed to issue bonds to the further amount
Of 4,S49 700. This we learn from the Auditors re-
port under The date July 18th. The table below
exhibits the amount Of credit granted to each road

IMPROVED COMBINED
THRESHER AND MIilNOvgER.

FNNllE most convenient, portable, easily work
a ed. and perfectly operating machine for
threshing, separating and winnowing wheat,
rye and oats, now in use. Though compare
lively but little known here there are about
400 OF them in use in other grain growing
districts, all giving entire satisfaction.
II is the machine (but much improred) that
obtained the First Premium ut the Montgom-
cry County Fair 1.-THE exhibition in'ls55, and
elected universal appreciation and wherever
exhibited at workingtest in competition with
others has always taken the Premium.
The two-horse machine cleans in the best
manner ready for market, with or hands,
from $50 TO 200 bushels of wheat per day, and
the one-horse from 20 to 100 bushels; occupies
but little space; is easily moved from stack to
stack and readily put up.
For Farmers who raise from 500 to 1000
bushels of wheatand who prefer to do their
work with their own force, no other machine
is so desirable.
This machine is ,carranted to give entire sat
