AN HONEST CoNFEssIoN.-Senator Toombs
with all his errors, is a bold man, and sometimes
says what is not agreeable to his political associ
ates. In his late speech on the revenue ques.
ton, he thus spoke OF the wastefulness of the
National Administration
"Your appropriations for navy yards have
gone to the building of houses for officers and
the making of flower pots and all that sort o.
thing, at the cost of $2,OOO,OOO and it will be
no less as long as you viii pay it, but will go up
to $4,000,000, if you do not stop it. There ;, are

IMPORTANCE OF THE OoNrEsr.-The New York

IMPORTANCE OF THE OoNTEsT.-The New York
Herald says, in late issue:
ITO the country at large the Importance Of
this Virginia election, as well as the contest In
Kentucky, and several other States where the
opposition is being organized, can hardly De
overrated. If the opposition in Virginia should
wIu-and they have some chances for victory
or if they should make such a gain as to show
that the Generalization and disintegration OF
the democracy is understood and condemned by
the masses of the people, there will be grand
opening for the formation of constitutional
party on broad national grounds, aud with
fair chance tor success in 1850 at the same
time the black republicans and abolition fanatics
of the North aoiU recsipe a 6lOW from achieh they
Saay nsuer recouer. The Virginia election is
really the opening of the Presidential campaign
and its result will be looked for with degree
of interest second only to that of the great event
itself"

AN AMERICAN EDITOR AND AN ENGLlsh
Pa1Nce.-The editor of the Utica Herald VINO
is travelling in Africa, recently visited the rulns
of Carthage, and in letter to his paper, ua'eu
Tunis, January 9th, relates the following:
awhile was examining these vast reiics OF
the past. my meditations were disturbed 0y Tue
arrival of young Prince Alfred OF England, ana
a lot of rolioking lieutenants and mldshlpmen,
whose ship was lying at anchor in the Bay OF
Tuns. Travel is great leveller, and su-
blimely condecended to treat this beardess sprig
of royalty with just as much respect as If he
hadn't been q mere second son of Queen, or
sn honorary member of the John Browns Fishing
Association. As happened to know good
deal more about the ruins OF Carthage than el'
Their his Royal Highness or any of his compan-
ions, played the part of cicero tor the party.
As may not have occasion to refer to him or
his again, may state that Prince Alfred is
quite pretty boy, small and trail for his age,
which is fifteen, and apparently modest ana IN
telligent He had lots of questions to ask ABOUT
America, and said he would like hugely to visit
it. Whereupon | appointed myself committee
of one on Reception of Distinguished Strangers,
and pledged him salute of thirty guns from
the gallant Forty fifth besides an enrolment
in the ranks of the Walton Fishing Club should
he visit us. l am told by one of his brother
officers that he is really popular among his
shipmates and is not particularly disposed to take
advantage of his station. The other day ne
called one of the mates an old fool for which
piece of impotence he got box on the ear that
sent him Keeling and blubbering to his cabin
He complained to his servant, (who is MAJOR
of high standing in the army0 but no notice was
taken of the matter"
