RICHMOND, July 13, 1859.

y
DEAR SIR thank you for yours of the
9th inst. have apprehended all along
that Tammany Regency would carry uni
ted delegation from New York to Charles
ton For whom? Douglas, know is con
fident; but you may rely on t that Mr..
Buchanan is himself candidate for re-
nomination, and all his patronage and
power will be used to dsappoint 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, we must still rely on a
united South. A united South will depend
on united Virginia, and pledge you that
she at least, shall be a unit. Virginia a
unit, and presistant and firm on a sound
platform of protection to all persons of
Popular versus S1uatter Sovrei gnty, she
must rally to her suppot all the South. The
South cannot adopt Mr. Douglass platform
It is a short cut to all the ends of Black
Republicanism. He then will kick up his
heels. Ifhe does or don't he can't be nom
mated; and the main argument against his
nomination is that he can't be elected If
nominated. If he runs, an independent
candidate, and Seward runs and | am nom
mated at Charleston, can beat them both
or if Squatter Sovereignty is rlank of
the platform at Charlest;on, and Douglas
is nominated, the South will run an inde-
pendent candidate on Protection princi-
pies, and run the election into the House
Where then would Mr.. Douglas be? The
luwest candidate on the list. IF | have
the popular strength you'supposed, it will
itself fix the nomination. Get that, and
| am confident Of success.
The Hon. +. Wood is professedly and, l
really believe friend and of course would
in good faith, be glad of his influence and
would do nothing to impair it and could
not Justly reject his kind aid; but you may
rely upon it that am neither complete
ly nor at all, in the hands Of Mr.. Wood or
any other man who breathes. He has al
ways been friendly to me, and am to him
but always on fair and Independent terms
There is nothing in our relations which
should keep aloof any friend of either
He knows as well as any one can tell him
that his main influence is in the City Of
New York, and l judge what you say Of
his country influence is correct But am
counting all the same without New York
and don't fear the result am depend
ing solely upon open position of principle
Independent Of all cliques, and defying all
comcrs We will overwhelm opposition
in Virginia, and her vote will be conserva-
tive and national.
At all events shall always be glad to
hear from you, and am yours truly,
HENRY A. WISE.

Pretty Good.

The Boston Ecening Gazette tells the
following abominable story of good old
Christian:
GA pious old gentleman, one of the salt
of the earth sort, went out iuto the field
to catch mare that he wanted to bear him
to town. He moved on the most approx
ed mode. He shook measure of corn at
her, to delude her into the belief that she
was to get it; but she was not to be deceiv-
ed by any such specious act. She would
come nigh and then dash off again, until
the good man was fretted very badly. At
last he got her into a corner among some
briers, and made dash at her, when she
bounded over the wall and left him spraw-
ling in the bushes. His Christian forti-
tude gave way at this, and gathering him
self up he cried 'Oh. hell The ejacula-
ton had passed his lips before he thought,
but becoming Immediately conscious ofits
wickedness, he added, 'lelujah !! and trans
lated the profane word into a note of
triumph"

CAMP FLOYD, L, T.,
Wednesday, June 29, ls59. |.


Wednesday, June 30, 1859. .
Deputy QuNrterrnaster-G General Geo. II. Crossman
has been ordered by the Secretary Of war to SELL at
Camp Floyd, U. H., on twenty days notice. 3, 900
mules, 500 wagons and 500 sets OF (six-mulc har-
ness.
Mr. B. Halliday or Holiday, of St. Louis, believe
sent out here at Government expense flor truth
Of which statement please refer to Quartermaster
at Fort Leyenwoth, Commanding officer at Fort
Kearney and Larmie, and to Col G. Ii. Crossman,)
by order Of the Secretary of War aud brought with
him the money to buy the mules considerable
length of time before the order was issued for the
sale of the mules. As no one in this Territory pos
sesses money enough to buy these mules except Mr..
Holiday and it requires at least 40 days TO bring
capitalists to Camp Floyd from Missouri or Califor-
mia, it is extremely pro able that Mr.. II. & Co. will
obtain these mules for about $50 per head when the
Government paid for them last year and year before
an average Of $l75 per head and If movement of
the army should occur they must be bought back
at any price The Secretary does not leave animals
enough to perform the ordinary duty. All the mules
which are to be sold are very fat and Of superior
quality.
The General Commanders aud Quartermastor-
General dcplore the loss which will befll the Cow
crnmcnt by this transactions, but the order Of the
Secretary Of War is peremptory and find rs far as
they are concerned, and nothing remains as a REM
edy except an appeal to public opinion.

A PARODY.

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
A few supplies keep up the flow
of dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight
When duns pour in from morn to night
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills arc arayed,
Each seal and signature displayed;
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats of "Law and ChAncery"
Then to despair we're almost driven
There's precious little use of livin'
When our last copper's rudely rivcn
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Lenth'ning our chin a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
'Tis so, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens-on ye brave
Who would our very beacon save:
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
And pay the printer cheerfully.
All! it would yield us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet
Asking of us clear receipt
For papers taken reg'larly.

THIS CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to no.
| thing but what it is, viz: pure and unadul-
terated article, and assuming no artificial merits
of what it is not as some of its rival imitators
do-after five years of pnblic approval and very
extensive sales in California, has been pronounc-
ed by the public to be superior, not only as
beverage of general use, to any other article
competing against it, but is
Unriyalicd in its Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaints. To persons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West North or South, who are constantly chang
ING their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking indeed, dozen kinds of water in every
twenty-four hours, and each draught containing
some property acting in chemical antagonism to
the preceding one, thereby causing an unusual
degree of excitement to the stomach-it is posi-
lively and absolutely necessary TO use a counter
acting agent. From the fact that the
eLoMfOm Club House Gili0
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies,
and to act as we know it will act rs an antidote,
we confidently prescribe it as the very best article
in the country. The name of "Aromatic Schei-
dam Schnappsr has never been attached in any
way to this c;ticle In first presenting the
"L0mdom Club House GinN
to the public. my aim was to give them pure
and unadulerated article of Gin, and to call it by
its right name. The success attending its intro
duction and extensive sale in California is sufi-
cient guarantee Of tho high appreciation Of the
article by consumers.

call "C}9J House Gin" My Gin which has
