CAPTAIN HENRI A. De Rrv1ERE whose victo-
ries in love more accredited than his achieve
ments in war, was ANONYMOUSLY sold out in
Jersey City, on Friday, by order of the Hudson
County Court. DaguerreOtyyes, saddle, bride,
sheath, even the sword which is said to have
led invincible Zouaves in many charges at Sc,
bastopo, were struck off with hammer to pay
charges in which his part is unquestioned.-
Even the coat, breaches, and sBors of the gall
liant captain shared the same fate; and the preci-
Gus relics of his conquests in the service of
Venus and Mars, went for the pitiful sum Of
fifty dollars.

The New York Post, in speaking of the radi-
cal course Of Richard Golden, who was here in
Wheeling some three or four months ago, saws:
without any modification of his principles.
an iota Of concession in his practice, without
intrigue or solicitation, during his absence from
England, he has been placed in the ranks of a
ministry which probably combines a larger
amount of force and ability than has ever been
brought together since the days of all the tall
ents.' With such cabinet in England, and n
French army formally and sollemly committed
to tho vindication of the freedom of foreign
and oppressed people, we think it can hardly be
said the world is making no progress"

IT is proposed in Philadelphia, to tax the In
surance Companies some $4,000 for the water
used in extinguishing fires. The reason for
this is, that the city pays $4,000 annually to
fire companies, while all the property belonging
to the city is insu.ed-thus making the insu-
rance companies gamers by this expenditure
They wish to keep the accounts balanced.

reason 10 believe he is elected, his achieve
ment in reducing the BUCHANAN majority

agreeabiy disappointed. We have been a
believer in the fact that "Old Virginia never

the imbricated sins of modern BUCHANAN

slice 1856 has been scarcely paralleled in the
South. We have had nothing like it for years.
And we are deceived if similar results shall
not be manifested in the elections now pend
lug in Kentucky and Tennessee. The incor-
rupGble masses of the people are evidently
sick and tired of the misrue of the party in
power. They are revolving at the misdeeds
and increased exactions of their leaders, and
are determined to bring their guilty necks to
the block. We say to our friends there is
everything to cheer and encourage us in the
result in Virginia.

would in turn distribute our manufactures
over the world. Thus we should go on. buy

fashion way. while our opponents were suffer
ing exhaustion under the effects of financial
misnanagement, commercial prohibitions,
and the depressing Influence OF subscriptions.
1t will be urged, perhaps. that in the event
of all our ports being blockaded. even the
American marine could then be of no service
TO us; but that is n contingency which few
Emglisbmen will think it necessary to dis
cuss.
Such a course would soon make that power
party to the quarrel. But it may yet be
said that, although the inviolability of neutral
vessels was so recently affirmed by France,
Russia, Sardinia, Austria and Turkey, as
well as by this country, the three powers may
if it should suit their purposes. disclaim it
with as little scruple as they have lately
shown in stultifying their decisions al the
same Congress, regarding the Danubian prin-
CAPABILITIES. There is no room for any such
apprehension. Those who attempt to set
aside the new principle must do so at the
peril of immediate war with the United States.
1t is matter On which the Washington
Government will entertain no question. and
the first interference with an American
vessel would be followed by an instant de-
mand for satisfaction. Happily, therefore,
the bearings of the case are now entirely
Independent of the wishes or decisions of the

the progress of civilization, to have been
shorn of nearly all its terrors.

III The sham Democracy anne

fS The sham Democracy appear to have
had some trouble about getting a suitable
candidate for the State Senate in the Hen
derson district. STEPHEN L. Ross, the late
Senator, was first pitched upon, but he de-
clined. Mr.. MICKEY, of Humphreys, was
therefore chosen, but was summarily kicked
off again. The Jackson Wing states his case
thus:
Poor Mickely's case is a hard one We I'M
derstand that a Senatorial Democratic Con-
venton was held at Camden two or three
weeks since, and the delegates in attendance
having been advised that Mr.. Ross the old
Senator, would not accept a nomination, pro-
cecded to nominate MIR. Mickey, of Humph-
reys county, as the democratic candidate,
and then adjourned. After going out OF the
court house they learned from several demo-
Gratis in town that the nominee would not get
the full vote Of the democratic party, so the
delegates re-assembed the Convention and
,!nnominated Mr.. Mickey and selected Mr..
Ross, the old member. They sent Mr.. Ross
word to meet them at Lexington on given
day when they hoped to press him SO hard
that he would iorcgo his determination to de-
cline and accept the appointment. Some of
the faithful met at Lexington, but Ross did
not appear in person; he. however, sent let
ter to the Committee, positively declining.
So the brethren left, satisfied that they bad
got things into a terrible fix" The next
we hear of the nominating committee is at
Decaturville, (by what authority they as
sembled there we have not learned) where
they proceeded TO nominate Mr.. Griffin Ross,
a brother of the old member! We have not
heard whether he accepts or declines. But,
poor Mickey! we are almost ready to shed
tears Tor laugh One) at his hard case.

The London Times of the I4th received to-
day, by the Asia, in its city article. has the
following remarks upon the possible effects
of the war upon the commerce of England, in
the event Of that power being involved in
hostilities. The most important question in
connection with the possibility OF England
finding herself involved in war. IL: what effect
will il have upon our commerce! In the old
war with France, the suspicion OF our mari
time supremacy would al any moment. have
sealed our ruin; aud ihe grand effort OF Ma
poleon was TO acquire European combina-
iion such as should exclude Us from every
port So long as the profits OF our enormous
trade remain undlsturbed, We are sure To tire
out oar opponents IN every struggle. May
we count upon being able now. as heretofore,
TO secure that result! Many, looking at The
fact that the French fleet Is alleged, in num-
Der aud power Of guns, to be superior 10 our
own, aud contemplating the possibility Of Us
being aided by thai Of Russia, are disposed
TO entertain misgivings. But, these persons
omit To recognize the alterations effected by
the lapse OF = generation ia The international
maritime law. Under no conceivable circam-
stances Of temporary, or even Of prolonged
disaster could our general commerce now
be interfered With. We might, Tor a time.
lose our carrying trade. but that is the VI
most injury that could be Inflicted npon Us.
The doctrine, accepted during the Russian
war, aud subsequently, coafiTm,d by the Paris
Congress, that free ships make free caFgoes,
has settled this point definitely.
