81 Some Of the Virginia politicians who. u
was supposed. would favor Douglas. have been
forced By the outside pressure to declare against
him. Gov Wise and Mr.. Pryor, member Of
Congress, are among these. The Lynchburg
Republican, heretofore strong Douglas paper.
has hoisted the dag Of Breckinridgs and Lane.
Mr.. Glass, the editor. was delegate to the Bal
timore Convention. He withdrew from tho
original body, but took no part In the proceed
ings OF the one which nominated Breckinridge.

IaoS ron PEACH TaEp.-The scales OF iron
that accumulate around the anvil Of . black
smiths shop are more valuable than manure
for peach trees. A shovel full put round .
healthy peach tree will be very likely to Keep
Il In good condition; and Il Is said that trees
already diseased have recovered by the appli-
cation Of these scales. Iron In any form will
answer good purpose.
81 The New York Herald, in IN article on
- the Clashing Democracy" expresses tho
opinion that all attempts to effect fusion OF
the hostile camps will be fruitless, and winds
up with the following pleasing picture Of their
future prospects:-

the well.fsd supporters Of Breckinridge and The
balf-staryel followers Of Douglas. We fenr In

New JERSEY CONSERVATIVES ron LINCOLN.
The Baltimore Patriot says;
"a large number Of the conservative Demo
cratic and Opposition manufacturer, OF New
ark, New Jersey, whose trade with the couth
amounts to not less than hfteen millions year,
with the corruption OF Democrats
rule. have recently taken pains to ascertain Mr..
I.incoln's views Of public policy, by direct per.
sonal communication with him through one OF
their number; and they are 80 well satisfied OF
his conservatism and uprightness that they
have determined to support him Tor President.
~ In Greene county. Southern Illinois,
where Fremont only got 2i5 votes, at least
5000 people assembled last week to hear Rich.
ard Yates. the republican candidate for COVER
nor. and other good republican speakers. DR..
Alexander Shields, for twenty years demo-
cratic leader In Sangamon county, ILL.,, has
come out for Lincoln and Yates, and has taken
The stump. Central Illinois will vie with the
north in Lincoln majorities; and the southern
coOiies will send up very handsome vote.
