Tho pemocrnrie onndIaates.

The bOas!ing National Democracy have
been driven to the most pitiful straits for can
didates to pit against the frm Republican
phalanx who have followed with unbrOken
tread their chosen and noble leader, John
Sherman. The Democrats started of under
BocOck, but could only bring him up TO S.
Then they tried all sorts Of diokering with
the Know Nothings-drOpped BOcOck and
took up Boteler, dropped BOteler and took up
MillsOn, dropped MillsOn and took up No
Clernand, dropped MeClernand and took up
Scott, dropped Scott and took up Vallandig-
ham, dropped Vallandigham and took up
Hamilton, dropped Hamilton and came back
to BOcock again, and lastly dropped BOeOCk
and took up Smith, an out and out Whig and
Know Nothing from North Carolina. Who
next?
To show how the Northern Democrats in
Washington consOrt with and vote for Dis
uuiOnists, the case of Mr.. Hamilton, their
Texas candidate for Speaker, is in point. Mr..
Davis, of Indiana, nominated Mr.. Hamilton.
The Democrats gave him their votes, but on
the 26ih inst some who had been voting for
Mr.. Hamilton were startled by his announce
ment that he believed that the Union was now
being dissolved, and that the State of Texas
had appropriated $4,000 to pay expenses Of
himself and colleagues to continue the present
disorganized condition of the Housel The

The Free sOutb--sult for Damages.

Mr.. Bailey, the proprietor of the Free South
newspaper crushed out by the pro slavery mob
at Newport, KY, has commenced suit in the
Circuit Court against the parties engaged in
illustrating Kentucky regard for the liberty Of
the press, laying his damages at $4,000. He
should recover the full amount claimed, as the
defendants who destroyed his establishment in
spite of the pleadingsand defence of an old man
and his printer daughters, are men Of property
and former respectable standing in Newport =
The outrage was most fagrant, and reduced an
industrious family to poverty.

Cost ftho war-.Yirrinia ArminE.


Gov. Wise is out Of OfSoe, but his works fol-
low him. The Legislature of Virginia has
passed bill appropriating $4,000 towards
paying the expenses Of the John Brown wal,
which Gov. Vice 50 mangnifed and covered
with ehivalric glory. The bill appoints the
Secretary, Auditor and Attorney General Of
the State a Board, to audit the claims and is
sue warrants 10 be paid by the Auditor. The
claims of all General stat, and field officers,
and all railroad companies, are to be reported
to the Legislature for the action Of that body.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars is
getting out pretty cheap, considering the size
of the panic This IS not the only war appro-
priatiOn. The State Of Virginia is to be
permanently put under arms, to meet the COR
tingency Gov. Wise and Gov. Letsher have
fOreshadOWed in the event of the election of a
Republican President On the recommends
ton Of both Governors, the Virginia Legisla-
ture has passed a bill authorizing loan of
half million of dollars for the purchase Of
arms and munitions Of war. The public ar
mory at Richmond is to be put in complete
order, and master armorer employed at a
salary Of s., 500. The Governor is authorized
to purchase all materials and munitions and
patent rights in newly invented arms, that
may be necessary for the armOry. The Rich
mOnd Enquirer approves the arming of the
State, and declares shat it will exert a most
happy influence in convincing our enemies
that Virginia is in earnest in standing
up for her rights" q 81
A like appropriation to establish public
schools in which young Virginia could be
taught to read and write, would exert still
more happy influence on the destinyOf the
Old Dominion.

HARVEST, AND THE PRosPECT.-The wheat
harvest has fairly commenced in this coun-
ty. The greater part of it will be cut next
week. The crop is very light and is esti-
mated by the farmers at about one fourth of
an average. There are, however, many
good pieces in the county. Oats never
looked better at this season, and doubtless,
will yield abundantly. Grass, as general
thing, is good, and the hay crop will be
over an average. Corn is first rate--there
is but one report about it, and that is, that
if the season continues favorable, there will
he more bushels of corn raised in this coun-
ty than ever before in one season. Fruit of
all kinds is abundant. Should nothing in
terfere to blast the present anticipations OF
our farmers, they will be amply rewarded
for the years toll, Notwithstanding the fail
IRE in wheat Tin. Gdz.

The JournaI.-Our Extra.

On Saturday night, late, we commenced
getting highly important dispatches in rela-
ton to the two Democratic Conventions at
Baltimore. We had inothe afternoon receiv-
ed intimations by telegraph that Douglas
was nominated, and that the Seceders Con-
vention had met, but had nothing sufficient
" definite, else we should have issued an
Extra before dark, and thus relieved the
mental agony of our Democratic friends
and the curiosity of the public in general
Our faithful and accommodating friends
of the Telegraph ofice-RoBINsoN and
ELLswoRTH-gaye us the news thick and
fast until long after midnight, and our in
dustrious and indefatigable compositors put
it in type, az rapidly as it came. When the
"matter" set up, was all corrected, our
mechanical partner made it up in
Extra form in double quick time, and be-
fore daylight We had the interesting sheets
posted up and distributed in various public
places for the benefit of anxious inquirers.
1t is useless to say, that we were ahead
of all competitors. We have such con-
tract with the Associated Press that no
other paper in the city can give the tele-
graphic news the next morning after ittrans-
pires without our consent. This contract
extends nearly year-through the CAM
paign, and until after the close of the next
session of Congress and of our State Legis-
lature, embracing period pregnant with
stirring events.
So it will be seen that we present in
ducements to subscribers such as no Other
newspaper can The Journal is able tC
give the people of this vicinity the news
sooner than any other paper cen do so by
any possibility. ~,
We think that an examination of on
columns-of our local, commercial, river
political, and literary departments-wil
convince any one that we are up scih hf
times all through our paper. We know tina
we shall spare no effort in trying to be.
il lies in our power to make it so, the jour
nal shall be entirely worthy the fame 0
the enterprising city which sustains it.
