Virginia, replying TO a communication from some
Of his constituents requesting to know his views
on the Presidential election, has written letter
avowing his determination to give his support to

and manly defender of Southern rights"
We have intelligence from San Francisco to the
22d ultmo, but nothing later concerning the Ore
gon Senatorial election. 1t is said to be the inten-
| ton to elect Baker and Eesmith, whether a quo
rum can be got in the Senate or not AS the sen.

MAT. Intelgencer.
| Gen. Lane, the candidate for vicePresident on
the Breckinridge ticket, whilst making speech
| recently in Indiana was asked by some one in the
audience "What if Abe Lincoln should be elect
ed?r and he replied as follows:

keep right on battling for the principles OF the Ma

| Mr. Augustus Green, Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Second District in the State of New
Jersey, recently addressed meeting in Trenton IN
which he expressed some views likely to be deemed
in some parts of the country rather peculiar for
one styling himself (" Democrat He, in effect,
advocated tariff, homestead law railroad to
the Pacific, etc. He was also in favor of amend
ing the Fugitive Slave law SO as to incorporate o
trial by jury.
The Mount Sterling tKy.) Wing contains the re-
port of few remarks delivered by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge at owingsye, in that State, few days ago.
That journal remarks as follows
The speaking commenced by the Vice President,
who spoke for about half an hour. He said he had
been to the mountains and had addressed the
people. At this Douglas man asked him whether
he answered the Norfolk questions 2"-to which
he made no reply. He then went on in yindication
of his position on the slavery question and Of the
platform on which he stands. He closed amid the
| applause Of his friends
The Edgefeld Is. c. Advertiser is much dis
t gusted at the apparent anxiety of the Hon. Will
liam L. Yancey to exonerate himself from the sus
picion of being a g disunionist,i as though thai
epithet were term of reproach. To this effect Il
says:
But why should Mr. Yancey endeavor to figh
against the general conviction that he is a dis
unionist? 1t is the very thing that has given hin
strength in the present hour Of strife. It is Ger
tanly the cause why many South Carolinians hav,
thrown up their hats for him. Take away his dis
union strength, and Mr.. Yancey, it seems to us
| will bn barG qhn nj lil X
AT all events, we venture the assertion that ninety
nine hundreths of the disunionsts PEI, Sc at tn
South are perfectly satisfied with Mr.. Yancey's ex
tremisn. Is it not true that they believe him to b
the ruling spirit of approaching dissolution? Ant
If this estimate of him be correct is it not mucl
better and much wiser that he should drop mer
| warfare of policy and come out boldly for dsuniol
in certain contingencies?

| We regret that our space at the present time vii
not permit US to notice at length his able and fer
vent appeal to the citizens of Holmes in behalf O
Bell and Everett, and of the Constitution and tn
!. Union. 1t was q glorious speeth-one devoid Q
all sophistry-able, eloquent and argumentative
one that we would be pleased to see echoed in tn
ear of every secessionist in the county. The abb
and dgnifed address of Mr.. Brooke was in strik
ing contrast to the violent and abusive speeche
which many of our citizens have beenso copiousl
treated to during the past week by many OF tn

ernment. Lexington Advertiser, 9Th. .
THE RESULT IN THIS STATE.-We have the mos
cheering news from the result of the late count
elections. In every instance where party line
were drawn, the Union men triumphed. The D.
mocracy have been united in these county ele
tions, and the result looks very much like the Be
and Everett men have majority over both con
bined. In Atela Tishomngo, Yazoo, Marshal
and other counties, the Secessionists have been s
nay put to route. Roll on the ball. Let OIL
friends elsewhere be assured that alfs well in Mi

VI GREELEY EATING Pork AND BEAss.-"P Pink, 2 Il
New York correspondent of the Charleston Coz
e rier, writes the following
Having entered a favorite restaurant to G.
= lunch | found everybody staring in the same {
s. rection. Turning around, discovered that Horat
Greeley was sitting near me, eating his Dime
He had some pork and beans, potatoes and squas
newspaper was lying by his plate, and he
vided his time and attention between that and b
nd dinner, affecting to be unconscious OF anythir
else. Like all ll,bred people, Greeley feeds hiI
self with knife, considering the fork useless.
G judge from the manner in which everybot
watched the old white coated philosopher viii
he was feeding, should say that he was regard
as a greater curiosity than any monstrosty Ba
f mum ever had.
