Virginia Legislature of both houses, in
Guiding Mr.. Bocock, in which this very
doctrine of an irrepressible conflict is

loudly at the same time, causing much
confusion
Mr. Pryor said that the gentleman
should not, under hypocritical and
false pretense, inject speech in the body

ST. LOUIS, Dec. %, 1859.
AZ special dispatch to the Democrat,
from Bolivar, Missouri, states that on
Monday night gang of negroes made a
sudden and desperate attack upon a few
white men, at that place, with rocks, &C.
The latter boldly resisted the assaultand
drove the negroes to the woods Fire
arms were freely used on both sides.
The blacks, after being driven back,
threatened to burn the town, but vigi-'
liant watch was established, foiling all at
tempts in that direction One negro was
dangerously wounded, and several were
arrested. A vigilance committee was
appointed to ascertain thenames of those
engaged in the riot, and arrest them.
A mounted company was promptly or
ganized,, and proceeded to the woods in
search of the rioters Such of them as
were arrested were summarily dealt with,
l'and severely punished The greatest
excitement prevailed, and every white
man in the neighborhood was under arms,
but the blacks having been conquered,
the excitement yesterday was subsiding.

Ladies Turning Mail Robbers,

A St. Johns N. f.. correspondent
furnishes Us with the following particu-
lars of a remarkable and systematic mail
robbery which has just been brought to
lightin that city. Itappears that money
letters have often disappeared Of late,
among Others letter mailed by an editor
from st. Johns to Conception Bay. The
editor, finding that the Post Office au,
thorities would not properly investigate
the matter, appealed to the Governor.
who Immediately ordered an inquiry:
which has resulted in some extraordinary
developments. 1t seems that Mrs. aud
Miss Shea (wife and daughter Of the
chief clerk in the Post Office the Post
master.G General being absent in England,
the chief clerk had charge Of the ofice),
aud two servant girls who lived with
them, made a practice Of opening thelet-
tiers whenever they wanted money
and appropriating the contents. If they
found bills Of exchange or foreign notes,
they destroyed them. In one case q
widow woman named Woods met with
serious loss. Some of her friends in
England sent her ESQ Bank OF ENGLAND
note. Mrs. Shea not being able to pass
it, burnt it. Numerous other cases have
come to light. The discovery created
great excitement, the parties implicated
being related to come of the high Govern
ment officials. The four females are i'm,
prisoned in the Penitentiary, awaiting
their trial.
