Ex-Governor Wise,

E1sNOPernoT Wise.
Numerous enquiries have been pouring in
upon us during the last few weeks, all desiring
to know when Ex.Gov. Wise will appear on the
hustngs, to give battle to Know. Nothingism
and Free .Soilsm in Virginia.
We are authorized to state, that hitherto
Gov. Wise has been detained at home unavoid-
ably and much to his own regret; and that for
the present, and most probably for some weeks
to come, he is still compelled to remain at
home. The i'll health Of n member Of his
family, at present forbids his leaving home for
day. He is constantly engaged in superin.
tending the enclosing, ditchng, clearing, sub.
DUNG and planting, Of 4 plantation which ne
has purchased and settled on during the pnst
twelve months, and which must be attended to
at ence to prevent serious loss. He is now even
without suitable house for the residence Of
his family during the winter, and hence il un-
der heavy pressure to complete his buildings
before frost. His head workman, too, is now
lying PROSTATE in the hands Of his physician
leaving the Governor 10 superntend everything
in person Besides. his own health has not
been good during the greater part OF the suu,.
mer; and he has had no leisure nor opportunity
to make the preparation requisite for an eTec-
tive tour on the hustings.
So soon as he possibly can, Gov. Wise
will take the stump and throw ull his energies
into the contest.
In the meantime, w: take occasion to remind
those OF our fellow. Democrats, who seem i'm
patient at this delay, that Governor Wise has
just been released from nearly five years of
uninterrupted and arduous service to the State
and the party He has already worked more
and sacrificed more than any two men in the
State-and he owes it now to others as we'll as
to himself that he should not altogether neg
lect the long arrear Of private duties and in
terests which have accumulated on his hands.
Moreover, even while precluded from the
stump, Governor Wise is not and has not been
neglcctful Of his duties to the party. If his
tongue has been silent, his pen has been busy.
His leisure moments have been continually
employed in correspondence, and he has scat
tered already from Maine TO Texas number OF
LETTERS published and unpublished, which
will equal perhaps, i'll volume and effect oil
the labor OF the most active canvaSser who
has yet taken the stump in Virginia during
the present catnpaig gn.

The Thinkers.

On Thursday evening last was consuminated
the long talked Of carefully prepared, and
earnestly striven for "6ell" demonstration,
with which our Know.Nolhing fellow-citizens
have been promising for the past month to
"astonish the natives"
"rhe "procession" was the ehcf deu're. -
This consisted of considerable number OF
men, and very large number OF small boys
marching in very open order-so as to stretch
the line is far as possible. The ''transparen-
cies" were none of them remarkable for artistic
tastc-fcw even for size all of cheap construc-
,iou-rnanv with rough inscriptions scarcely
legible-and not few so very dingy as TO be
not only devoid of Transparency, but scarcely
translucent. The most remarkable was one
supported ON pole fixed in an open carriage.
1t was frequently mistaken fora broad traVesty
Of ample rrinrliuc-until a near inspection oi
the motto and device revealed the fact that this
too, was intended to represent "6eu. Many
spectators slrcwdly surnised that it was IN
tended as waggish reference to the absurd re-
port tha, the great Dumb Bell himself 'S"nder
petticoat government.
An attcmpt was also male ut display ol
fire works-but this waI not clual IN glory to
the transpnrencics.
However deficient in light aud brilliancy
were the transparent counterfcitS Of the Dumb
Bell, nouc can deny that very large number
OF iona Hic tinklers made night hideons with
discordant Standardization There wns no
end Of cow.bells, sleigh.bclls, hand'bells, din,
ner.bells, &c, &C., tinkling down the entire
line, with an evident intention to'''ring in.
After the procession had paraded street after
street to the complete astonishment OF all the
nircers. nursery-maids and small children oi
the metropolis, all hands proceeded to the taoer-
nacle, lodge, or wiswarn, to hold pow-~o~-
Which of the orators for the evening there
pcrsonated dumb bells, and which tinklers we
are unable 10 say Our reporter was unable to
squeeze in. From the indications of yesterday,
it seems that most Of the energies Of the Op:
poSition were expended IN the procession.
We have heard that discussed thoroughly and
repeatedly IS yet, have gathered only
faint reference 10 that flood tide OF Know
Nothing elooucnce which had so long been
damned up for the occasion. 1t seems that
the "Tinklers" themselves were by no means
satisfied with the execution Of this eliminating
part of the programme. So they determined
to try again last night Of this, more anon.

In the last report OF the Auditor Of Public
Accounts, is an estimate Of the population in
the State which shows an increase OF 23O. 600.
The Auditor has recently procured from TIC
deputy Marshal ieturns, showing the ac'ua!
population from the several counties named
below, which show that his estimate approAl'
mates quite nearly the result.
We give in parallel columns the estimated
and actual returns. 1t appears that tic actual
returns exceed the estimate in the West, and
fall below it in the East.
If the present ratio Of representation IN
Congress is preserved, the increased p"pu'a-
ton in the State, when taken in c"nncXion
with the fractional excess Mt the last npp"r'
t:onment, will give three additional members OF
