Response from Virginia.
The Richmond Wing says


"The National Opposition Convention at Balti-
more have done their work gloriously. Amid per-
feet harmony, and with high enthusiasm, they
have presented for the Presidency and Vice Prcsi-
dcncy those noble old patriots and statesmen John
Bell, of Tennessee, and Edward Everett, OF Massa
chusetts. They present them on the solid plat
form Of personal worth Of intellectual fitness, and
of political loyalty-as men who have served their
country long, faithfully and ably, and have there
by given the surest guarantee of their trustworthi
ness-as men whose career has shown that they
possess minds too broad for sectional statesman
ship, and souls too lofty for the petty schemes OF
mc-serving politicians and selfseeking deua-
gogucs Such men at the head of affairs, all must
admit, the country never before so sorely need
ed"
The Petersburg Intelligencer says
"Thc Convention has done noble work in pre-
senting such men to the country, and we can but
hope that the intelligent voters will duly value the
prize that is now within their reach, and work with
will for the good cause till victory shall crown
their efforts"
The Richmond Dispatch thus speaks OF
the nominees
"Without compromising the neutrality of this
journal in political matters, we may be permitted
to congratulate the country upon the disposition
recently manifested by all parties to put forth their
greatest names in connection with the highest OFF,
ces Mr.. Bell is Il leader, under whose ilustrious
flag even the old Wing Guard who fought under
Harry of the West may march with pride and
patriotism" The Dispatch, also, highly compll-
ments Mr. Everett's craftsmanship.
The Fredericksburg Herald says
every friend of 1.-The Constitution of the Coun-
try; The Union of the States; and The Enforce
mcnt of the Laws; the platform of principles
adopted by the Constitutional Union party of the
United States in convention assembled i'll the city

Mr.. Eser, of tho johnson Rect, short
time since left the district, and went over
land to Adelaide, taking with him dog
belonging to his sbrother. Onarriviug there,
the dog appeared i'll atease; he determined
to see whether he would return. and accord
ingly wrote a letter to his brother, and, en-
closing it in handkerchief, tied it to the
neck of the dog, which then started. A
letter was then posted to the brother here,
with the somewhat laconic contents Of
"Dear Brother-arrved here safely. For
further particulars see dog" This was, Of
course, perfectly uninteliigible to Mr., Esler
till the day after receiving the letter per
post the four footed messenger arrived with
the "particulars" around his neck. After
his lonesome journey of 600 miles he did
not appear much faiigued, but seemed over
joyed at reganing his own town again

Two French ladies who were in San Fran
cisco when the Japanese arrived there, were
anxious to 90 on board the vessel where
the foreigners were. But ladies could not
be received. Nevertheless, they put on por-
tions of their husbands wardrobe and made
tho visit. They escaped detection while
they only talked, for neither party could
understand the other; when, however, they
shook hands with the Admiral, a peculiar
smile passed over his features, and he i'm
mediately caused an attendant to dive into
his cabin and bring out variety Of hair
