The Great Change In wCstorA VIZ.

Senators Carlile and Wiley no longer
represent Western, but Eastern Virgins,
in the speeches they make and the votes
they record in Congress. While they
have bscn carping At the gradual eman-
cipation policy Of the administration, the
people Of Western Virginia have, with
strange and unexpected unanimity, been
sustaining that policy SO far as their own
locality is concerned. The recent vote
for free State is very large, SO much SO
IS to greatly surprise themselves. The
Well.burg (va.) Herald says:
"Was there ever greater revolution
in public sentiment than has been wrough,

CoRoNER's INQUEsT-Coroner Hall held
an inquest yesterday on the body of Joseph
b. Cobb, the lad who pershed in the accident
to the sail boat on Monday. From the test-
mony OF young Preston, the only one saved,
1t appears that at the time of the accident Mr..
Preston, his wife, and the two girls were in
the stern sheets of the boat frolicking-the
two lads were forward. Preston let 90 of the
tiller, which brought the boat up in the wind
In getting her round again she jibed, and there
being SO much weight in the stern of the little
craft-being only fourteen feet long-the water
came in, filling the boat and rolling her over.
All hands then clung to the keel, but their
weight sunk her again. The mast then came
out, and she righted and floated. Mr.. Preston.
his brother and the Cobb boy clung to her.
Preston then left the boat to rescue, if possi-
BILE, his wife, who was floating at little dis
tance This was the last that was seen of him
or his wife. Barbara Cobb and Julia Derald
were not seen after the boat sank the second
time. Young Preston got into the boat, and
after he had partly bailed her out, he helped
young Cobb to get in. He knew nothing
more until he found himself on board the
schooner. 1t is supposed that young Cobb
tainted and fell into the bottom of the boat,
where he was sufiocated by the water in it.
The verdict of the jury was that he came to
his death by gross mismanagement of the per-
son who had charge of the boat.

MARROW EscAPE.-Capt. Edward Good
ing, master of the bark S. w. Hobrook, had
narrow escape from drowning on the recent
voyage of that vessel to Havana. On Thurs

cane blowing, the vessel lost her deck-load.
had two topsails and the mizen staysail split
to pieces, the flying jib washed from the boom,
and the starboard water tank stove to pieces.
In the afternoon the vessel shipped tremen-
dous sea, which washed Capt. Gooding over
board. No one saw him when the circum-
stance took place. Capt. G. went under the
barks bottom, and the suction was so great
that he could hardly reach the surface of water
to get breath. Fortunately the signal hal
yards had parted during the gale, and about
ten fathons of it was trailing under the bot
tom, which he succeeded in graspng and
hauling himself to the surface. Watching his
opportunity, by great effort he succeeded in
catching one of the main chain plates. and.
with the assistance of the mate reached the
deck completely exhausted and considerably
bruised in the body and arms. The vessel ar
rived at Havana Oct 9th, at which time Can't.
Goodng had completely recovered.

% According to the Montreal Gazette,
an important beard case is to be settled by the
full bench of the Canadian Judges. One of
them has decided that no gentleman practic-
ing at the bar should wear beard The
Judge spoke of long boards as indecent. A
member Of the long robe took fire, denied its
indecency, and declared he would noe sacri-
flee his Jewish appendage. The Judge wish
ed no discussion OF the matter, but would re-
fer it to the full bench. who would doubtless
issue an order upon the subject. The St. John
Morning News, referring to this novel case,
says:
The Judges freak seems so much like
boarding the lion in his den," that we begin
to think the adage was made in anticipation
OF this particular case. Had his honor sug-
gested the clipping of the ends of the lawyers
tongues, we might have thought him a bit of
wag, and that he would have had at least a
shadow of justice on his side. Judge Jeffries
was said TO be the hardest man in ermine that
ever sat upon the English bench but we are
not aware that he ever took exception to the
cut of a mans coat. or the length, or shape of
his beard, when pleading before him. 1t re-
mained for Canadian Judge in the midst of
the light of the nineteenth century, to sit him
self up for Beau Brummel, and gravely die
tate that the beard was an Objectionable iea-
ture, altogether unbecoming a member of the
Canadian Bar.

Capture Of Rebels Crossing the
POtOmOc.
WASHINGTON. Oct. %

WASHINGTON, Oct %.
Orders have been issued directing the occu-
pancy for government purposes of property in
Washington OF persons known to be in the
service of the rebels, including five houses be-
longing to Com. Forrest, two to DIR. Cornelius
Boyle, one to DIR. Gannett, son-in-law to Hen
ry A. Wise, one to VIM. X. Smith, member
OF the rebel Congress, one to Mr. Phillips ex-
sixth auditor of the treasury, one to Captain
bennington, ex-chief of the capitol police,
and several others.
1t is ascertained from New Granadian
official source that the government has inter-
posed no objection TO free black emancipa-
tion to that Republic, the policy being to en-
courage the settlement of the country by those
qualified to develop her agricultural and min
eral resources.
Lieut.. J. A. Howell and Acting Master S.
p. Lathrop, have been ordered to the steam
sloop-ofwar Ossippee. Ensign S. W. Perry's
order to the Ossippee has been revoked. Act
ing Master Pierre Gerard and Acting Ensign
Isaac Mckinley, have been ordered to the iron
clad steamer Montauk. Acting Master Wm
Carter has been ordered TO the iron clad
steamer Nahant.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
made the following decisions concerning the
tanning of leather: A tanner who receives
hides from other parties, owners, upon an
agreement to tan the same by the piece or by
without inspection to the owners, whenever it
it is ready to 20 forward, having first obtained
and filed in his office the written certificate
of the assessor and collector of the district in
which the tannery is situated, that in their
judgment such removal will not be preiudicial
to the just administration of the excise law,
providing that every tanner SO removing tan
ned leather shall make a monthly return to
the assessor of the district, of the number and
weight of the sides or pieces of leather so re-
moved; and provided that he shall furnish to
the assessor monthly the inspectors certificate
of the weight and quality of the leather so re-
moved during the preceding month, and that
the tax shall be paid in the district where the
tannery is situated.
Gen. King has been ordered to report to
Major Gen. Dix.
The Potomac fotilla has been doing an ex-
tensve business in the capture of contrabands,
goods and men in the rebel service. To-day
party were brought to the Navy Yard, who
were made prisoners while attempting cross
from Virginia to visit their Maryland homes.
Rebel army passes and many letters were
found upon their persons.
There is no apparent reason TO occasion any
serious consideration of the rumor afloat in
New York that Gen. Mcclellan has been SUI
perseded in command of the army of the Po-
tomac.

NEW YORK PoLITICs.-The democrats have
made their nominations for Congress in the
New York city districts. They comprise the
two Woods, the ex-Mayor and Benjamin. In
the 9Th district the Constitutional Union men
nominated james Brooks of the Express. and
an expectation seems TO have prevailed that
the Democrats would adopt him, but they did
not. Perhaps this has something to do with
the following remarks of the Express:
The Democracy here. yet is running as close
corporation. 1t acts if il wanted nobody in il not
born in it, from the cradle up 1t is very like the ma
chine the Democracy OF Massachusetts, twenty
years where they kicked out every new conner in or
der TO keep the party small and close the better TO
moBopoze aud divide the offices the Democracy in
other States created for a Democratic Federal Gov
ernment 10 distribute
We were told by the best authority that Mr..
James Brooks entered Tammany only last
spring, and it is hardly modest in him to erpect
such high honors to be conferred so soon. A
little more Of the exquisite service well attend
ed to, and his claims may receive due conside-
ration at the hands of the sachems. Have pa
tience Mr.. Brooks-a flower of such rare ex-
cellence was not born to blush unseen.

A FAIR CRowD.-There was an immense
assemblage of ladies at the 1st Parish Church
yesterday forenoon. Not only was the church
completely packed, but hundreds were outside
unable to gain an entrance. The occasion
which drew the fair sex together in such large
numbers was the marriage of Lieut.. Inman,
of the 18th U. S. Infantry, and the daughter
OF our respected citizen Joseph w. Dyer Esq.
Quite large number of military officers were
present. The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. E. c. Bolles, in his usual happy
manner. After the ceremony was over, the
bride and bridegroom were serenaded by the
18th Band, at the residence of the brides
father.

g Hon. George Bancroft, the eminent
historian and Democrat, refused to stand as a
candidate for Congress against another Union
man, and in letter says:
For one will not give vote for any man
whose election would be an encouragement to
the rebellion to hold out. /, for one, wW not
consent to send our sons and brothers to the
battlefield, and then betray them at the polls.
Are the citizens of New
York to be so inconsistent as to strain every
nerve TO gain the mastery in the field and then
to signify at the polls readiness to faint and
succumb? When the oligarchy of the South
began the war by wantonly' Insulting our flag,
this people rose up with a calm and resolute
earnestness which was surpassed only by the
sublime patience and moderation with which
they bore defeat and mismanagement. and un-
certain guidance. Shall we now proclaim that
this zeal was Il delusion?
