The Richmond Wing says: 10y We look for
ward to the approaching Convention in this
State with no pleasure. It will not be Fir-
ginia State Convention, but a mass of ignor-
ance and Hun,icutt incepdiarism. There will
be few good men in it, with all the best at
tributes that belong to Virginian character,
but they will not have play for their talanss and
and their virtues. The sense of inutility will
be constantly present with them, and supreme
disgust for their companions in that body will
render them uncomfortable from the time they
enter until they leave the building. %

We have anotherreported "4emanation' from
Gen Grant. Tits said, that Southern editor,
on the anxious bench recently had a CONVEX
sation with the General, and in reply to inqui-
ries, he, (Gcn. G.. said, "he was not aparty
man, aud never had been of any political party,
and perhaps should never be; that he voted
for Mr.. Buchanan for President, but had not
done much voting SINCE because of his unset
tied residence Tie editor further says that
the impression he derived from the CONVERSE
ton, was that General Grant will not accept a
nomination for the Presidency from the radi-
Gals proper, but that he would accept the nom
ination as the representative of conservative
men. This is stated by the Washington cor,
respondent of the Baltimore Sun. Neverthe-
less, is seems to be quite certain, notwithsand-
ing all such reported conversations, that the
Radicals will accept Of Gen. G. as being a
"good enough Radical for them. 1

BUFPALoEs VS.. LoCoMoTIvEs.--O the
Pacific Railway, in Kansas, last Monday,
between Ellsworth and Hays, an exciting en-
counter took place between a herd of buffaloes
and a passenger train. For three miles the
butfaloes pushed along parallel with the train.
Many shots were fired, but nothing stopped
the tide OF the stampeded beasts. Finally they
swept across the track, ahead of the locomotive,
fairy worsting the iron horse By bringing him
to a halt.
