very generally Unidentified tina; James
II. Ferguson, Esq-, Of Cabell county,
j. In the Geld. We do not know that
this gentlemen himself has said or done
anything TO authorize the abatement or,
perhaps, even to Justify the inference
That lie will be candidate, but there
seems to be a general understanding OF
that KIND among his friends and sim
liar impression among outsiders.
There are other gentlemen who, while
they have given no one reason to sup
DOSE they are aspirspis to the Senate,
ere looked upon by their friends as
eligible and "in the line OF promotion"
We take the liberty OF mentioning sew
eral whom we have beard spoken Of in
this connection Hon C. D. Hubbard,
Hon. Daniel PolsIey, Hon. James n.
Brown, oftbe Supreme Bench; a. w.
Campbell, Esq; Hon. Benjamin Stan
ton, Governor Francis II. Pierpoint.
On The Democratic side OF the house
It is conJec,ured there are several gem
tlemen willing to accept the Senatorial
robe, proVided they get the nezrLegis-
lAture. AT the head of the list of these
patient expsctauts stands Daniel Lamb,
Eco, and following him may be men
toned, Gov" Ben Smith; Gen. Jack
SOD. of PaEkersburg, John J. Davis, OF
Clarksburg, Hon. W. g. Brown, OF
Preston, Hon. Sam Price, OF GEeenbrler
and possibly Hon. Sam. Hays,o Gill

II is not certainly known whether
Mr.. Van Wrinkle ~ilI again enter the
lists or not. We have been told he made
the declaration many months ago that
he would not; but circumstance alter
cases; and, since tho Democracy have
iust awakeued 10 realization of his
admirable fitness for the place (takiug
the expression in Monongalia as q
samplei it would seem within the range
of possibilities they might persuade
him to go back another term-PToVidec
diGGys, as We before remarked, q
should be their province to make The
Senator. 1t has been suggested tha
Gen. Northcott is rubbing down this
Honorable Senator with an ulteriol
purpose to put him or the track witt
the Union Candidates; but this conjec.
ture is not reasonable, as the General Is
busy just now in clearing the track fol
Gen. Harris, and he could hardly man,
age two such nAgs at once. Some in,
formation in regard TO Mr.. Van Win.
kle's Intentions might be obtained from
one Andrew Johnson. of Tennessee
who seems to be remarkably well
posted therein. Tho recent exnarisnc,
of FOUR friends with the Senator LEADS nj
TO suggest that although he hss dis
claimed any wish to be candidate. h,
might change his mind when the inv,
comes. Is our friend of the TeleoroDI
getting ready for some such conIin
