RICHMOND. Sept. 27.-Parties who
pretend to be we'll informed, think
that jeff. Davis's late diarrhoe OF
the mouth was brought on by the in
tensity of Northern greenbacks and
the humidity of the times. Visitors
returning from Anti Dotage Springs.

NASHVILLE. Sept. 29.-Gov. Brown
vetoed the action of the stockhold-
ers in regard to the removal of the
mummy from the museum Of the
capitol, giving as his reason that it
would interfere with, and infringe on
the rights of the retail whisky deal
ers throughout the State. AS long
as our legislators have that old mum
my to look at they will feel dry, and
the consequence is, when a legisla-
ture feels dry it always takes drink
and that drink is invariably whisky.
This veto has the unqualified endorse
ment of Col. Burch, though he has
studiously avoided any reference to
it in the U. s. A. while he has been
pleading it's merits. The whisky
ring is again triumphant and much
elated.
