Fauquier county, VA. delivered lee
ture on the night of the 26th ult., at Ma
sonic Temple. in Baltimore. on .Woman's
Position, Present, Past and Future
She said she was not an advocate of fe-
male suffrage, but of female rights. She
contended that woman civilized Egypt
long ago. Young America says we viii
not be governed by woman, not even
our mother shall control us. Napoleon
asked Madam Campan what the French
most needed. Her reply was Mothers

what we need in America now. She
claimed that woman should fill any Of

for 1t, and receive the same compensa.
ton. She said the Lord did not give
the command to Eve not to eat the for
hidden fruit, but to Adam before Eve
was formed. therefore Adam was the
transgressor. Paul saws the man was
not deceived, hut the woman was; and
alas. she has been deceived ever since.
The lecturer cited Joan OF Arc, Char
lotte Corday, Mrs. Candance, female
sovereign of Ethiophia, and Zenobia,
Queen of the East, as examples OF wo-
mans capacity. She did not consider il
the highest right of q woman to vote. when
tile lowest and meanest man can do so.
She urged that women should have an
equal chance in the battle OF life. Tai
ent and genius have no sex. The lee.
ture was of considerable length and We

The Lac to be. Executed.

Governor jacob has requested the
State oihcersto prepare to move TO the
city OF Wheeling. lie suggests that
books, records. &c, be packed and rea-
dy to go, because on and after the 2lst
Of May the seat OF government OF the
State will be At Wheeling by an enact
ment OF the Legislature, and it is desira-
bic that there should be no interruption
Of the public business.
The Governor assumed in the first
place, and has maintained by argument
in reply to a remonstrance from citizens
OF Charleston, that an Act OF the Legis-
lature made Wheeling the seat of Gov
ernment and only an act OF same au.
thority could unmake 1t. The oousti-
tuition requires that the Governor and
officers shall be at the seat OF Govern
ment, and when the law goes into ope.
ration the officers ,riu go to the sect of
government. The writ of Judge can
not change the seat Of government
The act oftle Legislature provides that
the seat Of Government shall be at
Wheeling after ninety days. The order
OF circuit Judge ca,,aet repeal the law.
This appears clear enough. Now sup
pose an injunction is obtained when the
time comes, and the writ is served on
the Governor on the day the law goes in
force and the Governor is detained
here. That would not change or repeal
the law; the capital would be at Wheel
ing; and it would yet be at Wheeling
if not book or scrap of paper be-
longing to the State should go up there
The Law and not the Governor fixes the
capital at Wheeling. Charleston Chroa

The Destructive Insect THAT han

The huRalo-gnat is credited with oc-
casioping widespread mortality among
the horees and mules or West Tennes-
SEQ. Many farmers have lost all their
working stock at a season or the year
whom they can least AFFORD to do without
them. The bite Of this insect seems as
deadly rs that Of the African tsetse, the
pest Of ell travellers IN South Africa

was bite proof. but the experience OF
his last Journey convinced him that he
was in error. The donkey, though not

stripes. Its proboscis pierces the skin
OF its victims. and draws thence plen.

the Tennessee insect. but whatever it is.
its ravages are quite like those of the
