THE NEW CANDIDATE.-We have
seen several notices of the candidacy o.
Warwick w. Hammer as the radical
candidate for Congress in this district
We know nothing of Mr.. Hammer, and
publish gratuitously the following no
tice of him found in the Charlottesville
Chronicle :-"Warwick w. Hammer
publishes an address to the voters Of
this district in the Scottsville Courier
Warwick is IN favor of paying the State
debt, which he says is demanded by
common honesty. 'Rah for Hammer =
If the creditors are willing to compro-
mise, Warwick will interpose no objec.
ton, but it is for them to decide what
shall be done without coercion. In or.
der that the birthplace of Jefferson,
Gilmer, the Randolphs, Southalls, and
host of the brightest names which
adorn the history of Virginia, may have
in this canvass one candidate 0dvocGt-
ing honest principles, Hammer an
nounces himself, although at great sac
rifice of his private interests.
The Charlottesville Chronicle has
this additional to tell us about the belled
buzzard, which attracted SO much atten-
ton in this State few years ago TT
will be recollected by our readers that,
about two years ago, repeated mention
was made of buzzard which had been
seen in various parts of the State with
bell attached to its neck. The bird
has again been seen in Virginia, after q
long absence, during which mention
has been made of his having been OBJ
served in the State of South Carolina
On Sunday last the belled buzzard was
seen on the farm of Capt. s. NJ. Teel,
who discovered him while at his morn
ing meal on a dead calf. AS buzzards
do not often give people an opportunity
to place bells on their necks, It is pre-
sumed that this is the "oId originaln
bell -buzZard."
NOMINATION OF Hon. J. RANDOLPH
TUCKER.-Hon. J. Randolph Tucker
was unanimously renominated for Con-
grss on the Greenback platform; advo-
eating the issuance of Treasury notes
In preference to banks, such notes to be
made receivable to all dues for the Gov
eminent without distinction denounc-
Ing the resumption act; opposing any
further contraction of the currency
favoring an expansion of currency in
judicious proportions; also, favoring a
repeal of the tax ON the circulation of
State banks, and endorsing the remone-
tization of silver.
