There is 4 vigorous howl from the govern
ment clerks inWashington accredited to Nir-
glnla. Not only have they paid their assess
ments to the national and State committees,
but Malone has now a score or more nightly
engaged at his rooms i'll the mailing Of cam
paign documents For this work they re-
ccivc no compensation whatever. Malone
tells them they should be glad of the oppor-

power: Otherwise their places will be
speedily filled.
Colonel Fulkerson's canvass in the west
ern portion of the 9th district is said to have
been attended with great success. We learn
that well-iniormed gentlemen in Abingdon
say he will not lose Il dozen votes in that
town, and his friends claim that he will
carry Washington county by very large
majority. In Russell, Scott, Lee, and Taze-
we'll he is also said to have strong read
juster following, and since his announce
ment of his purpose if elected to act with
the democrats in Congress upon all qucs-
tons of q national character, he has enlisted
the support of many democrats who have
heretofore stood alooffrom him.-JI WheriNr

A correspondent ofthc Rockingham irgis-
ter, travelling in the Southwest, writes: ''Our
friends i'll Pulaski seem to believe confident

to Fulkerson and Newberry, the impression
seems to prevail that they will both stick TO

there is no doubt as to Fulkcrson's election.

This statement is given me by men here
who ought and claim to know whereof they
speak.
The Rcadjustcrs claim to he the great
friends of the poor man, but it seems that
+ they sometimes oppose measures intended
for his special benefit. Will fishermen and
, oystermen of the Northern Neck support
Col. Mayo after reading the following which
we copy from the West Point Star:
'sWhen House bill No. 22S, was under dis
cussion in the late House of Delegates
which had for its object the cxcmpting of
more property to the debtor, an amend
mcnt was offered to the bill TO exempt Il

exceed in value one hundred dollars. TO a
fisherman or FISHERMAN, and if the fisher
man or FISHERMAN had both boat and horse
then the debtor could make 4 selection
, which he should claim under the law. This
proposition was opposed by Col. Mayo, and
| he spoke against the amendment and the
bill was defeated. This amendment was
nothing but justice, and came from the fun

defeated the measure. They had the ma
