FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence OF the Ale1andria oazelteI
WASHINGTON. d. c., December !, 1852
Admiral Wyman, c. s. Navy, while attend
ing to some business in the banking house
of Riggs s. Co., hero to-day, was, without
premonition, stricken with paralysis. He
was taken at once to his residence. where
he lies i'll i prccarious condition.
Gcuclal Mahouc has arrived. He came
trom the North, New York, not from his
own State, as the old time Virginia Senators
used 10 10. His quarters this year will be
AT Tic Arlington Hotel instead OF the Port
land Flats, and as tho Virginia Legislature
will not meet this winter, lie will probably
he hero during the Whole session.
a gentleman from Fairfax county, here
to-day, in talking about the recent removal of
Dir. FaiT, the superintendent of public ill.,
struction in Virginia, from that county to
Richmond, says he sent his family and fur
niturc via the II. & +. K. H., so as to deprive
Mr.. Barbour's road of that much freight,
and that putting his live pigs in wagon,
and tying his COW on behind, he set out for or
the State capital, trampng along by the
sido of the horse.
From Wcst Virginia it is icarnd to-day
that Mr. Ben. Wilson, one ofthc democratic
members Of the present Congress, but who
was not a candidate for reelection, will get
the republican vote in the Legislature of
that State for q. s. Senator, hut that he
will be unable to get enough democratic votes
10 elect him. The small democratic majori-
ty in the Legislature will make q democrat
ic caucus necessary, and that caucus. it is
supposed, will give the nomination to Mr..
kcnner, member Of the present House and
member elect of the next one, as Mr.. Davis
will moi elcctioneer for reelection, and as
the day has long gone by in American pol
tiles when honors and cmoluments are be-
slowed not only without asking but without
begging

bitterly and contcmptuously Of Malone and
Brady. Malone and Brady are going to
fight Io:t': reappointment. Rumors of
discussion between leading republ-
cans ::ad Mahcne arc increasing, and
