ONE OF the most remarkable things OF
this remarkable age is the fact that in Vir-
e:nia, the ne plus ultra of the Southern
conservatives, the ancestral and persist
emit opponent Of all sorts of isms' the rock
upon which know-nothiugism was dashed
to pieces in its attempted invasion OF the
South, and the peculiar and distinguished
homo of personal liberty, such tyrannles
and outrages as are essayed by the pro-
hibitionists and boycotters should find, not
active supporters. but one man who gives
them countenance or who even attempts to
condone them.

THE REPUBLICAN pension committee Of
the republican U. S. Senate though only
as expected, has agreed to postpone inoen |,
riteIy the Mexican pension bill as passed
hy the House, for the assigned reason tna'
disability, and not service, merits pension
And this it has done, be it remembered
though thousands of able-bodied and ricn
men are now drawing pensions, and that IL
is proposed to pension every man in the la'e
war, no matter though be was only disabled
Yesterday, and the wife of every such man
The simple fact that most of the benehcia-
ries of a Mexican pension bill live IN the
South ia q sufficient reason for the opposl-
ton such bills always meet from Northern
republicans.

Especial Correspondence of tho Alexa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. c., May l9, 1856.
1t is not Duddington Hall, as stated in
this correspondence yesterday, that the
President has bought for o summer home for
himself and his expectant bride, but the old
stone country house on the Green estate,
across Rock Creek. 1t is currently report
ed in social circles here that the President
being DESTROYS that his approaching nuptials
be celebrated in accordance with the form
and manner usual in the highest society OF
the section of country In which he now re-
sides, has invited, not Mr.. Bissel, as report
ed, but Col. CORTLAND II. Smith, OF Alexan-
dris, Virginia. who is especially au fat in
all such matters, to be his "best man" If
this be 1.-The Colonel's distinguished accom-.
of the Capital that the whole affair will be
scribed rules OF the oldest aud most refined
Virginia society.
A company has been organized here, of
which General Shelley, of Alabama, an ex-
member of the House, and now 18th auditor
of the Treasury, is director, which has
leased from the lessees of the Alexandria
canal two and a-half squares OF land adjoin-
ing the south side of the Alexandria canal
at it's outlet lock at Alexandria, from the
clay on which they will manufacture ma
chine made brick by the wet process.
1t is the intention of the lessees of the
canal to ask the City Council of Alex.
andria, at it's next meeting, to relieve
the brick company of taxes, inasmuch as
they, the lessees, are taxed on the ground
the company will use.
In the Senate to-day communication re-
lating to the proposed free bridge across the
Potomac from the foot of New York avenue,
southeast of the White House, to Arlington
Heights, was presented, and referred to the
committee on appropriations Mr.. Dawes
saying that that committee already had the
subject under consideration. This site is
decidedly more popular, not only in this
city, but on the Virginia side of the river,
than either that at the aaueduct or the
"Three Sisters" and has MANY friends
among the members of Congress. Tn re-
spect of the bill now before a conference
committee of Congress providing for
bridge at the aaueduct or at the "tTbree
Sisters" it can be said that no meeting of
that committee has yet been held, that
Mr.. Riddleberger, member of it, says the
bridge shall be at the latter place, and that
at least two other members of the commit
tee are opposed to the bill unless provision
be made for the preservation Of the aqueduct
of the Alexandria canal. 1t is reported
that the lessees of the canal are confident
that the canal company will accept the
terms Of the bill as it is.

THE COAL miners at Cumberland, after

first struck. But this is not the worst. A
large number of them have been permanent

LOVERS Four AND MAIDESs FIVE. A STORY or
TIE ALLEGHENY MOuNTAINS,' by Julius Cham
bcrs. Prico % cents. Philadclphia: Porter &
Coates.
This love story of Cresson Springs reawakens
all the old fascination that visitor to that beau
tiful mountain resort has experienced. The weird
and romantic localities are described in gay and
vivid manner; many of the lost tales Of the Ale
ghenies have been rescued from oblivion and upon
the pretty thread of love tale valuable collec-
ton of historical and Typographical information
has been grouped. A really novel idea is the
foundation of tho story. Four young men go to
Cresson to pass summer month and they find
four charming girls. At first there is harmony
but fifth girl, entirely outside tho group, rescnts
slight that has been put upon her and succeeds
in disorganzing the party to such an extent that
only one couple marry as they originally hoped.
Some admirable pictures of clever young women
aTe drawn, and several keen hits arc made re-
garding the society Young woman, who manages
her parents 1t is in every way clever and
readable volume One can enjoy it at sitting
The fifteen original pictures by J. b. Sword, N.
A.. and F. &. Schell give it additional value
Many crisp cpgrams scattered through the
pages that would well repay quoting, but it would
be unfair to our readers to deprive them of the
pleasure they will derive in picking out the bright
say ings for themselves. To them VIC say: Fall
to, you have an enjoyable feast before you"

EIrDLEEERGER AFTER MAHoNE.--The

The L. 4 N. Railroad.

This line of railroad owns and OPP
crates mileage extending from st.
Louis to Jacksonville, Fla, an& from
Cincinnati to New Orleans, besides
its many branches leading to these
main lines of road. This company has
made many improvements on its lines
and continues to better those parts
of the road that need attention. Ths
division from st. Louis to Nashville
is being ballasted as fast as the work
will permit, and when finished II will
be second to no piece of road for firm
ness and durability. The L. II N, is
determined to have the entire system
in such a condition before it stops,
and after undergoing thorough over
hauling, faster time can and will
be made, which will enable the travel
ing public to reach points Of destina-
ton in still shorter period of time
than at present; though the L. u N.
now enjoys most excellent reputa-
tlon for the attention it gives to the
accommodation of those who &c
over the many lines of its road. The
L. 81 N. has comparatively few
accidents, which is accounted for by
the careful selection Of its employees
who must be- especially fitted fol
their positions.

A Gard From Peter Morgan.

Ed. KENTUCKIAN
AS one of the Committee having in
charge the matter of securing the To-
cation at this city of the Colored
State Normal School, l desire to re-
turn thanks in this public manner 10
the Hon. Jas. A. Mckenzie for the
interest he has manifested in the
matter. Both by letter and in private
conversation he has repeatedly as
sured me of his kind feelings to-
wards the colored race and Of his
friendliness to the cause of colored
education. Throughout an acquain-
lance of fifteen years, have found
him uniformly and consistently the
friend of the colored people and he
has always shown such deep in
terest in the better education of our
race that / am satisfied his language
was misconstrued, if there was any
utterance in his recent speech that
appeared unfriendly 10 the colored
people. 1 believe the statements to
this effect are being made to influence
votes and a few politicians do moi
represent the masses of the people in
making these unjust criticisms. This
is written aside from all political
considerations. PETER MORGAN.

The Eve Of Battle.

This is the last issue of the KEN
TUCKIAN be fore the election comes of.
The campaign is closed, with the ex-
ception Ofa pow-wow at the Court
house tomorrow night, and we pause
to take look at the two lines drawn
up in battle array. On one side we
see ticket created by clique which
entered the contest confident,
defiant and audacious. 1t pro-
claimed itself the ticket of the Re-
publican party and piled the party
lash vigorously all over the county,
but with such poor success that it
goes into the fight trembling with
apprehension and with its knees
knocking together from fear and
trepidation. The politicians who
created the ticket realize that there is
a limit 10 public endurance. They
had an opportunity to select men of
high moral standing, of unquestion-
ed integrity and Cfsuporior qualiiica-
tions for all the offices, but relying
upon the force of superior numbers,
reckless, defiant and regardless Of the
peoples interest they encountered
their ticket with the names of men
who are utterly unfit for the exer-
else of any public trust and who are
totally incompetent to perform the
duties of the offices to which they
aspire. There are some good and
clever men OH the ticket, but like
old dog Tray, they are in bad COM
pany and have endan yered their owl
success seriously by trying 10 help
pull the whole ticket through. The
dissatisfaction caused by choking off
Capt. Underwood and Capt. McDan-
iel, both Of whom were excellent Of
ficers, has not been removed and
many friends Of these gentlemen
will rebuke the action of the Ring by
repudiating its ticket IN whole or in
part. This fact is fully realized and
as a natural sequence The ticket is
badly demoralizcd and in poor fight
ing trim.
On the other side stands the ticket
of the Democratic party and of the
people. There is not a man on the
ticket who was not fairly nominated
by the votes of the county. There is
not one who need be ashamed of his
record public or private. There is
not one who is an offensive, hide
bound partisan. They arc all upright,
honest men, competent, qualified,
conservative representatives of the
people. From Judge Winfree down
TO DR.. Bell there is not q man who is
not quallDeu 10 Ill the ONCE lie seeks,
and who has not always been law
abiding citizen and heightened gen.
ileman. They go into the fight as.
sured of support by their own party
and by many good meu, white and
colored, of the Republican party,
while that large class Of voters who
do not claim allegiance TO either of
the parties will support them because
they recognize in them the best ma
terial for county officers. Let us hope
that when the sun shall have set next
Monday, morality and purity shall
have triumphed and boss rule shall
have been rebuked by the people of
Christian county.
