We notice that Judge Orro, Of Floyd
County. is spoken Of as candidate for
Governor in 1860, on the Republican side.
He is man of towering ability. gem
tlcman of the old school, and if elected
would reflect credit upon the State Hcis
very popular as man in the quarter Of
the State in which he resides, and would
become SO wherever the people could have
an opportunity of hearing him speak and
becoming acquainted with him. If he is
nominated we cannot only support him
zcalously and checrfullys but with every
assurance Of his success.


The Corylon Argus. published in a
neighboring town to New Albany. where
Judge orro resides, thus speaks of him:

will consent to the use Of his name for that
position. We believe that were he to do SO,
it would be at a great rccuniary sacrifice.

accomplished lawyers in the State, man
who, in any position, would reflect credit

last Saturday evening that she died on Sunday

her clothing was almost entirely consumed that
the fire was extinguished. She was frightfully
burned all over the body, and fingered in great
agony until Sunday night, when she expired.

RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.-A company has been
formed. styled the Montesana and Deer Creek
Railroad Co., which has for its object the run
ming of railroad track. one mile in length, to
bring quartz to the Oriental and other mills on
Deer creek. The road commences at the Ori-
entail mill, and will terminate at point above
Gated many rich quartz ledges, among which
may be mentioned the Lecompton. Beach's,
Buchanan, and Jacobs. The track is to be
laid so as to run the quartz down to the mills
in the vicinity of the terminus, without any
propeling power. That this is not visionary
enterprise, it is merely necessary TO state that
the survey and estimates have all been made,
and the work is commenced.

with their unapproachabie glory F.

human beauty are presented to our view

in almighty torrents upon the human

Senator Broderick.-A correspondent
Of the New Orle ans Crescent. who had
travelled in company with Senator Brod-
erick from New Orleans to Tehuante-
pee, writing from the latter place, says:


Senator Broderick is remarkable
man, and his words must always carry
weight. The people Of the Atlantic
States will know him better than they
do, before his senatorial career expires
in 1864. In conversation With him he
came out with his political views very
plainly and eoncisely. He does not
think an extra session Of Congress will
be called, but ifthe President does con-
vene an extra session he does not intend
to attend it. His design is to superintend
the fall elections in his own State, and
this is like saying that Slidell manages
in Louisiana. only Broderick is stronger
in his State than Slidell Is at home. He
goes into the coming contest with the
avowed intention of "crushing out" Bu-
chanism from the golden State and what
he determines on there is no telling how
he will accomplish. His opinion of the
Government is most fearful, for corrup-
ton exists in every department Of it from
the head to the foot. Such is the SEN
timent of man who has many ways of
finding out the truth, and he will tell
some rare secrets in the political canvass
into which he is about to enter.

From the Baltimore Sun, On the sicAIes Tragedy.


No married woman can be approached BY anv
man with undue professions Of regard, o. Of
affection, but with On instructive kDOwledge Of
his design. Not the slightest impropriety, not
the least indelicacy in word or deed can b
thrust upon her observation without stsrtling
her honor and putting her on guard. She y g
once armed she has . counsellor ever q her
side TO direct her, and champion 70 defend her
lin true and honorable husband. Hence the
law esteems her guilt at least equal % that Of
the most seductive and designing invader Of her
honor, when she falls.


The married woman is arrayed in the very
panopiy OF virtue and cannot be sMrpyised. She
can hardly be said TO faH-she steps aside Of
her own free will and sins deliberately. With
these premises can there be any difficulty 10
answering the question, what man ought 70 do
in the event supposed. We say just what many
a good and true and honest man has done be-
fore, and We could name shining example in
the act Of one who well deserves the title Of
hero and philosopher.


He neither slew the man nor the woman. He
called the erring wife befo4e him, and bade her
take whatever she could righ.fully claim as her
own, and leave him forever, and then like the
hero that he was and is, he pursued manfnlly
the ever tenor Of his way, and oil men honor
him. This is what, in our opinion, . man ought
to do.

Vincent Brown, Architect from San Fran
cisco, is at present in this city, drawing up
plans for the construction of q new bridge
across Feather river, for the proprietors OF
the present Yuba City bridge. He has two
plans, one for stationary bridge and the
other for draw bridge The first is to be
used in case the Legislature declares the
Feather river unnavigable above the point
of location of the bridge The second to be
used in case the river is still declared naviga-
BILE Both plans are beautiful ones. in scien.
tifc point of view, combining as they do all
the elements of strength possible to be EN-
braced in work of that kind The main
principle upon which the plans are founded
is this-to bring the weight and pressure,
both of the bridge itself and the loads that
may cross it, upon the timbers in what might
be termed pulling manner instead of di-
rectly downward. 1t is well known that a
piece of wood pulled out at both ends length
wise will withstand an amount Of strength
which it never could Withstand were it ap-
piled in different manner. A very small
stick cannot be pulled in two without very
great exertion of power, but it can be placed
on end, crushed by adownward pressure, and
with very little trouble. This principle is
very beautifully illustrated in both Mr..
Browns plans. The draw-part of the draw
bridge plan is made to run on wheels which
are rotatory but fixed so as not to move out
of their places. A hand power at the crank
puts the draw in motion, and causes it to
run back on these wheels. We cannot pre-
tend to give description of the process, but
it is as perfect as anything could well be. We
suppose that the bridge will be built upon one
or the other of these plans.

pointed by the party, goes over to the enemy

crat, it is as much vacancy in the member
ship as if he had died or formally withdrawn
Now, the memberships which have been de
clared vacant and filled, were occupied, fol
the most part, by men who bolted the actor
of the regular Democratic Convention of thi.
county, and have ever since refused to act with
the regularly organized Democracy. They
have fraternized with the Boilers in all their
boiling proceedings, set at naught the au
thority of the party, ceased to be Democrats
(for we do not consider Lecomptonites Dem.
ocrats, by any manner of means) and, there.
fore, there was nothing to be done but to de-
clare their places vacant and fill them with
men who were true to the party. This course
was taken by that portion of the Committee
which was Democratic, and the regular De-
mocracy will sustain them in their action.
