The Intelligencer, on taking occasion to publish extracts from a late Know Ni pamphlet from the pen of Judge Robertson, C.J., of Kentucky, enters its protest against what that gentleman says derogatory to the cause of the ‘‘straight-out’? Whigs, with ref: erence to the new party. The editor inti- mates, we fancy, his determination to continue a Whig ard a Whig only. The Union argues that the cxpensesof their of the current war are fast reducing England and France to bankruptey; and an- nounces that the Democrats of the House will combine, to organize the bedy, with no other party whatever. This is the well known pol- icy of the leaders of that party, who will, we ‘hink, manage to earry it out. Yet we shall not be surprised to find that if a Democratic Speaker fails of election, after a long contest, wore or less of the Democratic members will vote for some very decidedly anti-Know Noth- ing and snti-Republican Whig. At any rate, no other description of politician, save a regu- lar Democrat, can get a Democratic vote for Speaker of the new House. —— PERSONAL.

Summers, Exq.. Mayorof that city, to fill the n oned by the death of the late Mayor, Hunter Woodis, Esq. In Portsmouth, on Sunday, the dwellings of Col.M. Moore and Mr. Schalts, on Queen street, were partially destroyed by fire. The health of the two cities has been fally re-established: and business isvery brisk. The Portsmouth Transcript, however, cautions me- chanice and others from going thither expect- ‘ug to obtain employment, as there are many idic there now—a great rush having been made for the plaves vacated by the victims of the late scourge; and the usual number are at werk in the navy yard. Messrs. Page & Allon have resumed ship building at their yard in Gosport. ————<.-__-____ ES” We bare received from Joe Shillington Alneworth’s last work, “Mysteries of the Court of the Stearts,’’ one of the most inter- esting romances ever written.

The times, in the practice of the French Govern- | | ment in making work for the unemployed in hota Pennsylvania needs in the Uni times of a superabandance of labor over tho legitimate demand for it. It may be well the Germantown ® neutral jour- nal of high character and wide influence, which after recommending him as a “ promipt, energetic, practical, able, and eloquent gen-| tleman, who on all measures untinged with polities will serve the Commonwealth truly and faithfally;”’ sums up his partisan cher | acter as follows : “In a word, Col, Forney is the very man it he is a very or is true he isa 'y | man, and he leans a vast deal more towaea the South than we can admire or'approve; but then fo Ez @ we know this—we know where he stand; ot (Thao dcocial mare “4 whos | ond inst as decided as he is in his political ernmentg exist, and with their respective peo- ples situated as they sre: We question the propriety of the application of that system, however, on this side of the Atlantic, where | the leading principle of the government is. | that it isto interfere as little as possible iu the individual affairs of the citizen, and tv tax him as little as possible—and especially not to tag one citizen or class of citizens for the benefit of others. Our thoughts turned to this subject, last night, on inci- dentally reading an advertisement in the Star, wherein an individual addressed to us, a day or two ago, a lachrymose jeremiad bo- eauge some superintendent of a branch of the work on the extension of the Treasury had felt it to be his duty to deny to the complainer what he claimed to be merely his right, viz : work at the cost of the Government. He Pleaded his service as a volunteer; the fact that he has a son in the naval service of the Government ; that he is a mechanic of thirty- three years standing; and is getting too old to go elsewhere to seek employment. Now, if service as a volunteer is to entitle one to employment here under the Goverr- ment, Uncle Sam must increase his demand for labor of all sorts at this point, as there are quite one hundred thousand ex-velunteers in the United States. If any other of the reasonz on which this complainer founds his claim to @ place under the Government be held to involve a fair title to it, there are per- haps three or four millions of people equally as well entitled to monopolize public employ- ment at this point. So the principle is one that will not work practically. The truth ir, the only rule that should govern-in such mat- ters is—the superior fitness of the person seck- ing employment for the discharge of the duties on which he seeks tobe employed. When that rule is departed from, there is no telling where its violation is to end—to what point of special favor and extravagance in the use of the pub- lic funds it isto lead. In the particular case to which we refer above, we learn on inquiry, that the complainer, without asking employ- ment or leave so to do, picked up @ hammer and a pair of stone chissels and set himself to work upon block of granite. As the super- intendent was short of hands, and was hunt- ing everywhere for more just at that time, he was allowed to continue to work for a few hours to see if he was competent to do what was required of a granite cutter employed on the foundations of the building. Though per- haps a good marble cutter, he did not prove such a granite cutter as the superintendent desired, and he was notified of the fact. Bat alleging his right to employment from the Government, the testy old gentleman refused point blank to give up the tools and vacat2 the place in which he had installed himself. So it was found necessary to send for a Police officer to eject him. Hence his resort to the Star's advertising columns, by way of getting avent forthe natural indignation of a free born American citizen, on being refused his “ rights’’ under such a government as ours. So the world wags here, at times, as onthe other side of the Atlantic. The Froposed Combination—While our respected neighbor of the Intelligencer is im- agining it to be the easiest thing conceivable to organize the House through a combination between the Know Nothings and Republicans, the Albany State Register (K. N.) indig- nantly denounces the New York Tribune's published terms on which the Republicans will consent to vote with the Philadelphia- platform men. In truth, it will soon be fourd that the condition of the opposition in Con- gress embraces quite as apt an illustration of Barnum’s ‘‘ Happy family’’ as the New York Democracy did in their fiercest cat-and-dog- fight days. The Senatorial Canvass in Pennsylvania, and Col. Forney.—The present brief visit of Col. Forney to his home in Pennsylvania has occasioned among the Washington writers for the Northern press gossip and rumors almost without end. He had scarcely purchased his ticket at the railroad station, on the morning of his departure, before the lightning bore away a positive statement that his editorial connection with the Union had ceased. That falsehood having been exposed and denounced the industrious fabricators of intelligence from Washington have constructed another, a little more plausible, but equally destitute of truth. They now say ho is in Philadelphia seeking the votes of the members of the Legislature for himself for Senator. In this there is not a shadow of trath. Every fact in the case is the reverse. While yet in Philadelphia, im- mediately after the brilliant result of the Oc- tober election, to which he contributed largely by his constant and effective labors, proffers of support for that high dignity came to him like a flood. Members clect, sonaiors eleet, editors, lead- ing and influential Democrats, from all quar- ters of the State, nominated him by sponta- neous action, and volunteered their aid. Tha wotes sought him and not he the votes. But he declined to be considered a candidate, Expressing himself by letter and by verbal declaration to be prefoundly gratified and proud of these manifestations of regard, he obeyed the impulses of hie generous nature, and much to the regret of many of his friends, declared his purpose to withdraw his name from the canvass, that he might not embar- rass the other gentlemen named for Senator, nearly all of whom are his close personal friends. Buoh are the facts of this latest item of news from Washington, avouehed by one who speaks from hiaown knowledge, and who takes ad- vantege of Col. Forney's absence from the city to make the vindication, which he would not waste & moment in making for himeelf, It may be well onough to say, while upon this subject, that the nomination of Col. Por- city and the West | Bey was well reooived, not only by the news- ‘st many of the dro- | paper press of hie own party, but by the press of other parties in and out of the State, the Philadelphia North American taking the lead talents, and high Thig car readers have | t press have also seconded the move of Col.

Ship in the harbor of San Francisco, and that she isin a very bad condition, &c., are wholly untrue They arise from the fact that as usual with Government ships in all ports, some of her men have deserted. poet, The Message.—It id not yet determined whether the message will or will not be sent out from Washington, as heretofore, in ad- yance of its reading in Congress, to be deliv- ered to the proprietors of newspapers at a dis- tance on the instant its reading here com- menees. The Hon. My. Singleton.—The very latest advices from this gentleman’s district of Mic- sissippi, induce us to believe in the strong probability of his re-election to Congress. We have certain news from some of the counties thereof, which do much better for him than ageording to the belief at Jackson, at latest dates from that point. Butter and Cheese.—We saw, this morning, being landed at Willards’, the product of » noted dairy in Washington county, New York, which the enterprising proprietors of that famous house had bought, as a portion of their winter’ssupplies. It consisted of sixteen thousand pounds of butter, and ten thousand pounds of cheese! The distant reader, from this fact, can gain an idea of the magnitude of the business of a first class hotel in this city. The Doorkeopership.— We hear that among the candidates for the doorkeepership of the House, is the Rey. Mr. Mitchell, a Metho- dist preacher, formerly from Hampshire coun- ty, Virginia, who, of late, has been a travel- ing oratorical companion of that shining Know Nothing stump-light, our friend, the Rev. F. 8. Evans. For House Postmaster.—It is said on the Washington political Change, that Captain F. Asbury Tucker, originally a candidate under the present Administration for the Washington City Postmastership, and Major Holman, of Ky.. are candidates for the post of Postmaster of the House of Representatives. Both are, of course, Know Nothings. The Republican Party.—We perceive that in Massachusetts aud elsewhere in the North, the Republican party is organising vigorously for an independent fight in the next Presiden- tial election. Its leaders proclaim that, hit or miss, they will have a candidate standing on the Republican platform, as it was main- tained in the recent State elections, and on nothing else. The House.—The Tribune's estimate of the strength of parties in the new House is —Ne- braska Democrats, 78; Whigs and Know No- things of pro-slavery tendencies, 38; anti Nebraska opposition men, 118. Bat there is really ‘no telling who is to be governor until after the election.”” Removed and Appointed.—Mr. R. B. Deit- tick, a first class ($1.200 per annum) clerk in the General Land Office, was removed yester- day, and Mr. A. M. Clark, of Pa., has becn appointed in his stead.

Quarles, in Henrico county, between the plank road and the canal, and about three miles west of this ay The particulars are as follows: Four lads from twelve to sixteen years of }, Ramed Samuel Hicks, George Wade, John Mountjoy, and Samuel Beechum, procured guns and started off on a hunting excursion. After reaching Mr. Quarles’ farm, George Wade fired his gun ata bird, the otherthree standing near him, and then stopped to reload. After patting in his powder, wadsand shot, he raised fowling piece te his arm, cocked it and put @ cap on the nipple, He then attempted to lower the hammer, but in doing #0 it slipped from his fingers, fell upon the cap and exploded it, causing the barrel to discharge and deposit its contents in the left side of Samuel Hicks’ head, who was unfortunately standing direct- ly in front and within a few feet of the muzzle, ete out bis brains, and eae f causing immediate death. Not knowing what to do, and being very much alarmed, the other two boys, at the request of Wade, promised to keep the accident a profound secret, and with that understanding, they left their dead companion in the woods, and returned home at night. Some hours after having retired to rest, the cireumetaneo preyed so heavily upon youn, Mountjoy’e mind, that ho called his mother an told her what had happened, and yesterday morning she broke the heart-rending news to the parents of young Hicks. Justice R. B. Tyler was then sent for, and accompanied by the three boys and a number of other persons, a search was institated, and the dead body of pha Pao found, hia brains seattered on the ground. 2 _ Justice Tyler, after seeing the body, had a jury of inquest summoned, before whom the three boys, the companions of young Hicks at the time of his death, were exami: |, and the above facts elicited.

The fair of the Americun Institute élpsed a few days since. Its success is a sad commen- tary upon the mis-managoment of the great fair held first in the Crystal Palace. The as- sociation cletred over. $12,000. The net re- ceipts amounted to over $30,000. They met with such success that they made overtures for the purchase of the Palace. The price set upon it is two hundred thousand dollars; this, it is understood, they have ‘agreed to pay when they can get a renewal of the lease of hd land, upon which it is built, from the legis- ure. The lecture season is in flood tide. We have lectures on all conceivable subjecte—from the philosophy of tooth picks to thoughts upon ereation. Some persons imagine that an oges- sional crumb of instruction may be picked up by listening to these discourses; but the reg- ‘ar attendance of so many can be accounted for in no other way than that a class of per- sons are at certain periods laboring under pe- culiar excitements, the worst symptoms of which are mitigated by listening to somebody's talk. Thackeray hes got through with the “ Four Georges’” in New York. He has been requested to deliver them at Beecher s church in Brooklyn, and before an association of ‘oung men in the same city. It is a debata- le question whether they are so much admired for their literary worth as for their hearty abuse of English manners half s century age. ‘To the ears of the judicious the lectures would sound quite as well if they were not written especiafly for an Amerivan market. $ ein New York have always a subject of ‘‘unusual interest’? which as our friends of the Home Journal would say, is calculated to create conversation at the tea table.. The sub ee of this moment upon the tapts is a work y the musical director of the Academy of Music—Crotchets and Quavers; or the Reve- lations of an Opera Manager: Published by French, Nassau street. The book is written in an easy, rollicking style, and every page is as full of interesting gossip as it can hold. Max Marotzek, the author, is a German, and we can easily overlook the Germanish style of his English by the very manner in which he hauls some of our authors and artists over the coals. The prefacc isa model of easy assur- ance. Whoever reads it, will surely go through the whole book. The management of the Italian Opera has no doubt been a mys- tery to a great porticn of the press of the country ; Crotchets and Quavers throws a flood of light upon this subject. Some of the scenes in it are as amusing us the deserption of San- cho Panza’s defence of his island of Cervantes Raehel, in a fincly-written and beautiful address, bid us, on Satarday night, a farewell for the present. Up to this time, she has been very successful. tt is said that she has al- ready cleared forty thousand dollars. Phila- delphia will be the next scene of her triumphs. The “ Quaker City” having for a long time been the lead in such matters, we await, most avxiously, the resultof Rachol’s success there. Considerable feeling is manifested here upon the subject of the expulsion of the French re- | tugees from the island of Jersey by the Eng- glish Government. We feel a certain amouat of shame, mingled with pity, that E: should give such evidence of truckling to Louis Napoloon. Her enemies see in it speedy symp- toms of decay, and her bost friends acknow- ledge it a weakness. Tecumseu. _——-+ = + Axvsine Merinonpnosis —The St. Johne- bury (Vt) Caledonian relates an amusing in- cident which recently occurred at the Island Pond passenger depot. Among the passengers from Montreal was an ancient specimen of the ag homo, of gigantic proportions apparent- ly of the feminine gender, who might have been taken for Walter Soott’s Meg Merriles, | or one of the witches in Macbeth. Her head and shoul lors were covered with a large old- fushioned shawl, fastened under the chin, while from underneath the shawl a huge mass of uncombed black hair straggled in elfin locks down her cheeks, and completly covered the upper part of her countenance. On her left arm swung a somewhat dilapidated satch- el, while with her right hand she vainly en- deavored to keep the wandering folds of a faded calico dress of magnificent dimensions from trailing upon the platform Thus ap- parclled, our traveler stepped forth amid the crowd, ogled by the giggling boys, and shunned by the hotel ruaners. To the aston- ishment of the byztanders, she beldly ete ped forward and demanded if she was in the Uni- ted States Upon being answered in the af- firmative, she coolly remarked that she did not wish to shock the modesty of any one, but she should take the liberty of ‘shuffling off” not ‘‘ this mortal col!,”” but a portion of her unique garme No sooner said than done. Of came the venerable shawl and the anti- quated «ress; when lo and behold! the weird looking old woman was metamorphosed into a bouncing young man of twenty-five, who, two days before, as he said, had deserted from the service of good Queen Victoria, and had as- sumed this disguise to aid him in his eecape. —_—_——— =— RELIGIOUS NOTICE.—RACHEL W.
