Contrary to my usual custom—as we shall not ‘have a steamer éirect for your port until tho 8th proxi- mo, andas through the courtesy of the Acting United ‘States Consul here, Colonel Robertson, I have been malo Acquainted with a matter of some little momeni— T address you this morning by the round-abeut way of New Orleans. Without further preparatory observa- | tion, permit me to inform you that the brig Tribune, of | Orleans, Maine, J.

On the 11th instantthe captain, taking with him the se cond mate and two seamen, lef! the brig and arrived at Nuevitas on the 14th, leaving the firs! mate ami throe men in charge of the brig, with orders to ges oul a por- tion of the cargo, such ax the segars, &v., ready to bo sent ashore by the time he returned. The captiinagain left Nuevitas on the afternoon of the 14th, taking with him jaunches, men and everything rej visite to save the cargo. He arrived at the wreck on tho 1éth, and found the vessel abandoned by the first mate and the thres sea- men, who had taken away the boats, what cargo and provisions were obtainable, the log book, charts amt ing portable, including a portion of tho sails, runuing rigging, &c.,&c. ‘The first mate's aame is Her- man M. Notty. He is by birth & Dutchmen, dat jeri tng York, where he has a wile and ehild. He is twenty-four years of age, 6 fect 8 inches in height, has light hair and red whiskers.

He sent w boat, with an agent and men to the wreck, to sive as much of the cargo ‘as possible, the agent taking the requisite certificate that Mr. Rujz had become the purchaser of the vessel, cargo, They arrived st the wreck in safety, and had been at work several days, when, on the 20th inst., there ap- red seven jooners and two sloops, from Nassau, lew Providence, with about seventy men; these forcible possession of the brig.

Sonora, Oct. 9, 1855. Fprrons Conoxicis —Here is another murder to chroni- cle in your monthly calendar, and the execution of the murderer by & mob at Columbia. This afternoon a man by the name of Smith, a resident of Knickerbocker Flat. was kiled in a house of ill fame, by aman from Chinese camp, of thé’name of Bare! Ty appears that Smith had been intoxicated, and when in that state had gone into a house kept by one Martha, in Columbia, and oroke & pitcher that wae stancing on the counter. Mar- tha’s man, Barclay, asked Smith to pay for the pitcher, and the Iatier said he would; but, ‘he contiaued, he (smith) did not want any of the other's damned impu- dence about it. Upon this Martha’s man drew a pistol and hot Smith through the brain. Smith expired im- mediately, Great excitement was caused in the place. The mob, which soon collected, took possession of the telegraph office and refused to allow any despateb to be sent to the Sheriff; and at half-past nine the murderer was bung by the meb. Jusiso long as our laws are de- fective, and murderers are allowed to escape their just punishment—‘blood for blood’’—just_ so long will the executions by mobs take place. ~ JOSIAH PERKINS. From s private letter, dated Columbia, Tuesday, 6 P.M, written by a resident in Columbia to a friend’ in San Francisco, we extract the following on the above subject: Une of the most cold blooded and heartless murders ever committed inthis town, took place about an hour ago. Your friend Jack Smith, the noble hearted Jack, is no more, He was shot an hour ago, at Martha’s house of postitution, on the corner of Main street, as you turn te go to Knickerbocker Flat. He went in to take a drink with «friend. Some words passed between him and Mar- tha, when she threw ® tumbler at his head as be was leaving the house. Her fancy man ran out and shot him through the head. He died instantly. I have just come from the spot where he lies wel:ering in his blood.

Officers are guarding the door, The crowd now rush on them, scattering them like chaff before the wind. The people have secured the miserable man, and with a rope around his neck are dragging him through the streets, The whole town is in an uproar. Slam bang go the coors—they are closing tLe stores in the streets iroug’s whieh they are dragging the murderer. They wend their way towards Gold Hill. I now wait for further news. GUsRTER TO Eiout—The Marshal has just come in, and reports that the people have hung the murderer.

Our Virginia Corresponaence, Ricamonp, Va., Nov. 6, 1855, ‘the Nest Legislature—The Speakership—Another Candidate ing, dc., Bc. ‘The next session of the Legislature of this State, which meets the first Monday tn next month, will probably be the most interesting ever held in Virginia. In addition to the comprehensive scheme of internal improvements now so generally favored, the recharter of most of our banks, as also the election of a United States Senator, in room of Mr, Mason, will form new to- pies for discussion. Of these the last will probably be the loast embarrassing, #0 far as the legitimate action of the legislative body is concerned. Any difficulty arising rom this question will be confined to caucus operations, It will be so arranged there as to obviate even a remote possibility of difference when the matter comes up for final action, These views have reference of course to the democratic party, for it may be safely presumed from the large majority which they are likely to command in the Legislature, (twenty-five or twenty-seven on joint ballot), that no serious difficulty can arise outside their own ranks, Since my last letter I have assertained upon unqui tionable authority, that ex-Governor Floyd, now mem: elect from Washing‘on county, will be a candidate for the Epeakersbip of the next House of Delegates, in oppposition to O, M. Crutehfield, of Kigoe ous, who has occupied that position for several sessions past. His election is locked to with considerable certainty, not more on ac- count of the ex-Governor’s intrinsic merit aud the assu rance #6 6 generally entertained in regard to his efficiency, then a willingness on the part of the Eastern members te make some coneession to the West, and thereby silence somewhat the clamor about onopely raised in refer- ence to the East. It may be that this is hit upon asa means to check the aspirations of the ex-Governor for the United States Senatorship, the friends of Mason belng conscious that he would prove a formidable barrier to his re-election. Ji would seem aa though we here in Virginia have the exclusive management of the preliminaries fer the ensa: ing Presidential election. We need but Iny the plans— name the candidate, and the fat of the Union must fol- low. The moral influence which Virginia always exer- cised in national politics has arisen, it would appear, to a dictatorial standard, whence it ix to be inferred that sho will claim the right'to install some one of her pliant sons intothe l’reridential chair. Any man who would daremake an assertion to the contrary might look out for squalls, ‘The question ix not who in the Union is hkely to be the next President, but who in Virginia? To spoak of giving way for expedioncy-sake, to some Northern conservative man, is on idea that cannot for a moment be entertained. Virginia is regarded ‘as the synony ne of victory. It would be vain to talk of expediency in opposition to such a con- viction. ‘Thus it is that the question of the Presidency is viewed in this abstract sense with reference to Virginia. In addition to the names of Henry A. Wise ‘and ft M. T. Hunter, I learn that that of ex-Governor Floyd—this some ex Governor referred to above is also mentioned in connection with the Presidensy—so that Virginia is likely to present cancidatesenough for the whole Union. Go it, Old Virginia, Wise’s thunder during the late campaiga has resuscitated the Old Duchess into active life again, and she is now as gay as a young bride, resolved to eut the lists for the highest honors iu the country’s gift. iG If she is defeated in this race, woe to democracy. Hor cha- grin will nearly drive ber to elects Know Nothing to oe her next time, bad as she licked that party be- re. Yes, it ian fact, that the ex-Governor is spoken of among Western men as more likely to ggt the nomination than Wire, whose ultra Southernismn is regarded as an invinci- ble barrier to his election. Indeed, # prominent country paper of this State has expressed decided opposition to him on this ground, holding Douglas to be the only man whose nomination would secure the triumph of the party. Lam disposed to think that the same furling is enter- tained by other prominent journalists in the State, for T observed a wonderful anxiety to have produced a apsech of Judge Douglas’, full notes of which your correspon- dent had taken at the time. This, however, may have had reference to another object, probably to lay the foundation tor another lick at the prostrate carcase of Know Nothingiem, It ix rather a hazardous enterprise for an editor, at this time, to advocate the claims of aa, outsider. The State pride of the Old Dominion woul rebel against such a policy, and never, it may bo truly said, was it Bo Keositive as at this time, elated as itis by x victory which gave the first ‘repulse to the triumphant march of Nnow Nothingism, and rendered it powerless in the South. The echo of that victory will 1esound in the next national convention, and Wise’s nawe will mingle with the thunder, But it is extremely doubtful, notwithstanding the enthusiasm manifested in his regard among a large portion of the people of this State, whether the fame which his recent success has given him will overshadow the objections which his ram- pant ultraism will present. His friends set him down as the prototype of Jackson—a characier, no doubt, which woud tell’ among those who look to the contingency of afuture rupture belween this country and the allied powers of the West, Many are heartily sick of the crouching back-out policy of the present admini tration, ‘and long to seo such men in as would be likely to vindicate the hons of the nation, here is no triend of Wise with whom I have conversed upon the prospects of his receiving the nomination for the Presidency, that did not advance the stern, determined feature of his charac er ax the grounds for his elevation to that position, They say that a crisis will probably soon arise—judging by the tone of the Erglish press—when a man of the Jackson stamp will be needed, and Wise, they contend, is that man. Of course, the filibusteros will go tooth and nail for him; and as to the foreign vote, that is deemed certain beyou ‘The American party have thus far made no matter of the Presidency, but fiom all I ean learn, L Oak George or General Fam Houston will ve thelr vorite, Alexander R. Holladay, the newly elected Commi sston- er of the Board of Public Works, has gone to England to negotiate for the sale of some Virginia lands, The Know Nothings proclaim this action as another blunder of thia branch of the democratic executive, and one which will be likely to cost the State pretty dearly. They charge them with having permitted ‘the proper oeca ton for finan cial negotiations to have passed, the amount of apecie in England baving so much decrease! as to render it dif cult to obtain @ loan, and the rave of interest so mueh in- creased a to entail upon the State an extra expense, even should they succeed in getting it. But these considerations are entirely overruled by tae pressing ne- cessity for funds. Millions will, in all certainty, be voted away by the next {egislature for purposes of in- ternal improvement, and the funds must be provided, no matter at what cost. Wise goes in pledged to compr hensive system of Improvement, and the policy Is gene. rally favored, The Covington and Ohio Railroad, which is regarded as the improvement of the State—in fact a State enterprise—will need an appropriation of at least $2,000, 000 to maintain operations upon it until the season of 1857-58; while in conformity with the usnal practice of log- rolling, other minor works must be favored, as an indis- penrable condition to the granting of this large appro- priation. Means must, therefore, be procure’ to moet there outlays, and how far Mr. Holliday’s opinion will tend to accomplish that object, is, of course, to be ascer- tained. The improvemenis are ‘certainly’ very much needed; but once made, Virginia would become probabl: the second most proaperous state in the Union, The ad- vant of establishing a connection between the Ohio river and tidewater, by a line of railroad running through a country abounding in vast agricultural and mineral resources, would be incalealable. In fact, if anything can advance her in the scale of prosperity, it is this enterprise. It were well that a better occasion, such ax existed while money obtainable at 21 per cent. had been chosen. diminution fn the supply of epecie which the present ad- vanced rates of interest indicates, will present, I fear, a serious obstacle to the acquisition of the necessary amount. I learn that John Letcher, of this State, will be before the Legislature as a candidate for the United States Sena- torship. ‘The prospect of Mr. Mason's appointment to the Court of St. James, as Mr. Buchanan's successor, is looked to with a considerable degree of certainty. and henee, itis Preguimed, Mr. Letcher’s aspirations for the Senatorship Snder oo | circumstance, Iam informed that ex-Gover- nor Floyd will be @ candidate, and, in the event of Ma- son's appointment to the English mission, there is every reason to think that he would be successful. Meanwhile Botts pursues “ the even tenor of his way, resolved, turn up what will, to engage in the Yor, be ls bound to run, no tatter though he save bis distance. Of all politicians living he dispirited by defeat or adversity. No matter though he should be worsted ina hundred battles, he rall to the fight with a nerve and energy that bespeak tainty of kuccess. During the recent fair in this city, I no- ticed’ in the National American « speech of his delivered some months ago ata State fair in New Hampshire. It was reproduced for the vecond or third time in this instance, with a view, of course, to favor bis pretensions to the United States Senatorship; some aay the Pred better still.

Political Summary of Pennsylvania—Causes of the Know Nothing Defeat—Presidential Canvassing—Position of the Different Parties—The United States Senator—The New Dallas Movement—Names of the Committee—General Pierce's Chances for Re-nomination—Mr. Buchanan's Priends—Other Name:—The Vice Presidency. Never in the history of this commonwealth were poli- ticians #o completely nonplussed as at present. The Know Nothings have not as ret recovered from the effects of their astonishing defeat. So certain were they of victory, that as high as one thousand dollars to one hun dred was bet upon the election of Kern, their candidate for Sheriff, and great was their dismay, when they found, upon counting the ballots, that they had been routed horse, foot and artillery. Their defeat may be traced to a variety of causes. In 1854 the subject of prohibition was submitted to tho popular vote and repudiated. Upon the assembling of the Legislature it was found that the Know Nothings were largely in the ascendant. In the teeth of the popu- lar will they passed on extremely stringent Liquor law. This alienated many of their most ardent adaerents. Error first. After they had made their nominations this year, they were afraid that they could not elect their ticket without the help of the a>olitionists, To secure this they deserted their own candidate for Canal Com. missloner, the only State officer to be elected this fall, ‘and went for Nicholson, the abolitionist. Error second, In addition to those two grave mistakes, they nominated for office Mr. Small, of whom it was currently reported that he isan Englishman. Error third, The Dutchman, who drinks bis glass of lager, Paddy with bis whiskey, and the Pennsylvanian who imbives his cobbler, even be hea Know Nothing, would not support a party who had wished to deprive thom of creature comforts. Yhon there were thousands of the Initiated who opeuly revoltes against being transferred to the abolitio ints, while others refused to support a man re- garding whose birthplace they were in doubt, The nomination for the Presidency is warmly and at times fiercely debated in the lodges, so says “dame ru- mor.”’ The Hon. Jucob Broome, a Know Nothing member of Congress, and Mr, Fletcher, an ox.member of our State Legintature, go for different candidates. Thore has been @ meeting of the leading members of the Order to endea- vor to agree upon some one man, but it was found impos- sible to harmonize, consxyuently it broke up without any definito or satisfactory results, On dit: there is to be a grand fen de joie of 1,0 fired to commemorate the recent victories in} and Massachusetts, while on the other hand, the deno- crats, not to be outdone, are resolved to have a similar jollification upon the successes in New Jersey and Wis consin, There is one thing certain, that come off or not, it will allend in smoke, ‘the whigs, ‘alas! how have the mighty fallen’’—but as that party is dead, there iy no use in rattling ita dry bones—we can only say, in the langusge of the church service, reguiescat in pace.
