Ricumonp, Va., Jan. 6, 1856. ‘The Annual Hiring of Negroes—Their Privi- leges—A Virginia Candidate for the Know Nothing Nomination—Wise’s Inauguration—What is Thought of the Presilent’s Message—Heavy Sale of Ne- groes—‘the Weather and the Poor—Ice and Burglaries— Norfoll: a Phaniz—Bank of Kanawha—A Wall Street Mode of Settling a Dificulty, &c. For the information of the readers of the Har aLp generally, and the Northern ones in particular, I would say that this is now hiring time, and Rich- mond is crowded with colored mechanics, farm la- borers, waiters, servants and female cooks, seam- stresses, washers and ironers, and all the rest of the branches of Ethiopic employment. This is an an- nual custom, commencing immediately after Néw Year. Employers are busy, endeavoring to hire efficient help for the ensuing year, while slaves are trying to get good homes. Owners of slaves ane very anxious to get -good places for their hands, and will not let them at any rates to masters who are cruel in beating or overworking the negroes he hires. The greatest care is taken by the owner to see that this slave will be well housed, well fed, and sufficiently clad, before he lets him out, Indeed, the darkie is always con- gulted. If he or she do not like the luoks or the reputation of the one who wishes to have them, they will not go, and the owner never thinks of forcing his niggers to take places they do not think they would be comfortable in. To facilitate business there are commission agents. These gentlemen act like your proprietors of intel- digence offices; keep a room with seats for the ac- commodation of the servants, make bargains with employers and receive a regular commission. Their advertisements promise owners that they will pro- cure homes for their servants, and see that the hirer is a desirable person. Will the abolitionists believe this? Wages are very high this year. Females rent from $60 to $120, and men from $100 to $200 per annum. The Kuow Nothings of Virginia will probably present another candidate for the Presidency in the stapes of Hon. Alexander H. Staart, of Staunton, formerly a member of Fillmore’s administration. He is popular and able. The endorsement of John Minor Botts is not generally acquiesced in. The democratic journals have been trying to lend alnstre to the inauguration of Gov. Wise which it di@ not possess. The fact is, in Virginia this isa very plain ceremony at all times; and this year it was Becidedly flatter than last. No enthusiasm. ‘The military and congratalators were few. I would nothurt their feelings by saying that Wise is unpo- pular in this strong Kuow Nothing city. I will merely say that while the inauguration was going on it rained. The President’s message is looked upon here as a Buncombe document—intended not to intimidate England and make her back down in her aggressive offcy., but asa bait fora re-election. Many sensi- Tie people think that Americans would never sus- tain a fight about Central America, nor do they think that Crampton’s affair is sufficient excuse for imbraing us in an European war. It is thought ‘thege difficulties will be settled in another way be- sides fighting, and that the President knew this “full well” is the beliet. As for his Southern re- marks they take well with the staunch democrats— but the majority of the people puisce no reliance in them on account of Pierce’s free soil proclivities. He is considered 2 political coquette, whe amites at the South, and flatters her while he lavishes his favors on the North. Pierce never can expect a no- mination from Virginia, for either Hon. Tom Hunter or Governor Wise is certain of the democratic nomi- nation—-if left to the Old Dominion to determine. The former has the better chance. anes sale of negroes took place yesterday, at which thirty-three brought $27,733. len, women and children peougnt an average of $340 each. labor is very high. weather is very cold and disagreeable. More snow has fallen this week than during the whole of “angi tes abe is the hard winter fod y is city are very great; but hui eafforts a eonine to ‘tileviate the distress, It enced snowing last night, and has not ceased this morning. This isthe lest snow storm known here for nine years. It is an ill wind that blows no od, so I will mention that the ice crop will prove unusually productive. Burglaries are very prevalent here just now, On last Thursday night the rooms of the Exchange Hotel were entered by thieves, and jewels, watches, and trifles were pock ly \. Norfolk, it is said, has more than sevived. SI has oyt-pheenixed the phoenix. 15,000 tons is th ement of the shipping there, and on Thurs day last, at auction, a store was let, on Market square at $1,320 per annum. Tali rent, that, tor a sm: “Tie The loss of property by fire in Richmond this year amounted to Pi 236. At Lynchbarg, on Thursday last, Hon. Thomas S. Flourvoy was chosen delegate to the Philadelphia American Convention, with instructions to urge the postponement of the nominations till June or July next. The Bank of Kanawha, which has had a hard ran, in consequence of unfavorable reports, has redeemed about $200,000 of its circulation, leaving about $100,000 out to redeem, for which they have 5] $50,000, bank notes $15,000, and $95,000 bills, re- ceivable in its vaults, Two gentlemen of this city, after having a busi- ness difficulty, met in Wall street last evening on either side of the street; cach drew his revolver, and commenced popping away at the other; nine shots were fired without damage. You don’t settle matters in that way in your Wall street, I believe. The Virginians are more chivalrous th n bulls, bears and lame ducks in Gotham. # B. H. M.

A complete split has recently taken place in the Know Nothing mnke in this city, because of a repudiation by the Botis element, of the 12th section, in accordance with the riews of their distingaished leader, A meeting of the coubined councils of the Know Nothing party of this city, was held on the 1st inst., when the following resolution) with » ‘ew others of a less important charac- ter, were \opt Resolvet, as the opinion of this council, That the agi- tation of davery should ceare, The rights of the South are plain ind palpable, weil defined and understood, and ‘we believe they should not longer be treated as open questions. We will maintain our guaranteed con- stitutional rights and our right of property in slaves. ‘We believethe continuons agitation of this subject is made by silfish politicians for personal and party promo- tion, and # hurtful to the South; and therefore we are op- posed to te introduction into the national American atform ¢ this or any other agitating question caicu- fatea to ditract the harmony or endanger the success of our princijes. Resolved as it is well known, That our distinguished fellow-citizn, the Hon. John Minor Botts, was among the first tondvooate the policy avowed by ‘the nati American prty, it is but an act of simple justice to de- clare our emfidence in his principles, and admiration of his talents and if he should be called 1) he over the destinies ofthe nation, we are fully justified in declaring that he wil|bring to the task a devotion to the princtples we cherleh,an enlarged experience, a profband sagacity and commaiding talezts, which none in the nation can ‘be found topxcel, or perhaps to equal, and that we hearti- ly reapend the action of the Triangle Council and Ame- rican Unior Lodge, of New York, which have expressed their pre‘ernces for Mr. Botta tor the Presidency. ‘the Whig in commenting on these resolutions, says:— We havesut a word to say in reference to thia action e‘theoombned councils of the National American party cithe eity ¢ Richmond, and that is, that itis a clear, uneqnivocaland shametul misrepresentation of the opin: ions, sentimmnts and privetplea of more than nineteon- twentieths o the thirty-five hundred Amorican votora of this city, ang what is more, is a palpable misrepresent tion of the vice of the entire American party of tl State, with aningle exception, as expressed in the reso- lutions of tip American mempers of the Legislature, which we puilished in this paper a week or two ago. In a word, the nported action ‘of the combined couaoils of the NatioralAmerican party of the city of Richmond’ is & dohbeny and unmitigated fraud upon the vast ma- jority ot te American voters ot the city, and contrary to the wel ascertained and thoroughly underatood sen- timent of the whole American party of the State. From thejudment of the ‘‘combined Councils,” repre- sented hy ilty or sixty individusle, the sworn egemen of Jobn Yinor Botts, we boldly take an appeal to the people, ‘This is hard talk, but it is true, every word, 1 thought Bitte strength rated as high as one hundred in the city, bit It seems not. The Whig knows best, and 1'd not, threfore, dispute his assertion. The Nabmal American newspaper waa gotten up as ‘the Botte’organ in this city, upon the joint-stock prinei- pple, and b this you can judge how came these resolu- tions to fitl their way first into this sheet, All that that paper and fy others of the kind could do to promote Botts # chhoes for the Presidency would be atterly,un- availing slong as the Whig takes ground againat him. And in tha ponition he is unalterably fixed, so that all the resolutms which your Triangie Couneil and Ameri- can Union odge would poy ta @ year, would be of no NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1856, 8 avail, at least #0 far as the ~prospect to concillate the Southern interest is concerned. ‘Tho last idea, in @ poli- tical connection, entertained in the South, ts, tha Botts would got the ucmination of the thing party for the Presidency. His position on the Ne! bill, as also his recent mento with relerence to the 12th section, renders such @ conti: utterly hopeless. unless, indeed, the Northern sentiment in his bebalf is much more general than has a8 yet been manifested.

Mexsures of extreme harshness will be adopted, and probably some effective retaatory scheme fixed upon but whether the abduction of a slave will be made to involve the penalty of death is a matter of doubt.

The South will act upon the de- fensive us long asany degree of safety to her interests will be guaranteed thereby, but beyond that, no consid- eration—not even the preservation of the Union—will in- fluence forbearance. next Southern Com mercial Con vention, to assemble in this city on the 30th inst., will probably define what position the South will me in view of the present formidable aspect of abolitionian, as manifested in the existing state cf parties in the United States House of Representatives. fis probable that the joint committee of the Legislature having under consid. eration the subject of retalia'ion, and the more effectual prevention of the escape of slaves, will await the action of the convention before recommending any measures upon this subject tothe General Assembly. ‘The laws up- on these subjects will, no doubt, be framed in conformity with the action of that body, and the recommenda- tions from that source will be rigorous in the extreme, there is every reason to expect. Ex-Governor Floyd offered the following resolution in the House of Del: gates, yesterday:— Resolved, That the Committee on Courts of Justice in- quire into the expediency of appropriating like sums of money to the use of free persons of color, who shall emi- grate to any of the non-slaveholding States and settle permanently therein, that are now appropriated for the removal of such persons to Liberia. The object of this, no doubt, is to obviate the impro- per infuences which the free negroes genera!ly exer sise upon slaves. The transfer of this class of our population will in a social point of view, be ax advantage to the State, for almost one half of robberies committed in the Commonwealth are perpetrated by this class. The Northrons will ascertain that, much as they love the woolly heads, will be by no means a profitable acces- sion to their population. They are indolent ana mis- chievous, and will necessarily become still more so under ‘& more liberal code of laws and an exemption from the salutary restraints which are imposed upon that class in the South. A weeting of the democratic mombers of both branches of the Legislature was held in the hall of the Houre of Delegates on Monday night. They adopted a resolution ordering that a Democratic State Convention ‘be held in this city on Thursday, Feo. 28th, and that the proqrran, fe the various counties, cities and towns in the State be invited to sen4 delegates thereto. They ad- journed to meet again on Thursday week. We had, on Saturéay last, the heaviest fall of snow seen here for the last twenty years. It continued twenty-four hours incessantly, and is now fully eighteen inches deep throughout the city. The novel porcine of sleighing ts now presented on our streets, and from present appear- ‘ances, an opportunity will exist for several days to come for this enjoyment. The coldis excessive.

Resolutions of the Vermont Legislature on the Kansas Defficulties, Addressed to the. Governor of Virginia— Message of the Governor to the General Fai Accompanying these Resolu tions—Actton of that Body Thereon. Governor Wise addressed the following communi- cation, with the preamble and resolutions herewith annexed, to the General Assembly of this State, this morning. While the Clerk of the House of Delegates was engaged with the reading of them, a-feeling of indignation was evinced throughout the House, and I feel sure that nothing but a proper regard to the rules would have restrained the‘members from an expression of indignant scorn at this ebullition of Northern fanaticism. The following is the Governor's communication, accompanying which were the resolutions herewith transmitted:— TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF DELEGATES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMIILY OF 7% COMMONWEALTH OF YiRGINIA:—~ GENTLEMEN—I hesitate to decide upon complying with the request of the Governor and Legtslatuce of Vermont, to Isy before you the accompanying resolations of that State, ‘on so much of the Governor's message as relates to Kansas. ‘These revolutions are in every seuse offensive to us, and unbecoming an intercourse and correspondence which shouid obtain between apvereign States in the saine confederacy. They are designwd to irritate public feeling upon a topic concerning which it is naturally and habitu- ally sensitive aud excited, and are calculated to impair the affection Which should bind the people of the States togerher in nationa) union, * Extremely erroneous and taise in fact and in principle, they are not worthy of dis- cussion, The time for discussing such unwelcome mis- sives from State to State is passed. We cannot reason with the Leads of fanatics, nor touch hearts fatally bent upon treason. From time to time, for many years, the authors of such mirchief have been remonstrated with in vain, and have been induced bu. to repeat outrages, to renew insults, and at last to organize opposition to the constitution and lawa and to seize upon te and federal authority for further oggzession, . In the present posture of relations we can but wait in colm, dignified and patient composure, either for the worst to come to the worat, or for a returning sense of patriotism. a reverence for the past, a sacred regard to law and order, a love of justice and of ee, to be re- awakened and to restore a sisterhood of States, its affec. tion, its harmony, its Slory and strength. 1, therefore, recommend that no action be had or taken upon these resomtions by you, Ic is proper, per- sp, that they should be only as State ar- chives, in proof of the wrong offered us and of our for- pearance, and this, and respect for State sovereignty alone, determine me to notice them asI now do. They are but minor results of the same cause of apprehension and danger which has assumed a much more formidable hase, and now arrests the grav attention of our coun- . ‘the tederal government is arrested in ita operation, the Representative branch of is disorganized, and the representative principle itself is brought into fg thas by it at this very moment; and in such a orisis a8 this we can hardly descend to look to ita results upon a Vermont Legislature and Executive, tion is called to Washington city, not to Mont- lier. Parties, affitated with those of Vermont who ave sent to us these resolutions, have grown so strong aa to succeed in electing to’ Congress more than one hundred representatives to oppose a mere minority, who are now defending the constitution, ana in withhold- ing from that minority the support of thirty representa- tives more chiefly of the Southern States; and the effest is that the House of Representatives cannot be organized, except upcn terms subversive of the constitution and Union; and the South ia distracted and divided against iiwelf. Is the, design of the plurality disunion’ Is the purpere of the facticn division among ourselves. If 80, 1¢ 18 time that all people and all interests in our country should be aroused to a sense of the fact that the easiest step to disunion is a withdrawal of representation, and that the most potent cause to compel a withdrawal of re- presentation ix to disorganize, distract and degrade re- resent tion. How long shall Virginia be kept waiting for organization on constitutional term#?—how long she sball be kept waiting on disorganization, to ayold being put upon terms of dishonor or being ex, to danger, are questions for her people and lature to de- termine.

States, there have been passed the Fugitive Slave law, #0 called, and the code establishing Territorial government in the free Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, with favi- ting the establishment of slavery therein; and in. fur- therance of this purpose, the citizens of Missouri have been suffered to mvade the Territory of Kansas, in armed bande, aad to prevent thereby the people of said Kansas from making own laws or electing their own repre- sentates, and by lawless force to exclude tuem from ex- ercising any vcice in the government of sald Territory; ana ) the present administration of gener government has lent itself to those iuegal and unjust schemes, and has either openly aided therein, or secretly covnived thereat, and has taten no steps to execute the laws ar to protect the people of raid Territory in the ox- ercise of their constitutional righta thus publicly assailed snd overthrown; and has, upon false preteaces, removed such of its own officers as were not ent subservient to those bad ; and whe eas, the right of citizens of slaveholding States jo hold slaves in, and traa:port them through the free States has of late been asserted, and the act attempted, end in consequence thereof a citi- xen of a sister State has been put in prison under the usurped or grossly perverted power of & ; therefore it ir, tf de Seoate ina House of Representa: tives of the State of Vermont, Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave act of 1850 is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution of the United States, in subversion of the rights, and a t outrage upon'the apitit of a free people, and that the same ought to be im- mediataly re Resolved, That the enactment of the provisions of the territorial code of 1841, which abrogated the ancient pro- hibition of slavery in eaid Territories, and opened them to zs wicked sin eae eis of byes —— ion, was a gross fraud upon the just rights of the — faithless breach of a solemn pa oe ‘of which the slavebolding interest had reaped the full be- nefit—un insult to the free States, and in violation of the patural rights of that it merits the condemna- tion of the civilized we Resolved, That the armed and unlswful invasion of Kanras, by the citizens of Missouri, and their illegal and forcible exclusion of the people of that Terri- tory from all the political nghts to whic they were entitled im the government thereof, for the sole purpose of establishing slavery theremm, under the gemblance of law, was an act of atrocity unequalled in the political history of thia nation, and direct. y subversive of the fandamental principles of repub- lican government, and that the State of Missouri will be justly chargeable as a party to that wrong. unless she publicly and distinctly disavow said acts of her citi- zens, and use every moans in her power to prevent # re- currence thereof. Resolved, That the non-niterference of the federal ad- ministration, to prevent or punish said outrages, justly makes it, in the estimation of mankind, accessory tnere- to, and unworthy of the confidence or respect of free- men. Resolved, That Vermont, while she will In no way assail the constitutional or domestic rights of the slaveholdiag Stutes, will to the utmost of her power a hold and sus- vain the people ot the Territories in their lawful effort to exclude siavery therefrom; tha; she will, at all hazarda, and to the last extremity, resist all encroachments upon the constitutional rights of the States; that to the extent of her ability she will oppose, the extension. of slavery into. and the existence thereof, in the Territories of the United States, and the admission into the Union of an State whore constitution does not perpetually prohibit slavery therein. Resolved, That the slave who treads the soil of a free State by the consent of bis master, becomes thereby at ‘once and fcrever free, and entitied to the exercise of the whole power of the State, when necessary, in the defence of bis treedom. Resolved, That in the opinion of this General Assembly, no District Court of the United States bas jurisdiction to issue writs of habeas corpus, or to rerder judgment thereon, except when necessary to the orderly proceed- ings of tufts pending thereon, or in order to inquire into the legality of commitments made under color of its at thority, and, therefore, that the imprisonment of Pass- more Willismson, under the authority of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, was not warranted by law, and void.

We have had the breathing of war here—a spéck to give us an idea of that which has been tasted before the walls of Sebastopol by the chivalry of France and England—a Yankee duel—nipt in the bud, and the parties in prison, by order of the Cap- tain-General. You will have by the files transmitted at this time a schedule of the new taxes imposed upon our va- rious industrial classes to meet the extraordinary municipal expenses of our city, and to make up for previous curtailments in the process of official and illegal exactions. It is of course better to know what one has to pay than to be liable to the fraud of collectors, &c., although the comisionista of a million and the man who may sell a hundred bar- rels of potatoes in a year have to pay. the samesum for the privilege. If consideration could be had as to the révenue derived and the tax conform- ing per centum, it would be _ better, al- though the capitalists might make considera- ble fuss about it. Our coal vessels are carrying sound furnace munition for our steamers, and the island may be considered safe from the agricultural cultivation of Kinney and Walker. Gen. Yomoloit’s family leave by this steamer to look at the south- west, to learn something of sugar and cotton culti- vation, see the process of your labor in that region, the management of ita hands of toil, their comforts, &c., and thence to ascend the Mi: ippi and Ohio to Cincinnati, on their return to New York, The agents, Mesers. Cahuzac Brother, of the Ca- hawba line of steamers, have made arrangements for those vessels to have a wharf for their service at the sugar warehouses at Regla, on the other side of the bay, from which the passengers will be trans- ferred w and from Havana by the steam ferryboats, which py between that point and the city every fifteen minutes—the baggage of passengers and themselves to be put in the city of Havana without additional charge, after the examination of their baggage by the Custom House officers, which will take place on the other rn while they are prepar- ing to leave the ship. is willbe a great conve- nience to strangers arriving here, and save them from the discomforts of small boats in boisterous weather, and some other annoyances of a petty kind, but which added together make trouble that it is good to have dispersed. So thanks to the new agents, who are as bent news as thoughtful for the enter price in their care here. Chancey and Winn have not yet been transposed to the arsenal, but it is so determined for them—the question is only of time, now, when they may work out their freedom. An hour's attention of the promising President or his expedient Secretary would have saved them from sentence, or at least caused investigation that would have proved that they had been deceived in their original shipment, and therefore not criminal, in fact, of aiding in the introduction of slaves into Cuba. They were pro- vided with a good Christmas dinner, and they still keep the dent's Inaugural as a bon bouche for intelligence in their hours of leisure. They have also been furnished with the life of the General, a very small book, but very perfect in its story— whether Peter Parley’s or not, it is a book written and printed, and after the term of four years five lines more may be added with propriety.

More Political Avrests—A Duel Prevented—Ban- ishment of one and Imprisonment of another of the Parties—Health of Rachel— Theatrical Gos- sip, §e., §c. Although my last letter was dated so recently as the 28th ult., yet as we shall not have a steamship for your port direct before the 8th inst., I write you this morning by the circuitous route of New Or- leans. In addition to the parties whose names were sent you in a recent letter as having been arrested, I have since ascertained the names of two others who were arrested at the same time—Joseph Leniz Martinez and Justo del Pozo. It is scarcely a month since I was introduced to the former of these two gentle men, and thought him a harmless, innocent young man. Senor del Pozo is a native of Spain, with whom [have not the pleasure of being acquainted. There is another gentleman—Julian Andarze— missing. He cannot be traced to any of the jails here, nor has he been sent to Spain, Great anxiety exists as to his fate. Senor Entenza, planter of this island, but who has an 0! in New York, bas more recently been arrested. Julian Andarze, above mentioned, is a citizen of Mexico, who formerly resided at New Or. leans. He returned to this island from Europe about a month since. For pity’s sake do not write in your Heraxp so forcibly about thia island. You Cree Boer | oon | Conch out of tion ant, out hot is propriety bargain, 8 causing the soldados to be harrasced with daily drills aud inspections of arms, Thave heard a rather good but serious joke re- Specting two citizens of the United States, who have been punished for their pugnacious propen- sities. They quarrelled, as I am told, on Christmas day, and a ge to mortal combat ensued and was accepted. The second of one of the parties, who carried the challenge, wishing to prevent the duel, gave information oft to the police. This ill- advised but well intentioned act caused both the ies to be arrested. The sender of the challenge is now in the Hotel de Tacon; the other has been: banished the island. The second who gave informa- tion of the intended duel hag been earnest in his en- deavors to procure the release from prison of his friend, but has not succeeded. The law here against a challenge is of a highly penal nature, the puni nt being no less than ‘a term of years in the chain gang. Rachel, I am py to inform you, is fast recover- ing her health She'has changed her abode from Le Gran’s hotel to one of Senor Marti’s private re- sidences, and the change and quiet have proved most beneficial. It is hoped she will be enabled to appear onthe stage by the middle of this month. The troupe who accompany ner are to appear in an even- ing or two at the Tacon theatre. ini & Nicolo’s circus company have been per- forming to to good houses all last week at the Plaza de Toros.

The character of Diana was admirably sustained by the Dona Ventura Mur, who rendered the music of the part most potainely. I really was not before aware—Deautiful as I kne Castillian language to be—that it was so well adapted to music, or per- haps, I should have written, that there was so mach music in its liquids. B. Havana, Jan. 2, 1856, New Year's Festivities—Grand Entertainment at the Palace—Preparations for the King's Féte, §c. The delay of the Cahawba caused some little alarm, but charging it to your Christmas festivities, we were quieted from serious apprehension. Yesternight was the celebration of the Soldier's Gratitude, at the Cabanas;fortification. Well filled with good food and good wine, and hearts overtlow- ing with loyalty to their Queen, they gave “ vivas” to the clear sky above them, which’ they filled with rockets, sprinkling their stars in the firmament, and the lights of “ Bengola” giving golden lustre to the scene, for all of which they have the blessed privi- lege of paying, by discounts from their pay. Gen. Yomolofl is so well pleased with Cuba, that he is promenading the country, and will not be through with his investigations ‘to leave by this steamer. He dined at the Palace yesterday, in com- pany with his friend, the Bishop—a magnificent ew Year's entertainment given by the Captain General. Preparations are being made for “King’s day,” (the 6th,) which is to surpass all others of the past in the ridiculous and the sublime. Health continues good, and our two or three days of business have given nothing worth advising. D. New Patents Issued.

The Democratic State Convention—Wire Pulling of the Pierce Men—A. O, PB. Nicholson 8“ Pri- vate Business" to Nashville-—The Tennessee Men Determined to Support the “One Term” Principle. To give the readers of the Hexatp an inside view of the Democratic State Convention which was held in this city on the Sth inst., is the object of this letter. It is sometimes refreshing, after a po litical struggle is over, and the smoke has cleared flo! away, to take a survey of the field, in order to ascer- tain whether anybody has been damaged. It is no | Tare occurrence smong politicians that the best con- | head, a youthful cocted scheme of the party intriguer is knocked in | departing the head and laid out a lifelees corpse, when such a | result is least expected. History has recorded many cages of the kind; and now I will add another to the | long and humiliating catalogue. To begin: A. O. P. Nicholson, of the Washington Union, is Calm, cunning and crafty. In the latter part of December he was seen to pass like a spectre through Nashville, and wend his way towards Co lumbia. A few days thereafter tho Her aup spread out to our vision the vicarious character of his visit. This exposure created quite a fluttering amongst the faithful few. They swore that the Heraup’s cor- respondent was a consummate liar, and proved it to their own entire satisfaction by the Wash ington Union. To be more explicit, your | correspondent stated that Mr. Nicholson had left Washington for Tennessee on a Pierce mission--that his main object was to pack a Pierce delegation to Cincinnati, through the Sth of January Convention at Nashville. The Union denounced the statement as a calumny, said that Mr. Nicholson had gone home on “ private business” alone, and that he would return to Washington during the following week. This was the issue. Now for tne facts. Instead of going back to Washington the following week, Mr. Nicholson was here on the 7th and &th inst. Hie “private business” remained un- finished till the convention adjourned, and the very next morning he set out for Washington. Whether he succeeded in satisfactorily arranging the “ private business” that brought him to Tennessee, is not a question that admits of a shade of doubt. We all Know that he left here in gloom, with a flea of no ordinary size in his ear. When Mr. Nicholson reached Nashville, on the evening of the 7th inst.,there were no longer any doubting Thomases in regard to the ultimate pur- pose of hisembassy. It was as clear asa cloudless sky tothe close observers of public men, that he had come out to Tennessee on a two-fold mission— first, to secure the appointment of a delegation to the Cincinnati Convention, who would vote for the renomination of Franklin Pierce; and, second, to have himself placed at vhe head of that delegation. If he should be successful, then he could retarn. to Washington, and not only lay his sweet work before the President, but present himself in awiul majesty to the refractory democratic Senators who have retused to support Nicholson and Forney for public printers, Little did Mr. Nicholson suppose that a hundred eyes were onall his movements. Whilst he was in his room at the Nashville Inn, dreaming of the complete triumph of his precious plans, through the instruamen- tality of friends, a score of demograts were actively enguged in repering: the minds of their associates in convention to thwart his wishes. These gentlemen were successful beyond their most sanguine antici- pations. They believed that they would be able to defeat Mr. Nicholson's aspirations for a seat in the Cincinnati Convention, but they had uo idea of a victory 80 crushing. The delegates for the State at large were selected by Congressional districts, and he received but one district out of ten, to wit, the Nashville district, now represented by Gen. Zollikof- fer! Mr. Nicbolson’s own district, together with eight others, voted against him. It may be said by Mr. Nicholson that he was no candidate for the po- sition. Such « declaration will deceive nobody who attended our convention; because the special friends of Mr. Nicholson were zealously preasing his ap- pointment, and basing their efforts on the ground that he desired it. Who doubts the faet ? Mr. Nicholson not only failed in seearing the posi- tion of delegate to Cincinnati, but the convention adopted by acclamation the following resolutions:— Resolved, That the Hon. Andrew Johnson, by the cou- rage, skill avd sbility with which he bas met bis oppo- nents in the guhernatorial canvaes, the power and force with which he has upheld the prinsiples of the demo- crasic party, bas entivied bioself to the Jasting gratitude of the democracy ot Tennessee and of the Union. Resolved, That in view of the dil ‘of opinion as to the fittest perrons to be selected at Cincinnati as can- Gidates for the Presideocy and Vice Presidency, that it is mort expecient tor this convention not to express any nce for our favorites, but leave to the delegates to weral Convention an unbiassed judgmeat on the whole matier, recommendieg to them the selection of a candidate from Tennessee for one ot these offices, if it can be dove without compromising the general welfare of the democratic party. Tam inclined to think that it would be a source of great amusement to hear Mr. Nicholson’s explana. tions to the President of the above resolves. They earry on their face the first choice of the democracy of Tennessee; and that man is. not Franklin Pierce. Tn additton to this evidencé, it is c onceded on all preference it would have been in favor of Goy. John- son by mors than three to one. Two-thirds of the Sth, di no indication of their choice. These things are not astonishing when we take into consideration the together with his previous canvass for the executive chair. In the two campaigns his competitors were the moet eloquent debaters that canbe found in their et Andrew Indeed, in a keenness of analysis and a d concentration of reasoning, I have r.

While they nctrines and sentiments promulgated by the chief ma ite of the Union in his late mes- sage, they will un: uely oppose his renomination. James K. Polk established the one term principle, and any attempt to depart from it, no matter from what ¢ er it nmay come, will be resisted by his old Tennessee friends—the entire democracy of the State. Sumner. New Wear #estivities in Mobiie. {HE COW-BELLIONS AND PETER STUYVESANT'S ARMY ON TK MARCH. [From the Mole Acvertiser, Jan. 1.) The weather was unfavorable last night for the anniversary celebrations: of our renowned citizen- masquerade societies, but it was not bad enough to restrain the multitude of invited guests from filling the theatre, Odd Fellows’ and Temperance Halls to overflowing, or to deter the still greater multitude of uninvited men, women and children from appropri- ating every foot of platform or elevation of any sort to be found along the principal streets, pavements, and, in not a few instances, the streets themselves. From cgndle lighting until music and torches announe€d the approach of the masqueraders, the crowd gathered bade! ho and eagerness, and when the pageant burst fully upon them they gazed and woudered and wondered and gazed, in “rapt en- chantment” until the processions were out of sight. The first to appear and the most anxiously looked for, was the renowned and almost venerable society of n, JOWBELLION DE RAKINS, who were first observed coming up Dauphin street and celebrating their twenty-fifth auniversary. The subject selected for representation was most unique and beautifal—entirely differing from anything pre- viously exhibited here. The procession was formed into two divisions, the first rey Apert flowers, und baving for its motto, “Fairies use Flowers for their Charactery;” the second, vegetables, and hav- its motto, “For ail the world like a forked h,’ and both combined forming the subject— mated Flora.” The society turned ont nvmerously,aa will be judged from the characters iL justrated. In the first division, for example, we had the laurel tulip, narcissus, lily, water lily, jon- quil, poppy, eee daiay, honeysuckle, great dO! “Anil and tender carrots leaning up to stout melons; lovely flowers smiling by the side of graceful plants. The hands here, that if the Convention had expressed a | primary democratic meetings Feld throughout the | State to appoint delegates to the Convention of the | d for Johnson, and the other third gave | brilliant race made by Goy.

About nine o’cloc! procession reached the the- atre, which was already crowded to excess by the expectant , and which was beautifally and tastefully up and lighted appropriate toa floral festival. The parquette had been nicely floored for the occasion, the whole was lighted by beautiful lan- on Ger manele bject, os “ M3 “ entire keeping subject, and specially. pared for the representation, and when the-ourtain ifted, revealing the company in tableau, the effeet was exceedingly striking and beautiful. In the foreground were ranged: representatives of the kingdom; and circling around these like a crescent were vegetables of every sort known to civilized man. In the immediate ‘Was & prog- trate form robed in black, and, kneeling at hie igure —seprosenting, perhaps, the the Old, and the appearance of the New Year, Lp apis ory pray pl pia pany formed ‘ hands all round” and a mel Jig, after which they joined in the promenade, received the congratulations of their maltitude of friends present. The sunfiower, the lilly, the beet, the potatoe, pumpkin, apple and lima ‘bean were among the moat notable representations, though all were admirable. As there was but a single tableau when the our tain rose again it was to permit the Cowbellians te spestaels nearer the audience, in the general prome- nade, prior to opening the dance, for which mang bright eyes and tiny feet were patiently waiting. The ladies thought it delightful to dance with such comely and courteous floral partners, walking or rather trip- ping bouquets, and even the: more -porty and heavy vegetables were not overlooked by the fair, whose - relish of the substantials is by no means so milghe be imagined. Potatoes and beets and and even the magnificent old pumpkin, big enough to make pies for a whole Connecticut Thanksgiving party, were all objects of much attention and appre- ri in. Merrily and cheerily passed the time until about 10} o’clk. P. M.,when the music ceased—the hosts of the entertainment vanished, then re-appeared on the streets and very soon were gone none knew whither —but they carried with them the best wishes of the numerous assembly who had been so agrecably en- tertained by their representation, and were rei to pronounce the design and its fulfilment a “lit ahead” of ony previous exhibition. A Happy New Year to the Cowbellian de Rakin Society. May they all live to enjoy many more of these pleasant onmi- versaries. ‘The Strikers, next to the Cowbellians in age, and scarcely inferior to them in any other cts, af- terwards made their appearance, being first seen coming down Royal street, with clashing music, flaring torches and numerous standards, imagery and transparencies, pioneers to their masquerade, poe twelfth anniversary. They repre- sented on this occasion PETER STUYVESANT'S ARMY ENTERING NEW AMSTER- DAM, as graphically described in Diedrich Knicker- bocker’s veritable history of New York. To say that this favorite company made a brilliant and ex- cellent display were nothing more than a repetition of what was expressed on every side, as the i cession moved along, and what every one who witnessed their celebrations for the past twelve years is fully prepared to credit. At the head of the procession was a brass band “ discoursing elo- quent music,” and following it came the members, numbering about forty persons, and their attend- ants, bearing aloft numerous transparencies, each having explanations of the characters assumed by the group to which it belonged. First in order of these was borne the large so- ciety transparency, pearing on_alternate sides the inscriptions—‘ Knickerbocker, Peter Stuyvesant’s Army,” “Striker’s Club, Twelfth Anniversary,” &c. “Each group, in addition to the transparencies, bore aloft something characteristic of the ns represented, and their ludicrous appearance was the cause of no little merriment to the lookers on. No better description of this display can well be given than the chronicle of the worthy . histo: who gave the world the history of the origi march. We copy, therefore, from that renowned work as follows:— “First of all came the Van Brummels, who inha- lit the pleasant borders of the Bronx; these were short, fat men, wearing exceedingly large truck breeches, and were renowned for feats of the trencher; they were the inventors of ras el Or mush and milk. Close in their rear marl the Van Viatens, of Kaatskill, horrible quaffers of new cider and arrant. beets in their liquor. After them came the Van Pelts, of Grovelt Esopus, dex- terous horsemen, mounted upon goodly swit:h-tailed steeds of the Esopus breed—these mighty hunters of minks and muskrats—whence came the word Peltry. Then the Van Nests, of Kinderhook, va- liant robbers of birds’ nests, as their name denotes; to these, it report may be believed, are we inde! for the invention of siapjacks, or buckwheat cakes. ‘Then the Van Higgenbottoms, of Wappling’s creek; these came armed with ferrules and birchen. rods, being a race. of schoolmasters, who first dis- covered a rmerealions aya hy between the seat of honor and the:seat of intellect, and that the short- est way to get knowledge into the head was to ham- mer it into the bottom. the Van Grolls of Anthony’s Nose, who carried their liquor in fair round little bottles, by reason they could not bouse it out of their canteens, hat such rare long noses. Then the Gardeniers, of Hu and thereabouts, distinguished by many triumphant. feats,such aa robbing watermelon ae smoking rabbits out of their holes, and the like, and by being great lovers of roasted pig’s tails; these were the ancestors of the renowned Congressman of that name. Then the Van Hoeslens, of Sing Sing, great choristers and players upon the Jewsharp; these marched two and two,singing the great song of St. Nicholas. Then the Cowenhovans, of Sleepy Hollow; these gave birth to a jolly race of publicans, who first discovered the magic artifice of conjuring a quart of wine in a pint bottle. Then the Van Ko land- | ers, who lived on the wild banks of the Croton, and were great killers of wild ducks, being much spoken of for their skill in shooting with the long bow. Then the Van Bunschotens, of Nyack and Kakiat, who were the first that did ‘ever kick with the left foot; they were gallant bush- | whackers and hunters of raccoons by moonlight. Then the Van Winkles,of Harlem, potent suckers f and néted for running of horses, and run- es at taverns; they were the first that ed with both eyes at once. Lastly came erbockers of the great town of Scaghti- the folks lay stones upon the houses in her, lest they should be blown away. e their name, as some say from Knicker, er, a goblet, indicating thereby ‘i rdy toss-pots of yore; but in tru it was derived from Knicker, to nod, and Boeken, : plainly meaning that they were great nod- or dozers over books—-from them did descend the writer of this history.” ie Strikers reached the hall soon after 9 o'clock, where they were met by a large assemblage, and passed a couple of hours in the dance and. prome- nade. Atll P. M., they reformed in procession, assed our office, and wended their way down Dauphin to the river, and we saw no more of them. We rhall not soon forget, however, the good Mynheers they brought to memory from the oli times, when the Dutch took and held New York as well as Holland. THE T. D. 8. Down government street and into Royal marched the T. D. 8., in celebration of their twelfth anniver- sary, and capping a climax to the wonderment of the immense crowd, which, notwi the ex- tremely Papen weather and condi- tion of , had turned out to see the New. Year sights. They presented a fine ance, representing black Tine kighs of the olden time, with bucklers, helmets and lances, and. sureoats and breeches of black; mounted on dark steeds, with black trappings, they came down two abreast as doughty a looking “clump of spears” as ever laid lance in rest to charge the N across os — are tonehee Land, or opel’ jadye’s fame ournament an gece deeds of pa They were a dan; looking array, their visors sternly closed, and k, funereal piumes floating out on the night wind from. their burnished metallic helmets.
