SURVEYORGENERAL: JOHN BOws; Franklin. JUDGE VONDERSMITH SBNTESCED. On Thursday morning last, at the meeting of the 17. S. District Court, in Philadelphia, Judge Vondebsmith, convicted of forgery of pension papers, &0., was sentenced to pay a fine of $5,000 and to undergo an imprison ment of twenty years! After passing the sentence, Judge Cadwalader said that if the Prisoner would make restitution to the Govern meat by paying over $30,000, he would sign a memorial for the remission of ten years of his imprisonment! We agree with the Philadelphia Bulletin that the sentence is “ astonishing,” and the qualification “extraordinary.” The fine of $5,000 is, probably, fairly inflicted. But the idea of suggesting to a man to restore $30,000 under a promise that he may have a chance of a pardon for one half his term, is an absurdity. If he pays the fine and restores the money (which, by the way, be is not able ato do,) that should be sufficient. But to imprison a man for life, for that is virtually the sentence in this case, and besides ask him to make restitution of the money, is an ex travagant punishment, and, we think, altogether without precedent in criminal jurisprudence. - The Bulletin very properly observes that there iB an article in the Constitution of the United States whichsayß that “excessivebail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Judge Vondershith may safely trust his case to this protective clause. A sentence like this cannot be carried out. — Either he will be discharged on habeas corpus beforp the Supreme Court, or the President will pardon him, and the public will approve of a pardon in such a case. The true ends of justice will be, perhaps, defeated; for the prisoner, who deserved to suffer for the frauds he perpetrated, will esoape punishment alto gether. But this is better than that such monstrous cruelty as this should be practised by the sanction of a tribunal of the United ■ States. THB GREAT BUROPBAN STRUGGLE A war between France and Sardinia on one side, and Austria on the other, is now so probable that news of the commencement of active hostilities, may reasonably be looked for by the next arrival. France and Austria were, at the last accounts, boldly pushing forward their armies, and the Sardinians were eagerly waiting for the contest. Austria had sent an ultimatum to Sardinia demanding her disarmament and the disposal of her volunteors from the other Italian States.— Three days were given her in which to reply, and the time would expire on the evening of the 24th. In case of her refusal, Austria would declare war. It is not probable that this menace would have any effect in changing the policy of Sardinia, and consequently it may be ration ally supposed that the smoke of battle is already arising from the plains of Piedmont. At the first shock the advantage yrill -undoubt edly be in favor of the Austrians, whose superior hosts will quickly overwhelm any force with which Victor Emanuel can oppose them. When the armies of France arrive, then will come the real “ tug of war,” and the contest will be terrible and bloody. The ultimate position of England in this war, can hardly be doubted. She sympathizes with Italy, and for Italy, sooner or later, she will fight. Thus far the colossal monarchy- of the North, to all appearances, views the present condition of affairs in Southern Europe with indifference, and without apprehension.— What the “ inward struggle ” may be none can tell; and the New York Post thinks that Russia will now improve her first real opportunity to realize the proudest dream of four generations of her sovereigns, and while the other great powers are busied with the affairs of Italy, she will seize upon and retain Constantinople and European Turkey. PHILADELPHIA ELECTION. The municipal election held in Philadelphia on Tuesday last was a very quiet affair. The yote was not very heavy, and but little exoitement prevailed. Brown, the People's candidate for City Treasurer, is elected by 2200 majority, and Neal, the candidate of the aame party for City Commissioner, is elected by 2265 majority. The People's party have a majority in both branches of the City Councils. NO MORE COAL AGENCIES. The Secretary of the Navy, in accordance with the law passed at the recent session of Oongresß, has abolished the Coal Agencies.— These positions were amongst the most lucrative under the Government. Coal is to be purchased hereafter as other materials for the Navy. THE GHAMBERSBURG TIMES. Decidedly one of the best looal and family papers (in fact, we know of no better paper anywhere) in Pennsylvania,, is The Times, published by Cook: & Frey, at Chambersburg. Mr. Cook, the editor, seems to be the “ right man for the right place." His editorials give evidence of ability and a vast deal of general knowledge. The paper itself is a model of typographical neatness. By the bye, Cham bersburg is noted for the excellency, spright liness and genuine ability of its press. Destructive Fire. —A destructive fire ocourred at West Chester on Monday morning of last week, about four o'clock, which destroyed the large stables belonging to the Green Tree Hotel, the property of Mr. Guss, and the depot of the West Chester Railroad. Two horses, one cow, about one thousand boshels of grain, add a number of carriages, &0., were oonsumed. The loss of Mr. Guss will reach $5,000, and that of the Railroad about $3,000. The origin of the fire is not known. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, A most disastrous fire occurred at Pittsburg on Saturday, by whioh ten steamers were totally destroyed. The fire originated on the “Henry Graff,” and in a short time that boat, as well as nine others, was burned to the water's edge. The following are the names of the boats destroyed:—The “ Henry Graff,” “ Panola,” “ Jennie Gray,” “ Council Bluff/' “ Jameß Wood,” “J. H. Conn,” “Potomac” “Belmont,” “Cremonia,” and “ Commerce.” The amount of freight on the boats was not large, bu< aome little on the wharf was destroyed. J®»Hon. N.

The following importan t debate Hook placet in the upper house of the British Parliament, on the 18th of April: ? Lord Malmesbury, in calling; the attention: of the House to the state of'affaire on the) Continent, said it' would be fresh in the memory of the Hpuse>that in the beginning of thU year a conversation had occurred which' Bhowed-thst the relations between France and Austria were not on so satisfactory a footing as could have been desired, while the relations of this country with all parts of the world were so encouraging that we were well fitted to take the part of mediators. ,He then briefly reviewed the position of the three "principal Powers in regard to this country, and observed that, although connected with Austria by similarity of race and an ancieDt alliance, the people of this country were alienated from.ber by the policy, which Austria .had pursued .in Italy. No statesman in this country would for a minute deny the rights of Austria— rights which had been acquired by conquest, inheritance and treaty, precisely in the same way as this country held maoy of its own possessions. These rights were secured by treaties which we had signed and which every government was bound to uphold. But a true cause of complaint against Austria arose from her interference with the other Italian States besides Lombardy. In passing to Sardinia, he said that a strong feeling in her favor existed in this country by the assimilation of her institutions to our own, and be regretted that after her noble conduct in the late war she should have so far forgotten that military glory ought not to be the sole object of a government, for it was from this cause that the present difficulties had arisen. ‘lt was difficult, he observed, to understand why. France should involve herself in this question, but France had thought fit to unite her cause with Sardinia, and to assert her right to look into the affairs of Italy in opposition to Austria. Such was the state of affairs in the month of February, at which period Lord Cowley was despatched to Vienna. Thor oughly conversant with the views of the* French government in regard to the Italian question, Lord Cowley bad calmly, and as a friend, discussed the subject with" Count BuoJ. It was a matter for regret that Lord Cowley had not been allowed then and there to mediate, as there would have been more chance of a successful result than at present. Lord Cowley, on his return from Paris, found that negotiations had been going on between France and Russia during his absence, the consequence of which was a proposal from Russia that a Congress of the five great Powers should be held, to which proposal Her Majesty's Government had agreed, as they felt they should incur too heavy a responsibility by refusing. Ootbe22dof March Baron Brunow had proposed to him the basis on which the Congress should take place, to which he (Lord Malmesbury) added the stipulation that the treaties of 1815 should be left undisturbed. To these stipulations the five Powers had agreed, but subsequently two collateral ques tions arose a 6 to the composition of the Congress and the disarmament of the Powers antagonistic to each other. Much discussion had taken place on these points, the latter of which had, he regretted to say, not been yet settled. It was the opinion, however, of Her Majesty's Government that a disarmament was necessary previous to the assembling of the Congress. The Congress was to consist of the'five great Powers ; but, as the questions to be considered affected the social and politi cal importance of Italy, he thought that the different Italian nations should be represented, and it had therefore been proposed that these nations should be invited to attend, and admitted when the Congress wished to hear them. There were two precedents for this course—the Congress of Laybach and the Congress of 1830, to settle the disputes between Belgium and Holland. In such a decision f here was nothing derogatory to the dignity of the Italian States. Sardinia would therefore not be represented in the Congress, but invited with the other Italian States to send a delegate to put its wishes before the Congress. Narrating the different proposals and counter proposals which had been made on the question of a disarmament, he informed the house that Austria and France had agreed to the principle of a disarmament, but differed as to the time and mode of carrying it out.- It was his opinion that it would be much better to submit this point to a commission, in order that on its meeting. Congress should discuss purely political subjects. Sardinia had also been invited to disarm on the same footing as Austria, but refused on the ground of her non admission to the Congress. He regretted that he could not give a more satisfactory account of these negotiations, but it might be presumed that for their own credit the Government had used every effort to avert a war which would be no common one, but would be a theatre for the dreams of the wildest theorists and the most unprincipled adventurers. Lord Clarendon wished that Lord Malmes bury could have made a more satisfactory statement previous to the dissolution of Parliament, in order to allay public anxiety. Assuming, he said, that the various govern ments were sincere, and not pursuing a policy they were ashamed to avow, it was hard to conceive how matters had arrived at their present state. They had all declared their intention of not attacking each other. Eng land and Prussia had done their best to mediate, but still armaments were going on among them. In France everything denoted a campaign ; Sardinia was draining her resources to support her army, and the war spirit of Germany could be hardly repressed; and yet, although they were all clamorous for a Congress, they could not agree on the conditions on which that Congress was to meet. Passing to the discussions that had taken place as to a general disarmament, he thought that matters had gone too far, for none of the parties would now trust each other. If, however, there existed a real desire for peace, the whole business might be con cluded by a Congress in a fortnight. At present it was hard to know what a Congress was wanted for. If it were to alter the terri tories of Austria in Italy, Austria would not recognize the power of the Congress of 1859 to abrogate the settlements of the Congress of 1815. If it were that Austria was to abandon the Papal territory, Austria was ready to do so if France would abandon Rome. He agreed with Lord Malmesbury that Lord Cowiey might have finished this busi; ness satisfactorily at Vienna, if he had had the power. He objected t-o the alteration of the treaties of Vienna, for he thought they had answered their object in preserving the peace of Europe. The object of these treaties, he explained, • had been to to create a barrier against France in the North of Italy, and it was by the universal wish of Europe that Austria had been secured in her possessions there. So far as Austria stood on treaties she ought to receive the support of the other Powers; but 6he had no right to transgress the limits of the territory assigned her, and ought not to be allowed to reduce the other States of Italy to a condition of political vassalage. He considered France was res ponsible for the defeotß of the Papal Govern ment, and he could not imagine a great nation in a more unworthy position. He did not fear the withdrawal of the French and Austrian troops from the Papal States, for he believed that the party of order and constitutional government was increasing in influence in those States. The bubble of Italian unity had at length burst, and the detestible party of Mazzini and his accomplices were almost extinct. He could not conceive what was the neeessity for war. War could not settle the Italian question; for, supposing that Austria waß driven out, and Lombardy was annexed to the Piedmont, the people of Milan and Venice would never agree with* those of Sar dinia, but would be more discontented than they even were now. But, in fact, Piedmont had been nothing more in this matter than the advanced guard of France, and he considered that in case of Austrian defeat only one master would be substituted for another. There was one principle he hoped the Congress would establish—that of non-intervention— for the Italians were quite capable of conduct ing their own affairs. Trusting that Lord Malmesbury would carry with him the whole moral support of this country, he assured him that no party spirit would prevent him from making every allowance for the difficulties of this subject, aiid that he should be only too glad to hear of his success. Lord Derby thanked Lord Clarendon aod Parliament for not embarrassing Government in the present condition of affairs, as the best chance of maintaining peace was that it should ,be well understood by Europe that no differences existed on that point in the English Parliament. There could be no doubt after the stipulation added by the Foreign Secretary to the four points of Baron Brunow, of the intention of this country, and of the four great Powers who had consented to that stipulation, to maintain the treaties of 1815 ; it was, indeed, a sine qua non of the Congress. The coarse taken by the Ministry bad been tme 1 calodlatedtoprevenf war in Europe, - 'but be could not help concurring that there might have been a greater cfaance of success if the matter bad been left in the hands of Lord Cowley, who i bad succeeded in laying down bases on which France and Austria ‘ were disposed to: treat. The proposal of Rußria, from which it was impossible for the Govern ment to have withheld their consent, had introduced all the subsequent difficulties. He quite agreed that it did seem hard to reconcile the expressed desire for a Congress with the military preparations on both sides. Much of these difficulties was due to the King of Sardinia's wordi, that “!a cry of anguish came from Italy, and he 1 could not endure it” When such words, were fused it was not unnatural that Austria should make prepara tions ona large scale, although Piedmont had nothing to fear from Austria as long as she kept within her bnonds.' He agreed with Lord Clarendon os to the ipjurious results of. the treaties which Austria bad entered into with the Italian States, and thought it would be wise for her to reconsider them. In regard to the Papal States, he thought it would be best to leave that matter to France and Austria during the Congress, allowing the Pope a voice in the question. The time was now nearly come,, he said, when it was. a question whether a Congress should be hela at all, and when the terms on which such a Congress should be held ought to be known. The time, in foot, was nearly at hand when England would have to say that the time for trifling had gone by, and she would therefore withdraw from interfering in affairs where sbe could not do so effectually. If there were a war, which, God forbid! it would be impossi ble to confine it to that country; it would extend itself, and involve the world in univer sal' conflagration. It would, iu accordance with treaties, bring the whole of Germany into the field, and it would be impossible for this country to look unmoved on the occupa tion of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, and it would be as impossible to confine such a war within the limits as to foresee who would be drawn into its vortex. The policy of this country in such an event was neutrality —but if neutrality, it must be an armed neutrality; and he hoped that this decision of Her Majesty's Government would meet with the assent of Parliament. He trusted that the storm might pass without breaking. The chance of peace, however, would be immeas urably strengthened in Europe, if it were known that this country would not remain an unmoved spectator of any point in which her honor was concerned. In the nouse o! Commons, Mr. D'lsraeli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, made a statement on the subject of the Italian ques tion similar to that made in the House of Lords. THB EDITORS’ 8008 TABLE.

The condition of the children of Israel, and the wonders wrought by Moses, form the staple of the work’ and as much of the Egyptian history and description Is introduced as are necessary to complete the picture, and give it fullness and unity. Mr. Ingraham has diligently consulted all accessible authorities upon the antiquities and customs of Egypt, and the volume Is the result of long and patient study. Many difficulties attend an undertak ing of such a nature, and justice-to the writer requires that the preface and appendix should be read before the text of the work. The material for the volume, it is proper to say, is drawn from other sources, and the imagination of the writer is employed to fill up, from brief data, a continuous narrative It is a PhenicUn and contemporary view of the scenes and events which we are accustomed to regard from quite a dtfferent stand point It will popularize knowledge upon subjects herotofore restricted to archreologi6t6. This entrancing and instructive book of 596 pages, bound in excellent style, is sold for sl.2s—same price afl •‘The Prince of the House of David.” Mr. Hknrt SnuuERT. of this city, is the regularly authorized Agent for the sale of. this work in Lancaster and Dauphin counties, and is now engaged canvassing the ground.

Petersou A Brothers Philadelphia, has just begun an undertaking, which cannot fall to be beneficial to the whole reading community. We ..allude to the edition of Sir Walter Scott’s novels, now in the couree of publication by them, and which is to be completed in twenty-six volumes, at twenty-five cents a piece, or five dollars for the whole. Thtse volames aro printed in double column octavo, and each will contain about one hundred and twenty-five pages. The entire sett of twenty-six volumes will be mailed, free of postage, to any person remitting five dollars to the publishers. This Is an opportunity, never before bad, for obtaining the Waverley Novels entire, at a price within the means of everybody; for it is the cheapest edition ever published, and for those who remit five dollars, and thus subscribe for the series, secure each volume for lese than twenty cents. The price of the Edinburgh edition, from which this edition is reprinted, is seventy-two dollars. Very properly have Peterson & Brothers called this the “Edition for the Million,” for they ought to get a million of subscri bers to it, iu this reading nation, and doubtless will. Kenilworth, forming the fourth volume of their series of the Waverley Novels was published last week. QUENTIN DURWARD, by Bir Walter Scott. Peterson A Brothers have given us, in the above named volnme, the fifth number of their edition of the works of Sir Walter Scott, and a popular edition it is too, and they have made a tremendous hit with this cheap;edition of the Waverley Novels. There is a constant demand for these immortal productions of the Scottish Shakspeare, and here, at last, we have an edition lor the million—each volume costing but twenty-five cents, and the whole series comprised in twenty-six volumes being furnished for the small snm of five dollars, and sent post-paid to any part of the States. “Quentin Durward”—which teems with romantic incidents and fine portraitures of character—has just been ißsned. Such an opportunity to obtain these glorious fictions has never before been presented to the masses of this country; in no other shape can these works be obt.iined in so desirable a shape for anything like the price.

A thorough test Bhows pure lead ore to the value of 88 per cent., and associated with sulphate of baryta, equally valuable as the lead ore.— Since the discovery, Prof. M. has refused $lOOO per acre for the land, and he has raised $25,000 in Cincinnati, where he formerly resided, to build furnaces and commence mining operations immediately. UNION AND HARMONY, The Douglas and Anti-Douglas Democratic journals of Illinois are growing fraternal.— The Chicago Herald, the leading Anti Dong las paper in the State, declares that if Mr. Douglas is nominated for President at Charleston, it will support him with all its might. It adds that “no true demoorat ‘will bolt the nominations,’ whoever is nominated." On the other hand the Springfield Register, the central Douglas organ, pledges itself to Bupport the nominee of the Charleston Convention, whoever he may be. It will go, it states, for President Buchanan, if he ie re nominated at Charleston upon the old Demo oratic platform of non-intervention.

Formally proclaiming an unalter able opposition to the doctrine of Congression al intervention in relation to slavery in the Territories as advocated by the Republicans in their platform of 1856, for the prohibition of slavery in the Territories, or as advocated by the Administration' Democrats for the protection of slavery in the Territories. Third—Recommending the friends of pop ular sovereignty to vote for no oaadidates at the coming and fnture elections, for County, State, or National offices who refuse to stand clearly upon the doctrine whioh recognizes the principle that the people of the Territories, like those of a State, shall form and regulate their own domestic institutions in their own way. Fourth—Reoommending to the Union State- Rights Demooraoy of Pennsylvania to demand at all times and in all places the adoption of the principles promulgated by the Harrisburg Convention of the 13th of April, 1859, and whioh were enunciated in the Cincinnati platform of 1856, and in Mr. Buchanan’s letter of acceptance. Fifth—That county committees of oorres pondence be created. A committee was appointed to issue an address to the people of Pennsylvania. Speeches were made by all the members of the committee.

The rivers above are aft in ftdr naviga- We condition, and rising rapidly. The Ohio and tributaries* are bank foil, and indeed a perfect flood is running out— -The Mississippi, below, is rising with tremendous- rapidity* *n£ but little prospect of a speed* rabsHrace of the Tatera. At Baton Rouge it is IS inches higher than during the flood oflast year, and several inches higher than during the flood of 1860. large crevasses have occurred at Hen* dereon, which threaten great destruction. In. Madison Parish,!*., there are five crevasses, which have already Arued great destruction will continue to do so until the flood subsides. Prom Memphis down the scene presented is said to be one expanse of waters stretching for miles through the forests and over the plantations, through which there la no locomotion except by skills and rafts. The levees, weakened by the floods of last spring, have been raptured at various points, allow* Ing the waters to pour through In torrents to overflow the low and level bottom lands in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. At Vicksburg, which is situated orr a high bank, the river is sixteen inches higher than it was during the flood of last year. Accounts from the mountains represent deep snows, and should these come down suddenly, the property along the Missouri river alii suffer to a considerable extent, and contribute vastly to the already disastrous flood along the coast below. The bottoms and low lands will produce little or nothing the present year. The crops in the West and Northwest continue to look well, and promise an abundant yield. The receipts of produce continue light, owing to the bad condition of the roads in the country. There been no material change in the market since onr last date. The steam saw-mill, the property of Chas. B Anderson, was totally destroyed by fire a few days since. The mill was the largest in the city-employing about forty men. The total loss on the mill, was s2o,ooo—insurance $3000. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendl ary. Mr. Geo. O. Atherton, Teller of the Southern Bank, of this city, has been arreeted for embezzling money to the amount of $63,000 belonging to the Bank. The Brickmakers of this city have been on a strike for higher wages, and some 1500 or 2000 of them paraded the streets—drove off those who were willing to work and destroyed property to the amount of $4OOO or $5OOO. The military were ordered out, but theirservices were not called into action. The strike was kept up for four or five days, and finally, vnthout gaining their point, were obliged to go back—the leaders of whom, however, were refused their old places. And thus ended, peacably what was at one time a threatening rebellion. We have all kinds of accounts from Pike’s Peak. Some 1 say the miners are making from $1 to $3 per day, whilst others say no money can be made in the mines—that the mines do not average 35cts. per day, and that many of them are in a starving condition. They have no money to get away or they would leave instanter. Mules and horses that cost the emigrants $lOO and $l5O in the States can be bought there for $lO and $25 por head. Great suf fering is now prevailing there, and is daily Increasing. Some time has elapsed since we reported any very great or alarming steamboat catastrophe, but to-day, we regret to add, that unpleasant duty devolves upon us. On the 24th ult., seventy-five miles below Memphis, on the Mississippi river, the steamer St. Nicholas exploded her boilers with a terrific crash, carrying death and destruction to nearly all within its fury. The accident occurred about 10 o’clock at night. Immediately after the explosion the boat took fire and burnt to the water’s edge. The steamboat Susquehan* na was near by, and rendered every assistance to the suf ferers, who were floating in the river and clinging to ropes, boards, and other articles scattered promiscuously around the horrible-scene. Many clung to the burning wreck.— The Susquehanna was compelled to keep & considerable distance from the wreck, as the wind blew a stiff breeze in her direction, and many sunk to rise no more ere relief could be given. There were, we believe, but seven lady passengers In the cabin—six of whom were lost. Miss Ella Kennedy, cousin of the clerk, (Mr. Glime,) of Brunswick* Mo., was saved by fortunately clinging to a ring-bolt In the hull, and holding to the same until rescued. She was but slightly burnt. There were a large number ofoattle and hogs on the St, Nicholas, nearly all of which were blown overboard, and were seen swimming in every direction—.the most of them however, were drowned. Capt. McMullen, the commander, was In the pilot house at the time of the explosion, his fall, a piece of the deck fell upon his feet. Several who saw him, tried to extricate him, but the flames spread so rapidly that they were forced to desist, and compelled to stand by and see him burn to death, witness .his intense agony and hear his dying gro&nß. Mr. James Wood, first cook, of Allegheny City, Pa., was caught between the wheel-house and hull, and fie, too, was burned to death, In sight of men, who made every ex ertion to save him, but In vain. Mr. Gillum, the second clerk, found himself, wheu he awoke to consciousness, on his mattrass, floating In the middle of the river, at least one hundred yards from the boat; he reached the shore without assistance, and is badly scalded and burned, but is thought will recover. Mr. Glime, first clerk, was la the Pilot House with the Captain, was badly scalded and has since died. The clerk’s wife, and two female cousins were on board, his wife and one pousln,Miss Dunnica,are among the lost, and the other, Miss Kennedy, was rescued by hanging on to the hull of the boat. There are sevenlyjlve reported dead and missing. The scene is described as being moat horrible to look upon. We have still another steamboat disaster to chronicle.— Tho steamer Mink, belonging to the United States, bound to some point on the Missouri .river with army supplies, encountered a snag about 25 miles above St. Joseph, and sunk. She had a large freight, and is supposed, with the boat, to be a total loss. The Mink was but two years old, and worth about $20,000. We have heard ofnolossoflife. And yet another boat gone to the bottom, with the loss of several lives. On the 22d ult., the steamer Eolian bound from this port to Minnesota river, was sunk by the ice in Lake Pepin. The accident occurred about one mile below Lake City, near the middle of Lake Pepin. The boat was sunk in thirty feet water, and the cabin had floated off when the Gen. Pike passed down. The Eolian started into the Lake early on Friday morn ig, while the lake was covered with large fields of float ig ice. The wind became high, and she was crushed be veen the heavy masses, and went down immediately. It is reported that Beven lives were lost by this accident. The boat was valned at $5,000 or $6,000. The Eolian with her cargo are irrecoverably lost. The above Is a sad chapter of steamboat disasters. Last week we promised to continue our political gossip on the leading statesmen mentioned in connection with the next Presidency. In our last we referred to but two— Messrs. Douglas and Guthrie. To-day we have R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia. A good and sound Democrat, but his chances are not as lair now, as they no doubt will be at some future period. Senator Hunter would find a strong opposition in his own State, as he would In the North, generally,jand we think could not do as well in Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, as either Dong las or Guthrie. Senator Hunter would suit the South, and and carry It entire—if he could manage to make certain his own State. Senator Slidell, of Louisiana, we would place in the same category with R. M. T. Hunter. Mr. Slidell Is, without .doubt, stronger and more popular away from his Immedi ate home. The chances would however, be great against him in the North and New England States. But as a southern man, however, he would have no fears of the electoral vote of the South, but his chances north of Mason and Dixon’s line would be nine out of ten against him. He would make a most excellent Vice President. Next we come to the name of Hon. Jas. 8. Green, of Mis souri—a man of great ability and firmness, and although young in years, yet ripe in experience. We don’t think Mr. Green has any particular ambition for the Presidency just now—he is young, as we have before said, and can afford to wait. Were he the nominee of the Democratic party, he would roll up such a vote in the South, as would make the entire North tremble; whilst our sister States ot Illinois, lowa and Indiana would join in the shout for “ Green.” Geo. M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, has many warm politi cal friends, but the people seem to think a younger man should bear the Democratic Standard in the great straggle of 1860. Mr. D. 1b an unobjectionable man to the South, and the South would rally its strength upon him, but we fear the North would prove a laggard in his behalf. Penn sylvania is where he would have to look to for his Northern support, failing to get it there, he would in all probability fail to win the race. Next we find the name of Gov. Henry A. Wise, of Vir ginia—the great and conquering warrior in the hotly con tested straggle against Know NotbingiHm. Gov. Wise, would prove a strong manlo s»me parts of tbs South, and in others, where Know Nothingism is strong, he would lack the strength of all tho others above referred to. The Know Nothings will never forgive him for being the first —the entering wedge to their destruction. We can hardly form a plausible idea of what Gov. Wise would do. were he, by any possibility, nominated at Charleston. Mr. Seymour, of York, a statesman in every sense of the term; a Democrat, true and tried, finds hosts of friends all over the West. If the candidate is to'come from the Northern States, Mr. Seymour’s Chances are as good as the best,and what is more, if nominated would be elected. His, probably, are tho beat chances in the State of New York—but as that State will not hold the balance of pow er, he can reach the Presidency without his own State. He would carry Indiana, Illinois, lowa, (perhaps), Minnesota, Kansas, California and Oregon, and with better prospects in the other free States, than any other yet named, whilst the South would cast a solid, unbroken vote for him. We will take occasion in our next briefly to refer to other gentlemen named in connection with the Presidency on the Democratic side. The Brownsville (Tenn.) Jottmalfla out for Hon. James Guthrie for President. Many of the Democratic papers of Indiana, are speaking of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks as the next candidate of the party for Governor of that State. Hooslerdom is noted for her gallant Democracy, but of all the true and tried men, says the Louisville Qjurier, Mr. Heodricks has uo supe rior. Borne of the Southern “ American ” papers are opposed to forming an “ opposition” party to the Democracy in the South. The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Monitor, one of the ablest Know Nothing papers in the State, repudiates the new movement In the South to form an*“opposition” party against the Democracy, to give aid and comfort to the Abo litionists of the North, which is headed by Seward, GreSly, Glddings & Co. We hardly think the “ American ” papers South will encourage the scheme. . Yours, OLD GUARD. _...... BPBOUL NOTICES. . Sufferer* with Dii«aiei of (he Blad der, Kidneys, Gravel.
