WESTLEY FROS T,
OF FAYETTE COUNTY
IDANDID A TES FOR OF Fit' it:
It seems probable that the opponents of the
Democracy in this county will have "a hap
py
. time" at their approaching nominating
Convention. For the principal office of Sher
iff which it is generally understood is worth
enough for the term of three years, if indict..
ensly administered,,to render a wan comforta
ble for life, there are any quantity of patriots
who would be willing to accept the position
without any great pressing. In this case.
there will be no necessity for the - office to
seek the man"—there are plenty of men seek
mg the office. In the convention, the cont!•st
among the aspirants for the -honor and prof-.
its" of the Sherif - laity promises to he a lively
and excitim7 one. Each candidate has friendi
who can give "reasons us plenty as flackben
ries," why their favorite should be nominated
in preference to all others. '['he race is likely
to be a sweepstakes, and it would tr: a risk)
business to bet on any one candidate agaiazlt
the field as matters stand at present.
For Congressmen,the canvass for the
anation appears to be proceeding wore q uietly
than that for Sheriff. The people seem to he
impressed with the necessity of having prac
tical men in Washington City, and they are
, freely and wisely discussing the availability
and practical utility as national legislators
of the several prominent gentlemen on both
sides of the river, whose names have been
mentioned in - ,,connection with the noniina , .
tion. As the opponents of the Democracy
claim that their,nomivation is equivalent to an
election, it becomes them to place before the
people men who have the right kind of abili
ty and knowledge and influence to do the
largest possible amount of good for their ,-on
stituency.
The Democracy will look on and enjoy the
fun of the scramble among the opposition for
the "leaves and fishes,' and then will place in
the Ileld a ticket which will keep the domi
nant party he dawn to their work on the eke
Lion day. Co ahead, gentlemen, "we shall
see what we shall see."

neat work which treats of distilling stud brew

Feutchwanger, of New York, a gentleman
well skilled in scientific knowledge. It treats
of a great variety of matters which are of
value to the makers and sellers of both dis
tilled and fermented liquors, and to such will
be of great practical utility. Be sides the se b

late departed statesman, the St. Louis Dem
ocrat says that among the numerous tokens of
respect and regard shown on the occasion of
Col. Benton's death and burial, we know of
none more worthy of praise than that exhibi
ted by the Superintendent of the Adams' Ex.
press Company. Mr. Gaither, upon ascer
taining -from the relatives of Col. B. that his
remains were to be conveyed to St. Louis,
immediately tendered suitable accommodations
for that purpose, on boa•d the cars of the
company, and fitted up one expreiialy for
that purpose, draping it tastefully in mourn
ing. Mr. Gaither, the ruperinteudent. took
charge of the rectimns of the deceased pa-,
triut, and accompanied them froth Baltimore
to ucinnati, where his business compelled
bun to remain. He, however, transferred the
charge to .K. Patterson, Es 4 , assistant su•
perintendaut, who brought the body to St.
Louis, and deity , red it to the proper persons.
'these gentlemen paid the most respectful at

show their respect for the, remains of the man
who bad occupied so conspicuous a position in

The Yost, giving an account of the circomsfauces
before Mrs. Peck's loath, said :
Both of them have felt much interest in the
revival now progressing here, and reoently have
allowed religious subjects to so constantly press
upon their thoughts as to prevent them from
eating or sleeping with much regularity. Within
a few days both have manifested unmistakable
signs of insanity, and Mr. Peck, when not under
the influence of chloroform, has had to be hand
cuffed to prevent him from injuring himself and
those about him. Mrs. Peck, as is usual in such
cases, believed that God bad commanded her to
fast, and has thus refused food for several days,
save on . one or two occasions. She had also
imagined that her children had been commanded
to fast ; insisted that they should refuse food,
and was so reckless in her chastisement of them
when they disobeyed hi3r, that she also had to be
confined.

dispute about, s game of marbles. Michael
Naughton, the youthful murderer, was going to a

that the bystanders olt,seTved was that there was

of three inches from the point, chewing what a
frightful wound had been inflicted. The boy
O'Callahan died within about twenty minutes

twelve years of age. O'Callahan is not quite so

tion of war against Paraguay.
Mr. Mallory spoke from good authority that Para

Our Relations with Chins—Commissioner
Heed'■ Instructions
WASHINGTON CITY, April 21.--The instructions to
Commissioner Reed have boon made public. The
Secretary of Ftate informs him of the objcets which
aro understood, and the benefits which the French
and English allies seek to accomplish by treaty stip•
ulations which are recognized by the President as
just and expedient, and su far as you can do so by
peaceful cosupervtion you will aid in their accom
plishment. In conformity with this policy you will
etanuaunicato frankly with the British and French
:Ministers upon all points of common interest, so that
it way be distinctly understood that the three na
tions aro equally influenced by a determination to
obtain justice and by a desire to procure by treaty
arrangements for the extension and more adequate
protection of their commerce and intercourse with
China. But on your side these efforts must be con
fined to firm representations, appealing to the justice
and policy of the Chrineseauthorities, and leaving your
owe government to determine upon the course to be
adopted, should your representations be fruitless.
Special reference is made to your communication to
I I the ministers of tireat Britain and France, not only
fro-u our common interests with these nations in the
trade of China and in the means suggested for its
extension, but because they alone, among the great
powers of the world, have diplomatic representations
at Court It is understood, however, that Russia,
which has long been represented in China by mix
bionuries of religion, have attempted recently to se.
cure the reception there of an accredited minister,
and you may possibly find this purpose accomplished
WtICEI you reach your destination. In that event,
there is no roasou why you sheuol not be on
the same friendly relations with the Russian envoy
as with the representatives of tireat Britain and
France. You are authorized, therefore, to communal
cats with him as far as practicable upon all subjects
of mutual concern. This country, you will hear in
mind, is not at war with China, nor does it seek to
enter that empire for :my ~ther purpose than those
of lawful commerce and the pr tection of the I yes
and property of its eft:zero,.
The Revolution in VEftt7.llCia,

31st received, mention the overthrow of Monagas in
Venezuela to to complete, but his fate is not yet de.
cided ; some were clamoring for his banishment and
others for his execution. Placards were posted in
the streets rehearsing the crimes of the fallen tyrant.
tine gives a list of the robberies perpetrated under
the Monagas rule, amounting to $17,2 , 10,000, of
which six millions and a quarter were by the two
Monagas. It is stated that the American Minister
ad‘ Iced Monagas,:before his fall, to declare Caraccas
In a state of siege and himself Dictator. The
Dutch, Spanish, Frenoh and English a lobsters also
endeavored to prevent the fall. The two latter have
sent to the West Indies for vesso , s of war. It was
thought that the whole diplomatic corps would re
