Vmoi.MA.—Gen. Pierce seems to have luade n mistake in the omission of Virginia in the selec-, tion of his Cabinet. The Uiohniom* hig says: j “The Washinstdn corrospoivlcnt of tlic Kn- : quiror a fow days since, in coinfortinjj himself tor the exolusiiiii of Vii iiinia from the (_ abinct, an- UMUiK-oJ witli a Joyful tone, that that omission wouhl enal.h' Vir^'iiiia to claim a lar«re number of inissi(nis, cliar^resiups, consulships, clerkships, &c. No SDonor said than done. We learn from the Nortiicrn papcMS ajtd other sources, that there are (juite enough F. F. V’s on hand to fill all the posts at home and abroad iu the gift ot the I’resi- dcnt. Of those m(*ntioned and liki'ly to receive olhce, we liear the followini;: Mr. K- 1“^- Meade, Minister to l*cru; Mr. iH'dinirer, Minister to I cn- tral America; Mr. Ho. J'cott, Consul to liio; Mr. Lieut. Cov. Leake, Consul to Sandwich Is lands; Mr. Kitdiie of the Kmiuircr an.l .Mr. White of Hanover arc both sjtokcu ot at desiring the Char*:cshii> to Naples; Mr. .John 8.

It is observable tuat lio nu'ntidu is made of late of any provision tor Mr. Henry A. Wise, or Kx-'.o*v. Fh.yd—two gentlemen, who, it is sujiposcd, would re!i.'h a jMotitable conne.xion with uncle Sam s Use as much as aiiv of their t-otempnraries. Wc should lie triad if these and all others who desire oHi -e, could be provided for by the I'cderal (Jovcniment. It wouM be a great relief to t>ld Viririiiia—who has tjuite as many burdeiis as she can bear.” We thouiiht a stmnpiilf aiiiong the multitude of huusiry ollieo-seckers at \\ ashiiigtitii iiad taki’ii }.lace by this time; but they hold on like trrim death, according to the accoujit ot the WashitiT- leu corrcspoiub'iit of the Soutlisiib^ l)eiinHTaf, who draw> a vi\id picture ot the I'perati-ms i>t the ofl'icc-scekcrs abiuit the ( apitol.

The Boston Post, in a biographical skctch of the new Attorney General, say.s: “Judge Cnshing’s support of the late and pre sent policy of tlie i)ciiiocracy properly eominencetl in the admiuistration of President lyler. He gave at that time in Congress a bold advocacy to the vetoes ot tlie bank. Vcrv true, Mr. Post, but why not inform your readers that Mr. ('ushiiig gave a “bohl advocacy” to the ifarlt\ as well as to the vetoes? This would have .sounded awkwardly, we admit, but wlu n you undertake to write a man’s biography, you are not only bound to tell thr truth, and | nothing but the truth, but the whole truth.

Our Southern frierds seem to be quite aware of the fact that an e ,d can sometimes be accom plished in more ways than the direct one, as is illustrated by the instance we n(»w publish. In the liegi.elature of Texas the propo.sition to which the ftdlowiiig report refers wa« cfl'cctually pnt at rest by the laugh created by this ji u d e^pril; and, lest any of our readers should, from it.s ex travagance, be led to doubt its authenticity, j state to them that it is extracted from the 4’iith paiie of the Journal of the Legislature ot lexas of the last session. Mr. Merriman made the following report: To iht' IWsitfnif i/ tlir Srnatf: The Judiciary CfMumittec, to whom was refer red the resolution ri'(|uiring .said committee to in vesti:ate the expodieiuy the collcction of debts Iu Stat«', and to n'port the tion to the Senate, have sidcration, and find the subject-ma(ter thereof very subtle, excoedingly metaphysical, and troubh'- some of solution.

From a late work called “Isis, or an Egyptian Pilgrimage, by J. A.

A’/'a. W Two weeks .'iiK-e fi little affair occurred at ()ber- lin. which, to w-iy tin* |eat, was a sintrnlar one. 'J'wo old wiiinen, slaves, wlios'^nie two years >inee were s nt out of Virginia to j>rcvent their sale for debt, had found a home at Obcrlin. They had several tini's written tlieir former master that they wi'iit‘(l to return to him, and at b'li^th their rtMjuest beeame so urt'ent that he visited ()berlin. Here was an epportunity for excitement, which was readily ciiiliraccd by the earnest abolitionists of the fainoii' town. It was determineil that the slaves .should not return, and the master was so inforiiied. He replied that he bail come at their own soli(-itation, and not because he wi'hed the women; aud that he had no ♦iesire to take tlu iu back nnb’ss they di-sirel to jro. If th(‘y did so th y would iro and he should take eare of tlieni. Every argument wa^ used to induee th in to .-tav, and a corres[iondent of the ‘‘Obcrlin Times,” a rank abolition sheet, says: “^Ve endea\ore(T to put the matter befun; tle-ni in its prupi r lijdit. We dwelt upon the possible contingencies in tiie ease. The possibilities of another execution upon their master’s property, itc. I'^e. It was all to no jtiirpose.” The writer adds: “These slaves, from the time they came among us, have b(>en lie.siroiis to return to their osrners. They have written them for this purpose. We are not surjirised that the .slavehold er hhould come for them.

H'trnuni’s /*r>>jirt.—A new project has i'cen suggestel by Harnum, which we should like to .see tried. In a recent temperance speech made by him in New York, he stated that there were 7.O0U grog shops in the city, with an average custom in each ot probably «lOaduy. He made* the following oti. r to the city, viz; If the city wi uld shut up all the gr(gg(jrie.‘«, and give him the amount s]>ent in all of them, he would pay all the city taxes, amounting to S4,000,000; send every cliibi to a gool »ehH)l; pre.sent every family with a library of lOO good bof»ks, three barrels of flour, and a silk dro.ss to every femalo, old or young, and give every body a free ticket to his luuaeuuj. executive patnmaire now tramjilcd under loot.— Cuhiiii: went to China, and on his ri turn ascer tained that the attempt of his patron to build ufi a third party had failed most si/iially.
