Sir: A late number of the IUleigh Regis ter charges that I have gone over to the Lo- coiocos,' ana mat in consequence, there is a bargain that Gov. Keid and myself are to be chosen Senators. A similar statement has been-made, I think, in the Star, and Pome other papers. It is well known that I aio not in the . habit of noticing the faUthoods that are issued from time to time by such or gans. .If I take a different course on the pre sent occasion, it is not because I think it ne cessary to defend myself, much less Gov. IJeid, t!om:sucn an allegation, out lor a uuierent purpose. I do not address this note to anv one of these papers; because they have been for years in the habit of publishing misrepre sentations and falsehoods against me, while they have carefully abstuneo! from publish in mv own speeches and letters that would have refuted their allegations, and therefore I have no room to suppose that they would willingly give place to any statement of mine. I may remark in passing, that for many years they have asserted that I have gone over to the Democrats, tc. These declara tions 'were particularly vehement when I took a stand against Gen. Scott, and they profess ed great joy that I had Liken open ground against them, ke. During the last contest for Congress in the State, I was classed .is a "Iocofocon candidate. It is true, however, that as 6 con as the election was over, as on former occasions, they claimed me as a whig member, thereby admitting that the public had to faith in their assertions. Some week since, 'iu the classification of the votes on the Xebraska bill, I was set down as a 4locofoco." They how afixcl to have suddenly ascertained that Iihad, for a oofc idration of political ad vantage to -toy seIC -joined the Democratic party or at leji4 agreed to co-oporate with them in the Seiraloiial election. These edi tors ought, M least; to admit the fa'sity.of their former charges, before .they can eiect to obtain forgiveness and credit to their pre sent oae. If I was formerly indifferent to their at- J tacks, 1 have still more room to be so from their late conducL I Whjile hypocritically professing friendship fur the Nebraska bill, they have insidiously, and in the most cowardly manner, made war on thJ measure. Nay more. They have as sailed "the brave and patriotic nirn of the North, who, amid all the storms of fanaticism and sectiouabdeuunciation,' have hrmly and f I ant v inarclieU torwaru an-i earned the bill, exhibiting as much courage and magnan imitv as was ever shown on the bloodiest bat- tin h.-l.l Wfll knowing that everv wiul' from the free StaU-s wa3 against the measure, and that it wa supjorti-d by the Administra tion, and a majority of its Northern friends, thv nevertheless gave all the "aid and com fort"' thev could to the former, and made war on the latter. Yes, during the great strug gle to;restoro the South to equality in the UnionJ they have been denouncing tho gene roil mn of the North w-ho came to our aid, becau-ie they w ere not able sooner to pass the bill, by reason -of the fierce oprxsition of thosA. whigs whom they were praising and defending. ruoFKSSi.vo friendship for the measure, they still helped its enemies, and railed Kt its friends, because of the difficulty they found ir. overcoming the opposition. During our revolutionary struglp, what wouhl hve been thought, if o professed wmo rAi'Eit, that had continual to praise the Bfiti-di army hal assailed our ally France, Ikc;iu! she did not s.oner put nn end to tin war; and that had abused Lifavett anl his gallant comrades, because they could uot at once derive the British out of America? Anc. yt-1 the conduct of such a journal would not have leen in anywise more igno.niii'ously bas han the course of the jiajers I have refernjd to. They must meet with cotrempt and degradation -wherever truth and honor have fame. , With respect to the Senatorial position, it is known that at the last session of the Legis 1 lature I a large majority of the Democratic members voted for me for that station. To these gentlemen, and to my friends among the whigs, and to others of both parties, who stood ready to vote for me if another ballot could have been had, I am ever ready to ex press my sense of "obligation. I trust that no act of tniue, either as a public roan or in the walks of private life, will ever cause any one of .thesegeotlcmen to regret his past friend ship, df "thereiiMther persons who are in doubt as to my position I refer them to my arts ml speeches as a r)uUic man. As to . 1 . -it : r.. whether any contingency win ane m me m- ture, that will place me oeiore uie puoiu; ior such astation, it would bo , unbecoming, my part to express an opinion. Should I ever, at any kime, bo so fortunate as to obtain the position of Senator, my elevation win no; w . . .. owing to intngue or comoinauon wiui one, but to a belief in those making the elec tion that the interest and honor of the State could be safely confided to my keeping. ery respectfully, ; T.

Weevil in Grain--IIow to Hesfroy. Messrs. "Editoes. I read an article in one of vour numbers which spoke of keeping the Fiuck on com in oraer to prevent mo weevn. Ivfjeping the shuck on the corn is the best mode, of preserving the corn sweet and clean, and it also prevents the weevil; but wheat and other grain cannot be conveniently preserved in the shuck. I will give a method by which the weevil may bo prevented -from doing dam age to wheat or other grain. It is cutting the youn (or growth of the same year) ol the sassafras ami placing a few branches in the box containing the wheat. It will be pre served for three or for years entirely clear of weevil. If you thiuk that this will benefit, or interest your readers you may insert it in the Cultivator, if not, you raav treasure it up. ; ; J. M. SJ Aunt Hetty's Advice.

I warrant every one i.f you'll try it thn first chance you get, there's a so rt of bewitchment alout it, somehow. A frightful attempt was made by. a negro man to blow up the gas works at Richmond Vh., last Saturday morning. It appears that h was a blailksmith Hnd worked in the building but was dissatisfied' because he had been sold to a gentleman of Mississippi. Regardless of the consequences to himself, and the lives and property of those around him he watched an opportunty when every body else was absent from that portion of the building, and applied a'fighted match to one of the purifiers. The lids of both purifiers were blown off, and when found, the mutilated remains of the head-strong negro were lying several feet distant with frag ments of the heavy lids.upon them. His head and breast were crushed, and both his legs broken. Fortunately he was the only victim of his diabolical act. ? 4n Found Dead.

The Beautiful iTIaiiiac. - "The first that on . my bosom preys, ; Is lone as some volcanic isle, No torch-is kindled at its blaze A funeral pile!" In the morning train from Petersburg there was a fady, closely veiled m the same car with ourselves. She was dressed in the purest white, wore gold bracelets, and evidently be- longea to me nig nest circles ot society.' Her figure was delicate, though well developed, and equisitely symmetrical; and when she oc casionally drew aside her richly embroider ed" veil, the glimpse of the feature which the beholder obtained, satisfied him of her extreme loveliness. Beside her, sat a gentleman m deep mourning, who watched over her with unusual solicitude, and several, times when she aitempted to rise he excited the . curiosity of the passengers by detaining her in her seat Outside the cars all was confusion; passen gers looking to baggage, porters ruuning, cab men cursing, and all the usual hurry and bustle attending the departure of a rail road tram. One shrill warning whistle from the engine and we moved slowly away. At the first motion of the. car the lady in white started to her feet with one heart-pie-cing scream, and her bonnet falling off dis- closed the most lovely features we ever con templated. Her raven tresses fell over her shoulders in graceful disorder, and, clasping her hands iu prayer, she turned her dark eyes to Heaven! What agony was in that look! What beauty, too what heavenly beauty, had not so much of misery .been stamped, upon it! Alas! one glance told a melancholy tale. ; "She was changed As by the sickness of a soul; her mind Had wandered from its dwelling and her eyes They had not their own lustre, but the look Which is not of earth; she was become The queen of a fantastic realm; her thoughts Were combinations of disjointed things, And forms, impalpable and unperceived Of others' sight, familiar were to hers." Her brother, the gentleman in black, was unremitting in his efforts to soothe her spirit. He led her back to her seat but her hair was still unbound and her beauty unveiled. The cars rattled on, and the passengers in groups resumed their conversation. Sudden ly a wild melody arose; it was tiie maniac s voice, rich, full and inimitable, iler hands were crossed on her heaving bosom, and she waved her body-as she sang: with touching pathos ; 'She Is ir fmm the. Linrl whom Tier vounff hero And lovers around her are sighing, Sleeps, liut coldly sne turns Irom tneir gaze ana weeps, For her heart in Ins grave is lying! She sings the wild songs of herjiear native plains, Everv note which he loved awaking Ah! little they thinkrwTio delight in their strains, rr ii . a. f ii 1 V 1. -l ?' ITaw tlio 1wi i-f nf Vi niinvtrl ia VirpfllriTlc!" Tier brother was unmanned, and he wept as only man can weep. The air changed, and she continued "Has sorrow thy young heat t shaded, As clouds o'er the morning fleet! Too fast have those young day.- faded, That even in sorrow were sweet! If thus the unkind world wither Each feeling that once was dear; Come, child of misfortune! come hither, I'll weep with thee, tear for tear." ' ... She then sung a fragment of the beautiful hymn "Tesus, lover of my sonl, Let me to thy bosom fly.;' Another attempt to raise up was prevented, and she threw herself on her knees beside her brother, and gave him such a mournful, en treating look, with a plaintive "Save me, my brother! save your sister!" that scarcely a passenger could refrain from weeping. Again the poor benighted beauty raised her be witching voice to one of the most solemn sacred airs ,;0h! where shall rest be found, Itest for the weary soul!" And continued her nelancholy chant until we reached the steamer Mount Vernon, on board of which we descended'them,ignificent James river, the unhappy brother and sister occupying the ladies' cabin. His was a sor row too profound for ordinary consolation; and iio onejlared to intrude so far upon his grief as to satisfy his curiosity. We were standing on the promenude deck admiring the beautiful. sceneryr of the river, when at one of the landings" the "small boat palled away to the shore with the unhappy pair, en route for the asylum at . She was standing erect in the stern of the boat, her head still uncovered, and her white dress and "raven treeses fluttering in the wind. The boat returned, and the steamer moved for Norfolk. They were cone! that brother with. bis broken heart, that sister with her melan choly union1 of beauty, and madness. , ; A Member of Congress in a bad Way, 4 i , During the debate on Tuesday,' on the re-( solution fixing a daj for adjournment, Mr. Ew ing a gallant and talented young Kentuckian, thus humorously expressed his grievances: j I want to get away from here, for one, and I believe that the people. are willing to see us go away, I would rather adjourn sine die than take a recess. : It is rather a novel experiment and I do not know how it would suit," But I want to get to some place where I can sleep oT nights,' Renewed laughter.

Sen tinel, writing from San Francisco, tEns de scribes some of the peculiarities of that city: - "Ttjis is probably the fastesttown, occupied by the fastest inhabitants, vnow existing. Men, women, horses, dogs, cats and rats (there are 100,000 rats for every human being) kre run ning up the, street and down the stree a if a battalion of devils were after them.

I think I saw about half a peck in one window. A dentist has for a sign an immense coral tooth, look ing as if it had just been extracted from the gum of a Titan.
