Our attention has been directed to the sub ject of raising the salaries of our State Officers. We have long entertained, and frequently ex pressed, the opinion, that they were much too mall. As a general thing, we do not approve of the Balariea of public officers being so high as to render the stations they occupy objects of mer cenary competition, but, most certainly, the pay should bear at least a respectable propor tion to the expenses oonnected with those sta tions. In our own State, the pitiful salary of our Executive bardly enables the incumbent to dispense the very hospitalities that appropri ately appertain to his mansion, much less to cover the domestic expenses attached to every household. To say nothing of the fact, that many a man, who would adorn and dignify the station, andwhq would reflect credit upon the State, is thus deterred, by considerations of pe cuniary caution, from giving td the people, when they ask it, the benefit of his talents and his services, such a parsimonious policy is not at all calculated either to exalt the importance of the post, or to enhance whatever reputation the State may enjoy for a liberal appreciation of official merit. Besides, it should be taken into consideration, that under the custom which has prevailed in North Carolina for many years past, a custom of most questionable proprie . ty, requiring candidates for the Gubernatorial Chair to canvass the State, the heavy expenses incident to a campaign make a formidable in road-upon the salary of the Governor, previous to his installation. If we are not verymuch mistaken, North Carolina pays her Governor, and other State Officers, less than any State in the Union Rhode Island and Delaware, perhaps, excepted. The State of Louisiana, inferior to our own in population and resources, pays quite three times as large salaries ; and even the Mayor of one of our larger cities commands a higher re muneration for bis services, and a more liberal provision for the support of the dignity of his position. The duties of our State Officers are accumu lating, every day, as our resources are being expanded ; and their salaries should be com - mensurately increased. We may not always be so fortunate as to secure the services of such men as some of those who have already served the State in public capacities, than whom no State can boast a prouder array ; but we should not force those to come, as, doubtless, we have heretofore done others, to pay for the privilege of ".doing the State some service !" The Right Spirit. The " Boston Journal " has some interesting remaks upon the subject of Agricultural Fairs and Agricultural Improve ment, from, which w e learn that the State Gov ernment of Massachusetts has for sometime past been paying large bounties, in the shape of premiums, from the treasury. Last year, through the agency of various societies, the amount was no less than $8,782. Their chief benefits, (says the " Journal,") do not consist in the temporary enjoyment which they pro duce among those who witness or participate in their proceedings, but rather in the information which they,diffue and in the spirit of enter prise and healthy emulation which they incul cate among the cultivators of the soil. They nlso conduce materially to the introduction and raising of superior breeds of stock, both im ported and native,- and to the adoption of im proved systems of cultivation. They bring to the attention of the farmer new imple ments of agriculture and labor saving machines for the house and dairy ; and, inasmuch as the product of the farm is increased in quantity or . . . quality, or the labor of raising it is lessened, by these new systems and implements, so much is the art of agriculture advanced towards perfec tion. The farmer's wife and daughters, too, although they may have no strong cattle, beauti ful horses or fat pigs to exhibit, nevertheless, in a laudable spirit of pride, love to spread abroad, through the medium of the fair, the proofs of their prowess in the dairy and oven, and of their skill and ingenuity with the needle. The Aland Islands. The self-glorification of theuAUied Armies at their solitary victory is only exceeded by their perplexity in dispo sing of their conquest. Tbey seem to be in the predicament of the unlucky gentleman, who won an elephant at a raffle. They have got their elephant, it is true, but the question is what they shall do with him. They cannot afford to keep him, they have failed in their at tempt to give him away, and are somewhat ashamed to desert him. To help them out oi this dire dilemma, we suggest that they humbly beg of Nicholas to take him back again. Per haps if they agree to make Bomarsund "as good as new," the Czar might accede to the re quest. The rebuilding of this fortress with the "Tubbish" left there would be easy, and might Berve a very useful purpose. Nothing is so de moralizing to a military body as want of occu pation, and -the sailors of the fleet would per haps find it as diverting as Admiral Napier's theatrical entertainments, while the French En gineers wtuld obtain a field for the display of the science they had acquired of the Ecole tolytecniqne t- THE FILLMORE WHIGS OP NEW YORK. " We believe nothing is lost by frankness, and we may as well speak plainly. If the Convention which meets to morrow shall pass resolutions for the repeal of the Compromise of 1850, we will repudiate them. If it shall make the repeal of the Nebraska act a part of the platform, we shall go against it ; not because we consider such repeal undnsirable, but be cause it is utterly impracticable, and we will consent to run no wild goose chase after unat tainable objects. If the Convention shall say, without qualification, that we must admit no more alave States, we will not be bound by its dictum ; for although we were, at the time, op posed to the admission of Texas, we recognize and are ready to fulfil the obligations the coun try incurred in the consummation of that act. We consider our obligations to the country su perior to our obligations to narty, and we do not hesitate to declare that we will lend our selves as accomplices in no scheme for the up holding of a party at the expense of public faith and public honor." We copy the foregoing from the " Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier," published in the place of Mr. Fillmore's residence, and acknowledged to be the organ of his sentiments. We have no idea that Mr. Fillmore, or his friends, will support the ticket or countenance the platform that the confederates of Seward foisted upon the recent Whig Convention at Syracuse. We say this upon the faith of the declarations copied above. The " Courier," it will be seen, distinctly and explicitly informed the Convention, previous to its assembling, that if the repeal of the Compromise measures of 1850 was decided upon, it would repudiate it it the repeal of the Nebraska bill was made a part of the platform, it would go against that ; and if it was determined to oppose the admis sion of any more slave States into the Union, it would agree to no such conclusion, but would sternly resist "it. This, we take it, is the pre cise position of the Fillmore party of New York. Is it reasonable to suppose, therefore! that tbey will unite with Seward, support the election of his minions, and aid in the consum mation of his nefarious projects ? There is nothing in common between them. Their aims, their objects, their principles, their very natures are all antagonistic, and the idea of their acting harmoniously together, especially upon ques tions involving the constitutional rights of the South, is simply absurd. We shall look with pleasure upon the defeat of the Syracuse ticket. We have been, still are, and always expect to be, strong and zeal ous partisans, but, with our friends of the " Richmond Whig," " we trust we are incapa ble of cherishing a single, thought of party, when the country is, perhaps, on the eve of a contest in which the Constitution, the Union, the Rights of the States, and Republican Free dom, itself, are involved." Whigs and Demo crats alike we account as common enemies, if tbey raMy around an anti-slavery standard, arouse the fires of a sectional conflict, and make war upon the institutions of the South their aim and object. We trust, too, that the Admin istration Press of the South, those valorous and chivalric spirits, who, in 1850, 8a w so much danger to the South in the person of Millard Fillmore, the patriot and the true man, will be found battling by our side, undisturbed by any melancholy apprehensions as to what may become of the offices, meanwhile ! The loaves and fishes, we submit, should not be an object of too grave solicitude, when the Union of the States and the rights of the States are both In jeopardy, and demand for their security tb exercise of all rightful feelings and the sacri fice of all wrong and selfish ones ! MJeW The New York "Herald" has a scathing article upon the diplomatic career of Soule ; remarking, meanwhile, that his has not been worse than that of Borland. But how instruc tive a commentary upon the judgement of Pierce and Marcy, it observes, does the conduct of both present ! now can our other ambassadors, it proceeds, hold up their heads, when all the world sees that one representative of the Amer ican people has disgraced himself by shielding a malefactor from justice, and instigating the destruction of an innocent and defenceless town; and another has behaved himself so shamefully that a sense of self-preservation obliged him to fly the country whither he was sent ! It con cludes : "What a picture, in sober truth, do our for eign ministers present at the present moment. Soule flying post haste from Spain, so as to an- ticipate his dismissal by Espartero, Borland , hiding somewhere in Arkansas his diminished head from popular indignation, Belmont, the Jew, setting Up an exchange shop at the Hague, others making themselves ridiculous by prating of universal liberty and crowned despots, and seeking to regulate the destinies of the world in democrat conciliables, reeking with the fumes of beer and pipes : those only freo from con tempt or shame, who have found safety in sloth and oblivion. Never, never, were the people of the United States so shamefully represented abroad as at this moment." JQ5 Mexico is in a sad state of anarchy and insubordination, and matters continue to grow worse and worse. The existence of the govern ment seems to be seriously threatened. Power ful rebel factions have sprung up in several of the States, seeking the overthrow of Santa Anna, and which it requires the utmost exer tion on his part to suppress. Gen. Alvarez, (who was reported dead,) Carvajal and Valdo- mar, are the most formidable leaders of the in surgents. The newspapers record numerous victories of the government forces over their op ponents, the official bulletins never failing to manufacture the requisite amount of "glory" out of each separate affair. In the various con flicts, a considerable number of lives are lost Such achievements, continued for any length of time, would apparently suffice to ruin any coun try. The present state of things, however, can not continue long. t&" The papers of Richmond, Petersburg, and Fredericksburg, Va., mention the appear ance of frost in the neighborhood of those cities. The Baltimore " Patrioe " says: A 1 gamester who is so fortunate as to find an an tagonist with sufficient pluck to continue the play, and capital enough to make it interesting, is considered by the fraternity as a, very fortun ate individual. If another, however, shall in- j terfere by putting the victim on his guard, or introducing new parties to the amusement, the gamester becomes very furious; he considers that he has a vested interest in the victim, and j protests with great indignation against "break- j ing up the game" which is yielding him such golden returns. Our Democratic opponents have possession of the Government and its offices. They claim to be in a majority, and by a little harmony in the division of the spoils, all the leaders may be provided with a home and support at the publio charge. To do this, it is of course necessary to praise every democratic man and measure, and denounce every thing which emanates from the Whigs. To do our democratic friends justice, they have reduced this thing to a system. To read the "Union," MrTPierce is a statesman of the most enlightened ability. His military genius resembles that of Napoleon, and his ad ministrative talent is equal to that of any Presi dential predecessor. According to the same authority, the Cabinet is a constellation of talent. The Executive has committed no error since his inauguration. In like manner, Democratic members of Congress are without defect. They may vote for or against any pending measure, and it does not affect the tolerance with which the organ regards them. The members vote for the publio printers, and the public printers besmear them with indiscriminate laudation. For anything we see to the contrary, this mono poly of public money might continue, and suc cessive crops of political Levites, set apart for the trade of adulation, might go on receiving the same emoluments ad aternum. But under this system a Democratic Aristocracy has been established, for which a large class of the peo pie of this country are now laboring without any practical right to participate in the admin istration of their own government. Whilst thib very snug game is going on, there arises a small cloud, which, like that of the prophet, was not larger than the band ; by and bye it became darker and more formidable, and then it burst in thunder about the ears of the Aristocracy, and began to rain down an incredible quantity of Quien Sabes or '"Know Nothings !" These mysterious nondescripts respect not the Hallo of Princes ; they appear in the purlieus of the palace they defile the shew-bread of the politi cal temple ! We think the great mutual assurance Dem ocratic association runs great risk of dissolution. Its members will find increased difficulty in persuading the people to continue a game which has resulted in supporting the Democratic Aris tocracy in the receipt of honors and salary, whilst Whigs, having too much honesty to take a name which tiey do not approve, are loaded with the burdens of Government, and as effec tually excluded from office as if tbey were so many Germans, over whom the Know Nothings bad the enactment of naturalization laws ! Fall Elections. The following is a list of the States vet to vote this fall, and the time of holding the elections : Pennsylvania Ohio Indiana Massachusetts New York . New Jersey Illinois Michigan Wisconsin October 10 October 10 October 10 November 13 November 7 November 7 November 7 November 7 November 7 Times in New York.. A New York exchange remarks that the times may be hard, but (here are no outward visible signs of a tight and tightening money market. At the sixteen places of amusement now nightly thrown open to the public, it is said that the average receipts can not be much less than ten thousand dollars, while the sums spent at the overflowing hotels, the club houses, the stores, the drinking saloons, the billiard rooms, the races, and the other fashionable and unfashionable vortexes of the city, must be immense. No matter how hard it may be to obtain money in Wall street, it comes and goes with unsparing hands in other parts of the great metropolis. The proprietors of four daily journals of Cincinnati have combined to raise the price of their papers. They properly allege as reasons for the change the facts, that newspaper publish ing is less profitable than any other business requiring a similar outlay of capital, talent and labor, the increase in the cost of making news papers, the rise in paper, wages, rents, fuel and provisions. We, are indebted to De Witt A Daven port, New York, for a recent publication. The Goblin Snob, illustrated with a number of quaint but neatly executed engravings. It is " imagined " by Henry L. Stephens and, though the poem and story lack interest, the en graverertainly has done his part in excellent style. Putnam's Magazine, for October, has been laid upon our table. We are pleased to hear of numerous en tries of Stock, &c., for the State Fair. Beverly Tucker, Esq., Editor of the Wash ington Sentinel, says that his name, as one of the Vice Presidents of the recent " Adminis tration demonstration " in that city, was used without his knowledge or assent, and that be did not approve entirely of the object of the meeting. A Letter from Rome, in the Nesaagere di Modena, states that at the present moment there are seven cardinals' hats at the disposal of the Pope, and that an eighth is likely to be soon vacant, by the death, which is daily expected, of the Archbishop of Braga, (Portugal) Cardinal of Figaiedo, NEWS OF THE DAY. Kansas Emigration. The second party of emigrants sent out to Kansas territory by the New England Aid Society has reached its des tination, all in good health and spirits and pleas ed with the prospects. A steam mill was pur chased at Rochester, and has been sent out for them. The third party will leave Boston the 26th instant. Hon. George A. Reeder, the recently-appointed Governor of the new territory of Kansas, left Easton (Pa.) on Friday last for New York, from whence, he will depart on Tuesday for Fort Leavenworth, whieh place will be, for the present, the seat of government of Kansas. Circulation of Virginia Banks. On the 1st of January last the circulation of the Bank of Virginia, Farmer's Bank of Virgina, Bank of the Valley of Virginia, and Exchange Bank ofVirgin:a wfts $9,661,357, and on the 1st of July last $7,176,102 ; making a difference of $1,485,255. A fellow was doubting whether or not he should volunteer to fight the Mexicans. One of the flags waving before his eyes, bearing the inscription, "victory or death," somewhat troub led and discouraged nim. "Victory is a very good thing," said he, "but why put it victory or death T Just put it victory or cripple, and I'll go that." The State of Connecticut is out of debt and has money loaned out at interest. The school fund is valued at $2,976,000 and other produc tive property of the State is estimated at $400, 000, the greater part of which is invested in bank stocks. Mr. Grimes, the new Governor of Iowa, is not, as some -supposed, a son of "Old Grimes," that good old man, who wore his coat "all but toned down before." A Shawl is in the New York Crystal Palace exhibition which is invoiced for duty at $2,700. If offered for sale, it would, no doubt, soon be on the back of some lady, even if her husband tound u dimcuit to get his note discounted at two per cents month. A merchant of Portsmouth, N. II., bought in Boston, a few days since, three chests that were supposed to be filled with a prime article of tea, Out on being opened they were found to con tain worthless chaff, rice hulls, etc., rendered sufficiently heavy for practical purposes by the addition of a collection of unburnt brickbats, evidently of Chinese origin. A woman was most unmercifully horse whip ped in the north part of the city of Zanesville, Ohio, one day last week, for decoying an inno cent young girl into a house of ill fame. The lather of the girl ordained and executed his own laws in this instance, and public sentiment acquiesced in the justness of them. A live toad, in a torpid state, was recently dug out of the " hard pan " at Rutland, Ver mont, some fifteen feet below the surface, where be must have reposed for centuries. On being laid upon the grass be soon revived, and' hop ped oft to give the worms and bugs of the nine teenth oentury a specimen of antediluvian skill in " snapping them up." The Ladies North are introducing what is term ed an "Ugly," as a compensation forthe infinites simally email bonnets now worn. The "Ugly" is nothing more than what years ago used to be termed a "jcalash." The " Ugly " is to the head what a top is to a gig, or a chaise. The "Ugly "lets up and down like one of those tops. The " Ugly " is of a different color from the bonnet, and it might be called a parasol, a veil, or anything else, descriptive of what hides or shades the facer Ladies, hence, now often wear two bonnets on their head instead of one Emperor SopLocQrE and his St. Louis Master, It is stated that Soulouque, or Fauatin I, the black Emperor of San Domingo, was formerly the slave of a citizen of St. Louis, who frequent ly receives friendly messages from him. The St. Louis Democrat states that a week or two since he was pleasantly surprised with the re ceipt of several bags of coffee and a package of sugar, accompanied by quite an anectionate let ter from bis 'imperial majesty. The English papers are full of glowing ac counts of the beautiful weather and prosperous harvest. The whole land was cheered by the agreeable intelligence. I he cheap loaf for the coming year was now a thing certain. "Every day's sunshine is set down as worth a million of pounds." Pa what's impost ? Why a tax, my son. Then, Pa! I suppose a tax gatherer is an im poster, is'nt lie ? Go to bed my sonkand don't trouble me. . The New York Express says : We have sel dom seen the, time when there were more men and boys out' of employment than there are just now. Eight deaths have occurred on board the steamship State of Georgia, at quarantine, be low Philadelphia, from yellow lever. Some of the people of Lorain county, Ohio, during the late drought, have had to go eight miles for water for ordinary household use. The deaths by cholera at Pittsburg, on Fri day last, amounted to sixty, with no abatement of the disease. "Houses is Ashes." The Springfield Re publican mtfgt have a dictionary of its own, for under the above caption it records the burning of one ship, three barns, ten head of cattle, one horse, and a building designed for a bank! John W. Taylor, formerly a member of Con gress from New York, and speaker of the House of Representatives at the time of the adoption of the Missouri Compromise, died at Cleveland on the 18th irist. Celebrants. The telegraph from New York on the evening of Saturday contained the infor mation that ;"the celebrants proceeded on an excursion to Staten Island." What upon earth is a "celebrant ?" Lady Margaret Herbet asked some lady for a pretty pattern of a nightcap. "Well," said ihe person, what signifies the pattern of a nightcap ?" I "Oh child !" said she, but, you know, in case of fire !" Jeffrey told a capital story of Talleyrand at a public dinner. His health was drank. Be fore the noise was over, he got up, made a mum bling, as if of speaking, spoke nothing, made a bow, and sat jdown ; at which the applaase re doubled, though all those immediately about him knew he never said a word. A Delicate Search. The St Louis Herald j states a case of a young lady of the most un doubted respectability, who entered a shoe, store in that city, and asked to be shown some gaiter boots; a number were shown to her which she examined and tried on. While the attention of the storekeeper was occupied with another customer, several pairs of gaiters dis appeared. The lady concluding not to pur chase, he was compelled to accuse ber of secre ting his shoes ; she denied it, and he insisted, and proceeded to search, and found several pairs suspended by hooks which were attached to the lady's garters. He took from their hooks chose belonging to him, and left there several others, which had no doubt been taken from stores. She was allowed to depart. Colored Physicians for Liberia. The col ored men, Dr. J. H. Snowden and Dr. Daniel Lazing, Jr., both thoroughly educated physi cians, under the care and expense of the Massa chusetts Colonization Society, have sailed for Liberia in the "Sophia Walker," the one to be employed at Simon, and the other on the St. Paul's river, to attend to the newly arrived emigrants during their acclimation. Punished fob Doing their Dtrrr The Bos ton Board of Aldermen have rejected as candi dates for the police the persons who assisted the United States Government to prevent the mob from releasing Sims, the fugitive slave from custody. It i quite natural that those who were for mobbing the United States offi cers should consider it a crime to uphold the laws. Philadelphia Ledger. England Learning from America. A cor respondent of the Boston Chronicle says that the Massachusetts Arms Company, at Chicopee Falls, are now constructing for the British gov ernment a complete set of machinery "for doing gun work. The machines are modelled from those at the arsenal in Springfield, and which every one who has visted there has seen to their astonishment and admiration. Important to the Heirs of those who fell at the Alamo, Texas. It is stated that there is due the heirs of those men who fall with Travis, at the "Almo," and with Fanning, at the mas sacre of Goliad, the following quantity of land, viz : io married men. 4.bUo acres as a bead- right; 1,920 acres bounty; 640 acres as dona tion.' total, 7,165 acres. Unmarried mn. 1,476 acres headright ; 1,920 bounty ; and 640 donation, total, 4,036. Mobile Register. Contract for Corn. Messrs. Mitchell & Garnier, distillers at Alton, Illinois, have con tracted for about 25.000 bushels of corn, to be delivered from the Illinois river, eleven thou sand at 45c. without sacks, and 13,000 at 50c. per bushel, sacks included. These are about double the rates paid last year by the same par ties. Terrible Accident in St Louis The St. Louis Intelligencer of Tuesday says a large quantity of fireworks that were being prepared for a display was exploded by lightning, on Monday night, blowing up a house and killing two men, who were asleep in the upper part of the building. The men killed were pyrotech nists, one named Catoir and the other Lumen, An American in ths Turkish Armt.

The Know Nothings. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian publishes what purports to be a list of the officers of the Grand Council o 4 Know Nothings of North America. Among the names in the list are James M. Stephens, of Baltimore, Recording Secretary ; W. W. Wil Harrison, of Alexandria, Vice President, and John P. Hilton, of Washington city, inside Sen tinel. The President of the Grand Council is said to be James W. Barker, of New York. Kentucky Chivalry. A grand tournament is to be given in the amphitheatre of the Agri cultural Association, near Louisville, on the 15th October next, the last day of the agricul tural fair. The Louisville Journal say it is to be got up on a scale of magnificence which wii eclipse any exhibition of a similar kind ever given in Kentucky. An invitation has been ex tended to the "chivalry" of the entire State. Christian Resignation. The editor of the Belfast (Me.) Journal, a Democratic paper. takes the defeat of his party quite coolly. He desires some one of his readers to loan him copy of "Baxter's Saints' Rest." He wants to read some good books in which there is no al lusion to politics. Shocking. Why is a watch dog larger at night than he is in the morning? Because he is let out at night and taken in in the morning. Large Load. The largest cargo of corn ever received at Buffalo in a sail vessel was brought into port on Friday of last week, in the baik Great West. She had ZH,W) bushels. Cool Dress. They must dress cool in La fayette, la. A young lady, on being asked i she intended to wear that great bustle to church, said she did'nt mean to wear anything else. So says an exchange. New Collector of New Orleans. Col. T, C. Porter, successor of Gen. Downs, deceased, as Collector of the port of New Orleans, enter ed upon the discharge of his duties on the 15th instant. A Proposition. The Piedmont Whig, 6ince one dollar has been demanded for taking a peep at the Natural Bridge, proposes that 12$ cents be charged for looking at the moon. Jim Holmes, a keeper of a low groggery in Nashville, Tenn., was killed ia a house of ill fame in that city, on the night of the 15th inst., by Joseph Long of North Carolina, Quite an excitement was produced at the wharf, in Wheeling, on the 22d instant, at the arrival of a steamboat the first for about seven weeks. The prospects of the United States and Li beria Steamship Company are brightening. It is stated that a gentleman in a remote district of the South sent an unsolicited subscription of $1,000, and more recently be writes that his wife's father, at his daughter's request; agrees tt give hie name for $1,000. Happiness is a butterfly which, when par- sued, is always just beyond your grasp ; bat which, if yoo will wait quietly, may come to jou. ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUS. FORTNIGHT LATER FROM CALIFORNIA- New York:, Sept. 25. The steamship Pro metheus has arrived, with a fortnight's later dates from California. She brings one million of dollars in gold, and passengers brought to Panama by the steamship Pacific. The political affairs of California is the chief theme of the papers. Three full tickets have Deen made out for state and municipal officers, and the nominations on each ticket are complete. ine mining news is of a very cheering cha racter, although a scarcity of water has retard ed operations in certain localities. lwo men, foreigners, detected in the act of disposing of stolen cattle at San Antonio, were dragged out of prison, and hung, without trial, to the nearest tree. Three towns have been burnt in the interior of the State. Loss $800,000. Immigration, bv wav nf the nlairm. U im- a w - - - r mense. Large numbers of emigrants are rapid ly arriving. Ihe Chinese are arriving in ereat numbers twenty four hundred having arrived within the last fortnight. H. B. Atkins, charged with the murder of W. S. May, of Boston, has been discharged. Two tribes of Digger Indians had had a pitch ed battle. 66 The battle took nlace on the 23d ultimo, at the American flats. A larre number was kill ed. Business has not imnroved within the last fortnight. Advices from all parts of the coun try are unfavorable to trade, although the mi ners everywhere are unprecedentedly success ful. THE YELLOW FEVER AT THE SOUTH. Columbia, S. C, September 26. There were five deaths at Augusta, on Saturday, from the fever, notwithstanding the reduced population of the city. Charleston. Ssept. 2o. The deaths on Sat urday from fever were 14, and on Sunday 18. Mr. Bingham, the operator in the telegraph office, is recovering, and will soon be at his post again. New Orleans, September 24. The number of deaths in the Charity Hospital of yellow fe ver during the past week was 150. THE WHIG PARTY. There are those who with oracular ussumD tion have declared the Whig party extinct. With mock solemnity they have pictured it in the cerements of death, have gravely performed its funeral obsequies, and consigned it to the tomb Of "damned oblivion." The might?
