Bragg A Democratic paper, aje, and. an able one, publuhed at the place of bis nativity, arJ raigned him for appointing Mr. Psge, Seo reUrj of Sute, and Mr. CHogman Senator the United Sute, and what has been the ruh!

STRIXGEJCY OF PARTY DRILL. Sosso idea of tbo stringency of Demoeratio party drill maj be gained from an occurrence which took place at s meetiog of the Demo crats of R'uhmond, beld for the purpose of sendiog delegates to a convention which will be btld next week in Petersburg for the pur. poee of nominating a candidate for tbo office of Gorerndr of Virginia. Daring the proceed ings of this meeting, Mr. O. Jennings Wise, cno of the editors of the Riohmond Enquirer, took occasion to say, al'hoogb opposed to the nomination of the -Hen- John Letcher, he oold nevertheless support him for the offioe of Governor in the event of his selection ss a candidate bj the Petersburg Convention. Subsequently, and just before the adjourn ment of the niee'jng, when the greatest ex citement prevailed, . Mr. Roger A. Pry or mounted the . platform and proposed three cheers for John Letcher, which were beartilj given. This it would seem, excited Mr. Wise's dander, for no sooner did the cheer iog for Mr. Letcher subside, than up he hops upon the platform and proposes three groans for tbo aforesaid John Letcher, which were as beartilj given as were the e Leers. .' In the event, thenof .Mr. Letcher's Domination bj tbo Petersburg Convention, which isWgb ly probable, Mr O." Jennings Wise will bo in the eu visble predicament of supporting,' in the Richmond Enquirer, for the ofSee of Governor, an individual whom he was in strumental in having groaned down in a pub lic meeting. . . ...,.,..', s " . - I ZjT" We' publish bj request the following notice i . . . .OtSuers.and Mernbers of Ike Volunteer Com panies of our State will remember that a move ment of 9ooie importance to their interest la at preemt in cnateroplation and soou to beput into execution.

II. LATER FROM MEXICO THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITAL. The New Orleans Picayune has the details of the newa from Mexico, already . briefly noted by telegraph. A letter from the City of Mexico, dated Oct. 2,aTt: - On the 14 th this city was beaieged by 3,000 Federalist, under Gen. Blanco, and on the follow ing day an attack took place, but notwithstanding the garrison of ttia city amounted to not more than 1,000 men, the attacking ' force withdrew af ter several spirited encounters, . but without a do feat. The losa for toe day was heavy for a Mexi can battle some 200 were killed altogether. The enemy hung about the valley . for several days, and then, like a lot of strolling gipsies, moved off towards their haunts near Morella and Toluca. The Mexican government; it appears, refused to allow Mr. Forsyth, the American minister, an escort from the'capital to Vera Crus. The conse quence was he was attacked by robbers, butfuioceed d in beating them oft. In the City of Mexico the cry ia " death to foreigners," axd Americans and others were daily insulted and maltreated.- One American ia in prison lying dangeroualy ill. , A negro man, the property of Mr. Wiley Rhiddick, of Gates county, N.

A Revenne Project Aliaadoned The Ad j " ministration : in the; House Claims " of ' American Citizens on Foreign Govern- ments-Post OfficeMoney Orders.. Since publk? opinion was invoked pretty un raiatakeably, upon the suggestion, that the project was favorobly entertainmenedhere of reconimen dina; a duly on tea and coffee for the purpose of augmenting the revenue, the -Administration- has concluded to reconider its meditated purpose, and the idea ii entirely abaedoned, but mostly from the apprehension of its unpopularity. Mr. Cobb has been quite free in expressing the opin ion, Umt tney anowld be aubjectea to tne same principle as sugar, .wbicn is now quite as mucn, u not more, an article or prime necessity. Mr. Rives, of lrginia, nas been nere on a brief visit 'to examine political papers which are not accessible elsewhere, and to perform some friendly offices. Country life, and absence from those excising scenes in which he wafong accus tomed to act a conspicuous part, seem to have freshened the laureia which he bore away from the public councils, and and have brightened wis mature yean with.' the strong colors of -iugged The Administration is not likely to be suppor ted With the seal or fidelity which it received last winter on its own side of the house. There are various tokens otdU affection and no concealment of complaint in various quarters. Most of the few Northern Democrats who were lortunate enough to escaped the recent popular revulsion are not flatt Jring in their expressions of the Pre sideot fJLecompton policy, and some of them cpen ly oomdemn it as suicidal and gratuitous, like the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Mr- John Cochrane, of New York, is now on. the ground, and ia not reserved iu his estimate f the whole concern, nor does be much scruple to say, it may seek aid where a sense of gratitude will justify the recognition. - . . - It appears the administration made no effort to asaut hk re-eleUion, but expended moat of its in fluence upon the return of the redoubtable Dan. Sickles. And aa the so-called Democratic papers have habitually misrepresented and assailed the alleged abuse of the elective francisein Baltimore, it should be known that the President personally directed that the United States troops stationed at Governor's Island should go to the polls and sup port his man Sickles. They were marched over, as if on regular duty, and appeared at tho ballot box to neutralize the votes of substantial citizens. It ia the notoriety of outrages lite these outrages worthy of the deapotism now existing in France, and emulating the example of its ruler that ex cites resentment in the public mind and provokes retaliation which cannot bejostiuVd The liber ties of Rome were overthrown by foreign and mercenary levies, and the instruction of that his torical event appears not to have been lost on those who are determined to rule with a strong hand or to ruin with a reckU-aa one. It will be impracticabh for the Department of State to prepare the anawnr to Mr. Benjamins resolution, calling for - a digest of all the chums of American citizens againat foreign governments, since the year 1816 until the month of January. The task ia one requiring great caie and la borious examination, and at least must be only an approximative statement, from the limited time and help allowed for the investigation. Several clerks have been employed for months, and aa yet, the results are general in their character, without being separated by intelligent discrimination. . The Postmaster General will recommend a plan for sending amall sums . of . money through the mails, by dratta of the Department, . upon the ba sis of that now successful and so popular in Eng land. The returns, to the dead letter office show that large amounts are annually misdirected, from the want of some system which would be accessi ble to the classes who are ignorant of the mode of ordinary transmission. The introduction of some scheme of this sort has been long needed, and al moot any steps in that direction would be received with favor as a beginning. - AMERICUS. .i - FOTt THX REGISTER.

Capt .Cbaun cey arrived at 'St Vincent on the day previous to writing. His object in touching at this place was to obtain a small supply iof coal, having been cbliged to use Bteam during the preceding four or ' five days in consequence of tlie prevalence of an obstinate south, wind, j which was constantly setting the vessel to the north w red and eastward, and daily, placing her further fr isa the point of destination. . ., - ... .... ,'. , Capt Cbauncey reports - that on the 14th ult. seven of the captured Africans died, from a com plication of deseases, rendered more severe by the unusual cold , weather which had lately set in'. With this great mortality forty-live deaths since the negroes , were ' received oa- boaid with no prospect of a change of wind, with a rapidly de creasing supply or medicine, and a prospect of their falling short entirely, Capt Cbauncey de termined to exercise the discretion vested in him, and put the. ship under steam, and seek a southern latitude .more congenial to. the negroes. .In tak ing this course Capt Cbauncey . was actuated solely by the convictions of his judgment, and by a conscientious desire to discharge faithfully a very responsible duty. - It was expected that the Niagara would leave Porto Grande in the course of the next twenty- four hours. After landing the negroes on the Lcoast, tne vessel would stop at Monrovia for coal, and return direct to the United States. The of ficers and crew were in the enjoyment of perfect health. ' ' Important Decision. In Petersburg, Va., a ease of importance . has been - pending for some time of which the Intelligencer gives the follow ing history. '" ' . ,' The plaintiff in the case, James M.. B. Stewart who had beld the office of City -Sergeant for two consecutive years previous, was re-elected to that office by the people in May last, and in June fol lowing, pursuant to the requirement of the law, tendered his. bond with certain sureties to the Hustings Court, by whom it was accepted. ; On a more careful examination into the matter, howev er, t was ascertained that the sureties were not as responsible as the court had at first believed them to be, and at a subsequent meeting of that body, called forthe purpose, the action of the former Court whs reconsidered and additional security demanded, Mr. Stewart being unable to- furnish the amount of security required, the Court refus ed to qualify him. Father action in the matter waa thus devolved upon the Civy Council, who de-, cl su-ed the office vacant and elected John H.
