It prove that its enemies could not infuse into the South the notion that it was de signed to war with heir peculiar institutions, and that its tendency was subversive of the Con stitution. Patriotic Virginians saw in it the bond which was to grapple the States of the Confederacy together with, hooks of steel, and tbey clung to it with a tenacity which showed how justly they appreciated its value. Though they were not able to lift the "Old Dominion" out of the slough of party politics, into which the Richmond Junto had plnnged it, yet they came near enough to prove that the period is at b tnd when it is probable she will be redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. The Democra tic party had the power and the offices in the State, and the national patronage was dispen sed on the same side. This was all wielded for the purpose of arresting the spread of American principles.aod it is not surprising that it was suf ficiently strung to prevent their success. Had there been a secret ballot, no one could question that the result would have been other wise ; for then men would have voted according to their consciences and convictions. The riva vece vote enabled the political leaders to mark and punish all who held office and place, and who did not vote according to the bidding of lo cofocoism ; for the decree had goneforth that any watering was to be attended with decapita tion ! Virginia. Election. Official returns receiv ed at Richmond from one hundred and ten counties give Mr. Wise a majority of 10,791. The thirty-two counties to hear from gave Mr. Pierce 591 majority. The Congressional dele gation, it is now probable, will be wholly loco foco. The dominant party have, as far as beard from, gained fifteen'and lost thirteen members of the Legislature. . ' 19 There has been one mode of operating iu the late Virginia election, on the part of the administration, which is the most mean and contemptiblewbich we have ever known to be used in any political, struggle.- The Navy De partment at Washington ordered the discharge of workmen at the Oosport Navy Yard for po litical reasons, and the Washington Union gave its " cordial approval" of the turning away of ship-joiners, bolt-drivers and laborers, because they had joined the opposition lodges. Had such an event happened under a Whig admin istration, what a bowl of aaaasement aad rage would have been beard from the friends of the dar people 1 Curiosities of the Censcs. The census of 1S0 shows that the oldest person living in the United States was 140- This person was an Indian woman, residing in North Carolina. In the same State was an Indian aged 125, a negro woman 111, two black females 110 each, one mulatto male 120, and several white males and females aged from 106 to 114. In the parish of Lafayette, Louisiana, was a female black, aged from 110 to 115. There wire in the Uni ted States, in 1850, 2,555 persons over 100 years. This shows that about one person in 9,000 will be likely to live to that age. There are now 20,000 persons in the United States who were living when the Declaration of Independence was signed, in 1776. They must necessarily be about 80 years old now, in order to have lived at that time. The French census of 1851 shows only 102 persons over 100 years old, though their total population was near 36,000,000. Old e is, therefore, attained among ns much more 1 requently than in France. True Philosophy asd trck Spirit. The "Richmond Whig," commenting upon the re sult of the Virginia election, remarks : "We speak from experience when we say, that there is no more pleasant and delightful stream in the world than Salt river. We have lived upon iu banks all our days, and nearly all ttie beet friends we have in the world live there with as, and we are utterly astonished at our selves, that we should ever have felt or expressed n wish to leave it for le&a inviting regions. To be sure, there are no "spiles" there to gladden tl.e heat ts of worldly and selfish natures; but vre have never been accustomed to the "spiles," and indeed we feel entirely too spiritual ever to eare about things so gross and so far beneath the aspirations of immortals. We are exceed ingly gratified that we are thus happily consti tuted. - ' If this election should result in continuing us a- sojourners at this attractive retreat, it will do iiu more than all preceding elections have done, and we shall bow to the popular will with the irufouodest reverence, and with the best possi ble temper. To each and every Know Nothing in the State, we tender our sincere condolence and sympa thy remarking merely, tbat they deserved suc cess, for they worked like beavers, and did some immensely tall bragging. We are not advised, fiat the Whig party was in the contest at all t-iough we all gave what aid and comfort we culd to our friends of the American party, and :liall cheerfully do so again, whenever the con tl ct recurs between them and our ancient ene niies. :- To the world at large and the "rest of man Vind," we will merely state, that we mean to Uule against Juntoimr and Iocofocoism, and the Jurrin power in this country, a long as we cn v ag a tougn or wield a pen. " Defeat, bath ii" t rnrs for our ouL''? V v"5-i-Y - v" BiAa has Moept tnl'BfiaTflitlfla UtitTti Ij the recent Ftanklinton Convention , FILLMORE TIIE.s MODEL PRESIDENT. '..'TheThibodeax (La.) Minerva gives emphatic utterance to the follow L'ng sentiment : v -, ; : "No man stands higher in our opinion as a statesman, or enjoys a greater share of the af fections of the people of Old Lafourche, than Millard Fillmore, wh use administration occupies one of the brightest pages of the history of our country. We have no hesitation in asserting that Mr. Fillmore w this day the first choice of Louisiana for the Presidency ; and bis nomina tion for that high office would cause to be ral lied around him some of the most eminent and wisest of both political parties." We shall be bIow to commit ourselves to aiy particular candidate for the next PiesidenrW ; we have men here in North Caroliua who woqld worthily fill that high office, and whom we nhould be pleased to support ; but we do sajy, with the "Memphis E.le," tbat Millard Fib more deserves welt of the Repiblic. For nearly thrive years he performed the duties of the Chief Magistracy of the country, and during that period made a name for pru dence, moderation and administrative skill, which History has recorded in large and res plendent characters. Leaving office in 1853, he carried with bira to retirement as much of respect, admiration and gratitude as any of bis predecessors, since the days of Washington. That feeling has suffered no diminution since. On the contrary, it has gone on increasing, and his retirement, instead of lowering, has eleva ted, him in the hearts of his countrymen. Even those who had been in the habit of maligning him while in office have, since he ceased to be President, reluctantly accorded to him every quality that adorns a man, or marks a pure, upright and far sighted statesman. North or South and especially at the South his name cannot be mentioned in public assemblies or in private circles without eliciting expressions of profound respect and applause. All, without distinction of party, now freely accord to him the meed of a sincere heart and an earnest pa triotism; and all have conceded that if be erred at all as President, bis motives were ever the purest and roost ennobling. Never, perhaps, in the pistory of this coun try, were tributes of respect, such as these, more fairly, or honorably, or (all things considered) more gloriously, earned. Coming, as he did, from the stronghold of Abolitionism, Western New York, he, on every occasion, in the exer cise of his high functions, proved himself the firm friend of the constitutional rights of the South, and the unsectional President of the whole Union. Undoubtedly Millard Fillmore has richly and worthily won the right to be called the "Model President." Long may he wear it ! As un doubtedly is he now reaping in all parts of an admiring confederacy of patriots and freemen the grateful rewards of honorable deeds in office. Long may he live to enjoy them ! Well disposed or. The "Asheville Specta tor" disposes ot the contemptible and ridiculous objection of the "News" to Mr. Carhicuael, the candidate for Congresn in opposition to Clincman, tbat he once "voted for ice or the members of the Legislature," after the following pungent style. We hope the Dews will take it coolly. "The legislature was called together in Octo ber, 1852, by Gov. Keid. The weather was still quits warm, and the water of the City very bad. A proposition was made that the door keeper should furnish ice for the water used by the House, for which Mr. Carmichael, and a large majority of both parties, voted. Now ice in the City of Raleigh is worth the enor mous sum of one cent per pound. Supposing that the boys used fifty pounds a day, (which is a large calculation tor two large tubs of wa ter that stand in the Hall of the House,) for thirty days, by which time the ice would not be needed, it would amount to 1500 pound equal, in the language of Kemp Wilhs, Esq., to the "neat and respectable sum" of fifteen dollars! We forget the number of polls there are in the j State, but believe that it is in the neighborhood j of 150,000. Now we are not good in figuree, i and if we have figured it out wrung, we would thank the News to set us right, but we make this enormous State deht amount to the one hun I dred and fiftieth part of a cent to the poll. W hcth er the Xreasurer, Air. courts, isauea coupous for this sum, payable at the Bank of the Repub lic, and what premium they were sold for, we have never been able to learn. It is an impor tant matter, well worth the consideration of the editor of the News, and fitted to his capacity. We hope, therefore, he will see to :t. One thing is very certain : it would, we imagine, impair very effectually Mr. Carmicbael's usefulness as a member of Congress. In the meantime, lest the burthens of taxation become grievous to our neighbor's shoulders, if be will call around, we will pay him the sum total of his proportiona ble part, if be can make the change, and pre sent bim besides with a copy of :he old High land Messenger, in which he will see himself cheek by jowl with Mr. Carmichael, and, conse quently, "bel&nging to the etraitest sect of old lederal Whiggery." Seriously, such an ob jection as this is in insult to the intelligence of the people upon whom it is urged, and eould only have been engendered in the brain of the editor of the New, and a few other exceeding small patterns of Clingmanisni, who dwell here abouts. Thi Allied Fleet before Sebastopol maintain a very strict blockade. Even small boats from the harbor are prevented from com ing out by numerous launches from the blocka ding force, which cruise by night close into the mouth of the port. At night, one or more steamers advance to within a half a mile of the marine torts, and, alter nring a Droaasiae oi shot and shell, many of which fall upon the city itself, steam off again. The forts at once reply to the fire, but the darknees prevents the vessels from being seen, except at the moment of the opening of the broadside. On the night of the 24th of April, the French screw liner Mon tebello, 120, approached within half a mile of the forts, and, after firing sixty guns, her steam pipes blew out from the boilers. In this help less state, the wind being on shore, she drifted io, aud would have been lost, but for the provi dential coming up of a steam frigate and gun boat, which took her in tow, and got her clear outside. On occasions of these night attacks from the fleet, the Russians send up shells, 'which, as tbey explode, send forth fire balls to spread light, and thus to indicate the position of the attack.

Nashville Sentinel. To the Editor of the Republican Banner : Sir: As several of my acquaintances in va rious portions of the country have written to me, expressing a wish to know my views res pecting the recent nomination of Governor John son by the new school of Democrats assembled at Nashville, a few weeks ago, I do not see that I can answer them more briefly than bv asking the publication in your columns of the follow ing note to Mr. Eastman of the Union and A merican. This gentleman was known as & fire tater during the discussions on the Compromise of 1850, and became at once the favorite of the new school of Democrats, after it was ascertain ed that he bad been selected by Mr. Cheves, the famous disunion orator of South Carolina, to print and circulate copies of his speech in the Nashville Southern Convention. In that speech Mr. Cheves boldly advocated the formation of a Southern Confederacy, and ridiculed the Con stitution of the United States as a dead carcass. Mr. Cheves is still a great name in the estima tion of the fre-eattng or filibustering class of politicians who are scattered in ambush through out the country, waiting to see what advantage can be secured to the project of seizing Cuba and establishing a Southern Confederacy, from the treachery and imbecility of Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet. Yours, respectfully, A. J. DoNELSOMT. Nashville, May 22, 1855. Sir: As I am not a nullifier or abolitionist, m apologist, in any degree, for President Pierce and his cabinet, in their attempt to govern the country by a coalition of the most dangerous factions in the land, you will oblige ms by era sing my name from your list of subscribers. You maintained the opinion during the dis cussions on the Compromise of 1850, and after its passage, that that measure was a coward It surrender of the cause of State Rights, in which respect you agreed exactly with such harmon ious statesmen as Messrs. Davis, (the Secretary of War,) Mr. Soule, (late Minister to Madrid.) Giddings, of Ohio, Sumner, of Massachusetts, and Seward, of New Xork. If you have chang ed that opinion, or if any of those have who co operated with you in the memorable crusade of tnat period against the peace of the country, I have seen no evidence of it in the colttmns of your paper, but, on the contrary, much that is calculated to deceive the people, and, under the guise of the word Democracy, to inaugurate an other slavery agitation. in ls3J, lennessec, with but few dissenting voices, in accord with Air. Madison, the author of the celebrated Virginia Report, declared her concurrence with General Jackson, when de nouncing the attempt of South Carolina to nul lify the laws of the United States as treason. And this is now the sentiment of nine-teDths of the people of this State. Yet it is notorious that the individuals the most prominent in ad herence to this treason are those specially sought for by President Pierce to fill the most elevated and responsible national trusts, but not a word is ever to be found in your paper warning the country against conduct so obviously the result of the intrigue which has surrendered the pow er of the Federal Government to the nullity ing faotions of the day. We all remember that the most active leader of the Tennessee division of the new school of Democrats, after a mysterious flourish of pat riotism on the top of bis Mount Pisgah. cams down and informed us that bis heart would break before be could rejoice at the passage of the Compromise, and more recently, that the present nominee to the office of Governor, by the same school of Democrats, shocked the religious sense of the age in calling Democracy the Ja cob's ladder of the sacred scriptures. If the people of Tennessee are prepared to fill their chief offices with those who preach this kind of higher lawism, I do not see how their voice is to become potential in putting down the fanaticism of such men as Giddings and Seward. The people of the North have certainly equal rights with us of the South, and it may be expected that they will exercise them with as much free dom as we do ours. If we are to manage our political affairs by the aid of visions and dreams from the tops of a new Mount Pisgah and Ja cob's ladder, it is but Datural that our brethren of the North should avail themselves of the same assistance. But this trickery and humbuggery beloDg not to the creed of the old fashioned Tennessee De mocrat, lie has always been content to follow in the footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, Mad ison, and Jackson, who never failed to make war on nullification, wherever it appeared. whether preached in New York, South Caro lina, or Mississippi. Those patriots and states men taught as to look alone to the Constitution of the United States for the measure of the powers ot our Federal and State governments, and I for one am satisfied to stand by that sa cred instrument, unchanged by the Jabob Lad derxsm of Governor Johnson, the higher lawism of Senator Seward, or the less mysterious doc trine of nullificaiionism, as interpreted by the two famous conventions which the country has witnessed, the one assembled at Hartford, and the other at Nashville, and both professing to act in the name of State Rights and a strict construction of the powers of the Federal Gov ernment. Yours, Sbc , A. J. Donelson.

Spain and Chcrch Property. The value of the property released from mortmain by the new law confiscating church property in Spain is estimated as high as $300,000,000, but no accu rate statistics are as yet prepared. Probably the treasury of Spain may not realise an actual benefit of more thau from $150,000,000 to $200, 000,000. Ccaioca Statistics. The Journal of the A cademy of Medicine, at Turin, contains some curious statistics on human life among others, the statement that married men live longer than bachelors, and tall men longer than those of small stature. The two months of the twelve in which most marriages are celebrated are June and December. Immigration. The travel of immigration westward this season, from the Eastern cities and States, is said to exceed that of any former year. Hard times have had one good effect ; tbey have forced many to go to cultivating the soil, who have been living precariously in the cities for the last year or two. Tuc Cxar and his Brother. A Paris corre spondent of the London Times speaks confident ly of serious differences between the Emperor and hin limther. the Oranrl Do Ire Constftntine. and tbat the Empress mother considers it nefur8 ' cessary to remain in St. Petersburg in order to maintain tranquility in the imperial family, y It is estimated that there will be shipped from the Lake Superior region, this season, about three thousand tons of pig copper, valued at $1,500,000. Washington Irving a Millerite. It is not generally known, says an exchange, tbat the accomplised author of the Sketch Book is an adherent of the Millerite sect, and has been so for an extended period of time. Sir William Gell states in a letter to Lady Blessington, which appears in the recently published me moirs ot that personage, that in 1834 Irving declared that the world would come to an end in 1867. Tux Artesian Well at Charleston, South Carolina, after penetrating to a depth of 1,232 feet, has reached a hard rock, the boring of wnicn is found to be paintuily slow and tedious, so tbat thus far it has only been pierced 18 inches.

A friend ot ours received a business letter yester day from Greensboro Alabama, in which he gives the following picture ot affairs io tbat part of the country : From the long continued dry weather our river is rendered unoavigable. Even on our lar gest river (Alabama) only the smallest boats can run, and they are charging $2,50 per bar rel freight to Mobile. With us things look a larming. Our river has been so low during the winter and spring that planters have been una ble to ship their cotton. It is still in store on the banks of our rivers, and the consequenoe is a gre.nt monetary pressure. But worse than all this is the great ttoarcity of provisions. Ba con 15 cents per pound, corn meal $1,50 per bushel, and flour $-0 per barrel, and it is diffi cult to get those necessaries at these high prices. Unless we can get rain in the next ten days our country will be ruined. Indeed, it looks as if a famine was upon us. I never saw so gloomy a time ; but I hope better times are coming. Pet. Dem.

Gage had been nominated for Governor by a Know Nothing State Convention was a hoax. No State Convention has yet been held. How they expect to beat in Baltimore The anti-Americans in this city are quite given just now to talk about defeating " Sam s boys' at our next election here, and when asked to explain why they expect such a result, tbey say " we have not half the working men in the city now that we had last year, as the hard times have forced many of them to go else where to seek a living." erily this is pretty talk for a party tbat far years set itself up as the poor man's party, and claimed to be the es pecial champion of the working man. Two years ago the folly of this claim was proven by attacks upon the working classes which appear ed in their organ, and in articles in the Sun from the pens of their high officials, and now we find them rejoicing over the calamity that deprived so many working men of employment aud brought suffering upon their families. What these professed friends of the poor are rejoicing over ought to be a source of heartfelt regret and sorrow to every good citizen, but bigotry and intolerance have now got so strong a bold upon the Pierce Democracy, tiat nothing de lights them more than the distress which fol lowed in the track of the financial catastrophe. No doubt they would like to see the whole American family rooted out of the city by an army of foreign paupers and convicts; but in spite of all their intolerance and proscription, they will find quite enough of the American spirit left in Baltimore to give them another overwhelming defeat at the next election. Sam is not dead yet, but will rise refreshed from tue accidental defeat, and show himself stronger than ever. Bait. Clipjter. B6.The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Boston Transcript gives the following particu lars of the burial place of the Czars of Rus sia : "The most interesting church in St. Peters- : -. . j l - i . o - r i mat ueuicaieu vo oaims reier auu Paul, otherwise called the "Fortress Church," as it stands within the citadel of the city. Its splendid spire, precisely resembling tbat of the Admiralty, rises far above all otuers, to the height of 340 feet, and its gilded surface shines dazzlingly in the sun. It is said tbat 12,000 ducats have already been expended in the gild ing of this spire. But within the Fortress Church rest the remains of all the Czars since Peter the Great. No European monarchs rest so unostenta'iously, and no others are buried within the walls of a fortress. To each Empe ror, there is erected merely a sarcophagus, with frequently his initial letters engraved upon it. Each of these sarcophagi is covered with a pall of cloth of gold, embroidered with the dou ble beaded eagle. Upon the Grand Duke Con stantino's tomb lie the keys oi some Polish fortretses, while Alexander's bears a small mili tary medal with his portrait. Each tomb is surrounded by a neat iron railing, and the part of the nave devoted to the tombs is again sepa rated from the body of the church. As I visit ed the church during Lent, the cloth of gold was concealed in every case by a faded black covering. Beginning with Peter the Great, I Eassed by ail the Czare in chronological order, ere lsy the great Catharine, and, sleeping quietly by her side, her husband Peter III., to whom she in her lifetime refused this place. "Around one of the scarcophagi I saw a dense crowd, and, approaching it, found it tbat of Nicholas. The cloth was new, and no dust bad settled ou the ermine border. His initial letter was embroidered in amaryntb, and a candle burns day and night upon the tomb. The little relic that was placed upon the breast, while be lay in state in the Palace, lies upon. the middle of the sarcophagus. It is surrounded by a wreath of immortals. Every one whoapproach ed the spot seemed touched with real sorrow. and all spoke in whispers around the grave of the great man. As 1 etood there watching the crowd, the gates were suddenly thrown open, and the old General, in full uniform, entered and approached the tomb. Taking off his hel met, he held it before his face, and, kneeling, seemed for a few moments to be engaged in earnest prayer. The helmet shook in bis hand as with emotion. Finally rising, he kissed the relic that had lain on his mother's breast, and then crossing the aisle, kissed Alexander's tomb in the same way. He bad served under both Emperors, and this, his daily tribute to their memories, was most touching. He is the commander of the fortress at St. Petersburg, and one of the latest acts in the public life of Nicholas was to thank him for his public services. The Czar sent bira the imperial portrait enriched with diamonds. " Upon the walls and around the pillars of the Fortress Church hang trophies taken from the Turks, Persians and French. In this way the Russians have decorated ail their Churches, and there is not a nation but is represented in St. Pe tersburg or Koscum. The English, I believe, are the only exception, but who caa tell how long they may continue so? Above three hundred Persian suns and Turkish crescents here Dow before the cross of the Christians." Typographical Errors. A correspondent of the Columbus Times gives the following melancholy illustration of the uncertainty of the types. A young gentleman by the name of Conkey having been united in the holy bands of wedlock, sent the marriage notice, with a verse of bis own composition, to the printer for publication. Married At Gosham, February the 23th, A. Conkey, Esq , Attorney at Law, to Miss Eupbcmia Wiggins. Love is the union of two hearts That beat in the softest melody ; Time, with its ravage', impart", No bitter fusion to its ecstaoy. He looked with much anxiety for the next issue of the Gosham Sentinel, in order to see his name in print. The compositor, into whose charge the notice was placed, happened to be on a spree at the time, and made a wonderful blunder in setting the type. Here is the notice as printed : Married At Uosham, Feb. ZS, A. Donkey, Esq., Eternally at law, to Miss Euphemia Pig- gins. Jove is an onion of two heads That beats its softest mellowy ; Time with its cabbage heads in carts, No better feeded to an extra day. , The feelings of the said Alexander Conkey, on seeing this piece, an better be imagined than described. - v . ?Hifhaht8 t DvTUBLEf--Thei Treasury, De- nartcaenf sustains the eeurse of Charles Brown.

The affaire at Sebastopol had undergone no change. Large reinforcements of the Allies were ex pected in ten days. Negotiations between Austria and the Wes tern Powers unchanged, but between Austria and Prussia more injimate relations existed. Germany, France and England have present ed an ultimatum to Sweden, which she is in clined to reject. The ceremony of opening the French exhibi tion was rather dull. Pianori has been executed for attempting to asaassinato the Emperor. La e t dates from Sebastopol by mail are to April 30th, and by telegraph to the 12th inst. A terrible combat between the Russians and French took place on the night of the 2-1 th ult. It is represented to be a desperate affair. The Russians attempted to dig new rifle pits, but the French partially prevented them with two hundred French burs du combat. The Russians made a sortie on the night of the llth, on the advanced works of the left, which they attacked and were immediately re pulsed with considerable loss. A short truce was granted on the evening of the lUth, and the Russians allowed so bury their, dead. A new manifesto from the Liar orders an other lew of 12 men to everv 1000 in the seven teen Western province1, to be completed by the hrst ot July. The latest Moniteur publishes the following as Lanrobert s resignation " My shattered health no longer allowing me to continue chief in command, duty towards my sovereign and my country compels me to ask you to transfer the command to I'elissieur, ft skillful and experienced leader. The army which I leave him is full of ardor and conn dence. I beseech the Emperor to given me a sol dier's place as General of a Division." The Minister of war replies on terma of ac ceptance, and gives Canrobert command of the corps of Gen. Pelissieur A despatch from Canrobert, dated May 16tb, says " We continue the works before the place at various points. Vienna, Friday. A new proposition by Au' tria was forwarded yesterday to London and Paris. Austria is to give material support to the Western powers, should tbey accept, and Russia reject the proposition. Mr. Whe, being the hero of the hour, was called upon bv his bappv frends in Wash ington city, the other evening, and in response, proceeded to address them upon the "glorious victory" in Virginia, &o ., Ac., when be was in terrupted by a crowd who finally succeeded, by noises and interruptions of various kinds, in forcing him to stop. We abominate such practices. Fiat justitia mat caelum Let Mr. Wise be heard, even if be does swear. But. quere: has not this leather-lunged individual talked enough? For a man to talk over an entire State, by the week and month, should be sufficient, one would think. Yet, great is the power of wind, and Wise believes in it. Wil. Herald. tSrThe proposition for adding another to our small list of national holidays, to wit : the anniversary of the adoption of the federal con stitution appears to meet with general appro bation. It may have the effect to fix more deeply in the minds of the present and of suc cessive generations a regard for the only form of free government which is consistent with our peace and safety ; the one which has solved the problem of order consistent with liberty, and which, at this moment, begins to be recog nised by wise men abroad as the wisest of all forms of government yet attempted. Alex. Qoz. New Hampshire The Legislature of New Hampshire will assemble on the 6th of this month. It will have to elect two United States Senators.
