No doubt John Letcher was elected by Ab olition, votes, and we have a good reason for saving eo, independent of what the Tribune lias said "upon the subject. "We know by ob servation that the people of .Northwestern Virginia that portiotf bordering on the Ohio riv er and Pennsylvania are as thorough Ab olitionists as any Freesoilers in Jlassachu .ett.. Tending the canvass when Governor Wue was running for the office which he now holds, it bo happened that we, in the pursuit of business, spent much time in Northwest ern Virginia, and at Wheeling, where the canvass was 'hotly conducted by the friends of Mr. Wise, who were avowed Abolitionists; and it was there he received his heaviest sup port, which elected him. The same persons, no doubt, voted for John Letcher." Not only did the Abolitionists of that section of .Vir ginia vote for Wise, but many hundreds came over from Ohio and Pennsylvania to aid their brother Abolitionists and they were openly allowed to vote, for the Judges and the peo ple Were of one mind upon the subject.

This done, a few weeks will take the road to Newton. We noticed that all the work on this ruad was dune in the best man-. Truly Cheering. A short times since the impression widely prevailed that crops of all kinds had beenVe- ricusly injured by the late frosts of the past spring, and present summer. We are pro foundly grateful to learn from our exchan gee,, however, that that opinion was prema turely entertained. Iniew York and Indi ana, where it was at first supposed the. frosts had done most damage, it is now discovered that no detriment has resulted to the wheat crop, but on the contrary that the yield is im mensefar more than an average one in quantity w hile the quality is unusually fine. A gentleman, who writes from Indianapolis, states that all the heads of wheat in fields ex amined by him "have six rows of grains in stead of four the usual number," Intelli gence from every direction in regard to other crops is similarto the above relative to wheat, with tfee exception of fruit, which, iu certain localities, has been materially damaged, and therefore curtailed in -quantity and rendered inferior in quality. Altogether, the crops are abundfint probably never were so good uni versally, both in Europe and America and furnish a gooI and substantial reason why we should be dqvoutly thankful to the great "(iivep of every good and perfect gift." It may be remarked here, that the danger to wheat from late frosts is not so great a? is generally supposed. It is a hardy and endu ring plant.. In 181t a late spring frost oc curred in a 'portion of New York "by which the stalks of wheat were actually frozen, and the yield from the same fields was forty bush els to the acre of prime. Genesee." . Whose is the Discredit ? Whilst 'the paternity of the notorious Thir ty Million proposition is claimed by a Wash ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun for the hoary-headed swindler of Plaquemiue celehritv, (Slidell, of Louisiana,) the Raleigh Democratic I'ress strenuously insists that .it owes its existence to.Mr. Branch, the Demo cratic candidate for Congress in that District, To which of these patriots shall be conceded the infamous notoriety of the authorship of this hideous bantling? While we are not at all ambitious that the Old North State shall have any .part or lot in-its origin, we think Mr. Branch ought to be allowed the coveted dishonor of its parentage, as a partial ofTVetto the sooly wreath of infamy won in 1844 by his Louisiana competitor for the prize, in the shape of the most stupendous and diabolical election frauds that stain the pages of Amer ican partisan history. Yes, let Branch have it, if only for Slidell's sake; for infamy, like misery, often covets company. Death! of F. E. Boner Esq. The Winston 'tienhiel of the 24th ult. came to us draped in mourning, ami announcing the death of the above-named gentlentaji';i'ne of the Editors of that pa per. Mr. Boner died of consumption at the earH age of 2oi years. We -had. not the pleasure ot a personal ac-q-ainjance with him, but have often heard hinji spoken of by others, Who knew him well, a: a high-toned, intelligent gentleman, a waijm friend, and a consistent Christian.

' 1 S y-' I'X-'i ' fi The Democratic pres3 pf this District is en deavoring to raise a thundering f hub-bub" about an allege attempted deception by Gen. Leach, who, it is charged, while exposing the thievish extravagance of the present Admin istration, pretended to read from Secretary Cobb's report, but in reality read from a pa per which had been placed between the leaves of that document. The item complained of by the partisans of Mr. Scales, and which, it ia said, is not to be found in the SeoreUry's report, is the cost of certain looking-glasses which were provided during the laat Congress for the use of $3,000 a year M. C's. Com pared with the toUl annual expenditures, it is but a small matter at most a mere drop in the ocean and, in this view, is scarcely worth, the time required to state the fact. The glasses in question, about which this "tempest in a tea-pot" i raised, COST ON LY $9,565.00! ! Now, what is that to kick up a breeze about ? We should suppose that every body had become used to such insigni ficant items by this time. They certainly have not been of uncommonly rare occur rence for the last few vears, that this one should be productive of such a mighty noise, not because it is untrue, but because it was read by Gen. Leach from the report of J. C. Allen, Clerk of the House of Representatives of the last Congress, and not from the report of Secretary .Cobb. Both of th ese reports are official documents parts of the history of the transactions of Government and the au thors of both are, in the modern sense of the terra, Democrats of the thoroughest sort. 1 They simply, and we presume truthfully, state the amount of the public expenditures from year to year, and Gen. Leach, or any other person, has a perfect right to read them and comment upon the facta they contain as much as he or they please to do so. If truth fully dealt with, what harm can there be in this ? And that Gen. Leach did so deal with the statements of the documents! alluded to, and with the people who heard him at Fra- ley's, as well as at all other places where he and Mr. Scales have met in discussion, no candid man will pretend to deny, who is ac quainted with the topics involved in the con troversy. This is the whole matter. Where fore, then, the necessity of complaint ? The truth of Gen. Leach's statement being'admit- ted on all hands, it is not of the slightest mo ment from what source he derived his infor mation. To make an issue of the declaration that a candidate for Congress, or any other place of trust, must make all his statements upon the authority of one public document, to the exclusion of all others, equally, or, it may be, more reliable, would be to call the attention of the people away from true, practical, and profitable questions of governmental policy, to useless and, therefore, profitless non-essentials. Yet, this ia the Very thing the leaders of the Democracy, headed by Mr. Scales, are laboring might and main to do in this Dis triet. Mr. Scales has been fairly beaten on the cardinal issues of the canvass complete ly headed overwhelmed by the bold and powerful oratory and unanswerable argumen tation of Gen.. Leach, and he clearly perceives that bis only imaginable chance of salvation is the subterfuge of creating and seeking in unimportant side issues based upon untruth though they be that exoneration from the crushing weight of the executive and legisla- nowin rxwert which. Foote lampoons so last' Uy ' for iter numerous corruptions and abuses ; but we are 4bposed 'to regard him a a much bkterpoUticmii than any leader or official member of the dominant faction of Lis party. Gen HoustonjUke feojst jnen, who have had a taste of office, finds it hard work to star "retired." He is to be a candidate for Governor of Texas this Summer, in opposi tion to Gov. Runnells. Wha the General's politics are nowadays we do not precisely know; bat a Texas letter to the Journal of Commerce says that forsorae time past he has been evidently gaining in public favor, and that his political friends are very sanguine that he will be elected. v.. - - The Daily Bulletin informs its readers that a few weeks ago a Democratic caucus in. Lowndes county, Ala., nominated as one of its candidates for the Legislature, Mr. Brooks, a cousin of Hon, P. S. Brooks who caned Sumner. Mr. B, declined the nomination, but he has since accepted a call to become one of the anfe'-Democratic candidates for the Legis lature, supported by the Southern rights and Opposition parties. His colleague on the tick et is Judge Gilchrist, who has long and ably represented Lowndes County in the Senate of Alabama, as a Whig or American. The suc cess of this ticket can hardly be doubted. Since the establishment of the United States mint, the coinage has amounted to $651,639,009, of which $208,511,168 was coin ed from foreign gold.
