'Not Ccesar's weal, bat that of Rome." THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 16, 1S15. REMOVAL. We have removed our Office to the comer of Main and First streets, over J. M. StockwelPs Wholesale Dry Goods Store entrance on First street. Benefits of Advertising. An eastern correspondent of the Richmond Whig, in noticing the unparalleled prospeiiiy which has attended certain Commercial and Manufacturing houses whichjhe visited,says: In order to secure customers they ADVERTISE freely, which is all essential if a merchant or business man wishes to be successful. Fo: instance, one of these Clothing Stores pays to the Boston Atlas alone, upwards of Six Hundred dollars a year for Adcertijting!" lie mentions several men who had begun with a capital of $25, but who had grown enormously rich, and one of the great means depended on was advertising fieely. He acknowledge that he was drawn to their store by seeing their advertisements, as well as hundreds of other strangers. In fact, strangers almost invariably go to houses they see freely advertised. Kinne's Quarterly Law Compendium. rrWe have received the October number of this work, and cannot refrain from again call i.ng the attention of members of the bar to ii, as one of the most useful, as it is decidedly the cheapest Law publication issued from the press. The present number contains 60 pages of recent American and British cases, selected with judgement and arranged in a very convenient manner manner for re ference. Beside the oilier advantages of fhe work, we perceive by the present num. ber, that "the names and residences of the subscribers will be published in the next January number.' This alone to the western practitioner will be worth the price of sub scription $1. Subscriptions will be received at this of fice. cene o Court. Two civil saints, one oftheminthe name of Catharine Waddle against Philander S. Wood for the seduction of her daughter Jane, and ths other in the name of Jane against Philander for seducing liei, (all the parries of and from Louisville.) - were recently instituted at Etizabethlown, Ky. At the setting of the court the ladies were on hand "like a thousand of jbrick," but jthe gentleman was not ready yet. The Register of that place relates the following scene which look place upon the adjournment of the cases. The ladies claimed their attendance, and were in the act of leaving the court-house, - wlien, just at the door, Miss Jane encounter ed the unhappy Philander. A scene en sued. The lady, with a scream and an oath, shook her fist in the unfortunate young man's face and seemed disposed to take one sad memento, (a lock of his hair,) whether he was willing or pot. The old lady, who was just behind her daughter, hearing the outcry at the door, ploughed her way through the crowd like a steamboat. So soon as she got within striking distance, she pitched at Philander, and fought and swore and blasphemed like other ladies of a certain class. This was too much for any mortal to bear. If Job had been treated in this way, we might have had another melancholy instance of the frailly pf his race. We lookd at Philander. He was a monument ot greatness in ruins." After . a short struggle with his tormentors he was taken with a sudden and violent fit of absquatulaiion, like "Carter Robertson's cow, he evaporated and left no tracks presumable.' The ladies, who, in man v particulars, much resemble certain others ladies, seemed quite in their element. Afier the usual exultations over their victory they retired amidst shouts of applase, and shortly after took their leave for LouisvUIe, at it was said, to avoid an indictment for an assault with whic.'i the opposite counsel threatened them. Important Notice to Postmasters.The Union of the 19th of September gives the following important notice to postmasters throughout the country. We call upon them to read it with the greatest care and attention. f)Ve are desired to call the attention of postmasters to regulation No.549, which pro vides for the convenient transmission of mo ney from subscribers foedilors of newspapers. Jt is tne duty ot postmasters to receive the money from a subscriber and give a receipt lorii; it is the duly ot the postmasters to receive the money from a sucsenber and give . a receipt for it. It is the duiy of the postmaster receiving the money le give notice to the postmaster who has it to pay, of the amount received, and for what editor and mark the letitr "official business," and sign his name to it.The post master receiving the notification will pay the receipt wneu piesenteu, Ihe subscribe who gets the receipt may send it by mail oi otherwise to the editor. Ihe new law prohibits postmasters from enclosing and franking money to editors. The reason of the rule is obvious. A large portion of the money

(heretofore lost in being transmitted through

the mails, is money sent to editors and franked by postmasters. The frank of a postmaster upon the letter addressed to an editor, is notice to every one who handles the letter that it contains money. This rule when understood, insures the payment ot the mone wiu.o'it discount to editors, and avoids dep redations upon the post ofnce. ' THE NEW YORK LETTERS. The papers are filled with these letters, and, the comments of the Editors thereon. That our readers may learn something of the manner in which the politics of the locofoco parly are carried on by the leaders,and their corruptness, we give a small batch to-day and may continue them hereafter. The sen sation which the startling exposition has cre ated, seems to be an immense, and the ef fect must undoubtedly be to prostrate the Al bany Regency in all its ramifications and to demolish Locofocoism forever in the Empire Slate. The Locofoco papers of New York city are enraged at the appearance of these letters and descant furiously about the violation of the sacredness of private correspondence, but even they cannot conceal their conviction from their readers that the exposition will fall with a crushing weight upon those who have hitherto been the leaders of their party. The New York Morning News, the leading Locofoco paper of the city, says: Altogether, the book is at once one of the most amusing and disgusting afiairs 'e have ever known issued from the press of this country. The New York Globe, Slarum's paper, which is of the subterranean order of Democracy, says: The letters are published to the world. Some of them are harmless and innocent and of no kind of moment. Oihers tell of political corruption and chicanery, and of a laxity of morals in men who bear unspotted reputa tions in out community, the exposure which cannot fail to be productive of good lo the Democratic parly, thougu it shake the pos tions of many who now have its confidence. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce, the editor of which is a strong loco, says: They ought to be universally read, that people may know what political patriotism is made of, how it is got up and sustained, and for what ends. We are told that an immense number of copies were sold yesterday. The notorious Bennett,of the Herald.whose letters figure in the publication side by side with Van B urea's, &a, says: The letters in this pamphlet display a sel oftasles and purposes anolhing but moral or creditable. The singular mixture of piety and humbug in Mr. Buller's the strange conglomeration of profaDiiy and stock job bing in John Van Buren's, and the peculiar qualities of Martin's himself, will be much relished by all parlies. The only regret we have is, that we are found in such bad company; but that is ;he last period of our life in which we will bejbund among such miserable politicians; we found them out in the the right time, and will never be caught in their company again. The Courier and Enquirer, which stro ug ly condemns the publication of the letters, says: The consequences of this publication to the chief conespondencts of Mr. Hoyt, (he influence it is lo exercise npon their charac ter, and the unveiling of intrigues of hearts thus brought about, cannot be recalled. There are those made manifest in these pa ges who might gladly invoke the mountains to fall on and cover them. The N. Y. Commercial, one of the calm-! est and most dispassionate papers in the coun try, say: I So far as we have read, the book tells awfully against the friends and p-irtisans of Mr. Van Buren alone. It is a formidable armory of weapons to be used in demolishing the political aud personal reputation of that gentleman and of ail who have moved under his pulling of wires. Is he still a lion in the path of Mr. Polk, or of any other present aspirants to the future P.idency? We do not know that we shall publish any of the letters. It is dreadful to read such withering expo sures ot political profrgacy, such shocking exhibitions ot venahly, chicanery, hypocracy and fraud. The Albany Evening Journal speaks thus: Theyihe letters reveal the secret machi nations of a baud ol systemilic traders in pol itics, wno. lor years, have lived upon Ihe credulity and abused the confidence of an honest people. Now for a few of the letters: Benjamin to Jesse "on the great Salration." Sandy Hill, March 27th, 1819. Dear Friend. " You have really a fine state of political confusion at Albany. I think the situation of the Governor De Witt Clinton is uauy pecommg more desperate. I am more pleased with my duties. They require industry and attention, but ihey give me more leisure than J had while in Albany, and lurnish mo more easily wall sufiicient to provide lor my household. The only difficulty here is the want of the siaieo preaenmg oi me gospel, iiad we a faithful and respectable minister, and were the people more anxious for and attentive lo religion I should have nothing to ask for, but the continuance of heahh to make this place delightful. The contrast between Albanv and Sandy Hill in this particular is great. You do not at all estimate as vou ou"!n the peculiar privileges you enjoy. They are re markably great - . . The Gospel is either a "savour of life unto life, or oi ':death unto death." Aud how

can those "escape who neglect so great salvation?" ' Yours truly. BEJAM1N F. BUTLER. Now after grace, for a touch of Finance: Sandy Hill, June.29th, 1819. Jesse Hoyt, Esq, 111 States st. Albany. Dear Hoyt. Thefenclosed will show you

how the "world wags." One of those persons that 1 told to wait until their turns came, was the young patroon, who had 4 or $500 taken for rent due his father. If you know him as I believe you do I wish you would fall in with him, and ask his opinion I know it will be favorable although I did not pay him, because he sat within my counter, and read the papers, and drank wine with me tor two or three hours before the bank closed, and saw every man who had come from adistancejor was poor and needy paid in spscie without a moment's delay. Now, it his opinion is friendly, I dare say it will pass cerrentj and be a legal tender in your dutch metropolis, and it would answer for circulation, &c. Let me hear how every thing goes and what is said and done at Albany. Yours truly, B. F. BUTLER. Seal and send the enclosed after reading it. If the loan will) Baird was concluded, and you expect the specie on Thursday, you may perhaps ask Caleb Uarkcr to stay for it If not, tell him there will not be a load until next week. He and every body elre thinks I have tons of it on the way. Per Mr. L.Clark. Sandy Hill, July 1, 1819. Jesse Hoyt, Esq., Albany. Dear Sir. The enclosed you will send by the first boat, after reading it, &c. I send you 25 Times. You see how boldly we f come cut. 1 have deliberated long before I venturedgit but, as it's a part of my "budget of ways and means," have at lengih concluded to run the hazard. If ihe specie for Schuyler's note could be obtained, you could send it by the bear er. Send the papers on Saturday. ; Tell me what you think of my bulletin. Yours truly, B. F. BUTLER. President Butler to Mr. Hoyt. Sandy Hill, July 3d 1819 11, A.M. Dear Hoyt, All goes on well. Caleb arrived, last night, with the re-inforcement Your 'extract1' was tcell timed. I wish you would keep the Albany merchants back. It's rather had friendship lo get our bills together and post I hem up here, say 30 days sooner than they ' would otherwise come. A I the worst they would go into the hands of Brokers, which is the best place in the world tor me. I have received a very begging, coaxing letter from Mr. Olcott, but as Wiswall's money is not half paid, I don't trouble myself about it. Yours truly, B. F. BUTLER. We cannot follow this interesting correspondence, which is -"s rich as this lo the end. Benjamin writes Jesse, on July 7lh, that he has paid out specie "very liberally since it arrived, but shall now hold up" (July 10,) that"I will rathar sutler the public to fret a itile than hazard the safety of the Institution by paying out too fast" (little learofihai) 'I pay $700 to $1,000 daily chiefly in specie satisfying all proper and faircalls"'aud (Aug. 21) that "the Uank will keep pay ing in a slow way, etc, etc. Meantime Hoyt had inserted in the Albany Daily Advertiser an "extract from a letter dated Sandy Hill, June 29ih," which Butler writes to him (July 3d) was well timed." The "extract" is as follows, Sajsdy Hill, June 29, 1S19.' "The run upon the bank still continues, but t lie alarm in this section of ihe country is wholly subsided. The appearance of Mr. Baikerin good health and spirits among us, satisfied the people th st ihe Washington and Warren Bunk would sustain no loss by his temporary suspension. All are delighted wiih the accommodation disposition of Mr. Butler, the President. .When there were more calls than his own hands could satisfy; he called in neighbors to assist him in paying. And when there were more than all could attend to, he requested those persons that came with the bills, to lay ihem down and take as many dollars in specie as they brought in bills and retire to give room to others. Many came and saw the counter loaded down wiih gold and silver, and went away satisfied that all was well, and that Sandy Hill was not with out its 'grains of gold.' You may tell your Albany Banks that ihey had better be a little more sparing of their denunciations, for their own vaults may have to alone for the sins of their keepers. Sell all the goods you can for those notes. But you had bet ter not send up until the alarm has proved groundless, as you may be trod on in the crowd. When vou do send, however, vou will always have the preference over brokers in being wailed upon, for we do not much admire those leeche3 upon the body politic in this part or the countty." Uu the Dili of I ebruary following, the notes of the Washington and Warren bank were selling in this city at 371 els. oa the dollar; on the 4lh ot March, Co cents. Mr. Butler was notified by Jacob Barker about this time that his salary as President could not be paid much longer, so he resigned the Presidency, which he appears lo have failed with decided industry and zeal, and no little ability, considering that he was then green in finance, and hardly 25 years old. We are bewildered by the multitude of rich letters before us, and the seeming necessity of doing "equal and exact justice" to all the dirty inirigues here pilloried. As, however, our specimens have hitherto been taken mainly from tne 'Old Hunker' side of the house. 'We shall take as our next subject a choice 'Barnburner,' no less a personage lhan Pnnce John Van Buren, the Attorney General himself. - The Attorney General's letters here published were mainly written in 1834, wheu the land was convulsed with the throes of ihe great excitement caused by the removal of ihe deposites. 1 hat high-handed and most calamitous act of despotism was regarded by intelligent minds and patriot hearts throughout ihe Union with deep alarm and with apprehensions which have since been amply realized. But Prince John appears to have ta-

ken a thoroughly practical view of the matter and never once regarded it in any other than

these aspects 'now shalll gamble in stocks to make money by it? How can I safely plunder the whigs by betting on the elections? now can l financier the meaus of my stock jobbing operations?" These fifteen or twenly letters are nearly all like the folio wlug: Albany, postmark Oct. 7. Paid 25 cents. Addressed to Mr. Hoyt, at New York. No. 9 My Dear Hoyt They say 'the blood of the Martyrs is the seedof the Church,' and heaven knows 1 have been lreely tapped in the good cause. the rem. (removal) ot the dep. (deposites) cost me a fortune, and now I don't see but I must lose another hunk of my little earnings. My impression is that stocks will co up till election, and fall immediately after If the poor w lugs could carry a Constable somewhere and get up a Jubilee, stocks would rise. New Jersey may go for them and give them a Clip, but Penna will knock ihem stiff next week so will Ohio and so will New York. If you could get the difference bet on Marcy, I should say sell by all means and oow I don't know but you had belter sell. Do exactly as you see fit. I shall be down before it falls due, probably-meantime I should be most particular obliged to you, if you can ge t me an even bet against Marcy for any amount less than Five thousand dollars. I think I would bet $100 on each 1,000 majority up lo 5000. I would bet $1,500 against $1,000 on an even election. I consider Marcy 's election, by from 7,500 to 15, OUU majority, assure as god. You know best how much the Patterson is worth, and you must do exactly as if it was your own and, 1 shall be satisfied. Yours truly, J. V. B. . Make me some bets if possible P. S. The whigs may gather pluck after some meetings or some things. P'm'k Alb., addressed to Mr. Hoyt in N. York. , (No. 10.) MyDear Jesse I should think you right about selling the Patterson, if it wilt not do to hold. By the looks of Webb's paper altho? it is intended no doubt to operate on New Jersey the opposition gained confidence. Can you tempt them with a wager oa 3 4. and 5000 majorities 200 dollars on each, or $500 on 4000.. If neither of them can be got to-morrow, bet them $jOO on 5000 maj. There will be no belting after to-morrow Save the order for Bost. and Prov. open the Mah. is all right. We have nominated a strong ticket, though Ned Livingston is the Assebly man, contrary to all expectation. Youre, ever truly, J. VAN BUREN. Albany. Oct 12, 1S34. P. S. WILL ALSO BET UPON FIVE THOUSAND majorily for Lucus in Ohio. The following is not very lucid, but it seems to indicate pretty good financeringfor a Barnburner. No. 15. P'm'k Albany, August 23rd., and addressed to Mr. Hoyt, Wallst., N. York. Single. My Dear Jesse. On enquiry I find that I can get one of the Banks in this city to deposit, subject to their own order, such sum as may be requisite to make the arrangement of which we spoke, in any bank in N. York, say the Fulton, that they may choose; this will answer the purpose, provided you can get the bank selected to loan you the money on your note. All our banks are nearly up to their limit; and 1 cannot borrow the money. The Bank here will charge the Bank there 6 per cent. int. on the deposit and you will pay 7 prooably. If this meets your views, you will please advise me by return mail. If you agree to gite me half the profits of the enterprise for making this arrangement, please send me a stipulation to that effect, signed by yourself and Cutting, when you write. Your note might be made payable on demand,with an understanding that you should pay il when our bank calls on the New York bank for the deposit, which will no be till we see fit. Yours truly, J. VAN BUREN. Albany, Aug. 23, 1839. All the betting part of the Prince's correspondence is a striking confirmation of ihe old saw that 'as the cock crows, the young ones learn.' On page 42, we find a letter from Martin Van Buren to Jesse Hoyt, post marked Albany, Nov. 8, 1828, free, M. Van Buren, .announcing the triumph of Jackson in the State and Nation, his own election as Governor, and containing this characteristic Dassaoe: "We shall therefore have votes sufficient lo put Jackson's election out of all question, and what is over is only important on the score of bets. Who can now wonder that the son goes it blind in the full size of his pile on "5,000 for Marcp?" - And, by the way, it is now time we had a touch of the quality of "spoils," himself. Here is a letter giving his verson ot the once famous "Pantaloons" patchwork. He is running for Governor and writes lo Hoyt thus: Senator Marcy to Mr. Hoyt of New York. My Dear Sir: Vour letter of Monday evening I received thi3 morning and with il a breeze from ihe South, that gives some ofi our folks a chill. The opposition pretended to have certain information that Uitner is elected. Though we do not yield to this belief, still we are less confident now lhan we were yesterday of Wolfe's election. As to the Pantaloons affair, perhaps I am not the person best qualified to advise. Though the charge is right in. itself, yet it it must be regarded as an unfortunate one, because so easily turned into ridicule. The explanation issimply this: When Comptroller, I had always made

war on lumping charges, because I was sat

isfied many frauds against the btate had been perpetrated by them. The law provided the payment of the Judge's expenses in holding the Special Circuit." 1 kept a particular account of them, which was handed to the Comptrol-J ler. Some work was done, while on the busi ness, on pantaloons, for which the tailor charg ed fifty cents; it was entered on the account and went into the Comptroller's hands without a particular reflection about how it would appear it", print. feared no danger because I knew no sin. I cannot advise how to treat the subject best. The article in the Argus headed tmA very grate affair, is perhaps as full an explainalion as the transaction will admit of. But it will be well to connect il, if much must be said on it, with the g-eat frauds and pecu lations of Holley, Van Tuyl, John V. IS! Yates,(who,I believe,for the love ofme,writes many of the scurrilous articles in our pa pers) in appropriating $S00 of Peddler's Licence, I ees, &cr Now as to my xcar-services, a more agree able subject, I was out two campaigns in '12 on the northern frontier, belonged lo the parly which took from the enemy, at Stf Regis, the first stand of colors taken in the late war, on land, and the first prisoners, about 40 in number. These prisoners were captured in a house built of square timber. 1 personally head ed the parly that look them myself broke open the house, entered it, and took from the hands of the soldiers their arms. I care not how much this matter is hand led, but rather they would let my pantaloons alone. I also return your remarks. Yours sincerely, W. L. MARCY. Now for a touch of Mr. Bennett, of the the New York Heald, and we are done this week : PiiiLADELrniA, 27th of July, 1833. Dear Hoyt: I have written to Van Euren to-day about the old affair. I MUST have a loan of $2500 for a couple of years from some quarter. I can't get out without it and if the common friends of our cause those I have been working for 8 years can not doit I must look for it somewhere else. My business "here is doing very well, and the money would perfectly safe in two years. You see already the effect produced in Pennsylvania, we can have the State. But if our friends will not lay aside their hearlliness we'll go to the devil that's all. There is no man who will go farther with friends than I will, who will sacrifice more, or work harder; you know it very well. 1 must be perfectly independent of the little sections in this city, who would hurry me into their small courses, at the risk of the main object. Kendall leaves Washington to-morrow on his lour of Btnk iii3p3ction. Let me here from you ; yours, JAS. GORDON BEN N ETT The comments of the Tribune is almost aa rich as the letters themselves, but we can not find space this week for more. Altogeth er it is a rich book dirty and filthy though it be and will find readers. MARYLAND ELECTION. The Baltimore Patriot in speaking of the late election in Maryland says: The accounts from the counties show that there was great apathy among the Whigs, which has lost us several counties, and rendered it doubt ful which party will be in the majorily in the House of Delegates. There was no elec tion tor the State Sen ale, except in Cecil to fill a vacancy, where McCullough," (L. F.) has been chosen. The next Senate will therefore consist of 11 Whigs and 7 Locofocos. We have no returns of Congress from the Gth district, composed of Talbot, Dorchester, Somerset, and Worcester counties. We sup pose, however, that the Whig candidate (E. II. Long) is elected, of course. The can idates elected from the other districts are as followes: 1st Dist. John G. Chapman, (W.) 2d Thomas Perry, (L. F.) 3d 4th 5th T. W. Ligon,(L.F.) " W.F.Giles,(L.F.)

If they have done so, we shall have 43 delegates and the Locofocs 39, in the House. The whole number of delegates is 82, and the Locos must therefore get three more than it is ascertained they have now,to give , them a majority. We do not believe they will get them.

P. S. We have a report from Somerset

"Po tomac," the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, is very often a sore thorn in the side of the Administration and its or gan, the Union. In fact Mr. Ritchie had rather "Potomac' were at the bottom of tho river than where he is he cuts the old gentleman up so. The Union is all the time asserting that utmost harmony prevails among . tits n n r3 f rm VMnntVvnvn ilni n mi mUaiiI a l ington,and as often as such assertion s made, "Potomac" as regularly asserts to the contrary, and proves it too. Here are a few ex tracts from his last letter: "Is it not singular that the Hon. William J, Brown, Chief Clerk of the Auditor's Office in the Post Office Department, who wat surmised, by a correspondent of the New York Herald, to have been on a trip to Indiana to put a slop to tho movement to start a Cass organ at Indianapolis, and.to engage the Indiana Delegation to the next Congress to vote for the organ editor as printer. as a means of earning for himself the Third Auditorship, now held by Peter Hagner, should deny in the Union under bis own name, only a part of the indictment? Mr. Brown went to Indiana, and the movement to start the Cass organ was "knocked into a cocked hat," but he says that he did nothing in the way of getting votes forgiving the Congress printing to the organ, and that when he obtains o flics it will be upon a pledge faithfully to perform its duties. He really speaks as if he had now no office, but may have one! Good, I am for him. He shall yet have an Auditorship! He ie ambitious and nerertiring. When he puts his hand to the plough there is no looking back. He can't beheaded or.circumvented that William J. Brown! And he goes the right way to work, to wit: healing the division of the party and writing editorials for the Union. The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says that Mr. B. wrote the article in theUnion of the 18th ult. praising the lion Cave Johnson in grand style and replying in terms of mildness and peisuaiion, to some stric tures of the St. Louis Reporter upon the course of the Post Master General in relation to the Western interests. 'Could you but see the letters that I am permuted to see, ana near wnai l caunoi neip nearing, Ironi leading Locofocos, against a great many of Mr. Polk's appointments, and particularly those of Collector Horn of Philadelphia, and Collector Morton of Boston, you would be slow to believe in the popularity of the Administration among its own partizans, or that Mr. Polk could possibly repose on a bed of roses. "A warm friend of Senator Benton assurer me with an arch smile, that if there be any coalition oetween me ioionei anu me nuunuiHiiuuii, the latter has to present arms and to kneel to the great Missouriafi in proof of which the fact was adduced that a few days since, when ColBenton visited the ceremonies of the Columbian College, at Mr. Brown's Church jn this city, and was escorted up the aisle to where the President and bis Cabinet Ministers were bowing and smiling to receive him, he suddenly turned on his heel, so soon as ha saw into what company they were ushering him; aud, with all the frowning dignity of his nature, walked off to another part of the Cli urch and took a place by himself! "But the Colonel is himself sometimes cct even as he would cut others. There is a little quizzical looking old gentleman now stopping in this city, named Graham, who is writing a Life of John Randolph, of Roanoke. He is a terrible Jackson-Pclk-Democrat, though he thanks bis Maker,fhe says, that he always has been and still is a' Federalist! He hates Mr Clay, whom he delights to call "Henry Bargain.' He formerly admired Mr. Benton, but now curses him, on account, he says, of the Colonel's course on the Texas question! You t would laugh to hear the venerable old gentleman abuse those whom he dislikes. It is the most hearty abuse in the world. Well, the other day, a very affable and polite gentleman walked up with Col. Benton to Mr. Graham, an with all the good intentions in the world, introduced the two distinguished "democrats." Mr. Benton advanced, of course, graciously and politely to shake the hand of tba little old Historian of Randolph, when lo! Mr. Graham, with a contemptuous sneer, wheeled to the left, about and walked off in Randolphian magesty '.Tliejfeelingaof all three ofthe gentlemen concerned may belter be imagined than described . ; POTOMAC.
