.luguit Ulection.

The result ot the election in :hi3 county and district is cheering indeed. ThcWidgs have certt-inly abundant reason to ;c eigrc.iulate themselves. W e have tne S nat-.r, both Kepresenrativcs, and ail the county offices wir.ii a single exception, and t.;at ivijo we shoti Id have had b;u fur the libera' and giv-rouo r:--u it n Inch prompted ;.-.. on of iie whigs :o cross the line in ! favor, ami adhere to the support of, an old j fr.tr n J and neighbor even when his political friends deserted him for the stronger j candidate. Ti:e contest fur Treasurer, bemg but ween four wmgs and two Locos, was from the iir.-t an unequal one, and was made more so by the cunning management of our opponents, who pretended to he divided between their two candidates when in fact they had succeeded in concentrating almost their entire force upon one. Could only the whigs, who were indc.ce'd to throw away their votes upon Jenkins, have been persuaded of the game that was going on among their opponents the election of Jones or .Wilier would have been certain, but generously confiding in the promises of men whom they supposed as sincerely attached to, and as incapable cf sacrificing, their old neighbor as themselves they obstinately refused to be convinced, and t.ho result" is as above. It will not be so dilticulu t to make them "listen to reason" another time we predict. Notwithstanding our regret at our failure to elect a political friend, however, we are very free to admit that the successful candidate is a gentleman against whom we have as little personal objection as any on the list, and from whem, we are confident, the neop!e may look fur as faithful a performance of the duties of his cilice, ilis course during the canvass was honorable and iihjh minded, and won fur him friends and wed wisncrs een lrovn anions tnosc .j c;jposed him tl Inm the strongest Mr. Llar.i s maoritv is cr.riainl v sllijcient for all useful purposes.' lie the nominee of as resjieetable and fiitiv chosen a convention aseer assembled for a similar purpose, and bein the 'riiicJarnominated can'iauite. an 4 u a-i made to defeat him with another Whi.

V- i ,,. v-i over! mrT in iMickinpham county, a., over uhieli Major Yancey, known as "the wheel-hor-e" of Virginia loco focoi-m preided. Tim meeting passed a resolution declaring that if a National Rank lii'l -hou hi be pissed, it would be the righi and duty "f the loco fo o party to labor for its repeal. Mr. Calhoun enid: He concurred m all the views presented bv the resolutions. It was the first voice heard nganist the corrupting measorea of the preemt session, an.i he r-'joi'-ed to find it coming from the Old Do i minion. If (his bill chartering a bank of the United Statin should pass, lie would go fm its unror.d'uional repeal, and he had r.o he!-ton in maUin U.if -svowil.

But it was not our chief design in referrin; to tliis matter to F.how the clmracitr ol the meeting from which has pioceded tliis 'first voice' ajjiinst the passace nf the bank bill. We wih to call the attention of the rouniry to the dtdarainSiis of Mr. Calhoun, quoted above. This i the same ?dr. ('allmun who. in a speech in 1832. in relation to a national bank, used the following language: I miaht snv with truth that the b?nk owes as much to me as any other individual in the country; am! I might even add that had it not been for my finrt.-i u would not have been chartered. I mu-t content myself with shying, t! at having been on the political s!?ge without interruption from that div to thi., (having been an at trntive observer of ibe queticn of the currency tlirougliont the whole period.) rhr.t the bank has been a: indispeiubble agent in the re?iorut;i;i of specie payments; that without it the restoration could not have he- n r-flVet.-d, flmrt of ilu inter jnMratinn of a'd the moneyed in--ntuttor.s of i!u- cour.try, a:id an efi'.in depreciation of banl paper: and that it ha? not only restored specie payments, bit lias given currency fir mere uniform. !- t'.vten the two cxiremc of the rountrv. i it a ti was sniicip'teti. or tver dreamed of. at ihe lime of ns creation.

CJ i'he mail arrived from Jackson vibe at lialf past 4, bringing letters to a (riend. horn vrhich are derived me follow ing particulars in relation to the late robjbery of ihe B.oik: j On Saturday night, the 19th, . D. j Town, the Teller of the Bank, made a lull development of the facts connected Iwith the robbery to Col.

This course commenced soon after he went into the Uauk three years since and which he had great diftit uliy in conceaiing from d,e former Cashier. lie became more adroit he proceeded in his frauds, and was abb? lt deceive the present Cashier, who had unbounded confidence in Inrs. Town av rred, most soieiimly, that ilie whole sum cseii by him win a little less than 84000, which .vill be the only defieit. The money taken from the vaults of the D .nl; was all recovered by Col. Mather on Monday night. It wan buried in three places: A part of it in the Diamond Grove; part if it north of town on the banens; and dn gold in the ttable lot. The proress ol robbery was commenced on Friday night tstid ended on Sunday night. In his coi fe.-sion to Col. Mather, he implicated no 0n34-J.se, nor did he at any nine i i - t r literwanis. ue assigned a? a reason for desirovmg the. books id' the B?;ik, th.ii had he not done So, ihey would have ts tablished lis pnst famis; and llr.it if lie had been imun dia'ely arrested, he never would have made any disclosure.

As soon as be arrmd. a iarge crowd colleen d, and it was with difficulty that an entrance could be tffeied into the Court liot:e. The examination was conimc n-ed, but postponed to ihe next day. when Col. Mather detailed all the circumstances, and the eonb ssion which had been mails to him. Town was fully com mil ted. 15 il othe amount of SU00O was n quired; but, as it was deemed too high, he w,. removed to Springfield, by h itnz corpus, to procure a reduction of ihe stun. To show the excitement width prevailed', it is stated, that some of the citizens who followed Col. Mailier. rode 60 miles in five hours firt to overtake him. and ihen to return and j;ive the news that he was on his wav back. Throughout the whole affair. Town acted with perfect indifference; and even after his arrest he wrote a note lo his ...:r, i. .i. . i :..

We give it for what it is worth: Salt is said to bo a complete preventative against the destruction of wheat by weevil. Mix a pint of salt w ith a barrel of wheat, put the grain in old salt barrels, and the weevil w ill not attack it. In stackiptr wheat four or five quarts ot salt to every hundred sheaves, sprinkled among them, will entirely secure them from the depredations of the moeeis. and render the straw more valuable as food for cattle."
