The American Party of Virginia. We are in the midst not only of an animated campaign,' but of a great mora! revolution. However our people may differ, in tliia they all agree, that we are in a crisis not merely of parties, but what is of far more importance, of the country.

No studious observer of affairscan deny or doubt that our State has been much misgoverned, especially of late years. Our Executives and Legislatures have not fulfilled the just expectations of the people. The great questions of our State policy have been made subordinate to profitless discussions of defunct federal issues. Log-rolling has usurped the place of fair legislation, fnstead of* opening a few central highways to connect the great rivers of the West with the Chesapeake, and treating them as works of paramount importance, the Legislature has squandered our treasure on works of local character and doubtful expediency. Our State credit is in disrepute and our finances in disorder, needing for their restoration men of absolute integrity and business capacity. Who can doubt thatin Virginia there is not only roon, but an urgent necessity for a true reform party 3 Does the American party supply this want! We shall endeavor to show that it does. It proposes to change the men and the policy which have been governing the State to stop, as far aa

Dr. John B. Goodwin, a distinguished agriculturist of Franklin county, in a letter to the Brookville American lately, shows very conclusively the fallacy of an objection urged in some quarters the prohibition, liquor law, that the sus pension of disiillmioh will materially affect the price of corn. He say*:

As a producer 1 have examined this question recently and I am convinced that "that dog will not bite." 1 will present the figures, and if any one can draw a different conclusion, I will glad if such a one will present the tsrae to the publio upon the figures and not upon^t^ ,m«ro assertion of a politi cian. jf' *te3n the compendium of the U. S. ceil sus for 1849, we find that the total a mount of corn produced ia the United States for that year was 662,071.104.

Total amount distilled, 11,067,761. Making one bushel distilled to every 63£ produced. In Indiana the same yea were produced 52,961,262.

Were distilled in Indiana^. 1,417^900 or 1 bushel in every 37. Then throwing awsy the computation for the entire United States and suppose that Indiana must consume of her own corn, we find that the distilleries only consume 1 bushel, while 37 are otherwise consumed. Destroy the distilleries (together, and you destroy the market for every 37th bushel of corn or sup pose that corn is 37cts, a bushel which is rarely the case, and that the farmer is compelled to lose entirely the amount for which the distillery would furnish a market, he in that case losses the 37th uart of his price or 1 cent on ,the.„bush

Now to arrive at this loss of 1 cent on the bushel, corn must be 37cts a bushol, and we must suppose that there would no demand whatever fur the com which the distiller consumes This however is not correct, for the distiller produces pork with the corn which he dirtills, some say as much as though the corn was not distilled—they say one half as much. Then if the distilleries cease their work there must be a demand for nt least one half their corn* to pro* duce the hogs which they have formely furnished the markets. This leaves only the loss of 5 milts per bushel upon the extreme presumption that th re could no market found either at home or abroad fur the remaining one half of the corn, which the distiller formerly bought. In Indiana there were made during the same year, 4,482 074 gallons of whisky. Follow that whisky to market—follow into villoges and towns and cities— see it going under the protection of the aw, into the abodes of want and partial starvation, paralyzing the arm of industry, and brutalizing the "image of God,'' and can any honest farmer suppose that if whisky had not been made —if the corn which produced it, was awaiting a market, and the thousands of husbands and fathers who are now lo.t their families, were providing bread for their households, I say can any one fail to conclude that, if destitute families were thus provided for, the surplus cOrn a

The Trans-Atlantic Sub Marine Telegraph Company, composed of English and French capitalists, have entered into contract with the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company—whereby the former are bound to construct and lay down at their own expense and risk, a sub-marine cable extending from Ireland to St. John's, Newfoundland, and to have the same completed and in operation, on or before the 22d day of January 1858. We have already mentioned that the New York, Newfoundland and London Company had contracted for a cable to connect Newfoundland with Cape Breton or Prince Edward's Island, from whence lines are already in operation to New York. This work will be accomplished in the course of the present summer.— We have seen a specimen of the cable to be made for this Company, which is to weigh five tons and two hundred pounds to the mile, and presents a much more finished and compact appearance than the cable now in use between England and the Continent, a short section of which has been exhibited to us. This English line has already been worked four years without alteration or repair, and seems wholly unaffected by time or wear, or chemical action. The two Companies, European and American, each will own the line by it constructed; but their contract obliges them to operate in connection with each other, to the exclusion of all other lines, for the period of fifty years, which is the limit of the American Company's Charter.—<Jour.

Among the numerous discoveries Science has made In this generation to facilitate the business of life—increase its enjoyment, and oven prolong the term of human existence, none can be named of more real value to mankind, than this contri bution of Chemistry to tho Healing Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine or combination of medicines yet known, can so eurely control and.'cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary disease which have hitherto swept from our midst thousands and thousands every year. Indeed, there is now abundant resson to believe a Remedy has at length been found, which can be relied OH),to euro the most dangerous af fections of the lungs.

J. C. Ayek. Dear Sir,—My little son, four years old has just recovered from a severe attack of malignant Scarlet Fever, his throat was rotten, and every person tlmt visited him pronounced him a dead child. Having used yourCnERRY Pectoiial in California, in the winter of 1850,for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with entire success, I was induced to try it on my little boy. 1 gave him a tea spoon full every three hours, commencing in the morning, and by ten o'clock at night I found decided change for the better, and after three days use, he was able to eat or drink without pciu.

is hereby given that sealed 'propo-
