Ok this day week?the 16tli inst.?the two rival wing9 of our ancient Virginia Democracy will meet in their respective Conventions?the Breckinridge men at Charlottesville, in Albemarle county, aud the Douglas men in Staunton, in Augusta county. The object in thus meeting on the same dny, and so near together, would seem to be harmony and a restoration of good feeling and old time co-operation especially su on the part of those of that wing who have chosen the day appointed by the others. This idea is strengthened by the fact that in some counties, as in this one, the joint wings have appointed double headed delegations?and these del egations will be Ctted out much after the ?tyle that the Charleston seccders were who had tickets both to Richmond and Baltimore. They will be given roving commissions, nnd be empowered to take lodging with any assemblage of Demo crats '.hoy may find in session during their travels. They will be accredited both to Charlottesville aud Staunton, and which ever place they like best, wherever they feel niostatbome,theretheycan stop. Theprob ability is however, that none of those who have been nominated and spread out so immensely in the papers here, will go. It costs too much money now-a-days to be a Democratic delegate, and times are not like they used to be, when there was a reasonable prospect of getting your monev back. "Old AbeV election is entirely too threatening to make the Democracy here or elsewhere especially desirous to throw away their loose change on the al tar of their bleeding country. Unless some of those appointed have bettor pav ing business on bands than savine the De mocracy, or ume? 111CJ over the roads, we suspect that some far off unheard of alternates will he empow ered to cast the vote of this section. Most likely a couple of the shooting editors of Richmond will chosen, say Charles Irving, of the Index on the part of the Douglas men and Obadiah Jennings Wise, of the Enquirer, on thejiart of the Breckinridge people. The only difficulty in commission ing these patriots is, that they don't speak. They might, however, confer by corres pondence through a nigger errand boy.? The versatility of our friend, Ridgeway, of the Whig, is such that in the eveut of nobody else being found to serve, he would undertake to scatter the vote quite promiscuously. But to come to the point All these conventions, and all these appointments both here and elsewhere, will, we appre !|?^d*, There will be no ridge men are largely in the asccndnncvTn the State over the Douglas meu, and being so much more numerous will look upon themselves as all majorities do_the right ful d.ctators of the terms of compromise. anv ? th7 WiU ?0t comProm'se *Z J ^6lr d,st,nctive Peculiarities as ,? men' f?r !f thC'V d?' bad just as well ground their arms at once - 80rt ?r? compromise can e had?

They went North as fire-eater, and came back conservatives. Morris went North as a Republican, anJ Cftlne back preferring Breckinridge to Lincoln. ? Sure enough, as our friend Dr. Halley "e?"<r""a confrariL The process of manufacturing the water gas from which such excellent results nre claimed in Philadelphia, is thus briefly de scribed: The apparatus consists of a bench of three retorts, which contain charcoal heated to a white heat. Upon the top of this bench of rectorts is a reservoir con taining melted rosin, kept liquified by the heat generated from the charcoal. Into this reservoir steam is injected, which, mingling with the melted rosin, passes into the retort containing the heated char coal, and the gas is produced. It is then conveyed to a gasometer, and is ready for use. Th? decrease of "mother's milk'1 alarms the British Government, who recently ap pointed a commissioner to inquire into resnlts of excessive labor in factories and the welfare of women generally and this commissioner reports:?"That.'the propor tion of mothers of the well-to-do classes, who can nurse their own children is di minishing; that among women whe have on* servant there are ailments which are nnknown among women who have no ser vants; and that these ailments are worse with women who have two servants, and with new complications of hypochondria. amongst women who have three serants.U ... ji TnE Pruntytown Vititor, a paper pub lished out in Taylor comity, by a Mr. Dau Morris, sometime ago commended itself to the patronage of the liberal minded peo ple of that and other sections of Western Virginia, by the course which it took against all sorts of proscriptions for opin ion's sake, against all sorts of discrimina tions in State taxes, and especially against the negro exemption law. Its course ap proached so nearly the political tenets of the Republican party that it was well un derstood, and that, too, upon the strength of the editor's own avowals, that nothing but considerations of expediency stood be tween him and the hoisting of the Repub lican colors. In our presence, and in the presence of others here in Wheeling, at the time of the Republican Convention, he again and again avowed '.lis deep sympa thy with the Republican party, and made a flat proposition to several persons tlint, in consideration of so much indemnity mo ney, he would take his stand on behalf of the Republican nominee. Ilis course was so well understood and approved here that many Republicans not only took his paper, but, wo believe, subscribed gratuities. At least we have good authority for saying that a present of two hundred dollars was made to him. U now becomes our unpleasant duty to warn our friends here and elsewhere of Mr. Morris. We do not believe him to be a trustworthy man. He lins deliberately and bcoadly turned tale on all his profes sions, and gone over to the enemy. And with a hardihood that would be refresh ing, were it not so inefTubly mean, he gives it as hig Deliberate opinion that the South ought to ascertain which of the two, Bell or Breckinridgc, can obtain the largest elec toral vote in the North, and unite their entire strength on that man; for we may rest assured it will require au undivided South, together with all the aid we can procure from the North, to defeat that party that has so justly merited the name of Black Republican. In mitigation of the above extraordinary utterance, it is suggested by one or two persons lieie, who pretend to know Mr. Morris, that he is not at himself, but is ...ff?rinff from one of those abberra tions of mind to which ho has long been subject. We trust, unfortunate as this view of the ense may be,2tiiat it is correct It must be so, or else Mr. Morris, after what he has pretended to within the last few months, must be set down as wholly untrustworthy and as a very venial man.

Nitrate of oxide of glycilc, obtained by treating glycerine at a low temperature with sulphuric or nitric acid, has been found very elficacious in the treatment of neuralgia. One drop mixed with ninety nine drops of spirits of wine, constitute the first dilution. Dr. Field, an eminent physician, tried this new remedy on a lady G8 years of age, who suffered from neuralgia, and experienced relief, when other remedies failed. The fourth part of iVa&agAgtk&\?i$3&t tried in case3 of headache and dental neuralgia with equal success. It is only once in a great while that a candidate for office supplies his followers with sentences sufficiently pointed and pithy for Banner mottoes. The Douglas candidate for Vice-President has done so, however, in one instance, viz: " We believe capital should oicn labor." Why do not the very "Little Giants" adopt this motto? We have the testimony of a noted pick pocket, named Phillippe, recently arrested in Paris, to the effect that crinoline affords better facilities for practising thefts on the unwary than any style previously worn.

" '????: Gntzot'a Opinion of Pnblie Iatfc* In the third volume of bis Memoirs, just published, the last Prime Minister of Lou is Pbillipe, after sketching the history of his Ministry of public instruction, and va rious other topics of great interest, writes thus charmingly about himself: "I have no desire to intrude my private life and feelings on public attention. The more they are profound and tender, the less they are disposed to exhibit them selves, l'or I cannot show them in their in tense reality. Kings exhibit their crown jewels to the inspection of the curious; but we do not parade our private treasures, the value of which are known only to the owners. Yet, when the fatal day arrives in which these invaluable possessions are to be wrested from us, it would be evinc ing toward them a proper want of respect and faith not to declare the esteem in which they were held and the void they have left. I have been strongly attached to political life, and liave applied myself to it with ardor. I have devoted to pub lic duties, without hesitation, the sacrifi ces and efforts they demanded from me; but these pursuits have ever been far from satisfying my desires. It i3 not that T complain of the incidental trials. Many public servants have spoken with bitter ness of the disappointments they have ex perienced, the reverses they have under gone, the severities of fortune, and the in gratitude of inen. I have nothing of the kind to 3ay, for t have never acknowledged such sentiments. However violently 1 may have been stricken, I have never found men more blind or ungrateful, or my polit ical destiny more harsh, than I expected. It has had alternately, and in great abun dance, its joys and sorrows; such is the law of humanity. But it has been in the happiest days, and in the midst of the most brilliant successes of ni3' career, that I have found the insufficiency of nuhlic life. The political world is cold and calcula ting; the affairs of government are lofty, and powerfully impress the thought; out they cannot fill the soul, which has often more varied and more pressing aspirations than those of the most ambitions politi cian. It longs for a happiness more inti mate, more complete and more tender than that which all the labors and triumphs of active exertion and public importance can bestow. What I know to-day, at the end of my race, I have felt when it began, and during its continuance; even in the midst of great undertakings, domestic affections form the basis of life; and the most bril liant enreer has only superficial and in complete enjoyments, if a stranger to the happy ties of family and friendship."

[Lcringtoncorreapondence of tin- New York Herald.] Since his return from Washington the Vice President of the United States has taken quarters at the Pheocnix Hotel in this place. His family arc there with him although .Mrs. B. is at this time on n visit to her relations in Georgetown, Ky. There is not a man living who enjoys a greater degree of personal popularity than John C- Breckinridge, while his family relations are of the most influential, as well as the most pleasurable description. The Breck inridge family nre of themselves a power in the State. " By marriage, Major Breck inridge allied himself to a most worthy and estimable family, whose connections nre among the highest of the genuine Kentucky. noblesse. He married a daughter of Rhodes Burch, Esq., a prominent citizen of Scott county. beautiful. They have five children, three boys and two girls; a truly happy family. Mr3. Breckinridge is regarded now its oue of the most elegant- and fasciuating of Kentucky's fair daughters, while the gal lant Major himself stands a Saul among the handsome men of the State. His form is tall and erect, his mien commanding.? j His features are remarkably expressive, I and marked by the clear lines of good na I turo, combined with a happy and social ! temperament. His eyes would be c-harm j'ing in any man or woman, but in his own I head they are the lights that bespeak a i warm and generous soul, the indexes of a brilliant intellect, nnd nt the same time the signals of a determined will. Major Breckinridge is almost too good looking to be President, for all womankind would then be in danger of falling in love with him, and then what would the people say? Major Breckinridge own3two slaves; house servants. He is not, however, well assured [ of the fact, whether he owns them or they own him, although they arc as likely boys as you will find south of Mason and Dixon's line. They adore' him as a kind and good master. One of these boys is named Sam. He is a lusty fellow, and is allowed every liberty con sistent with his position of servitude.? The Vice President is a member of the Presbyterian Church?an outside pillar thereof. Mrs. Breckinridge is a member of the Baptist persuasion. They arc both regular attendants upon church, but the Major's public duties prevent him giving that attention to religions exercises which his judgment and natural instincts would lead him. He is a devout man nnd a Christian, and never uses profane lan guage, although he chews tobacco. Strict in his religious proclivities, he does not like to talk politics 011 the Sabbuth, although he does not think he is breaking the Dec alogue by inviting a friend to take a little pure Bourbon on the holy day. He keep3 the best Bourbon in Kentuck, but uses very little of it himself?rarely, unless af flicted with the Kentucky diptheria. In a recent interview with him, the conversa tion turned upon the natural productions of Kentucky. Of course, whisky was in troduced?the subject, I mean. Major Breckinridge, with a bland smile, observed that there were two things Kentuckians felt proud of, and those were -'their native inclination to invite a friend to take a lit tle Bourbon when he entered their homes, and to taken little more before he left.1' The Huntington, (Ind.) Herald, vouches for the correctness of the following copy of a note of invitation from a Justice of the Peace of that township:?
