Clilckta Cholera.
Mr. Martin Smith, of Harrison county, has
Ion 150 out of 250 chickens belonging to
him within the last ten days. The disease
is unknown. The chickens are seized with
a violent sickness resembling cholera, and
die io the short space of three or four hours.
None taken ever recover, although the life ot
one was sustained for about a week by ad
ministering whisky and pepper. The chick
ens of Mr. Smith, before the appearance of
the disease aenug them, were in remarkably
tiue condition.—Louisville Journal,
[Communicated.
I a the vote in the Senate of the l uited
States, upon the bill authorizing the people
of Minnesota Territory to form a Constitu
tion and Stato Government, it will be per
ceived that the Southern Democracy, except
ing Mr. Toombs, joined the Americans ip
support of their doctriue against unnaturali
zed alien suffrage; whilst the Northern Demo
crats, excepting Mr. Thompson, of New Jer
sey, and Mr. Brodhead, of Pennsylvania,
joined the Republicans in favor of it. W here
now stand Cass, Douglas, and Bigler, the
Buchanan leaders last fall? Why,fusing
wiih the supporters of John C. hremont,
against the Ihunocracv of the Sooth. * _
COMMERCIAL. _
Monetary.
We have no new features to note in our mar
ket lor the past week—the demand for money
c mtinues largely in advance ot the supply.
Our Banks are still discounting sparingly, throw
ing borrowers on the street, where the rates still
continue high, clogging the operations ot our
business community generally.
Owing to the general scarcity of money, we
have no sales of local stock worthy ot note. We
quote Eastern Exchange j; Sterling >i to
Virginia Sixes, at the New York Board, 91* to
92.
We quote Land Warrants, from the circular
of one of the largest dealers in New York: 160
and SO acres, 99; 120 acr«-s, 96; 40 acres, $1.12$.

Whlgi who Yotedfor Buchannn<
We naked our neighbor of the South S*de
Democrat a da? or two ago whether “the
simple fact of a Whig voting for Buchanan
involved an immediate and eternal surrender
of all his old Whig notions and principles.”
To which the Democrat replied that it did
not intend to take any such “absurd posi
tion.” As tor ourselves, we could name an?
number ot Wuigs who voted for Buchanan,
and who yet preferred Fillmore tor Presi
dent to any other man in the land; but they
voted against him in their anxiety to deteat
Freinout, because they thought “ho stood uo
chance of an eiecti m.” In short, many a
Whig in Virginia and elsewhere voted tor
| Buchanan with siuoere distrust ot him in their
I hearts, and many with ieelings almost ap
| proaching contempt. But they did so as,
in their judgement, the best means ot avert
ing the calamity involved in the success ot
the Black Republicans. They took Buch
anan as a cnoice of evils, believing the con
test to be between him and Fremont, ihe
whole ot them, we dare say, would have sup
ported Mr. Fillmore with the utmost che.*r
tuluess and pleasure, but tor tae tear enter
tained by them of his beiug less apt to beat
Freinout than Buchanan. Mot that they dis
trusted Mr. Ftllm >re or the party that sus
taiued him, in reference to the question of
Southern rights, did they give their aid to
Bochauan. V ery tar trom it. On the con
trary, we suspect that ninety-nine out of
every hundred Whigs in the land who voted
tor Buchanan, honestly and firmly believed
at the time that Fillmore was infinitely wor
thier of trust thuu tie. The only principle
controling them in their votes, was to get a
convertauve President—it uot the best man
in the field, theu the next best. The princi
ple of the spoils, however was the only princi
thp future will show.—

On Friday, The 6th inst , alter a briel illness o!
one week, iu Westmorelai.il county, \ a., Mrs.
MARIA C. wile of i)r. F. i>. Wheelwright —
This announcement will carry sorrow to many
hearts. The recollection ot the many domestic,
social and Christian graces ot our departed
friend, embitters our lo-s, while it hallows her
memory As a daughter, wile, mother, triend,
and in every relation of life, she was eminently
kind, gentle, loving. It was her happiness to
make others happy. Above all, she w as an ear
nest. humble Christian, a I'te ol consistent piety
attesting the sincerity ot her public proiessiun.
Humility was her distinguishing virtue. Her s
was the meek and lowly spirit that Jesus loves.
To the sick and needy she was ever an angel ot
mercy;‘and her good deeds were as unostenta
tious as they were unremitting. Gratitude has
embalmed her name w herever sorrow or w ant
hail a home within her reach. Her ca>m and
peaceful death was a lit close to such a litc He
lving solely on the merits ot her Saviour 101 ac
ceptance, she tell asleep ill Je»us. Blessed are
the dead w ho the iu the Lord. .
At the residence ot her aunt, in Nanjemoy,

She was too pure lor this siulul wor d. Lailv
bright, her lile has been hut transient, like the
morning cloud and early dew. She passed aw ay
trom earth to heaven, and whilst her weeping
tneuds surrounded her dying bed, she raised tier
eyes and said—“Weep not tor me, bat meet ire

LIOTT R. BROWN, aged :<» years, third son
ot the Rev. R. T. Brown. Doubtless this was
all right; it was all done in due time,and in the
Best way; none young or old go to heaven by
accident. Yet the yearnings of love cannot be
suppressed. Singularly bright and happy, this
dear child was the perpetual sunbeam ot bis
house ; ever loving and obedient, even amid his
last struggles making a “annul effort to render
his accustomed tribute to parental wisues, he
could not be otherw ise than very precious to that
family ciiclenow broken and bleeding. No! the
yearnings ot love cannot be suppiessed, a is
place among the heart s cherished treasures can
never be tilled; be is not, lor God Hath token

redeemed in heaven is made up ot the jewels ot

The Orange ami Alexandria Railroad is
completed from A lexandria, to the distance of
88 uiiies, the present terminus being Gordons
ville. Its contemplated terminus is Lynch
b irg. It runs southwesterly from Alexan
dria, through one of the finest regions of the
Old Dominion. The stations between Alex
andria and Gordonsville are Springfield, 9
miles; Burke’s, 14; Fairfax, 17; Union Mills,
23; Manassas Junction, 27; Bristoe, 31; Y\ ea
versville, 38; Warrenton Junction, 41; B ‘ale
ton, 47: Rappahannock, 51; Brandy, 50; Cul
peper Court-house, 02; Mitchell’s, 09; Kapi
dan, 74; Orange Court-house, 79; Madison,
84. At Gordonsville this road connects
with the Virginia Central Railroad, running
Ir >m K.cliQiond westerly to Goshen, a dis
tance of 173 miles. The fare from Alexan
dria to Richmond by these roads is 85 50.
Trains leave Alexandria at 7.15, a. in., and
8.15, p. in. Wayfare on the Orange road is
about 4 cents per mile.
Twenty-seven miles from Alexandria on
this road the Manassas Gap Rail Road
branches off westerly to Woodstock. The
stations between the Junction and Woodstock
are, Gainsville, 35 miles from Alexandria;
Thoroughfare. 4L; Plains, 4<; Salem, 51;
Rectortown, 57; Piedmont til: Markham, 05;
Linden. 70; Front Royal, 78; Buekton, 83;
Water Lick, 84; Sirasburg, 88. The fare on
this road is, also, about 4 cents per mile.
The trains leave Alexandria once daily, at
7.15, a. in.— Cur rex. of Washington Luton.
Alexandria.—We were greatly gratified
to find, upon a recent visit to Alexandria,
that the old city was still going ahead and be
coming better and better prepared to accom
modate the large trade which must, ere long,
he nnured into her lap. For a long time she
was almost dormant, but during that time
she was, to a great extent, cut off from the
interior trade which rightfully belonged to
her, but which was hy means of railroads
and other improvements, diverted to other
places. Now iron rails are stretching them
selves out, and she will Scon have tributary
to her, a country which must add greatly to
her trade. She is a gallant old t^wn and
worthy ot a widely exteuded patronage.—
Her merchants are among the most enter
prising any where to be found, and we are
sure that they willd > ail they can, hy fair
dealing and small profits, to t-ecure trade.—
There is no need ot any of our Valley mer
chants going beyond Alexandria to purchase
grooeties, hardware, queensware, drugs, agri
cultural implements, clothing, &e. There
are several houses in each of these branches
of trade, which we know, from actual ob
servation, will sell as low as the same de
scriptions of goods can be had iu the cities
iurther north. We cannot mention all these,
but simply refer our friends to the adverti
sing col urns of the Register. We hope that
every Valley merchant will stop»in Alex
andria and examine the market, and we are
sure they will make purchases which will
give satisfaction. 1/H all Virgiuiaus, as far
as possible, support Virginia towns.—Rock
