Interest os Viroisia Pcblic Dfbt.?Being .frequently addressed t;pnn the subject of the probable ability of Virginia to pay the interest, Ac., which will he due the first of July next, I deem it proper to make the follow ing statement: By an act of the General Assembly, pissed the ! 8th of March, 1850, the undersigned ?ns authorized, '-under the advice, and with the approbation of the Governor," to borrow from time to time such sums as might be deemed ex pedient to meet the pub'ie engagements, on the sale of twelve months Treasury Notes, at a rate not under par. AgTcenbly to the foregoing provision, I have Bold nearly one million dollars ($1,000,000) of Treasury Notes. This sum, added to about fight hundred thousand dollars ($800,OOo) nri sng from taxes, on May, 180?, licenses, semi-an nual dividends on Dank stocks belonging to the State, and other ordinary subjects of revenue, will furnish ample means to enable the Com monwealth to meet the July (18511) interest promptly; besides pay ing the "floating debt" or temporary hwn heretofore obtained from a por tion of the Virginia Ranks. |t is propper to observe that all the Treasury notes sold have been purchased hv hankers and capitalists in Virginia. G. W. CLUTTER, Auditor Public Accounts. Auditor's OrncE, Richmond, May 31,1850. I' Wo find in the Cincinnati Times the fol lowing account of the origin ofcaucusscs: "Borrowed from the Itouso of Commons, where it had been practiced over a century, the crstum of caucussing was first introduced into this country by the members of Congres, in or der to enable them the more effectually to drill tho party they represented to an organization that should bo effectual in preserving the power of the party, and consequently be the means of retaining themselves in office. As far back as those days anterior to the Revolution, both Whig* and Tories, held their caucusscs, but not. with the perfect system of regularity that noiv governs their movements. The Green Tavern, in Boston, has a historic fame as i place of meet ing fbr caucusscs, and such men as tho Han cocks, Warrens, &c., were in those days the leaders of the popular ckuso. In connection with their names, we would hero remark that, of coursc, the system was then formed for purer purposes and governed by purer motives. An entire absence of personal profit was apparunt i.t all their movements, and their sole object ap peared to bo tho general welfare of the country. XVUEN TUE CLOVEN TOOT IIECAXK MANIFEST. ? From the time referred to above until after, the Revolution, the term Caucus or Convention was scarcely heard. The object of such asso ciations had become pervorted, and no one thought of calling by the name of Convention > collection of politicians drunk with the spoils of office, and operating by the authority of an other collection of the same character, interested from * like motive in their success. Those meetings were held more secretly, and for the 8->lo purpose of forming such plans as would en able them to retain their places of profit, but they represented in no manner either the inter est, the will or the voice of the people. In these meetings they concocted plans by which they wi tiled to operate on those in the principal offices, and failing they endeavored to render the people dissatisfied with their administration. - Kvcn the uni.npeachable Washington found Ijj these organizations the elements that render e l his last term rather a stormy one, and we have every reason to believe that he well fore sav the great evil that threatened this country, i ? their oxistonco.

BROOKS* LETTER TO THE SENATE During the sitting of the United Strtes Senate on Monday, the Presiding officer presented die following letter from the Hon. P. S. Brooks, of tlie House of Representatives, which wis read and ordered t2fe>e printed liars* or Represestativek, May 29, 1836. Sir: I hare seen in the public journals of this morning the report of the committee of the Sen-, ate to whom was referred a resolution of the Sen ate directing an inquiry into an assault made by me on the 22d instant on a Senator from Massa chusetts. It is with unfeigned regret I find in the report that what I had intended only as a redress of a personal wrong had been construed into or must necessarily be held as a breach of privilege of the Senate. Whilst miking a fall and explicit disclaimer of any such design or purpose, I ask leave to say that, for the occasion, considering myself only as a gentleman in society, and under no official restraint as a member of the House of Repre sentatives, I did not advert to or consider there was any alternative restraint imposed upon me by reason that the offence came from a member of the Senate. I had read attentively and carefully the speech delivered in the Senate on the 19th and 20th in stant by the Senator from Massachusetts and found therein language which I regarded as un justly reflecting, not only upon the history nnd character of South Carolina, but also upon a friend and relative. To such language I had a right to take exception under the circumstances, the Senator from South Carolina, who was af fected by these remarks, being absent from the Senate and the city. I had reason to believe that the Senator from Massachusetts did not acknowledge that person al responsibility for wrongs in persona] deport ment which would/have saved me the painfnl necessity of the collision which I sought, and in my judgment, therefore, I had no alternative but to act as I did. That the assault was made in the Senate chamber was causcd only by tho fact that, after; a careful search elsewhere on the previous as well as on the same day, the offender could not bo found outside the walls of the Senate .chamber,; and the Senate had adjourned for.morc than an hour previous to the assault I submit the f iregoingstatement from thehigh respect I have for the Senate of the U. States, and ask that it may be received as a full disclaim er of any design or purpose to infracting its privi leges or offend its dignity. I cheerfully add.that should the Rets, as reported by the committee of the Senate, be nevertheless necessarily consid ered as a conclusion of law, my earnest desire is to atone for it, as fir cs may be, by this unhesi tating and unqualified apology. A-king that you will oblige me by communi cating this to the Senate as its presiding officer, I have honor to remain, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant P. S. BROOKS, lion. J. D. B.:iGiir, President of the Senate. Webstek is Death.?Webster's forehead, re nowned for its massive breadth and f?U"?sf'?r?' sented a much smaller appearance as he lay in i.; ? in the library at Marshficld. An or di?iiy handcould easily have covered the whole of it. Perhaps this was owing to'hoJ^ moval of the brain. Before the open coffin wa carried out upon the lawn, numbers placed thu hand.* upon that famili ir bro!J as they took (th o r liL?t look. The lias were slightly parted, t.i< teeth CO long of extreme whiteness, being just perceptible! A strong resemblance remained between the face of the dead and the portrait of ffirfng Web-ter which hung upon the waU where also looked down upon the corpse the pictures of his beloved son Edward, whod edm Mexico, and of Lord Asl.burton, his friend dj. ! ti .flushed f..r his part in the settlement of the i northern boundary question. The body it *it? be rerasnibered, was clad in the citizens dr^s i bust liked?blue coat and blight buttons, ! vbiw vest and neckcloth, black pantaloons and I white silk gloves. There was no expression of I p un or melancholy upon hU swarthy fac^ ii ; rather a look of satisfaction. When the coffin ! ?.a3 carried down the steps leading into the torn oneof the silver handles was ac^lei.taly press?. aeainst the granite portal and lifted up... In the next m >ment it was disengagfd and felI with a tak S* the side .f the coffin, which stently ^appeared i.i the vault.

The postmaster at Ellieottdville, in New York, ! flndi.ig that newspapers were being mailed from his offica with a circular and a copy of Mr. Son aril's Kansas speeeli, in pamphlet lorm, enclosed in tliem, applied to the Postmaster General to know what course he ought to pursue in such cases. A letter from the department in response <avs that tho publishers could not be allowed their plea, that tho p.imphlet was issued asa&up plemcnt to the paper, as it boro the impnnt of Washington upon its fuse; and the enclosing ^ it in a newspaper was illegal and subjected the entire package to letter postage. The P^'imP" tion is that tho system has bswn extensivdy re rorted to of late and this edict will doubUe& check Ihe abuse, as postmasters are directed to charge tho full letter rates for such packages; ( and, failing the payment of the charge, to prtx ecute for the recovery of the legal penalty ol live dollars for each offence.

This is to certify, that abount nine years slr.ee I was at tacked with a pain in my right ankle. We sent for a physi cian, who ordered it to be poulticed, as it was very much swollen; and it continued to progress until it had increased to the height of ray kuee. I suffered very severely with pain ?ulcers, to the number of twenty-five formed between aukle and knee, which were frequently laid open to the bone, r.ud out of which came particles of bone to the number of 25, and one or tvo of which were IV inches long. TRIES COUNTRY AIR. I was then taken to Harford couuty cf this State; the physi cian there told my mother and friends he could heal the* ul cers, but 1 could not live afterwards. This physician work ed with me for seven weeks, using the knife frequently, tak ing from the ulcers proud flesh aud plcces of bone * itiiout giving me any relief?*cme of the applications were so very severe that when applied the agony was so great iny frit nds >*ould not stan:I br aud s? e me suffer 1 thought at this time there was no cure for me; from my knee to mv ankle was not much unlike a honey-comb, the numerous ulcers running freely a white pus with no sign of hiood, and at times when I would scratch my fingers a white pus would Issue therefrom mixed with water. BALTIMORE MY HOME! I then returned to Baltimore, my old home, expecting to die. By the advice of my friends, I used various remedies, some of which gave me duly transient relief.

PllOFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR HE3TOUATIVK Is, no doubt, the most wonderful dlscorery of thin age of pro* grew, for It will restore, permanently, gray hair to Its orig inal color, cover the head o! the bald wi?h a most luxuriant growth, remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all scrofula and other cutanuocs eruptions, such ag scald-head, 4c. It will cure, as if by magic, nervous or periodical head ache; make the hair soft, glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair from falliug, to extreme old age. The following Is from a distinguished member of the medi cal profession: Sr. Pavt, January 1,1S56. ] PROFESSOR O. J. WOOD? Dear Sir : Unsolicited, I send you this certlfi- j cate. After being bald for a long tfmc, and having tried all the hair restoratives extant, and haviug no faith in any, I was induced, on hearing of yours, to give it a trial. I placed myself in the hand' of a barber, arid had my head rubbed w|th a good stiff brush and the Restorative then applied and well rubbed in, till the scalp was aglow. This I repeated eve* ry morning, and in tbreo weeks tho young hair appeared and grew rapidly frotn Augu/t last UU the present time, and Is now thick, black and strong?soft and pleasant to the touch; whereas, before. It was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, and that little was disappearing very rapid ly. I still use your Restorative about twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair. Now I had I read or these things?and who has not? but have not seen j h'.therto any case where any person's hair was really benefit- I ed by any of the hair tonics, etc. of the day; and It really ; gives me pleasure to/record the result of my experience I j have recommended your preparation to others, -nd it aJrea- j dy has a large and general sale throughout th_? Territory.? | The people here know lu eiTrcts and have confidence in ft.? The Kupply you sent us, as wholesale agents fsr the Terrltery, Is nearly exhausted, and daily inquiries are made for it.? , Yoa deserve credit for j our discovery; aud I, for one, re- ; turn you my thanks for the benefit It has done me, for I cer tainly had despaired, long ~ago, of ever effecting any such result. Yours, hastily, J. W. BOND, Firm of Bond k Kellogg, Druggists, St. Paul. The undersigned, Rer. J. K. Bragg, Is a minister In regu lar standing, and Pastor of the Orthodox Cnurch, at Brook- ' Add, Massachusetts. Ilr Is a gentleman of great Influence, and universally beloved. WM. DYER. Bbookfxbls, January 13, 1SS5. PROFESSOR WOOD? Dkak Sib: Having made trial of your HAIR RESTORATIVE, it gives me pleasure to say, that Its effect has been excellent lu removing Inflammation, dandruff, and a constant tendency to Itching, with which I have been trou bled from my childhood up; and has also restored my balr, whlah was becoming gray, to its original color. I have used so other article, with anything like the same pleasure or profit. Yours, truly, J. K. BRAGG. 114 Market street, 8t.

I am forty years old, and my hair waa almost white; but after using three half pint bottles, my hair Is as beautlftil auburn as It was at sixteen, and much improved in appearance, and I would not be without a bottle on hand for the price of ten. 1 should be glad to hear from you soon.
