Vice Eegent for South Carolina. We noticed in our previous number the appointment of Mrs. Mary Chesnut as Vice Eegent for South Carolina. Since then, some few facts in reference to this venerable and interesting lady have come to our knowledge, which will, we doubt not, interest our readers. Mrs. Chesnut was the daughter of Col. John Cox, of the Quarter Master's De? partment in the Revolutionary Army, and of Miss Boes, (we are not positive that we spell it correctly.) of New York. For some years previous to the Revolu? tion, Col. Cox was a merchant residing in Philadelphia. About the time of the war, he removed to a beautiful country-seat on the Delaware, near Trenton, called Blbomsbury; but his health failing, in 1790 he returned to Philadelphia, where he died in 1793. He was always esteem? ed as a patriot and man of integrity and courage; he was a friend of Gen. Wash? ington's, and in habit of frequent social intercourse with him. Although for six? ty-three years a resident of South Caroli? na. Mrs Cbesnut's early life was passed 3u Kev father's conntry-seat of Bloomsbu Jv: und it was while residing there, that ti.. incident occurred to which wo have before referred, of her being one of those "Who welcomed General Washington at Trenton Bridge. Col Cox's removal to Philadelphia took place during the ses? sion of the first Congress; and Mrs. Chesuut, then Miss Cox, was in the habit of attending Mrs. Washington's drawing room receptions, and alwtvys on those oc? casions having a few words with General Washington himself. She speaks of hav? ing.met him, for the last time, at a com? plimentary ball given him on his birthday in 17%. It is a singular and touching coincidence, which has thus made this venerable lady the connecting link be? tween the past and the present, and placed her as one of that baud of patriotic wo? men whoare endeavoring to perpetuate the memory of their country's Father in . the hearts of the American people, and on?presiding over aState which is remark? able ibr the heroism of its revolutionary women, who earned their patriotism so far, that when the British held possession of Charleston they clad themselves in mourning!?Mount Vernon Record. -?fr. ViuuiNiA Legislature?Extra Ses? sion.?Gov. Letchcr, of Virginia, has de? termined to convene the Legislature of that State oil the 4th of January next. The immetfiate occasion tor this an? nouncement is nothing more than the ar? rangement of the aiVa'irs of the James River and Kanawha Company. Nevertheless, says the Richmond En? quirer, it is possible that the Legislature, on assembling, will find even more serious -work to do?to which the following ex? tract from Gov. Letcher's inaugural mes? sage of January last, may furnish a sug? gestive clue: "The- 'irrepressible conflict' doctrine, an? nounced and advocated by the ablest and most distinguished leader of the Republi? can party, is an open declaration of war against the institution of African slavery w berever it exists, and I would be disloy? al to Virginia and the South, if I did not declare that the election of such a man. entertaining such sentiments and advoca? ting such doctrines, ought to be resisted by the slaveholding States. The idea of permitting such a mau to have the con? trol and'direction of the army and navy of the United States, and the appoint? ment of high judicial and executive offi? cers, postmasters included, cannot be en? tertained, by the South for a moment." ???????n?^????a?

Mast Friends" have announced my name as a candidate for Clerk of the Court at the ensuing election, and it is due to them, as well as to (he Toters of the District generally, that I should make a response to the announcement. At the close of my last canvass, I stated publicly that I did not expect to be again a candidate, and my purpose remained unshaken until December last, when my situation was in many respects greatly changed? owing to my misfortune, which is known to the District. I was born and reared in this District, and am. perhaps, the oldest citizen of this town?have al? ways resided here, and hope that my boues may repose in her soil. I have received many favors from my fellow-citizcn3, and have tried to discharge the trust they have so long confided to me with courtesy, zeal and Btrict fidelity. My past services and performance in the oflico is the best guarantee I can offer the District for a faithful discharge of its duties in the future. Many voters, therefore, and my friends generally, are authorized to use my name as a candidate for re-election. ELIJAH WEBB. JOCASSE LODGE, TSo. 1?, I. O, O.
