The Know Nothings in Virginia?A Sweeping Bevolution. Tuk Know Nothing candidate* for the suffrages of the poonj^ of Virginia are rory frank in the procuration of tbcir principles. The latest ci^obefore us is. that of Mr. Littlebury N. Llgon, tfio now American party cimuiuuto for Congress in one of the central districts of the State.. fn his circular letter to the people of the district, published iu tho Lynchburg Virginian, he says that his antecedents have been democratic, but that he considers tho existing differences be tween iuq |\vooiu parties.ot me country of very little Recount, the linos of demarcation between them bavin# become almost invisible. A new question,however, lias been rais cd, which he considers of absorbing and vital importance?the question of Curbing the growth of the foreign elements which of late years, hars exercised such n mai ked and powerful influence iy our political elections. Speaking of the necessity of a check upon the prc*ent tremendous .increase of tho foreign vote uuder the facilities of our existing s naturalization laws, Mr. Ligon says:?ftThis rt<?. the extent ot sog^BpOQ,OO^aynuili.y roach our stupes hasten to the nowJStatc^peopIc them^nd then, exclude slavery front lbeir borders by State constitutions." 4p T^Tbis is'the Southern view of the pfibjoct, ?nd the key taFtho spread of Know Nofhingnm in Virginia ;y,ml throughout tho South.

Their bal-j auco of power may be secured by arresting' the growth of tlfc popular vote of the North ! over tlyit of tiiQ fc$ynth ; and this, they think.! may be' done by a string ait modilieutii ji or j total repeal of liie naturalization laws, Thi-j modification or repeal being tho cornor | stono of the Know Nothing platform, is the very tiling, then-lore, which is carrying this ' now American Movement spontnheously for-; wonljin alf tho Southern States ngainst^all i the expedients of resistance, and over all soils | ,J of obstruct ioiiii. Suppose, for-oxavnplo, the term of natu-' rnlizatior* \^cro extended at tho next session j t>f Congress" to twenty-one years, what would 1 "**" Xe tlie result? It wotild probably cut off one hundred ihonsand of our European rcinforcemouts, who, ttndor the present general law nnd existing local usugges in tlie Xo: them States, woiild vole upon *tho Pre.idental issue in 1 S3l>, and for the members of Congress to bo elected with the new administration. While the accumulation of "foreign era" in the-North, therefore, from the pressure upon the native woiking chiascs upon Protestant ideas u:jd outside politicians, has v rallied together the natives to the ranks oU the Know Nothings in the one section, the single but vital consideration of checking the present alarming increase of tin Northern anti-slavery vote is <j?ito sufficient to lead the Know Nothings to victory in every quarter of the oth midsections of the Union. Wo have no doubt that ibis is the secret which lies at the bottom of the mysterious nqd extraordinary growth of Know N'othiiigisjn in Old Virginia and the South.? Prom all present appearances, too, the new party coalilitiou in that Slate will overthrow Mr. Wise and the Pierce democracy with a prodigious majority; and if Virginia, the citadel of the democracy in the South, he thus carried, the -rest of the Southern States, in the order of their elections, may bo tea/ xonably expected to fall into lino without much resistance. Willi the South thus revolutionized, the Know Nothings will be able to commend the Prosldental election upon a Union and constitutional platform, throwing such seditious and disorganizing branches of the new party as that in Massachusetts entirely out of the calculation. In this light everything hinges upon the Virginia elec^ tion, and the result there will be the most e important, perhaps i:i iU consequences of! ,miy-Suta-election in the political history. of the country for the Inst fifty years. l*t the conservative Know Nothing of the North prepare for a fu .ion with their brethren of the South upon some common national platfonrt. 1 tetter dispense with their present anti-slavery a filiations in tins quarter, than enter the I'residentnl-campaign ditfidod into two or three sectional factions.? The democracy, shufflitig oft' the incubus of this administration, may yet take the field as a homogeneous and powerful national party. I^et not that be forgotten. Tho defeat of Mr. WUe and'tbo ohl rdtten democracy by a large majority in Virginia, will not only be n great and powerful revolution in that State, the like of which has not happened 'here fur fifty years ffW, hut it will be the forerunner of a Know Nothing revolution in tlie South?a .Know Nothing revolution in i tho whole Lnitm, and pcrchanco a Know Nothing rovulutiun also in Knglaiul?and over all Europe.?New York Metal J.

P! On Tuesday Inst the Adolphian Society of I'urtnan University, joined by the members ^ of the Philosophian Society, and its honarory members, celebrated its fifth anniversary. m The pleasing and imposing ceremonies of the u' occasion were performed at the Baptist church, c' which had been tastefully decorated for the ,u occasion. A heautiful arch composed of cv- ai orgreens expanded over the speaker, upon which was inscribed with letters wrought in " ll jwors, the name of "Adklpiiian," and the '' pillars and columns in front were elegant lv do. itJ O J "" covated with spring's fairest and choicest flowers. The scene was every way calculated to inspire the proudest and noblest feelings, and worthy of eliciting the highest and most tVi praiseworthy sentiments. ' fc Mr. John G. Williams, a member of the ei Adclphihn, delivered the oration, and well 01 did the young.orator discharge the task hu te had assumed. We uevcr listened with more ploasuro and interest to tho effort of a young gentleman than wo did to that of Mr. Wil- 01 liams.

The steam ship Empire City has arrived nt this port from A spin wall, with advices from San Francisco to tho 17th ult. >*Th? steam ship Golden Age, which loft ?Sau t/ancisco on the 17th ult., with seven hundred and fifty passengors and $125,000 iu specie, struck a sunken rock on tho 28tli ult. off the Island of Quiero, in seventeen fathoms water, while poing at full speed.?

The Little Compliments of Life. Life is made op of trifles?hows, and smiles, And littlo kindnesses are, like the air, Kssentinl to our being." Th* eompiimcTiU of Ufa and society aro more potent than most persons arc apt to Itnngine. We have more than onco seen a iinilo of pleasure pass over a countenance that is ordinarily rugged and stern at some kindly demonstration intended to convey good-will, and to manifest respect. And with the geuteel sex, such demonstrations aro it most ine-istpbja. Who has not seen some bright eye kindle, and nopic full cheek glow it little attentions of this kind?attentions that cannot be paid too frequently and that rarely fail to have some effect ? A few years a gentleman of a neighbor ing city became utterly devoted to a young! 'irul accomplished beauty, with whom he lirul | been on term* of friendly intimacy from childhood. Ho, however although highly i educated graceful and courteous was remark-' ably homely. Fully aware of this he sup-! posed, and rightly, that the task of conquest, would be ono of great difficulty. Hut ho' was devoted to^ro fair object of his regard, and she, althou* she always respected and esteemed bini, could believe- it possible for her evor to cherish a more tender emotion. Nevertheless, tho suiLor pcrserved. He did so, too, not rashly and impetuously, but by paying the most delicate uttcntions at nil proper times and seasons, and by consulting her wishes her tastes aud her feelings, at ev- j ery fitting opportunity. He was untiring; and although slio was capricious, vain and somewhat coquettish, she possessed n noble! and generous heart and one that was full of the warmest sympathies. Year after year passed by, and still the suitor persevered. Others stepped in meanwhile but they could not appreciate her butterfly character, and would not conciiate the many whims of the beauty and the belle and hence they but a momentary impression. Not so,Hn>*rever with the other, lie had studied her nature thoroughly, aud had discovered that he was gradually overcoming the prejudice that at first prevailed, and accomplishing the realization of his warmcsf hopes. At last, too, ho was successful. Ho not only won tho hand, but ho secured tho heart of the fair enchantress and all, in a measure, by such delicate, kind and complimentary attentions, as nro at the command of almost any one who studies human nature,has the patience to practice tho phi-; losppliy of perseverance, of self denial and of, courtesy. *. Ami so in every condition of life. It is i almost impossible for any one to think unkindly of another, who, on every occasion, exhibits the warmest regard, and socks for opportunities to extend courtesy, manifest friendship aud indicate feeling. On tfi'o other hand, those who neglect tlie little compliments of life, who fancy that they may trample upon this point of etiquette, and that foaturo of courtesy, that their business is to receive and not to extend favSrs?that thoy may bo selfish and indifferent, and insulting, and all with impunity, will, in the end, discover that they mum committed a fearful and egregious mhtWe.

Thlrehas been rc<Jfently 8om<f depression in tho breadstuff markets o? the -North, owing to the Jtyprchpnaion that -4he canals, which were opened the 2d.dnstant,\vouW considerably increaso tlio stocks ; but, from present appearance, it may, bo inferred that this resort has not taken placo. We see that within a day or. two flour hps assumed a greater firefcness, with some improvement in pi ices. We dc r.pt imagine that it wili go at any lower rates for tho present. Should tho growing crop prove very fine, and tho foreign demand bo uo greater than it is, of course there must be a decline; but Until this does annoar. flour will Imlrl own very firiuly. #4 <:r- i The stocks are very lijjbt every where.

Thero never was a crop of wheat which so deceived the country as that of last year. It was deceptive alike in quality nnd quantity. The yield of fine-looking fields^ upon which the farmer calculated largely,deceived him entirely. Tho amount ground,, in this with a greatly increased milling power, has fallen off at least one-third, compared, with the operations of the prcoediugiyeur. The wheat was not in the country, and of courtfe could not be hail by the millers. It has been a fortunate thing tlint crops in other . countries weroao abundant, there lin3 been littlo demand for exportatious and we havo " had our short crop pretty much for, home consumption. Last year was a hard one in every res| pcct. Thero was a heavy money pressure and a disastrous drought, that greatly curtailed tho production of the country. The prices of nearly all the necessaries of lifo are now so high as to be oppressive to the poor, and hard upon nil. A visitor at our markets some days of late could behold at least a slight samploof what a famine would bring upon us. But there has been an improvement, and wo trust the 6cnson may continue to be propitious. 1 Richmond Dispatch.
