your soil. Office, No. 36 Commercial street. FRIDAY, JUNE 2191, 1861. “ PILING ON THE AGONY.” For the honor of Old Virginia, for whose ancient fame.every right-minded American entertains a high respect, if not reverence, it were mach to be wished that her . secessionist editors would not so persistently strive. to make themselves and their state ridiculous. The subjoined spe cimen of what scholars call the ad ecaptandum culgus, and which less polished people call rable-rousing shillamahoy, appeand in the Richmond Whig shortly after the capture of Alexandria by the fede"ral forces: “* Virginians ! the invaders are upon you. The bloody standard of tyranny is erected on They come -to butcher and en: slave—they come to desolate your homes, to slaughter your children—to pollute your wives and daughters. To arms ! let their accursed. blood quench the thirst of your fields. Great God ! what rage! what transports of fury should be excited by the mercenary tools of despots, polluting our sacred soil ! Sacred love of country ! guide and imel our avenging steel! Liberty ! beloved berty ! rally with thy aniniating voice victory to the standard of thy defenders! Down with the tyrants ! Let their accursed. blood manure our fields! The telegraph announces that Lincoln's armed mercenaries yesterday moruing invaded the Commonwealth of Virginia and took possession of Alexandria. The fact is enough. If we are worthy of the freedom we have boasted, of the glorious ancestors who won that freedom for us, we will maintainit or die! TO ARMS ! Now—either the editor of the Richmond Whig believed, when he wrote this, that the northern men in the federal army are horrid savages, who have an awkward fondness for desolating homes, slaughtering children, aiid * ‘polluting wivesand daughters, and thus showed himself 2 fool; or else he did not so believe, and knavishly uttered what hd knew to be lies. He is either an ignoramus, bine. self; or, if he is not, he evidntly considers his fellow Virginians ignoramuses, upon whose silly fears he can impose his stupid slanders with impunity. If the present generation of Virginians can swallow such stuff, all that can be said of them is that they have sadly degenerated, intellectually, -from their glorious sires of the old revolutionary tiwes. In like vein, the Richmond Dispatch and Examiner proclaim to their’ readers the invasion of the soil of Virginia by the “ northern hordes,” and call upon the. chivalry of the Old Dominion to exterminate the slaughtering, Vandals, To. exterminate the invaders, according to the logic ofthe Richmond editora, will, not be difficult, as exch Virginian is good for at least two of the brutal northerners. What effect these terrible pictures of Yankee ferocity. have produced, in all parte of Virginia, itis difficult to conjecture. At Alexandria, whieh city is now in the occupation of these “ northern hordes,” if credence tay be given to the Washington City journals, the men, Women, aud children appear to be perfectly cuntented with their present ¢ondition. No dwellings have been demolished, nochildren slaughtered, no wives and daughters polluted, by the Yankees, in any portion of Virginia, since they firat praced their feet on the right bank of * the Potomac. These pen-and-ink caricatures of northern character are in bad taste ;@nd, worse than that, they are impolitic. Their tedeney must naturally be to impel the ignorant classes ‘of Virginia to the commission of outrages upon the persons of nerthern soldiers, who may fall into their hends, which wil! demand ter rible retribution. It is true thatsome two or three New York papers have indulged in . angry threats against the southerners. equal. ly in bad taste and equally impohtic. Lamentable enough is the single fact, that civil’ war now rages in our country, without the newspaper press lending ite influence ‘to rouse the worst passione of the belligerents. And yet, not merely the press, but the pulpit, on both sides of the Mason and Dixon Line, is induetriously laboring ta add te the horrors. of such a war by infusing it with al] the fiendishness of savages.

By a telegram, received jn this city, last r évening, we learn that the following nominnations were made yesterday:—A. A. Sargent for Congress, Frank F. Fargo for Clerk of the Supreme Court, and Pixley for Attorney General. COERCION AND SUBJUGATION. ~The ad ministration-of Mr. Lincoln bas“ proclaimed to the world that-its-only object, in calling out a large military force, has been and is to retake the national property, stolen by ‘the secéders, and to force ‘obedience, in all the seceded states, to the federal laws.— This is coercion ; and. the Presideat, under ‘his official oath, must use coercion, when other means fail, in the execution of the duties imposed upon. fiim. ‘There. are politicians, however, who seem.to regard coercion and subjugation as convertible terms, ‘and charge the President with the political crime of attemptmg to reduce the seceded states to the condition of conquered provin ces. This is not treating thé President with fairness. He can coerce the seceded stutes, ifhe have the sufficient military and naval force, to restore the national property and yield submission to the federal Jaws, and leave them as independent and sovertign as they ever were. He will not interfere with the internal polity and domestic institutions ef any state, so long as that state remains in harmony with the requirements of the Constitution of the United States. ‘This is the ground on which the President, in his inaugural address and his subsequent proclamations, has pledged himself to stand ; and we are bound to consider him sincere as long as no evidence appears of his insincerity. ° The bug-bear of subjugation, therefore, wherewith. cértain politicians are endeavoring to frighten themselves and their friends, is nothing but a bugbeur, and « very shadowless one. . oe DECIDEDLY CALIFORNIAN.—A marritige occured in this place .on Sunday last, * says the Sonora Democrat, which is deserving of more than ordivary niention. The couple had not known each other a week, and never spoke of marriage—until the question was popped and accepted. It seems, the gentleman who, some three or four days before, had been introduced to the young lady, informed her on Saturday evening that he had struck a rich quartz-vein and was going to settle down; all he wanted to make him happy was a wife. She replied with some words of encouragement as to herself, and he at once proposed and was as promptly accepted. The wedding followed on the ensuing day, and they are now enjoying the honeymoon of double blessedness. Hurrah for California! Who will say now that this is not #fast country 7 OUTRAGE IN PeERU.—The Lima corresdent of the Star.and Herald writes : * There have been two-'more British snbjects murdered by the Peruvian authorities. One was sturved to death in prison, and the other suffocated, and at length carried to the hospital where he died in a few hours. The former was uttacked and fired on by two robbers who missed bim; he if turn drew his revolver and killed one of them, pursued and caught ‘the other and brought him to the authorities, who said he had done ag well as his aseailant. He was then placed ia a cell, it appears, without food, and no communication allowed with him; at the end of five or six days the cell was opened and he was touud a corpse. In his pocket book was found written : ‘lam murdered—I die from inanition and Peruvian justice.” An account of the whole affair wus published the in Chalaco of Calluo,but the Government seppressed. the number and bought up all they could find. HARPER'S FERRY.— A dispatch to Sweeny and Baugh, of San Francisco, by the lust pony, says the rebele at Harper's Ferry are dying from exposure and want of food.

Who haen’t-beard of well, but that they must put him inprison { entered the season when bathing has become a luxury, besides being a sanitary necessity, ‘we think that the following description of a Persian bath, which we translate from the French, may -prove interesting.to. some of our readers, as showing to what! extent Oriential nations have carried the luxuries of the bath room: “ The bather, without any other garment than a piece of cloth floating around the body, is introduced into the beth room, the floor of which is immediately covered with a large, white sheet, upon which he stretches himself. From a cistern, heated by invisible furhaces, a servant then brings in’ buckets of ‘water, which he pours on the bather until he is well showered. and the perspiration has been started. He then’ takes the bather’s head between bis legs, and rubs it with all his might—beard, mustaches and all—witb a sort of soft paste, made from a plant called henna. In a few minutes this paste imparts the most brilliant red color to the parts on which it has been rubbed,’ when a second torrent of hot water is poured on the bather. The servant then puts on a glove made of horse hair, and which produces the effect of the hardest brush, and, for three quérters of an.jour,violently rubs, first the limbs and then the body. A third péuring of water now prepares the -bather for the operation of the pumice ‘stone, which is first applied to the soles of the feet. The henna is soun removed from the beard, and is replaced by another paste, called rang, which is made trom indigo leaves: Then comes the shampooing, which is done by pinching, pulling and rubbing the skin, all over, with such force, that the inflammation which results trom it must be felt for some time afterwards Some Persians take great pleasure in having their legs pulled till they crack, and this portion of the bathing operation is carried to'such perfection, that the lumbar vertebra can be heard, during its performance, to emit 4 series of sounds, so rapid that they. put one’in mind of a chime of bells. ‘This ne plus ultra of the operator's skill produces a strange effect on the spectator; the bather and the servant being both naked, the violent efforts of the latter and the resistance of the former, give them the appearance of two wrestlers. The body thus shampooed is again stretched and rubbed with a soapy preparation, the thick lather of which covers every-part of it Warm water carries_off this luther, snd the bath. finishes by the bather -being led to the cistern, in which he is precipitated, and where he remains five or six.minutes. When he leaves the cistern, heis Wrapped in a dry and warm sheet, till he reaches the apartment in which his clothes were left. For the Persian ladies,the bath is the greatest’ place of amusement. Here they meet, and in its gor yeously furnished parlors, sumetimes apend seven or eight hours, in gussiping ana eating sweetmeats. It is here also that they give to the beautiful bedies which nature has given them, that additional perfection which Orientals so highly prize, but whieh our taste reproves. They dye their hair and their eyebrows, trace with a pencil, on their bodies. from the breast to the umbilicus, verses, mottoes, trees.—birds, quadrupeds, the sun, the moon and the stars. In order that uoneof these ornaments, which to us are symptoms of barbarism , de lostjto sight, they open every purt of their dress, even to their gauze shirt, from the neck to vhe umbiticus, around which a radiated figure is generally traced.” te dames Fitzsimmons, aged 26 years, a native of county Dowu, Ireland, was killed on his mining cluim, Calaveras, on Thursday lust. The earth fell upon and covered his body. He was tuken ont as quickly as possible, but ouly spoke once after being raised from the ground, which was to request those handling him to be easy with his arm and shoulder, and in reply to a question as to whether he was much hurt, to say. “Yes, I’ni killed.” He expired in fifteen minutes. , ee eg gees ese SHotT.—The Mendpcinn Herald learns by Mr, Johnson, stage driveron the Huiboldt Mail route, that on Sunday evening, June 2d_ two men, named Join Wood and Moses Stafford, got intd a quarrel about a squaw, on the Upper Matole, in) which Wood shot Stafford through the neck, und killed him instantly. Wood gave himeelfup to the custody of the officers.
