g. Woodruff has been aware for months past that his cause is desperate, and that his master and himself do not possess the conf dence of the democratic party. Maddened by this reflection, his dirty and scurrilous paper is devoted to coarse assaults, on dem ocrats. who with knowledge of the public and private character of Col. Ashley, are naturally enough averse to his reelection. Now Woodruff by the command of his master made war upon Gov. Drew, but after the powerful, crushing and scathing reply of the Governor, Woodruff completely discom- fitted was glad enough to gather his poisoned arrows and skulk from the field withou, hon. ors. The master and man suffered too much to allow the engagement to he renewed. and they have been comparatively sileut as to that matter ever since, as well they might be

 Pursuing the same policy Woodruff as- slulted Senator Gaines of Scott, because he was averse 10 the reelection of Col Ashley. Mr. Gaines in a strong, well written and ex- ceilens letter, administered just and cutting rehuke, to both Ashley and Woodruff. and showed to the satisfaction of every anpre- judlced man that, either of them was de- serving of confidence. Woodruff devoted about three columns of his piraiical paper, by way of response, but it was miserable failure, and the letter containing facts which are notorious 10 the whole community stands unanswered
