In late important failure of fner-
Camille house in London, the affairs of
the firm, under Commission OF Bank
ruptcy, have agreeably disappointed the
gloomy anticlpations Of all itscreditors.
The want of a bankrupt law, as in this
country, might have exposed the al
trighted creditors, during the hours OF
suspence, to the imposition Of personal
compound, produced by fear on one
side, and misrepresentation on the
other, if the parties had, as is sometimes
the case, been so predisposed. Does
not this single instance demand from
our National Government a Bankrupt
Law, that each creditor shall receive a
fair proportion of the Bankrupps ef-
feet, without aliowig him to distribute
his property to favored few The
relations Of Debtor and Creditor, in our
country, are as completely unPforided
for, as they srsrs in a siets 81 nature.

for the buildings and gardens contiguous

been adopted-which, as far as we are
capable of judging, combines neatness

hope it will be long before the infirmi

The following paragraph is from the HIN
cAssfer Republican OF March 3:
"Cun6sriand road = We learn by one Of our
townsmen returned from Washington, that the
committee on roads anG canals were unanimous.
ly in favor of the Winchester route for the com
pletion of this road, and that they had prepzr-
ed bill in conformity with this opinion, which
would soon be presented to the house ct repre-.
seatatives This is cheering news; aud iftrue.
viii entltle Mr.. Powell and Mr.. Armstrong TO
the lasting gratitude of their Constituents"
This may Be true as to Mr. Powell; but II is
not very spparent that Mr. .4,Tlslroag would
thus entltle himself to the lasting gratitude OF
has constituents
There are several routes that have been pro-
posed tor this road. Shepherdsfospn and .lf.r-
fins6urg are points in one-Hai bers Ferry in a.
Mother Charesto1H M a third, aud HiachesfeI
in fourth. OF these, the last is by much the
most indirect, but it IS alleged to have claims
upon the score Of pracacd5ieness that perhaps
do not put it altogether out of the question IL
touches the district represented ny Mr.. Arm
strong, in the couaiy of Hampshire only, aud
that too, for not more in all probability, than
twenty miles OF rough, mountainous, sterli
AMI almost uninhabIied territory. The other
three routes pass through the hearts OF the
Counties OF Jefferson, berkeley anu Morgan,
TO The extent probably OF fifty miles, and for
the greater part OF that distance. over fertile
soil and through crowded population.
These considerations present themselves
powerfully, t. the representative OF this dis
trict snd are sufficient 10 discredit the sugges
ton that Mr. Armstrong has, in the slightest
degree, lent himself to the premature route
BIZ Winchester
We incline TO think, however, that no such
selection has been made. I hat the committee
on roads aud canals has UNANIMOUSLY determin.
Ell to report in favor OF making a road from
Washington to Cumberland is probable enough.
B~s, that it has decided upon tie route, con-
trarY TO past usage ID such Cases without the
requisite examinations and surveys made by OF
fetal and responsible persons and, OF course,
upon one-sided statements derived from inte-
rested sources, is altogether incredible.
BE this as il may. the editor OF the Repub-
scan owes it to large msjon'yof the people
OF this district to state fully upon rohat grounds
he has ,ejnesented Mr. armstrong as beng az

not possessed with knowledge OF its proVfsons.
