The Editors of the Richmond Wing propose to
publish, in n uOlume the Debate OF the Manums-
SION Question, that sit may circulate in every
corner of the Commonws alth." We hope our
friends will reconsider their determinations The
newspapers are giving sufficient circulation to this
Debate; and arc carrying it into more ''corncrs of

go-as a ,rhoie. 1t is true, speeches deliver

frothy, doclamatory, and almost reckless as

wish had persisted with the breath that uttered
them.

DIED. OF intiammatory fever, at tho Salt-works
on The 18th inst. in the 25th year of his age
CHARLES ii. G.. PREsToN Esq. SON of Cen Fran
CTS Preston of Abingdon.
10 say of the deceased, that whilst living he
was beloved, and that he has died, lamented,
would be but faint tribute to his memory
Scrutiny, itself, with the most searching ewes.
would be constrained to applaud his character
whether we view him a husband father SON
BROTHER friend, ncighbor citizen. His remains
were inferred OF Sunday last, in tho family burial
ground at Aspenve, followed by his amiable and
afflicted wife, and large concourse of friends
nelghbors and citizens, who flocked from all parts
OF the country, to pay the last tribute of respect
to departed worth. An eloquent discourse was
delivered at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Holt, to
the correctness of whose portraiture of the viz
tues of the deceased the hearts of his hearers
gave an affirmative response, whilst their under
stand ings received n forcibe impression of the
moral derived from contemplating the character
OF man OF merit. 1t is painful to think of the
bitter anguish which overwhclmes the disconsolatc
wife OF tho deceased, rs also that which waits his
brothers and sisters, all of whom are absent
The only mitigation that can be offered for that
anguish, is the assurance, that every thing which
could be done to arrest the hand of DEATH was
done-that he died with the most perfect rcsipna
ton to his fate, being in possession of his mental
faculties till the last-and that friends so far ms
they might, supplied the place Of nc ar and dear re-
iations, and felt and manifested the most heartfelt
sorrow.
In the premature death of Mr. Preston, there is an
illustration, not only that
Death is the last boundary ofhuman AFFAIRS
but that youth, and the most vigorous constitution.
with the choicest of temporal blessing superad
ed, furnish no security for the continuance of
human life.
The deceased was educated at Hampden Sidney
college and at the University of Virginia He
had qualified himself for the bar; but decming it
engoie TO superntend, for time, the operations
OF the Salt-works, he deferred the period of com
mencing the practice of the law. Although, ac-
cordlng to common phrase, the deceased was born
and raised in Washington, owing to long absence
at school, he was not extensively known through
the county. During his short stay at the Salt
works, period of little more than year, he be-
came intimately known and highly popular in the
neighborhood, where he will long be remembered
Tor his benefccnce, and all those qualities which
are the constituents in the character of the man
of worth.-Vd. Rep.

morning. got foul ofthc ship Eliza Grant, at anchor
in tho stream Whilst in this situation some alter

Of the brig, and one Of the seamen when the form
or struck the luttor, as is sau, upon the head,
with a malct. The seaman soon after came
OH shore, and warrant having been taken out
against the mate, it was put into the hands of Mr.
WIN. Kennedy, a recently appointed State Con-
stable, who proceeded on board the brig TO arrest
him.
When the officer got on board, Mr.. IIcartwoll
Tetreated to the cabin, and forbade his entrance,
threatening to shoot him if he attempted to do so
The officer was not deferred by this threat and in
the attempt was fred at by the mate, who was
armed with pistol, the ball entering the groin.
Mr.. Kennedy was brought on shore; and Captain
Sayer who was absent from the vessel when tho
circumstance occurred, proceeded on board the
brig, when Mr.. Beartwel gave himself up to an
officer, and was brought on shore, and committed
TO jail for trial. We understand chat the ball was

A New IDEA.-The last number of the Lynch
burg Jefiersonian contains suggestion which
strikes us as not unworthy of consideration, and,
IN that opinion, we lay it before the reader.
THE LEGISLATURE
The slave question seems to have engrossed the
exclusive attention of this body for the last ten
days. The question is argued upon its merits
without reference to any particular plan of eman.
cipation. We should rather have seen some plan
proposed at once, if the Legislature intend any
action upon the subect-thoug 9Th what that plan
should be, we are at loss to determine. That
which recently appeared in the columns of the
Wing, seems to us to be the most feasible. Some
alterations and additions might perhaps render it
more so. For instance, should think that in
stead of applying II TO the State ceperull it would
be more advisable to begin with Counties In
other words, that the amount Of the annual appro-
praton, should be applied to the entire abolition of
slavery i'll the counties successfully. In this way
three important objects might be secured. First
The results of the scheme would be complete as
far as it went. Secondly-Tho consequences of
the abstraction of slave labour would be rendered
PARTIAL while at the same time the benefits of the
plan would be more sensiby felt. Thirdly-The
influx of free abour i'll the counties thus stripped
of their blacks, while it would maniestly pre- sent
the superior advantages of the the other,
would at the time be a wall of security TO
the adjoining counties. No considerable immigra-
ton of whites will ever take place, while each
county in the State is left exposed the evils of
mixed population-which must be the case if the
scheme be applied to the State generally.
AS to the question of the precedence among the
Counties that might be determined by lot annually;
so that the fortunate county might have year in
advance to prepare for the change Fanatics might
be enacted to prevent the transfer of slaves from
one county to another and their introduction into
such as had been relieved from the curse.
We do not recommend this as plan-but mere
Iy as hasty Notwithstanding from hasty Pc
rusal of the scheme recommended in tho Wing.
