MURDER {!

John McClung, son of James McClune of
Greenbfier, was murdered, not long since, in
Fayette county, Ohio. He had left this county,
short time before his death, for Illinois, or some
other OF the Western States, and was, at the
tine Of the unfortunate occurrence. on his wav
out to the West. An alteration took place be-
tween him and some persons on the road-per-
haps citizens of the county-n which both he
and his adversaries become very warm and exas-
Perated. If rumor be correct, Mr.. McClung, af-
ter having pursued his enemies some distance,
Tor the purpose, likely of seeking redress for in
suits offered, one of them turned upon him, and
with club, fractured his skull, SO that he died

SMALL NOTES.

The Richmond Wing mentions that memorials
are abont'o be offered in that city for signatures,
asking the Legislature to allow the Banks of
Virginia to issue one, two, three and four dollar
notes.
The policy is one which certainly commends
itself--for whether it is from preference which
people have for small notes over coin, or wbetb.
er it is owing to deficiency in the amount of
coin necessary for circulation-it is very obvious
that since the inhibition to issue has been oper-
ating upon our own Banks the small notes of o.
ther States have been gradually increasing a.
mongst US. If we are TO have this kind Of chr.
rency, therefore, it is far better that it should be
supplied by our own Banks, whose character and
credit are known to the people.

New YoRK. Oct. 6. IS45.


The result of the election in this State affords
an ample field for reflection. AS was anticipated
by well-inforrned men, the Locofoco party have
elected, nominaiiy, majority Of the members;
but in the city of New York the opposing tick
cts have received 3O,S55 votes, while the success
full ticket received only 1890, leaving major
ity against the triumphant party of 1000. By
this minority of 1000 thirteen Locofoco MEM
bers OF the Legislature returned duly elected.
Along the North river, and in some Of the in
terror counties of the State, the elections have
been decided, not through the influence Of great
political principles, as heretofore, but by oag.es
and factions, regardless Of all principle. The
Anti-Rent question has had very great. and in
some counties controlling influence. But who
and what are the men electedl They are Anti
Renters, and nothing else. The Native Ameri-
cans, while. by their organization, they had de-
feated fifteen or sixteen Wing candidates, have
not, so far as we have received adyices, elected a
single member.

STEAMBOAT COLLISION.

The Louisville Journal, of the 3Oth ultimo. has
the following notice Of a melancholy accident on
the Ohio River:
From passengers on the steamboat Mail which
arrived here last night, we learn that the steam
boat Plymouth, bound to ST. Louis, with LARGE
number OF passengers, was run into by the LADY
Madison, near Shawneerown, on Monday NIGHT.

boiler deck. None of the cabin passengers were

gers, ~ not more, were drowned.

moor, and several passengers, who had managed
to keep out Of the water by getting on boxes, &c.
were thus rescued. The boat, it is said, will be
a total loss. Her machinery will probably be
saved.

G5DThe Richmond Whio disapproves If tho =

O"The Richmond Wing dsapproves of the pro-
Ject OF extending the Louisa Railroad through
Staunton TO the Ohio river argues that by so do
ing 1t would in fact become Baltimore road and
be ruinous to the interests of Richmond. We are
really at a loss TO comprehend this objection
recollectlng as we do how recently the Senior
Editor OF the Wing was found in the Harrison
burg Convention, whose object was not merely
to carry the Louisa Railroad TO that town, TWEEN
ty-hye miles nearer to Baltimore, but as we un-
derstood it, to extend it also. at some future day,
westward 10 the Ohio.

~ Some filings have been made, we under
stand, at the tameness Of spirit manifested by our
population in allowing the law to take its regu-
lar course in regard to the wretches engaged in
the recent horrible outrage committed in our CON-
munity. Even our neighbor Of the Valley Star,
who is limb of the law, expressed in his col
umns the opinion that they should have been
dealt with according to the code Of Judge Lynch.
We have only to say in reply to these things
that the true character of our citizens is mistaken
They are law-lovng and law-abiding people
and the culprits being in the hands OF the law,
they were willing that they should be dealt with
by the law. If that had been frustrated however
after their guilt had been made manifest-we
will not dare to say how far forbearance with
them would have ceased to be virtue. We
have never known deeper or more intense feel
Ing exhibited in our community, and the only re-
greet we hear expressed now by any one is, that
the scoundrel Johnston is not made to share the
fate Of the negroes. We trust that another ses-
sion of the Legislature will not he allowed to
pass without such an amendment of our laws as
will make the white man associated in crime of
any kind with the negro subject to the same pun
ishment This, we are sure, is now demanded by
the public sentiment of our community.

MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE.

A slip from the Office of the Charlestown, Va.
Free Press furnishes the following account of. a
serious accident which occurred near that place
on Thursday evening last:
On Thursday evening, Mr.. Henry Brown, (the
Agent of the Winchester Rail Road at Harper's
Fery,) his son William, and Mr.. Henry Gasker,
together with several others, were engaged in
pushing an iron car, laden with coal, and whilst
so engaged portion of the trussei work at the
bridge Immediately above the road that leads
over the Shenandoah river, gave way, precipi-
tating all engaged, with tho car, and burying
them beneath the coal.
Our informant states that Mr.. Brown was Ia
ken from under the ruins much injured, and his
recovery pronounced doubtful; his son William
corpse, and Mr.. Gasker, and another individual
whose name we have not learned, also dead.

u meeting has been held in Fairfax coun-
ty on the subject of the call OF Convention to
amend the State Consti,ution.-The resolutions
adopted are decidedly in favor Of Convention,
and equally decided in favor of adhering to the
mixed basis of representation. This may seem
little incongruous to some of our Western
friends, the whole burden of whose complaint,
SO far as it is expressed in their public proceed

tor takes place. DR.. MooRE having declined,
there are but two candidates in the field-Samuel
McD. Moore, esq. (Whig) of Rockbridge, and
Jacob Baylor, esq. (Democra,) of Augusta.
We hope our Wing friends will bear in mind
that special elections are usually but thny at
tended. and that if they wish to save themselves
the modification of seeing this, perhaps the
strongest Wing district in the State, represented
for the next two years in the State Senate by a
Democrat, they must bestir themselves. Our
opponents are willy and active. and as will be
seen from Mr.. Moore's card in this paper, while
they are trying 10 lull us here Augusta with a
syren song Of peace and .rucevto barty POLITICS

tune is wholly different one in Rockbrdge.-

may suppose it was not expected that the eyes of
any but the faithful would see-ther addresses
and celebrations are all to PARTY. They think,
no doubt, that they have caught US in a predica-

proposition to arrest the James River and Kama

and gross violation of the rights and interests OF
the Western portion of Virginia.
Upon this resolution the Richmond Delegation
declined to vote, and the resolution was then
unanimously adopted.
The following resolution was offered by Will
liam II. TerriIl. Esq, Of Bath county, and unan-
imonsly adopted viz:
Resolved, That this Convention consider the
proposition to make Lynchburg the Eastern ter
minus Of the South Western Improvement, as a

moment, be entertained by the Legislature.
