We present the following from the Ohio
State Journal TO our Baltimore ncighbors and
beg them to reflect whether there is not enough
evidence presented from Ohio TO determine
their action
BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL ROAD.
The people of this section of the State. are
awakening To the importance of an early ter
mination of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
at Wheeling. Along the whole route of the
National Road east. from this point, cmbra-
cling on area ol territory highly improved and
rich IN Its soil and mineral resources, there is
drawing consciousness of important inter
ests too long neglected. The erection of a
bridge over the eastern division of the Ohio.
at Wheeling, TO perfect the Chain of commu-
nication opened by the national road To the
east aud facilitate the transportation of the
mail, Is desidCratum ot such importance as
To induce earnest efforts ON the part of many
oil the western members during several ses.
sions OF Congress. The feeling manifested
has been such as To give earnest of SUCCESS al
no distant period. But. the completion of a
chain oi railroad communication from Balti-
more To the Ohio River, opening at once Ia
the cast, the productions of the rich valley ol
the OHIO, and bringing the great agricultural
State OF the West, within "a days travel of the
eastern market, is a matter of more absorbing
interest. IL seems almost incredible that
Licking, Muskingnm. Guernsey, Monroe, JET
icrson, Belmont and Harrison. should so long
remain apparently insensiblc to question oi
such importance to them. BY energetic move
ments from this time, in connection with the
well directed efforts of n large portion of
Western Virginia, all may yet be accomplish
ed; and other sections of the State more re-
motely interested, will not long withhold their
aid to the completion of this great enterprise.

THE OLD BACHELORS.


Who are the men that oft we meet.
With eyes cast down towards the street
That give nod but never speak?
Old Bachelors.
who pass their days and nights i'm fear,
Because no gentle wives are near.
Their weary aching hearts to cheer7
Old Bachelors.
What men sit up too late at night,
Iocad those tales of Glove at sight"
And wishing they could have "bite2'
Old Bachelors.
What men, forever, ever wear
Their clothes till they are worn threadbarC
And know not how they look, nor carer
Old Bachelors.
Who pass in wrctchedncss their lives.
And wish that they had married wives
Before they'd reached their thirty-fves
Old Bachelors.
who would not now propose for gold.
Because they've got tO be- so old.
And all the girls look up 50 cold1
Old Bachelors.
Who hath no pity in her heart.

but wishes they might always smart2

works are now i'll full operation, rolling mill,
nail machines and all and we never saw a
more busy place than it is. We yesterday
examined and tested some of the NAILS from

them superior TO any cm nails erer before
manufactured in this country. As a proof of
thlaswccpins assertion, we will state. that we
took several Of these nails of the common size

board, ciinched them closely. drove them out
again, Strengthened them and drove them 10

fourth the common nails will drive into .

not one tenth of the common cut nails will
clinch before they break.

IL is stated in the GAINESVILLE papers. that
$4,000 dollars has been already subscribed
towards commencing Cotton Factory i'm

W" not taken to set in operation our large
Cotton factory. 1t is very much TO b. regret r.
ted, that that building should remain idle.
When everything else is at work and the busi
ness would pay good dividends.

The friends of Secretary Walker in Missis-

censure for failing to hand to Mr. Thompson
the commission as u. S. Senator forwarded
to Mr.. w. by Gov. Brown of Mississippi. at
the close OF the last session of Congress, have
deemed 1t necessary TO charge the Governor
with something wrong i'll the matter. The
last Mississippian repels this attempt and
gives notice that i'll few days full state
ment of all the facts will be laid before the
public by the Governor himself Governor
Brown, (says the Missssippian. } in the prompt
discharge OF high duty, appointed Mr. Thomp-
son as Senator i'll Congress. Mr.. Thompson
was in Washington when the commission ar
rived there, and would have accepted the APP
poinlmcnt, bit his commission ,cas suppressed
These are the facts; and such as they are we
give them to the public."-It adds, '.Mr.
Walker must explain the rest" The suppress
sion OF this commission is creating great ex-
element in Mississippi; and we apprehend
Mr. Walker will find some difficulty in defen.

VlRGlNlA.-lt seems that we misapprchcnd-
ed the Kanawha Republican. That paper
proposes the formation of new Annual
Conference between the Blue Ridge and the
Ohio River; and that after its formation. this
Conference shall determine whether il will be
connected with the Northern or with the
Southern organization. Its suggestion was
designed TO prevent the decision of the question
by individual Societies now, which it thinks
will end in "disunion and ruin, !" ifattemptcd.
The Abingdon Virginian has an article on
the subject, defending the Southern organiza-
tlon, and making a warm appeal to the
Mcthodists OF that section of the State to
adhere to it, 1t says, however, eve regret
to know that very large portion of the
Nj ,thodists in southwestern Virginia, minis
tiers as well as laymen, are opposed To the
separation, and among them our worthy and
talented friend of the (Wytheville) Mountain
Wing. In Wythe particularly, Tazewel
Russell and Scott, hundreds of Mcthodists are
with the North" &c
The Wythevillc Wing expresses the belief
that avery large majority of the membership

position they have ever occupied, and To- sus-
