AGENTS For THE BuGLE.


We this week publish a list of our agents;
one or two of the names we have inserted
without previously consulting those whom
VIC appointed, but not without feeling assur-
ed that they will gladly act. We would say
to them, and all others who are interested in
extending the circulation Of our paper, that
Post Masters have the liberty of ranking
letters containing the names of subscribers.
Friends will you all exert yourselves no,C,

forward it as soon as you can, to james Bar
uaby, Jr. General Agent.
TIE PARKERSBURG KIDNAPPERS.
We learn that Governor Barley has at last
moved in reference to the Washington county
outrage. After having suffered his fellow
citizens to remain in the ~kidnappcr's prison
for more than a month, without taking any
official notice Of the outrage committed upon
them, and upon the laws of Ohio, he has a.

comfort of knowing that if Virginia or Ken
lucky should kidnap them, and throw them
into Parkorsburg or Louisville Jail, that in
the course OF a month or six weeks, if their
friends will lay before Governor Blrtley SUI
fcient proof of the outrage, his Excellency

himself of the facts of the case, and act
as energetically as he possibly could, bring
ing all the power of his official station and
private character to bear upon the question.
We agree with the edi tor of the Philanthro-
pist, that the Executive of Ohio should i'm

the Governor of Va, and even if no redress
could have been thus obtained, he might al
least have expressed upon behalf of the PEG.

We are told that the Grand Jury of Wash.
