A very short period will show the di-

peated changes in the offices. An officer
is elected at one muster, and perhaps in
six months resigns, or removes. or fails
to qualify, and in this way, half the time,
the companies are without officers. or have

For the Register.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t has been often said
and very properly, that the military sys-
tenn as practiced in this section of the
State is burlesque on the militia laws OF
Virginia. This should not be the case,
and am satisfied that it will only require
an effort on the part of the 18th regiment
to make it what the law requires.
The law requires in each regiment, two
battalions, and each battalion to consist OF
at least four companies of The line, be-
sides the volunteer companies attached
thereto. In the 18th regiment there are
but four companies of infantry of the line.
just half the number the law requires
If the officers would, on the goth inst, at
the time the board of officers are to con-
yene, take the subject in hand, and so al
ter the metes and bounds of the eompa-
MES as to make the number in the regi-
ment conform to law, and then, so soon
as convenient, superintend the election of
officers in the new companies that may be
organized, it seems to me that there would
soon be little cause of complaint.
The reason why the officers of the regi-
ment are not better qualified to discharge
their respective duties. is owing to the re.

A SCOTT TURN1P.-We were presented
on Tuesday last, by Mr.. John Whey, a
good Scott Wing, with a large turnip,
weighing four pounds and two ounces,
which he very properly denominated a
Scott turnip. The turnip was raised up
on good Wing soil, was cultivated by a
good Scott Wing, and was very properly
called Scott turnip because of its sound
ness-there being no pith or hollowness
about it. Mr.. Whey says he has plenty
more of the same sort, in fine growing
condition. We hope all Scott Wings will
be equally successful.-Le,ois6ury Chron

inches in circumference. Although good
Wing, Mr.. Hursey prefers calling his an
Union turnip.

HoRRIaLE MuRDER.-The Alexandria
(Ya.) Gazette, gives the particulars of a
horrible transaction at that city. On
Sunday, the Gath ult., man named John
McNally was buried in the Catholic bu-
rying ground at midnight. This circum-
stance gave rise to suspicion of foul play.
when the body was exhumed, and on cx-
animation, was found to have received
thirteen musket-shot wounds on the
breast, and other cuts and wounds on the
head. Warrants were Immediately issu-
ed, and the family of the man arrested
They were his wife, son-in-law and
daughter. The son-in-law named Vance,
had borrowed gun from neighboE on
Sunday, and on being called upon on
Monday for its return, stated that he had
hidden it in the woods for fear of being
suspected of the murder of McNally.--
The rest of the family affirmed that the
deceased died in n fit. The evidence
against Vance and the wife and daughter,
was so strong, that the Magistrate COM
mitted all three to Jail at Fairfax court
house, to answer the charge before the
examining court. 1t is said that McNal-
ly owned some property in Philadelphia.
and had some money at his own house.

LADIES SUPPER-The ladies of Clarks-

Friday evenings, for the purpose of as
sisting to build an Episcopal Church in
this place. A bachelor friend says the
ladies were beautiful, the viands plentiful,
the decorations of the room tasteful, and
the gentlemen bountiful. Upwards OF
one hundred dollars were cleared by the
operation. The Rev. Mr.. Castleman is
expected to take charge of the new church.
He has preached several times in this
place, and SO far as we are informed, gil

owe judge that the skeleton is that of
a red man, from the peculiar shape of his
chin and the soundness of his teeth and
from the enormous size of his skull, his
thigh-bones, and other parts of the hu-
man frame, he could not have been less
than seven feet high. Most of the remains
crumbled to pieces upon being exposed to
the air. A portion of one of his jaws,
however, full teethed, has been secured
by ourSelf."

other jaw and make a nut-cracker of

a WHOLESOME PRov1sIox-Among the
resolutions adopted by the Conference of
the Methodist Church South, was one that
the preachers should once a month preach
to the colored people upon the plantations
OF their masters. This is obviously de-
signed for such as cannot attend public
service at the appointments, and should
be an 'eye-op9ner' to the fanatics of the
North. The negro population of Virginia,
and in other Southern States, have all the
facilities for attending divine service that
can be given to them. The duties that
call for light labor on that day, dev1lve
first upon one, then the other, and thus
all have an opportunity of attending reli-
glous worship, if they feel disposed TO do
SO. We have known repeated instances
where the master who resides in the coup-
try, has given faithful servants the use of
his horse, whilst he himself remained at
home, and these cases are by no means
rare, occurring more frequently in all pro-
liability than in fanatical New England
between the white landholder and the
white operatiye.-FredericksJure Herald

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAIL RoAD.-A
report of the Chief Engineer, upon tho
condition of that part Of the Road under
construction between Cumberland and
Wheeling, gives some interesting details
respecting it. There are ia bridges on
the route. Of the entire number, only
two of the large class are in an unfinished
state. The principal bridge crosses The
Monongahela mile above Fairmont, and
is 600 feet long, with an elevation Of 10
feet above the water. The NEXT in mag"
nitude is over Wheeling Greek, Al the
end of the Road, and is $50 feet long
an elevation of 80 feet. Both, with the
exception Of the floor, are constructed en-
tirely of iron. The number of tunnels on
the road is IL, and their aggregate length
is about two miles. The shortest is lO5'
and the longest 400 feet long. They
are all completed except two. The only
two items of unfinished work left behind
by the track in its progress west are the
Monongahela Viaduot aud the Board

SLAVE TRADE EXTINCT IN BRAzrL:-
Inc African slave trade which, for SO ma
ny years was extensively carried on by
brazil has at length become extinct
through the decided steps taken by that
government. The late advices from Rio
de Janerio state that the Emperor, in olo-
sing the session of the Chambers, pro-
nounced the slave trade extinct, and the
law sufficiently stringent to prevent its
revival. A Portuguese, named Brando,
who acqnired-vast wealth in the trade,
