Another Rerolulionary Hero gone.

Mr.. LEONARD CRrTzER. one Of our old
revolutionary soldiers, died at his resi-
dence on Booths, Greek. in this County,
on the nth inst. after short illness, in
the Gath year Of his age.
Mr.. Critzsr was native Of the State
Of New Jersey. At an early age he en-
tered the army-then struggling for the
independence of It's country. He was in
several hard fought battles and skirmish-
es. among which WAS the battle of Mon
mouth. He remained in the army until
the end of the war, and then emigrated
to this part of Virginia. where he resided
for upwards of sixty years, beloved and
esteemed by all who knew him.
For many years past Colonel Matthias
Winter has been under pledge-exaet-
ed by the old heroic bury him with the
honOrs of war, whenever the great Com
mander-in- Chief should order him to
sling his knapsack and march to the eter-
nal realms of bliss. This pledge Colonel
Winter fulfilled with scrupulous fidelity ;
taking the command of platoon of fine
looking yOung men, who performed the
duties of the occasion with creditable pre-
cision and solemnity.
After the services at the grave were
over, the company marched to the late
residence Of the deceased. when JOHN
Corr, Esq. WAS called to the Chair, and
James " James, appointed Secretary. A
committee was appointed to draft resOlu-
tons suitable to the occasion. which
reported the following:
Resolpe2, That the pail bearers of the
deceased, the young men who performed
the ceremonies of the day, with their
commander, and as many of the specta-
tors as chose, wear Grape on their left
arm for thirty days, in remembrance and
respect to their deceased friend and the
defender Of his country.
ResoEued, That the proceedings of the
days services be published in the Clarks-
burg papers.

From the Now York Times.

One of our exchanges reprints the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions which
were adopted by Congress, on the 18th of
November, 1777:
"And whereas, the cause of the United
States may be greatly endangered, unless
SUCH of the European po,0erS as regard tie
rights of mankind should INTERFERE TO
PREVENT the ungenerous combination Of
powers against the liberties of said
States:
",ResoIpea. That the Commissioners of
the United States at the several Courts of
Europe, be directed to apply to the several
Courts. and request their immediate Gssis-
lance for preventing further embarcation
of foreign troops to America, and also to
urge the necessity of their acknowledging
the independence of these States
The United States government would
seem from this to have taken ground, at a
very early day, upon the subject which is
regarded by great many public men
now -a-days, as one of the novelties inYen-
ted expressly to disturb their peace. 1t
is true, circumstances have changed ma.
terially. Then wo needed help, and ask
ed for it, on the broad principle that all
uaIlons HulCh leBaEu Ihe IlSuIS vi Hah-
kind" ought to interfere to prevent the
combined intervention of deSpotic powers
against our menaced liberties. Now we
are unwilling-not only to do anything
in regard to such combined interference
against freedom and human rights, but
even to say that we do not approve of it.
The simple proposition to protest against
such a violation of justice and of right is
denounced as departure from our ancient
policy. and as one of the radical innova-
tons by which the stability Of the repub-
lie is threatened.
The time will come when the present
course Of many of our public men, upon
this subject, will be remembered with
shame. When the partizan projects
which lie at the bottom of much Of the
defamation against Kossuth and the cause
of Hungary, shall have passed by. it will
seem strange that such simple truths as
these for which we and other journals
have commended, should have met resist
ance from any quarter,

The plavue.

1t is stated that much apprehension is
felt in New Orleans Of the approach of q
new disease which is called the plague,
and is now said to be prevailing in some
of the West India Islands.
We see by the papers that disease
called by the same name has made its
appearance in some parts Of the West. 1t
is said to be like the cholera. but more
fatal.
Whether it is the same disease as that
which goes by che name of plague in the
East is not stated.
The Boston Medical Journal alludes to
the subject as follows:
cit is very certain, from the accounts
received both here and in England, that
the true plague has been introduced into
Madeira, and the work of death has been
really appalling The question has fire.
ouently been agitated: will that dreadful
disease ever reach this continent? There
is reason to believe it will the wonder is
why ithas not been already. Our COM
mercial intercourse is extensive with va
rious parts of Africa and the Asiatic shore
of the Mediterranean where this great
scourge is never dead or dying, but sim
ply reposing from one period to another,
like fatigued giant, to gather strength
for . renewal of slaughter. Should it
come, it may be hoped there will be
found more science and a stronger barrier
of medical skill to meet and disarm it of
it's terrors, than has been exhibited in
tropical climates, orin the filthy scourge-
inviting regions of Moslem Turkey. The
plague sppertains to the Arabs in this
age and where the same condition of
things exists as charscterizes their modes
of life, their social condition, and the ab-
sence of all common sense efforts to arrest
or avert it, it will have an abiding foot
hold"

Dcmocratic Convention.

mOeratic State Convention, for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the DOmo-
cratic National Convention, assembled
here to-day. There was full attendance
Representative from the several districts
throughout the State.
Mr.. Cox, of Chesterfield. was elected
temporary chairman.
Mr.. Wise proposed that one delegate
from each Congressional district be selec.
ted by the delegation from the said dis.
trict. whose duty it should be to propose
permanent officers.
This measure is looked upon as favor
able to the prospects Of Mr., Buchanan.
A motion was made to amend Mr..
Wise's proposition SO as to leave the APP
Pointment to the chair. This gave rise
to heated and protracted debate. which
lasted all the afternoon. The vote was
being taken on the above proposition, but
the result was not known at the time Of
sending of this dispatch

SMALL TyPEs.-The injury sustained
by the eyes in consequence of printing
books and newspapers in small types, is
far greater, we believe, than people
imagine. For some ten or fifteen years
past, this use of the smaller kind of types
has been very general, in consequence of
that spirit of competition which tempted
the buyer with large amount of reading
matter for small sum of money. The
saving of money has, we fear, been more
than counterbalaneed in the consequent
defect of vision. which has, or will in
time, too surely become apparent.
Especially ought children to be kept
from the use of books or papers defec-
lively printed, OR with small types, for the
strain on their eyes will most assuredly
injure them. In too many of our school
books, small types are used this, with
the everlasting and variety of studies
required in most Of our schools, has, in a
large number of instances, either sadly
injured, or permanently destroyed the
eyes of children. Parents administrators
should look to this mAtter-it is one of
no light importance.--Arthur's Home
Gazette.

ANOTHER FATAL ArrRAr AT RICHMOND

ANOTHER FATAL AFFRAY AT RICHMOND.
Alexander Gillian, of Richmond, and
Amos R, Harold, of Nansemond county,
met at the City Hotel, in Richmond, on
Sunday, as friends, but after drinking
awhile, got into fracas about bet OF
several hundred dollars, which ended in
Gillian knocking Harold down, Soon
after, they met again, and Gillian was
stabbed by Harold three times, DR..
Gibson, formerly of Baltimore, was imme.
diately called in, and pronounced two OF
the wounds mortal. He died the same
evening, and Harold, who appears to
have acted in selt-defense, was arrested.
The Times says;
"Shortly before Mr.. Gilliam's death,
he expressed desire to see Mr.. Harold.
Mr.. Sergeant Ferguson accordingly
brought that gentleman to the bedside of
his dying friend. A deeply affecting
scene ensued between the parties, Mr.
Harold regretting his rashness in using
the knife. and Mr.. Gillian iustifyiug him
for so doing. They, parted-one. soon to
meet his God, the other to a gloomy
prison. "-Bon. Sun.

For tho Register.

Mn. EDIToR.-The voters of Virginia
will soon be called upon to elect three
commissioners, who are to constitute the
Board of Public Works under the new
Constitution. The North west will doubt
less form the greater part of the third
district, for the election of one of those
commissioners. To fill those Offices that
are so intimately connected with the pc
cuniary interests of the citizens, we want
gentlemen of intelligence and enlarged
and liberal views of State policy-those
who are convcrsant with the resources of
the State, and can develope them in the
shortest time, with the least amount of
capital. l would, therefore, respectfully
recommend to the voters of this district,
HENRY o. MIDDLETON, Esq., of Upshur
county, as gentleman possessing in a
high degree, those qualifications. He is
very generally and favorably known
throughout the Northwest. AS fnan-
cer and person OF industrious business
habits, perhaps he has no superior among
us. He is gentleman of finished edu-
cation, and thorough knowledge Of our
interests and wants, and if elected, would
discharge the duties of the Office, with
honor to himself, and benefit, alike to his
constituents and to tho State.

which had been inserted in the bill by the

the bill will at once receive the signature
of the President, and thus become a law.

The N. w. Va. Railroad.

Mr.. Cameron, gentleman engaged in
procuring the right of way along the line
of this road, passed through here last
week, upon that business He informed
us that he had seen a number of gentle
men upon the line of the survey, and was
pleased with the honorable manner in
which he WAS met by the landowners on
the route. He had not met with single
individual who demanded exorbitant da-
IMAGES. We understood this remark as
not applied exclusively to the Clarksburg
route; but he assured us that it was his
conviction that if the citizens of this vicin-
ity took sufficient interest and showed a
desire to have the road pass this way. the
Company would adopt this route.
From many similar instances with which
we have been acquainted. we are led to
the firm belief that the citizens of Clarks-
burg and along the line of the proposed
road, can secure its passage this way if
the proper means are used and its ad-
vantagss are too apparent for US to enter
tain doubt of disposition to use them.
Besides the advantages of cheap freight
and passage to and from the eastern cities,
opening market for our coal and the pro-
auctions of our farms, the building of a
machine or repair shop, which is contem-
plated in case this route is adopted, would
in no small degree augment the business
of this town and county, ALI this can,
without doubt, be secured BY the use
of the proper means.
But what are those means? We may
not be considered good authority, but we
stake our reputation as a prognosticator
on the assertion, that if the right of way
is given the Company upon fair and hon.
orable terms, and sufficient amount OF
stock taken (upon the condition that the
road comes this way to assure the Com
pany that We feel any interest at all in the
matter, that the iron horse will be seen
speeding his way past Clarksburg, before
the novelty of the Wheeling road is lost
to the citizens of that place.
We have been requested to suggest the
propriety of holding a meeting of the citi.
zens of town and country favorable to the
adoption of the Clarksburg route, at the
Courthouse, on the day Ofthe April court
for the purpose of devising means to Sc.
curing liberal subscription to the stock
of the Company, upon the condition Of
this route being adopted, We favor this
plan, and hope the meeting will be held
and largely attended. We have not the
slightest doubt that this stock will prove
to be among the most profitable in the
country. Those best acquainted with such
matters, name ten per cent. as the mini.
mum yield per annum.
Will not this matter be borne i'll mind
