Board of Public Works.

1t will be seen by the following, which
we extract from the Richmond Enquirer,
that Col. Saml. L. Hays, of Gilmer coun-
ty, has consented to become candidate
for the Board of Public Works-provided
he receives the nomination. We are gra-
titled with the promptness with which he
declares himself in favor of, and willing to
abide by the decision of, a Convention
Mr.. Hayes also possesses the requisites of
a good officer of that board

on through the medium of your paper, as
other sources, to say if will consent to
become candidate for Commissioner of
Public Works. 1t may be thought some
what premature to make such announce
ment before the law districting the State
and defining the duties and powers of the
Commissioners, has been enacted but
when we consider the geographical extent
of any district that may be formed, and
the short time that will elapse before the
probable day of election, l think it but res
pectful to my friends, and due to all con-
cerned, to say at once, that there is no Of
fee within the gift OF the people, to the
duties of which could more cheerfully
devote all my feeble energies. than to those
of that branch of the public service

a candidate, only reserving to myself the
right to submit to any fair expression of
public opinion that may be given previous
to the election.

BRlTlsH HONDURAS ELEVATED TO CoLo-
NY.-The Belize, or British Honduras, it
is stated, has been elevated to a Colony;
the superintendent converted into Go
vernon; a Constitution given to the people
by the British Government. The pro
vince extends almost across the continent,
and with the recently created colony of the
Bay OF Islands foreshadows the sequel to
the Mosquito Protectorate. 1t is also ru-
mored that the Central Americans have
re-posessed themselves of the port of Lii
mas, from which they were elected in
September, 1851 by H. B. NJ schooner
Bermuda, and have again hoisted the
Central American flag, in the room of the

Death of 9Irs. Sarah Morris.

Its my painful duty to announce in this
days paper the death of my dear wife );
who was called from me and her seven
children, and her numerous relatives and
friends, very suddenly on Wednesday eve
ming last, 26th inst. at about o'clock.
Mrs. Morris had not yet recovered from
a case of confinement, which occurred on
the 9th of December, 1852. Her health
had been very precarious, and her ulti-
mate recovery was regarded by both her
and myself us exceedingly doubtful. She
spoke frequently about this event to me,
and also to several of her relations, in
manner that impressed her remarks on
our minds. On the subject of religion, we
frequently talked in an unusually impress
sivc and earnest style when by ourselves,
during her bad health. She is gone-yes,
gone to world of spirits and have not
doubt but her departed spirit is now in
Heaven. Attempting to rise to her feet
from her chair, on the evening of her
death she fell on the floor; and she now
sweetly sleeps in Jesus.
age. She united with the NJ. p. Church
before we were married and lived and
died within the pale ofthat Church. AS
a wife, she was faithful, loving and at
tentive as Il mother, she was truly kind
and indulgent as arelative, warm-heart
ed and atfectionate and as Il neighbour
SHE NEVER lad an enemy.
Sitting by her side as 1 write this arti-
Gle, L feel truly the comforts of religion.
1.-The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away and blessed be the name of the

however, has been found. His neip66crS,
or at least some of them, confidently as
sert that he had money, and that it is bu-
ried somewhere adjacent to his dwelling
house.
OF his history in early life, but little is
known beyond the vague reports of ma
dam rumor. But if half be true, put in
circulation by this agency, his life has
been full of romance and eccentricities.-
His personal property, consisting of silver
ware and an innumerable variety of curl
Gus and rare chattelS, were sold at this
place on the 18th inst, by the Sheriff.
The sale drew together large concourse
of people, and the bidding was quite spir-
tied, many of the articles bringing high
prices. The sale continued two days!
The young men of our village have. or
ganlzed a Lyceum, and taken the initiate
ry steps towards forming library. The
first meeting of the Lyceum took place
last Thursday, with fattering prospects of
future usefulness.

Total number of delegates,

We merely submit this plan for the con-
sideration of those interested, and request
them to give it such attention as it de-
serves. 1t is very possible that a better
one can be devised, and if so, we shall be
pleased to lay it before our readers. In
the meantime, we hope something definite
will be fixed upon, that some action can
be taken at the February Court. The
time is drawing near when Conventions
should be held to nominate candidates for
Congress, Board of Public Works and
Senator, and if we have County Con-
vention, it should be held in time to ap-
point delegates to them. We are satisfied
that if meeting is held and fair express
sion obtained, nine-tenths will be found in
favor of Convention.

FLORIDA AND THE SMlNoLE INDIANs-A
bill has passed. the Legislature ofFlorida.
to authorize the raising of two regiments
of volunteers for Indian services. Accor-
ding TO the Floridan, the bill provides
that the regiments thus raised shall be ten
dered to the Government, and if refused,
the Governor is then to employ them in
removing the savages. 1t appropriates
$500, 900, pledging ten per cent. of the
State revenue for the redemption of the
bonds authorized to be issued to raise this
sum. The Governor is required to keep
the tender of volunteers open until the
4th of May next, when, if they are not re-
and nothing is being done towards
removing the Indians in the meantime,
the State is to go to work aud do the bu-
siness herself.

STOPPING PAPERs.-An exchange says,
'.When man gets mad and stops his
paper, he always borrows the next num-
Der of his neighbor, to see if the with
drawal of patronage hasn't killed the edi-
tor and dressed the columns in mourning.
This grows out of the fact that none try
to show their spite in this way but the
kind of people who imagine that the world
rests on their shoulders. 81.

a Democratic County Organization.


We have frequently reminded the De-
mocratic party of Harrison county of the
necessity of proper organization to en-
sure its success at elections, but for some
cause better known to others than to us,
nothing has ever been done. We believe,
however, that the experience of the last
election for county officers has satisfied all
that nominations should be made, if they
can be upon fair principles and through a
general expression Of the preferences of
the party. Quite a number of our leading
partizans have so expressed themselves to
us, and we have yet to hear the first word
of opposition,
The time is rapidly approaching to elect
members of Congress, the Board of Pub
lie Works, State Senators and Delegates.
The time for the election of these officers
has not yet been fixed, but it is the gene
raj impression that it will be sometime in
April. We presume no person will con-
tend that these are not all "politicaz Off
ces," and should be filled according to the
political predictions of a majority of those
by whom they are to be chosen. And it
is necessary, in order to obtain a fair ex
preston of the preferences of party in
the selection of its candidates, that pro-
per organization be formed and the
candidates designated by itself; otherwise

We submit plan for the organization
of the Democratic party, based upon the
vote cast at the late Presidential election,
(Which is the only means we have of get

tricts) and the supposition that Democrats
only should be represented in making
nominations for Democrats. Let primary
meetings be held in each district, to elect
one delegate for every so Democratic
votes, or fraction of 25 or over, to attend
County Convention to be held in Clarks
burg and let that Convention nominate
candidates for Delegates, or any other
county officers, and appoint sub delegates
to attend Conventions for nominating can
didates for Congress, Board of Public
Works, Senator, &c. This proposition
would give 81 delegates, (apportioned as
found in the following table, an uneven
number, preeluding the possibility of any
difficulty arising from a tie vote, and
enough to obtain full expression of the
will of the people.
The following is the number of Demo
cratic votes cast in each district atthe last
election, and the number of delegates to
which each would be entitled under this
arrangement -
