DWe have received communication signed
"Brooke'' from Wellsbu,g, on the subject of a
railroad c-nnecton between Wheeling and the
counties of Brooke and Hancock. We never,
however. publish anonymous communications, and
while we like the tone of the letter, yet we are
compelled by the stringeucy of a necessary rule to
decline its publication until the author furnishes
us with his name. He will doubtless at once per-
ceiye the proprety of our course in this respect,
as without an infexible practice of this kind con-
ductors of public Journals are always liable 10 be
imposed upon. We agree with the writer in think
ing that better feeling should exist between the
sections, and may be allowed to say that there is
no real cause for this feeling and that harmonious
concert last winter would have secured a charter
for a road which would have accommodated alike
the counties of Brooke, Hancock and Ohio, and
have thus harmonized the conflicting claims of all
parts of tile Panhandle.

MIR. Minors Address to the People

We received some weeks since, through the
kindness Of the author, copy of an able address
10 the people OF Virginia, by Lucien Minor, on a.

kindness we loaned it to atemperance friend, who
was so much pleased with it, that he has kept it.
and IS doubtless making good use oft. We have
been supplied with few extra copies and will
take pleasure in presenting it to the public, and
to our Temperance readers in particular, so soon
as our space will admit ofit We have been ac-
qualnted with the author ever since we could re-
member, and as far back as we remember he was
the earnest advocate in the great cause in which
he is still engaged. His zeal never has for
moment faltered, and he has ever been ready and
able to teach and TO practice the principles which
he advocates. His attention has been constantly
fixed on this subject, and we presume that no man
in the Union is better qualified than he is, to
give correctlythe melancholy statistics of alcohol
This address presents sad record of the drunk
ards doom and truly depicts the moral and social
and even pecuniary evils, resulting from lntempe-
rance. While we are not prepared to approve en-
trely the remedy proposed yet all must agree that
something should be done, and we take pleasure
in laying this address before readers for their
consideration. hoping that the appalling statistics
which it contains, will impress upon all the neces-
sity OF preventing, by some proper means, the re-
currence of the sad facts on which It is based
The address is an able one and must do good. 1t
is the free will Offering of one who has devoted a
like his energies and his means to the cause of
temperance; he has sent it forth as t.bread upon
the waters" in the well.founded hope that after
many days it will return again, borne back by the
grateful acclaim of witiowless wives and orphan
less children; rescued by his efforts from the sul-
ferIng and want, which Cypress the drunka1d's
wife and the tippler's children; and welcomed by
the well Learned gratitude of all good members of
society.

SECOND RATE VS.. FIRST RArE.-The following
is bit of Thackeray's hpmor, and is very good
If not first rate:
have always had taste for the second rate in
life. Second-rate poetry, for instance, is an un-
common deal pleasanter TO my fancy than your
grsat laundering irst.rate epic poems. Your Mil
ton and Dantes are magnifcent-butl "a bore;
whereas an ode of Horace, or asong of Tom Moore,
is always fresh, sparkling, and welcome.
Second rate claret, again, is notoriously better
than first-rate wine; you get the former genuine,
whereas the latter is loaded and artificial como-
stion that clogs the palate, and botLers the rea-
son. 80
Second-rate beauty in women is likewise, L
maintain, more agreeable than frst-rate Charms
Your first-rate beauty is grand, severe, amful-a
fanltless, frgid angel Of five feet ninesuperb to
beheld at church, or in the park, or at a drawing
room-but hahl how inferior to sweet little Sec
ondIrate nee retrousse, with which you fall in
love in minute. 49,
Second rate novels, also assert to be superior
to the best works of tictioit.3 They give you no
trouble to read, excite 10 painful emotions-you
60 through them with a gentle. Elanguid, agfeea-
BILE interest. Mr.. James, romances are perfect in
this way. The ne plus ultra of indolence may be
enjoyed during their pernsal.

In consequence OF the death of Mr.. KING no
business was done on Wednesday in the Criminal
Court of this District. On the opening of the
Court, Mr.. FENDALL, the District Attorney, said:
May it please the Court: Again 1t becomes my
melancholy duty to announce to you the death Of
distinguished citizen. Intelligence has reac hed
this city that WILLIAM R. KING, Vice President of
the United States, died on Monday evening last a,
his residence in Alabama. This event, long an!
tlclpated, falls heavily on the heart of the nation
The entrance of the deceased, in early manhood,
into public life; the high trusts, legislative and
diplomatic, which were subsequently contitled to
him. and the ability and fidelity with which he dis
charged them-these have all passed into the his
tory of his coyntry. That country has learnt 10
appreciate his character; his tenacious adherence
to what he deemed his duty, the firmness of his
principles, the blandneSs of his manners, and the
sentiment of high honor which governed his con
duct. The loss of such man, under any circum-
stances would be a national calamity. But, in
this instance, how peculiar is its impresSyeness!
Mr.. KING, after enjoying a series, almost continu-
Gus, of public honors, had just been elevated to
the second office in the gift of the people, when he
was forced to seek i'll foreign land relief from his
fearful malady; he found only transient and de-
lusve alienation; and at length took the oath
of his high office, it might almost be said, on his
path to the grave. One only hope remained, that
ne might reach his own country in time to die. it
is consolatory to know that this hope-so dear TO
the patriot and the man-was realized H.. re-
turned to his native land-the land which he had
served so long and had loved so well-and there,
at his own home, sooshed by sympathzing kindred,
friends, and neighbors, yielded up his spirit.
express, feel certain, the feelings of all pres
emit and of the Court. in moving, as now do, that
in manifestation of our grief for the death Of
WILLIAM R. KING, Vice President of the United
States, the Court should adjourn.
The Hon. Judge CRAWFORD replied as follows:
saw this morning the announcement of the
death of Vice President KING; and although it
was an event which was every day to be looked
for, it is one which cannot fail to be felt with re-
gret. join most heartily and sincerelyin all that
has been said in regard TO his WORTH both personal
and official; and desire 10 pay all regard 10 his
memory, which is worthy of the highestrespect Of
his countrymen. He was lover of his country as
well as lover of his party, his affection for his
country was still above all party ties. He was
man'f answering honor; and tits due to his
memory as mark of our respect for the second
Officer of the United States, as well as our regret
for his death, that this Court should now adjourn
The Court was accordingly adjourned. E
