BARSUM's LAST PROJECT new pro-

which We should like to see tried. In a.
recent temperance speech made by him
in New York. he stated that there were
1000 grog-shops in the city. with an ave-
rage custom in each of probably $40 per
day. He made the following offer to the
city, Wifi the city would shut up all
the grogge'ics. and give him the amount
spent in all ofthem. he would pay all the
city taxes. amounting to 81 900. 900; send

A Coop SIGN FROM GOOD QUARrER.-
What will the New York abolition editors,
and others in our own State who sympa-
thize with the sickly sentimentality of
those journalists says to the action which
has recently been taken by the Legisla.-
ture of the State of Illinois on the subject
Of Slavery We learn that an act has pas
sed both branches of the Legislature,
which not only prohibits the entrance of
free negroes into the State under the PEN
atty of being sold into slavery but abso-
lutely authorizes the admission of Slaves if
brought in or sent by their masters. II
this is true, and we confess that we can,
scarcely credit the statement. the aboli-
ton editors at the North will have as
much as they can attend to in the future
to curb and keep within proper lin It's the
refractory spirit of their own free-soil
friends at home. without spending their
precious time in moralizing upon the bar
barity of their Southern nsighbors. who
not only choose to hold their. negroes in
slavery, but are wisely casting about to rid
their respective Commonwealth of the
grievious nuisance of degraded free ne

Correspondence of the Register.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
RICHoSD, March 10, 1853.


Mr.. ED,ToR The bill appropriating
$4,000 for Matchmaking or planking
portions of the Clarksburg and Buckhan-
non Turnpike has just been passed by this
House.
This bill having received previously
the sanction of the Sen tie, is now become
one of the acts of this Legislature. l
cannot forego congratulaling every citi-
zen of our county-interested in this road
upon the result We have this day attained,
in the final success of this highly impor-
tant measure.
The section of country through which
the line of this road passes, will not only
be benefited by the McAdamization of
this improvement, but the entire country
drained by Elk Greek. in our county, will
derive positive and direct advantage from
this appropriation. In rendering this i'm
portant thoroughfare-to which this mo-
ney is to be applied practicable at all
tribute to the more rapid development and
improvement ofone of the most beautiful.
fertile and populous portions of our al
ready rapidly improving county. 1t is
well known to all of us, that three of the
bes. Touring mills in our vicinity are stu
ate along and near the line of our Clarks-
burg and Buckhannon Turnpike-on Elk
| Greek.
This road, when improved. as contem-
plated, will furnish direct outlet to the
N. w. Virginia Railroad for the trade and
travel of the tier of counties tribututary
to it. and thus give to the citizens OF
Harrison county. living along the line of
the road the drippings of this trade u,
transita to and from the Railroad at
Clarksburg.

~ The Western virginian saws tn,

~ The Western Virginian says that
the murder reported to have been COM
mitted at the Kanawha Salines, was in
vestigated at the last term of the county
of Kanawha, and resulted in the dischar.
ged of Romine. the alleged murderer, the
evidence being insufficient to justify the
court in sending him on for further trial.
The flesh found in the re-place, and sup
posed to be that of man, turned out to
be the skimmings of a soap pot. which the
old woman had thrown into the fire. The
bones. &C.. found. were said to be those
of hogs head. One of the witnesses,
Romine's daughter, testified that her SIS
ters, several days before, while rumma-
ging among the pots. pans &C., came
across said hogs head, and saying darn
you, you sha'nt trouble me no more threw
it into the FIRE place.
