Februarv 14th. 1851


On the return of my son from Buck
harmon last week, he stated to me that
you had requested him to ask me to give
you in writing, the sub 81 ance of the con
versation held with the Rev. VIM. Wilson
of the NJ. E. Church North, at the inter
view which I sought with him last sum-
mer.
In compliance with this request, state
that from various sources, l had heard
that Mr.. Wilson was an abolitionist, and l
determined to ask him-which as one of
his congregation, I considered l had the
right TO dol did so, because if the 1e-
port was false, could then contradict it
from the highest authority; but, if true,
would again under no circumstances, at
tend one of his meetings. l did SO from
him, and had his reply been in the mega
live, l would have taken great pleasure in
vindicating his cause.
Without going into the minutiae of the
conversation, l asked him il the report
was true, that he was opposed to the fu-
gitve slpve bill? He replied, that he
had the same objection as had been allie
ged to it by the press both at the north
and at the south. l then asked him what
were his objections, to which he replied :
1st.-It denied the fugitive the ri ght OF
a trial by jury.
2d.-It denied to him the benefit of
the writ of Habeas Corpus.
3d.-It did not grant the fugitive the
right and privilege of introducing testi-
mony to rebut that of the master or
claimant.
told him I was aware that these OBJ
jections had been urged against it by a
portion Of the Northern press, but had
yet to see the 6rst objection of the kind
to it from Southern press, DC.
then asked him if the report was true
that he had said he could not extend the
right hand of friendship to any minister
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South? He replied that he had said So,
that he would not, under any circum.
stances do so.and after some few other re-
marks injustifcation of these positions, L
left him, under the full conviction that he
was the most thorough aholitionist, with
whom had ever conversed.
l do not pretend to give Mr.. Wilson's
exact language certainly have Sta
ted the purport and substance of what he
said, to which will testify before any
lice Of the Peace at any moment.

UPsnUR COUNTY. the session
of the Circuit Court for Upshur county,
last week, we paid short visit to Buck
harmon. The Court House which is be-
ing built in that place is still far from be-
ing finished, and Court was held in va
Gated carpenters shop, which comes far
short Of afording accommodations COM
mensurate with the amount Of business to
be done. The Court House, when COM
pleted will be one of the finest in Western
Virginia, and credit to the county that
built it, 1t will cost some So, 500. Con-
siderable business was before the court.
but the cases disposed of while we were
there, were not of a character requirin g
public mention. Judge Camden presi-
ded with his usual dignity.
The town of Buckhannon appears to
be rapidly improving, at least as much so,
as any we know Of; and surrounded by so
fine a country as it is, it is destined to be
place of some Importance.

important news from Europe. War.had

ton, by Rev. R. a. Arthur, to be found
in another column. Mr.. Arthur comes
here from Wheeling, where he enjoys a
high reputation as a teacher and citi-
zen If the past is proper criterion by
which to judge his future succc SIS, he will
make the Northwestern Virginia Acade-

kind in the State. He seems disposed to
give the. institution the advantage of a
portion of that business energy which
was so much wanting under the admins
tration of the old Board of Trustees.

Mr. COOPER Il was in Clarksburg on
Monday last, and there i armed that Mr..
Benjamin Basel, ST., had resigned his Of
fee as Magistrate in the I'd district This
is to be regretted, as no one in the Dis
trict discharged the duties of that office
with more fidelity than Esq. Basel has
done for many years. And as this vacan-
cy has to be filed, would announce the
name of Col. DAVID C. CoPLIN as man
in every way qualified TO fill said vacan-
cy; and hope it may suit Col. Coplin to
run, and that he will Immediately an,
nounce himself.

EDUCATION IN VtRotN1A-T The Rich
mord Wing argues the necessity for adop-
ting more efficient system Of education
in this State. 1t says -
Every decade exhibits rapid and
fearful increase Of this mass of Ignorance
In 1910, the number OF the unlettered in
Virginia it amounted to 10000. In
1850 exceeded 10000. At this rate it
will not require many centuries to cxtin-
guish al! knowledge of letters in the
State"

Great Britain and the United States.

Great Britain and the United States.
The public mind of this country has
been somewhat exercised Of late, by the
rumor that the avowal has been rene wed
by member Of the British ministry, that
born subject of that throne, or his chill
dren, we're never exempt from their ale
glance; and also, that in the coming war
in Europe. the goods Of subjects of oppo-
sing powers would not be exempt from
seizure, even if found under a neutral
Gag.
1t will be recollected that it was the
acting upon this principle by the British
Government, that led to the war of 1919
1t is to be regretted that in tn G treaty Of
Client, this principle was not settled, as
it is one which this government can never
allow Great Britain to enforce and the
first attempt that it may make to do SO,
should be the signal for declaration OF
war. We do not lightly estimate the
evils of war, but they would be infinite
ly less than the impressment of our sea-
men, and the national dishonor which
would result from supine yielding to
the dictatorial assumptions of John Bull.
We are free to confess, however, that
we have very little fear on this subject
Great Britain has too great an interest in
retaining our friendship to sacrifice it for
the triaing gain that would be derived
from that source. Laying aside all other
interests, the simple fact that we might
retaliate by fitting out, or permitting 9th
ers to, hundred or two Russian prjVa-
teers, is sufficient to deter the m from en-
forcing a measure so barbarous and I'M
Just. Besides, she has her hands full
Just now, and will not hazard brush
with Brother Jonathan at time when
she might lose so much, and stand SO
slight chance of gaining anything.

EUROPEAN REFUGEES BOUND TO TUR-

in this country, which is published in the
National Intelligencer, says:
Marseilles and Toulon are swarming
with political refugees--Hungarians,
Poles, Italians, &c, and most OF them,
particularly the former, are on their way
to Turkey. Many of them are possessed
of notarial certificates, which they think
are American passports, but the United
States Consul refuses to wise them, to the
great discomfort of the holders. / was
in the same hotel with Hungarian colo
mel, and asked him what he intended
to do with his certificates from a New
York notary. He replied, I shall always
carry it with me, and if taken prisoner
shall produce it, and claim the rights of an
American citizen" became acquain-
ted GNwing my two weeks sojourn at Mar

that not the least attention would be paid

hands Of the Russians would inevitably
be shot Immediately"

same official journal lately made violent
attack upon the American Consul in Ha-
yana, for which its imperial master, the
Governor General. on the following day,
made it publish an humble apology and

BLOCKADE OF Russian PORTS ON TIE
PACIFIC The British government have
it is said, notified the United States that
they shall, Immediately on the commences
ment Of hostilitics in Europe, blockade all
the Russian ports on the Pacific, and that
orders to that edet have already been
transmitted This, it is feared, will con-
siderably effect our California merchants,
and one case in PARTICULARS mentioned, be-
ing an American company of ample means
which have lately completed arrange
ments for working the Russian mines.
Coal is an article Of great importance to
California, the price it brings there being
from $50 to $35 per ton. 1t is in constant
demand to supply the enormous consump.
ton of our steamers in those waters, and
the company in question largely investing
in it, had calculated upon reaping large
profits, at the same time promising to re-
duce the price one half to consumers. Ice
is another article in which there is large
trade between California and the Russian
possessions. Considerable capital is in
vested in this, as in the iron trade, but the
blockade will at once put an end to these
operations.

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE ROMAN CATno-

Roman Catholics, to express their con-
domination of the course of Judge Wood
ward, Of the supreme Court, in bis recent
decision in the suit of the Roman Catho-
lie Bishop of Philadelphia against the
Holy Trinity Church, to obtain possession
of the property. The Germans and
French Catholics say the Judge favored
the Jesuit party, and appointed MAORI
ty of the arbiters on that side. The par
ty opposed to the Bishop among the trus-
tees refused to give up the Church, and
the Judge committed them for contempt
to prison.
American Catholics were invited to
participate in the meeting, and all who
were opposed to the iron rule of the Je-
suits and foreign priesthood. Strong re-
solutions were passed, and speeches de
livered in German, French and English. -
The affair creates much excitement.
