SLAVERY IN VIRG1NfA.-The Wheeling
Gazette is fighting manfully for the right,
against great odds we admit, but the pom
dcrous blows WHARTON gives slavery,
must make it reel and stagger.
In speaking Of slavery, the Gazette says;
"This institution was imposed upon us
when we were the subjects of foreign
tyrant for the purpose of cnriching his cof-
fers, withno thought or fear that these col
onics could become free and republican.
When this country achieved its independ-
ence the institution had become so inter-
woven with the domestic and social rela-
tons of the Southern States that it could
not then be removed; but they regarded il
as an evil that they would prepare to rid
themselves of as fast as possible. Has il
done any good since then? Have the
States in whichit existed prospered, grown
in strength, numbers, intelligence, wealth
or the happiness, in any way, of the great
body of the people, as rapidly as those
where it does not exist? Oh, no. The
population is sparce where slavery is; in
Virginia all complain of the want of COM
forts, the land has become impoverished,
and the population retrograding. Does
slavery, then, do us any good? Does il
not work evils, far greater than any good
that can result from it? Ifthe evil can be
removed, is there any reason whyit should
not be gotten rid of by some means.
OHro.-A bill has passed both branch'
of the Legislature and become law, re-
stricting the liability of stockholders in bus
mess corporations to an amount equal ii
addition to their stock. Under the law be
fore existing, stockholders were individual
1y liable for the whole amount of the com
pany's indebtedness, which operated il
many cases to deter people from taking
stock in such companies, and has thus ten
ded to depress the stocks.

A WHOLE FAMILY Po1soNED.-On Sun
day last Mr.. Marlborough, residing in the
county of hanover, Va, and his whole fam.
ly, consisting ola wife and several children
were taken violently i'll after dinner II
was subsequently ascertained that they had
been poisoned, and their servant woman
who also pretended to be sick, was immedi
ately suspected. The family, at hast ac
counts, were in precarious condition.

Ret@rned.-We ask pardon for notnotic-
ing at an earlier date, the return from Cal
ifornia, of our friend THOMAS STURGEON,
who left this city upwards of a year ago
in company with SAMUEL GRIM with fine
lot of horses for the California market
We understand that Mr.. STURGEON was
very successful in the gold region and re-
turns richly rewarded.
