CORRESPONDENCE.
EDlroRs OF TIE MIRROR:

EDiToRs OF TIE Mirror:
The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company ore active in making
preparations to arch the Big Tunnel at Tun.
Melton Station. Mr.. Robert Murray, who
for many years has been in the employ OF
said company, has the charge Of The Tunnel
and expects TO expend some $1,000 monthly
until the tunnel is arched Mr.. Murray does
not prefer darkness 10 light, and will, in the
course Of some ten days, have the tunnel
lighted with gas. The Master Of Roads,
thinks the arching operations will not pre-
vent the trains from passing through as usu-
al, while nearly oil Of his suboraina,es who
have resided near the work for months, and
who are practical men, say it will be impos-
sble TO make the tunnel sufficient width
for double track, and do all tina, must be
done, and have the cars pass through as usu.
al. ..
The Railroad Company will not thank me
for saying that large masses Of rock are fall
ing from The roof Of the Tunnel almos, con.
tinuaIly, thereby making j, very dangerous
at present for travellers 10 pass over the
Road. Very frequently the cars cannot pass
through the Tunnel. and the passengers are
compelled to walk over the Hill, the distance
Of at leas, mile. The newspapers pub.
lishet in the towns and cities through which
this Road passes are nearly always silent
when it is the interest Of this company for
them to be SO. Are YOU thus influenced, Mr..
Editor ? if SO, YOU cannot longer say yours
is on independent sheet But would not
wish your Mirror to reflect the distractions
and difficulties which travellers meet with
on this Road, without showing that the com.
pauy are energetic and will, in the course OF
time, make this safe and pleasant Road to
travel upon. Who does not know that a
newspaper should give the public the facts
as they are, even if pet Company should
offer healing plaster, more eflicaciOus in
healing broken arms and legs than the whole
paraphrenala Of medicine, "rcrJam sat-"
The Wheat Crop in this County was near.

The County Court Of this county, obeyins
the popular voice, granted license to retail

: DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

The town Of Fairmont and its vicinity,
was visited on Thursday afternoon last, with
hurricane such asis seldom witnessed IN
this latitude. A detailed statement oil the
damage sustained appears in the True V'r'
sinian Of Saturday, from which We condense
the following sketch:-
p A dark cloud arose between two and three
o'clock, pouring out deluge of 'ain' and
tornado Of wind. The roof Of the Ptcsby-
terian church was nearly all blown Off
,hs, Of the Banking house was swept clear
olr-the brick gable Of VIM. KeH's stable
was forced in-tl,e suspension Bridge was
twisted and turned upon its side, but settled
,lownin position without much damage
Several small buildings were blowndown.
A. Pala,ine, the roof Of the NJ, !, Church
was removed, school-honse blown down.
4 new brick house belonging 10 MI: Nuzum
wrecked, and many small buildings trees,
cot,liclds, &c, destroyed.
There was considerable damage done at
Batricksvile, but we have not learned the
particulars

Thc s SUSPENSION Bridge.

The Stockholders Of our Wire Suspension
Bridge have been twice forewarned Of the
necessity of securing the structure against
hurricanes. The demolition Of the Wheel
ing Bridge was one warning, and the recent
tossing 10 and fro Of the Fairmont Bridge
was another. The latter had a narrow es'
cape from overthrow. We strongly incline
10 The opinion tina: there should be centre
sicr under our bridge, to which the super
structure should be fastened. This would
eaeetunlly prevent itito'n swaying with the
wind, and would also lessen the tension oil
,tc;wires, and probably nuke il last much
longer than il left toswipg in the wind
"a word TO the wise is sufficient"

Road mcndi,.gE;.

"Be.,er late than never" but the proper
time to mend Roads is in the Spring imme'
ds,ely after corn planting is completed
We notice that the road towards Evansville,
under tho supervision Of Mr.. VIM. Hess
IS now put in good condition for travelling
over during the FulIand Winter.
The road towards Ices Ferry greatly needs
the attention Of The Supervisor: especially
in the immediate suburbs Of our town.
Persons who drive out inibugsies for exer'
Use, se, more of it than they bargained for
and the road is really unsafe for travelling
especially after night. Thisousht not TO be
SO, aud particularly where toll is demanded
ftor the use Of the road.

was in the "Fairmont virsinian" that saw
il. The editor states Tim, Mr.. Clemens said
that "more than onc.third Of the signers Of
the Declaration Of Independence were for
eigneTs." Now j. is astonishing that man
who has been elevated 10 n seat in Congress
should exhibit such gross ignorance, or be
guilty Of such mean misrepresentation
1t reflects discredit, not only upon himself
but upon those who elevated him 10 that
distinguished position. For his particular
instruction ! subjoin the names Of the foreign
born citizens who signed that memorable
document. You will perceive that there
were only eight of them foreigners" Let
us SEQ eight into ffty-six goes-how many
times? Seven, l think! Well then, that's

Plan for the Enlargement Of Marshall
Academy.

According to a resolution adopted by
the Western Virginia Conference Of the
NJ. E. Church, South, at its last session
4 committee were to take into consider
alton the expeGiency of enlarginy the
Academy building, and to devise some
feasible plan to accomplish the object
The following is submitted as the best
means of affecting the object, that can
be adopted:
LIST. That the sum of two thousand dol
lars be raised by the sale of scholarships,
and that these scholarships be of fous
grades, as follows one of three years
at S25-one of five years at s40-one
of ten years at $50, and one of twenty
years at 500, aud that they be available
when the sum of So 900 shall have been
secured.
Cd. That the Trustees Of the Acade.
my to whom the amount of each schol.
arship shall be secured by n bond, so
soon as the specific amount shall have
been raised, give due notice of the sum
tothe purchasers or scholarship.hold
Sd. That one half of the scholarships
be made payable when the sum of 49,
600 shall have been raised. and the bal.
ancc within IL months after that date.
4,h. That the scholarships be trans.
ferrable.
The above is most liberal offer tc
the public, and if it does not meet with
favor among those who have sons OF
wards to educate, we arc greatly mis,a'
ken. 1t proposes TO give for s25 what
according to the present rates of tuition
now costs double that amount, and it
the higher department Of the institution
would cost treble. And as will he seer
by the other grades of scholarships arc
based on still more liberal terms. We
appeal to all who feel an interest in the
progress of Education, and the estab
lishment of an institution Of learning 0
high grade, and extensive usefulness ii
this section. As we doubt not these
shares will be taken at an early day
those who wish to make purchases u
scholarships, will apply to the under
signed, or John LaidIey, Esq, by letter
or otherwise. at Guyandotte, Va.

The New Post Routa Act.

The &C, on this subpc, passed by Con-
gress day or two ago, combines several
important advantages. In The first place
il enumerates and re-enacts all the legal
pos,.roads in one bill, instead Of leaving
them dispersed as now through the Laws
OF forty or fifty years. Next it arranges
them on principle which makes reference
10 the contents of the act quite easy; o
feature not 10 be found in any previous
route bill. Again, it states the points OF
supply by the official names of,he pos. Of.
fees thereat. Lastly, it legalizes the nu-
merous alterations in the course of the
post roads which the adopting Of the rail-
roads as the principal arteries Of the mails
has in late years forced upon the Postmas-
ter General. The Department now starts
off with clean batch ofabout eight ,hous.
and routes, laid down as stated on plan

Know Eothings.

A correspondent Of $40, Day." the ITEM.
pemnce paper at Richmond, furnishes the
following plan for putting down the Know
No,hings. We should like 10 see it adopt.
ed:-
"Let foreigners, in all public matters, act
individually and independently, avoiding all
meetings and organizations as foreigners. let
them study the history and interest OF their
adopted country, and vote as their own in.
terests, and what they believe TO be those Of
The community they live amidst, ind Of the
country u, large, dictate; lie, them join A.
merican companies, American societies, and
host only the American flag; above all lie,
them shun, as treason, the making the votes
Of American citizens, tas all who vote swear
10 BEL subservient 10 their politics and pre-.
judices as Germans and lrishmen, or men oil
any other nation. ......
But if foreigners persist in organizing and
voting as inreigners-,lley will cause the
enactment Of strinQent immigration and MAJ.
uralzation laws; or, worse, they will create
a prejudice aud hostility III the minds Of a
large portion of the American people, that
will bear on foreigners more heavily and
check immigration more eilectuully, than any
laws which native Americans wish Congress
70 pass. We have little doubt lhat alleta.
lions in these laws, making them less Glib.
eral,' as the term is, will be proposed and
we ore sure that the greater efforts the for
eisn population make asains, it. the more
certainly such proposition will be carried
and the more Of the Native American party
spirit will be infused into those laws.

Assault on the President.

WAsnlxcroy, Aug. 5.-Immedia'ely
after the adjournment Of the Serate, as
the President of the United States was
leaving the Capitol ttho Northern door . {,
under the Eastern arcade, he was fol-
lowed out and addressed by james +.
Jetf'ards, of Charleston, South Carolina.
Jeltards was considerably intoxicated at
the time, and was in company with j.
S. Duke, of St. Louis, and J. +. Wig,
gaus, of New York, all Of whom had
been drinking. The President shook
hands with Jeflards, who asked the
President to take drink, which he de-
Glued, and turned to enter his carriage.
As he was doing so his hat was knocked
off by hard boiled egg. Jefiards re-
turned into the Capitol saying tho Pres
ident was damned fool. The Presl-
dent spoke to one Of the police asking
if they had authority to make an arrest,
Captain Huntington and officer Wales
shortly after arrested Jefards, who de-
MED throwing the egg. .t..
An examination was had before Capt
Huntington. One witness saw him
with an egg in his hand a few minutes
previous to the assault. Another testl'
fled that he saw him throw in the dlrec'
ton of the President. Another testlti.
ed that he saw him throw an egg at and
hit the President. The justice decided
to hold him to bail. The accused sent
for Senator Evans, who declined be-
coming bail. Hc then sent for another
In the meantime becoming more sober
he cried bitterly, declaring that if sent
to Jail he would no, be living. He took
oul small knife and stabbed himself
in tho leg Just above the knee, saying
he was determined to bleed to death
His wound bleeding profnsely, no ap'
peared to be alarmed, and allowed it te
be examined. He was then disarmed
The Attorney General then commu
nicated to Captain Huntington tho de-
sire Of tho President tina, the prisoner

The San Juan Affair.

The Baltimore American Of August 9Th,
in speaking of this important affair, says:
at will be seen by our telegnphic des-
patches that the steamship Star Of the West,
arrived at New York, brings intelligence Of
the presence at San Juan Of the English
brig of.war Espiegle and the armed SchOon-
ers Bermuda and Liberty. The English
commander has declared Greyiown or San
Juan under martial law, and had also taken
possession Of Puhta Arenas, the port from
which the Accessory Transit Compuny's
steamers sail.
We publish elsewhere M article from the
Kingston, Jamaica, Journal, giving an &C.
count Of the reception there Of the in,elli.
gcnce Of the destruction Of Greytown and
Of the excitement produced BY it. The ed
itor Of the Journal is excessively bellicose
on the subject, and anticipates an immedi.
ate war between England and france and
the United States, unless our government
makes reparatlcn TO the Grey'own people,
and apologies to England. The GOODNESS
with which the journal talks Of sending a
fleet to New York, Boston or Philadelphia
10 enforce this demand will atlnM amuse-
menl 10 American readers.
Entirely improper and unnecessary as we
hold the destruction OF San Juan to have
been, we can scarcely imagine that it will
be made the ground for serious difficulty be.
tween England and this country. 1t cannot
be disguised, however, that there may be
danger TO the friendship of the two countries
from the course pursued by the british naval
forces OF San Juan. Three Of their vessels
Of war are already there and probably others
will be sent from Halifax, whittier the intel.
liGence was despatched from Kingston
Our Government will also, we presume, or.
der some Of the national vessels there TO
protect American interests, and it is easy 10
foresee how slight want Of proper pru.
dence or forbearancc on either side may Sc.
riously involve the two countries. It is 10
be earnestly hoped, however, that all affair
which has already so greatly dissraccd the
country will not eyentuate in consequences
SO greatly 10 be deprecated.
