ImDortant Document

Lord Clarendon of the British Cabinet has
sent circular to all the Consuls of the EN-
pire in foreign nations giving them certain in
structions in view of the probable contest be-
tween Great Britain and France, on the one
side. and Russia on the other The docu-
ment is very sensible and cordial one. Ii
states the probability of a war at an early day
that there is the fullest and most entire con
currence of views between Great Britain and
Frame. The Consuls are instructed TO look
after the nteres.s Of French. as well as British
citizens, as at many po mis- there may be Bril-.
ish, but not French Consus. II states that
the same instructions have been issued by
the French Government to its consuis abro1d
We are glad TO see this unity Of feeling be-
tween two Of The most powerful, and hereto
fore hostile nations Of Europe. Russia will
have no child's play oii band If il finds itself
arrayed agans these wariike nations.

The City Of Wheeling.

We pcrceive that our friend Wharton. Of
Wheeling Times and Gazette by the bold.
manly defence of his views on the subject Of
slavery, &c has aroused the ire of some Of
the old foggies OF that burgh. and that OF late.
there has been an effort to put him down by
means of a public meeting Of the citizens.
Mr. Wharton has published series of articles
wherein he has maintained that Virginia
would be far better off slavery were remov
ed from her borders; that the progress oil
Ohio and Pennsylvania is enough to satisfy
any man that the stand still policy of Virginia
is owing to the incubs Of slavery, DC. For
uttering these sentiments. which every body
out OF Virginia knows 10 be eternal truth, he
has stirred up the wrath Of some Of the +. F.
VS. and the citizens were called upon TO as
semble at the Court House and denounce
him as traitor to Virginia Interests.
At the appointed time the Court House
was full, and hundreds could not obtain ad-
mitlance. The getters up Of the meeting
soon found that they were in wOfnl minority.
One Of their speakers attempted TO address
them, but the audience put him down with
Kisses and groans Mr.. Whartou was loudly
called for He came forward and made
them a speech wherein he told some very plain
truths OF those who were pursuing this war
fare upon him. II was evident that the
great mass Of the people were with him. and
when he tinished they gave three hearty
cheers fur Wharton. for freedom. and for a
free press
We are glad to see this manifestation oi
sentiment in western Virginia. There is no
greater folly than for the few decayed BRAN
ches Of the old eastern Virginia families. at
tempting to control the energies aud desiinies
Of western Virginia, and especially Of Wheel
ing. AS manufactures and public improve
ment progress the spirit Of freedom will in-
crease. Business men understand these
things. Tbey see that the spirit of slavery
is directly opposed to the progress Of the age.
and they have no love for, or confidence in it
Wheeling aspires to be manufacturing city
1t can never be so 10 any extent so long as
slavery is tho ruling Element in her policy
II don't help the matter particle TO throw
out quires and reams Of slang about "a5oit.
ionisin." fanAlcism,' and all that sort ofthing
The great, distinctive fact exists. II is seen
and known Of all men out Of the reach Of the
influence Of slavery. We honor Wharton
for speaking the word Of truth and soberuesi
to the people. and we honor the people fol
standing by him, in this cricis.

We have. by Southr papers, the follow
in later accounts from Texas ard Of the mur-
der of Col Stem.
FoRr CHApBouRNE. Texas. Feb, 23, 1884.
An express arrived here from Phantom
Till, stating that Jim Ned crossed fresh
trail Of about twenty Indians on foot. Jim
thinks them stealing party of Wachitas.
He followed The trail half of the day on the
18th. and left it for his post about forty miles
from here.
Jim Ned WIS sent out by Major Sibley
with stock Of goods to trade with the North
ern Camanches lie says the northern Indi-
ans are very unfriendly to those posts and to
Texas. The great chief. Wilachacope, sent
word to the Major that he would come here
as soon as the grass grows. and take our
scalps and bum our houses. They would
not allow jim Ned to trade with them, say.
ing that he and all the Indians about here
were like the whites. anc were liars and
mean.
Major Sbley, Leutenants Givens and Tree.
and Assistant Surgeon yollum, and City men
left Belknap on the morning Of the 9th for
Wachta Mountains. with fifteen days provis-
ions. Tree had just returned, having follow
cd the trail for sixty miles. leaving il near the
mouth OF Little Waehits. From the articles
found by Tree. and other signs, the guard
thinks the murdersrs Of Col. Stem to be a
party OF seven Wachtas, who had been on
the look out for Col. Stem for some time. II
seems that the attack commenced by shot
fred from behind. passing through the back
Of the carriage but not hitting either Of the
gentlemen. They Jumped from the carriage.

were beaten down and killed with the butts
Of their rifles. The Indians did not scalp

gold watches and about $3.50 in money
we're found ON their bodies. The Express.

East of the River.

This portion Of Fremont, from some cause
has not improved as rapidly as the West Side.
This is owing, probably. to the fact that near
ly all the business has been done on the West
side. But for residences the east side is
equally as pleasant, and by some though: to
be moro So Several good dwelling houses
have recently been put up. and We notice more
in course Of construction. Mr.. Pease is now
building an extensive SASH and Door Factory
which in month or two will be in operation
The business is to be carried on by Messrs
Mcclellan and Lake. Men every way COM
