DIED.

Departed this life on Yesterday morning Mt
3 o'clock. Mrs VIRGINIA ELIZABETH
WESIFlELD, wife of Edward Westfield OF
this Village, after u protracted illness of six
weeks.
Several years previous to her death Mrs.
Wcsthcld connected herself with the Methodist
Episcopal Church-livcd consistent, pious life
faithful to all the duties which devolycd
upon her, as n christian, n wife. n mother and
n friend. and died in hope of blessed immor.
taiI'y. Her sorrowing relatives may safely
appropriate to themselves the precious conso-
lation. that their loss is her great gain"
The deceased leavs n devoted husband bowed
to the earth under the heavy nffIiction, which
IN his own language strips him of his ALA
tender babe, her only surviving child, whose
existence bears date with it's mothers last i'll
ncss--and many near and dear relations and
friends.
Our departed friend filled n large space in
the affections CT the people Of this com.
m"nity. The vacuum in their regards, which
her death creates, cannot be readily supplied
O"r riNaqc ton. has sustained u great Jercarenent.

dHiiy cooperate with them in testing the
efficacy Of their plans for the salvation Of
the country, and if they fail, ,hon will they
be ready to cooperate with her in testing
the virtue Of the plan SHE NAV propose
Being, as they are, Il minority of fourteen
to one, it is nothing but common courtesy
! to give their suggestions fair test, even
though VIC might have no faith in thci,
efficiency.
We say, therefore, to those who favor the
movement, though YOU may be only par,
OF the State, send on your delegates. tho
Cincinnati Convention slall nominate q
true Democrat, whether from the North O,
the South, the State will vote for him, and
'hus endorse you and your delegates and
1t 1t docs not nominate a truo Democrat
the State is Ly no means pledged to vote
tor him, and will not. Your delegates will
never vote in Convention for an unreliable
man. So, i'll either case, tho Slate will
assurcdly endorse their action in the Con.
fcntion. .s,.
1t is certainly important that good
nomination 'shoul be made at Cincinnati,
for either the nominee of that Convention
or the candidate of the Black Republican
party will be the next President. The
votes and influence of South Carolina in
the Convention may secure tho nomination
Of constitutional man, thereby forcing, ii,
the succeeding election, fair and practical
solution OF the great question whether a
majority of the people of this Confcdcracy
arc prepared to sustain or ignore the Con.
stlt'tiou which holds the States together
"e want to see the question decided; then
let us aid by all the means in our power in
placing it, naked and undisyuscd, before
the people for decision.

Heroes of the Rai}.

1t the highest service man can perform
is the sa*ing Of human life, the heroisrn of
a rai'oad engineer who inteligcntly ap.
plies mcans to save u passenger train in
rapid motion from destruction, ut the haz-
ard OF crushing his engine and the prospect
Of the violent death Of all upon it, is nobler
and better than any martyrtlom ut Water.
loo or Balakava
Engineer John +. Haskins, in charge ofa
passenger locomotive upon the Rochester
and niagara Falls Road, saved train of
cars containing one hundred and fifty trav-
elIers, thus sk''tl,liy and bravcly. lie was
running rapidly upon an cmLanklnent. A
hanGe flew oft from one of the forward
truck wheels. The divergence of the head
OF the machine from the line of the tract,
caught the engineers eye, and told him that
the engine must go down the bank. Atthc
same instant he felt the train press upon the
tender and engine, aud knew the couplings
were slack. This sensation suggested 10
his experienced mind as quick rs lightning
the salvation of the passenger cars by the
breaking of The first coupling next the ten
dor 10y sudden and powerful jerk. lie
twltchcd open the throttle valve to its full
width, and gave the piston suddenly full
head Of steam. Tho engine lcaped, snapped
the couplings of-tte first car, plunged down
the bank and over,uruc,l-the Who'll. train
passed IN safety upon the rails, and were
stopped by the brcals--i,s savior, severely
wounded, but not killed, laid at tho bottom.
Digpitied as heroic, the faithful engineer
refused large present Of money from the
passengers whom his devotion had saved.

The Cincinnati Convention,

WE had word or two to say Of the
much-talkcd of Cincinnati Convention, in
view Of the meeting PROPOSED to be holden
here on sale-day, but want of space pre-
clu'les any lengthy remarks. The question
has, however, been well discussed through
our columns, (not editorially,) and We pre-
sumo there arc few intelligent men in the
District who have not already made up an
opinion. 1t ouly remains for them now
to declare it.
If the opposition to this movement had
been half rs able as it has been fierce and
unscrupulous, those who originated it and
those who have favored it would have been
utterly demolished and damned before now.
But we have yet to see dignifed and con-
elusive argument against it. 1t has been
denounced, not reasoned against. Its sup
porters have been denoninatcd denagogues,
ofiice-seekers, spoilsmen, and SO on. These
pitiful substitutes for argument only show
the lack Of argument. It would perhaps
be we'll for certain class Of editors and
newspaper writers to consider that such ep-
ithets as "demagoguc," and the like, sound
harshiy when applied to their fellow. citizens
in South Carolina. A too liberal indul-
gence in their repetition may embolden
them to resort to still harsher words. and
thereby give occasion to the "demagogues"
to show that they are not towards and era.
vens. We claim as much patriotism and
political integrity for the Convention party
as we concede to their opponents, and those
who deny it are themselves demagogues.
But the time has passed over when the
people of South Carolina we're to be fright
ened from an expression of their sentiments
OF the execution Of their purposes by the
cry OF "demagogue." The Democracy, or
such portion >of them as have not vet
thanked God that they are not rs those
publicans and sinners Of other slaveholding
States, will send delegates to Cincinnati.
They do not pretend to represent the Slate,
they pretend only to represent those Of
the State who consider the Democracy Of
the South, and that portion Of it in ahe
North that bas nanfully stood for the Con.
stitutionS g worthy of their. fellowship, and
