The Governor spoke in glowing terms OF

Rail Road Convention in Upshur.

On the 9th inst, Convention was held
at Upshur c. H. for the purpose of devils
ing means for the extension of the Loudoun
L II Rail Read Or of constructing some 9TH
er Road from Alexandria through North
Western Virginia, The Convention was
large and composed of intelligent gentlemen
from Harrison, Upshur, Jackson, Richie,
Tucker, Gilmer, Fairfax, Hampshire, Alex
andria, Loudoun, Lewis, Barbour and
Draxton After an animated and extended
discussion of the various matters connected
with such improvement, the Convention a.
.depted the following resolution
Resolved, That the interest of Northern
and Western Virginia clearly demand the
construction Of a railroad from Alexandria
to the Ohio riyer--that We are of the opin.
ION that an extension of any road, termina-
ting in Alexandria, through Western Vir-
GINA to the Ohio river, at point not north
Of Bufipgtons's island, is of expediency.
and absolute right--and that committee of
90 be nominated by the President Of this
Convention, to draft memorial to the
Legislature Of Virginia, ia due and proper
exposition Of these views.
This is movement in the right direc
ton and one which will result in comforting
lasting good upon the inhabitants of the
Northwest, ifprosecuted with an energy
worthy Of the great interests involved. The
improvement of the Northwest has been too
much overlooked by our legistlators-w it'll
a most productive soil and vast mineral
wealth she wants but the means of transpor-
tation to market and she will pour millions
of treasure into the lap of the old Common
wealth. Another great advantage which
would result would be the opening up and
bringing into market all that rich and vast
domain in The Northwest, thereby prevent,
ing the emigration of our population to the
far West, and adding thousands OF dollars to
the revenue of Virginia. As yet, the peo-
PIE in that portion Of the State have none
bat local improvements, and the making Of
thc proposed improvement would be like
iho creation Of new State--it would reju.
yenate tie Old Dominion, The resources
Of the Northwest will continue TO be I'M
known until they are drawn out by some
such Improvement as the one proposed. -

TIE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.

The Charloston Mercury gives an inter-
esting account Of the first locomotive built
in this country 1t says that the South
Carolina railroad was the first one common
ced in the United States, to be worked BY
steam power, and when finished and ready
for use, which was on the I'd Of October,
1888, it was the longest railroad of the
world-being 1876 miles from Charleston to
Hamburg. 1t WIS the first railroad in the
United States that carried the mails, and
the first locomotive built in this country was
constructed for and used on that road.
This engine would be a curiosity if placed
alongside of one of Norris's or Baldwins
last improvements. 1t was named the
"Best Friend" and was built under the
direction of Mr. E. l.. Miller, of Walter
boro, at the West Point Foundry Of Messrs.
kemble. New York The engine had no
tender, but carried its own wood and water.
the wheels were of wood, with spok es like a
wagon, and the wheel armed with wrought
iron tire. The engineer who run the first
locomotive that was used on this or any other
road ia the United States, was n. X, OAR
rell, an apprentice brought up in Dotterer's
machine shop.
After q few trips, the wooden wheels of
the Best Friend" gave way, and were
replaced by cast iron ones, the pattern for
which was made, and the wheels cast by
another of Dotterer's apprentice boys, j.
d. Petsch, then the foreman of that we'll
known establishment These, it is believed,
were the first cast iron wheels used on rail-
roads in this country. The Best Friend y
blew up after brief career, and from its
wreck another engine was built by Mr.
Petsch, at the Company's work shop, of
which he was then in charge. 1t was call
ed the Phmnix. Previously to this the
crank axle had been used but in the re-
construction of this engine Mr.. j D. Pet
sch introduced the straight axle with out.
side connexions, and also wrought iron tires
on the cast iron driving wheels, neither Of
which, 1t is believed, had before been tried
in this country.

RENEGADE Whigs.

The Is, N. press are vindictive in their
coarse abuse of the Hon. James B. Clay
the hyena-lke ferocity with which he is
pursued shews the malignity of fends.
He is denounced as renegade to the prin-
eiples of the wing party and by the very
men who denounced that party and charged
it with corruption. The following was a
plank of the X. N. party adopted in the
Philadelphia Convention
1.-THE American party, having arisen up
on The rains and an spite Of the Wig and
Democratic parties, cannot be held in any
manner responsible for the oJaoaious acts
and rio1ated pledges Of either"
Mr.. Clay never was member of the X.
n. organization, but like thousands of 9TH
er old line wings who would not lick the
hand that smote them, stood aloof and
chose, rather than lose their self-respect by
submitting to the mandates of master to
obey the "will Of the majority" in all things
political, even if it should conflict with their
own sentiments, 20 cooperate with the De-
moeratic party. For this, these men are
denounced as renegades, when, in fact, the
charge were properly applied to themselves
they renowned and denounced their own
party, and because others Of their old asso.
ciates would not unite with them in agree
Ing that they were corrupt, they are politely
charged with being reneqaaes On the same
principle the eloquent Choate, of Massachu-
sets, is renegade--the son of Daniel Web
ster is renegade-the two U. S. Senators
from Nd. are renegades-Preston, of KY, is
renegade, aud hosts of other good men ara
renegades Who, but the bitter, preiudced
partizan, believes it +? No--the instincts
and intelects Of these men could not be
cramped by the narrow and bigoted creed
of Know Nothingism--and they are de-
nounced as "renegades," with "sloughing

Langstr0tb'S Beehive.

We called, day or two since, at The Ees-
idence of j. A. Waddell, Esq, of the Spec
tator, to see colony of Bees at work This
colony is transfer from an CID hive. aud
the Bees were working admirably To our
astonishment, Mr. j. w. JOHNSON, of Phil
adelphia, the agent for the sale, took the hive
TO pieces, presenting US one Of the combs
containing, Bees, brood and honey. This
system of management for the culture Of
Bees is the best that we have ever observed.
and we take pleasure in informing our read
ers of tie many advantages to be derived
by adopting Rev. L. L. I4angstroth's Potent
MoueaWe Comb Hire. The construction of
this hive has been the result of II years
experience by the inventor-cach and every
comb is suspended and law applied which
governs the Bee, causing the colony to place
their combs there and nowhere else-givng
the Bee-keeper entire control over the moth,
colony and comb, which enables him to pro-
tect them under any emergency they may
be placed in,-also, in Kidding the colony OF
the many drones which consume one-half
Vie honey gathered. In fact, it combines
every advantage to facilitate the culture Of
Bees in making them proftable--tLe con-
struction is simple and cheap and worthy Of
attention.
There will be transfer Con Monday
nexD of colony of Bees in the Court-hous
