Direct Trade.

An English steamship of very large size,
called the Great Eastern, is now nearly finished,
and will make an experimental trip to the Uni
ted States during the approaching summer. 1t
was built for the purpose of trading between
England and this country, but only two ports
on our coast can accommodate her, Norfolk and
Portland, Maine. Her owners, it is said, have
expressed wish to send her to Norfolk, provi-
ded return cargo is secured to them. In view
of this difficulty, and for the purpose of remov-
ing it, the Directors of the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad have recommended Conven-
ton of the various Railroad Companies in Vir-
giuia, Tennessee and Kentucky, to be held at
Bristol on the 18th of April. 1t is proposed
that the Convention select Commission OF
not more than three members, to proceed to
England and lay before the Chambers Of Com
merce of Manchester, Liverpool and London,
such facts with regard to the products and trade
of the country drained by the improvements al
luded to, 'as will place the Importance of di-
rect trade between Great Britain and the Capes
of Virginia in its true position"

Fire ComnanY.

Some of our citizens are making another eff
fort to establish fire company which we hope
may prove successful. Several meetings have
been held, and the Company has been organized
by the election of the following officers:
James II. Waters, President, B. Butcher, Vice
President, r. W. Hardy, 1st Director, R.. j. Wise'

An efficient fire company is much needed in
Staunton, and we trust that the present effort
may meet with encouragement and aid at the
hands of our citizens and the corporate authori-

Proceedings of the Senate.

The United States Senate was in session ell
last week, and transacted variety of executive
business much of which has not yet TRANSFERRED.
On the 9th the standing committees were agreed
upon; the Republicans complaining, however,
that the arrangement was unjust to their party.
The papers in the cases of Simon Cameron and
Messrs. Bright and Fitch, of Indiana, were re-
ferred TO the Judiciary Committee. Among the
papers relating to Cameron was a protest from
members of the Pennsylvania House OF Repres-
entatives, charging that he had been elected by
corrupt and fraudulent means. On the llth
the Committee reported, asking to be discharged
from the further consideration of the subject
which was subsequently, agreed to and Cameron
admitted to his seat. The Committee reported
in favor of taking the evidence in the case OF
Bright and Fitch.
The treaty lately concluded by Mr.. Dallas
with the British Government, in reference to
Central America, was ratified in an amended
form. According to outside rumor the amend
ments are not radical, and it is suggested that
Lord Napier, the new British Minister, may be
clothed with sufficient authority to close the
question. The Sandwich Island treaty was laid
upon the table. The President rejected Mr..
Forsyth's negotiation with Mexico, without send
ing it to the Senate
A large number of appointments to Office were
confirmed during the week. The Hon. S. Me-
dairy, of Ohio, has been appointed Governor OF
Minnesota, and J. P. Anderson, late Delegate
from Washington, Governor Of that Territory,to
succeed Gov. Stevens at the expiration of his
commission.
Mr.. Rush, of Texas, was elected President of
the Senate pro tenn, in order to provide for a
Vice President of the United States in case of
to either Mr. Buchanan or Mr.. Brock
inrdge.
The Senate adjourned sine die on Saturday.

Slavery in Virginia.

The Petersburg Express alludes to the uhuSu-
al number of slaves constantly passing through
that place to the South, and remarks that at the
present rate it will require but ten or twenty
years to clear Virginia of her slave population.
For some years past the natural increase OF ne
groes in the State has very little more IMAM
made up the losses by death and emigration, ana
has been very far from keeping pace WIN tne
increase of white population. The Census OF
1850 exhibits the fact that while the whites III
creased during the ten preceding years IN the "a
tito of fifteen or twenty to every hundred, the
slaves increased only two per cent. The Charles-
ton Mercury lately mentioned this fact, ana eN-
pressed the opinion that the predominance Oh
free labor in Virginia was quite possipie'-
"Wherever the white man Can labor throughout
the year on this continent" says the Mercury
the will ultimately, as things are gong aiS'ouse
the African, and force him to those more congo
NAL fields of labor further South, where ne alone
can benefit the world with tropical productions.
The deduction of the Mercury, that Virginia
and other frontier Southern States cannot be re-
lied mon by the slave South people-the Cotton
States-to aid in resisting anti-slavery encroaci-
ments, is, however, unjust There is bhc
sentiment here in favor of emancl M any
thing of the kind, and If slavery iseTer remover
from the State it will not be the intentional act
of the people, but result brought about by the
operation of an irresistible law of nature
While we may not concur in all the measures
proposed by South Carolina, our people, we are
persuaded. are now better satisfied with the In
stitution as it exists amongst US than they have
ever been before.
But according to the New York Herald some
of the Northern people are about to make sys'
fanatic and serious effort to aboltionize Virgin
ia It is said that the Hon. Mr.. Thayer, leader
of the Kansas emigrant aid Societies, in conjunc-
ton with other enterprising individuals, has re-
solved upon the experiment of q great Emlgranl
Aid Society for the benefit OF Virginia, and will
be down upon us before long with some two
hundred thousand emgrants, without the mig
gers" We had regarded the story as one o.
those "cock and bull" affairs for which the N
Y. Herald is so celebrated; but the leading
newspapers of this State are discussing it IL
dead earnest, and it may be true for all we know
One of our most chivalrous contemporaries takes
on considerably about the matter; he is impa'
tient for the fray, dares Thayer to come on, anc
PROMISES him and his minions Humans halter
and "hospitable graves" We rather hope MIR
Thayer will come, and Notwithstanding the I'M
paraleled irnpudeuce of the scheme we 60 fol
letting him try it. In couple of years time
we have no doubt, every man of the party vii
own darkey, if he can buy or beg one. Wher
was it ever known that Northern men emigra
ting to the South failed to become the most fiery
champions of slavery?

Editorial Convention.

We are gratifed to find that the SOuth-Side
Democrat and Rockingham Register heartily en-
dorse the views we recently expressed in regard
to the proposed Editorial Convention. Our
Petersburg contemporary recommends Richmond
as the place of meeting, but the Valley papers
and others insist upon Staunton. 1t may as
well therefore be understood without further
discussion that the Convention will meet here
on the 18th day of May next. We take it for
granted that the press in Charlottesville, Lex
ington and Harrisonburg will be represented,
and if so we will do something, whether Others
come or not

BATH COUNTY, March 4th, 1857.

Messrs Editors ::-Falsehood and misrepresen-
tation seems to oe the order of the day. Such
is the case in regard to the report that is going
the rounds of the papers, that there has been coal
mine found in this county, near the Bath Alum.
There is not the least foundation for such re-
port and l assume the privilege Of knowing,
having been born and raised within one and a
fourth miles of the place, and also having tried
some of this celebrated coal in the fire and it
proved to be nothing but the common black
slate,
would not have troubled you to contradict
the report, but from the fact that there has been
and is at this time, an effort making from a GER
tain source to get up a land mania for the pur-
pose of palming off parcel Of worthless land on
innocent persons at distance.

KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvENTIoN.-The
Legislature of Kansas at its late session, passed,
in spite of the Governors veto,an act to provide
for the election of Convention to form State
Government. Gov. Geary's objections, briefly
stated, were, first that the act contained no pro-
vision for submitting the constitution, when franz
ed, to the consideration of the people for their
ratification or rejection; and, secondly, that the
territory is not in condition to assume the re-
sponsibilities and sovereignty of State. The
failure to provide for submitting the constitu-
ton, when framed to the people for ratification,
is not only contrary to all precedent, but in dis
regard of that popular sovereignty which has
been SO much lauded of late, and which served
for season, especially in the affairs of Kansas,
to have talismanc influence.

1t will be seen from his card in another COL
umn that John d. Imboden, Esq, for several
sessions past of the efficient representatives
of this Country in the Legislature positively de-
clines to occupy the position OF a candidate for
the office this Spring. Mr.. |. has served his
constituents most acceptably, and his numerous
friends will regret his determination to retire,
We only wish they had it in their power to ele-
vate him to the higher position to which he al

Valuable Seeds,

We invite attention to the advertisement Of
Orange judo, publisher Of the American Agri-
culturist. The Chinese sugar cane is causing q
great stir among farmers throughout the coun-
try. From perfectly reliable information we
learn that it is the best provender for stock ever
cultivated, and has the advantage of fiourishing
in dry seasons when most plants perish. This
is in addition to its other properties which make
it valuable for the manufacture of sugar. Mr..
Judd also proposes to furnish other valuable
seeds, as will be seen from his advertisement.

There were from IS to 100 passengers in the
cars only fifteen of whom were taken from the
wreck alive, and five of these have since died.
fifty corpses, linen, women and children are laid

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LYNcHBURG.-The town
Of Lynchburg appears to be infested by gang
of the most determined incendiaries. The Vir-
ginian records not less than half q dozen incen-
diary attempts in single Issue, all of which,
however, seem to have been unsuccessful except
one, which resulted in o destructive conhagra-
ton on Sunday the 9Th. The fire was discovered
about 10 o'clock in the morning in stable
occupied BY Mr.. Maurice Moore as store house,
which was totally destroyed, together with an
adjoining stable. The tobacco factory of Mr..
Moore was then consumed, with its contents, jim
Guiding about $4,000 worth of tobacco. The
dwelling and smoke house of the same gentle
man next suffered. The tobacco factory of
Moorman & Leftwich, with about 81, 400 worth
of tobacco, followed q beautiful new residence
of Mr.. Henry Lewis was partially destroyed, and
other large buildings were seriously damaged
The loss is supposed to be between $4,000 and
$4,000.

FOURTH OF MARou.-Do our readers gene
rally know the reason why the Fourth of March
was chosen as the day for tho Inauguration OF
the President of the United States? 1t was Sc
lected because the fourth of March in every
year commencing from the first Inauguration,
cannot come on Sunday for at least three hun
dred or more years. This fact shows the re.
gard which tire trainers of our government had
for the Sabbath. They arranged the matter so
wisely that the day for the performance of the
ceremonies of Inauguration will not fall on Sun
day for three hundred years.
The above paragraph is again going the
rounds of the press. If is credited to nobody,
and the author very likely put 1t out as joke
But the newspapers are publishing it with the
utmost gravity, and the public are admiring the
wonderful thoughttulness of the trainers of our
government" and their praseworthy regard for
the Sabbath. Strange it should have been for
gotten so soon that the 4th of March, 1S49,
came on Sunday Gen Taylor was inaugurated
on Monday, the 9th, and the fact of vacancy
in the Presidential Office for q day was general
ly talked about at the time.

THE OCEAN TELEaRAPH.-The last act of Sec
rotary Dobbin, before retiring from office, was
to transmit orders to the Navy Yard at Brook
lyn to fit out at once the United States steamers
Niagara and Mississippi to proceed to England
to assist in laying down the Submarine Tele-
graph cable between Newfoundland and Ire
land. These are the two finest ships in our Ma
wy for the purpose. The Niagara is the largest
steam vessel of war in the world. The Eng
lish Government will furnish also two ships of
the same character. AS soon as the cable is
received on board, the ships will proceed to the
middle of the Atlantic, when the two English
ships will start for Ireland, and the American
for Newfoundland. There will doubtless be
generous rivalry between the officers of the two
naves to see which portion of the cable shall
be laid in the most perfect manner,
The two factories at which the cable is being
manufactured are located at Liverpool and Lon
don. The cable is making at the rate of fifteen
miles per day at each factory, and is expected
to be completed and laid down before the end
of June.
