The 10 lowing is the petition OF the 'aTi-
Gus Coal Companies, in reference to sub
scription on the part of the State u the Alex
andria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad.
ToMe General assembly Of Virginia:
The undersigned, your petitioners, res
pec,fully represent TO your honorable bod y,
that they are owners and operators OF the
semi luminous coal lands in the counties
of Hampshire and Hardy, in Virginia, and
in A shany county, Md. That the lands
in the counties aforesaid are chiefly valuable
for their mineral resources; that during the
past year, Notwithstanding the great depres-
sion in business, there has been mined and
delivered from these counties 10 tue Bait
more and OHIO Railroad and the Chesapeake
and OHIO Canal. about six hundred Thousand
tons Ut coal. That the superior aud yaiua-
bic character of this coal for steam aud man
ufacturing purposes continues constantly TO
attract consumers, and that its recent intro
ductlon, 10 this country, into locomotives at d
saving over wood OF seventy per cent, pr
misses to increase a demand which already
exceeds the means Of transportation; that the
Baltimore aud OAo Railroad Company de-
clared that they have now las much OF this
freight as their other traie will permit them
~ handle, with the motive power at their
command;" and that "tne revenue yielded by
il to that road during its last fiscal year, was
81 SO 600"
That your petitioners have q large amount
of capital invested, and are prepared TO fur
nj
have adequate means OF transportation.
Thnt the Alexandra, Loudouu and Hamf-
shire Railroad has been commenced, and Is
in progress Of construction To the Cumbe'-
land coal fields ar Piedmont, and when com
pleted by enabiGg your petitioners to rams
port coal TO Alexandria. at much less cost
tnan to any other shipping port, will at once
secure t. itself an ample revenue.
That this would make Alexandria great
coal depot second only to Philadelphia, and,
as experience proves. that the centres tor
coal and iron, coon become great manuac-
turing centres, Alexandria will in cUnsc-
quence become large manufacturing cry.
And your petitioners respectfully pray that
an appropriation may be made by the State
to assist 10 the completion Of said road.

DepiUrH bio Affair,

A most deplorable affair occurred yester-
day, about four miles beyond Campbell Z.
H., resulting in the death of a citizen of that
vicinity, Mr.. John Jordan, at the hands OF
Mr.. Walter Withers. The particulars as we
gathered them from q gentleman just from
the Court house. are these: Mr.. Jordan and
Mr. Mithers had u misunderstanding in re.
gard to some hay. Yesterday they met in
the road near the house of the latter's moth
er, when a personal reucOntre ensued, grow
ing out OF the former cause. In the scuftie
jordan got Withers down and endeavored to
cut HIM OF the head with pocket knife, but
Withers having on Il fur cap received no ir-
jury from the weapon. Jordan then, it
ems attempted to rise or had risen, when
Wthers drew pistol and shot him. the bail
taking effect in the side and passing deeply
into the body. No one was present at the
difficulty, except q brother of WithCrs, and
little son of Jordan. The wounded man was
removed as soon rs possible, by Withers. TO
neighbor's house. where he died sometime
LAST night. The unfortunate perpetrator Of
the deed gave himse!fup, and is now in Gus
toby. lie asserts that he acted in selfde-

Mr.. SHAW, of Illinois, denounced the LIZ
comptoo Constitution, saying the people OF
Kansas bad no fair opportunity of elecIing
DELEGATES u the Convention which framed It,
and 10 fair opportunity of endOrsinglt 1t. lie
onoted from Gov. Walkers address TO sus-
tain his position, and exclaimed that Con
cre,s was called upon to vote for coustltu-
on not made by the people Of Kansas. =
Where was the man. the world wide, who
would submit for moment TO live under a
law forced upon him, a. this constitution
had been forced upon the people OF that Ter
ritory?
Mr.. SMITH Of Virginia, inquired whether
the people did not have an opportunity 70
y,t, for the delegates u that Convention?
Mr.. SHAW replied that they had had no
such opportunity, and he would refer the
g=ntlem III 10 authority which he was not
prepared To dspute-the letter Of Governor
Walker.
Mr.. SMITH said there were nineteen coun-
ties, fifteen of which were annexed to organ
led counties, and of the four others that
were organized they refused TO be enrolled,
and drove out the sheriff by violence. Fit
teen counties had no population, and were
attached to organized counties, 10 the four
counties not 50 annexed these very abolition
lists refused to allow the law TO be executed,
aud now make this the pretext for their
harapgues.
Mr.. SHAW said be endorsed the Governor
Of the Territory. and, a, the gen'leman had
made question of veracty between himself
aud Gov. Walker, be would leave it to the
intelligence Of the House to decide which
was right.
Mr. SMITH said there was no question OF
veracity. The statement made by the gen.
tleman was Incompatible with his.
Mr.. SHAW declined q further controversy,
md continued to oppose the Lecompton Con
stitutIon.

A Good Joke, but Foul sIandor.

The following good one is related OF the
mate, Of one of the Wheeling and Pittsburg
packets. The boat was lying up at the town
of Liverpool on her downward trip, when
the freight was being transferred to the wharf
boat. All had been removed but one barrel,
which the mate ordered to be rolled in the
wharf boat. Just then the captain, passing
to the hurriance deck, heard the order,
countermanded it, and said that barrel was
for WellsviIle. The mate cooking bis SIMS
