ENTERPa1sE.-The enterprizing con-
tractor K. Hopkins, Esq. on the mail
route from Weston to Clarksburg, is
about placing on this route an elegant
nine passenger four.horse post>coach,
which will add much to the travel on
this route as passengers can be "put
through" with more ease and greater ex.
pedition. We hope our friend Hopkins
may meet with liberal encouragement.

ed the fall term of his Court for this
county, on Saturday last. after session
of some eight days, during which time the
Judge performed vast deal OF labor, es-

Judge Camden is one of the most labo-
rious Judges in the State. and it is mat
ter of surprise that he is able to wade
through the vast amount Of business
which his district affords. and perhaps
there is no other man in the district that
could. The Judge has a talent peculiar
ly suited TO his profession. free from ev-
cry species of osteutation, he ptesides
with native dignity well calculated to
command the respect and affection OF our
people. We are sorry We have not more
such men among US and if the young
men of our country would but profit by
Judge Camden's example, they, would
be able to serve their country, and leave
an honorable name to posterity. We
have heard his admonitions to the accu-
sed spoken of in the highest terms. - g

Bounty LAND WARRANTs.-Afe few days
ago we noticed that Attorney General
Black had, in answer 10 communication
from secretary Thompson. rendered a de-
cision upon the law OF June 3, 1858,
touching the matter OF the titles TO boun-
ty land warrants. Founded upon the
construction Of the law in this decision.
the general land Office has prepared cir.
cular containing series of instructions
to officers of local land offices, from which
we make the following extracts possessing
general interest. viz:
/. II he tied before the date Of the war
rant, then the name Of his "widoW," il
there be one, should be stated in the cer>
ri6ca'e, and her assignment will be sufi.
cient ia the ordinary form.

pear in the certificate of the probate
court showing The names of the heirs.
and only heirs at law Of the claimant, ma,
ming such as are adnIts and such as are
minors. II all are adults, then their sim.
Pile transfer is all that is required on the
warrant, to which the certificate of this
probate court must be appended; if some,
or all. are minors, they may assign by
their guardians, whose letters of guard
anship should also be appended.
8. II the claimant died after the date OF
the warrant. then the title thereto de-
scends according to the law Of domicl.
In this class OF cases. if the claimant
died iatestote, there should be certificate
from the probate Court, giving The names
of the heirs. and only heirs at law, who i
adults, may assign, as in ordinary casrs
and, if minors, may assign by guar dams
as aforesaid.
If the warrantee died testotc. certified
transcript Of the will should be annexed
with an assignment by the legatees or BY
the executors, where the will does no
specifically dispose OF the warrant; but If
that case transcript of the letters tesla
mentary must accompany the transfer.

testaey the warrant may be assigned By
the administrator Of the descendant, q,
his legal heirs only but the assignment
must be accompanied by certified copy
of the letters Of administration.

Lane Acouitted.

We suppose that most of our readers are
aware that Mr.. Lane. who was charged
with the murder of Gaius Jenkins, at Law
renee, has been acqitted. This result
seems to give to certain persons very un-
pleasant feeling, and they divide their
abuse between Lane and the Justices before
whom be was examined. That the decis-
ion was according to the law and the evil
dence, we do not for moment doubt. We
know there are many persons in the Terri
tory who would have given much to have
seen Lane hung. innocent or guilty. For
our own part, though we do not justify the
killing, and do most heartily despise Lane
morally, politically and socially, yet we
would try him by the same standard that
we would any other person. We also des-
pise those who seek to make political capi
tai out of the affair. There has been too
much said already; and the matter cannot
be mended.
