The Union Movement.

The Union Party is still stirring the poht-
ieal elements and drawing into its circle the
dissatisfied Of other parties. Its last meeting
was recently held at Boston, under the name
Of the Constitutional Union Convention"
Conservative resolutions were passed, and
delegates elected to the Baltimore Conven-
ton.
1t is asserted that this Union party is like
ly to prove power ip the land, and partic-
ulary SO if stephen A. Douglas is not the
nominee of the Charleston Convention. Thou
sands of Democrats have declared their in
tention, it is said. to support no man for the
Presidency who is not sound on the question
of Popular Sovereignty. We confess we do
not see how Popular Sovereignty Democrats
are going to sustain the Union party nominee,
in view Of the present prospects. The car
dinal principle of the Southern Opposition to
the Democracy is one which out Herods the
Herod of Lecomptonism itself in its devotion
to a Slave Code, for the Southern opposition
seems to furnish the leaders in the Union
movement. However. time may change the
aspect of affairs, and a platform may be pre-
sented upon which Popular Sovereignty
Democrats if disgusted with the action OF
the Charleston Convention, could stand.

rTA NIcnT ADvENTuRE.-On Friday
nigbt last, officers Hawley and scroggins
ohsoryed two suspicious parties sneakiug
oIorr the streets and accomplishing differ
~ nriyate residences. The officers fol-
,ows5 at = respectable distance and dis
.oyered the suspicious parties to be John
Rr,Ier and Little "Ornary" Jack Allison,
who went skiting through the streets and
dark alleys like weasels in barn yard
They tried several doors and windows
without success, aud the officers gave
them wide birth. At last Jack and his
mariner, made hurried turn and came
straight towards HawleY. who not wishing
10 be discovered, fonpcd down on the
street and pretended TO be very drunk
He was approached, rolled over once or
twice and requested to get up, which he
did not do, of course, but still affected
beastIy state of intoxicatlon, saying in
spluttering and muudlin manner, that he
had money in his pocket and desired to
treat Little Jack after feeling the suppo-
sed drunkard's pockets and trying to pull
off his shoes, left in disgust, but Butler,
being of speculative turn of mind, con-
cluded to trade hats with the PROSTATE
subject, and was making off with fine
new tile, when the officer got up and grab
bed him by the napc of the neck and led
him off to Aid. Dulty's, whence he was
committed to Jail. Little Jack made him
self exceedingly scarce during the night,
but was apprchended the next morning
and sent up to join his partner. During
the examination on Saturday morning,
Buffers wife and child, poor starved, mis-
cradle creatures. appeared at the Alder
mans Office and wept over the degraded
father in 81 most affecting and seemingly
heartfelt manner.

rSyaBALL PLAY1SG-Th rapid approach
of the season for engaging in this healthy
and manly pastime, warrants brief no
,ice of passing events connected with ball
playing. The fact is, we all, more or less,
devote too much of our time and energies
10 our offices, desks and counters, and pay
far too little attention to the recreation of
BODY and mind, that nature absolutely re-
ouircs to preserve health, and therefore
grow weak and dyspepsia, and ultimately
all the train of evils that follow neglect
of the proper recreation for the physical
nature come miscrably to effect our spirits,
and dislort our views of men and things
around them. Exercise, to be beneficial,
should be attractive, and to certain ex-
tent exciting and we know OF no other
sport as free from Objectionable features,
and at the same time more attractive or
exciting than the manly games OF ball;
and we think it would be an addition TO
our schools, public aud private, that would
lead to beneficial results morally and physic-
ally, if each had ball club attached to it.
What admirable practical lessons in dis
cipline and good behavior might be i'm
parted by the teachers of our schools,
every Saturday afternoon, if they would
only organize ball club among their
scholars, and accompany the players to
the field, and there guide and admonish
them as occasion might require; it would
be q recreation to both teachers and schol-
arS, and alike beneficial to both.

R9~QX WEDNESDAY last, the 28th inst,
the eastern bound way train ran over
man named Coleman WEIGH, between
C'arksburg and Bridgeport, on the N. W.
Va. Railroad, cutting off one leg below the
knee and crushing the foot of the other
SO badly it is supposed it will have to be
amputated. No blame is attached to the
officers of the train, as they did not know
he was on board. 1t is supposed he got
on at Clarksburg, intending to get off at
lAs1"Fge tressles near Bridgeport, know
ing the trains pass slowly over them, and
when he jumped fell on the track. An
other warning against the practice of at
tempting to get on or off trains while in
motion.

Egg THE ALARM OF FIRE on Saturday
morning was caused by the burning of tue
roof over the house of Mr.. Henry Echols,
III Centre Wheeling. The fire was caused
by sparks from the chimney. The wind
was blowing a pretty strong gale, and had
the FIRE not been discovered Immediately
upon its breaking out and line of buck
cts formed from the various hydrants in
the vicinity, the whole house must have
been destroyed. AS it was there was not
much damage done. During these windy
days householders should take extraordinary
precaution to guard against fire, for if old
ConAagration gets to tapping his rcd wings
around among some of orr frame houses
he will not be SO easily subducd, with a
reckless wind to back him up and roar him
on.
