GOVERNOR CHASE recommends. that
the State Treasurer select repositories"
for the receiving of the public money
these ttdepositories" to be "under suitable
guards and restrictions" Fancy such
men as Gibson, Bres.in and Bliss acting
under. the recommendation! What kind
of repositories would they select? What
would the guards and restrictions amount
to? This recommendation of the Cover
nor is designed to place the money of the
State into the hands of the State Treas
urer, in order that it may be loaned out
to personal and political friends. It
would lead directly to defalcation and
stealing!

lR- The. man found dead near Sup
pers, school house, as noticed by us last
week, was an elderly man named Barney
Brailsford. He had started to mill with
his grain on his. back, in company with
his son. He sat down or q stump to rest
himself, and bis son went IN. In q short
time afterward he was found by some
school children. lying by the side of the
stump, dead. No marks of violence were
found upon his person, and it is probable
that his death was caused by habitual in.
t~oxication.

SpEAKING about the cry of disunion, and
the aching tendency of some people to
kick up a muss generally, the Nashville
Patriot remarks:
1.-THE Onion of the States. is not a
thing to be triaed with, and those who
advocate its dissolution ought to have
their heads broken, or their necks; it
doesn't matter which.
what bust this glorious country up!
Accused be thy tongue.-
Her stars and stripes shall float the skies
Long after you are hung!"

CLARlNGTON, w., Jan. 9th, 1850.
Mr.. EDIroR-The citizens of our vii
lage were much surprised yesterday morn.
Ing to learn that the Wheeling packet
Ingomar, had been carried away from the
landing by the ice which started about
midnight, but soon discovered that the
ice had stopped and that she lay about
one-half a mile below on the Virginia
side, laying quartering out from, and her
head toward that shore. There being but
o S Thomas, Waterman, and Joseph
Romie, cabin boy, aboard. Soon the
crew and q considerable number more of
citizens succeeded in crossing the river
and in connection with several of our
Virginia %neighbors, succeeded after a hard
aud perilous days work, in freeing Der
from the ice and getting her head pointed
towards the landing she had left, and by
the power of steam, going ahead as long
as the ice would give way, and then back
ing and taking a run continued; sometimes
having to relieve her by cutting her loose,
succeeded about dark in landing her safe
in her former mooring. amidst the ap-
plause of the citizens and the sound of her
whistle. Those not acquainted with the
hazard or risk in steamboat property
can see to o limited extent the trouble and
risk those run who invest in the enter
prise. We volunteer in behalf of the ow-
ners in rendering their thanks to those
from whom they have received assistance;
and recommend to the travelling commu.
nifty the Ingomar and her gentlemanly and
worthy officers and crew.
