MAEg tales are told Of individual cases Of hero
ism among troops at tho terrible battle Of Fort
Donelson but we have heard of no greater hero
than John Agnew, aged nineteen years, young
lad of Pike county illinois, who was in company q,
of the Illinois Eighth. On Friday OF the battle, he
was severely wounded in the left breast by par
tally spent ball, and was ordered back ~ report
himself to the Surgeon. lie found the Surgeon
very busy with the wounded, and concluded to doc
tor himself. On examing his breast, he found the
ball lodged under the skin, and quickly drawing his
knife extracted il. Then, remarking that he was
not much hurt, said be guessed he would go back
and give the rebels another trial. Picking up O
musket from ono of tho slain, he advanced in front
of the line of his company, and fired. The next
instant he received sAllm the forehead, and drop
ped dead upon the fcld Such are the young he
rocs whose lives arc SO freely given 10 the cause Of
otir country,

NEW STATE IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.

THE Convention, composed oil Delegates
from the counties of Western Virginia
having completed the draft of Consultation,
has finally adjourned, The Constitution is
to bc submitted to vote of the people, on
the 3lst of April next. If the people adopt
the Constitution. even then the new state
will not lie fixed fact. Governor Pierpont
is not siml ly Governor of Western Virginia
but of all Virginia. Senators Wiley and
Carlisle do not represent part, but the
whole Of the State of Virginia There has
been no recognition of amy new State OF
Kanawha or Western Virginia. New officers
and Representatives Of Virginia have been
recognized in the place of those formally
held by traitors and rebels. The questions
as to whether State can be divided, is yet
to be determined in some authoritive
manner. As yet it is an OPEN question
When that question is settled, the character
of the new State applying for admission, is
to be considered by Congress. Anew State
carved out of Western Virginia, with sla-
very attached, in any form, would be no de.
sirabe acquisition. No such State ought
to he admitted into the Union. One Virginia
with slavery attached, is quite sufficient.

WE think the lcsees of Canals of this State are
entitled TO credit for sagacy, at least, in the ef-
cent measures they adopting for putting those
works in good order for business Whatever diff
ference of opinion may have existed 10 the policy
of leasing the Canals, it is clearly tor the interest
of all that they should be in good condition, and
made as servicablc To the public as possible. II
the lessees make the more money by such fore
sight, it will only be their due. Certainly, it is not
for the interest Of the State that these works should
dcprcciatc in value or usefulness, while in their
present hands.
The Columbus journal says the lessees now have
about three thousand aborcrs engaged in " bottom
ing out the Canals that is, they are cleaning out
the washings and filth that has been accommodating
in the bottom of the Canals for years This mud
aud sediment has long been great detrimcnt to the
boatmen, it having narrowed the channel so much
IN places that it was almost impossible for boats to
pass each other without grounding. The .washngs
have been such rs IN leave hut narrow channel in
the CENTER the sides being filed so that in places it
resembles a letter more than anything else. The
Canals are now being brought back to their orig-
nal dimensions - 26 feet of bottom and 60 feet OF
water surface, thus giving ample room for both
horse boats an steamers and we understand that
the latter class will be generally adopted. By
the use Of steam on the Canals they will receive
their appropriate share of the transportation of the
country tho horse IS too slow vehicle for this
age of railroads and telegraphs. - Blade.
