Obituary.
VIRGIL CAREL.


The family of VIRGIL CAREL has lost their
best friend, his neighbors kind and obliging
man, and the public faithful citizen. In
deed, in all the relations of life, no one was
heard to find fault with Virgil Carel He was
born in France, in July, 1899, came with his
fathers family to Gallipolis in the year 1903,
where he resided up to his death. His mind
was Of no ordinary caste; he was enabled to
comprehend and work out the most difficult
problems in mechanical science; he was the
first inventor of the stern-wheel boats. In
1928 he constructed two miniature engines,
showing that by the application of the power
of the same, the momentum of the wheel
would be carried over the dead points without
requiring a fly wheel; his plans and sug-
gestions were reported to an engineer of some
celebrity, who decided that no great advan-
tage would be gained by the use of two en-
gines instead of one. Virgil Carel not pos
sessing the means required to turn the inven-
ton 90 a profitable account, rather abandoned
the project, and in less than two years some
two or three stern-wheel steamboats, came out,
and since then, ten Of that construction have
been built to one of the side-wheel. His next
great invention was the revised condition of
the fues in the boilers of engines, by which
the fues pass through steam instead of water,
thus converting steam by heat into gas, the
most powerful agent in nature, by which less
fuel and less weight of water would be used,
and producing double the power now en-
ployed in the ordinary mode. His thoughts
and suggestions became ridiculed by many
;sho had not mind to comprehend the magni-
tude and Importance of the views and sugges-
tions advanced by him. Among other i'm
provements suggested, was a plow Of less
weight, and so admirably adapted to turning
over any description of land, that less horse
power was required than Of any other chen in
use. He applied for patent the result was
that it was not granted, as the Commissioner OF
patents decided that it confiicted with one al
ready patented, which, on critical examina-
tiOn by skilful mechanics, was pronounced
unlike the one that his pillow would be in con-
flict with, by which the agricultural eommu-
nifty has lost the advantage of one Of the best
inventions of the age.
His mind was never at rest; he was eontin-
ually engaged in generalizing, and drawing
valuable deductions from every days Obserya-
ton. His views were often so far above the
comprehension of ordinary minds, that he was
ridiculed; but it was those oply possessing a
knowledge in mechanical science that were
benefited by his suggestions, and could pro-
perly appreciate the force Of his thoughts
The world has lost n most valuable 6itizen =
He breathed his last on the 18th day of March
1863, having been the subject Of disease during
the last year of his life. So great were his
domestic virtues, and appreciated, that his
remains were followed to the tomb by an i'm
mense eoncourse of his friends and height bors

The election on Thursday in the
new State OF West Virginia resulted in
tie utmost unanimous ratification Of
the Wiley anti Slavery amendment
to the Constitution. The city of Whee-
ling gave 1875 for to three against the
amendment, and the county will give
a like proportion. The Intelligencer
says that as far as heard from officially
the soldiers vote on the new State is
9,46O for and 99 against the amended
Constitution.

F The following is a significant
paragraph of the Richmond Enquirer's
leader, headed "Sigus in the North
west:"
"Although it is altogether out Of the
question, while the North is eng aged
in a war for our subjugation or extermi-
nation, that we should offer terms Of
alliance, still less listen to any hint
about union with them.
"Yet it is no less true that the
symptoms of disorganization which
show themselves in the present Union
States are of deep interest to us, and
that we ought even to do all that we
honorably and Loyalty may to give fur
ther impulse to the force which promi-
ses at some future time to break up the
league of our enemies"

Eg The Wisconsin Supreme Court
has made three decisions of great i'm
portance. all the Judges concurred
in the decisions. The opinion by JUS
tice Cole, against the application OF
certain drafted men, for writ of ha-
5eos corpus, on the ground that the
law OF Congress, authorizing the draft
of last summer, was unconstitutional,
because attempting to delegate legisla-
tive powers to the President, ably re-
futed this objection, and showed by
numerous authorities. parallel cases,
that the President, by virtue Of the
powers given him in the laws of 1895
and 1862, to collect force to suppress
insurrection, &C., could property make
rules and regulations for detaching
and drafting militia in States where no
laws on the subject existed.
An able opinion was delivered by
Justice Paine, reversing the action Of
the Court of Commissioner Mitchell,
relieving from draft man on a writ Of
hobeds corpus, because not being a
citizen Of the United States, but an
alien by birth, who had declared his
intentions and voted. 1t is shown
that such persons are citizens within
the meaning Of the act of Congress,
and liable to draft. Various auLhori.
ties were quoted, among others the
Dred Scott decision and Marcy's letter
in the Koszta case.
Justice Paine also gave most con.
elusive opinion in favor of the validity
Of the law authorizing soldiers to vote,
showing untenable the constitutions
objections urged against it, and point
ing out how State regulates, in like
manner. many other things outside it:
limits, but affecting its citizens.
