sgPride is as loud beggar as want,
aud great deal more saucy. When
you have bought one fine thing you want
ten more, that your appearance may be
all of a piece; but it is easier TO sup
press the first desire than to satisfy all
that follow it. Pride has broken many a
heart.

EA lot Of prisoners from Kanawha
arrived in town on Sunday last. among
which were II secesh. 8 Federal de-
serters, and one private of the Cd Va.
Cavalry. The latter is young lady
by name of Jenny Prater, formerly
from Lawrence county. Jenny is quite
a character, fair as rose, plump as
partridge, and is smoking and swearing
fully the equal to any trooper in the
army. She claims to be from Law
renee county, which is doubtless true.
as Lawrence has set out in proportion
to population, greater number OF
volunteers than any other county in the
State, females included.
They need not be ashamed of Jenny
as a soldier, for verify she is some on
muscle, and any lemons going IN may
"kinder kalkulate" to get squeezed-so
she says, snd her appearance indicates
il.

NFrOn all sections Of the country

~FroH all sections Of the country
we hear of tremendous snow storms
and intensely cold weather. II viii
hardly be credited that in Gnllis county
ue did not have over half an inch Of
snow, or ground frozen to the depth OF
three inches. Thus far we have had
little or no cold weather. Gallipolis is
certainly highly favored in point Of eli
mate. Even far south Of US the snow
fell to the depth of ls inches. At Gin
cinnati "a inches, at New Haven, Ken.
tueky, l6 inches. Yet in Gallipolis
the ground was barely whitened.
To-day, Tuesday it is raining stead
lily, and the river getting up to fear
full height--to be still further increased
by melting of the snow in the Noun
tains. The anxiously looked for rise is
on hand, although some damage may be
done by it along the low bottoms; still
the advantage to trade and commerce
will be very great. If our Pomeroy
neighbors are obliged by high water to
vacate the lower stories of their dwell
liDgs, the facilities for shipping coal
will greatly overbalance the little in
convenience of travelling through their
town in skiffs. and Passing in and out Of
I'd story windows.

@T They have peace rumors in abun-
dance at Richmond. The Examiner
says: - -
Every other man you meet Is choet
full Of peace. Peace In sixty days is
the cry Of all Of them. The disaIec-
tion Of the Eorthwest-lhe discord in
the North. the inability to raise anoth-
er army, enter into all these visionary
speculalions. That they are visionary
we believe; that they may prove disas-
trous to us, If we place action upon
them. we know. Not many believed
the Yankees were SO stupid and blind to
their own interest as to go to war at
all. Oar own Government shared in
this delusion, which came very near
proving our ruin. A like delusion
now may be attended with like disas.
trous results. That there are many
people at the North tired Of the war is
doubtless true. but a vast number there
have made, and are still making money
by jobs and contracts, and they fancy
II their interest to prolong the contest.
And those who most affect peace, are
they Who have not been resping the
spoils-and if they can manage to get
their hands into the crib, may be as
bositerous for war as any Of their coun.
trymen. Besides, we have never seen
any of the peace party there profess q
willingness for peace on any terms COM
patible With our safety and honor. A
restoration of the Union and eontinu'
ance Of our commercial and political
vassalage TO the North is sine qua non
with all these gentlemen.
I'VE have no objection to any Con-
vention which the Yankees NAV hold,
but we would warn our countrymer
against expecting anything good for
them from any of its labors. Oul
safety consists in redoubling our efforts
for more vigorous prosecution OF the
war than ever. That Is the surest, the
only sure means for speedy peace
A few more massacres like that o.
Fredericksburg, but follow up by reap
ing the legitimate fruits-wiIl do more
than all Peace Conventions for the es'
tablishment Of Peace"

R0ur worthy Representative, Jo-
sEPH BRADBURY, introduced into the
House few days since the following
resolutions warmly endorsing the Presi-
dents Proclamation as Uar measure.
Highly creditable to Mr.. BRADBURY in
thus boldly avowing what every honest
man knows to be rigbt--but alas! too
many fear to advocate. Choosing rath-
er 10 stand tsmely by and suffer the
minions of JEFF DAVIS in Northern
Legislative Halls, to abuse and vilify
the President for doing that, which his
tory will proclaim to future genera
tions OF mankind, was well and right
ly done. Old Gallia may be proud of
her Representative. He has done his
duty TO his constituents, and to his
country. When men all over the land
are basely striving to weaken the ad-
ministration, and destroy the confidence
of the people in the stability of our Gov
ernment. it gives us unqualified plea
sure to find one man at least honest
enough to sustain the President and en-
courage him in his terrible task Of
sustaining Government against the vile
treacheries of internal foes--claiming
to be loyal. yet more dangerous than
those in open rebellion.
"Be it enacted by the General AS.
sembly of the State of Ohio,
"lst. That in the opinion Of this
General Assembly, the Proclamation ol
the President of the United States, oI
January /, 1853, is clearly within the
war power granted by the Constitution.
That the safety and unity of the Nation.
al Government require that the mea.
sures proposed in said Proclamation
should be carried into effect in all the
territory included therein at as early g
day as possible. and to this end we
pledge the earnest corporation of the
State of Ohio.
"2d. That the Governor of this State
be requested to transmit copy o
these resolutions to the President OF th,
United States, and to each Of ou
Senators, and Representatives in Con
gress."

DARING ROBBERY "A bold robbery
was perpetrated about six o'clock last
evening at the jewelry establishment Of
Messrs. Kits & Verne, on Main street,
between Fourth & Fifth An indiVid-
ual entered the store about that hour

Mr.. Jos Verne waited upon him. and
took from the showcase a casket Of
costly iewelry, amounting in value to
four or FIVE thousand dollars. While
the shop keeper and customer we're thus
engaged, third party entered. threw a
quantity Of snuff into Mr.. Werne's
ewes, seized the box containing the Jew
elry, and escaped. The thief ran up
the alley between Messrs. Quigley &
Morton's Bank and the Ormsby House,
into which alley be threw the box. and
in his hurry. left two or three valuable
rings in the casket. Neither the IN
dividual who pretended to wish to make

the snuff into Mr.. Werne's ewes had
been arrested at late hour last night.

TOrAL PRoDUCTIoN OF WooL.-The
total amount Of wool produced in the
United States during the year 1850
was 60.5lI.343, being an increase Of
eight million pounds during the ten
years, while the returns prove that
woolen manufactures have increased
fifty-one per cent, showing thai the in
crease in our production falls far below
the increased demand for manufactu-
ring purposes. The total amount of
wool manufactured into cloths in the
United States in 1860 was 8O,386. 572
pounds, showing that our wants ex-
ceeded our supply by over thirty per
cent, a balance which had to be made
up by importation.
In this respect it will be seen what
an immense advantage the Southern
States have over the Northern in the
production Of their raw fabrics, for
while the North produces only three
four;hs OF the wool that is used, the
South produces over FIVE times the
amount Of cotton that is consumed in
the United States. Nearly all Of our
woollen manufactures are at the East.
New England has over half Of the cap
ital thus employed in the whole coun-
try, and Massachusetts alone has near
" one-third. The West has yet done
but little in manufacturing, not tithe
Of what should, and we believe, what
will eventually be done Michigan has
but twenty woolIen manufactures with
in her borders, and those on a small
scale, with total capital of but $780,
500 and consuming but 995, 100 pounds
annually.
