B8FoR the past three or four evenings
numbers of abandoned women of the town
have applied to the various Aldermen and
asked to be committed to jail, having no
place wherein to lay their heads. There
is an Ordiuapce of the city which makes it
the duty of policemen to arrest all lewd
women found upon the streets after night
fall and in most cases the women do not
object for they can scarcely find more
comfortable place to lodge.

most convincing arguments that can be
made in favor of separate State Govern
ment for Western Virginia. tits an argu-

that comes home to every man, and we ask
every one TO read it if he has not read it

less it would cost, how much less taxation
it would take, for the people of West Viz

WARP
In your speech at the Court House, at
the Goggin and Wiley meeting, in Februa-
ry, 1859, think it was, you stated that the
resolutions offered at that meeting did not
suit you; that they did not embody enough
of pure Anleric0nism that you feared they
were trucking to an element you despised;
that a "father who would put his iuiant
son into an iron cage, three feet long by
eighteen inches in width, might as we'll ex-
pect that sou to come forth from his cage at
the age of 81 fully developed and perfect

nay THE prisoner who jumped from the
train of cars 10 Broad Tree Tunnel on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on Friday
morning, was not rebel as stated by us.
His name was James Clayton. He belonged
to the llth Virginia Infantry, and was ar
rested nearly year ago at Spencer for the
murder of comrade. When the town of
Spencer was surrendered to tho rebel Jenk.
ius Clayton was released, but was after
wards re-arrested and sent to this city. He
remained in confinement at the Athanpum
in this city for several weeks, during most
of which time he played crazy. Not long
ago he was sent to Clarksburgh to be tried
for desertiOn and murder, but his case wac
not disposed of and he was on his return
here in charge of guard at the time be
made his escape. AS before stated the
train was passing through the tunnel at the
rate of about fifteen miles per hour, aud
taking advantage of the darkness, he raised
the window of the car and jumped out at
the Imminent risk of meeting a terrible
death. The country for five or six miles in
the vicinity of the Tunnel was thoroughly
searched on Friday and Saturday, but
nothing could be heard of the prisoner.

BBTHE CITIzBNs' RAIbwAY.-The Com
missioners appointed by the charter of the
Citizens Passenger Railway, recently
passed by the Legislature, advertise that
on the fourth of March next they will open
the subscription books of the corporation.
From present indications there appears to
be little doubt that a sufficient amount of
stock will be subscribed to put the road in
operation. AS is the case with all enter
prises, various opinions are entertained
in regard to the proposed road. Some
think it will be paying institution, and
some are disposed to doubt it's practicable
ity. One thing is certain, that in long,
Z lean city like ours, it will be vast: conve-
nieuce, and the great mass of our citizens
are decidedly in favor of the project. The
road will be entitled to carry freight and
parcels of all descriptions The compile
, ton of the road will more closely connect
the towns of South wheeling, Bridgeport,
Martinsville, and Wheeling, which is some
thing that has long been desired.
