THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA.


Mr.. Wickham expresses a very strong de-
sire, accompanied by a hope, that the State
may be restored with its original limits or,
in other words, that the State Of West Yir-
ginia may lose its existence, or be merged
in the old State. i propose, now, TO exam
inc this question candidly, in the light OF
ackno wledged facts, that we may see what
this would involve, and what we may reason
ably expect ia relation to it. / said IN my
last letter, that the State OF West Virginia
was the child of the restored government.
IL does not owe its existence 10 any revolu-
tionary measure, but is q legitimate produc
ton, having had its origin in accordance
with the constitutional provisions for making
q new State out of a portion Of an existing
State-tne consent Of the Legislature of
Virginia having been first procured-the
vote Of the people taken on its formation,
and a decided majority found TO be in Iavor
Of the measure; the calling Of a convention
TO form a constitution for the proposed new
State; the adoption Of that constitution
when formed By the people; and finally, the
admission Of the State iutO the Union upon
the presentation of that constitution, and
application to Congress for admission; thus
fulfilling all the requirements Of the cOnsti-
tuition, and making its creation an entirely
regular and legal proceeding. Again, IL
must be remembered that this proposition
has received the assent Of every department
Of the Federal Government. IL received
the Executive assent in the acknowledgment

XXI CHAPTER.

At special meeting ii this Chlpter, the fol.
lowing resolutions were IN lnimously adopted
Whereas, We have received the ID announce.
ment of the death Of our honored brother M jor
JAMES n. DANDY who fell, at the capture OF
Fort Gregg, on tue second Of April in cvnmsnd
OF his regiment tae Doth n. Y, while lanting,
IN person, his victorious lag upon the tronghoId
he had conquered, therefore,

our esteemed brother to the common cause of
God and humanIy-in his generous fidelity TO

Consistent morality and genial social qualities,

TIE VIRGINIA RAILRoADs.-From special
orders No. 10, issued by Major General
Halleck, it will be seen that all railroads in
the Department of Virginia, when no longer
required for military purposes, will, with
their rolling stock, material, and machinery,
be turned over to the officers of their respec-
tiYe companies, provided that such officers
having control Of the railroads, have taken
the oath of allegiance to the United States.
But such delivery will not prevent the for
feiture of any stock In said companies which
may be owned by persons who do not come
within the provisions of the amnesty pro.

The TUITION OF THE YOUYG.-Since our
reference to the subject of schools, some
days since, We have been in receipt Of sew
eral communications on the subject, advo-
eating an increase in the number of schools,
| both public and private. One signed "IV.
K.," IN whom we recognize a public spirit
! ed official of one Of the military depart
| ments OF the city, puts forward some good
| suggestions which are worthy Of notice at
this time. The writer clai ms that the pres
ent number Of schools in existence is made
quate to the wants of the community, and
| calls on the citizens, now that quiet is re
| stored, to give their attention to the sub
ject. The streets swarm with children
growing up in habits Of vice and idleness.
who ought to be gathered into private
schools. Before the CT il authorities can
organize, and set in motion a syste IN of free
schools wherein every child can obtain
good English education, the summer or the
year may be past. In every part of the
city there are intelligent men aad women
who desire employment. Our correspondent
suggests that such Of them as feel disposed
be allowed to open schools for the instrlc
tion of the rising generation. Though the
patrons may see no way Of Immediately pay
Ing the tuition fee, before the quarter, or at
least the summer is past, they will all be
able to meet the expense finally.
The teachers will be working for the pub
lie, and though not lucratively employed,
they will be earning something. An enter
prising person. male or female, who has a
talent for teaching "young ideas how to
shoot" can hope for no better opportunity
than is now presented in Richmond for open
ing a select school, which in n short time
could be made both successful and profita
bic. Our correspondent, furthermore feels
assured that the military authorities would
extend to such enterprises every induce
ment and facility. The success and perpe.
tuity of our Government and its free insti.
tutions depend upon the morality and intel
ligence of the people and their descendants,
and these objects can be promoted IN no
better way than by a liberal system of edu-
cation.
We leave the subject with pa ents and
guardians, aud trust that every public-spir-
tied and patriotic citizen who can, will de-
vote some portion of his time to the advance
ment of the subject. The duties of the hour
are imperative, and cannot be delegated or
delayed. We hope, by liberal education
of public sentiment, soon to see established
in Richmond public educational system,
which is the pride and boast of all the larger
cities of the Northern States. The trite
quotation is not inapplicable:
"'Tis education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent the tree s in
cined."

FISHING TAckLE.-It is a little singular
hat everybody who runs cargo of goods
into Richmond should remember the wants
of every class except that large and respect
able fraternity, who, being disciples of Isaac
Walton, are daily engaged in dropping lines
o the 6nny tribes of the James. If there
is a fishing hook or line for sale In Rich
mond We have yet to find out the place, and
we can count many disciples who would like
to know,

LIME.-No article that enters into the
sanitary regulations of the city is more
prcssingly needed just now than lime. 1t is
wanted not only as a purifier, but for build.
ing and whitewashing purposes. Not q
bushel was to be had in the city yesterday,
and some was bought in the country at six
dollars per barrel. A cargo of lime would
be one of the most acceptable importatious
that could be made at this time, aud we will
undertake to insure the importer ready
sale at good profit.

STILL ANOTHER LINE OF STEAMERS FOR
RICHMoSD.-We understand that the Rich
mond and Baltimore Line OF Steamers,
which, before the war, piled between this
port and Baltimore, will shortly resume
regular trips. Mr.. Brandt, of Baltimore, is
President of the Line, with the old Board of
Directors. The Company has now new
steamer building, and it will be afoat In a
short time. me steamers Belvidere and
Peabody were favorite boats upon this line
before the rebellion diverted them to the
uses of war. The necessary permission for
the resumption of the business of this line
has been obtained from the department at
Washington.

MoseRRL BurLDINGs.-We have decided
objection to the style and architecture Of
some of the buildings now going up in the
city on N ain and other streets-th I'd lumber,
third brick, and third canvass. They are be-
ing put up. we know, by temporary resi-
dents, for a temporary purpose; but we,
nevertheless, object to them, because they
disfgure the town, and invite conaagra-
tions. What we want is substantial edi-
fees, that will adorn the city as we'll as
subserve a good purpose.

"TsE RosBrR's RkrsrAF."--Thls Is the
euphoneous appellation given by the ne
sroes to the locality originally known as
Navy. Hill, out Fifth street, beyond
Leigh street. Robberies Of colored people
going home of an evening have been Of al
most nightly occurrence here since the &C.
cupation OF the city. The perpetrators are
believed to be gang of desperadoes who
escaped from the Penitentiary. They
make predatory tours ~ the Valley and
to Navy Hill every night, and under
the pretence Of being members of the
guard, stop and demand the pass OF the
colored people, winding up generally by
knocking them in the head, and robbing
them of whatever of valuo they happen to
have about them. A military guard has
recently been thrown out in that direction,
but the highwaymen fall back as they ap-
proach, and manage to keep out of their ju
risdiction.
