The Location OF thc CapItaI--wnl 1t
build nm n CITY?


In the discussion respecting the loca-
ton of the State Capital, which has been
progressing for some time we have had
little to say, and that little has been
rather sportive than otherwise; but
some of our country exchanges, indulge
theories so eNtrnvagant and impractical
BILE, that we feel constrained to suggest
some little matters of fact which seem to
us worthy of their consideration. It
will be better for them to abandon the
rose-tinted regions of the fanciful and
como down to the actual and practical
now, than to be brought down by force
OF circumstances hereafter.
They tell us that the location of the
State Capital at some point in the inte-
rior, say Buckhannon, will speedily
build up great city, will bring rail-
ways from distant points, and will de-
velope and enrich not only the imme-
diately surrounding country but the
whole State. These are great achieve
ments. tits barely possible our friends
talk rather glibly of them, because it is
so easy 10 do great things on paper. To
build up great inland city, to connect
it with the outer world by long lines of
costly railways, TO develope the natural
wealth ola state such as ours and en-
rich its people, is indeed stupendous
work. Is it really practicable to ac-
comPlish it so readily and by such easi-
ly commanded means as proposedH
In anything We may say on this sub
ject, we first say explicitly that we have
no preference for or hostility to any
particular point outside of this city,
The majority of our exchanges favOring
Buckhunnon, let us consider the effect
officiating the Capital at that point land
it would be the samea at any similar one, f,
Buckhannon is pleasant little village
ofabout 500 or 1000 souls, IS miles from
the Parkersburg Branch Railroad, by
mud turnpike-the capital OF Upshur
county and has we believe two
or three hotels Formerly styled
tlvernsl as good we suppose as
similar establishments in other viii
lagos throughout the State, We believe
some patriotic gentleman or gentlemen
propose to donate the grounds for the
public buildings. Even if the State
BAYS them, the price for u few acres will
not be large and it will go into one
pocket or two OF three At most. There
can be no question that the State prison
will be built in or near this city or Par-
kersburg. The reasons for IL are toe
obvious to permit any doubt on that

half inches thick in the most exposed
Sides and elsewhere about four inches.
In the forward turret there are three
ports, one directly in front and one on
either side. 1t contains a splendid 300
FOUNDER Armstrong rifled gun, which
rests on mahogany carriage, running
on circular back so that the gun can
be trained to eitherof the ports. In the
after turrets there are four ports, two
on the quarters, and it contains two 20
Founders of the same construction as
the other and similarly mounted. The
first mentioned has a bore about ten
inches III diameter, and the two latter
about six inches.
The beak is heavily armored, and
pointed with sharp and heavy piece of
solid steel that would penetrate almost
any substance against which it might
be driven: 1t slopes gradually, and
with slight curve, from the top of the
forward turret to the point, the latter
being about seven feet below the surface
OF the water. Itslength from a perpen-
dlculnr line dropped from the slope is
thirty-hye feet. 1t is, indeed, most
foEmidably offensive weapon.
Inc vessel has two powerful engines,
TWO screws, and two rudders, and at her
stern presents the appearance OF two
vessels united together. On the way
from Havana she made as much as ten
knots an hour in smooth water, with a
pressure of twenty pounds of steam
and without using sail. She obeys the
helm readily, and could thus have been
advantageously handled in action; and,
although there was considerable rough
weather on the passage, she proved her
self an excellent sailor, rolling but lit
tie, and behaving herself finely in every
respect. Her complement of men
under the rebel commander was seven
ty.
Naval officers who have been aboard
of her and examined her construction,
say that she would be an exceedingly
formidable adversary. She mightsteam
directly up toward the broad side OF a
vessel with fair chance of escaping
without getting struck; and even II her
turrets and everything above water
should be knocked to pieces the only
effect would be to disable her guns,
leaving her still competent to rush on
and drive her back through the unpro-
tected sides Of her Antagonist below the
water line.
