JEFFERSON AND BERKEIEY.

The following are the proceedings in the
Senate of the United States, In transferring
these two counties from Virginia to West

the people, or the justice of the transfsr.-
But We have written and published enough
on this subject. For the present we turn
from it, with a heart saddened by the pros
pect before our people, and give the Senate
proceedings for what they are worth:
UNITED StatesSenatc; March 9Th.
Mr.. Clark called up the joint resolution to
give the consent of Congress to the annexa-
ton of the counties of Berkeley, and Jeffer-
son, belonging to Virginia, to the State Of
West Virginia.
Mr.. Riddle moved to amend BY adding a
proviso that the question be determined by a
vote of the people of the counties.
Mr.. Clarke said the people of the couu-
ties had already voted in favor of the annex
alton.
Mr.. Riddle said that out of sixteen hundred
votes IN one OF the counties, only thirty voted
There were thirteen hundred voters in the
county now, and out of these twelve hun

ton which he himself presented
Mr.. Clark said it did not appear that there
was any means adopted to prevent full vote
being taken when the vote was taken. The
men who were in the rebel army then ought
not to have vote now.
Mr.. Riddle claimed that many of those
who went wer6 forced.
MIR. CLARK said if that Was so he was anx.
ious to put them into State from which
they would be less apt to be forced into the
rebel army hereafter. Rebels ought to be
thankful enough to be allowed to i've under
the Government, without pretending to con-
troll it.
MIR. Pomeroy asked Mr.. Riddle if he would
accept as an amendment to his proviso that
it be submitted 10 the people without dis
tlnction Of color. ELaughter.]
Mr.. Riddle said he would not.
Mr.. Riddles proviso was not adopted.
The joint resolution was then passed-yeas
80 nays, 5.
Those who voted in the negative were
Messrs. Davis, Guthrie, McDougalI, Riddle
and Salisbury.

VIRGINIA LEGIsLATUBE.-In the Vir.
ginia Legislature, on Friday week, both
Houses agreed upon the report of the COM
mittee of conference on the Stay Law, which
amounts practically to the adoption of the
bill first reported, about two months ago,
staying the collection of debts until 1865
They also agreed upon bill to fund the in
terest or the public debt; and the House
passed the Senate bill, reported some days
ago, to encourage immigration and protect
immigrant labor, one of the leading features
Of which is to compel the-iumigrant to COM
ply with his contract, whether made here or
abroad.
The Usury bill eight per cent? received
its final quietus in the House by an adverse
vote on motion to reconsider-45 to so.
BR1N's FLAG.-On Saturday last, whilst
our torn was in the midst Of excitement on
account of the great johnson endorsement
meeting, vehicle appeared at the eastern
end of town, over which foated the beautiful
green flag of Erin. Ag this vehicle ap-
preached we discovered that this emblem of
1reiand's nationality, was suppoated by some
as gallant spirits as ever cspoused any cause,
all now enthusiastically enlisted in the Fo-
man movement In the party we noticed
Major Quinn, and Messrs. Davies, McGraw
and Kirwan, whose names attest the land of
their nativity. The flag is green field, in
the eentreof which is harp-that harp of
which Moore so sweetb sung
'Dear harp of my country. in silence found thee;
The cold chain Of sorro" had hung DER thee long
Tall proudly, my own Island harp, unbound thee ,
Aud gave thy full chords, to light. frcsdorr and

Nor This TIME--Tlle second snow Of the sea-
son, and the only one which has covered the
ground this winter, fell on Saturday night and
Sunday morning. Early on Sunday morning
there was every appearance of deep snow, but
about 10 clock heavy ram set in, and contin-
ued at intervals through the balance Of the day,
and disSipated all the bright hopes of sleigh bells
and buffalo robes, which haunted the magina-
ton of our lads and lasses. The truth is that in
our climate sleighs are very Improbable stock,
as there is not, on an average more than one
winter in seven when sleighs are really useful.
Almost every winter they are made use of
more Or less, but then it is only because it is the
season of the year when sleighing is expected,
and not because the roads are in condition 10

misfortune of insanity. He willingly accepted of

FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Thursday evening of
last week, Mr.. Stokes, who lived near Aber-
deen in this county, met with an accident near
Perrymansvile, by which he lost his life. 1t ap.
pears that on the evening in question, he was
returning home from Bush River Neck, in
light two-horse wagon and in crossing the p
W., and B, Railroad, about quarter of mile
west of Perrymansv!e, was struck by the en-
CINE of the evening train from Baltimore. The
wagon was struck about the centre of the body
and smashed TO atoms, the seat and cushions of
which were found, on stopping the train, under
the mangled body of Mr.. Stokes, which lay upon
the cow-catcher Mr.. Stokes was German, and
we understand leaves family. Whether he
failed to hear the whistle or thought he had suf-
ficicnt time to cross the road before the train
reached the crossing, is not known, as he was
alone at the time of the accident. The horses
which were attached to the wagon, broke loose
from it at the time of the contact and escaped
injury.

upon the bursting Of the lamp, her

Reynolds, contractor.
Besides the improvements mentioned above,
there are many Others of lesser moment. AT no
time have we known mechanics to be more in
demand in this neighborhood than they have
been the past season. But after ALL there is still
left much room for Improvement in Bel Air, and
we are much inclined to the opinion that if
others who own land adjacentto the townwould
follow the example set by Charles W. Lee, Esq,
and Messrs. Archer & Stump by laying of some
of these lands into lots and sell or lease the
same, that the spirit of building lately sprung
into existence among our people may continue;
and hereafter we would not be called on to men,
ton one year as giving more signs of enterprise
and prosperity than another, SO far, at least, ms
the increase of the town is concerned.

Ha bitual Constipation.
HOW TO EFFECT a CERTAIN AND PER-
MANENT CURE.

Some occupations of life predispose to Costve-
ness, especially those which allow but little exer-
else. Persons who contract this unfortunate
habit Of body, under such circumstances might

hut this is by no means certain. Iiabitual con-
slipation is very obstinate disorder. All the
ordinary sU-Calied remedies invariably aggravate
it. Nothing can be more injurious than the
continued use of strong aperients. They at first
irritatc and finally almost paralyze the bowels
rendering them SO 'orpid that enormous doses of
cathartic medicines have no effect upon them. A
mild upericnt, combined with a gentle stimulant,
is the true remedy; and combination in the
harpeSt proportion, ofthese ingredients, is found
in ilOSTErTERS STOMACH BITTERS. This
famous Somachic invjgorates the whole intesti-
nal canal while quietly removing from its con-
vontions all impediments to a free passage
through them. No mere purgative has this dou-
bc operation. No ordinary stimuant effects the
desired object. Cases of Constipation abandon
ed as hopeless by distinguished medical men have
been cured in q lew weeks by the Bitters. To
those who have tried all the medicines of the dis
peusary in vain, we say try this Irresistible slim
ulant and aperient. There is no sufficient rel-
son why Constipation should be the const qucnce
ofsedentary habits. HOSTETTERS BITTERS,
by supplying the vigor which would otherwise
be derived from exercise, will in all cases enable
the system to perform its cXcrcory functions
regularly and BEAUTIFULLY.
