selves by ocular demonstration the root
Of all evil {; and the Democrats seem to
our homsspuu fancy much like flock OF

them. The rreat National Union party
presents itself 10 our ,naginations as
something that might be the thing We
want but don't know where TO fnd it.

Ii the elective franchise is worth having
or worth exercising, it is certainly
worth the time and trouble that a visit

his name 10 be upon the lists, put III an
appearance before the Registrar to-day,
and stay i'll the official presence until

BAprIsM.-On Sunday last, large
number of our citizens assembled at
the steamboat landing, to witness the
baptism by immersion, of some eight or
nine of our colored "citizens" of the
Baptist persuasion. About one hun
dred of these citizens went In process
sion from the place of worship, to the
water-side, and there the candidates for
immersion "went into the water. Ev-

The application of Samuel A. Miller,
to be admitted to practice law without
taking the "iron-clad," was heard be-
fore Judge John l.. Hindman at the
recent term of the Cabell county Cir

argument, Judge Hindman said: 1.-The
Court will withheld its final decision
for the present, but in the meantime
permit the applicant, who heretofore
practiced in the Circuit Court of this
county, to qualify, on his motion. 1t
ia therefore ordered that the appli-
cant be admitted to practice as an at

oath to support the Constitution of the

Another Acqsisities.

As NAV be seen by reference to our
,elegraphic columns, this mighty and
model Republic is abont to enlarge it's
limits. BY treaty with the Car ofRus-
sia. We are about to acquire that very
frigid and very snowy section OF this
continent. which is known - Russian
America. q section which seems to have
incurred the displeasure Of Providence
in some terrible manner, since, in addi-
lion TO unproductiveness of soil, rigor
of climate, and the general desolation
of its snow fields and ice-bergs, it must
he eursed with the calamities of black
Republican government. Russia was
thought to be approaching liberality in
her policy, domestic as we'll "a foreign.
The abolition of serfdom, aud other
measures inaugurated for the heneht OF
the lower classes Of her people, were
regarded as eyidencing relaxation OF
tha, absolutism and rigOr which have
heretofore ,uarked her government. The
impression OF her adoption of liberal
ideas will now be Obliterated entirely.
No more merciless aad barbarous cru
city could le devised than the cession
of Russian territory to the United
States 1t will he regarded as an act
ofdeliberate wantonness, and will not
only ruin whatever of reputation for
liberality Russia may have acquired,
but it will prove her to be despotic to
degree Of which the human mind has no
conception and human history no par
allel.
1t is possible that the shameful fail
ure of the dominant party to govern
Onr present territory decently and re-
specially, should weigh against any
extension of our limits, but upon that
point we are not greatly concerned; we
are troubled merely for the sad situa-
ton Of the new acquisitions. The au-
