There are those upon whom this ca
lamity falls with more crushing force
than that with which it wrings the
hearts of companions and friends. There
is giief which no. words can paint;
the pen is powerless to express aught
but sorrow for such as rest beneath the
bitter desolation of household bereave-
ment. A single visitation from the
dread messenger often darkens with de-
spair the future of stricken ones, but
who shall measure the agony of those
who now for the fourth time in less
than half score Of years, have sat
down with death for a guest, and mp
lifted the wall of hopeless mourning
over the untimely fate of brother
and son. More than this, the tears
of widowhood are falling upon the
grave Of the dead; the cries of orphan
age bear witness to the martyrdom that
has left childhood fatherless and help
less.
Language fails to portray the agony
of such fearful affliction. Words of
coincidence can carry no comfort to
those whose hopes are withered and
whose joy is dead. In the silence of
deep and tender sympathy the public
heart will attest its grief

Faiiures Of national Baul...

The following is an extract from the
report of the Comptroller of the Curren-
cy relative to failures Irrational banks;
Since the organization of the first Ma
tional hank, June Doth, 1868, up to Oc-
tober lat, 1867, ten National banking
associations have failed. Their aggre-
gate capital is 81, $4,000; their aggre-
gate liabilities and circulation, 81 49,
900; deposits and other liabilities TO the
public, $3,372, 200; total, s., 500, 100. The
circulation will be paid in fall, so the
public viii suffer no loss from that source,
and the bonds deposited as securities
for the same would to-day realize sur
plus of some S250,000 that would be
applied to the payment of general credi-
tors. A careful estimate of the assets
leads to the conclusion that they will
realize sum sufficient to pay seventy
per cent. to creditors, leaving the total
ultimate loss sustained by the public
through their failure about Sl,000,000
The failure of National banks which
have thus far occurred may in every in
stance directly be traced to the dis
honesty or incempetency of bank Off
cials, and tie habitual violation of the
plainest provisions of tho law under
which they were organized. Govern
ment deposits are not included in the
above mentioned item of deposits and
other liabilities to the public. The only
loss to the Government will result from
the failure of the Merchants National
Bank of Washington, which has been
investigated by a Congressional Com
mittee. The estimate of the total Ulti-
mate loss sustained by the people does
not include the. amounts which may be
recovered from stockholders on personal
property,

WELLsBURG, November 26, 1867.

The very vastness of Russia dimin-
ishes in some respects the power of re-
alizing the extent of progress she is
making: the steadily progressive amount
of her exports indicates that her devel-
opmcnt of resources does not depend on
mere adventitious circumstances. Her
exports last year were valued at 1884,
54S, 900 roubles, the increase in the last
four years amounting in value to $780,
10000. The labor of the country would
appear to be admirably organized,
whilst additional facilities to trade are
afforded by the rapid construction of
railway lines of which 1890 miles
are now open to the public. The
Indebtedness of the Russian Govern
ment for advances made for promoting
internal improvements, made the basis,
some years since, of all sorts of sinister
predictions on the part of English
statesmen and political economists, just
as the debt of the United States, incur
red through the civil war, the results of
which are destined to accelerate her ad-
vance in wealth and greatness beyond
all computation, was pronounced with
an air of pompous authority to prcsage
financial anarchy aud ruin. ''as

The call of the State Executive Com
vittee for State Convention seems to
he arousing the Democratic and Con-
seryative elements quite generally. In
MANY counties movements are already
IN foot to arrange for the selection OF
delegates, and others, we doubt not, will

One Lie snueIehed.
From tho Springfield (Mass) Republican

From tho Springfield tMassJ Republican,
One horror is laid ut rest by the i'm
peachment reports. The shocking
charge that President Johnson murder
ed his predecessor is supported by not a
word Of evidence, direct or indirect, and
when Ashley was finally called before
the committee on the subject, only a
week ago, he was obliged to confess
that he never had any authority for the
accusation beyond the word of that uni
versal liar and perjurer, Conover. But
ler's assassination committee will never
report, and the Congressman who so
shocked the country with their mon
strous accusations of the President, will
be glad to have their offense forgotten
rs speedily as possible. s5a

The Noble Dead.

1t is our painful duty to record the
occurrence of u terrible calamity which
has carried anguish and mourning to
the hearts of nany families in this VIZ
einity. We alludc to the brutal murder
Of Major JOHN A. THOMPSON, son of Col
Onel JOHN THOMPSON, of Moundsville,
and nephew of Judge G. w. THOMPSON,
Of this city.
Major THOMPSON had for some
time been stationed upon the
Texas frontier, at Fort Mason, of
which post he has been in COM
mand. On or about the 18th
of November, Major THOMPSON,
his wife and their two children
were taking a drive in the vicin-
ity of the fort Discovering diff
fculty in progress between party of
soldiers, off duty, and a gang Of despera-
does who frequent the fort about pay
day to rob the soldiers, he ordered a
Sergeant to arrest the parties. Upon
hearing the order, the desperadoes fired
upon Major THOMPSON as he sat in his
carriage, by the side of his wife, shoot
ing him in the head. He expired in
twenty minutes.
The Sergeant was also mortally
wounded. The murderers Immediately
mounted their horses and fed, and at
last advices had not been arrested. The
most intense Indignation was felt by
the troops under Major THoMPsON's
command, by all of whom he was loved
aud honored. His regiment have offer
ed reward of ono thousand dollars for
the apprehension of his assassins, and
as they are we'll kaown, it is hoped and
believed that they will yet be brought
tojustiGe.
Major THOMPSON began his military
career in the war between the United
States and Mexico. The faithfulEess
and iutrepidity with which he served,
and the distinction which he won, early
connected his name with our country's
military history. His commission in
the Regular Army, won in the
Mexican service, was accepted
some twelve years since. Having
adopted the profession OF soldier he
cheerfuly met it's responsibilities, and
faithfully performed its arduous duties.
Called by his vocation away from the
scenes and associations of early days,
separated from friends, relatives and
home, he devoted the best energies of q
noble manhood to his couDtry's service,
and closed an honorable career with
that sublimest of offerings, a hero's
life. 81: @
The tidings of this mournful event
will touch and sadden many heart.
Numbers who read these lines will re-
call the kindness, the honor, and the
nobility of character which, in the warm
eompanionship of other days, won for
The departed the highest esteem Of
which pure friendship is capable. Many
i his comrades in his first service,
mindful Of the vieissitudes of camp and
heid, will mourn the fate which has
borne from earth brother in arms,
whose name is endesred by the memory
Of dangers and glories which with him
sney shared Sadly will they remem-
Der that the mortal remains OF one,
around whom clustered the best hopes
Vi past years, are forever entombed be-
meath the sod of the far away South.
