Proverbs Of all Nations.

A stitch in time saves nine.
A full purse never lacks friends.
A friend is never known till needed.
Anger and hate hinder good counsel.
A liar is not believed when he speaks
the truth. s.., .l
A goose quill is' more dangerous
than lions claw. g
A truth has no legs, but SANDER has
wings.
According to your purse, govern
your mouth.
A man is not good or bad for one
action.
A man that breaks his word, bids
others be false to him.
A good word for bad one, is wortl!
much and costs little.
All complain of the want Of memo
ry, but none of want Of judgment.
AT the gate which suspicion enters,
love goes out
A husband without ability is like a
house without roof.
A man in passion rides a horse
that runs away with him.
A poor man has not many marks
for fortune to shoot at.
A broad hat does not always cover a
wise head.
A wise mans thoughts walk within
him, fools without him.
A friend that you buy with presents,
will be bought from you,
A nice man and q back door, do Of
ten make rich man poor.
Alms-giving never made any man
poor, nor robbery rich, nor prosperity
wise.
A little house well-filled. a little land
we'll titled, and little wife we'll willed.
A man without money is like bow
without an arrow.
A man may as well expect to be at
ease without wealth, as happy without
virtue. nt

1t will be remembered that some
weeks ago several negroes were arrest
ed in Helena, and on confession ofone
of the number, on examination before q
magistrate, were committed to Jail
without bail on the charge of having
murdered Gen. Hindman, and having
concocted plot to burn the town OF
Helena. Among these prisoners was
one Charles Porter, who actually MUIR
dered Hindman-that is, fired the shot
that killed him.
We learned last night, from an entire
ly reliable source, that these negroes,
all of them, have, for reasons unknown
to any save the Radical authorities
who had them in charge. been released
from custody. How long they have
been out of Jail is not known, nor was
it suspected that they were 80, until
within few days, when there was a
rumor started around Helena among
the negroes that Porter had been en-.
gagged in a duel with another negro,
and had been killed by him. Parties
Immediately attempted to trace the ru-
NOR to its source, but were unable to
learn anything except that Porter and
his companions in crime were not in
custody. Of course the rumor is moth
ing but blind 10 cover the mysterious
release of the murderers. 1t will be
well for the "law and order" preservers
to look into this piece Of deviltry.-

THE card of Judge Hickerson ap.


THE card Of Judge Hickerson APP
pears in our columns this week, an.
nouncing himself a candidate for Cir
cult Judge Of this District. Judge
II. desires to be understood as running
for this office singly and alone upon
his merits as lawyer, and not rs O
political partizan. He desires the sup.
port of all qualified voters who think
him competent to discharge the duties
of the Office to which he aspires. He
has always been a Union man. He be-
lievcd that it was the duty of all men
to obey the laws Of the country so
long as they were unrepealed on tpc
Statute Book, and sustained by the ju-
dcial tribunals OF the country, showing
the highest respect for law, both fun
damental and statuary. With such q
record, and aprofound legal knowledge,
he is eminently fit for the office OF
Judge. "IIe will decide the law as he
understands it, not as a party may
want it," and we hope no partisan is
80 lost to all sense Of justice as to de-
sire decisions in our Courts to be based
upon the political opinions or prefer
cnces of litigants at issue before the
bar of the county. A Judicial officer,
WHO could be manipulated by such in
huencc, could not be respected by any
party, and would be used only as a
dirty tool for dirty service. 1t has
been said that Judge II. resigned this
Office year or two ago, because he
was appointed by a Radical Governor
and an attempts made to prejudice the
minds Of many honest, well'meaning
members of the Radical party, by such
charge against him. A contradiction
is due to him; and to all right-minded
men, his friends with whom he has
heen on terms of most intimacy, those
who know his private sentiments best,
stamp the charge as false and SANDER
Gus. lie allows no such partisan feel
ings to find 4 lodgment in his nature.
The had such feelings, he would not
ut first have accepted the office. His
acceptance committed him TO an ac-
acknowledgement of the authority of the
appointment, and recognition Of the
friendly patronage Of Gov. Brownlow.
How, then, in the nature Of human
motive, could his resignation be inter
preted into DIES On SO contradictory
in itself? The truth is, this is all a
false rumor, gotten up for the purpose
Of defeating his election, The public
mind is too accustomed to these tricks
in elections to be deceived by them,
except it be young, inexperienced men,
or colored persons lately admitted to
the ballot,box, who have not yet learn
cd the many plots and intrigues OF
and it is to this class OF the
community that We most especially de
sire to administer caution in listening
to this and other rlmors likely to have
an effect i'll this election, Men have
motives for their conduct, and the
sooner the inexperienced portion Of
the community understand the corrup-
ion III election campaigns, the better
lor them and the country Hence, we
say to them, be cautious to accept false
-umors in elections, and vote intelli- ,
gently.

Railroad Travel.

A Junior member of this office las lately had
a very pleasant trip over the Orange and Alex
rndria Railroad, and over the Chesapeake aud
Ohio Railroad, and takes great pleasure in ac-
knowledging the courtesy of the Presidents of
these Roads, John S. Barbour, Esq, of the
former, and Gen. William c. Wickham, Presi-
dent of the latter. On the first named Road
We noticed the accommodating and pleasant
conductor, Capt. Moore; and on the other,
Capt Finks, Capt. Richardson, and Capt. An
Gerson, all courteous and gentlemanly conduc-
tors. These Roads, which unite at Gordons-
vile, and extend Westwardly, theone toLynch-
burg and the other to Covington and approach
ing rapidly the renowned Sulphur Springs,
are in fine order, travellers generally manifest
ing much satisfaction with their management.
And here we have the opportunity of saying
that members of Congress four West Virginia
Senators among them are beginning to show
their appreciation Of the importance of ex-
tending aid to the Chesapeake and Ohio Road,
which offers portion of the nearest and best
route from the Pacific to the Atlantic-Wash-
ington, Cincinnati, and st. Louis being nearly
in the same parallel of latitude. The route is
one of easy grades, and the climate so mild as
to render obstruction by ice or snow a very
rare occurrence.
In approaching the Southern Roads to which
we have referred, we necessarily took the route
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads. work
which was pioneer and which the public
spirited citizens of Baltimore rsked their
money, when railroads were expensive and IN
certain experiments.
While on the route we learned with pleasure
that in spite of the various impediments and
stupid opposition thrown in his way, JONI W.
GARRETT, Esq, the indomitabIo President, is
pushing ahead tho work on the Metropolitan
Railroad from Washington to the Point of
Rocks, and that in another year we shall be
able to make trip from Charlestown to the
National Metropolis in four hours. The man
under whose energetic rule bridges were re-
built and rails relaid as if by magic, after the
ravascs Of war had Frustrated every thing in
the way, is not one to be INSTRUCTED or delayed
by the puny efforts Of Mayor Bowen of Wash
ington and his adiuncts. The Road will be
made. There is the will and the energy to do
it and it is being done.

VIRGINIA FREE PRE1SS--TTIE OLD F.

Surratt without reyiving the sad and terrible
memories connected with it memories of
woman who had led pure, harmless and Chris
tian life, and who was descending the vale of
years beloved and respected by all who knew
her; the venerated mother Of grown up chill
dren, dragged suddenly from her peaceful home,
accused of crime Of which no rational man
now believes her guilty, loaded with irons so
heavy that she could scarcely walk, refused
twenty-four hours preparation for death after
her sentence, aud swung off amid jeers aud
moeSery Of brutal crowd. These things can
not be forgotten, and ought not to be; not that
they should be remembered for retributoD, but
precisely the opposite. They should warn the
people Of this country against going mad with
blind, undiscrimiuating hatred and vengeance,
no matter what the provocation. They should
impress upon tribunals of justice the duty OF
independence and fearlessness of popular pas
sion they should admonish our countrymen
not to heed the voice of fatterers who would
make them believe that they are not capable
of great public crimes as other nations, but to
lay to heart the advice Of inspiration to him
who thinketh he standeth, to take heed lest be
fall.
1t has been remarked by philosophical his
torian that "depravity has its temporary modes,
which come in and go out like modes Of up
holdStery" 1t is nearly two hundred years
since the execrable crime of swearing away the
lives of innocent people upon monstrous bu;
timed ISLANDERS, addressed to a people made
credulous by their passions, became, as it were
the vogue in England. Since that time it has
gone out Of fashion there, not. it is to be
hoped, to be revived here Let US trust, not
withstanding the late triumph in this country
of spirit which proclaims that " revenge is
Gods own sweet morsel," that it will never
make permanent Judgment in the politics Of
America.

The New Cabinet.


The matter is rather too good TO keep, SO 1t
has leaked out that delegation of gentlemen
from Pennsylvania called upon General Grant
previous to bis departure North, and repre-
sented that the vital interests Of the Republi-
can party in their State demanded place in
the Cabinet for Pennsylvania, and that the
choice should be made judiciously, as unless
the right man should be selected, the Republic
cans might, even in case of such appointment,
sustain defeat at the next election. 1t is re-
ported that the gentleman did not press the
name of any particular person. General
Grant said in reply that Pennsylvania politics
were more corrupt than those Of any other
State, and that before making any selection
from Pennsylvania, he would deliberate and
consult with man he sees in the glass every
morning, as he did not desire any member Of
his Cabinet tainted with political corruption
This statement comes so straight that it cannot
be doubted. - Hash. Cor. Nev York Journal

cess Of construction.
This is a work in which the people of JEFF
ferson have deep interest. The location OF

effect of resuscitating that excellent watering
