pected of one OF his age. Gov. John,

and public spirited Governors that ever
adorned the history Of the State, bis
views of public improvements and rail-
road enterprises were comprehenslv,e
and statesmanlike, and his whole ad
ministration az honorable to himself as
beneficial to the State.

SnaSh.Up.

On Saturday last a considerable acci-
dent and smash-up occurred on the
Parkersburg division OF the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near Clarksburg
Two trains of fast stock, East were
coming in behind time, and the forward
train having occasion to stop, or check
up" while descending grade, the tram
following ran into it. The locomotive
and a number OF cars were almost com
pletelv smashed. The engineer OF the
bindmost train made every effort TO
stop but the brakeman was fast asleep
and going down grade made it lmpos-
sible. A man was sent forward to warn
the Cincinnati Express, which was then
Jue of the danger, but the engineer
e;tber failed to see the warning or
rsctIessly refused to heed it, and plung-
Cd his train into the forward train that
wss then obstructing the track. The
ENGINES of the three trains were nearly
dsmolished. Alarge amount OF dam
ACE was the result. No one was s"'
a a injured. -Grsfson Es'ti"st

ments OF the military-he might as soor
imagine himself in Turkey or Siberia
lie would observe the business of the
locality at a stapdstill; citizens with
grave, anxious visages gathered here
and there in groups of two Or three
conducting whispered non. committal
conversations; while squads of soldiers
were hurrying crowds OF young, middle.
aged and old men to prison, without
written warrant or accusation, refusing
them the intercourse Of friends or the
usual privileges OF counsel.
1t told that he was in portion of the
United States, under the auspices of the
best Government the world ever saw"
he would naturally conclude that he had
slept thousand years or so, and that
the Government Of his native land had
undergone change from the represent
atlve 10 the absolute form. He would
fail to discover in this part Of his native
country any Of those forms or features
OF civil liberty which has 80 proudly
distinguished it in the past imagine
II SUCH an event were to occur, the be-
nlghted wanderer would hurry up the
Initiation of his balloon, and weigh
anchor for a more hosptable and gen.
erous cline, endeavoring to find some
where on the globe a Government SINH.
lar to the one he had long ago left.
THE GENERAL ALARM.
A prominent member Of the bar here
informs me that many persons in the
county have been to consult him as to
whether they should leave or run the
risk OF indefinite imprisonment without
charge or indictment. Several state
that through the friendiness or design
of acquaintance cognizant Of the secret
operations going on, they are informed
that their names are on the black list
for arrest. Under ordinary circum-
stances, these persons would not hest
tate to undergo fair and speedy trial;
but the boldest and most innocent
tremble at the prospect Of indefinite i'm
murement in dungeon, without know
ing, or opportunity to meet the charges
upon which they are incarcerated. The
very indefniteness Of these proceedings
causes every white man in the COM
munity, who :. not an avowed Repub.
lican, to feel that he may be the next
victim of malice or suspicion.
WHY THESE ARRESTS ARE MADE BY THE
MILITARY
instead of the civil agents Of the Gov
eminent is mystery to the simple
minded people here. The county Sher-
if states to me that he had never met
the least opposition in making arrests Of
persons accused of crime, and has never
heard Of any combination to resist.
Other persons state that resistance to
arrest by officers clothed with the au-
thority of the law is unheard OF in this
locality. After diligent inquiries upon
both sides Of this question, l can learn
of but one instance in which resistance
to a civil officer has been resorted, and
that was in the case Of a convicted felon
who was endeavoring to escape the SER
vice of bench warrant, and was killed
in the attempt. He was white man
and-a Republican. He could not
surely have been a Ku.Klux, too,
though possibly.
