THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The Legislature has
made beginning toward the adjustment OF
the public debt. Of course it could not be
expected that any plan could be fully ma
tured ut the present session, or that In SO
important matter much haste would be
displayed. The commissioners VINO are
charged with the work Of aScertaining The
amount of debt we owe are not to be APP
pointed until the middle Of March next,
and are to make theirrcport to the LeslSla-
t1re at its session in 1872. The recommends
ton of the Finance Committee OF the Sen
ate contemplates independent and indlvld-
ual action on the part OF West Virginia.
Apparently the committee views with dlsla-
vor the proposition of the General Assembly
of Virginia tor the appointment OF arbl-
traitors, as no reference to that pro-
position is made. We deem it proba-
Bile, however, that the plan proposed
by Virginia will yet be presented IN
proper form and be fairly discussed, Tor
courtesy at least demands that much al the
hands of the Legislature now assembled III
Charleston. The Commonwealth OF VIZ
ginia tenders an arbitration of the -ques-.
lions Mt issue between us, and the mode of
settlement thus proposed should De care
fully and impartiaily considered. This
will certainly be done, even though the
result of action upon the subject be the
adoption of the plan now before the Senate.
We believe the general sentiment OF our
people is averse to committing the appor-
tionment of the public debt solely to the
hands of strangers in the manner eontem-
plated by the Virginia proposition, and 1t
is likely that the action Of the Finance
Committee Of the Senate will meet with
approval, but the offer of the Virginia
Legislature, having been made III frlendiy
spirit and courteous manner, certainly
merits the fullest discussion before 1t Is
lightly put aside Wheeling Register.

HE DaRIEE IITER-OJEANIe CANAL
Commander Seliridge's letter from Paya,
in the interior of Darien, announcing the
discovery of the line for the proposed in
ter-oceanic canal, is a scource Of much
qualification TO both the scientific and COM
mercial communities.
The steamship Guard, it may be remem-
bcred, lett New York December 4, and ar
rived ut Carthagena after twenty days
sail. and subsequently proceeded to the
mouth OF the Atrato river, distant from
Aspinwall about $50 miles. There the
Guard lay ut anchor. and a portion Of the
surveying party, consisting Of the COM
mander, few officers, and marines and
sailors. came off in launch and landed.
The Atrato is deep, sluggish river, with
marshy banks extending about ten miles,
when the ground becomes solid.
1t appears the party took but very little
baggage, Is the intention was to proceed
slowly, and to gradually diScoverSthe most
possible route, with the certainty of it be-
ing accomplished. For Il considerable por-
ton of the time the party had to rough it
under adverse circumstance but the pros
poets daily becoming brighter, the stout
hearted members of the pioneer band ira.

pitched pretty comfortable tents OIL the hard
soil, the lights attracting millions of intrud-
ing mosquitoes. 1t was cheering, however,
to lind that Us the party proceeded the sur
rounding country became more favorable,
and, and rapid way was made towards
paya, which is short WY beyond IariSa2
Oh the Tuyra river, elnptying into the Gulf
of San Miguel, on the Pacific.
Commander seltridse and party halted at
Paya, and subsequently returned by the
Atrato to the east coast. After very care
ful examination it was discovered that the
great divide was exactly 500 feet above the
level of the ocean, and although that was
some fifty feet higher than was generally
anticipated, it is stated that the barriers
are hy. no means so inSllrmountable as was
supposed. Although some hardships were
brayely endured, 40 sickness prevailed.
Commodore selfl'dge. it appears, is deter
mined to make most thorough and COM
plete exploration; for. although his efforts
50 far have been characterized by success,
he will at once proceed to relieve all doubt
concerning the route throughout The trip.
The Indians showed no signs of hostility,
being rather disposed to be friendly than
otherwise.

Correspondents OF the Wheeling Register.
Mason Cry, Feb. 2.-We had lively
time here yesterday with some of the newly.
created American citizens of African de.
scent, an account of which / send you fof
publication, if you deem it worthy of n
place in your valuable paper.
The circumstances Of the affair are
rs follows: About four weeks ago n
number of coal-miners concluded that
they the were being imposed upon by
the proprietors. and determined to have
redress by striking for their lawful and
legitimate rights In getting pay for all the
coal they dig instead of only four hs. 1t
seems that The wagons which they have
been filing Tor twenty bushels hold, by
measurement, twenty-five bushels, and
they have been working for 81 % per hun
dred, while some other mines in the neigh
borbood have been paying S1.4O, and others
az high as $3.50 per hundred. When the
demand for correct measurement of the
bank cars was made, the proprietors, in
stead OF acceding to the demand of the dig
gers, began to scour the country around
here for negroes to fill their places, and
finally succeeded in getting quite number
from the Ohio side to take the places of the
white men, and consequently the mines
have been run for several DAYS past by ne
groes. The whites, in the mean time, were
using all the persuasive language they could
bring to bear in admonshing their colored
friends to come out and leave the place for
their own personal safety, as threats Of vio-
lcncc had frequently been made against
them by the while miners, who had been
deprived of their situations. The negroes
were persistent, however, and concluded
to remain until they were compelled to
leave; which little compulsion took place
yesterday, and the SONS of Ham were rout-
ed and put to flight. Two of them were
not only routed, but came very near being
eXtcrminatcd. One of them is in a very
critical condition, he having received a
shot from a revolver in the hands of
another negro whe fired at white man,
but missed his aim. Another was beaten
and mutilated with clubs and picks, so that
it is not known whether he will recover or
not. The miners say the negroes are black
sheep, and the people here think, from the
manner in which they retreated across
corn-teldS, over fences, through swamps,
ana over bitches, that they are the true en-
bodlment of the term.
The sympathies of the people here were
all IN favor of the whites
Last night most dastardly act was COM
mltteu by some persons unknown, which
condemns them rs cowardly and mean, not
only in the preparation of the act, but in
the spirit which prompted it. Mr.. Myers, an
attorney here, undertook to defend the ne
groes, and in consequence thereof his house
was stoned, resulting in considerable dam
age done to windows, shutters, sc. All is
quiet now. r. A,
