YVHE IMPRESSION OBTAINS AMONG many
i persons that the value of Accident Insurance
can be appreciated .only by travellers, or those
whose avocations are necessarily of hazardous
nature. Still statistics show that one in every
ten of the entire population meets with an
Accident every year. Every prudent and careful
will act with reference to future contingencies.

if fatal to him and to himself also, if only dis
abling him from business,
In either case this mode of insurance comes to
you with certain relief.
Erery man is liable to accident. "Good Luck
cannot always be depended upon.
The question to be settled are precisely the same
as in fire insurance. Is it not cleaper to let a
responsible company take the risk than it is to
carry it it.yourself? Is not the protection offered

FIRE PROOF ROOFS.

The Mansard roofs are being very gene
rally and very properly condemned on ac-
count of their bad conduct in fires. Pic
turesque and ornamental as they are, they
should be confined wholly to country houses
and open villages, where no external risks
OF fire exist. r - ssa as ss+ss
What is, however, especially important
everywhere is fire proof roofs. There are
many patent roofs Of this kind, but none
that we can entirely commend, except slate
or tin. We were glad to notice in Loudoun
county recently, that several of the best
farm houses were being covered with
tin roofs, which were found to
be upon the whole the most
satisfactory there. Of their relative cost
we cannot state definitely. The Hon.
George S. Head, of Leesburg, who has had
large experience in their construction, in
forms us that they are very durable, and
the cost but little in excess Of the best
shingle. We should be glad to receive
communications upon this matter of roofing.
1t is one of great practical Importance, es-
pecially viewed in reference to fire risks
We have vast beds of slate, which ought, I
opened and worked on scale, to equal
i those Of the North to furnish cheap and du.
4 rable roofing. OF their condition, we, anc
the public generally, are not informed.

WEST VIRGINIA MATTERS.

The West Virginia Commissioners,
Messrs. jackson, Bennett and Campbell,
publish card in to-day's Dispatch, impu-
ting to Governor Walker disregard of of
fetal courtesy altogether foreign TO his
character. No man ''does The manners"
better than our handsome Governor, and
we are sure that there is some explanation,
for this apparent neglect, which will be
satisfactory when it transpires. These gem
tlemen will certainly be treated with the
courtesies due their official position, and
their high character as citizens of our neigh
Dor State. Let every facility be given to a
full understanding Of the equities existing
in this controversy. Let us get at the right

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.

We print to-day an article copied from
the Fairfax Necs, small, but neatly
printed sheet, owned and edited by d. w.
Whiting. Mr.. W., we believe, is native
of Virginia served faithfully and conscien-
ously in the Confederate army. He has
had enough of war. He sincerely has the
good of his country at heart, and in order
to accomplish the greatest amount of good,
he started the Neacs, and in his cosy sane
turn he works diligently with pen and scis-
sors to instruct, edify, and please his read
els. In old Fairfax county, he has noble
work before him, and we are confident his
motto will be "The greatest good to the
greatest number y that he will "Be just

at, be thy Country's, thy Gods, and

of the matter, and then be just to ourselves
and generous to West Virginia.
We have our views about this whole
business, for which nobody but ourselves
are responsible.
We believe, jas we did at the time, that the
division Of Virginia, into two States, was
wholly uncalled for and unwarrantable.
The reasons given for it were puerile and
inadequate. No good, whatever, has or can
grow out Of it, but il will be a matter of
contention for a generation between two
weak fragments of what was once and may
again become, noble State. We are anal
terably for thereconsttuetion of'he old Con'-
nonsceaHa of F6ginia, in its original terri
to'aal integrity. =
We can show that the interests Of both
sections would be incidentally advanced by
such reunion. With the exception of
duplicate set of State officers, there is no
man whose personal interests would not be
advanced by 1t in either State. An act il
legal, unjust and hostile to the public inter-
est like this, can be remedied. 1t seems to
us an eminently favorable moment to agi-
tate this matter. We are personally aware
that many of our best statesmen of
DO th parties, consider the division
to have been illegal, as well as impolitic.
There is no serious obstacle to reunion,
and surely justice and the common good of
both sections will be secured by it. Let
US have the voice of the people of both
the yirginias. The politicians, who want
the offices, are interested parties, and are
not to be implicitly trusted. Give the
question fair hearing, in all its bearings
upon public and private interests, and we
are confident that an overwhelming ma
jority of all the people in the two States
will decide in favor of rejoining the dis
severed members of the old Common
wealth.
