A TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT
Another terrible and fatal accident c.,
CURED on last Tuesday afternoon, the
9th inst. A boy by the name of Alex
ander Henderson, aged about fourteen
years, a son of Robert Henderson, liv-
ing about five miles from here in this
county, took his fathers gun and went
into the woods to hunt. After he had
been hunting for some time some one
heard the report Of the gun and went
to see who it was that was shooting,
When he arrived at the place from
whence the report OF the gun came he
found the boy lying deJd, and
uron examination he was found
to be shot through the head. II
is supposed that, from the circum-
stances as near as could be Judged, he
was in the act of replacing the cap, and
had put his foot upon the hammer anu
was blowing IN the muzzle, when the
gun was discharged, the ball pas ing

State Debt.

Among the Senate documents Of the
Senate OF Virginia, will be found full
and complete report Of the financial
condition of the State of Virginia, made
by Mr.. John BrannoT, Of Lewis county
chairman OF the Finance committee, III
the session Of lSj9-G0. The report is
full and very deliberately prepared, en-
bracing forty-eight pages Of printed
matter, and will be found to be {. most
valuable document in constituting
basis for any adjustment that may I've
made for the public debt. 1t will be
necessary to know what thc amount Of
the debt was in 1861. We understand
the debt TO be settled is what is called
the funded debt. This debt was not
materially increased between the time
of report referred to, and the beginning
of the war. We also should know the
amount and character Of the invest
ments OF the State. From Mr.. Bran
mons report we finl this debt including
the guaranteed bonds Of the James
river and Kanawda company, on the lst
of January, 1850, was SG2,976,666 80,
but Of this debt, the commissioners Of
the sinking fund then held 81 ,0SS,Gj1

Railroad Matters.

The railroad meeting at the Court
House last Saturday night manifested a
very satisfactory degree Of interest on
the part of our substantial business
men in the three railroad enterprises
which are now attracting popular atten-
ton. The Wheeling and Toledo rail
road, the Panhandle extension, and the
extension of the Hempfield road, each
received a share OF attention, and were
each considered in the resolutions
passed. There seemed 10 be but one
opinion in the meeting as to the adj
yantages 10 be secured by the construc
ton Of these roads, and all were united
a. 10 the dcsirability Of their compile
ton at the earliest possible day.
The main idea presented by the
speakers was the benefit TO be conferred
ur,n the trade and commerce Of the
city by the opening of these roads, and
the consequent appreciation in the
value of property here. From the
absence of anything being said to the
contrary, it might almost be inferred
that the subscriptions which were
pledged to the capital stock of these
roads (the Wheeling and Toledo chiefly
were viewed as direct contribution,
price to be paid for the common benefit
of all, and not as an invc stment that
would be likely to return profits to the
holder of the stock. In all human
probability, the Wheeling and Toledo
railroad will be what is called paying
road. II one-half of the expectations
of the amount of business it will do are
realized, its fares and freights will yield
handsome dividends to its stockholders.
Independently of the general advan-,
tages to result to the merchants manu-
fa:tuvers, and property-holders OF the
city, the money paid for shares of stock
will probably prove a good paying in
vestment This idea was not alluded
to in the meeting, but it adds at least
something to the force Of the other
arguments presented in favor Of
aiding in the construction Of the
road. Even If the stock should
not prove profitable consdsrt / simply
az stock, The city will reap the other ad-
vantases spoken Of and, by the en-
hsnceusess of hen trasle, realize largely
from the investment

The legislature OF West Virginia

This body organized permanently on
Tuesday, the 18th inst. The Demo
Gratis have decided majority, and, in
fact, the same party fill all the offices,
from Governor down. The Radicals
are demanding that the Democratic
party should at once commence the re-
form promised during the late cam
paign. They call for reform, but die.
tate measures that should be adopted
bv the present Democratic Legislature.
They do not seem to realize the fact
that West Virginia, for the first time
since the organization of the State, is
in the hands Of the Democratic party,
and that under the direction of that
party, reform without the aid
Of the Radical party must come.
The first step 10 be taken
bv the Legislature is to declare in favor
of a Constitutional Convention, which
we have no doubt will be the case in a
short time. We need a respectable
constitution that will
guarantee 10 all free and equal rights
The constitution cInnot
be- made decent by the patchwork o.
so earnestly advocated b.
The late dominant party. As soon ss
the Legislature declares in favor OF a
c invention, every county should hold
county conventions and select the best
men as delegate, 10 the Slate Conven-
ton. None but the best should be
chosen. We have q man in view capa-
bic, and we have, no doubt will be &C
ceptable to all for the position.
