The LATE DR.. ROBERTS Correspondence
of the Richmond Whig LIBERTY, Jan. a.

The LATE DIR. ROBERTS - Correspondence
of the Richmond Wing. l-LIBERTY, Jan. a.
Several incidents are reported here in connec-
ton with the bloody tragedy enacted on our
streets last Wednesday, which communicate,
as the affair is still the subject of general COM
ment and the occasion OF considerable feeling
throughout our section, and everything i'll re-
gard to it is read with interest
1t is stated that Dr. Roberts, on the night
which preceded the fatal Wednesday on which
the collision occurred resulting in his death,
anticipatins difficulty and appreciating the
serious consequences likely to flow from it, made
his will, bequeathing what articles of personal
property he had about him, his jewelry, books,
Gc., to his friends, and directing what disposl-
ton should be made of his effects In the event
Of his death. Having conducted correspond
ence with several young ladies, he arranged TO
have their letters returned, and in all respects
made such preparations rs betit one who goes
forth not expecting to return:
The interment OF the remains Of the untortu-
nate young man in the cemetery grounds near
the village, took place on Friday afternoon under
the auspices of the Piedmont Council Friends
ofTemperance, to which the deceased belonged.
There was lengthy procession, III which a,p-
peared the members Of the Council in regalui,
and large concourse of citizens, embracing
many ladies. The funeral services were con-
Quoted in an affecting and impressive manner
by Hev. DIR. Sheppcrson Of the Presbyterian
Church The grave WAS profusely decked with
wreaths and crosses Of evergreens and knots of
flowers the symbols ofthe grief Of friends and
touching tributes to the memoryof the departed.
An awkward and unfortunate mistake occur
red in the burial of DIR. Roberts. The persons
who selected the spot unintentionally located it
on some family plat which had not been enclos-
ed, though several lost members of the house
hold were buried in it. Saturday DR.. Roberts
had to be disinterred, and removed to another
grave in grounds not engaged for other uses

THE ARMISTICE.

The report that the Armistice will
be prolonged gathers confirmation
daily, One reason for this may be
that Prussia sees plainly, or at least
believes so, that there is no chance
for the Republic, hut that King
will be elected. The friends of
Count Paris are sanguine as TO the
result, and declare that his election
is certain. The consent of Prussia
to a prolongation of the Armistice,
if any such consent has been given,
does not indicate any such result.
The movements of Bismarck
throughout have been governed with
a caution that has never failed to
check-mate any Republican effort.
He is just as clear sighted in this in
stance as he has been heretofore,
and we are much mistaken if he in
tends an Orlean ist to sit on the
French throne. Rumor weeks ago
was busy coupling the name of Bon
aparte with the future ruler of
France, and Bismarck was evidently
in favor of such termination to the
war. We believe this will be the re-
suit. and this alone.

OUR BRITISH RELATIONS.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: !:
Onr Washington telegram reports e
prospect that the British govern
ment will concede TO us an equal
right in the Canadian coast fisheries.
This will dispose Of all trespasses
and disputes about poaching over
the line, and will be a valuable acqui-
sition. Also, that she will make US
A gift of the free navigation of the
st. Lawrence. This she can well af
ford to do, for the st. Lawrence is
not a navigable stream without the
links of the Canadian canals, which
we could use at any time by paying
the regular tolls. There is also a
prospect that the British Ministry
will embrace the opportunity of the
recently mitigated temper and de-
mand upon the Alabama depreda-
tions, revealed by the censure of
Motley for stating our complaint too
strongly,to reopen negotiations for
a settlement of these claims. The
time is favorable, and the govern
ment preceives it. In short, there
is prospect that all disputes with
Great Britain will be settled. and
that the Greeley notion of nursing
them into demand for the cession
of Canada, and the Butler PROPOSE
ton of aggravating them into a war
in order to carry the election, will
naturally expire.

here than in the older States, and
the price of grain is about the same
in both localities, so that some ad-
vantage would accrue to the renter
here. Again a man with small
amount of capital and a great amount
of patience and perseverance, might
greatly advance his temporal inter
ests, by locating at some distance
from the center Of settlements. and
waiting until the tide of emigration
reaches him. Men,too,possessed of
a greet amount of capital, might do
a very philanthrophic act by pur-
chasing large body of land, and
putting up tenement houses on it;
and letting them to men Of small
capital, who would cultivate their
land and put them under farm.
There are great fields of operation,
opening up here for the christian Ia
Dor Of pious men. For example,
Mr.. James Armstrong went to To
peka five years ago; when there was
only eight members in the Presby-
terian church, without house of
worship. And now as the result of
his labor to great extent, as Elder
in that church, its membership num-
bers about 24O. And the church
building although large, with gal
lery on three sides, is nevertheless
too small, to accommodate all who
attend on the means of grace at that
church. The minister of the Cos
pei too, might accomplish an meal
culable amount of good, by locating
in some growing place, and sustain
ing himself for few years until his
hearers should acquire numbers, and
wealth sufficient to support him. l
have now endeavored to give you a
faithful description of this country.
and the proper motives which should
actuate persons in seeking it for a
home. In our next we give you a few
matters of observation on our way
back to Ohio, and then Twill have
ended the description of my tour
to the west. -s

THE SLEEPING CAR QUESTION.
The Ohio House has entertained

The Ohio House has entertained
q bill regulating the charges for
berths on the sleeping-car. The
bill provides that for the use and
occupancy of a single chair, berth
or sofa in such car, for twenty-four
hours, there shall be charged not
more than one dollar; for section,
one dollar and fifty cents, and for
a state-room two dollars. Any tick
ct agent asking or receiving more
than these rates is to pay a penalty
of 800 to $500, and the property OF
the company to be liable for the
same. The same penalty is pre-
scribed for refusing any person ad-
mission to such car after the pur-
chase of such ticket.

violence of a severe gale. 1t may

abled so as to render the passage
wearisome and tedious, but the pub
lie heart can now breathe easier an6

her arrival at San Domingo.

THE KING OF SPAIN.

A letter from Madrid to the Lon
don Times speaks as follows of the
new King of Spain: He orders the
palace gates to locked and the lights
put out at midnight. He himself,
so far, has retired to rest soon after
ten. The unroyal habits-or, l
may better say, un-Spanish habits,
for here the natives breakfast at
eleven. and 60 to bed when the cock
crows ARE creating great astonish
ment. He has had one or two re-
ceptions of officials, at which he has
abolished the hand-kissing of royal
ty for the hand-shaking of Democ-
racy. What the Mrs. Grundys of
England will say to this know not.
He gave one thousand pounds to the
poor of Madrid, and another thous-
and pounds to the needy among the
citizen militia. He is soon to hold
a review of the troops, and insists
on reviewing the militia also. He
walks about the streets, goes visit
ing and shopping without any escort,
and accompanied by only one or two
Adjutapts, He called upon poor
Naudin, who had bis hand shot away
by the same wretches who killed
Prim, and he told him he was to con-
slider his services as Adjutant trans
ferred to himself. He has done the
same with all the Adjutants of Gen.
Prim. Learning that the public
school-masters are many months be-
hind hand in their pay, he has told
Minister Moret he will touch none
of his pay till their claims are salts
fed. The first week of his reign is
nearly over. and he has not been
murdered or insulted. and no insur-
rection has occurred, as prophesied
by many. Indeed, so little likeli-
hood is there now of these things
that the Queen intends to come here
before the end of the month, and it
is reported today that the ExEm
press Eugene is to make a visit to
her mother, the Countess de Monti-
jo. Another good thing l have to
record of the King. He expressed
his intention to grant general am
nesty for political ofenses; but on
reference to the Constitution, it was
found that one of the articles ex-
pressiy prohibits the King granting
general induigencies, unless author
lied by a special law OF the Cortes,
and this special law was forgotten
to be asked for in the mad haste
with which the Cortes were closed.

THE GREAT DISASTER.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Iri-
bune says: "a startling fact has
come to light with regard to the
Hudson River disaster. The ex-
press train was lured to destruction
by false signal, for which the par
simony of the company was direct
ly responsible. The signal post on
which the lights were hung at night
stood at the draw, and until this
winter man has always been on
duty at that point with instructions
to mind the bridge and signal trains.
Two months ago, for the sake OF
economy, this watch was removed,
and the care of the bridge was
added to the duties of a man sta
toned at the water tank, nearly
one-fourth of mile below. Trains
were to be tagged from the tank in
stead Of the bridge, and at night a
white light, indicating all right, was
left permanently hanging at a post
seventy rods from the nearest
watchman. If the signal man had
been within reach of his signal,
where he ought to have been, he
could probably have shown a red
light in time to avert the disaster %
