And TO these add agaiu the sums that
were spent on various projects that do not
appear in the bonded debt. Together with
the items given above, they constitute 80
many * eauities with which, as 1 said,
the State of West Virginia confronts and
accuses the old State.
1t was anciently said that "all roads
lead to Rome" And this ancient policy
seems to have been followed in the Fir-
gnia system of public improvements SO lar
as making nearly every appro prlatlon con.
duce to the up-building of Richmond. II
will be noticed, however, that these vast
sums were all expended IN what Is now
Virginia, and that none ct them de-
yeloped an acre of soil within our limits.
It is doubtful whether ever before one
part of State, possessing theoretically
the same rights as any other, part, was so
conspicuously Disseminated against as
WAS West Virginia by the former State OF
Virginia. Had she never belonged to Vlr-
ginia, but been, as she is to-day, her own
legislator, or o part Of the great State OF
PENNSYLVANIA, she would not now De
merely struggling into something like pop
ulous settlement, because of the virgins,
land titles with which she has been and sun
is 80 effectually cursed, and because OF the
incompatib ility Ct her eeographicai POSI- posi-,
adopted by that State. In view, therefore,
OF all these facts and the other "equities
of the case, the Richmond Dispatch may
well remark that "there is no reason tor
surprising that West Virginia will ever con-
sent to pay one-third OF the debt" I.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

ARnssT, INCARCERATION, AND DISCHARGE.
On Monday evening Thomas II. Walker,
of Mecklcnburg county. was arrested at
Johnson's Hotel and committed to iaiI
by Justice b. G. Terry upon the CON-
plant Of .. Canada, Esq., and others. It
was alleged Walker was q refugee from
Justice from Tennessee, where the Gov
erner had issued his proclamation Offering
q reward Of 800 for the apprehension Of n
person answering tho description Of Walk
er and one Watts. who stand charged with
having attempted the murder Of an old
gentleman and lady Of that State with the
intent Of robbery.
Walker was confined III Jail Monday
night, aud on the next morning was
brought before his Honor Judge Leigh on
writ of ha6e0S corpus. Messrs. +. X.
Harris, Of Mecklenburg. and Colonel +.
Barksdale, Jr., appearing as counsel for
the prisoner, and n. D. Nutting, Common
wealth's attorney, Tor the defence.
Upon the hearing Of the case 1t appeared
that the prisoner was illegally Through
defect Of the Justices aclion) detained in
custody, and his Honor thereupon ordered
the prisoners discharge.
Walker at once availed himself OF the
Judges order, walked out Of court, down
the street, across lots, and when last seen
by the bystanders was making splendid
time en- the Grubby road. All this walk.
ing scene occurred before q justice could
make out the necessary legal papers for the
arrest of the Walkist, and we presume be
will have made sufficiently good time as to
make his escape good.-Halitar Record.

The countless thousands Of readers
Of "Unclc Toms Cabin" will be inter

and surroundings under which the
great novel was written. Mr.. Fields
states some facts Of interest in regard
TO 1t. He writes
"Unclc Toms Cabin was wholly
prepared for the press in little
wooden house in Maine, from week to
week, while the story was coming out
in Washington newspaper. Most
of it was written by the evening lamp,
on pine table, about which tho
children of the family were gathered
together coming their various lessons
for tho next day. Amid the busy
hum Of earnest voices, constantly
asking questions of the mother, intent

A Sweet Adicu.

If there is more quiet and touch
ing argument against war, than may
be drawn from tho following little
episode of the Franco Prussian strug
gle, VIC have yet to see it:
a corporal Of the second regiment
Thuringian infantry, was ordered to
assist in burying the dead after tho
battle Of Woerth. He described tho
scene to his father in Germany, and
sent with his own letter which he
discovered in the hand Of French
captain, whom he found on tho field.
The letter read as follows
MY Dcur Pc Since you are gone
l never cease to think Of you. 1t is
so hard that can't see you and en-
brace you every morning, but | hope
that God will preserve your health
and that you may soon return and
kiss your child. l behaved very we'll
in order to make mama feel your alb.
sonce less. Adicu, deur pa | kiss
you tcuderly. Your daughter, who
loves you. MARGUERITE.
The brave soldier was evidently
comforted in his last hour of trial by
the dear words Of his darling, whom
he was never more to see in this life.
lie closed his eyes for tho last timo
on the field of honor, with her sweet
littlo letter in his hand.

The Safety Of DR.. Livingstone.

The fact was recently ann ounce
that Sir Rodcrick Murcuison had re-

question of the safety OF tho long.ab-
seut explorer, Livingstone. The fol-
lowing is from Sir Roderick's COM

81 heartily rejoice to announce to
tho public that have this morning
(January 24) received letter from
DR.. Kirk, Mt Zanzibar, dutcd the 9Th
of December, 1870, which has rclcv.
cd me from ull anxiety respecting
the fute Of my illustrious friend Liv.
iugstone. DR.. Kirk had just rccciv-
cd letter from the great Arab Shcik
Said, of Uny-amyembe, dated lG
Rcbea el Akbar, which, being trans-
lated: is to this effect "After COM
plimonts, your honored letter has
reached, and your friend has uuder-
stood it. The people (that is, Of q
caravan sent from Zanzibar) arrived
in good health, and are going on to
Ujiji to our friend the doctor. The
news Of him Is that he has not yet re-
turned from Mauimcs () the Arabic
word is spclt in three different ways,)
but we expect him soon, aud proba-
bly, he aud the people will rea ch Ujiji
at the same time DR.. Kirk adds
cat all events, on his arrival at Ujiji
from his Western journey, he will
have goods for present wants. The
new gang of men with fresh goods has
set out, and the road being free, VIC
may hope they will reach quickly and
