CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The fearful increase of murders leads
one to reflect upon the common practice of
carrying concealed weapons. What can be
done to prevent it? Are our present laws
sufficient? 1t is high time to consider
these questions seriously. We regard the
practice of carrying concealed weapons as
cowardly and mean in the highest degree.
If a man is really in danger of assault let
him openly carry such weapon as he needs.
There can be no disgrace in doing whatever
is essential to personal safety. Nothing
would tend more powerfully to exhibit the
defective protection of the laws, and to
induce reform, than for everybody
who is in danger of personal
assault, or conceives himself to be, to
appear armed on the streets. Then inno-
cent by-standers would have some fair
warning that the vicinity of such people
was liable at any time to become battle
ground. Every week nearly brings us ac-
counts of street shootings, in which neutral
parties are quite as likely to suffer as the
principals of the fight. We want better
public sentiment upon this subject, and
rigid laws against concealed weapons. A
man who begins shooting in a public place
ought to be severely punished, and il the

death of innocent parties ensues, he ought
to be held guilty of murder.
The deaths and serious wounds inflicted
In this manner returned as accidental, would
make and appalling list. While this prac-
tice continues no man, woman or child is
safe anywhere.
Familiarity with weapons too frequently
begets carelessness and a willingness to use
them on triaing occasions. So grows up
savage and bloodthirsty temper, reckless of
human life. Let us unite TO urge the dis
armament of private citizens, as of nations,
and aid in securing the advent of an age of
reason and fraternity, in which he shall be
most honored who most strictly respects
the rights and feelings of others. This is
the surest indication of true courage. The
true Knight is he who scorns to fight on
small occasions, and who cares little for
small weapons who appeals to the laws
to redress wrongs, except in the last resort;
who will suffer long before he overturns
the sacred barriers which ages have reared
by lawless violence. Let all unite in this
good work to discourage the wearing Of
concealed weapons, and thus promote the
general sense of security, and save valuable
| lives, rNNl

legitimate and proper in itself,) but that he
refuses to answer the questions propound-
cd by the onmittee-question that are
clearly within their province to ask. As to
their confidential matter' or s'priv-
LEGGED character" We have already
disposed of that. As lobbyist he
has no such shield to interpose.-
AS lawyer, retained to appear be-
fore any of the standing committees of the
House, for advice and direction in ques-
ton of law, or to prosecute or defend
against claim, or otherwise professionally
manage case, he might have such shield,
and rightfully interpose it. As it is, he
has none.
But Mr.. jenkins interposes his plea to
the jurisdiction too late in the day, even if
such plea were admissible in his case.
The plea should have been made when he
first appeared before the committee in re-
Spouse to their summons, and not after he
had so far recognized their authority as to
make "clean breast of it" before them.
Pleas of this sort were formerly required to
be made, in Virginia, before imparlance--
before the defendant had time to talk or
converse with his opponent, with view to
amicable adjustment. TWAS the first thing
to be done after entering an appearance !;
not the last thing after hearing.
AS to the power of the General Assem-
bly, to inquire judieially into these alleged
frauds and corruptions, we may give further
consideration in our next issue.

It's probable that the destinies of the new
States will be largely influenced by COM
munities settling under some form of or
ganized colonization. The advantages of
such systems arc the simultaneous occu-
pancy of the lands, the transplanting of a
whole neghbolhood at one time, with all
the comforts and conveniences of civiliza-
ton intact; the reduction of cost of trans
portation, in the purchase of implements,
supplies, stock, &C., in large quantities at
wholesale; the intelligent direction of pub
lie affairs, and control of school lands, &C.,
within the colony.
We may consider that the Oldest success
fully organized colony was that of the Pill
grims, who landed on Plymouth Rock, and
sowed in that rigorous clime--on that desc
late soil--the seeds of mighty Republic !!
Turning from this harsh picture, we may
look upon the youngest organized colony,
planted just one year since, in the
Western wilderness. This infant COM
munity have already built up a city
Of five hundred families; have estab-
lished churches, schools, a newspaper,
hotels, stores, factories, and farms, and
manifest an executive vitality that will soon
place it among the best Of important towns
Of the West. They have named their
place in honor of one of the great leaders
in this, as in other movements of human
progress, and it is already known-the
world over-as the City Of Greeley, Col
orddo. aaa..
All that has been successfully accom-
plished at Greeley may be done elsewhere.
We hope, and expect soon to see, thou
sand such prosperous and thriving towns
springing up in the valleys and along the
hillsides Of Virginia.
