w cstWard sAO!

There was great hustle and excite
mcnt at the b. & o. r. r.. depot last
Monday on the arrival of a special
train from Weaverton containing
near two hundred passengers, from
the Cumberland Valley, destined for
the West. The cars brought here by
"a special engine were attached to the
regular eight o'clock train West.
We learn that there were some TWEEN
ty-five or thirty persons from this
and jefferson counties who joined
the eXcursionists and have gone to
seek their fortunes in the West. The
company consisted of men, women
and children, and looked as if they
were fully able to stand the hard
ships incident to lifeo the frontier.
Many Of them viii go to Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, while
some will go further toward

is no doubt that many of the West
ern States offer good inducements to
industrious young farmers who have
capital enough to purchase small
farms, and the muscle and brain to
work and manage them, but after
all if they are comfortably fixed here
they had better remain. 1t is no
light matter to break up old associa-
tions, leave kindred, friends and the
the old hearthstones, to seek new
homes and new associations in
stranger-lands. The excitement and
novelty of the journey will serve to
keep up their spirits during the trip,
but after they have settled down
among strangers, and find things
very different from what they mag
ined, then will their hearts turn
longingly to the home and friends
left behind, and the unbidden tear
dim many an eye. But a year or
two will bring forgetfulness of child
hood scenes, and all, let us hope,
will go merry as marriage bell. "

BABCOCK ACQUITTED.

Crooked whiskey as well as This-
key straight has laid out many men.
The public clamor for reform in Off
cial action has been so uncompro-
missing as to be careless and even I'M
just in its action. But cooler judg-
ment sometimes rights hasty action,
and though the press Of the country
has been blowing hot and cold on the
whiskey trial, still it has been re-
served to a jury OF the country,
under the most exciting and trying
circumstances, to render verdict in
accordance with facts stated, free
from all bias and prejudice. Bah
cock has been acquitted. Under the
evidence submitted by the prosecu-
ton, a conviction would have been
a high-handed outrage. That con-
spiracy was proved no one doubts,
but that Babcock was connected with
it, even in feeling, much less than by
a money interest, there isn't even the
formula of proof. He occupied 4
prominent position, received tele-
grams from government officials, an
swered them according to the degree
of his intimacy and his confidence in
the official integrity Of the sender,
and for that he has been tried and
his fair fame bruited about on the
tongues of doubly denounced lepers.
Because man, or woman either,
who may be guilty of immoralities
and welded to shame, finds it neces-
sary for the success of their designs
to appear to have the confidence Of
some virtuous lady, or some upright
man, and even entraps them into a
correspondence with them, is no rea-
son for adjudging them guilty of
lechery or yileness. Gen. Babcock
is to be congratulated for a reputa-
ton sufficient to establish his inno-
cence in the face of public clamor
and the efforts of criminal wit
