THE BIRTH OF CHARLEsTOWN.

The following Act Of the Virginia Legis-
lature, passed in October, 1856, is the origin
of Charlessown. The exact day of the pas.
sage of this Act does not appear. It was
passed, however, in October, at session
which commenced on Monday, the sixteenth
day of that month, and may be found in 18th
Herring's Statutes at Large, page $40. The
Act is in these words:
F "CHAP. Xxx.
".An Act to establish tolcn on the lands of
Charles Washington, in the County of
Berkeley:
''Bs it enacted by the General Assembly,
that eighty acres of land, the property of
Charles Washington, lying in the county of
Berkeley, be laid out in such manner as he
may judge best, into lots of half an acre each,
with convenient streets, which shall be, and
is hereby established a town, by the name of
Chsrlestown. That John Augustine Wash>
ington, Robert Rutherford, William Duke,
James Crane, Cato Moore, Bepjamin Rankin,
Msgnus Tate, Thornton Washington, William
Little, Alexander White, and Richard Ram
some, gentlemen, are hereby appointed trus-
tees of the said town, and that they, or ma
jority of them shall have full power from time
TO time, to settle and determine all disputes
concerning the bounds of the lots, and to
establish such rules and orders for the regular
building of houses thereon, as to them shall
seem best and in case of the death, removal
out of the county, or other legal disability,
of any one or more of said trustees, it shall
be lawful for the remaining trustees to elect
and choose others in the room of those dead
or disabled, and the person or persons so
elected, shall be vested with the same powers
and authority as any one in this Act partic-
ularly appointed. So soon as the purchasers
or owners of lots within the said town shall
have built thereon dwelling house, sixteen
feet square, with brick or stone chimney,
such purchaser and owner shall be entitled to,
and have and enjoy, all the rights, privileges,
and immunities which the freeholders and
inhabitants of other towns in this State, not
incorporated, hold and enjoy"
Nine years hence, perhaps, the public
mind of Charlestown will be exercised on the
subject of Centennial Celebration.

TIE STRIKE OF TIE BROTHERHOOD OF
ENGINEERs.-Aluding to the strike of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on the
Reading railroad, the Philadelphia Bulletin,
in its local columns, says:
1.-The strike virtually ended some time ago,
and some of the employees of the company
3hoare now without situations in consequence
of their Enthusiasm on behalf of tile Brother
hood, now complain bitterly that the prom
Uses held out to them have not boon fulfilled.
These men can never obtain employment
again from the company. General Manager
Wootten said last evening: Il had on my
Office table in Philadelphia to-day between
], 500 and ], 600 applications for positions on
the road, of which 500 were from engineers.
l do not fear any further trouble from our
employees. The road is running smoothly,
and we have not had single accident caused
by our new men,
Abiding editorialiy to the result of the
strike tho Bulletin says:
"The general opinion here is that it is over
now. The places of the discharged engineers
have boon filled, and filled by men who are
to be retained permanently. A more hope
less case for strikers probably was never pre-.
sented."
AS contemporary remarks, these are poor
times for strikes among laborers. With
thousands of skilled mechanics out of work,
and NO demand for their labor, for those to
strike who have situations, is insanity. There
are too many hungry mouths and willing
hands ready to 1.-THE places thus made vacant,
A meeting of the citizens of Martinsburg
was held on Thursday night last, to take &C
ton in regard to the approaching Capital
election. The independents report of the
proceedings says:
"Andrew Hunter, Esq, of Jefferson
county, being present, was called on and
made q speech full of encouragement to the
friends of Martinsburg. He believed that
thorough organization and active canvass in
behalf of Martinsburg would result in Civ
ing her the capital and his opinion was based
on information from various parts of the State.
He believed that with little effort the solid
and unanimous vote of Jefferson could be
gotten out in favor of Martinsburg. He por
trayed forcibly and in practical manner the
decided advantages of Martinsburg over her
competitors as point for permanent location.
His remarks were we'll received"

LETTER FROM HARPER'S FERRY.

Here is a part of the grandest scenery in
America. The Potomac, the Shenandoah,
and the mountains above them, seem to have
couspircd (if | may use the term) to make
this the attractive spot it is. And, if they
have a consciousness or heart, how for ages,
must they have enjoyed, and still enjoy the
Admiring and reverent gaze of human eyes.
Jefferson thought the grandeur of this place
a theme worthy his pen, and left an article
for the books of ''choice selections" which is
read to- day with undated interest and enjoy
meut by the generation that now live after
him. And it seems to me Gas spring in the
fruitful field) after reading the Declaration of
Independence, also his work, at the fount of
this piece a refreshing draught for any brain
might be had.
It was here our late fraticidal war had its
inception. Here Brown, in his frcnzied phi
lanthrophy, attacked the people of the South
and struck down some of her best people ere
he could be made to atone for his crime upon
the gaIows. And Col. Washington, a rel
alive of the Father of his Country, was even
for time his prisoner and hostage.
l might continue these "reminiscences, but
have not the time. l would beg to say, how>
ever, that what meets the eye OF the visitor
and resident amid this scenery, and awakes
tHuuSHt, are Tue THMS ~ We tdte CHUCu
States Armory. Twelve years of peace have
elapsed, and 10 the interim we have heard
much said about building up the waste places
of the South. Why not, then. begin hero.
Why should not this government, by whose
hand this Armory was destroyed, now that
the purpose of its destruction has been sub
served, with that same hand replace the work
It now has the opportunity to replace, at least
one link in the chains that have bound these
States together, and give an indication to the
South, thereby. of confidence and good will
indeed. More anon.
