ENDORSING THE PITTSBURGH
SOUTHERN.

Resolutions endorsing the extension
of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia
Southern railroad were introduced in
the Pittsburgh Chamber Of Commerce,
yesterday.
In advocacy of the enterprise and by
way OF showing its great advantages, Mr.
HorEIxs called attention to the fact that
from Harger's Ferry to Cincinnati there
is no road running North and South.
Said he. 'the Northern SeabOard cities,
not content with ocean facilities, have
constructed lines OF railroad to the
South, and the Western cities have wed
with each other in trying to secure that
trade. Here is 4 gap of about 100 miles
without a single railroad or other means
of traffic connecting Pennsylvania with
the south. \ glance at the map will
show you that to reach Virginia, West
Virginia. North and South Carolina and
East Tennessee YOU must make 4 circuit
around the mountains.
The Pittsburgh Southern railway with
its connections will penetrate the very
heart of this country, now unknown to
us in a business way, and will make
large population become our customers,
because the line oftravel will be shorter
and rates OF freight lower than to any
other city of supplies. BY this ronte
We will reach 100000 Of people who
are now entire strangers TO our mer-
chants and manufacturers. To secure a
portion of this trade, the city OF Cincin-
natl has invested in railroad leading
South about Sl7, 900, OOO.'
- lie read from report OF especial COM
missioner Of West Virginia upon the
character and productions OF the State,
showing its great wealth, and stating
that very few who have not given the
subject special attention have any cor
rect idea of the statistical resources Of
West Virginia.
The extension of the road to the West
Virginia line is already certainty, and
if the people of our State take hold OF 1t
as anticipated, we will soon have route
opened through the centre Of the state
that will put a new face upon Ouriuture.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

The Enterprise uses the following sensible
endorse: '.After cropping round for a number
of Seasons, General Miles has fallen upon the
only feasible plan for winding up the Indian
war He has imprisoned a number of half
breeds at Fort Peck on the charge of selling
arms aud ammunition to the Indians. Be-
sides, he proposes to put under surveillance
every frontier store, every train and wagon
and every trader, and when any one connec-
ted with these is caught providing the In-
dians with arms or ammunition, he will be
marched out of the country That is the
right course. When Il man furnishes these
Indians with the means Of murder, he is
murderer, and really he should oe shot on
the spot These traders are in the main
responsible for most of the Indian wars.
But for them these savages would not be
armed, and but for their arms they wouId
not engage III killing the white settlers. Ii
General Miles will but pursue this policy
during the balance of this season he will
work Il radical cure Of what are called frontier
evils. Disarm the red devils, and shoot the
traders who Sell arms and ammunition, and
the thing is done;' and we add, keep a sharp
eye On Indian agents. II We are compelled
to furnish supplies for Indians who will not
be civilized, let us see that the supplies are
furnished as promised. Indians will be beg
CARS, but that is no reason why we should be
thieves.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE's OPINION OF Wo-
MEN. He had a morbid antipathy to all blue
stockings, but he had high esteem for wo-
men who fulfilled their social duties Madame
de Stael once said to him:
at is reported that you are not very par
tial to the ladies"
Il am very fond of my wife, madame" was
his lacnnic reply.
A lady of rank once said to him, "What is
life worth if one cannot be General Bona
partel" Napoleon answered her wisely: Ma
dame, one may be dutiful wife and the
good mother of a family"
OF the social Influence of a captivating wo-
man he expressed himself when he said: II
conquer provinces, but Josephine wins hearts 4"
OF the moral power of woman in molding
the rising generations, Napoleon gave his
opinion in the following memorable declara-
ton to French Senator: France needs
nothing So much to promote her regeneration
AS good mothers"
He had profound respect for virtuous and
exemplary mothers. His own mother, Lett
tia Rtmnlini, married in her seventeenth year
to Charles Bonaparte, an advocate in AjacciO,
woman of rare virtues and qualities,
though her educ ltirn was Imperfect. From
her sprang race of kings and queens who
changed the face of Europe, upturned the
Oldest dynasties, and inau 5urated the modern
era
