PARKERSBURG.
Lost Boy Found-Alleged Burg
lar Arrested - Capture OF
Kelley, alias ROsenbaum-The
Train Wrecker Held to Answer
Indictment.
PARKRRspuRG, Nov. Z.

PARKERSBURG, nov. 4.
Special dispatch TO the Register.
Matters in and about town have been
lively within the past few days.
Two nights ago Officer Fox captured a
number of tramps at the sand house OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and among them found boy
named William Reid, about thirteen
years of age, whom he identified as a
young fellow who ran away from his
parents at Martinsburg last April, and
was supposed to be dead. The boy
acknowledged his identity, and will be
sent home to his parents.
A man named Robert Sherman was
brought here on Wednesday night, on
the charge OF burglarizing the residence
of Dave Sans, in the New England set
tlement. In default OF bond, he was
sent down to await indictment.
A man who gave his name as O'Brien
was captured while in the act of cutting
the lines of the U. S. Signal lights at
Meals Island, the other night. Mr.. Ad.
Butcher, who caught him in the act,
took him prisoner, but he made his es-
cape from him before he had gotten to
his (Butcher's) house. A hue and cry
was raised, and O'Brien was finally run
down by VIM. Bell and several others.
He was brought in and given an exam-
ination to-day, in which it turned out
that he was the man who stole lot OF
wheat from Mr.. John Cook some time
since. He is also thought to be the
party who stole sacks from Mr..
John Saunders, and a watch from
Prater Greer, and is also suspected
of being implicated in the burning Of
VIM. Bells house, recently reported in
the REGISTER He was sent to jail in
default of bond in the sum OF 81 900,
This was evidently one Of the gang
who has been committing so many
theits and crimes in the immediate
neighborhood of tins city.
The preliminary examination of VI.
A. Tuttle, who, in a drunken frenzy,
caused the destruction OF two lOcOmO-
tives and the smash up OF train on
the b. Il o. X. r. few nights since,
ended in Tuttle being held to answer
indictment. Tuttle was certainly de-
mented at the time, and the principal
plea of his counsel was lunaCv.

Presidential Campaigning.

George Washington and his Cabinet
did not go about the country to intiu-
ence the elections by stump speeches.
Nor did Jefferson, Madison, the Adams

thing of the sort was commenced this
fall, and is still continued; this, We sup

Hath the printer some hidden grudge
against the writer of these veracious

unpropitious TO literary effort, adverse?
To one OF these two reasons alone can
the numerous typographical errors in
my last letter be assigned; indeed, the
sense was so altered, in some instances,
as to be almost uurecOgnizable even
to the writer. Thus it is with fear
and trembling that l commit this

OF Horace to Palinodia will be followed

Senator HamptOn's Speech.

The press of the State with almost
one accord, are strong in their en-
dorsemeht of Senator Hampton's last
speech in Congress. 1t was truly a
national speech, and Jour only regret
is, that it was not delivered earlier.
Senator Hampton, contrary to the pre-
dictions of an envious few, has taken
no inferior stand among the able and
distinguished Senators at Washing
ton. There is this about Hampton,
he is always equal to any emergency
and he has never failed to perform the
full measure of his duty in any ca
pacity. South Carolina is as proud OF
Hampton in the Senate as she was OF
him as her Governor.
