NO MAGISTRATES.

Owing TO blunder in our legislation
there is not, nor has there been since
the 18th of October a magistrate in w.
Va; the gentlemen now acting are do
ling so without authority. No one in
this county has legal right 70 commit
murderer to prison: if the amount
claimed Is under $50, no one can issue
a distress warrant or attachment, &c,
&c
Tho blunder was this, the legislature
provided that the terms OF the officers
elected under the amendment should
commence on the first day of January,
while the repeal Of Art. s of the Con
stituiion took effect on October 18th.
Landlords who lose their rent, be
cause unable 10 scare tenants with dis
tress, will probably now see some wis
dom in our suggestion that We should
send to the legislature at least one man
who is competent to prepare law.
We advise persons to acknowledge
deeds, &c, before Notary Public or
county clerk, until after the lst of Jan
uary. JUNlUS.

sentiment on this subject, which, if it
did exist, would react upon the mem
bers of the Legislature and compti them
to do right. 1t is one of the most alarm
ing and distressing signs of the times,
that our newspapers carefully exclude
from their readers the information which
is necessary to enable them TO discrilni-
nate intelligently between the several
candidates for this office. We have
men fully qualified for the Senate, but
they are not the ones who are advertis-
ed by the press. We do not complain
of the papers, they have right to pub
lish that which is most remunerative;
they have right TO close their columns
against. and to shut out from the peo-
pie, that which a rich and liberal
candidate does not wish published. We
make no complaint, newspapers are
managed SO as to yield the most money!
we simply call public attention to the
fact, that very few of the papers of this
State will publish an article such as we
have written, aud the reason is, this ar
ticle will initiate against the chronic as
pirations of certain millionaires who ex.
pect to buy the honors OF political life
az they purchase the Injuries of their
table or wardrobe. We repeat, we do
not complain of the press, but we do
most earnestly urge our thoughtful citi,
zens, who have the good of this country
at heart, to exert their personal influence
to build up strong and healthy public
sentiment in favor of electing to the
Senate some competent man of approx
ed ability, and tried capacity, who will
be able 10 represent West Virginia with
credit and efficiency.

NAVIGATION OF THE POTO.
MAC RIVER.

NAVIGATION OF THE POTO.
MAC RIVER.
To Col. WIN. A. MORGAN, OF SHEPHERDS
TOWN, AND OTHERS:
The great commercial value and impor-
lance of slack-water Improvement Of
the Potomac river to the confluence Of its
north and south branches, and continu-
ance at least to Cumberland, at the outlet
of the semi bituminous coal trade, was
the just and favOrite conception of Gen.
Washington. He was the first to consider
the existence of the coal beds of the ALE.
ghanies and to anticipate this immense
prospective value. Had his original sug-
gestions been prosecuted, we should al
ready possess this great Improvement and
highway oftrade, to which Col. Morgan
has since directed the public attention.
1t seems very obvious to the enquirer into
this subject, that the Potomac river can
be thus improved, at q moderate cost, to 4
capacity for boats of 300 Tonnage, propelled
by steam, and that its main tributaries,
the Shenandoah and South Branch are
also capable of siack-water improvement
for considerable distances INLAND. lfyou
for moment contemplate the possible
ties of such an Improvement, in the vast
trade they would accommodate, in coal,
lumber, grain and various resources OF
internal wealth, its utility will be ut once
apparent. 1t will command great re-
sources of Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania. 1t will be fed
by railroads, for every railroad from the
Atlantic ports, north of Washington,
md ~ NJ
nectiOns must cross Potomac river, and II
will develop vast industries and resources
of wealth, that may all demand it.
1t belongs to those great nationa!
works that the General Government
should undertake. Congress has eXpend-
! cd large sums, wisely and beneticially
perhaps, in improving the great Kanawha
and Monongahela and other rivers, for
| the benefit of internal commerce; yet the
| Improvement of the Potomac river from
Washington to Cumberland, and Of Its
principal tributaries, in its beneficial i'm
portance, perhaps exceeds them all
Would it not be we'll to invite the atten-
ton of our able and interchangeable Senators
| Hereford and Davis, our representatives
! in Congress, as well rs those of Maryland
Virginia and Pennsylvania, to this sub
! jcct; and obtain Il survey and report upon
the proposed Improvement by US. TO.
pog. Engineers detailed for the purpose
by the War Department? Such survey
provided for by Congress, could be com
| plcted in the next summer, ami embrace
rcconnoisances of Shenandoah, South
Branch and North Branch to Kcyser OIL
Piedmont. That this great. practicable
and much needed Improvement deserve:
the direct patronage and immediate attcn,
ton of the General Government, there
can be no doubt. The work might cal
for au expenditure of 100000 annually
until completed. An appropriation OF
$40, 900 ought to complete the reconnoi
sance, survey and report, and prepare fol
the future action of Congress. y cana
around the Big Falls ought to be provided
| for at once. ANXIOUS.
