To" HARPER's FEREY.-By the courtesy
of Jas. ID. Butt, Esq, of Harpcr'S Ferry,
says the Spirit, we have been shown let
ter to the postmaster of that place, from
Col. Arson Mills, 10th U. ). Cavalry, in
curing in regard to the possibility Of Sc
curing conveniences for the establishment
of Cartridge Belt Manufactory ut that
place. Col. Mills has already Il large fac
tory of this character in Worcester, Mass,
but at present wants more room and pow
er to enable him to keep up with the de-
mands of his large and growing business.
He can readily find ut Harpcr's Ferry all
the room and power he may want, and in
addition will find in that community Il
large number of skilled mechanics whom
he can readily employ. The field, indeed,
is most inviting one for such an enter
prise and we hope that this cOrrespon-
dence, which will be replied to by COM
petent person, will result in Il visit to
Harper's Ferry by Col. Mills, and event
ually in the establishment there of Il
thriving manufactory hy him.

REPUTATION IN THIS STATE.-Tho
Wheeling Intelligencer. the leading re-
publican paper in this State takes Mr..
John b. Swami, of Kanawha county, to
task for writing a letter urging full
and complete population of the debt both
by Virginia and West Virginia. 1t says
Mr.. Swami certainly does not speak for
the people of West Virginia, in whom he
advocates, and declares that they do not
deny their liability for some portion OF
the Virginia debt. The Intelligencer
bames Virginia for not having given
West Virginia light on the subject of the
debt, althou gh appealed TO in that behalf.
The Intelligencer further says, Virginia
''has the records, and she has already
made an arbitrary ex parte assignment Of
it on the basis of territory" and does
not mean to give West Virginia any cred
it for the assets that fell to her share"

ED- The Revision Committee OF the
Legislature was in session for weeks
last Summer revising the code, and yet
it would seem that the work of this
committee will probably not amount to
much after all. The Register SAYS:
The committee has prepared and had
printed ready for submission to the
Legislature, about 200 pages of bills,
covering a revision of the Code left un-
revised at the last session, up to the
criminal department. If the Legisla-
ture determines to regard this as hay
ing passed the usual ordeal of reference
to and report from one of its regularly
constituted committees, it will be ready
at once 10 pass upon the bill; but if the
other course is taken, and tho bills of
the revisory committee are referred as ID
whole, to other committees, they will.
of course, require time, and the work of
the session will proceed very much as
at the opening of any other session, and
will not be much advanced by the work
of the revisory committee.

A collision occurred on the Hudson
River Railroad, near the Spuyten
Duyvil Junction, on Friday OF last
week, by which six or more persons
were killed and a number wounded.
One of The trains was crowded with
members of the New York Legislature
and politicians returning from Albany.
Rev. Francis Xavier Marichal, a Catho-
lie priest, aged Sc years, was killed.
Among the passengers were young
couple named Valentine, from Benning
ton. VI, who were married Thursday
evening and were on their wedding
tour. They were 10 years of age each.
and were accompanied by the grooms
father, A. Il. Valentine, who escaped
uniniured. The young couple might
have been saved but for the desperate
clinging OF the young bride to her hus-
band. Mr.. Valentine is a nephew OF
Hon. Trenor w. Park, and was in busi-
ness with his father, A. B. Valentine,
one of the weal,hcst citizens of South
ern Vermont. His wife was Miss Gay

were en- route to Florida on their bridal
tour. Senator Wagner, who was killed
was the inventor of the Wagner palace
car. Forty or more were injured.
There were at least five hundred pas
sergers on the train, and the horrors OF
the &C casicn were increased by the rear
cars taking fire. Some OF the occupants
were roasted to death in the sight Of
hundreds.
One Of the passengers states-"l
heard the cries OF woman at the rear
end of the car and found man and a
woman with their arms around each
other. The woman was crying: My
love, my love- Their legs were caught
between the flooring of the two cars
when they telescoped and though we
tugged with all our might ard main we
could not extricate them. Near them
was man whom we did not discover
until after some of us had stepped on
him. Then he shouted: Boys, throw
water Oh 10Y feel | never saw such a
hero in all my life. His arms were
burned to the shoulders and the clothes
we're burned from his back, yet he did
not utter groan, but directed us as
to the best way to get him out. lie
was held down by the bar OF the stove.
1t was afterwards discovered that the
man was Oliver b. Kelley, of Spring
City, Pa, and that the couple whom we
attempted to rescue first were Mr.. and
Mrs. Valentine, the bride and groom.

and when | recovered went in again.

ing TO previous notice the balloon pur-
chased of Thuber q Co., of New York,
by the June Bug Association of this
town, was put up from College Square,
on Saturday evening last about 8 o clock.
The ascension was grand success and
was witnessed by an immense crowd.
Criswell's Cornet Band was in atten-
dance and furnished music for the occa-
sion. The balloon assembled amidst the
explosion of fire works and meteors,
aud took an easterly direction, and was
witnessed by the large crowd autil out
Of sight. The following speech was
delivered Immediately before the ascen-
sion by ''Dinas" of the West End:
LADIES AND GENTLtMEN-The sub
ieet on which | wish to agitate yonr
mind this evening is various, Owing to
announcement we could not fulfill our
engagement on New Years eve, as we
had not the space TO manufacture bal
loon rs Professor Stevens has been run
ming his June Bug factory day and
night to meet the re4uisition made up
on him for his celebrated June Bugs,
Therefore we had TO order one from New
York city. You know that at the last
election of our city council the
question was raised of lighting our city
up with electricity, although it would
be cheaper with gas, for we have plenty
on hand, but they were to slow so the
citizens suck ont their own lamps and
later Hill came TO the front with one
too, but that state of affairs didn't last
long for it WASH two months
As was going up street one night
And seeing all the street lamps burning
bright,
Until | got to later Hill when everything
was dark
And it struck Inc right there and in my
mind
That later Hill had got behind.
You have heard of the rise and fall of
the wild cat insurance business; and
many felt the fall but few the rise, and
don't let it worry you. You say you
had no warning: will not be caught
again. What! had no warning; | say
you did, but you are Americans, known
to be the fastest gang on the face OF
the earth. Warning avails you not.
Heard You not the news as YOU were
gathered around the whirlpool of dis
traction in the holy precincts OF Ger
man street of the explosion Of the State
Capital and Laxawaxen, and did you
let it worry you; no indeed, you knew
sl2 TOR $1,000 was a big thing on ice,
but the ice wasn't strong enough for
the policy holders so they went through,
out the companies braced them up with
assessments, and don't you fail to tor
get it.
We have n man down on the Potomac,
Who went into the Insurance with crash
And thought he'd make a thousand cash,
And he paid up his assessment with cash
And he was just out in confederate
One hundred and fifty in cash.

s1~ DR.. Hartgrove was taken from
the Jail at Charlestown on Wednesday
OF last week, under the custody of Jail
or w. l.. Dalgarn and Deputy County
Clerk G.. ID. Moore, to Martiusburg,
and brought before Judge G. }. Faux
ner, Jr., on a writ of hn5eas corpm at
the evening session Of the Berkeley
Circuit Court, Hons. ID. B. Lucas and
Hughes and Jas ID. Bait, counsel for
the prisoner, Cleon Moore, Esq, acting
for the State. OF the result of the APP
plication the independent says:
The Judge refused the application,
upon the ground that the regular term
OF his court in Jefferson was distant,
and neither the health of the accused,
nor the condition OF the Jail seemed to
require his interposition. While his
Honor declined, from a sense of duty to
discuss The facts as disclosed by the
evidence, he expressed his unqualified
appreciation Of the legal proposition,
that an officer in the regular discharge
OF his duty, in good faith, is justified in
making an arrest when orGelcd. His
Honor defined very clearly the duties
aud rights of constables and town SER
geants, and declared that each officer,
when discharging his duty, must him
self judge Of the necessity and exigency
which might demand a resort to deadly
weapons, in the protection OF his own
person from death. violence or bodily
harm. While declining to bail; Judge
Faulkner directed the order 20 be
entered without prejudice to any future
application. The proceeding was con
Quoted at the cost of the State.
