SCARCITY OF SILVER.

The scarcity OF silver coin is at present
attracting good deal Of attention both in
this country and Europe. The withdrawal
Of this coin from circulation has been
going on for some time in this country,
and several descriptions have become so
scarce that considerable premium is OBJ.
tanned by the brokers, especially for Mex
lean and Spanish dollars. We notice that
an increased coinage of gold dollars, half
eagles, and eagles, is supplying this scar
city. The London Times, in an article
on the same subject, says: -
"That in proportion as silver comes to
be displaced by gold in countries where it
has hitherto been in extensive circulation,
its further'relative rise will be checked, be.
cause its uses, and the consequent demand
for it, will be diminished. A decrease in
the intrinsic value of each metal may then
be looked for, although not in equal pro-
portions; and the only way in which it will
be possible that this fall can be traced
thereafter will be by ascertainlng from time
to time the general exchangeable relation
between Them and other commodities, so as
to compare the purchasing power Of both
with what it was at former periods"
1t is stated that Wall street is almost
barren of the commodity; half dollars are
quoted at two per cent. premium, and
Mexican dollars are at premium of S
per cent.

terity, because we believe that much de-
pends, for veal or for woe, on proper and
right determining of this great question.
We believe that forcible resistance to the
law should not be thought Of for a mo-

of repeal be agitated until the Congress Of
of the United States shall see and know
their error, and repeal or amend it. But
forcible resistance to the execution Of a

LAND WARRANTS.

A Washington letter in the New York
Herald says:-
"a curious case of the location of a
land warrant is reported here. An old
soldier, in the full acceptation OF the word,
living at Harper's Ferry. being entitled to
100 acres of land for his services in the
army, according to the bounty land law
of the last session, for the sake of conve-
nience. located his "patent right on a
tract of government land unoccupied, or
in some way open to location, at Harper's
Ferry. He had consulted one of the ablest
lawyers on the subject, whose opinion is
that the old soldier will getthe land, which
is said to be, from its location. worth at
least s15O,OOO. 1t is to be hoped that,
between him and Uncle Sam, the land will

REAppElRANCE OF THE CHOLERA.

The cholera appears to have broken out
simultaneously in several points at the
South and West. The New Orleans
Courier says it has broken out with great
fatality in Gainesville, on Pearl river--the
first time it ever appeared in the pine woods.
1t is also reported that the cholera exists
to some extent in Franklin parish, Loui-
siana. The Planters Lay Banner re-
ports the death of nine negroes, from the
same disease, on the plantations in that
vicinity. At Selma, Alabama, two per-
sons have died of cholera recently; and
near Summerield, in the same State, a
Mr.. Glass, Mrs. King, and one Of her
slaves, have been attacked with the same
malady. The steamer Amazonia, at St.
Louis on the 9th, with 800 German emf
grants from New Orleans. lost thirty pas
sengers by cholera during the passage up.
The steamer Columbus, also with emf
grants, lost twelve by cholera during the
trip up. The steamer Duchess, at Lou
isvlle on the 9th, from New Orleans, had
five deaths by cholera among the deck pas
sengers, and tho Gulnare had the same
number.

and may be able to erect decent jail in

also be in funds to build new court

will not interfere with any or all Of these
considerations. All that we ask 10 fair

The erection Of the county of"Worth"
will not, either, add to the taxes Of the
farmers Of the territory proposed to be
made of said county. The town of Mat

scribed, in good faith and under solemn
obligation, the sum of seven thousand dol

DREADFUL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

OhEhDr UL 81 EAM bOAI EAfLOSlON.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 13, P. M.--The
new and beautiful steamer Anglo Norman
went out on an experimental trip to-day,
with large pleasure party, consisting Of
two hundred and ten souls on board. AT.
ter she had proceeded some distance, and
as learn, was returning to the city, to-
wards evening, her boilers exploded,
greatly shattering the boat, and killing
and wounding large number. From
seventy-five to one hundred persons are
numbered, as far as at present ascer-
tanned, among the killed, wounded, and
missing.
Mr.. Perry, a gentleman attached 10 the
Office of the New Orleans Bulletin, was
one of the party, and lost his life by the
fatal disaster He was gentleman we'll
known and much esteemed. Mr.. Kidd,
of the Daily Crescent, and Mr.. Blgna, of
the Delta, were wounded, but not serious.

Mr.. Storm of the New York Novelty

Captain Amnibol, and Captain Thomp-
son, Of the ship Lexington, and others,
were badly injured.
The Hon. Junius Beebe, member of
the State Senate, was on board, and is be.

1t is impossible yet to ascertain the pre-

is that they cannot vary much from one

THE wAYNEsBURG MESSENGER.

This mammoth paper, which by the way
usually contains less reading matter than
the "Spirit," and OF which the editor of
the Messenger speaks as "a certain little
paper" comes to us this week with two
articles for our especial benefit. He starts
out by seeming to wonder at our presump.
ton and want of modesty in attacking
paper OF the giant dimensions of the "Mes-
senger." Wonderful, isn't it? Perhaps
the editor never ventures into the streets
Of Waynesburg, without covering his face
with vail, lest the vulgar eye might hap
pen to gaze upon his august visage.-
He next asserts an untruth by saying that
we took "umbrage at some remarks en-
ployed by him week or two since, relative
to the resolutions of meeting held at
Stafford" 1t was not what he said Of the
meeting or its proceedings, but what he
said of us for publishing the proceedings,
that caused us to write what we did. The
members of the Stafford meeting could de-
fend themselves from his puny attacks if
they thought it necessary. m
Again he says" ,"the editor ofthe esprit"
boasts of 1900 democratic majority in
Monroe county, and yet, when he was a
candidate for the State Legislature. better
than a year since, he was defeated by a
very decided majority" Now whatinfer-
ence does the messenger" wish its read.
ers to draw from its language? Why.
that we were defeated by whig -else
why speak Of the democratic majority in
this county, When he penned his article
| he knew that we were defeated by DEM
ocrat on a local question, and that there
was no whig candidate on the track, and
yet he can, be guilty Of such prevarica-
ton and petty n,eanness. As the above is
fair specimen of the candor and truth

only say to him as the man said when the

the projects now before the Legislature

assertion or admission.

A REPLY TO "MALAGA."

Your correspondent is correct in his as
sertion, that. new county will eventually
be made out Of the four projects now be-
fore the Legislature. One county will un-
doubtedly be established, either at this or
some subsequent session; and it behooves
the citizens Of Woodsfield lis not "Mala.
ga'' one Of themY to consider which Of
these four, to which he alludes, will least
affect the permanency of Monroe county,
as to its present county seat.
Either of the Noble claims, or Freeland,
would leopard the existSnce Of Woodsfield
as the permanent county seat. Worth
county settles the question, by securing it
aOhere ii noso IS! Does not every common
sense man in the territory admit this as a
settled fact? We leave it to the two No
bles, and to Freeland, to take care Of their
own interests in whatever may seem OBJ
iectionable in the communication of "Mal-
aga" One object is to spread before the
citizens of Monroe and Washington coun-
ties, our reasons for demurring to the new
county of "Worth" being placed in the
same scale of condemnation, upon which
malaga" piles his condemnation and OBJ
lection 10 the other claims 10 which he
alludes.
"Malaga" makes his strongest demon
stration, Gin fact his only one,) in this
shape: "A reason assigned" writes he,
"for some of the projects is, that their
establishment will cause the removal oi
the county seat Of Monroe to the river, OF
make new county seat there, and there.
by create better markets for the farmer y
We of "Worth" county agree with
Malaga" that there is ''no force in this
reason whatever" so far as "Worth'
county is concerned; for our measure will
put Monroe county into such proper
shape as necessarily to leave Woodsfield
as the only convenient point for the seal
of Justice. And If the merchants of Woods.
field do, as "Malaga" says, "always pay
as much for produce, deducting the differ
ence for carriage, &C.," why, then. there
can be no fear of any point supposed to
be fixed upon by us of"Worth" county
such points being on an average twenty
miles at least from Woodsfeldl
This being the case, friend Morris, isl

that .'it is only those who live in the i'm

ass kicked him; We consider "the source
