Marshall County Advocate.
We are In receipt of the Advocate of Saturday
last, for which we are indebted TO friend, our
copy not having come to hand, owing TO some unac
countabie accident, and in 1t we find rather more
than column devoted to a response to playful
article, which appeared in our local column few
days since. We are thankful to the Advocate for
its kind and respectful attention, aud are pleased
to be able 10 say that the Advocate is always SO
far as we have Observed courteous in his notice of
other papers and we are pleased always to have to
deal with such conduct. We think that the worthy
editor of the Advocate has really backed out of
all IN his first article, to which we alluded. We
never made any charge, except to the Pittsburgh
agency, the design Of which was, not to induce
travellers to stop al Grave Creek, but induce them
to go on 10 Pittsburgh. The Advocate joins us in
condemnation of such an agency as that to which
we alluded, so that he has proved himself out of
court and shown most conclusively that his first
article was gratuous and uncalled for. We have
not the notice Of the Intelligencer of this agency
by us at present but If we remember it correctly
ourpaper made no alluSon whatever to Gravel Creek
OF to passengers stopping there. If passengers pre-
fer stopping in the ..Neck of the Woods and
shipping from that point, we certainly are willing
that they should exercise their own judgment in
the matter and take the consequences.
As to the important motives which induced the
''hrst of our boats TO leave his wharf,' we really
do not think it concerns us enough to authorize
us to tsouble Capt. Mason about it, and we leave
this solution to the Advocate. ALI of our boats
we doubt not. will leave their passengers at Grav-
creek, lis that the right name,) or on the .'dvdng
RIDGE" whenever they are belated and only in such
an emergency. This all right and proper, and
scannot bring ourselves to object to such pro-
cedure. As to the ardency of the Advocate in
advocating the interestso of the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road, we are pleased with ii, and hope with
to see this line well patronized by the public aud
by way of Wheeling.
We COME now to Captain Parker, W no, it seems,
has been promoted since the last issue of the Ad-
vocate. That the Advocate knows something about
this gentleman is certain, but what that something
Is we are left to conjecture. We know nothing OF
this gentleman, and Shall say nothing of him, ex-
-cept that We should take him for a Hybrid, from
the description of the Advocate, to whom CDpiai,.
Parker Is doubtless under lasting obligations Tor
notoriey at least (of what kind we shall not say)
We cheerfully accept the amendment suggested by
the Advocate 10 tie "pathetc language of the
Inteligencer," aad shall expect Parker henceforth
to eAclam, 'Save me from my 1eas," though we
ferring that Parker should make the latter excla-
nation rather than the pathetic suggested by the
Intelligencer. Parker, then, when about to "fall"
would doubtless draw his robes decently about him.
make his peace 'twith all below" &c., turning his
last lingering glance at the kind friend, who has
gwen him notoriety; with the DIRE AIDED memories of
the past crowling over and around him; with the
sad consequences of mistmed publicity incumbent

dark future before him, would exclaim, 'tSave me
frum my tleas,'' and then his spirit would pass
away forever. Alas, Poor Yorick!
Oh! 1t would 5e sad and gloomy momen Il
and one which would doubtless leave the Ad-
Tocate more sad and gloomy than ever. And
then that epitaph! What would it be? But we
wait the progress of the writer. suggesting merely
that If an inquest should be held over Parker the
verdict of the jury should be-"Came to his death
by the rashnsss of his friends, The aeas." But we
pass from the sad reflections suggested by the "ast
hours OF Parker" requesting the Advocate rot to
let his dying declarations' be heard by Others as
we should not like 10 have Tie worthy editor tried
for murder. By the way, the Advocate must be
found o: the flea subject. We never could catch
them as they are like l,dies. "ius put your finger
almost upon them and they are not there" Which
Is inc h2ldeF 10 catchI Can the Advocate answer
hatqueston along with the reserved ones.
But we must close our notice of the Advocate
merely remaIking that the Advocates answer 10
our depot question, while large enough is not yery
satisfactory. We were in the "neck of tue
woods" some few weeks ago, and came near freez
ing waiting on platform of doors for the CARS
and finally could stand it no longer and had 10 go
tothe river aud take boat. We will vary our
question little then, and ask the height and ex.
act condition of the depot. There is certainly
ground enough in The answer of the Advocate, but
we shonld like 10 know whether it is covered. We
would be glad if the Advocate would tell us which
one name we should use in speaking of ths
place" as we have no 'hassps'' of knowing which
is1he Dsst.
