Point Pheasant;

E. w. Newton, Esq, editor of the Ka.
nawha Republican, thus speaks of the
town of Point Pleasant, Va, which he
visited short time since:
"Point Pleasant, at the junction of the
Kanawha with the Ohio, is a place not
unknown in history. Herein 1874, was
fought what has been regarded by many
as the first battle of the REVOLUTIONARY
connected with it are many historical
events Of interest. 1t is rightly named
it is naturally a pleasant and lovely
spot. Here mingte the waters flowing
from North dCarofnas Through Virginia
with the mighty streams of the great Mis-
sissippi Valley. Thousands have stood
upon this point of land, and with emotions
of wonder and delight contemplated this
natural connection OF the Atlantic with
the boundless west, and at the same time,
with profound establishment, that the
great State Of Virginia has not awaited
herself of this wise and bene6cent pro-
vision Of The God Of Nature, to secure
that vast and ever increasing trade that
would, ere this time, have made her great
and prosperous. s'- .".. .zs" ~ I'd.
While Point Pleasant is very far from
being place of that magnitude and bust
ness, her position and resources would
warrant, it is improving. There is no
want Of capital, but, we think. there is a
want of an enlightened public spirit OF
improvement among her citizens. A new
fine brick Court House is in progress OF
completion. Messrs. Capehart & Smith
are erecting q large porkhouse 20 by Is
feet. two stories. Our old friend Kline,
we learn, designs putting up next season,
hotel that will be creditabIe to the place.
Mr.. James Capehart. for many years, has
done heavy business in the manufacture
of -four. The place being the point OF
outlet for large wheat growing country,
we do not see why the manufacture OF
flour may not be extended to very great
extent"
