WEsr MrLFoRD, va, Jan. 10, 1855.
& Mr.. Editor 81 understand that at the
December term Of our county court. there
was an order passed to open poll at the
ensuing spring election. to ascertain whe-
Their the people of this old county of Har-
rison are in favor of the court granting Ii
cense to sell whiskey or not. Now, Mr..
Editor, as one among the humblest citi-
zens of the county, would ask what does
this augur? Does not every body in the
county know that this thing has been tried
as fairly and honorably as it ever can
hope to be, and was there not found 'astri-
lumphant majority in favor OF Temperance
and no license Why. then, act this
child 's play with the people of this coanT
ity, by having them to repeat their wishes
over time and again 1t, looks to me that
this is. about the idea. You are aware
that the time to grant licenses next Spring
will come before the election, and having
this order standing on the books will be
some kind of pretext for them to disre=
lgard the expressed will of the people, and
again let loose those destroyers, off the
peace of the constantly for another year.
! Let me suggest to those OF our county court
who have settheir faces againstthis thing,
and ask them whether they will stand by
and see the peoples rights and wishes dis
Regarded, and hope and pray that you
will prevent the granting of licenses until
the vote is taken again on that subject;
land if we have again tot tell those rnagis-
trates what the will ofthe people is. j do
hope that all the friends of temperance
and good order will not spare time or tai

The general banking law requires that tw 0

every year; and accordingly, Pinckney s.
Arnett. whose health is not very good, and
John G. Pitcher were dropped from the
old list. VIM. Hood, who will prove to
De an excellent director. and Festus c.
Pitcher were elected in stead of the two
retiring directors. So that the Board now
consists of Messrs, John Chisler, Presi-
dent; Benjamin Fleming. N. G. Cooper
Aaron Hawkins, Dr.. w. D. Eyster, T. F,

SEVERE SToRM.-A severe storm passed
over this country on Sunday night. the
21st inst, prostraLing trees, fences, &C.,
in every direction. This storm appears
to have passed over an incredible extent
of country. A despatch from Chicago
says;
"The most furious storm of wind and
snow within the memory Of the oldest in
habitant prevailed here all day yesterday
To-day it is clear and cold"
It's effects were felt as far east as Con
cord, where the snow is now very deep
The New York Express says: l
"We learn Of no serious damage caused
by the storm; but We fear that the gale
may have proved disastrous to vessels on
the coast, as the wind blew Immediately
on shore.
"Tho Park this morning is stremn with
small branches and twigs blown off from
the trees, and the iron railing on Broad
way is in one place broken down by the
fall of large tree which was literally up
rooted and Frustrated by the wind"
In Philadelphia house was blown
down. The local columns of the Balti
more papers are filed with the accounts
Of the disasters from the storm, both in
the bay and in the city.

For the Reo;ster.

! Mr.. EDITOR AS the time is fast aD-
preaching when we shall be- called upon
to select IA suitable person to represent US
IN the next Legislature Of Virginia, it is
right and proper that we should express
our wishes and bring forward the person
Of our choice in time. There are many
in this district Richie and Peasants
who would make worthy and valuable
members. But wish TO bring before the
voters of Peasants and Richie, the name
OF young man who has been raised
amongst uS-whose sympathies and fee5
ln5s are intimately associated with the
! peOple--a young man of honesty, intepri-
ty and so6riely-and is in every respect
capable of dlscharging The duties devoly-
ing upon legislator. He is we'll known
to nearly every voter 10 the district as u
man capable of transacting any kind Of
business, and is emphatically the people 5
IavOrlte. | refer TO Mr.. E. a. SHELrox.
Mr.. Shelton has been engaged. for the last
four or live years, in public business, up,
en- the faithful and honest discharge OF
which every citizen Of Richie county was
directly or indirectly concerned, and more
general satisfaction could not have been
rendered by any man in Virginia. His
capacity, honesty, industry, perseverance
and business qualifications are best known
by those he has done business for.
Mir. S. has always conducted himself
with decorum; and in every social and
moral reform, in every benevolent enter
prize, in all acts Of generosity, he is ever
amongst the foremost. The friends of the
temperance reform would do we'll to Sc
cure the election of Mr.. Shelton. He has
ever been strong advocate of the tenn
Psrance cause. He hes always held to
the doctrines as advocated by the Demo
cratic party, and has rendered valuable
service in the Democratic cause. I hope
his claims may be considered, and the
people manifest their appreciation of his
worth by electing him 10 tie next Legis-
lature of Virginia. R1TcH1E.

@WelI, well. our Know. NOTHING

EVWell, well, our Know Nothing
neighbor over the way is ga fellow of in
finite jest, and won! to set the tablesin a
roaf." A more humorous defence and
definition Of PERSONS position we never
saw given, than is contained in his last pa
pur. He says we do not. or will not IN
,5erstand his position, and in the same par
asraph virtually assents to the position we
had placed him III. He caves in-ac-
knowledges his own "mutability." but en-
deayors to excuse himself for his alliance
with the Wing and Know-Nothing organ
i2ation, upon the ground that every body
else has changed-that there has been ga
contagious mutablity." Verify, "Crih."
is a good fellow.
But, seriously, we would ask our friend
of the Age OF Progress, how a man can
serve Two masters, God and Mam'non p
How he can be a Democrat, and at the
same time act with the opponents Of thai
party in endeavoring to defeat its candi-
dates, and break up its organization, par,
ticuIarIy when he says "there is much
less Of difference in point of principle be-
tween political parties than the Zeal Of
their advocates would hold out TO the 81.
periciAl observer 2"
But as this matter appears to be dis
tasteful TO our contemporary, We can scarce
ly find it in our heart TO say any thing on
the subject, and will therefore deal q
'gingerIy' AS possible with him; but, when
we see q Know-Nothing wolf endeavor tc
pass himself off as Democratic lamb, We
are bound TO raise the alarm.
