This anomalous and ominous manifesto from
MoundsYiIle, has peculiar i'll boiling appearance
founded, as it evidently is, on something,
which, although but imperfectly indicated to the
public, the writer seems to know full well will
be entirely appreciated by the party to whom
it is addressed. The writer it is plain to be
seen, is not speaking alone for himself-but for
q number, and from the tone-the indignant and
patronizing tone-in which he writes, it is evi
dent that he feels that he is well backed up by
an outraged public sentiment around him.
We begin to fear that our efforts to prop up
the waning fortunes Of our Congressman, are
likely to be over swept by the tremendous tide
of public opinions setting in at both ends ofthe
district. We had heretofore relied on the Gray
backs and Red Wamuses of the mountain coun-
ties to countcract the mischevious influences
which We knew were brewing in the Organ shop
next door. We supposed that their unaniinity
would be y complete corrective. But we have
seen that already are the friends of rival, and
most powerful rival, too, beating up in his be.
half in the very places where all that could be,
hoped for, was staked. Soon these friends OF
the Hon. Alph. Raymond, in their mountain
fastness, like the besieged at Lucknow, will
hear
"The pipes o. Hayeloct sound"
and with the keen and eager ear wherewth that
famous Scottish maid first discerned the "dro-
ming pibroch," will detect the coming of these
reinforcements from the river counties.
This, we free to confess, is what lends such
Responding phase to the fortunes of our Con-
gresham at present, and gives TO the steady
implacablo hostility of the Metropolitan Organ
next door, such a threatening significance.
Like the Seers of old, we shall go out and
look, from time to time, and come back and
chronicle our observations. At present the
clouds are lowering and the sky is lowering

done with their rickety protege, Whether it is
better to "lct it rip" passively, "let it rip"
sctively-in the way of few more railroad &C
cidents. From the concluding tone, it seems
quite likely that their patience is clean gin

ton of filling their obligation with Wheeling.
Here is an extract:
There was decided expression of opinion
that the Directors of the Company, in the event
of refusal of the various parties interested to
acqnesce in scheme to be proposed by the
committee just appointed, for the relief of the
Company from its embarrassments, so that
they may be able to retain possession of their
property, and for the completion of railway
connection with the North Western Virginia
Railroad, be authorized to unite with the holders
of the mortgage bonds in negotiations for the
transfer of the property to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, on such terms as shall Sc
