For tho Meigs Co. Telegraph.


Dear Telegraph: We did indulge the
hope that we might have been able to be
at Pomeroy before Mr.. Plants left for the
city of Columbus, but indisposition and
the bad state of the roads prevented us.
We contemplate writing to him, however,
but we should have been better pleased to
have seen and converSed with him on a
subject of some importance, than to have
been put to the labor Of sOriting, for we
can use our tongue with more celerity
than we can handle the gull. But, not
withstanding our bungling manner in clas-
styling words and committing errors in
grammar, we mill write to him ard re-
quest him to introduce "Bill," and try
hard, too, to have it pass and become law,
for the prevention and fnal stop, too, of
incumbering the creeks and water-courses.
1t is admitted, we believe, on all sides,
that the great damage we sustained in the
loss of bridges, by the freshet of the 26th
of May last, was owing to the accumula-
ton of "drift-wood'' in our water courses,
and not to the hight of the water alone.
There has been too much timber chopped
and thrown into the creeks for the last
eight or ten years. 1t has been pretty
we'll cleaned out by the high freshets of
the past season, and now is the time to do
something to prevent similar calamity
to the one we have sustained the past sea-
son. IAN ounce of preventive is worth
pound of cure" We are not clothed with
Executive power or patronage, but, as Mr..
Van Buren would say in his messages,
eve would most respectfully call the at
tention of (not Congress- the tax-paylng
sovereigns to this subject"
We have heard nothing, as yet, from the
Editor-in chief since he left Athens, but
we have read his three letters in the Iele-
graph with some interest and pleasure, and
we must acknowledge we were highly
amused at the mistakes he made, and his
fun and, as we are, just at this time, in
fine humor, he, and you too, must indulge
us in being little funny likewise. We
think it somewhat strange that lie should
have taken the Steamer Liberty" and
gone doacn stream, when he designed
boarding the "Courier" and going up. This
we think, was taking little too much lib
erty for man Of his acknowledged mod
esty and temperance habits. But, if he
werea drinking man we might forgive such
liberty. We cannot do il in his case, yet
we are disposed to overlook the mistake n
part, as it was the day after +" Christmas, !,
and some people are apt to be little thick
headed and diowsy about such time in the
year. But, it appears, that he felt dis

they shot down into the darkness, l heard
something like the bay Of the old house
dog and the firing of guns, but nothing
more.
Weeks and months passed away before
the fearful delirium Of that night left me.
/ returned to consciousness in my fathers
cabin, an emaciated creature, as helpless
as child. My youth had passed away,
and ! was prematurely old, The raven
black locks Of twenty years had changed

fearful night, and awake covered with the
cold, clammy sweat that gathered on me
while on that pine,
The neighing OF the horse, as he dashed
into the clearing, had aroused the people
a. home. The empty and broken sleigh
told the brief story. The bowling of the
wolves arose on the blast, and with guns
and the old house-dog they rushed to the
scene. They found me senseless on the
trunk of the tree, covered with blood, and
the wolf feeling his way on az icy branch
toward me. In turning at the sound of
their approach, he slipped, and went down
upon the ice. .r..
Our people looked long for Garry Mason,
but did not find her till next morning
They went down on the ice, and found her
a corpse. The wolves had not picked her
crushed bones-I thanked God for that.
The fall had partially broken the ice, aud
the oozing water had frozen and fastened
her long black hair as it foated out. The
wolf had not released his death-gras2; for
his teeth were in her pure, white shoulder.
The spring sunshine, and birds. and
green leaves, had come again. as I tottered
out. Ny sisters led me to a grave on the
rivers bank--the grave of all my youth
fnl hopes. and all 1 loved. The wild flowers
were only starting on the mound. I blessed
them; for they were blooming over the
grave of Garry Mason.

Forney (now at Washington, writes to
the "Press,'' that "Mr. Buchanan, who
demanded that the AK should fall upon
the neck of Mr.. Douglas, does not hesitate
to say that he signed the warrant" The
same correspondent further says:
81 perceive that a dispa:ah has been
sent forward to the effect that Senator
Bigler voted against the removal of Dou-
glas from the committee, and that the
President don't approve the decree Of the

cern-though it is somewhat inconsistent
with his alleged devotion to the doctrine
OF Congressional Intervention for the pro-
lection of slavery-7but have tile best
reasons for saying that the President coun-
selled the attack upon the Senator from

Position.

"Men should not marry" it is com,
monty said, "unless they cannot only
maintain for themselves the social position
TO which they have been accustomed, but
extend the benefits Of that position to their
wives and children. A woman who mar
ries is entitled to be kept in the same rank
and position in which she was reared
We entirely disavow these doctrines
1t should be the aim of every married
couple to make their own fortunes. No
son and daughter, who become man and
wife, are entitled to rely on their patri-
mony, but should willingly commence life
at a lower step in the SOCIAL ladder than
that occupied by their parents, so that they
may have the merit and happiness of rising,
If possible, to the top. Imagine the case
of a couple, who, by great perseverance,.
have acquired possession Of immense
wealth, and are living i'll II style of ease
and splendor which is no more than the
reward of industry. Will anybody say
that the children of such "old folks
should live in the same grandeur as their
parents?
The idea is preposterous. They have
no right to such luxury, they have done
nothing to deserve it; and if their parents
are honest ir dividing their property
among them, they can have no means of
supporting it. Yet marriages are con,
tracted on the principle that the married
couple shall be able to keep up the rank to
which they have been accustomed under
