Paving tie RiNer,

There is said to be not little cofnmotioE
in Virginia about paying the cost Of Gov
Wise's military presidential demonstrations
at Harper's Ferry. What might have been
accomplished without any guard at ALTO
wit: rsafekeeping Of John Brown, who
did not want to escape--Gov. Wise employ.
ed seventeen hundred men rank and file to
do. Besides this, Gen Taliaforn's staff num-
bered sixty-four chivalric Virginians, at o
per diem allowance of eight dollars-just
eighteen larger than the staff of Napoleon
when at the head of his conquering legions.
All this was done to advance Gov. Wise's
claims for the Charleston nomination. The
taxpayers of Virginia think it an expensive
mode of electioneering, and that Gov Wise
ought to pay the major part of the cost.
