Braxton oounty--Her Unanimous

We think so far as we have seen the re-
turns of the late elections for and against
the new State Of KanRwha, Braxton coun.
ty is the banner comfy. She has had
many seemingly insurmOuntAble difficult
ties to overcome, but she has stood up
mAnfulIy to her WORK, and east her vote to
man for the Union and q division of the
State. Not one negative vote was polled
in the county. We give three hearty huz-

and nobleness of soul characterizing the
denizens of Braxton, has ever rendered her
an object of attraction and admiration
Tbs day is not far distant when Braxtou

Later, and about the time the army moved

from st. Louis TO Jefferson City, and along

left home an ardent admirer of Cen Fre-
mont, and disbelieTer in the reports pre-

letters, which excited no little eommotion
among our readers testify the sincerity Of
his conversion 70 the opposite opinion
Whenthe Cong COMMITTEES charged

what foundation there was for the charg-

proprietOrs of the Tribune, who are to sui

suItis what would have Mapped to any
fonr earnest men who desire quick ter

triumph ofthe holy cause Profound con-
viction of the ineompetency of the Geuer-

COMMERCE on the lakes has this sensou
been better than was ever known before
The conveyance of grain from Chicago and
other Western ports to the East employs
every vessel that eau be had. and at the
close of navigation large quantity must
remain behind. At the latest dates there
were more than 2,6oo,O bushels at Chi.
cago and it was constantly accommodating.
The Consequence is that vessels obtain
whatever freight they ask, and while corn
has been selling in Illinois as low as ten
cents per bushel, the freight from Chicago
to Buffalo has been as high as 20 cents,
and for a long time stood at 10 cents
Many a vessel carrying 10000 bushels
would thus for single trip Eastward re-
eeiye $4,000. Wheu she might not be worth
more than $4,000.
