Letter from Little Berks.
CUMBERLAND VALLEY,
MARCH 30th, 1868.

Mr.. Meyers:--
l happened, by accident, one day last
week, to obtain copy of that precious iRumin.
ator of the political horizon yclept the Bed
ford Inqmrer. After perusing letter contain.
ed in said paper purporting to have been writ
ten at "Camp Humphreys, near Falmouth, Va.,'
and filed with two columns of stuff and venom
| came to the conclusion that "John Smith
although known all over the universe--was no
longer the great man Of tho great Smith family
for the name of the writer of that letter is Al
bert Smith, and he, surely, must be the great
man of all the Smiths. Why, doesn't he look
down with lofty disdain on Geo. b. Mcclellan
and call him ''Chutfy Mac2" And doesn't he
call Democrats "Copperheads," and glorify the
nigger and besmear Abe Lincoln with praise 7
And isn't that enough to make great man of
any body? But we here in the valley k,oy Al
bert Smith to be great man. lie always was
a great liar great sanderer, great reporter
of untruths for the Bedford Inquirer, great
knoo nothing, great nigger-lover, great stblow-
horn" generally, and now, doubt not, he is a
great soldier, though some of his enemies do
say that he 'skulked" on certain occasion when
it was more for his bodily comfort to do so than
Albert doesn't get any pay for his fighting.
Great men fight only for glory and for their e.
quals--the niggers. AS Albert is great man,
of course he considers you, Mr.. Editor, only ga
thing quote from his letter:
''Citizens of Bedford county, be careful how
you handle that thing in the Tory office,
which is legislator incmbryo. twill ruin your
reputation as people, destroy your liberties
and disgrace your state. For Gods sake keer
all such characters out of our legislative coun.
ellis. Surely the boasted Democracy of Bedford
county has not become SO degenerate as to de.
grade themselves and the party they represent
| by taking such men as their standard bearers
men who are dripping with rotten stencil o.
| treason--men whose every act has been in sup
port Of treason at home and abroad"
There you have it, MIR. Editor! Gen. Nc
Clellan is s'Chufy Mac" you are "a thing ant
Albert Smith is great mani l do hope, Mr.
Editor, that you will not decline being a can
cidate, merely to alleviate Albcrt's anxiety fo
the ''boastcd Democracy" True, he has al
ways been very anxious about the fate of tina
party, being one of the corporals guard il
this township, who have prayed for years to st,
its end, but still my dear sir, we can't always
do every thing TO please our friends. So yo,
just stay on the track, let hypocrites howl on
and keep an eye single to Democracy and well
show Albert Smith when the time comes, how
much we'll take his advice or that of any othe
hare -braiued Abolitionist
| Yours,
EYE-O OPENER.

The leading article Of Hunts Merchants
Magazine for April, is an able paper on
the past and future Of the West. in which
the writor argues, from facts deduced
from statistical returns Of the census, that
by the time another decenial enumeration
will be made, ths West will have taken
ono more progressive step, and have be-
come not only the granary Of the world,
but the seat of manufacture for the coun-
try, at least The writer says;
"Thus the golden period of the West
has arrived; the East having no longer
advantage over her, and the USUAL employ
ment for capital being cut oil, to great
extent, we shall soon find her expanding
IN this new direction, and furnishing not
only food but clothing for the world
Her fertile soil. aided by machinery, can,
with the same amount of manual labor,
furnish larger surplus of food than any
other region while her raw materials,
her minerals, her water courses, and her
railroads, all combine with cheap cd to
make the West the region for the cheap
est possible production of manufactures
The fruits OF her rich soil will then find a
market, not only directly, but also in the
shape Of goods. England now imports
food and material from the West, and,
combining them with English labor, fur
nishes goods for the supply of The world.
The Eastern States have also, in the same
way, gained great wealth. But now the
West is about to do that business for her.
self-combing her own labor, material,
and TODD, and thereby becoming the CEN
tre Of manufactures"

From PORr ROYAL.

While reports from: Washington speak
ct new armor being i'll process of prepara-
ton for the Monitors before another at
tack on Charleston, involving several
weeks delay, the dispatches from Port
Royal seem to indicate an immediate re-
newal of the attack. The land forces
have evidently been reinforced, and trans
ferred 10 the island nearer Charleston,
while the iron clads have been moved up
to North Edis.o Island. A Tribune des-
patch from Hilton Head, (20th) says;
Before the close of this week. all the
iron -clads will be again over the bar at
Charleston. and the attack must soon
come off-this time in co operation with
the land forces. The rebels are hard at
work strengthening their defences on the
islands south of Charleston. Troops have
been sent from Savannah to assist them
there.
