L
Tic rebels are not only deprived Of all
foreign commerce and their coast-wise
trade by the blockade, but we have also Ia
ken away from them many Of their interior
water communications, as Albemarle and
pamlico Sounds, the communication from
Mobile to New Orleans, the Potomac,
Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi
Rivers prove, They have little river
navigation left, but no armed vessels suf1l-
cient to protect it The advantage we
have over them in water communications
is by no means appreciated; and it may be
illustrated By single instance When the
rebels went into Maryland, it was said that
they sent back into Virginia a train Of
p1under ten miles long. Allowing three
rods space, and u ton weight for each team,
there being $40 rods in mile, it would
make the whole train take out 1000 tons.
A single propeller takes 750 tons from this
city. It happened several times last fall
that the arrivals Of vessels were one hund-
red per day. Say that the average load OF
the vessels was 200 tons, and the amount
received in single day, by the lake alone,
was 10000 tons.
Much is said about the two long lines of
railroad communications which the rebels
have, one By the coast, and the other
through Tennessee. Now there are three
entirely independent lines Of railroad from
Chicago to New York, all heavily equip.
ped, and having double tracks for very
considerable portion OF the way, and yeI
these, and the water communication by tht
Lakes and Eric Canal besides, arc unable
to do the business Of this region Of country
alone, with auy promptness or conve
nience. In 1850, IS appears By the last cen
SIS, there were :, 5,454 miles of RAILROAD il
the rebel States, exclusive Of Tennessee
and 20 ,24 miles in the other States. But
we have already possession Of considera
bic portion Of these railroads in Florida
Louisiana and Virginia. Railroads AMI
railroad equipments rapidly dcterioratc, IN
less kept in constant repair; and as thes
Southern railroads were built and ru1
mostly By Northern capital and mechanics
and have not had any paying busincs
since the war commenced, and have beer
shut out from supplies from the North AM
abroad, they cannot now be in the mos
efficient condition.
The rebellion wanes in power as its cur
rency dcprcciates, and its means of trans
portation are crippled.

MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!

The year is approaching very near
to a close, and it is quite natural that
we should now be expecting to see
our delinquent patrons coming up
with their hands on their pocket
books. We have been very indul-
gent to many of our patrons in allow
ing them to suit their own time and
convenience in settling their bills,
and they will not think it amlss for
US to say now that sce expect every
debtor to HQuidate his bill beta0een this
and the holidays, If, at that time,
there are still some delinquents, we
will consider that they have forgot
ten their Indebtedness, and they will
not object to having their names ap-
pear 10 published list of "delln-
quent patrons, as a kind Of re-
hinder.
We send out our bills this
week, and we have not postage to
spare or waste in sending more than
once. If the first sending does not
meet with response, it will be un-
dersteod, and we will know who to
send next time.
The Morgantown monitor. [volume] (Morgantown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1863-1864, 1863-12-05

confess the fact. This is certainly in
direct violation of law, and a very
easy method for fraud to be practlced
by designing persons, if such q course
is allowed.
AS for ourselves we have but one
particular objection to urge against
the conduct of the late election
There was one instance Of outlandlsh
outrage perpetrated within our coun-
ty, the like of which will cause the
blood of any man who has soul
within him, to boil with Indignation,
We wish to know if it is in accord
ance with the principles of American
institutions and Constitutional liber-
ty that the sacred freedom of the
ballot-box should be obstructed ard
destroyed by surrounding it with the
bayonets of rude and unthinking
squad of ruAians? We wish to
know if it is in accordance with the
dignity of the American citizen that
ne should submit to be bullied and
bayopeted out of his manhood in
seeking this the dearest right his
country affords? If SO, we wish to
flee thetlsnd of our birth; forget her
boosted liberties and find a more
unfettered refuge among a less pre-
tending but higher humanity. And
yet it cannot be denied that such pro-
ceedings are being countenanced.-
It is not sufficient that in every dis
trict we have Provost Marshal, a
Deputy, two Detectives, .. S. Com
missioner, and in all a sufficient num-
Der of officers to watch the outgoings
and mornings of every living crea-
ture, if not to note even disloyal
thought, much more a word, but the
right must also be rendered to every
ruffian in the community to take his
stand at the polls and challenge the
rio hit to exercise the most sacred prl-
vilege bequeathed by tho Constitu-
ton.
1t is for this cause alone that we
would desire to see contest Of the
case in question, if by so doing it
would determine the question wheth-
err or not the people of West Virgi-
MIA will submit to such tyranny.

THE SLACKWATER QUESTION
AGAIN.

Wy e GILL dtLeutiUu w Iue Uili) tuo
lished in another column, entitled
"An Act to Incorporate the Marion
and Monongalia Navigation Compa-
n.y." This bill was passed during
the present session of the Legisla-
ture. 1t will be seen that the design
goes somewhat beyond that previ-
ously entertained, as it proposes to
make the Monongahela navigable
from the Pennsylvania line, its pres
ent limit, as far up as Fairmont.-
We understand that the B. g. 0 R.
r. Go. were instrumental to some ex-
tent in getting the bill through the
Legislature. Their design is to tap
the trade of the Central road at Pitts
burg by thus making line of COM
munication to their road from this
point. We confess that at first sight
we could not see any sufficient in
ducemeut accruing from such a pro-
iect, that would warrant the safe in
vestment of so large an amount of
capital as it will require to slack the
river the proposed distance. Yet it
may be that goods can be conveyed
to and from Pittsburg to the eastern
cities by the same or less money by
this route than by the Central road.
The trade along the river would also
be increased, and form quite an item
in the freight of the road. We un-
derstand that the merchants Of Pitts
burg are very anxious that the pro-
iect should succeed. A member of a
wealthy firm in that place, while Oh
a visit to our town few days since,
expressed great solicitude for it's sue
cess, and also a willingness on the
part of his firm to take a share of
three thousand dollars in the work.
That the citizens of Pittsburg desire
it we think to be the most encoura-
ging feature in the whole matter.
We regard the completion of this
work as only question of time
But whether it will be in our time we
would not like to say. AS people,
we are slow to see the "neb" of a
great project. We can sit and dream
of spacious buildings, of salamander
safes and fire-proof vaults, but when
it is proposed to open way for them
to come in, we are lost in astonish
ment at the idea of "such foolish
ness. Even in regard to q PROPOSE
ton so clear as the one in question
one that promises to enrich our whole
country and make every crag and
peak sfow with milk and honey
beside being so simple that man,
though a fool, couldn't helpsbut see
it. We remain perfectly Indifferent,
as it were, and without a
single thought of what is necessary
to the accomplishment of the work.
1t will be when the great and
growing West has exhausted the
coal mines of the country below US,
and some chance traveller shall con-
vey to them the knowledge of our
wealth, as we'll as our astounding
shall be then that four
or five live Yankees will come among
US, buy our lands, slack our river,
open our mines, gobble up their con-
tents, and as the great barges of
wealth are being tugged down the
river, we will stand on the banks,

THE ELECTION.

The great contest mas past Tue
struggle ended; " the grasshopper
has become burden, and desire has
failed; ',,because man goeth to pay his
bets, and elongated faces go about
the streets.
No election has ever been more
holly contested in this county; there
was never before such a rafting
among the dry bones as was occa-
stoned by the past. The result Of
such a contest could not, of course,
be satisfactory to all and Judging
from the degree of feeling manifested
during the canvassing, it must ne
cessarily have been very depressing
to some. Yet that there is always
some source of "consolatisn even in
the midst of Distress" is not at all
inapplicable to the present case.
Neither of the candidates for Coun-
ty Treasurer were in need of the Of
fee, aud we imagine that neither
particularly desired it so far as any
pecotniary considerations are involv-
ed. It was mere question of am
bition between the friends of the two
parties. And now that the friends
of each party have all, we think,
fought hard and we'll, and nobly dis
charged their duty in the matter,
even the defeated party canuet but
have some consolation in the re-
suit, viz: that the best man has been
chosen for the position. This all
must acknowledge. No man in the
county has had an equal experience
in this sphere of business, and no
man in the State possesses qualifca-
tons superior to Mr.. Wagner, for
this particular sphere. While his
opponent is acknowledged to be a
very good, clever, honest, worthy
man, he must himself confess that
such position would only have been
an aggravation to him, and that after
all, Mr.. Wagner is the right man
in the right place" We know that
there are many directors to this YER
sion of the story, whose opposition
to the successful candidate they pro-
TESS not to have been direct: but eim-
ed more particularly against the
"certain class, cliques, family con-
nections, &c" who espoused his
cause. With this we have nothing
to do, and much less have we any
thing to say.
In regard to the question Of ille-
gality in the conduct of the elections
in some of the Tow ships, question
which is now being agitated to some
extent, We do not know whether
there is any design or desire to con-
test the result. From what we can
learn, there is, perhaps, just ground
for such action. Quite a number of
instances are known where persons
have voted outside of their townships,
and many thus voting are ready to!
