coal and oil lands in West Virginia. There
will be q large immigration and large
amount of capitol flowing into your bor-
ders next spring, provided yOu keep out of
rebellion. No country excites more inter
est politically. aud commercially just now
than your gallant State. We read of your
Duvals, your Thoburus, your POWsllsr and
your Gen. Kelley, and We feel proud of
them and of all of you"
Nh. BREoHER's Sunday evening political
sermons are even more crowded than his
religious discoarses. Last Sunday night,
for instance, every seat was full, every
aisle crammed until there was no standing
room left. The crowd about the doOrWays
was noisy and uncomfortable. Ladies
were handed over the backs of Pews, bon
nets and beavers were crushed, crinolines
were rendered shapeless, and Eund reds
went away from the doors unable to obtain
admission.
THH Georgia papers say President Davis
had cold and formal reception from the
army in Georgia on the occasion of his late
visit. The soldiers did not attempt to
hide their feelings; and so marked was the
change in their conduct during the grand
review as compared with that on q similar
occasion last fall, that upon returning to
headquarters the president insisted upon
being informed as to the reason. he found
out, after while, that it was . dissatisfae-
tion with their commander, General Hood.
Gen. Johnston or Beauregard is wanted in
his place. -a. -.-..-.
TIE Richmond papers tell as tough sto-
ries about our soldiers votes as do the Nc
Olellan papers. The Examiner of the 10th
pretends to know that the Pennsylvania
and Ohio men in WArren's and Burnside's
corps voted ten to one for Mcclellan, and
that the Maryland soldiers are almost
unanimous against the new constitution Of
that state. The returns do not come in SO.
THE New York World rather whiningly
complains that Gen. Grant is receiving
heavy reinforcements, in order to carry out
new orders from the president to win an
other great victory at Richmond before the
election, in order to help on bis chances.
The complaint is confession that what hurts
the rebels helps Lincoln; and that what
helps the rebels helps Mcclellan. And SO
it is.
THE county of Adams, Pa, whose peO-
pie sold water to our soldiers and would
not lend them shoVels to dig graves for
the dead after the battle OF Gettysburg,
has gone for the democrats by increased
majoriTies. This is in accordance with the
fitness of thugs. The Cincinnati Enquirer
(democratic) declares the Ohio election
ga most remarkable exhibition of the pow
er of ignorance and party blindness."-
What do our eastern democratic papers,
who claim great gains in Ohio, think of
this7
Ma. LINCOLN is reported to have replied
to a delegation, who were urging Mr..
Chase's appointment 10 the chief Justice
ship, that ''until he and Chase were created
over again by the Almighty, they could
never come together" Yet Mr.. Chase's
friends pretend to regard it as certain thst
he will be appointed directly after the cleo
ton.
GEN. RosEcRAHs asks the assistance of
men of all parties in Missouri in excluding
from the polls all who have no right to
vote on account of alieuage, treason and
guerrillaism.
ARTEMus WARD lectured on the Nor
mons at Dodworth's Hall, New York, Mon
day evening, and was witty in his way, but
so Indecent that the audience hissed him
several times.
Ex SRcRErARY CHASE expresses great
confidence of Mr.. Lincoln's reelection
BE said in his late speech at ,COvingtOn
Kentucky -
nWhen we come TO balance up the prob
abilities in reference to the electoral college
there can be no doubt of the result. You
may count against Lincoln every doubtful
vote, and there will be enough to elect him
and to spare. believe that by the 9Th Of
November you will fnd the people very
nearly as unanimous as they were when
the first gun Was fired upon Sumter.
OSE of the Boston Courier people was
gracious enough to introduce two Yankee
girls, burning with anxiety to see General
Mcclellan, on the Sound steamer the other
night,-and this is what he and one OF
them said:-
"'These young ladies from Massachu-
sets are very anxious TO be presented to
you. You know that New England's great
production is man, and this is the stock
| from which the men are raised yes, sir,
added the quick Witted damsel on my right,
white menP From which inferred that
miscegenatiou was not popular in Fitch
burg, Massachusetts"
Nor modssty either, We should say.
