MailS-MailS.

Again do We call upon those who can give
attention to tho matter, and whose duty as
guardians Of the interests Of our section Of
The country and Of the State, it is to give that
attention, to the condition Of our mails here
While every village on any line of public
conveyance in Ohio and the Northern States
has daily mail, no are put off with tri-
weekly one--for We arc indebted entirely to
the military for our present advantages above
. tri-reckly line between Charleston and
Gallipolis. But between here and Wheeling
the mail is only tri-weekly; md we only have
one overland post-rou,c in all this section Of
tho Valley. Our citizens are obliged to come
from Is to Is miles for their mail while q
mail-route through tho country might safely
b established.
A petition praying FOR the opening Of o
route up Elk river to Big Sandy, Walton, and
sven 10 spcncer-rhich may safely be douc-
has already been forwarded. Will Colonel
WHALrY give the subject his attention? Hun.
dreds Of good loyal citizens would thus be
accommodated, and new impetus given to
. tho business Interests Of tho country. Let i,
DO attended to.

Intimidation.

Our attacks on the " conservative element
have elected good deal Of excitement in our
nre y;su,,y morotonous "city," and we have
learned that they have rumorea it upon the
streets, tina, because We were disposed to
give certain men hearing in our columns,
who had been attacked as rebels, and who
claimed to be Union men, We had hacked
dor1l" ~ and that these men, by intimidation
had changed the character Of our paper!
Now the only intimidation or threats Of any
kind which we have heard from any one, were
uttered by the Editor Of the Republican, who
said, only last Saturday, on the streot'corner
opposite our office: "If those mel 1.-THE editors
of the JouRSAIl had persisted in-thcir course
two weeks longer, they would haze been under
the ground" We confess this does appear
something like n threat, but we only pity tic
man who thus gave way to his feeling Of
hatred toward US, whom be would not meet
in the open ground Of argument.
But let us assure him, and also any others
If there be any such-who may have had
any idea or hope Of i"timiddt"g us, that We
haze not changed and do not intend to change our
course, or the character Of the paper, which
has been, aud will continue to be, opposition TO
truitor,, here, as elsewhere md radical sup
port and Icttnse Of the Union eau'e-ail threats
/ or "intimidutions TO the contrary Dotwlih-
standing.
Blu, if our conservative" enemies do mean
violence-though we have no such feHrs-we
have only to say that NC have already taken
QUE life in our hands once to fight rebels, aud
arc willing to do so again in defense Of the
same cause.
Not believing that Col. JONES would be
guilty Of such IN act or intention, NO request
ed him to inform US whether such ras the
case, and received positive denial.

The Senatorial Question.

Legislature are better prepared to decide on

and in case the choice falls been Wiley and

have taken the character Of almost positiue

An Association Of New York Capitalists,
representing ON actual working capital Of
$4,000 have agents hero buying fec simple,
and taking leases, in which they have already
spent nearly tho entire amount Among
others they have bought tract Of land on

this, in Nicholas and Clay Counties, the iudi.

and tho excitement immense. He says there
are thirty or moro agents at work in Nicholas

friend Of ours having = tract Of land in
Nicholas, for which he could not get $4,000
before tho war, has shown Us an offer by man
from Philadelphia, Of Sis, 900 for the land.
We arc also informed that Mr.. Hope, tho
