HE country papers Of the State which
have reached us during the past few
days, are almost entirely barren OF mat
ters of local interest Of ali the county
papers published in West Virginia, there
is scarcely one which may be called good
local paper We regret this for the ben
eft of both the publishers, themselves,
and their readers Printing county pa
pers in this State is not profitable, we
know, and mechanic is not apt to man
ufacture a frst-clas, article of any,
thing for which he gets inadequately
paid; but live, euterprising publisher
will have pride in getting up" good
paper, and if his community will net
support him in that he will seek field
where be will be supported.
FROM the Wellsburgh Herald we clip
the following pair of items;
UF to Saturday evening last. $4,000
pounds of wool had been shipped from
one establishment in this town, pur-
chased during the furry Of the last few
weeks at prices ranging from 50 to 20
cents per pound, the majority at about
tho latter figure. There is considerable
Of the staple remaining on hand, and du.
ring the same period there were several
considerable sales made to other parties
q. s. REVENUE COLLECTOR ORR came
down on the Brewery establishment OF
Andrew Hebrank in this town on We'd
nesday last, for not making correct re
turns of his products for taxation. The
entire establishment was libeled for con-
dscation according to law, unless Mr.. II
can make it appear that he is innocent
of the charges preferred against him,
and party has been placed in charge
until the matter can be determined.
THE Morgantown Post expects that
town to be placed in communication by
telegraph with the outside world by
Christmas.
THE Fairmont National says robbery
was committed in Worthington, last week.
The store of Mr.. BAsSNETT was broken
into and robbed of large amount of
goods
THE same paper thinks it great shame
that they have 90 stores in that town,
and yet they do not manufacture and
send away $50 worth of anything in a
month, aud concludes that they must
have producers as well as consumers, or
they are gone up" community.
On THE Berkeley and Jefferson ques-
ton, the Martinsburg Union, Intensely
Radically gives the following:
We assert, without fear OF contradic.
ton, that uinety-nine out of every hun
bred loyal men in the COMMITTEES of .Jetfer
son and Berkeley are DESTROYS of remain
ing with the new State. The jurisdic-
tion of West Virginia has been exercised
over them; the laws have been enforced
within their boundaries; rights have ac-
crued under them; Courts have been
held, and cases have been litigated, and
judgments and DEGREES entered, all I'M
der the Government of West Virginia.
To throw these counties back into the
Old Dominion at this time, would upset
the whole civil structure of society. and
most seriously complicate and involve
the social and political relations of the
people. The loyal people have long
since settled down in the conviction that
the acts of the Old State permitted them
to go, and the acts of the New State ac
cepting them, was amply sufficient, and
the act of Virginia now, in resembling its
former consent, can be looked upon in
no other light than most base and pur-
Gdious attempt to sacrifice the loyal peo-
pie of Berkeley and Jefferson to the ty-
ranical rule of the Richmond Oligarchy.
Old Berkeley at the late election for
Judge rolled up the enormous majority
for the Union candidate, of eight hundred
votes, giving a large majority for the
Union ticket than any other county in
the State
Can it be that this Congress win turn
rs over to the tender mercies of Old Vir-
ginia2 We hope better than this, and
have every assurance that the loyal peo-
