SpE'WISs. s.-Thc near approach OF the rainy
season renders it proper that VIC should again
rnpress upon owners Of city lots the importance
IF placing sidewalks in front Of their respective
premises. The r.,ure t. put down sidewalks
heretofore has been mainly owing TO the high
,.;cc Of lumber. This obstacle is not likely to
te removed. and it becomes necessary to inquire
whether VIC have not some cheap substitute that
will answer ihe purpose equally well. In this
connection We have only to name the gravel
he'd, tha, arc to be found in nearly every block q.
few loads Of gravel, that need not cost more
than 50 cents per load, will 'nabs- II better and
Infinitely more durable sidewalk than any mere
wooden structure. With such abundant supplies
of this most excellent material at hand there can
b, no excuse cor the failure to put down side
walks along all our more Important thorough
fares. Main street, with but slight expend-
tgre, has been made the pride and ornament oil
our town. Carrying out this spirit of improve
ncn,, we trust that the City Council will order
Sgeacral system Of sidewalks. Using gravel
for the purpose the cost will b. trifing, whilst
the convenience will be very gr5at.

Ten has procured pile driver, and is having
all that part Of his lot fronting on Mill Creek
,iled This is done in order 10 avoid the chance
Of being washed out, as was the case last spring.
Now that there is pilc-drver in town, we think
uwould be well for the city authorities to have
all that part of Mill Creek Immediately adjoinir
the bridge substantially piled. The present
wooden Juik-hetd is any thing hut secure, and
in the event Of frcslct is almost certain TO give

per,y to destruction. Every properly holder on
Main street i, interested IN this improvement,
and We doubt not r5at appropriation for the
purpose would meet with general approval.

Blessings not Appreciated,

1t is true that our greatest blessings are not
appreciated as they should be. In speaking Of
one of them, the Chariot esvle Chronicle says
ut is great blessing to the people of the
South that in the midst of all their privations
they have still their newspapers left-at the old
prices. For few dollars they get for whole
year all the news Of this stirring age For a
few dollars they see the marriages and deaths
the markets-the doings of Congress-the mes
sages of the Presieent-the speeches of the
Cabinet-the dispatches from ashington-the
price of gold-the news from Europe-the
great fres-the bank robberies-the murders
the fashions-the earthquakes foods
the riots-the new discoveries in science-the
divorces-the election returns the behavior of
the freedmen-the movements Of Gen. Grant
and Gen. Steedman-the outrages in East
Tennessee-the attempts at assassination in
Russia and Prussia-the proceedings of the
Courts-the proceedings of religious aad politi-
cal bodies-the new goods brought on by the
merchants farms advertised for sale-the
fine horses imported from abroad-the adver-
tisements of the schools-the horses that are
stolen-the letters of Mr.. Bolts shooting
affairs in Richmond accidents on the rail-
roadside money panics of the world-the tur-
nips and potatoes sent to editors-the health of
Mr.. Davis-the whereabouts of Mr.. Wigfal-
and a constant flow Of fine editorials On all the
objects in the universe.
There are benighted persons, however, who
live a sort of stupefed existence without taking
the newspapers-as they live In the northern
part of West Tirginia without candles. There
are people who are either Indifferent to looking
into the great kaleidoscope of daily human life,
or, if not Indifferent, are so tenacious Of a few
small deprecated bank-notes, that they deny
themselves day after day this glorious vision as
being beyond their means-as if man with
short-sighted eyes should blunder through life
without glasses on the ground ofexpense
These people ought not to vote; they lack
both natural intelligence and the necessary in
formation

Freedmen's Bureau Bill.

On Wednesday last, the House of Represen-
tatives passed, by vote of Sc to 80, bill ex-
tending the Freedmen's Bureau, with some
notifications, for three years. The following
is an abstract of the bill as it passed the House
''It continues the present Freedmen's Bureau
in force for three years from the passage Of this
act; extends its operations to all loyal refugees
and freedmen, as to enable them to become self
supporting; two assistant commissioners are
provided for; no one is to be deemed destitute
or suffering OR dependent on the government,
who is able to find employment. The Presi-
dent is required to reserve from sale certain of
the public lands in the South for the use of the
freedmen. Whenever the former owners of
lands occupied under General Sherman's field
order shall apply for restoration of said lands,
the commissioner shall refuse to surrender the
same, provided that due application be made
in the proper courts.

Rockingham Items.

Andrew Jefferson Wetzel, of Pendleton coun-
ty, charged with horse stealing, was arrested in
Brooks Gap, Rockingham county, on Thurs
day week. He was member of Capt Har-
pers company about year, deserted and joined
the Swamp Dragons Of Pendleton county
lie is young man, about % years of age, and
has wife and one child in Pendleton county,
He was born and raised in Brooks Gap where
his parents still reside.
On Saturday week, another horse thief, call
ing himself James Castillo, was also arrested
in Brock Gap for stealing horse from Clifton
Burton, near White Hall, in Albemarle county
CASTILLO had been in the federal service, he
said, and was stationed at Richmond, having
been detailed as blacksmith. For getting
drunk and fighting his superior officers, he had
been sentenced to three years Imprisonment in
the Penitentiary; but getting help, he escaped
from the guard house On Monday morning. with
ball and chain around his legs, and made his
way up into Albemarle, where, being tired of
walking, his legs having given out, he ''pro-
cured Mr.. Clifton horse as before stated
He was making his way, he said, to Ohio, with
the ultimate design of getting to the State of
New York, where his parents reside.
At the last Court in Rockingham, three per-
sons were sentenced to the penitentiary
What is the matter in Rockingham? We
fear that some need reconstruction in that good

West VIRGINIA Unionism,

N. H. Taft, Esq, has been indicted by the
Grand Jury of Upshur county, West Virginia,
for publishing handful calling meeting of
the conservatives Of that county! Five years
ago he was prisoner in the hands of the Con-
federates while Colonel Porterfeld's command
was stationed at Phillippi. The fairest record
will not save man from persecution by the
unprincipled faction that governs West Virgin
Ia unless he consents to aid and abet them in
their nefarious schemes.
B. FL. Smith, Esq, United States District
Attorney, who was strong Union man through
out the war, having given an opinion that the
constitutional amendment was of no force, the
Parkersburg Times says of him:
''We candidly believe that any man who ex-
presses such opinions as MIR. Smith has should
be indicted for melting to crime and stirring up
sedition.

A dispatch from Buffalo, New York, dated

A dispatch from Buffalo, New York, dated
June lst says:
''The number of Fenians who effected land
ing in Canada from this point is estimated at
three thousand, with accessons to their ranks
hourly. They are well armed, and have six
pieces of artillery. 1t is stated there will be a
general descent on the whole frontier and that
the Fenians have altogether thirteen batteries
of artillery The leaders have teegraphed from
this point to various cities to bring on reinforce
ments. The men who went from here gener-
ally had served in the Federal or Confederate
armies. No fighting has yet occurred, and
none is anticipated for two days. The obstruc-
ton of tie Welland Canal, the cutting of the
Grand Turk railway and moving in two divis-
ions on Montreal and Kingston, is said to be
the programme. Colonel O'Neil, who leads
the troops from here, is styled Commander of
the Army of the Irish Republic in Canada"
General Sweeney, it is reported, crossed over
with the main body. The crossing was effected
here without difficulty, as there were no United
States troops at this point. Fenians are leav-
ing Boston, Philadelphia, New York and other
cities.

What it Means.

Under this caption, the Richmond Enquire,
says, Let them (the Radicals bring forward a
simple measure declaring that the Constitution
Of the United States shall be and is amended,
so as to read in the words of the Radical plat
form; and that all citizens, other than Radi-
Gals, shall be and are forever excluded from Of
flee and from all share in the government.
These are the real objects ofall their proceed
lngs 1t is for party strength that Colorado is
to come in. 1t is for party supremacy that they
defle the Constitution to which, as a form, they
gave their oaths. 1t is because the Southern
States are not of their party, and their votes
therefore adverse, that the Radicals were dis
unlonists before the war, and are anti-unionists
since the war. 1t was because it strengthened
Radlcalism in the North, while destroying its
opponents in the South, that they drove on the
war. 1t is because they hope the negroes would
vote for them, that they are in favor Of negro
suffrage. All their measures, all their schemes
their disunionism, their bloodshedding, their
anti-unionism, their violations Of the Constitu
ton, their constitutional amendments their ne
gro suffrage, their expulsions Of Congressman,
their reflections of Southern Congressman, their
Colorado admission-all have but one meaning,
one motive, and one end, the same that we
have explained.
1t is perfectly apparent that the Radicals con-
slider themselves the country, the government,
and the Constitution, and that all other citizens
are traitors, rebels and copperheads, and their
opinions treason. 1t is palpable that all their
plans and all their measures are for confirming
the sway of their party. For the country, as
such, they have not a care or a thought, except
of positive animosity for the country, outside
of their party, is an abomination, made up Of
rebels and wretches of various dive.
