Thad. Stevens, and West Virginia; thirst
for the blood of Lee and Davis and pray for
the downfall and disgrace of Andrew john
son, and all who take sides with him against
radicalsm.
In this connection, we must express our
surprise ct the course pursued by Mr. Wiley.
In July, 1862, this Senator, then from re-
stored Virginia, in the course of the debate
upon the creation of the new State, delivered
a, thoroughly prepared speech, in which he
expressed his surprise at the proposition to
include any part of the Valley in the new
State. He asserted that the people of North
western Virginia had looked over the ground
and we'll considered the line CT denarcation
and insisted that it should be fixed on the
Allegheny mountains that these mountains
divided the industrial, commercial and social
relations Of the old State, and were the mats
urai barriers between the desire of the people
who wished to form the new State, aud the
desire OF those who were opposed to being
included within it. He frequently repeated
speech uttered this strong language:
"The people Of Northwestern Virginia are
utterly aud irrecOncilatly opposed to any
connection with these people Of the Valley.
they are opposed to it because they have no
commercial relations with them they have
no Industrial Interests i'll common ; they are
disconnected by impossible mountain bar
riers. They have no close suc. relations
81 'I,nH- Il
different III eocial habits different in feelings
difere't n desires in this respect; and
vcmtur- the assertion that out of the l4u. 900
inhabitants proposed to be included in the
new State from the counties Of the VALLEY
there are not 5000 that desire any union
with us. AS Was furcbly remarked the other
DAY by one of my colleagues, in reference to
tins matter, If we were thus united in the
same State organization, it would be Ike
tying two cats by the tail-tTe sho,;d be for
ever fighting each other They are utterly
and irreconcilably hostile in social relations
and hostile ill feelings"
This is true, every word Of it-truc then.

So then, and knows it to be so now. vet he is
now found earnestly cl"moring for this an
nexation of Il people who have no relations

senting the wishes OF his people he is doing
violence to the true duty Of a Senator of the
United States and is lending his official aid,

never before heard Of in this community,
much less deemed capable Of filing high and

changes, its burden of sorrow and Of grief to
some, and its bright and gorgeous prospects
and tulflment to others, has passed from ex-
is'cticc, and we greet our patrons this morn

To dwell upon the past, and to recount the
many changes that have occurred, and to tell
all the blasted hopes of unhappy '65, would
be an Improbable and thank!e$s task. We
give the past year an affectionate adieu!
We greet our patrons upon the entrance of
New Year, and wish them all Il happy time
during its continuance. For ourselves. we
are opposed to promises, but prefer to let our
actions speak for themselves.

CHRISTMAS IN cnARLEsrowN,

Those who live until the year 1900, will
remember the 18th day Of December, 1860,
in Charlcstown. The oldest imhahitamt has
no recollection of another such day within
the precincts Of the old burg. The wild cx-
element, the festive enjoyment, the glorious
intoS cntion OF nearly tour-tifths of the arms
bearing Population Of the town and surround
ing country, was thing to make its impress
sion upon the memory. and forty Years will
not serve to efface it, All We're happy-so,ne
supremacy so. Egg-nog prevailed here. ap~
pie toddy presided there, and plain whi>key
and good cheer We're everywhere. Some
drank, some danced, some fought, some shout

To give dctai,ed account Of this Christ

Jude to it not for the purpose of giving out
the impression that proPriety entirely lost its

those who, in our judgment, strung their tid-
dies little too tightly.
Every body seemed glad, and even those
who engaged III lighting seemed to Go So more

stood the Tremendous armies and resources of
the United States, or that ssGrand Army nf''
the, Union, which, while being recruited
from all the world, was enabled BY " continue
Gus hamnierius" to 50 exhaust its opponent
=" by mere attrition" as to compe! a surrender?
The world he's never witnessed so great
political crime as that committed in the des
truction of the Confederate Government hy
armed force. Other nations, in ancient as
we'll as modern times, have fallen under the
yoke oft the conqueror or usuTper, because their
own tollies, vices or crimes had prepared the
; way for their subjugation. Many tears have
been shed over the fate of unhappy Poland,
but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
the Poles had shown their incapaeity to man
age their own Government ere they were cor
signed to foreign rule. In our c:.se, however,
the civilized nations have stood al60f and seen
a brave aud patriotic people politically muir
dercd, while maintaining an Unprecedented
struggle for the right of seif-govcrnment, and
manitcstihg at every step their capacity for it,
and this, too, when crder au assumed neutral
lty, the resources of men, money and muni-
ton OF war ct those very nations were being
freely used to consUmmate the monstrous decd,
and thereby give the fiual blow to a Genuine
republican government, even in the United
States.
On hehaifof my downtroddcn country, I
make the appeal to those nations that they
will not commit the further injustice Of
receiving the history of this struggle from the
mouths aud pens Of our enemies. but that they
shall wait until the time shall ,ome for placing
true history before them. Inthe meantime,
let all my countrymen who were in coudi-
ton to know the character of the contest, put
in tangible form to be preserved for the use
OF the future historian, such facts and materials
for that history as are in their knowledge or

We do not profess to be well versed in mat
tiers of finance, but we could not fail to be
struck with the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury. he seems to have clearer
perception of the great financial needs OF the
times than any man of his day; and he GER
tainly brings to his position more ability than
the most OF his predecessors than any
OF modern years. He is, beyond doubt, a
thorough man of business, of strong practical
sense, and Of strict integrity; and, if it is in
human power to restore the finances of the
Government to sound, healthy condition,
we believe he will do it.
The able Secretary is evidently not radi
cal, but has his heart beating alone for the
good Of his country. In his report he utters
the following sentiment, which it would be
we'll for all men in powerat Washington, and
especially in power in West Virginia, to pro-
ct by:
am satisfied that no State c3n be CO.
vcrned under republican form of Govern
meut when three-tourths of the people, M
braclnS the largest tax payers, are disfran-
chlsed and denied IL voice in making or exc

and if the members OF Congress would but
take it as their rule Of action in dealing with
