Financial Matters.

For some time it has been general
complaint with our citizens, that bust
ress Of most kinds was "dull," and es.
pccially has the scarcity and Brightness I"
Of money been remarked and felt in our
midst. We believe this is not generally
the case throughout the country, and it
is therefore we'll worth while TO inquire
into tho causes and learn, if possible,
u remedy for thissta of affairs. live
consider our circumstances, the causes
which conspire to drain our community
of its surplus backs, without bring
ing them back in the regular routine Of
trade, will be apparent at once. While
We arc importing SO to speak, all our
dry goods, groceries, and even proSl-
sions, lumber and almost every article OF
consumption, for which VIC have to pay
cash, We are exporting or sending away
scarcely anything by which to secure
return of money. Neither have We any
manufactures in our midst which fur
nish means Of l;:ins to SO many in.
dus,rious TorEmen in the North, nor
are any enterprises on foot to give en-
plovmcut to hundreds Of laborers in our
uiGs; whose families mast be supported.
Aud why? Certainly there is no more
Inviting FIELD to the caritalist-and in
no part of the Union would capital be
more amply repaid for investment. But
our people do not seem 70 invite such
enterprise and Investment Of capital
Too many Of them are, We fear, acting
the part Of the dog in the manger-fcar-
lul lest they vii! not make al: they look
with suspicion and distrust upon those
who come into our milst-cspceIa!ly if
from the North and when they Offer to
inycs: their capita! with the design Of
developing what We continually boast Of
Us our uacq ualied resources, they arc re-
bufled by tho cxtortioaate r:ices asked
for property, which few years since
could have been bought almost for a
song. We Go not by any means speak
in favor of spoculators--it is that very
class of men who arc our banc. We
want good, honest. cnterpr;siac, business
and working men, and i: is to our true
Interests and the interests CT the State
that oN such men be encouraged to come
and settle in our midst, establish facio.
ries, i! We, from any cause, arc unable to
establish them ourselves, no matter from
what part CT the country they come.
The prejudice against Northern men
which still .ce.as 10 cx:s: in the minds
Of many even Of our Union citizens, is
a relic Of that barbaric Institution Of
slavery, which died forever with tine re-
bcllion, and the prejudice should 20 with
its parent Then let capitalists be en-.
couraged, let manufactures be cstab'
lished, let our lands be made productive
and our hills and valleys rcsound with
the sounds Of mechanical industry, and
then no longer will tho complaint, as
now, be the scarcity OF money, and the
cost OF living.

the promiuent' conservatives Of the
State was held at Wheeling. Of which
General Jackson (tot Andrew) was
President, ana 4. +. %G@mcrs Sec'cta-
~, for tho purpose Of organizing party
and to devise means for "rcGeemin@ West
Virginia from radical control" A!ttr

the constitutional riyG'S Of orr rebel
citizens" committee was appointed 20
upset the radical, and report to u Con-
ventiou of returned rebels, sympathizcrs
and conservatives, to be held at CsarEs'
burg on the 18th Of April next. Thi:
party is endeavoriny to deceive the poo
pic by calling itself Union, by cnlors
ins President johnson, &C., and deny
iug :ha: it is made W. principally Of
rebel sympathizcrs, coprcrkeads and
their tools, with few Union men who
harpcned not TO be rebels.
A correspondent in the Parkcrsburg
Tiancs shows the true character Of the
party which these se!f.stylcd "conscrY

his speech OF Feb. 22'l, shows what he

The causes which have led to tho
wide departlffe' in this regard from the
habits of our fathers are numerous. Tho
great one. no doubt, is the intense earn

worldly pursuits. The father has but
little intercourse with his children, for
his business will not permit it. The
mother finds the care of the family and
the demands of society loo urgent for

The PHENOMENA OF LIoHrNISa. A very

Academy of Sciences, by physician who,
for o long period, has occupied himself with
observing the phenomena of lightning. It
is not usua,ls Known that a, great many per-
sons arc annually killed by the electric
fluid in France. From 1886 to 1864, a
period Of twenty nine years, 2,333 persons
werekilled-the largest number in one year
being one hundred and eleven persons I; the
smallest, forty-eight. Besides those killed
there were 0,700 injured It is remarked
that much larger portion Of mon are kill.
ed than women, owing to the material of
which female dress is composed. OF $50
victims, from 1864 to 1858, only 233 were
women. DR.. Bandon mentions several very
singular cases.s Hc had met with two per-
sons, each of whom had been struck twice,
and one man had three times been rendered
