County Convention,

Tho proceedings Of the County Con.
vention held at the Court House last
Saturday will be seen in another column.
The proceedings were characterized by
great harmony and careful elaboration.
The ticket nominated is a. good one, and
VIC trust will receive tho support Of tho
Union men Of the county. Some who
expected to receive a nomination by the
Convention arc disappo'utod, no doubt
as is always tho casc--und may think
tina: the Convention did not make tho
most jmdicious selections; but We believe
tho delegates did what thoy thought was
best for The Union cause, and. that their
decision will DO sustained BY the people
at the Oc.o Der election. <. "..# ..

couragcd to 80 there; and from the

If SO had to associate with either cop

is not apparent, VIC think, to q Union

development Of Our Resources.

We call attention to the eard Of Prof
S. Hurriep Daddov, among our new ad'
vertisemcpts. He visits tho tKanawhu
Valley in tho interests Of many Eastern
capitalists, for tho double purpose Of
making professional examinations Of our
coal, iron and oil leads, and aiding in their
development by sayocatiOg the cOnnoc'
ton Of. tho present. systems Of railroads
10 Virginia and North Carolina with the
rivers of the West, uia the Valley Of tho
Groat Kanawha. A series Of papers arc
now in course Of publication in the
Washington Chronicle on this subject
from his pen.
Much Of our space is given this week
to some interesting extracts from Coal,
Iron and Oa," of which this gCut:cma q
is tho principal author.
Those who arc familiar with tho min.
eral resources Of this portion Of West
Virginia will read with great interest
these extracts, which uro by no means an
cxtravagant 'represon tatiou, but rather
fall below what might DO said in regard
to the quantity and variety Of tho min.
erals existing in this locality. The map
Of the country 50 clearly exhibits tho &C.
feasibility of these iuexhaustiblo rosour.
COS to lines Of transportation already pro-
vidcd by nature, some Of which neod i'm.
proyemcnt, and artificial lines in con-
temptation Of creation, that il docs not
seeu necessa-yto elaborate that subject.
&c. Pho proximity Of ttteso minerals TO
each othor is q muttor Of vital import
ance. The coal of. tho Kanawha Valley
will ultimately attract to this section tho
iron orc, lead, copper, and other miner
OILS Of the Kanuwha, Elk, Coal, Gaulcy,
Grccubricr and Now rivers, reaching into
North Carolina. DO ..
The coal near Pittsburg attracts these
metals from thousands Of miles away
from that poipt, although they have to
be carried against tho current; but
Charleston may receive them for the
purpose of manufacture, with the cur.
rents Of the streams above us, or upon o
doxn.hill grade of o railroad, the con.
struction Of which is now regarded us a
certainty" '..' 49, - -. 3. .'..''
If the coal Of pi.tshurg, without tho
proximity Of these other resources, has
inspired sufficient enterprise to build up
