A Wharton.

The Parkersburg Times understands
from a member of the Congresslonai
Committee that Mr.. Lamb at the Far
kersburg Convention refused lnconstln'
emily to run tor Congress on the copper
head ticket" "He we'll knew" says the
Editor that his case was hopeless"
We copy the above from the Wheeling
Intslliqencsr for the purpose of saying 10
our readers that there is not the slightest
foundation for the assertion it contains.
Mr.. LAMBS name was not before the
Congressional Committee in any shape
or torn. Of course, Mr.. WHARToN's as
sertion that he was differently informed
by a member of that committee, IS a
niece of mere invention on the part OF
that reraoious individual.
Mr. LAMB did it is true, inform num-
her of his friends that, having entered
into engagements to codify the laws OF
the State, he could not accept any nom
nation that would interfere with his
prosecuting that work, but the intlma-
ton that fear of defeat caused him TO
decline profered nomination for Con-
oress ia unsupported by fact.

The Turner Festival.

We publish to day the resolution OF
the Committee of Arrangements for the
Turner'S Festival, requesting the citizens
of Wheeling to welcome their visitors
with such decorations as may seem ht
and appropriate. We commend the sug-
gestion and hope the Committees re-
quest may meet general compliance
For the sake of our own reputation for
hospitality, let Us greet the strangers,
who will visit us next week, with such
tokens of welcome as will assure them
how highly we appreciate their presence
The class of citizens represented by the
Turner's Association are among the most
valued members of our society, and ii
ia but Just that their visitors be made
to feel that our people regard them as
guests, whose coming among us is a
source of pleasure to us all. The i'm
pressions formed while here, and which
they will bear with them on their de-
psrture, should for our own sakes be
pleasant and favorable. The good name
of the city and community will lose
nothing by their warm reception, and
we trust that our citizens may promptly
and generously respond to the request
of the Committee.

Is THE SUN GROWING SMALLER IF
Prof. Pierce, of Harvard University, read
an article before the Academy OF NAT
ural Sciences, designed to refute Iyn'
dale's work on Heat as a Source OF
Motion, and another. in which he con
troyerted the idea that the heat given
off from the sun was fed by the number
of meteors falling into it. His own idea
though not distinctly propounded, was
apparently, that the gradual oondensa'
ton of the matter of the sun was suth-
Gent to account for all the known effects.
The Nebula theory supposes an original
fire mist extending to the boundary OF
the planetary system, and gradual
condensation of the whole into our sun
and it's planets. If we take our STAND
at the period when the sun extended out
to Mercury's orbit, it would, by contract
ing, have given off its present heat Tor
100000 900 Of years, and as at present ~
is only one-quarter the density Oh our
globe, it might 60 on and give on lts neat
for as much longer. 1t has been tound
that ball of carbon of the size OF the
sun would last for fuel about 500 years;
q ball of melted iron would cool down III
about the same time. We have no
knowledge of any substance which by
it's combustion could for any geologic
period produce the heating effect OF the
sun. Hence, he seemed to think that
condensation was the source OF its neat
So that, while refuting Tyndale's Heat as
a Source of Motion, his view ID, apI
parently, that motion is the source OF
solar heat.

aNe- II is for you, the white voter and
Taxpayer, to act now, if you would act
at all for the relief of your country ana
people. DO your duty now, and the an
Gent constitutional principles WHOM
controlled our government so long, ana
under which it prospered SO well, Will
again characterize our Nationals and stare
nolicy. Neglect or evade your response
bilities now, and regret may come when
it is too late.
By prompt and energetic effort, you
can work reformation of political cor
ruptions; yon can right your wrongs
eradicate national evils, rebuke your
grasping and Ubiquitous rulers, and de-
feat the efforts of all parties and all mel,
who assail the peace and welfare OF your
land, You can do this now, because
Won ara now the voters and taxpayers.
You cannot do it when the infamy OF ne
gro suffrage becomes an accomplished
fact d when neg 70 imbecility over
balances white intelligence, making you
powerless at the polls and dividing your
privileges everywhere save at the tax
gatherer's office. There you will ever
have monopoly. There you can per-
petua ly lay down the price OF your
shame nd dishonor. There, throughout
your whole life, you can pay your trib-
ute to the grinding domination OF a
tyranny as fierce as your useless rage; as
intense and as bitter as your unavalling
cnrses, Is ease so dear as to be pur-
chased by the sacrifice of your liberties,
and enjoyed through the damning dis
grace of your manhood9 Is timely re-
sistance so distastefnl that you must
avoid it by surrender of your indie
pendence Is action so disagreeable
that you must evade it by submitting
quietly to the manaoling of your iber-
ties, and inviting, through. your passive
indifference, the forging of more letters
If this be not true, if you are worthy to
enjoy the privileges of your citizenship,
YOU will prove that worth by your &C
tive participation in the coming strug-
gle. Are you white resident citizen !
If so, let the Registrar record yourname
SO that his superiors in station may hear
YOUR protest against tyranny that
seeks to disfranehise you by oaths, and
destroy your political power by useless
and despotic forms. .

Shall We Surrender Yves, Virgininf

Shall We Surrender West yirgininf
In Wow Of the Congressional theory
that the rebel States have been made
territories by their rebellion, the ques-
ton of our continued existence as State
becomes serious and important. If that
theory be true; if, by secession the
Southern States forfeited their SOW
ereignty aud were reduced to a territori
al status, then it follows that no one Of
them, since the rebellion, could do any
legal and binding act in State capaci-
ty Virginia, for example, if her SOW
ereignty ceased when she revolted, .could
not exercise any of the powers, which
actual States might of right WELD She
could give no authoritative sanction "r
consent to the division by which West
Virginia was formed. If she were no
State, she could not consent as State;
the separation was informal aud Illegal;
West Virginia is a nullity and her gov
eminent void. Such conclusion is
inevitable, if we once admit the Radical
premise that revolution, rebellion, or
secession, may forfeit or destroy the SOW
ereignty of a State, and the same plat
form which declares Virginia detuncD
assails with fatal force the legality aud
life of our young West Virginia. Re
membering this, our people will know
how much confidence to bestow upon
those Radical organs aud leaders, who.
while endorsing and defending the ae-
tion OF Congress, are so Jealous in their
devotion to the new State.

BRNXTON COURT HOUSE,
August 20, 1866 )
Editors of the Re lister:
In looking o er a stray copy OF the
daily-which suppose will be corrob-
Grated in the WEEKLY REGISTERING
noticed the i'm sinary proceedings of a
meeting in CLAY township, with loag
list of brief "re. olutions," which meeting
took upon itse! the responsible duty to
bring out full list of county officers,
utterly iguoril the fact that there are
three other tow oships in Braxton county
that may have an equal interest in
county affairs Now, gentlemen, with
due spect to he ability and represen-
tatiye qualifications of the citizens of
Clay township We must protest against
all such hasty aud injudlcious proceed
Jugs. You are, no doubt, laboring under
the impression hat delays are danger
GUS" However, in this case we are in
clined to think that great haste makes
great waste" and aside from the ordin-
ary courtesy which should be extended
by all intelli gent bodies or political
combinations If men, we disapprove of
the course purs ned. The modus operandi
fails to harmonic with the liberal prin-
ciples of the party and is calculated to
engender discrrd, elimination and re-
elimination. Moreover, the inhamma-
tory language used in some of the afore.
said resolutions is not calculated to unite
or harmonic the feelings of majority
of the followers of Andrew johnson, and
in saving this, we would have it distinct
ly understood that we are no apclogists
for the erratic acts of the Board of
Registration OF this county, but we do
object to the Lastly and indiscriminate
use of the WORT traitor when applied TO
a combinations Of men who have voted
an additional bounty to the defenders of
the Governme,t t, though many OF their
acts may be ard are Objectionable. Not
wishing to further criticise actions,
which you have no doubt ere this learn
ed were too hasty and too cramped to
meet with the approval of a majority of
the voters of Braxton, we will suggest,
merely suggest, the propriety of each
| oOASSopOo w On SOuhps
meeting, of which due notice will here
after be given This suggestion we
make by request of different individuals
in Washington, Franklin, Lincoln, and
even citizens of Clay township, and
hope it may coincide with the views OF
q majority of the voters of Braxton coun-
ty. ..
Our principal reason, Messrs. Editors,
for not troubling you with important
communications Of late, is attributable
to the faot that excessively important
communications are very hard to get up
with the stale and limited amount OF
material at orr disposal out of which
to manufacture them, and, moreover,
Braxton county has peculiar and OBJ
stinate way of remaining in stdta quo,
which tho combined efforts of Congress
sional and State legislation fail to dis.
turb or ruffle for any considerable length
of time.

dergoing thorough investigation and
