harsh words and abusive epithets. Let
us, therefore, lay aside every feeling OF
passion and prejudice, and enter upon
the settlement of these questions, In
that spirit and temper inculeated by
the Saviour of mankind, before whom
we must all shortly appear and render
our account of the manner in which we
have discharged the responsible duties
thrown upon us in this emergency.
JAMES H. FURGUsON."
Neither the public nor the commit
tee of investigation, will perceive why
a man honestly holding such views as
we have quoted, should be made by
copperheads the victim of political
conspiracy. On the other hand, all par
ties can understand how hatural it
would be for corrupt politician III
dread of punishment for an infamous
offense, to feign such sentiments in or
der to find favor with those whose in
fuence might operate upon the pardon
ing power. We cannot see why men
like Jndge RICE should plot against
on political grounds, but we
can see why FURGUsoN should make
false professions to them for personal
reasons, and sham political conviction
and conversion in order to escape more
practical and less agreeable sort of con-
viction, then impending. We confess
to some difficulty in understanding how
a man honestly entertaining the views
we have quoted could steal, but in view
of this gentleman's precedent course,
and of his subsequent reputation of
the doctrines he advocated in the fall
of '65, the difficulty is entirely removed,
and such exploits as we have indicated
are clearly brought within the limits of

,lr. Mann and the Pictures.

EAGLE Tp., HARRISON, Co., w. Va, !
January p, 1867. !
Editor of the Register
l see in your paper of-inst. that
you comment severely upon the resolu-
ton lately offered in the West Virginia
Legislature by Mr.. Mann, ofGreenbrier,
forbidding the sale of Yankee portraits
of General Lee and Stonewall Jackson
in our State.
Now, Mr.. Editor, am an old man,
and very plain in my talk. Dir. Mann
is a true and patriotic Virginian. Mr..
Maun has seen the miserable daubs that
have been sold by Yankee pedlars, and
them only, Us portraits of those illustrl
Gus men. Mr.. Man is far-seeing
man; he sees through Yankee character
He wishes to keep these hungry, lean
vendcrs of brass jewelry, rat and
bed bug exterminators and carica-
lures of great and good men
from plying their vocation IN
our new State. l. like Mr.. Mann,
have been troubled by such low ,tetters.
One of them came into our settlement
many wears ago and sold my old woman
(who belongs to meeting) pair OF old
shoes which he swore were the shoes
worn by the Apostle Paul. She beng
very religious, and wanting to show
them to her preacher, gave him
gave him five yards of home
made linsey, four yards do. flannel, two
pair do. socks and my wedding breeches.
Yank left Immediately. Next day an
Irishman came to our house with bran
new pair of boots on. My wife told HIM
"she had pair of shoes worth thou
sand such boots, for they had
heen worn by the 'Postle Paul"
The Irishman, with great reverence,
he%ced TO see them. Ny wife opened
the chest and took the shoes from un.
der her Sunday shawl. "Be JaGcrs,
said he, Mrs. Jones, them's my OLD pro-
cans which | left 1T the forks OF the
road whin put on my new boots VS.
tcrday." Ny wife then boiled over. .
The. other day a peddling sneak thlei
came to orr house Offering TO sell pic-
tures of Lee and Jackson. Now my
wife. she had book that come from
Richmond with pictures of them great
men in il. When she saw his picture,
she asked him where he came from. lie
replied "from Bosting." She said,
"You Internal Yank, they are no more
likeLee and Jackson than two mean bob.
tailed terriers are like two great lions"
Now. Mr.. Editor, this is all true, and
Mr.. Mann deserves our thanks for try
ing to keep such swindlinS vasahonds
out of the State. He does not wish the
children of future generations to look
upon such counterfeit daubs (Which are
made and sold only for the purpose OF
quilting the people) rs true portraits OF
such great men.
And for you, Mr.. Editor, to comment
upon Mr.. Mann as you did is more than
can stand, and wish you to scratch
NV name from of your list, and you Will
please tell Mr.. Mann that my wife
who knows he is a respectable virgin
ian, says, "He may have 'postle PauIs
shoes to put beside all the miserable
Yankee pictures, which swindlers from
Massachusetts, are trying to pass on our
people as good, and which he is so OPP
posed to being circulated
She sends her love to him because she
says she knows he is respectable and
most honorable Virginia gentleman.
Yours not respectfully,
GEORGE W. WASHINGTON JONES.

Impcnching the President - Whai
T,ey Think Of 10 in France.

A Paris letter says: All other news
has palcd before the intelligence which
reaches us from the United States.
Wherever you go, with whosoever you
speak, whatever paper you take up,
nothing is discussed but the "impeach-
ment of the President" Very little
opinion is, rs yet, expressed OH the SUBJ
iect. Astonishment is the prevailing
feeling. The Americans, say the French,
have brought everybody to account ex-
cept their own Chief Magistrate, and now
they are going to try him! Their Con-
stitution has stood every wrench ap-
piled to it during the civil war, and
came off with triumph, and now they
are determined to show that 1t can
equally stand the tension of party con-
flict. Wonderful people! There is no
understanding them! And indeed, 1t
is with the latter exclamation that
most French incubations upon Amerl-
cans and their government usually end.
They give up attempting to ooinpre,
hend, and are for the most part
content only to envy and admire.
The seriousness Of the present pro-
ceeding and crisis has, however, forci-
bly, struck that portion of the French
public which is in the habit of bestow-
ing most attention and discussion upon
American affairs, and the tone of such
liberal and democratic journals rs the
Temps, the Presse, and others Of the same
class, may be said to be that Of alarm.
The Temps trusts that measures will
not be carried to extremities, and thinks
that "eyen the serious faults of the
American President hardly bring him
within the rigor ofthe Constitution, or
Justify so hazardous q step as the
removal of the first Magistrate OF the
Republic The Presss reproaches the
President with hunting unsuccessfully
after popularity at home by assuming
an unnecessarily hostile attitude to-
wards France in the Mexican question.
Nevertheless. it hopes that ''the polit-
ical good sense which sustained the
American Republic through its late
trials will not fail the statesmen of
the Union at the present point" You
will perceive, from the tone Of the
above remarks, that the deep interest
excited by what is passing at
home is not unattended with shade of
anxiety, and that the future action of
Congress will be watched here with no
slight attention. Amongst American
residents, it is needless TO say how
great has been the sensation created by
the late intelligence. Nothing else is
talked of; and the discussion is all the
more animated from the multitudinous
collection of parties and opinions
which are collected together in this
European Babel.

nInrrinxe Under Dimculties.

The Smithfield (Ky.) Times, ofthe 18th
tells the following story:
Some time since we told the parents
in this community that elopements,
like measles, were catching, and when
once inauguratcd are very difficult to
stop. Several have occurred since then,
and the last one only last Sunday. 1t
was the old story of love, and an effort
on the part of the friends to induce the
girl to marry another man than the one
of her choice. But love is shrewd, and
in this case showed his cunning to a
successful degree. 1t was the arrange
ment that the young lady, very lovely
one, Miss Fanny Golfer, was to marry
the third party in about two weeks, n
Mr.. c., of Livingston county. Last
Sunday morning she came to church OIL
horseback with lady friend who lives
few miles in the country. The horses
were hitched at respectful distance
from the church. The ladies entered,
took seats, and then commenced some
neat maneuvering. Mr.. Mart Wilson,
of Smithland, the bridegroom elect,
watched them very closely, having the
lynx-like eye of friend to assist him.
When the services well nigh concluded,
Miss Golfer with her lady friend arose
and quilted the church quietly, follow
ed almost instantly by Wilson and his
friend. The horses were brought, the
ladies mounted, and the whole party
proceeded down the river opposite Pull
Tight-that haven of love, in Illinois
when u skin WAS procured, and they
crossed the Ohio through the drifting,
rushing ice, never fearing danger, to
the other side, where Wilson and Miss
Fanny were married in five minutes af-
ter landing, In two hours the whole
party returned to town and proceeded
forthwith to Mr.. Wilson's mothers i'll
the country only few miles. The Ia,
dy's brother got wind of the affair, and
endeavored to get to Pull Tight in time
to prevent the marriage but failed.
And we are glad of it, too. The bride
and bridegroom loved each other, she
was of age, and it was proper that they
should marry. Mr.. Wilson is an indus
trious, respectable young gentleman,
and worthy q lady rs accomplished as
his young bride. May they live happy
together, and we doubt not they will.

Still, no one has the courage to sound the
trumpet of reform, and do for the youth of
this town, what they are helpless to do for
themselves.
These are times of progress.
The youth of twenty should be as well in

Now let me ask are cur schools as good
as they were, thirty years ago?
contend they are not. Then, why should
our youth be any more advanced than those
of thirty years ago? Are we dealing honestly
