The West YIrEInIh Election Eext
MISUNDERSTANDING Accounts.
The Clarksburg Telegraph coming to
hand last evening, says:
We have most cheering accounts
from all parts of West Virginia. The
Union party is thoroughly organized
and at work. There is but little, II any
disatfection in the Union party any
where In the State. Here in Harrison
county every thing is going right.
We trust that the good news pub
lished by the Telegraph will be fully
confirmed at the polls on election day.
While we do not want our people to
take anything for granted as to their
prospects save only as their works cor
responded to their faith, yet we wish
them to know that they have only to
do their work unitedly and thoroughly
to achieve glorious victory. Wewant
to see none of that over confidence that
begets relaxation or supineues, but in
stead of it that animation and energy
that are born of purpose to
win victory for the good of a great
cause. There is no sort OF reasona-
BILE doubt that we shall triumph
in the coming election if our
people make even an approximate to a
proper effort. But recollect that every
county must do its own peculiar part
in the contest. We are not voting for
a State ticket, nor for members OF Con
gress, but for county representatives in
the legislature. In Ohio the State ticket
was carried, and the legislature lost.
This shows the importance of every
Union vote in every township of the
State being polled. We appeal to those
who wish well TO the cause to omit no
opportunity to impress this fact upon
the attention OF the Union voters.
WE devote considerable space on our
first page this morning to the proceed
ings of the NJ. f. Sunday School Insti-
tute, in,session for the last three days in
this city. And speaking OF Sunday
School Institutes, we may mention that
we have before us the Philadelphia
Sunday School Times of the 9th, in
which we find, among others. some re-
marks made by Rev. Mr.. Barnitz, OF
Wheeling, ut meeting there, in regard
to the School and Church with which
he is connected in our midst. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the report OF
his remarks:
How are we to reach these hidden
jewels? First ofall. by sympathy aud
counsel. o, what power Is IN look, II

heart! Take the outcast ones by the
right hand. Grasp that hand heartily.
Raise them mp by it. When Peter and
John entered the temple and found at
the gate the impotent man, they not

up which strengthens the feet and an

enables him to walk and leap" to the
school-room, which is, perhaps, the only
pleasant spot on earth to him.
There are those, again, who can only
be reached By pecHnid'y Succor; who
have not sufficient to satisfy their
hunger. or clothe their nakedness.
Often does an earnest but mistaken
teacher start upon his visiting tour
with Testaments and tracts, when
"cold Yictuals," Tor, better still, IGdrHt
victuals,l and CASTOR clothes, would be
more Christ-like accomplishments. Il

mission visitor, who thought to feed
the soul, when the body was famlsb-

Again, there are some whom moth
ing will reach as quickly as music. In
some of the wretcned homes the speak
er had visited, where all was confusion
and disorder, the wrHpt attention OF
children and parents was secured at
once by striking upon Il strain like
