The Rriaxepor, Pos, Once.

We regret to express our belief that
the office at Bridgeport, West Virginia,
is most wretchedly managed. Com,
plants are reaching us almost daily OF
the carelessness, or something worse,
with which it's business is conducted.
The REGISTER, which we are satisfied
goes to that Office with uniform regu-
larity, reaches its subscribers in very
irregular and unsatisfactory manner.
Some days upon which the Weekly
REGISTERS are due there, none are given
ont at other times, subscriber will
receive the accumulated issues of two
or three weeks, each paper bearing the
marks of opening and handling. We
want to say right here that if this
state of things continues we shall place
the matter before the proper authorities
for settlement. A change was made at
the Bridgeport office last Fall, chiefly
because of incompetency in its manage
ment, but the incumbent was permit
ted, at the solicitation of numerous cit
izens, to retain the place. We are in
clined to think that their sympathy was
misplaced. At any rate, if there is not a
change for the better in the conducting
of that concern, the powers that be will
have an opportunity of seeing how
postal affairs are conducted at Bridge
port, and it is possible they may be able
to suggest some remedy.

FROM MARSHALL COUNTY.
An AInrm and a Retreat Discretion
the n etter Part Of valor.
MoUNDsvIILE, w. Va,
February Is, 1867.

FEBRUARY 10, lcof.
Editor Of the Register:
The National, o paper published at
the seat of the penitentiary OF West
Va. and the citizens of this place gen.
orally, came down like a thousand OF
brick the other day upon . certain Col
onel who resides near town, for n sup
posed part that he Lad been playing as
a lobby member in the House of Dele
gates, now in session in your city, charg.
ing him with having received a bribe
from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company in the shape Of free pass
over their road for life, in consideration
of which he was to aid the company to
get through the Legislature bill di-
rectly in opposition to the interest OF
the people of Marshall county, and so
intense was the excitement and feeling
against the brave fellow, who hap
pened to be in town about the
time the thing first began to be noised
about, and being advised by his friends
that there was storm driving that
might Mt any moment burst over his de-
voted head in the shape Of n visit from
a mob; and as the Colonel knew that
our town is place Of rendezvous for
these bands, who can, by a secret signal
given from either Captain II. or Lieu
tenant W., assemble their clan at mo-
ment's warning and capture or slay
their victim before he is aware from
whence the blow comes, having full
knowledge, then, Of the danger by
which he was surrounded, he came to
the conclusion-and l think very WISE
ly, too-that discretion was the better
part of valor. and the last thing that
was seen of him was the tip end of his
military coat tail as he disappeared at
the rate of two-forty over the brow OF
hill in the direction OF his home,
where he no doubt congratulated him
self upon having retreated in due sea
SON and oil in good order.
No one understands that part OF mill
tary tactics and discipline in regard to
conducting retreats, better than our
friend the Colonel, for it was noticea-
BILE fact that during the late war when
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1867-02-20

ever he arrived in our town from the
scene of conflict, battle was sure TO
come off in few days after, showing
that his military genius was never at
fault, for when danger was most immi
nent, he was always found in the fore
front of retreat, and if ever another
contingency arises, such as the citizens
of this place now complain of, l would
advise Capt. H. to move with a great
deal of caution and eircumspection in
the matter, for the Col. is like the Irish
mans flea, when you think you have
your hand upon him he isn't there.
