CLAY TOWNSHIP, WoOD COUNTY.
W. Va, July 18th, le67.
Editor of the Register:
Having noticed several letters in yonr
paper from parties in different parts OF
the State, touching on politics, agricui-
ture, religion and morality, l just
thought it would not be amisS to say a
few words in behalf of this part OF the
land. In the first place | would suggest
that the Congress of the Radical party
be requested to change the current of the
Little Kanawha River, so as to make 1t
run east instead Of west, and if the wa
ters refuse to obey the action of Con-
gress, thadthey order. .B. Butler ont here
TO enforce the dictate. 1t is to be hoped
that Congress will bestow about mil
lion of dollars OH b. Butler before ship
ming him to the Kanawha Valley, rs
greenbacks are getting very rusty and
scarce here ON account of the efoxes having
caught nearly all oui geese. We have
sent TO Greenland for cargo OF geese,
but am afraid that they may freeze up
en- route. The Radical Congress seem to
be nearly out of business, which is the
cause of the suggestion made above.
They seem &c be seeking whom they
NAV devour. 1t appears that they can
not get their impeachment committee
to report before the middle of October,
and | should like To assist them III tind-
ing something to do that they may earn
their five thousand dollars of the peo-
ple's money. If they cannot find any
thing else to do they might pass apoth-
er bankrupt law to apply to banks and
governments, rs the whole thing will
be bankrupt before the people pay one
more quota of taxes.
Now, Mr.. Editor, morality has almost
played out in all parts OF this once great
Republic. They seem To be descending
lower and lower Murder, rapine and
lewdness are stalking forth throughout
the length and breadth OF the country
Thank the Good Being there isone thing
that seems to be prospering, (namely)
farming. The people hereabouts ART
laboring very hard TO raise crops, and
il appears that they will be rewarded
for their labor, for corn, oats and pota'
toes look well and bid fair for Il good
good Weld. So much for the farming
community. Now for the all-iinportani
part of my subject the preparation OF
the immortal part of mankind for fai
off and better world than this. / au
very fearful that this all-important sub
ject is being very fearfully neglected
The most of the preachers are lost in the
fog. The negro and politics have very
much be-addlcd their brains.
They brought on the war and are not
satisfied yet, but are smelling around
after the spoils. A great many of them
have almost entirely lost sight of theiI
flocks. The lion roareth and the whang
doodle mourneth for his first bOrD, aud
we'll they might.
Now, Mr.. Editor, We hear down here
that old Brownlow is dead, and, If so
peace to his ashes, and the devil rul
away with his hole.
There is one thing that / forgot Il
suggest to Congress: our breed Of chick
ems are getting so large that they can
not get into the chicken houses. We
hope that Congress will pass law pro
hibiting their growing so large.
Hoping that Fred. Douglass may b'
the next President and give the Radi
Gals negro to their hearts content.
