STATE ITEMS.

STATE ITEMS.
A Radical editor in Marshall coun-
ty thinks that troops ought to be
sent here to look after the Wheeling
REGISTER, just as they have been sent
to Barbour to attend to the rebels OF
that region. As our contemporary thinks
the object so proper, we suggest that he
raise company himself for the pur-
pose.
The Morgantown Post says: ...r
SThe county and State can be
carried by q larger majority than
heretofore if prompt and vigorous mea-
snres are Immediately taken to bring
out every voter who will cast his ballot
with the Republican party.
BoREMAN's method is 10 disfranchise
every man who will vote with the
Democratic party. We think his plan
the best.

Mine ear attend the cry.
Yelying RAIDS, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.

BARBOUR CoUNTY.-We are informed
that Major Nicodemus, who is in charge
of the detachment OF soldiers sent tt
Barbour county, is very much Disguised
at the course that has been pursued by
the Radical Board of Registration there
and sent out word through the various
townships for those gentlemen wh'
have been notified by the Board to CONE
in and he will see that justice is dom
them-that he has been sent there to III
some good and he intends to do 1t.
We are also informed that he refused
to contract for more than one week
supply of beef at time, as he did no
think his command would be required
there long.
A correspondent Of the Coasercatir
has furnished Boreman with his mex
message. Its general tone may be in
ferred from the following:
To the Senate and House Of Delegates o
| Vest VirginiG
GENTLEMEN: For fear you nigh
think, before the forthcoming of my an
pual message, that my malice agains
rebels and copperheads had sOmewha
abated, have taken this occasion t
disabuse your minds. Providence un
fortunately appears to smile the same
upon rebels aud copperheads as it doe
upop tho loyal, notwithstanding tes
oaths and prescription. The increas'
of this population for the last VOC" DO.
n suuietG 6I serious consideration, and
hope you will give it your careful atten
tion. TO prevent the further increase
OF this population, l would recommend
the passage of a law to prevent the
rebels and copperheads from all rights
of matrimony. Should something o.
this kind not be done, the young rebels
will yet take the State of West Virginia
out of the hands of the loyal. In many
cases, understand, children are named
after Jackson, Lee, and other rebel Gen
erals, while the meanest dogs of the
country are named after me. Thi:
should be prohibited by law.
REBELS AND COPPERHEADs.
Unfortunately the rebels and copper
heads are entirely too we'll behaved
and should they be permitted to contin'
ue so until you meet, fear / will be
without materials to prepare for you
nv usual blood and thunder annual
message about the sayings and dOings
of the rebels.
The Clarksburg Telegraph exhorts its
readers to vote the Union Republican
ticket for the reason, among others
that "the despot at Washington is plot
ting the country's ruin" Considering
that the Telegraph was one of the first
to advocate the election of this same
"despot at Washington" the value ofits
advice is manifest.
The Telegraph has had some intima'
tion of the result of the late elections
but thinks that result scan have but
little effect upon the country. Con
gress is radical and its reconstruction
policy will be carried out. Pennsyl'
vania and Ohio Democratic, the Radl'
calls can carry the Presidential election
next fall" A doubtful comfort.

SILVER MINE.-We are reliably in
formed that a rich silver mine has been
discovered on Meet House Fork, OF
Middls Island creek, in Doddridge
county. The vein is from two to two
and half feet thick, and yields ninety
five per cent. Mr.. John Pritchard has
disposed his share fer $4,000. Prepa
rations are being made to sink shaft
FIkEs.-During the past week there
has been three fires in this neighborhood
two in town and one up at Cochran''
Mill. The two in town were at John
HALLS store and at the Heaton House
on Main street, near Court. The only
damage done in each case WAS a small
hole burned in the roof.
