A MOTHER PRIZE SONG.

BY ALAMP POST.
No Soap beneath the burning Sun
Need ever hope to have the run
Now being made by David's Prize,
A fact no knowing one denies.
'Tis made of stock-the very best
Now this is SO, and not a Jest,
To simply raise the laugh or sneer,
Nor yet the kind, approving cheer.
No trashy stuff, impure unsound-
Such as In many soaps abound,
Shall e'er in David's Prize be found.
For bleaching clothes as white as snow,
King David's Prize is now The go;
In fact, It's antecedents prove
That every word Of the above
Is guaranteed beyond doubt
A fact no honest man will scout.

From the Kanawha Republican,

FROM luc III isepupiiN'h't
On Tuesday evening of last week, q
eolored woman, residing with family
on the opposite side of the river, was
drowned. 1t appears that she had been
on the hills, picking berries, aud on her
return said she would 60 to the river,
which runs Just back Of the house, and
wash. She did so, and it is supposed
she got in beyond her depth and was
drowned. Her body was fonnd the next
day, and an inquest held.
Our city, on Monday afternoon, was
the scene of some little excitement.
Cause, the arrival of Mark Grayson, the
pedestrian, who started from the city of
Richmond on Tuesday morning, the l4th
inst, aud is to walk from that place to
Omaha city, in Nebraska, distance OF
1858 miles, in forty-seven consecutive
walking days-that is, he is not to trav-
el on Sundays. - ~
He is apparently % or % years of
age, looks younger, if anything, of a
1.-the, actiSe form, not over feet or
\ inches high, and of fair complexion.
He is n better walker than talker, al
thoush he does very we'll in the latter
line. This little walk of nearly 2OOO
miles. ia only trial trip, to test his
nowers. We understand, that when he
returns, he is to undertake the job, un-
der a wager, of walking from New York
city to San Francisco, in California
He left here on yesterday morning
about 2 o'clock.

Democracy offers one currency for
Rich and Poor-Depreciated Paper
Albany Journal. ....
Democracy offers no currency for
either rich or poor, for the very simple
reason that it has no power in the fe:-
eral government-has had none since
1860. Republicanism has been for
eight years, and is now, in full control
of the finances. Upon handing over
the government to Republicanism,
Democracy left gold the one currency
for all. Republicanism invented de-
preciated paper and paid it out to the
soldier, the widow, the orphan, the
farmer, the mechanic, the laborer-
everybody except the bondholder. For
the bondholder alone, exempted by it
FROM taxation, did Republicanism re-
serve the gold currency of Democracy.
To this unjust discrimination of Repub-
licanism-gold for the tax-exempt rich
and deprecated paper for the poor
Democracy demurs. Against this ont.
rage upon the etax.paying masses Democ-
racy protests. And it demands that If
the deprecated paper of Republicanism
is to be legal tender currency, as 1T
has been made by Republieanism, and
so long as it may be legal tender cur
rency, it shall be legal tender for rich
and poor alike-for the tax-exempt
bond holder rs well as for the tax rid
den hod .carrier.-Rochtster Union.

Hon. w. Z. stevenson.

1t has been frequently stated and
never denied, as far as we have heard,
that this gentleman at, or near, Marlet-
IA, last fall, made speech in advocacy
of negro suffrage. Will he be kind
enough to inform us through the press
whether he did or did not make such
speech
And especially whether he did not in
his speech advocate the claims of the
party and candidates who were advoca-
ting negro sntfragef
And whether he and negro did not
speak from the same stand, on the same
day, advocating the election of the
same candida'es' .

FROM GREENBRIER co.
THE GLEN, GREENBRIER COUNTY,
July 81, 1863.


Editors OF the Register .E, ~.
We have Just heard Of the noinina
tions made by the Grafton Convention
With such ticket, and with proper ex-
er.ions, our success this fall is certain
and West Virginia will be redeemed and
disenthralled. There will be meeting
in Lewisburg on the 4th proximo to
ratify the nominations, when the cam
paign will be regularly opened by Il
speech by Frank Hereford, ESD The
people of this oition of the State are
much gratifed ty the appointment Of
Mr.. Hereford. He has ability, zeal and
eloqucnce, and being enlisted in the
cause of the right will render good
account of himself. trust that during
the campaign he may meet Mr.. Steven
son on the stump. By the way, We have
heard that this gentleman, whose name
heads the Radical ticket, made his ad-
vent into West Virginia as the propa-
gandist of free. .lovism and sundry other
"isms" generated in New England. Can
you give us briefly his biographyf
The Radicals here are still in confu-
sion as to the judgeship. l think it
probable that they will have two can
didates in the field, Col. Mcpherson
and Judge Harrison. The Judge can
not yield without struggle. They
have called two Judicial Conventions,
one at Lewisburg and the other at
Union. We, Of course, take no interest
in the contest between these two geH-
tlemen, but "bide our time" Nous rer-
rOns ce que nous rerrORs.
The Democrats are buoyant and con-
fdent, and intend to work constantly
and with energy to secure the great OBJ
ject in view-the utter demolition of
radicalism. Every day brings acces.-
sions to our ranks. The muttcring of
the coming storm which is to sweep his
party from the earth has penetrated the
ears even of old Joe, and our Judge,
who but Il short time since, threatened
to have certain persons, whose conduct
was not in accordance with his wishes,
in his ("my") Jail, now "roosts very
low" and would willingly, l think,
drop inGo the arms of the Democracy If
they would but open to receive him.
But enough Of pelitics. We have fine
crops and reasonable weather, and our
mountains are rapidly filling up with
visitors from all portions of the conn
try. There are already more than five
hundred visitors at tho White Sulphur
Springs. The lessees of this property
are the Messrs. Psyton, formerly OF
Stanton and Charlottesville, and wide
ly and favorably known as hotel men.
They have greatly improved the build
ings and all the appointments of the
place-haye fine band and furnish ex-
cellent fare. The White Sulphur
Springs property is one of the most at
tractive places on the continent. 1t is
said that several Northern capitalists
have looked upon it with longing eyes,
knowing that when the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad reaches it (as it will
next summer) it will be tho most popu-
lar and profitable watering place in the
Union.
Wo congratulate You upon having SO
able and popular 4 candidate for Con-
gress in your district. No one in the
State has done Hore for the party or is
better entitled to any honor which it
can beStow than Mr.. Walker.
Yours, DEMOS.

Owning the Corn.

The Radicals of this State are COM
PEELED TO confess the popularity of the
theory of greenback redemption as set
forth in the Democratic platform. Some
of them are stupidity attempting to
show that the Chicago platform also
means greenbacks for bonds. A gentle
mau named ATKINSON, of Hancock
county, whose speech at New Cumber-
land is published in the intelligeneer Of
Saturday, makes the following modest
declaration:
/. They (the Demoorats) demand the
payment of the public debt as rapidly
as possible; an economical administra-
tion of the Government, and that when
the bonds are not payable in gold, they
should be paid ia the lawful money Of
tho United States. Just thc Republican
doctrine, snly that we seek to have our
lawful money (greenbacks) made as
good rs gold, &c, &c., &C. 90
Here is tho New York Tribnne's opin-
ion of TuAD. STEVENS, who, from prin-
ciple, and Not through fear, declares in
favor of paying the bonds in green
backs:
MIR. Stevens threatened to secede and
vote for Seymour and Blair, IL the Re-
publicans did not conform to his Green
back theory rs To the payment OF the
national debt. As we arc not accus-
toned to be bullied into swindling, we
told him that the Republican party
would never adopt his repudioting
crochet-sO, If he is going to leave us
on that issue, he might better go ahead
at once.
We read no man out Of any party, but
we insist that, if the natioual creditors
are to be swindled, the party that hates
them for lending their money to pnt
down the rebellion shall do it; and it
9iU.
Are Mr.. ATKINSON and the Radicals
of Hancock county going into the
"swindling" business, to which GREE
LEY refers Are they going to adopt this
"repudiating crochet" along with the
Democratsi Or are they merely cater.
ing to public opinion, when they at.
tempt to show that the financial planks
of the two platforms are Identical
We arc glad to see this endorsement
of the greenback idea from Radical
sources. AS can easily be shown, there
is no room for Republican who ap-
proves it, outside the Democratic party
Doubtless Mr.. ATKINSON will soon be
applying for admission. Having aban'
doned all opposition to the Democracy
upon one of the most important issues
now before the people, it will not be
long before he identities himself with
that party on all other questions. The
doors are still open. q

One of the many "small steals" for
which the Radical Rump is noted, is the
"capitol police" which consists OF some
forty FIVE men, and costs annually sl !
745. The whole work was formerly
done by half dozen men, at ordinary
pay. Now o common policeman gets

Hon. W. G.. Browns Letter OF Ac-
Ccpinncc.

kINGwOOD, July I'D, 1868.
GENTLEMEN Il have received yonr
very kind and tlattering letter, inform
ing me that ! was nominated by my po.
litical friends at Grafton on the 10th
inst, as their candidate to represent the
Second District in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Until after the Convention
was not aware that my nomination for
this high position was contemplated,
and could now wish that the Conven
tion ha,l had conferred this honor upon
some younger and moro active man.
Not that do not highly appreciate this
distinction, but owing to the import
ancc Of fully presenting to the people Of
every county in the District, the value
and virtue of what is known as the
Pendleton theory, as we'll as of the Ell.
tire platform of principles enunciatch
by the New York Convention, have
been extremely anxious to see full
ticket composed of young, patriotic
and active mon whose voices could be
heard in every township in the State,
pleading in behalf of liberty, equal
rights and Constitutional law.
Bnt the nomination having been
made. I do not feel at liberty to decline
it. AS / would do nothing to lessen our
chances of success, so | would avoid no
duty which may he necessary to adj
vance the cause whose triumph / desire
more than anything else this world can
bestow.
In conclusion, oan only say to yeu
and the other friends who have honorcd
me with this nomination, and who have
so oftcn honored me heretofore, that
should be elected i will labor-unceas-
ingly labor-to restore peace and good
will among all the people, States and
sections of our common country, so
that the burdens and blessings OF our
admirable Government may fall equally
upon all. a.,
l shall be glad to meet you, gentle
men, frequently during the coming can
vass. May God give you health and
strength to battle nobly for the right,
for your country, your whole country
and nothing short of your country.
