Letters from the People,
FROM MARSHALL COUNTY
ROSBY'S Rock, MARSHALL Co, !

ROSBY'S Rock, MARSHALL Co.,
WEST Va, February 20, lS6S.
Editor of the Register:
]. About the second year, and third
month after the advent of King Arthur,
the "loyalist," he ascended an exceed
ingly high mount, and taught the, peo-
pie saying:
,, Blessed are the bondholders, for
they shall make money, and ride in
fine chariOts, and drink wine and school
their children, and live in pomp and
very great splendOr, and shall pay no
taxes.
3. Blessed are those who are entrust-
ed with the contingent fund, for they
will grow rich and no person will know
how.
4. Blessed are the managers of the
| lunatic Asylum, for they can steal
money and commit lewdness, and find
favor in the sight of the great king.
). Blessed are the managers OF the
Penitentiary, for they can draw heavy
sums of money from the State treasury,
speculate on the same and render no
account thereof.
| 6. Blessed are those in other States,
who steal carpet sacks and geese, for they
can come to West Virginia and get lu-
erative offices.
Z. Blessed are those who violate the
Constitution of the United States, and
State of West Virginia, for they shall
be called "lOyal."
3. Blessed is the man that went i'll to
the rebel army, for he can come back,
make his confession to the king and
get his vote.
Q. Blessed is the man who goes to Con-
gress and violates the Constitution ans,
laws of his country, and even his most
sacred pledges, for he shall return and
be called "loyal."
10. Blessed are the war-makcrs for
they shall inherit the State of West
Virginia, and live on treasury pap.
II. Blessed is Ben. Butler il he did
steal spoons for he can still get office,
and be called great, aud have dominion
over publicans and sinners, such as the
"copperheads.' -,
Il. Blessed is Thad. Stevens, if he did
/ try to break up the State of Pennsyl-
yania, for he is now member of Con-
eress, and is called truly "loyal."
l3. Blessed is the man who speaks all
manner of evil about the Constitution
of the United States, even call 1t a
"league with help forhe shall be called
"loyal" and hold fat Offices.
IA. Blessed is Nat. Harrison, II he
was in the rebel army, for he came to
West Virginia and joined the Radical
party, and is now called "loyal." =,
Is. Blessed are those who ere evil
spoken of by the "copperheads" and
democrats" for great is their reward, IN
and about the city of Wheeling. Their
names shall be called great and shall
be called great and shall have dominion
over the land of West Virginia.
l6. After the king had thus spoken,
he stole three pecks of bran out of which
he made pudding, and all of his disci-
Piles did eat.
IL. After which they all returned to
their homes cheerful and happy!

Comm oslorc Tucker.

AT last we have biography of this gallant
naval officer of the Revolution, from a skill
iul and competent hand, "The life of Samue,
Tucker, Commodore in the American Revo-
luton; BY John II. Sheppard A. NJ Librari
an of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society" The title page also contains this ap-
proprate motto from ex-President John
Adams-"His biography would make a con-
spicuous figure even at this day in the naval
annals of the United States' What more
need be said after this authority, than that we
have this desired biography from man who
knew and loved the subject of his work, and
has had access to all the materials extant rel
ative to his life and character. This task hat
been so long neglected that the noble deeds of
this once conspicuous officer, who nobly H.
lustrated the annals of our great war of inde-
pendence, had almost faded from the memorv
of the nation which he labored most effeetual-
ly to establish.
Commodore Tucker was born in Marblehead
in 1747. His early life was full of romance; al
the age OF twelve, in 1869, he ran away from
home and shipped on board the Royal George,
an English vessel of war, in which, and in the
merchant service, he passed the following
seventeen years of life, as foremast hand, mate
and master, visiting various parts of the world,
and encountering many adventures, IN winch
he manifested great skill in his profession. In
January 1776, by the favor of Robert Morris,
the distinguished financier of the Revolution,
he obtained from General Washington CON-
mission as Captain of the armed schooner
r,o,,1-lin in the service of the United Colonies
one of four armed schooners fitted out by Con-

requisite of good cheese is good clean milk
A very little foreign substance tells largely
in milk, more than in almost any other fluid
Our cheese makers must think of this and
govern themselves accordingly.
Mf. willard says the milk rooms are per-
feet models of neatness, having stone floors
and the joints cemented together so that no
slops or decomposed milk can find entrance.
They are situated in a cool airy place. and
the walls are of stone or hollow brick, thus
rendering them cool and of even temperature.
Every part is well ventilated and beyond the
reach Of disagreeabie or fetid odOrs, and all
The dishes and utensils and floors are kept
perfectly clean and sweet,
How will such a description compare with
some OF our cheese rooms? This is an i'm
portant question. If we mistake not we have
visited some cheese rooms that smet rather
sour and the odors arising from floors, walls.
tubs, pals and strainers were anything but
agreeable. Now in such a room it is quite
impossible to make good cheese or firkin
of sweet butter. As before stated milk is a
good absorbent OF bad odors, and it holds
them.
No wonder the English cheese made in
such clean, sweet rooms excels ours in fine,
clean, agreeable flavor which is distinguish
ed characteristic of their choice cheesees.
How can such clean favored cheese be made
among fetid odors of whey slops, decomposed
milk and dirty dishes? Let it be remembered
too that this putrid incubation does not show
its whole character at first, but, like an insid-
ious poison in the blood, increases from week
TO week until the cheese sends out the "most
villanous smell that ever offended nostrils." /"
Mr. Willard says he has been extremely
mortified while testing cheese abroad, to catch
the taste and smell of putrid rennet and OF
the stables. Putrd rennet Yes, and too
much of it, That is one great trouble with
some OF our chees makers. No wonder the
mother fly is anxious to deposit her eggs in
such cheese, for there she knows by the
smell that she will quickly hatch into life and
grow fat. But we have now exceeded our
limits. In another article we shall speak of
this matter again, and show more of the pro-
cess OF making Cheddar cheese.

Except that on c,nlpound interest notes

Z policy mUst be based upon a vast de-
crease OF our annual expenditures, as re-
commended in my hnancial letter Of
November last. We must abolish the
Freedman's Bureau; we must recall the
army from the South, and reduce it to =
! moderate peace establishment. We
must terminate there the Joint rule of
the negro and the bgyouet, land, slavery
and secession having been forever aban-
doned, permit the Southern States, in
obedience to the Federal Constitution, to
govern themselves as before the rebel
HoD. The fact of this vast increase of
the annual interest OF the public debt is
not disputed question. II rests on tram
scripts from the books of the Treasury
and cannot be dsnied. This item OF ex-
peGditures for the Increased annual inter
ess OF the public debt is nearly equal to
double toe entire yearly expenditures Of
slr. POIk's administration bsfore the
Mexican war, and nearly equal to its sub
sequent annual expenditures, including
the war and heavy payments for the
principal and interest Of the public debt.
But even if we take the 30th OF Novem-
Der last, the date of the last annual re-
port Of the Secretary of the Treasury, we
find the increased annual interest, as cur
reney, Of the public debt, $26, ,574, ,329
from the Both Of November last C1S67) to
the 3lst August, 1858, being an augmen-
tation at the rate of three millions of dol
lsrs month. or thirty-six millions of
dollars year. At this rate Of increased
annual expenditure for interest only on
the S0th of November, 1853, little over
year, this single item Of yearly dis
huysements would reseh seventy-two
millions Of dollars. Itis clear, then, that
the Radical policy leads rapidly and cer-
tainlg to national bankruptcy, and that
nothing can save US put a change OF men

letter from the Editor.

-" Behejd on neighboring hill herd o.
asses viewing and rerielring me "-Pope's Mar
I Qssolia.
TUSCALOOSA, ALA., September 80. 1868.
Editor Cincinnati Enquirer:
Dear Sir. Ny attention has been
| called TO the disingenuous uses to which a
woOd-cut, executed by 0ne Ofthe younger
employees of the Independent Monitor
Office, has been perverted by the Cinci1
natl Commercial, of your city. l allude
to the caricature Of the hanging carpet
bagger in nay issue OF Septembe 1st.
! The sketch was understood by every
one here to be piece OF pleasantly,
gotten up, In spirit Of fun, by the devils
OF the Monitor offiee-as 3 scareerOw for
an incendiary earpet-bagger from Ohio
one A. s. Lakin-and an Alabams seal
RWsg, one N. B. Cloud-Who were In
this locality on . short visit, with exsg-
| gerated ideas Of their supposed personal
danger. Had 1t been intended seriously,
would never have allowed It to 90 into
the columns OF the Monitor nor as such
would 1t have met the appreciation Of
| one man Ia the county, outside Of the
walls of cur State Lunatic Asylum. In
this wood-cut the mythicalKU Klux were
represented as q retreating jaekass,
which, Of Itself, should have been suffi-
ciently suggestive to the Commercial
man that grim Joke was attempted 70
be perpetrated at the expense of those
whose ears, like his own, seem too long
and heavy to be susceptible of anything
bat the most malicious fslsehoods.
Seeing that the sketch was being b&ssly
perverted By bad men fer party purposes,
the, State Democratic Executive Com
mittes, and the entire newspaper press
of Alabama, have repudiated ali sympa-
thy, as myself do, with its falsely in-
terpreted spirit. I have ever ridi culed
the idea that any one, cognizant of the
circumstances under which the wood-cut
was presented, should have regarded it
in any other light than that Of pleas
antry.
A month previous to this, ia leading
editorial on those vermin of society
carpet-baggers and scsIawags-I used in
the Monitor this language: ait is not
proper nor Christian to appeal to the law
Of force or violence in our war on these
men. This cOurse would be both i'm
proper and fDspoLttic. But there is
peaceful method Of conquest more po-
tent and terrible than that Of bloody vio-
lence. Peace hath her victories, not
less than war; &drVe them out.p
The Monitor, Sir, sm compelled 10
