The North w est.

The impression which many people
have of the great prosperity Of this sec
ton of the country will be somewhat
damaged by look at the actual state
of affairs. The farmers are gloomy,
and the outlook is even more gloomy
than it has ever been since 1860. Wheat
i. going down, from two dollars to
seventy cents in the interior. There is
"too much wheat, too little corn, too
many sheep, low price for wool, and
too many debts" all these acting TO dis
courage the people. The condition of
the Northwest is far worse than the
South, where the agricultural interest
is daily becoming stronger and richer.
The secret of this deplorable state OF
things in the West is the effect OF the
enormous taxes, protective tariffs and
the general unsettled and shaky con-
dition of the financial affairs of the
country. The people will wake up after
awhile to a sense of the necessity OF a
change in the administration Of the
country's business. Until this is done
they may look for still greater depress-
ion, not Only in the agricultural, but IN
the manufacturing interests of the
North and West. 1t is a singular AND
significant fact that the Southern credit
is better today in New York than the
Western, and this in spite of all of the
disorganizstion of labor, reconstruction
and poverty, So says the New York
Post, and the Tribune, which is as RadI'
cal as gall, tells US that "the Southern
trade this fall has been the salvation OF
I New York." and is, strange TO say, will
ing to accept its salvation from red
handed traitors, staobers Of the UnioE
and sappers of the foundations OF The
Republic" Well, well, well it's some
thing to save New York, any way.

Extraordinary Suicide.

We have made brief mention of the
suicide of a youth named IL. Stanley
Clark, at Cannelton, because his mother
would not give him money with which
to attend the Owensboro Fair. The
Canuelton Reporter gives the following
account of the sad affair:
"He, in company with his widowed
mother and the children, were, as was
their wont, pleasantly conversing in the
family sitting room, when the subject
of the recent 'Owensboro Fair came up
incidentally. Not the slightest appar-
ent Importance was give the matter; it
was talked of like any other of the
thousand and one little topics which we
all talk of daily around our tiresides,
when Stanley remarked: Mother, |
wish you would let me have q little
money; believe III go to that fair To
this his mother replied: Stanley, l do
wish you wouldn't .sk me for money to
90 there. wish you would not go.
You are only eighteen years old, and |
do not think it wise or safe for you to
be keeping so much company. | want
you to stay at home with us, and you
know l want to make home as pleasant
for you and all of us as can. AS your
mother, dread the idea ofyour getting
into bad company or temptation To
this be rather smilingly answered:
you will let me have it, mother, l
know or words to that effect, while be
turned into his private room; where, be-
fore we can tell it, the family were
schocked by the discharge of q pistol,
and rushing in, they found him on the
floor, lying on his back, stark, pulse
less and CORY; the red current ofh life
still streaming from the fatal orifce."

Rather Romantic.

Avery handsome and well dressed lady
made her appearance in Newark, n. j.,
few days ago and sought the aid of an
overseer of the poor in discovering her
identity. 1t seems that twenty years
ago, when she was little more than
four years old, she was placed in charge
Of the then Foor master. By him she
was indsntured to respectable family
until she should be twenty.one years OF
age. Her benefactors regularly adopted
her, and she has always passed at their
child. Recently circumstances trans.
pired making it absolutely necessary
that her exact position should be de,
clared. Hence her desire to find out heI
real name, which has been forgotten by
the family with whom she has been re-
siding. The NEST romantic phase of the
case is that though the man applied tC
succeeded in finding out who she really
was. he determinedly refused TO divulgs
the names of her parents.

Won't Let US Crow.

The Mtelligencer denies our right to
rejoice over the election of ''let up" Re-
publicaus and the defeat of proscrip'
tives. 1t assigns as reason that our
party here "cs-operated with the Bitter
Enders' for the slaughter of liberal Re
publicans." Our cotemporary has con-
fused matters. We rejoice over the
election of Republicans whose liberallty
means something, as in half dozen
"let up" cases throughout the State
We opposed the election and took pleas
ure in the defeat of so-called ''let up"
Republicans in Ohio county because
their platform meant nothing. Take 1t
at its best, it would not have FASTENED
the removal of the more obnoxious dis
abilities one hour. On the contrary,
their election would have delayed it.
In brief, as Messrs. CAMPBELL and
HUBBARD contemplated only the safe
ty and perpetuity of the Republican
party" we are glad they were beaten.
As WEIGH, LAMoN, TETER and men of
that stamp contemplate the safety and
perpetuity" of liberty and fair Govern
ment, we are glad they were elected
We think the distinction is plain,
The Parkersburg Times shows much
clearer appreciation of the situation
than the Intelligencer. Last Saturday
that paper said:
When the liberal policy was intro
duced into our Republican County Con-
vention the proscriptionists cried out
"All right, but the time has not come,
the people are not prepared for it"
Well, the people have spoken, and faI
from too early, the liberal movement
turns out to be just leetle too late,
The people go in for it-only more so
aud with a vengeance.
Another paragraph from the sans
paper is as follows:
The tide of the liberal movement can
not and should not be checked; even
our colored citizens are averse to voting
as long as any ofour white citizens are
deprived of that right. Then why post,
pone action when justice to ourselves as
q party, aud true policy, impel us to
adopt that course at oncef Can we
shut our eyes to the fac. that a good
many Republicans rather voted the
Democratic ticket than cast their votes
for Republicans who are tsrdy in con-
demning proscriptioni This caused
the result on last Thursday, and it is 8
fair warning for the future. If We
choose to heed it, we might recover ouI
strength; if not, our party will succumt
at every election.
The first sentence of the above sug
gests the explanation of the overwhelm
ing Republican defeat in this county
The Republican candidates were regard
ed as trying to "check the tide OF th'
liberal movement" Had Messrs. HUB
BARD aud CAMPBELL taken an advanced
position instead of backward step, w
are not prepared to deny that one o
them at least Neutrality-suspicious. elected
The hearty support extended by th'
Democrats to GATHER, in the Woo
county Senatorial, District, illustrate
this point. The "tardiness" of the Re
publicans here insured their defeat.

A New TIVE Huudred and Fifty Bar
rel Well on fithole Creek.
From the Titusville Herald, 27th. !

Yesterday not little excitement was
created at Shamburg and on the creek
by the announcement that a new two
hundred and fifty barrel we'll had been
struck on the Independent tract, West
Pithole creek, between Shamburg and
the National wells. The well is located
on the Trobly tract, of the tract above
mentioned, is nine hundred feet deep
and in the sixth sand rock, of which
there are twenty feet. Pumping was
commenced on Monday night, and the
well at once began to yield green oil.
The yield during yesterday morning
and Monday night was, by tank meas
urement, at the rate of fully 200 barrels
per day.
Yesterday afternoon the yield under
went an increase, and last evening it
was measured by the A. T. Compsny's
gauger, and found to be fully at the rate
of $50 barrels per day. The working
interest is owned by Messrs. Winsor
Bros. g. Welch. The well is, by seventy
barrels, the largest producing well in
the State.
The tract on which the we'll is situated
was formerly owned by the Independent
Oil Company, hence the name "Inde-
pendent tract" This tract has not been
developed longer than year, and has
been divided into smaller middle tracts.
The wells first sunk on it were drilled
into the fifth or black oil producing
sand rock, and all that were properly
tested produced black oil in paying
quantities, and some of them produced
as much as seventy-five barrels daily.

From 17arsh County.

ANNADALE, October -, 1867.
Editors of the Register:
| congratulate you aud my other
friends ou the result Of the election in
this county. 1t will teach tho Radicals
that they must be more liberal if they
want to maintain the supremacy of the
party. They have had their own way
for a long time aud taxed US to their
hearts content. They now know that
it will not do for them to say that white
men shall not vote until the negroes are
permitted to vote. A large majority OF
the people of this county think that our
Government was created for white men,
Mr.. Jeffersou's criterion as to what
ou ght to be the qualifications of an office
holder, ought to hold good as to the quail
ifications of a voter. "ls be honest, is
he capable, and attached to our Repub.
lican institutions" Many of the ne
groes are honest, no doubt, but 1t Is
we'll enough to watch some of them,
Certainly they are not capable and
they know but little about our Repub-
lican institutions.
The members of the Legislature last
winter from this county most shame
fully misrepresented what they knew
to be the wishes of their constituents,
when they voted for the Fifteenth
Amendment. Only one of them was a
candidate for reelection, and he is per-
mitted TO remain at home. Z.
