From Charleston,

ncy General, returned day or two since
from the Capital Of the State, where he
went on the Mountain Boy, along with the
rest oL the State officers, on the 2slh ult
He tells us ofIthe t6spitable reception
and attentions which he and. his fellow
officials received 1t the hands Of tho good
people of Charleston, who, Of course, were
only too delighted to have tlle opportuni-
ty of welcoming tho State Government
with open arms into their midst.
The advent OF the Government has Ind
tic natural effect Of making the people
feel highly pleased with themselves and
their prospects. As result corner lots
and other properly hayC looked up de-
cIdedly.
0fcourse the accommodations provided
orthe officers are not all that could be
desired, nor such as they had here, but
they are getting along with them, such rs
they are, and hope to do better bye and
bye, when things become more settled.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad Is
under way in the vicinity Of Charleston
and some 1900 laborers are at work.
This influx of new comers into the region
of the Capital, together with the arrival Of
the State officers, and also the recent Odd
Fellows Convention, makes pretty lively
market for provisionsS and enables the
farming population to get good prices for
their table products a..ssfS 1E
We notice BY the Repa6ltisas that our
former townsmann, Mr.. HENRY s. WALLER
has arrived on the ground among the rest.
The Republican does not seem to exactly
take kindly. to the. objecto Of his visit, aSwe
should judge1ttOmj jitsrremark that he is
there sticking up prospcctuses of his
Statcpaper." The editor does notseem in
clincd TO give way for Mr.. W. and remarks
that without arrogating to ourselves the
leadership Of the party, we will State that
tho Hdnatoha Republican will pursue tho
even tenor Of its way-it will be in future

Some writer in the Republican presents
quite cheerful picture of things as they
now are, and promise still more to'bc, IN
Charleston, as compared with former
days. He says:
How great Is the changcl Instead OF o
few small houses, limited In capital and
enjoying 4 monopoly, our town is full Of
mercantile establishments Of the most,
modern kind, presenting scene Of lively
interest, that will vic with any place Ofthe
same magnitude In the East The In.
crease in this particular hns been 50 great,
that to-day there Is not to be had in our
town Il house in any way adapted to the
wants Of the merchant, that Is vacant,
They ure being filed. and the demand re.
mains unSupplied. That part Of COM
mercc that goes hand in glove with this,
interest, and all other business that con:
tributes 10 the wealth and greatness Of
any commonly, to-wit: Banking, is not
unrcpresented, there being in successful
operation three institutions Of this
kind under State charter, employ;
ing MI aggregate capital Of $l7T,-
10000 respectively rs follows: Bank
Of the West, $GS,00O; Kanawha
Valley Bank, $65y2 200; Merchants Bank Of
Charleston, $40, 800, as shown by the re.
turns made TO the Collector Of Internal
Revenue. We understand that the indt'
vllual deposit accounts Of these banks arc
very tlattering, and commensurate with
their respective capital We have to re.
grct the severe want Of more abundant
supply Of money capital, as the propoEr
tion, Of capital to labor Is not sufficient to
give that stimulus to general business en-
terprisc that Is Characteristic Of our great
monetary centers But we have many
reasons 70 believe that at an early date the
working capital Of. tour, people will nPe
greatly augmented, when 50 far as We can
see there will be nothlpg to impede the
rapid, complete Development Of onr natur'
al resources.
