And first. we will notice the candidates
for the House Of Delegates. The Repub-
lican candidate is known throughout the
county as the editor of the Point Pleasant

enemies, during the darkest hoars Of its
passage through the terrible ordeal into
which secession bad hurled it.

These bullets perhaps, are what has drawn
him over to the ranks of those who shot
them. Ifthere were no other reasons un-
der heaven why Union men should not
vote for him, the fact that he is where he
is ought to be sufficient.

was made Captain, and like a true soldier,
