For the CHRONICLE. i,.s. o..
We can see no policy, either good bad
or Indifferent, in agitating the above sub
ject merely for. amusement, and in wri-
ting it up we do not mean fun. The ne
cessity of Railway opening up, by
far, the richest section in Eastern Ohio
is something more than a matter ofjest
to the farmer whois wasting his hard
earned profits upon the old, slow means
of transportation. 1t is not matter of
Jest to the inhabitants of these isolated
villages that might be thriving towns if
they could only receive the forward inn
pulse of out side progress. Contact with
ready markets and growing towns and
cities is the only thing that can AID
will deyelope them. Egypt has been
long enough without Nile to transport
her Corn to the great sea of commerce.
A few sacks full may occasionally be
carried away upon the backs Of asses
but he must be donkey indeed not TO
see that Railway and it alone can re.
move from Wheeling Valley the disad-
vantages of isolation. A writer in the
CHRONICLE signing himself Jasper"
certainly has not been beyond the Ma
tional Road lately. He speaks of Flush.
ing being surfeited by loading two cars
yearly. Last year one product alone
shipped from that place would have
loaded fifty cars at least. Wool is, by
no means, the chief product of Flushing
township. Uniontown, Kennon, Free
port can and would do equally well.
Give them Road aud they will at once
become the depots of produce from
farms within ten miles of the route.
The wool purchases of St. Clairsville
during last year amounted to more than
car loads. With an easy
means of transportation the purchase OF
all kinds of produce would be carried OF,
and it might be possible as "Jasper"

It behooves people sensible of their de
pendence on the Almighty to publicly
and collectively acknowledge theil
gratitude for His favors and mercies, aud
humbly beseech for their continuance;
aud whereas. the people of the United
States. during the year now about t.
end, have special causes to be thankful
for general prosperity, an abundant
harvest, exemption from pestilence, for
eign war and civil strife.
Now, therefore, be it known that 1

to ali citizens to meet in their respective
places of worship on Thursday, the 24tl
day of November next, there to give
thanks for the county of God during
the year about to close, and to suppl

WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
The status of affairs in New York,
and the preparations of the Government
to sustain its officers in the enforcement
of the laws, is said to have been the
subject of some consideration in Cabinet
to day. Among other measures which
the President has resolved upon. is that
the census of New York shall be re-
taken in respect to the enumeration of
inhabitants according to the new boun-
daries of the districts, as recently es-
tablished by Mayor Hall. This order
was sent to the Secretary of Interior
to day. Halls action having been
taken for the purpose of destroying the
relations of the census to the vote, Il e
Mayor and his confreres will now find
their game checkmated by this new ac-
tion of the Government. This is also
done in order that if the election of No
vember should become the subject of
controversy either in Congress or out
of it, the return of the census may bear
some relation to the returns of the elec
tiop. 1t will also afford Mayor Hall a
Ichahce to prove his boasts that the cen
sus is not correct. 1t was, perhaps, his
last proclamation, aud its criminal de
clarations, which induced in part the
resolve to have second enumeration.
The Government will leave no effort
untried to make this matter clear as
daylight. and the result will be that
Mayor Hall and his adherents of the
Ring will be convicted of all that has
e:I charged against them. 1t may be
as well to state that the United States
officers in New York are. not paying at
tention exclusively to the doings of the
poor creatures ami tools whom Tam
many hires to do its criminal work.
This work would not he done if it we're
not incited and paid for by men high
in position, who deem themselves secure
from its Consequences. They may not
find themselves quite so secure on this
occasion. The law is broad enough to
cover precisely the work which Tam
many's leaders have heeD doing for the
past five years; and there is grit enough
am ong the officers take hold of the
leaders if they get caught. The Gov
ernment regards it as work only half
done when the man who registers and
votes fraudulently is arrested and con-
victed, while the leader who incites
resistance to United States laws in pub
lie speeches. and advises or connives at
double voting or false counting in pri-
vate conference, goes UNPUBLISHED. So
the people of New York need not be as
tonished if the MarshaFs writs go for
higher game than mere ward politi-
clans. r84 esd.

The election in West Virginia which
came off on last Thursday, did not re-
suit very favorabIy to the Republican
cause. In Ohio County the Republican
Sheriff and Clerk of the Court were
elected. The Democrats have carried
at least two out of the three Congress
men and all the State officers.
They claim a majority of 26,oO OF
State ticket. We regret that there
should be any drifting backward ol
standing still of the progress which the
State has been making the last ter
years, in the principles of liberty anG
liberal government.

Mr.. Hostetter, of Louisville, has beer
sued for $50, 900, fts breach of promise
by Thereas Gehlhaus, maiden who il
said to be "of sweet SIXTEEN" and until
lately a domestic.
Gold bearing quartz has been discov-
cred at Nelson's Ledge near CARROTS
vile, in this State, ard a number Ol
Youngstown capitalists have leased 250f
acres of the surrounding country, and
sent a specimen of the rock to the New
York assay Office, the assay of which
shows yield per ton which can be
made profitable in this country.
In the Third ward f indianapolis, on
Tuesday, an old negro, over ninetythree
years OF age, was brought to the polls,
and, although he was SO weak that two
men were obliged TO support him, yet
when he deposited the ticket the joy of
the occasion lent the old man strength
10 leap into the air and thank God that
he had cast his first vote.
James Thompson, Esq, of Daven-
port, Iowa, is something of farmer.
He owns twentynine $50 acre farms, all
of which are situated in two counties.
He had $500 acres in crops this year
l.500 acres in wheat the same in barley,
and 500 acres in corn. His income from
these farms is estimated at 81, 100.
An Off ;er of the Revenue Department
fresh from an inspection of the cotton
regions oftne South, estimates the grow
ing crop at not less than 8, 500. 200 tales;
a large crop than has been produced
since 1860. He also conveys the cneer-
ing intelligence that TIE quality will
be superior to any crop ever raised i'll
the country.
Gen. Grant, if candidate 1872, will,
judging from the manner he has thus
far administered the Government, be
hard to beat. The New York Herald is
inclined to that opinion together with
1.-THE rest of mankind 1t says: Against
General Grant in 1872 the prospect of \
Democratic victory is very slim. In
the chapter of accidents the chances
may be improved; but from all the facts
and signs before us Grant is good for
an Jther campaign against any Demo-
cratic competitor.
THE EVERLASTING ENGLISH MISSION.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 90.
Senator Morton says it is not true
that he has recommended anybody for
the English mission, and ne has no
to make; that he did
not come here to consult the President,
at the latters request, in regard either to
the Cabinet or the mission. Report that
the English mission has been offered to
half dozen gentlemen since it was de-
cided to request Mr.. Motley to resign, is
erroneous. Frelinghuys n was first ap
pointed, and when he declined Senator
Morton was offered the position. Up to
this time no other selection has been
made.

able quietness for some time. Feeling
that there is little benefit TO be derived
from mere talk upon this subject, thost

on an equality with her sister towns in

mean this. The quiet Organization Of

way of working. A Committee for the
purpose of consulting with interested
companies of other Roads has been Sc
lected and will, We hope, report favors-

taking the iniatitory step in this work

What response will the farmers of Whee-
ling valley, the citizens of Uniontown,
Flushing and other villages along the
rout, make to this renewal of the Rail-
way question? Asa correspondent in this
issue says, the Road will be built before
long. If not by you and through your
rich lands, then, without your aid, leav-

The War news of this week, thoug

The War news of this week, though
very important, may be summed up in
q few words. In another column we
give an account of the surrender of Metz
and over 10000 French troops. The only
regularly organized army now in France
is in the hands of the enemy. $50, 900
German soldiers, free from their work OF
besieging Metz have taken up their
march toward Paris, and will assist in
the closing scene of the French Repub-
lie. On the other hand the French
ministry have issued circular which
indicates desperation in the defense OF
the city and the liberties of France
Bazaine is charged with treachery and
of ofadherence to Napoleon. Under pres
ent circumstances it seems only mad
ness for Paris to resist.

The CROPs.-The area at pres
ent in corn in Marshall county is
less than has been planted during
any previous season since the war.
While the area is less, the yield
will not average one-half what 1t
was during any one of the pre-
ceding years. More ground we
believe is in cotton, but we doubt
if there will be harvested a quar-
ter of crop. We have Conversed
with planters from every neigh.
borhood of the county, and the
universal opinion is that poorer
crops will be made than our peo-
pie have ever yet known. II the
war In Europe continues, the prices
Of breadstufs will be greatly in
creased, and the price Of cotton
will fall. When We reflect that We
will have to purchase breadstuffs
at exorbitant rates, and can get
no market for our cotton, the sui.

be shown in al ita force. Aud
