From GRERNBRIER COUNTY,

MOUNTAIN VIEW, GREENBRIER,
Co. w. VA, Feb. 10th, 1870. }
Editors of the Register:
IIeturned from the Kanawha Valley
few days ago, after an absence OF two
months, and was pleased to find the
people of the county in the best OF
spirits at the prospect of the early COM
pletion OF the C. 81 o. r. X. A number
of hands are now at work on the Big
Bend Tunnel on the Greenbrier, river in
Monroe county, and in few weeks, l
presume, the heavy work on the entire
line will be under contract. We of this
part of the State have for some time,
looked to the construction of this road
as the only means of our pecuniary
salvation, and now that the work is al
ready commenced, we feel disposed to
rejoice at the cheering prospects of
escape from ruin and bankruptcy. We
have the finest timber, and an abund-
ance Of Coal of the best quality. Min
eral ores of almost every kind, in our
mountains, that have been heretofore
altogether Unavailable, when this great
work shall have been completed, will
prove an almost unfailing source of
wealth. We have thousands of acres OF
rich lands in their native forest, that
could now be purchased at low rates,
and we hope ere long to see stream OF
immigration in this direction, that Will
occupy our vacant lands. The Legisla-
ture should adopt liberal policy in re-
ference. to the subject of immigration
We have learned that some Of the
test oaths have been abolished, and we
hope that the good work may go on
until not one vestige of there unre-
publican laws shall disgrace our statute
books.
While on the Kanawha Valley we
picked up an item in the history Of old
Scratch-alids old Joe CdldIrell, of this
county, which has never been made
public, so far as we know, and for the
benefit of his Radical friends, we will
record it. 1t is this. In the year 1861,
about the time that General Wise re.
treated from the Kauawha Valley, the
aforesaid old Scratch, purchased of
Colonel I. of Kanawha five negro men,
and started with them to Dixie. He
staid at Mrs. rs the first night after
leaving Charleston. Ono of the negroes
becoming refractory and manifcsting aI
disposition to return, he obtained rope,
fastened him securely with it, and made
him sleep in his room. On being asked
why he had purchased the negroes, he
declared il was for a aspeculation. That
be expected to realize large profit, as
be had bought them at n reduced price.
These facts, Il learned from an unquestiou-
able source. What will his negro low.
ing and negro supporting friends think
Of this, hollow hearted hypocrite, when
they read thisi What will his African
friends say' We want them all TO know
it. OCCASIONAL,
