We notice that supplies and smaH
crews are being sent into the woods to
cut roads and prepare for the winter
work. We predict very large
amount or logging done this winter,
for the reason that there has been SO
much timber damaged by wind and
fire the present Summer, that will be
worthless unless logged soon.

Kangaroo Leather.

A consignment Of 1000 kangaroo
skins was received in San Francisco,
several months since, from Australia,
and purchased by parties who propose
to convert them into leather. The
skins are now being tanned at a
tannery located on the beach opposite
Yerba Buena Island, on the northern
outskirts of Oakland. The skin Of the
kangaroo is quite thin, but exceedingly
tough, and when tanned into leather is
very pliable and soft, wearing long
time without cracking, and tdrning
water better than cali skin. Tanned
alligator skins from Mexico and
Central America are common article
in the San Francisco market, and are
used to q considerable extent in manu-.
featuring boots whose strength and
capacity to resist water are more
desired than fancy fit or elegance Of
appearance, but kangaroo is emphat-
ically a new sensation in the leather
line. 'T

The Two virginias. E

The Two virginias. ~ S
I 1t is painful to write this heading. It
is more painful to look at the map. We
would rather have died than have seen
our venerable old mother partitioned in
this horrible manner. We would freely
give up our life to have restored to her
her former boundaries. Once che stood
upon the map the stateliest and most
graceful OF the family Of States. and
now what is she 10 form2 Horrible to
look at. She has not single line Of
grace or symmetry. All gone! She is
left but a misshapen mass-a monu'
ment of wrong and outrage. And her
deep affliction is made the keener by the
reflection that her own children were
the instruments of her injuries '
This is the keenest of all the wrongs
Of this age of outrage and ruthlessness.
But when Might sustains wrong it is
the fate OF Right to submit. And we
are forced to set about the business Of
settlement Of the household with that
sort of deep and iucousolable sorrow
that ensues when the adored mother OF
the family has departed.
We observe that the commissioners Of
West Virginia upon the public debt
have held meeting upon the subject
entrusted to them. They recently visi-
ted this city. and had free access to
books and papers in the First Auditors
office. This we suppose was with the
view Of gathering up information for
their report to their State Government.
What their report is We have not been
informed, but from illusions to it in a
West Virginia paper, we infer general
": lst. That it deals largely in very
kind expressions towards what is now
called Virginia, with. besides, some
credtable and pious illusions to her
better days, when she was mistress ola
wider domain and welded greater in
fluence over the affairs of the nation.
ID. That it investigates in very bust
ness like manner the debt question, and
makes the share of the money obliga-
ton of the new State Of West Virginia
in the debt OF Virginia contracted before
the war in an inverse ratio to the large
amount of sentimental regard and
homage they acknowledge to be due to
her. We rather suspect that the
amount they confess to be due in money
will be hardly worth sending after.
Our late fellow citizens in that part
OF the Union have not worked har-
moniously with us in our efforts to get
at our relative proportions ofthe public
debt of the State. We proposed COM
missioners on behalf of each State to
consider the matter and report an ulti-
matum. They failed to appoint their
commissioners, and ours, finding none
to meet them, returned home. Then
we proposed arbitration, and they APP
pointed commissioners. They have not
agreed to our proposition for arbitra-
ton :. but their commissioners recently
visited us, as our readers know and
now, as we stated above, they have re-
ported their views Of the whole matter.
We may be well assured that they are
in no wise hard upon West Virginia.

4 WASHINGTON correspondent in
speaking about Penny Postal Cards le-
lates that when this snlject was before
Congress at the last session, the bill
adopting the system, in accordance with
the recommendation OF the Postmaster
General, was defeated on account Of the
many objections which existed to the
system as to publicity, about which
some troublesome cases have arisen in
England. General GARFIELD was the
principal opponent last session, and
really defeated the proposition with
the clearness of his objections. Since
then inventors have come forward and
have obviated the objections, SO far as
publicity is concerned, by several inge-
NOUS methods OF scaling, so that the
previous simplicity is restrained, as well
as the secrecy of the contents assured.
General GARFIELD and many others are
converts to the system now, and it Is
not at all improbable that the bill now
before the House will pass. Mr.. Ores
WELL is now strongly in its favor, and
is throwing his whole personal influence
in its behalf

road.

The Guernsey, Ohio Tines Of last
week gives the following facts iu regard
to the above enterprise:
"On Monday last the trustees into
whose custody had been placed the
stock subscriptions Of the people OF this
county to the Marietta and Pittsburgh
railroad, met General Warner, agent
and attorney of said road at this place,
and delivered to him the subscriptions
made to said company, except part Of
the subscriptions OF Wheeling town
ship, which are held by Messrs.
George j. Mitchell, Henry Nc
CARNEY and George j. Phillips. here
after to be banded over, the company
having located their road, as per their
agreement, through this county by way
OF Point Pleasant, Cambridge and Lib
erty, and to build the same in
accordance with he terms of the
subscription. The agreement en-
tered into by the company slip
ulates that an amount be expended
in each township through which
the road passes, equal, at least,
to the amount paid by such townships,
except Cambridge, where, after prepar-
ing the road bed, at least one-half of
the excess OF its subscription rs to be
applied north Of the Central Ohio rail-
road. The company do not agree, how
ever, to commence work until the bal
ance OF the subscriptions of Wheeling
township are delivered over, or the
whole amount originally agreed upon
| ($l50,000) otherwise made up, and the
few remaining rights OF way released.
AS soon as this is done the company
will commence work at the Central
Ohio roilroad, working both north and
south, and push as rapidly as it will be
possible to do. No installments of stock
will be called for until the work is COM
menced, and then only as fast as the
work requires. There is but little in
the way of the early commencement
and completion OF this road, and we
hope that that little will soon be re-
moved, and the work be energetically
and vigorously pushed. We can not
afford to longer delay this important
enterprise, and all who have not. yet
released the rights of way should do so
at once, and the subscriptions Of stock
should be handed over to the company,
after which the work will at once he
commenced.

RAILROAD MEETING IN THE
FIRST WARD.

The meeting in the First ward last
night in favor of the subscription to the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Kentucky
railroad was fairly attended, notwlth-
standing the unpleasant weather, and
will probably be productive OF good
results in bringing out the vote next
Wednesday. Mr.. II. w. PHILLIPS was
made Chairman of the meeting, and
brief speeches in favor Of the project
were made by Mr.. SWEENEY, Mr.. HUE
card, and others. A committee Of three
active and influential citizens OF the
ward was appointed to make the neces-
sary arrangements for bringing voters
to the polls next Wednesday and for
making q thorough canvass The spirit
displayed at the meeting seemed to
warrant the expectation that Wash
ington township will do her whole duty
in relation TO the matter on the Sd oil
January.
There is really nothing new to adj
vance in favor OF the road and there is
scarcely room for difference o! opin'
ion in relation to it. The cost is SO
little in comparison with the benefits to
be obtained that there should be no
hesitation in regard to giving the sub
scription favorable vote. In thinking
OF a subscription OF $225 600 to the
capital stock OF q railroad, people are
sometimes disposed to think that the
whole amount will have to be imme'
diately paid by taxation. Calculations
are made at to the increase OF taxes to
be paid by each individual and this is
compared with the prospective advan'
tsge to be derived from the road. But
they fail to remember that the bonds to
he issued for the amount of the sub
scription will not mature and fall due
until the expiration of twenty years
from date. During this time all that
the county can be required to pay is
simply the interest upon the sum sub
scribed, and during all this time the
road will be in use, its value improv'
ing and its stock probably increasing
in value, so that there is at least q
reasonable chance that by the time the
bonds have to be paid the value Of the
stock will nearly, if not quite, equal the
amount OF the debt. But even if the
stock should not be worth its face al
that time, the increase in the value oil
other property, and the addition of the
property of the, road itself to the tax
list, will prevent any material increase
10 the taxes to be paid by the present
holders of property. Nearly all that
the county is asked to do in regard to
this and other railroad subscriptions
now pending, is simply that the county
lend its credit in return for the advan-
tages sought. Its not very likely that
the taxes Of any individual will be
materially increased, or that the bur
dens of the people will be made heavier
to any appreciable extent Let us
have the railroad.
