The True Grounds Of Conf
6enCe.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that
absolute, undoubting faith in the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as remedy
for indigestion, bilious disorders, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, which notorious
w prevails In all parts of the United States?
This confidence has been growing for twen-
ty years, and it is still extending. II Is not
the result of credulity; it has not been en-
gendered by any human device, but is the
spontaneous and natural consequence OF
experience. What people see daily going
on under their own eyes they cannot ques-
ton. When families in unhealthy districts,
that resort to this wholesome vegetable
tonic as preventive, escape periodical
fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who
neglect that precaution, are PROSTATE by
the disease, how is it possible that the phen-
omenon should be without Its lesson? In
like manner when II Is seen that obstinate
cases of dyspepsia, of liver complaint, OF
consultation, OF nervous weakness, and OF
general debility, yield to the operation OF
tine famous remedy, how can even lncredu-
lity itself withhold its endorsement? Eye
witnesses OF the salutary effects OF the bit
tiers, are to be found in every civilized set
Element on this continent. The thousands
upon thousands who owe their restoration
to health and strength, or their preSerVa-
ton from sickness to It's extraordinary med
icinal properties, are enthusiastic IN 1ts
praise. The multitudes who recommend II
In a neighborly way to their friends and
public their estimate Of its virtues, are al
ways ready to state their reasons for the
faith that Is in them. They have oil either
felt or witnessed its benificent operations.

a fatal accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at North Branch bridge on
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, six
miles east of this city, to Mr.. Daniel
Mcknight, an old and highly respect
able citizen of Cumberland, which re-
resulted in his instantaneous death.
The particulars of the lamentable
affair are as follows: Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Mcknight left this city on the
mail train, to visit his nephew, John A.
Humbird, Esq, living on Patterson's
creek, eight miles below town. In the
afternoon Mr.. Mcknight started home
afoot, preferring to walk, as he was nat
urally fond Of walking After crossing
the North Branch bridge, two miles
from Patterson's creek, he was walking
on the east track, when train
approaching he stepped across to the
west track to get out Of its way,
and Just as he did so the st. Louis
express train, running with great speed,
came upon him unawares. The engine
struck the unfortunate man and
knocked him aside, throwing him ten
feet or more from the track. Persons
Immediately went to his assistance, but
they found him lifeless. He never
moved a muscle after he was struck.
An examination OF the body revealed
the fact that he had been struck upon
the right temple, which, it is supposed,
caused death; his right leg at the ankle
was also broken, and there were other
bruises upon his leg and body.
His body was brought to the city in
few hours afterwards on the way train,
and conveyed to his late residence on
Columbia street.
Mr.. Mcknight resided in this city
for many years, and was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. He was a
brother.in-law to Messrs. John and
Jacob Humbird, Of this city. He leaves
a wife and two daughters. He was
aged IS years and was hale and hearty.

We had a pleasant call yesterday

We had a pleasant call yesterday
from a number Of gentlemen who have
been devoting active attention to the
proposed Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad. They have passed over and
csnvsssed almost the entire route and
state that everywhere along the line the
people Of Ohio are wide awake upon
the subject and are doing very nobly
their part OF the work. A large actual
subscription has already been obtained
on the books OF the Wheeling and
Lake Erie company, and the most flat
tering prospects OF early success are dis
PLAYED. These gentlemen are just as
sure that the Deep Run a nd Hopedale
route is the very best for the interests OF
Wheeling, as are the Harrisville people
or our New Athens friends certain that
theirs are the most advantageous,

PITTSBURGH. WHEELING AND
KENTUCKY.

It seems from the action OF the
Board of Supervisors on yesterday
that the people Of this county
are vet to be allowed to vote upon
proposition to subscribe to the capital
stock of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad. 1t is also probable
that more intelligent vote may be now
had than when the subject was sub
mitted last May, because Mr.. SMITHS
survey will now enable US to determine
more nearly than before the cost OF the
road. The estimate is probably some
what higher than it need be. and the
sum proposed to be subscribed is still
higher than the estimate. In Brooke
county, between Holidays Cove and
Wellsburg, the road bed was estimated to
cost $1,000 per mile, but it has been
let to responsible contractors for $4,000
per mile. 1t is quite possible that the
work in this county may be let at
lower price than is provided for, but it
is perhaps best to authorize such a
subscription, if any, as may be amply
sufficient for the accomplishment OF the
desired end, making all due allowance
for contingencies that cannot be made
the subject OF exact calculation.
1t is understood that the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, Notwithstanding it's lease
OF the Pittsburgh and Cleveland road,
still extends its offer Of assistance, and
it is reported that Mr.. Scorr's interest
in the proposed road is not at all
affected by the present arrangement
with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Company, the lease Of that line having
been in contemplation and we'll nigh
perfected when his original proposition
was made for the construction Of a road
on the West Virginia side OF the river.
1t is said to be his intention also to ex-
tend the same terms that are proposed
for acceptance by Ohio county
to all of the various counties
through which the road may run'
down the Kentucky line. We are
unable to present this morning the
exact conditions Of the agreement Mr..
SCoTr is willing to make, but will err
deavor to give our readers all the infor-
nation available upon this subject dur
ing the discussion that will ensue prior
to the vote. Since the lease Of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh road by the
Pennsylvania company, public interest
in the proposed connection of this city
with the Panhandle road at Holidays
Cove has somewhat abated. 1t will
still, however, be much to our interest
to have a road built on this side of the
river, and If there is any reasonable
prospect of its extension through the
counties below we doubt not that our
people will be ready and willing 10 give
it all the aid in their power to bestow.

President OF the Convention.

Editors OF the Register:
In looking over the list OF members
of the Constitutional Convention, we
find among the many able statesmen
elected to that body, the name Of Judge
Matthew Edmiston, of Lewis county,
who is widely spoken OF as the Presi-
dent of the Convention. Judge E. 8
high order Of talent as a stateman and
as a lawyer, his strict integrity aud
deep devotion to Constitutional liberty,
with his legislative experience, makes
him eminently qualified in every respect
for that important position. The Con-
vention or indeed, might add, the citi-
zens of the State, will be most fortunate
in securing his service in that capacity,
and we hope it will be the pleasure Of
the Convention to thus honor him.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received quite number of.
letters from correspondents in the different
States of the Union, asking us about lands
for sale In East Tennessee, and requesting
from us personal written reply. We
would be glad to give these letters our per-
sonal attention if 1t were possible to do so,
but as it is not we must ask our friends to
be satisfied with the general replies we
give from week to week in our paper. We
are asked often about the price and quality
of lands for sale. BY reference to the adj
vertisements of our real estate agents 1t
will be seen the character of lands they
have to offer. Some object to dealing with
these agents upon the pleathat they charge
exorbitant commissions, &c. We can
only judge from our own personal expert
ence, but so far as this goes We have found
them fair dealing men. Their business is
now everywhere recognized as legitimate,
and just as much business as selling drugs
or groceries. They charge commissions Ct
course on their sales, just as the banker or
auctioneer does. We make these remarks
in justice to them and to the men who en-
ploy them. We can do this impartially,
for we have in no way, directly or indirect
ly, any interest in their business. In coun-
tries where the population changes as it is
now in East Tennessee, lands change
hands through such agencies. These gen.
tlemen have advertised largely over the
country, both by newspapers and land reg
listers, and attracted great attention to our
section. In doing this they have had in
expectation their own interests, but when
men can benefit the public and at the same
time benefit themselves, they are doing
good service.
We can say to our friends at a distance
that we have lands in East Tennessee of
every quality and price, in large tracts and
in small ones, near cities and towns, and
in the coves and valleys of the mountains.
If they want to come here and live, we
think they can find lands to suit them.
We do not know any better way for them
to find out the prices and kinds of land for
sale than by coming here in person. If
they can not do this, they should COM
municate with those who have lands for
sale a tsE

PAYMENT OF LOYAL CLAIMS.

Much has been said on the subject OF
paying loyal men at the South for damages
sustained during the war, and much more
might be said. There are hundreds Of men
in Eastern Tennessee, whose property was
taken and used or destroyed blythe Fede-
raj as well as the Confederate armies at a
time when it could least be spared. Had
it not been for the noble manner in which
our more favored neighbors of the North
ern and Eastern States came to our relief,
suffering would have been general and
wide spread. In addition to the bloody
scenes in our midst, we were compelled
to witness the burning of many comforta-
bic homes. Our granaries and barns
were emptied of their stores to sustain
the cause we loved, and we were left to
look for the necessaries of life wherever
they could be had.
Many men, who were as true TO the Gov
eminent as the needle to the pole, lost
their earnings for years, and have never
yet received compensation. The law, as it
now stands, is inadequate to meet the ex-
igency. We have the fullest confidence
that every dollar which is justly due, will,
if correctly presented, be ultimately paid;
but it really seems as If some more speedy
way could be provided, and ought to be
provided. We are not disposed to COM
plain and find fault with the Government,
but in justice to hundreds of good and
true men, who have waited patiently for
years, for what is justly due, we feel war
ranted in calling attention To the subject.

THE action of Congrers yesterday on
bill for loyal claims should not be misun-
derstood. The vote taken was not on the
merits of the bill, but simply on the mo-
tio1 to suspend the rules so as to bring the
bill before the House for vote upon the
merits. This motion to suspend required
q two-thirds vote.
