GILMER AND CALHOUN.

We IlavO received from a friend in
Calhoun au interesting letter, respect
ing the recen. election for delegate in
that delegate district. Tho writer
takes strong grounds in favor Of the
party nominee; and charges that the
boilers, by afliliatiDg with the Repub-
leans" not only defeated Democracy,
but acted regardless of the pledges
made ~ them prior to and after the
primary elections. Ovr correspondent
shows himself abunlanlly able to cope
with any opponent; aud brings forth
such an array of facts as leaves but
little doubt that he has the Lqst side Of
the question, For these reasons, 0s-
peGially, we are sorry that we cannot
do our friend the justice to publish his
lcttcr-Rot that We desire to "choke
Off his arguments, but because of The
extreme length Of his communication
Ten pages Of foOlscOp will make in
type something over two columns so
that our friend will readily pelc.ive,
by looking over our paper, that we
must exclude nearly all else to comply
with his request, We invite cores.

WILL WE HAVE A RAILROAD

This is a question Of the greatest in.

question We feel satisfied the rail
road companies north Of us will find
il to their interest to connect with the

srmc day not distant, induce them to
Construct roads through this State.
The Northern and Southern West Vir-
gnia Railroad company propose to
build road from the Pennsylvania
luc. near Morgautown, to the Big
Sandy A road is being built from
GreGusburg, on the Pennsylvania Cen

often pointed out tho great materia |
wealth of the country to be passed over

THE WoRRELL SISTERS.

Sophie and Jennie Worrell, the fam ous
american Burlesque Actresses and their
talented company, from the Worrell Sister 8
New York Theater, arrived here at noon to-
day from Davenport, where they met with
unparalleled success, considering it being
their first appearance. Misses Sophie and
Jennie are of natipe grot0th, with no foreign
grating, and as such, they deserve the pat.
ronage of our ever liberal community.
The Davenport Gazette OF this date speaks
as follows:
Saturday nsght the Worrell Sisters we're
greeted with even more crowded house
than that with which they we're favored OIL
the night previous. Their sojourn in Dav-
export was complete success. They hap
PLY enterta. ned their sudiences-eyen more
than coming up to the high expectations
raised. The laughable farce of "Mr and
Mrs. Peter White" was indeed made inter
esEing and lsughable, by the iniuItable
manner In which each character Was repre-
scented. The same may be said of d" Black
Eyed Susan, marstime burlesque. The
clog-dRncing of Miss Jennie Worrell, and
the feAts of Mr. De Leon on the Spanish
bsndolln, were especially interesting, and
we're most heartily encored.
Mr.. De Leon, the agent of the troupe, has
leased the Opera house for Fair week, which
commences the 4th Of September next We
predict for the troupe crowded houses and
hearty welcome"
We suggest to our friends the propriety
of al early call for reserved seats, es IN
doubtedIy Rock Island will hold it's owr
against its neighbor. The bill for to-mor
row night will consist of the farce of "Mr
and Mrs. Peter White" and the burlesqu,
of the "Heathen Chinee."
