her manufactures, her merchandising,
her business and population for all time
to come. No existing or proposed road
traverses superior section Of country,
nor one that opens up such desirable
section for our trade. In connection
with this road, the Valley railway, now
progressing from Cleveland to Zoar or
Bowerstown, is matter OF great i'm.
portance to Wheeling. From either OF
the last named points to Wheeling the
two roads could be operated as one, and
without the former road the latter may
be drawn from Wheeling cost or west:
With these roads We will have opened
to US the city of Canton, with her 9ooo
population, and the city of Akron,
with her Ii 900, and the rich Valley OF
the Cuyahoga besides. We will be
some twenty miles nearer Cleveland
than by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
road, and some fifty miles nearer than
by the proposed Wheeling Creek and
Athens road. We will be sixty miles
nearer Sandusky and fifty-fve miles
nearer Toledo than by any other exist
Ing or proposed road. 1t is susceptible
OF mathematical demonstration that
this road can hardly fail to be very
profitable investment. In direction and
territory it presents advantages superior
to the Cleveland and Pittsburgh. rail-
road whose stock watered up to s II. So,

is equivalent to l2 or IA per cent on the

wurEIING AND LAKE ERIE.1

Weinyite attention to the article puo-
lisbed elsewhere in this mornings paper
in relation to the proposed Wheeling and
Lske Erie railroad. 1t will be seen
hat the affairs Of that road are really
in a more tangible shape than has been
generally understood by our clllzens'
and that there is a very reasonable
prospect of its early and complete sue
cess. The President and Board OF
Directors of the company have conduct
ed their operations so quietly during
the past few months that some OF our
citizens have been disposed to think the
scheme abandoned, or at least so vague
and visionary as not to merit much
serious thought, still less an actual SUBJ
scription of stock. The facts appear to
be, however, that the road IS we'll nigh
an assured success, and we have no
doubt that many will be both surprised
and graufied to learn that contracts
with responsible parties for the build
ing of the road will be made within ten
days from this time.
As our readers are already aware
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road pro-
noses to make its Eastern terminus In
this city. Its route leaves the ONO
river at Deep Run, four miles above
Martinsville, and proceeds direct to
lake Erie, at Sandusky, in as nearly q
straight line as the nature OF the coun
try traversed and the demands OF thf
local trade will admit. It's construc
ton will be of immense advantage t(
our city, and the enterprise deserves
cordial encouragement and suestaDtia
aid. Our correspondent furnishes a goo'
deal OF information in relation to TIT
project, and puts the case Of tn
Wheeling and Lake Erie road yer!
forcibly. We ask for the article
careful perusal.

THE CUMBERLAND ROAD.

A petition has been presented IN the
LEGISLATURE asking that the Board OF
Public Works be authorized to make a
change in the location Of the western
norton OF the Cumberland road in this
county. The construction OF so many
lines of railroad between the East and
the West has long ago deprived the
turnpike Of its character and utility as
a national highway, and reduced 1t
to simply locarroad of benefit almost
solely to the people OF the country
through which it passes SO that II
would probably be well to put its man
arement and control in the hands OF the
county authorities, as has been done IN
Ohio. But if this cannot be done or is
deemed inexpedient, the Legislature
rw5 ef.ts shft ta qot att aszizs a
either of which would be better than
the present one over the hill. A short
and comparatively inexpensive tunnel
mightte made that would materially
shorten the road and reduce its grade,
or an almost level road might be built
along the eastern base of the hilli fol-
lowing the valley Of the creek, to an IN
tersection with either Centre or John
street. Still another plan is to shorten
the road by carrying it across the
northern end of the Peninsula and, by
means of tunnel. saving nearly a
mile in the distance between the city
and the eastern and northern portions
of the county. We believe that either
of these improvements can be effected
without asking for any Appropriation
from the State treasury for that
purpose; the people OF the city and
county being generally willing to make
the change at their own expense. All
that is needed is the requisite author
iiv. As we cannot conveniently take
the hill away just now, let US either
dig through it or go around it, and thus
stop the heavy tax upon human pa
thence and horsefesh that is exacted
on the present route OF the turnpike.
If the horses in Ohio county were ad'
United to the right OF petition, they
would doubtless send TO the Legislature
a plea for change in the location OF
the road, to which the members conId
not answer nay.

lieye, attributable to the efforts OF Mr.
BALDWIN, an agent Of the Department
who, for some reason best known to
himself, makes the mails discriminate
thus in favor of Cincinnati, and who
uses his best exertions to prevent any
reform.
Captain RAwLING has made several
efforts to have the evil remedled
by asking authority to sena
the way mail on the train that
leaves here at seven o'clock IN the
morning, but thus far without success
A number of the postmasters along the
line OF the Central Ohio railroad have
united with him in petitioning for a
change in the arrangement, but it has
not yet been made. We believe that
Mr.. BANGS, the Superintendent OF the
railway postal system, sent man here
to look into the affair, and some hopes
of redress are again entertained. 1t
seems to US, however, so plain case Of
postal injustice and unnecessary an
noyance to the people Of this con-.
munity; and one for which the remedy
is so apparent and so easily applied,
that we wonder it has not been rectihed
long ago, without waiting for the report
of a special agent in the matter Let
the train that leaves here at sever

The Fairmont LiJeralist has the fol-
loving to say about the effort to create
an extra Assistant Clerkship in the
State Senate for the especial use and
benefit of Mr.. Ed. Moore. After quoting
from YoRlcK's letter to the REGISTER
the LiJeralist says:
Socially, Mr.. Moore is clever and
communicable. Politically, he is well
written up in the above extract from
"Yor:ck's' letter. II his modeSty and
GOOD sense do not forbid it, we cannot
COMPLAIN nor make fuss because he
seeks office in Democratic Senate with
which he has no aflinitIes. But the
privilege Of thanking Mr.. Baker, in the
name OF all the Democrats In Marion
county, except Senator Ice, for his
timely motions to postpone and lay
UPON the table is peculiarly our own,
and we enjoy it. To the Democracy Of
the Panhandle district, Marion county
is under heavy obligations for services
rendered bv the answering Senator
from Wheeling. Senators Ice and
Morgan are not only chargeable with
omission of duty, but with actual mis-
feasance. They have shown an utter
disregard for the wishes Of thirty-fvc
hundred Democratic voters who elected
them to the positions they hold. We
suggest to those gentlemen that, as
Governor Stevenson has announced his
nurpose of remaining at the Capital
during the winter, it might be well to
find a soft place for him: The resoln
ton to appoint him should be offered III
the absence OF Mr.. Baker.

eovERNoR IsHAm q. HARRIs.

We publish this morning an article
from the Paris TENNESSEE Sentinel, re-
commencing Ex-Governor I. G. Harris
as a candidate for Congress for the State
at large. 1t is useless for us 70 speak of
Governor Harris. He is well and favor
ably known by the people of Tennessee.
He has filed an honorable place in the
councils of the State, and in t~roublous
times his energies were devoted unspar-
ingly, and with such success as the IN
exampled difficulties of theperiod would
permit, to providing for the public
welfare. He left the gubernatoriaI
chair, as he had assumed it, without a
blemish upon his fair fame. We do not
know that Governor Harris desires the
position TO which he has been recon-
mended by the Paris Sentinel. But
even if he did, we understand there is
an insuperable obstacle IN the way.
1t is known that Governor Harris and
General Frank Cheatham are inseper-
able friends, and that no circumstances
could possible make them competitors
for the same Office. General Cheatham
having announced himself a candi-
date for Congress for the State
at large, it is said Governor
Harris cannot be induced to enter
the field. Should he, however, deter

GENERAL FRANK CHEATHAM.

From the Brownsville Bee.l
Tennessee is entitled to a Congress
man from the State at large, and the
manyf friends of General Frank Cheat
ham in all portions of the State are pro-
posing to support him for the position.
In all of her fair borders the "Volun-
teer State" has not a truer, a more noble
son. Since the days of his boyhood her
people have never borne a peril that
1'old Frank" did not share with them.
Her battle-fag has never kissed the
breeze that his unsullied sword did not
fash cleaning defiance from beneath
its honored folds. He is a true man
with the soul of a hero and the pure,
warm heart of a woman. Should Cen
eral Cheatham declare himself q candi-
date for Congress we do not know how
Middle and East Tennessee viii rally to
his flag, but we do know that his thou
sands of West Tennessee friends and adj
mirers-his old comrades and compan-
come all together and vote
and work for him with a cordiality and
enthusiasm thatwill tell the tale of their
confidence, devotion and high appreeia-
ton of his manly merits.

EDITORS APPEAL-Again l have to
thank you for your many kindnesses to
me personally, and would also express
the gratitude of the entire cotton-plant-
ing interest for the many c~ommendable
and commendatory editorials in behalf
of the "PlantatiOn Compress" When
you say its use will save the cotton
planters of the South from three to five
million dollars per annum, you are be-
low the amount-it will save nearer ten
million. You are right in the assertion
that it twill revolutioniZe the cotton
business Just as certain as that our
globe is surely leaving its ellipticity Of
orbit and approaching a perfect circle,
thereby reaching a perennial spring,
Just as certain it is that this iconoclastic
invention will change the cotton cur
rents of the country; will rub out old
ruts and establish new and direct lines
from the plantation to the factory, with
out the handling of midde-men and rag
piekers, without redraying and repress-
ing. have demonstrated it and know
what l say, as well as a hundred others
besides myself. You are right, too, in
stating that 1 have expended my last
available dollar in bringing this ma
chine to its present perfection. 1 have
advertised my lands in another column
of your paper for sale or mortgage at
half price, to raise money for building
and introducing them. When once
started, the exigencies and necessities
of modern commerce will demand and
command their universal use. The fiat
of fate is not more certain and peremp-
tory than the success and triumph of
this great improvement in the march of
modern commerce. To use your words,
.''success is certain sooner or later"

THE CONVENTIONS.

From the Upton County Record.l ID
We see that a writer in the Memphis
APPEAL, of a recent date, suggests the
twentieth of June as an appropriate time
for holding the convention in Memphis
to nominate county officers, and TO in
vite Upton and Fayette to send their
delegates to nominate the Senator and
Floater. We most heartily indorse the
views Of this writer, ana while We do
not assume to dictate to the Exeeu-
tive Committee of Shelby county, we
would suggest the twentieth as a
most suitable time to hold the
conventions. The delegates to the
convention fsom this county have all
been appointed, and are awaiting the
Of the committee in Shelby to TX
the day of assembling in Memphis, and
as the twentieth of June has been sug-
gested, we say, let that be the day.
