Gg- The CArrrAL QUEsTIcN.-Since
the meeting of our State Legislature
considerable pressure has been inaugu-
rated on the part OF the citizens OF
Wheeling and other points, for the re-
moval ofthe State Capital from Charles
ton. 1t seems that the delegates OF
Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan coun-
ties, as well as others, are opposed to
its removal. The following extract
from a letter written at Charleston, on
the 23rd ult., to the Wheeling Register,
willthrow some lightupon the subject
The arrival Of the Wheeling papers
last night, which contained articles on
the capital question, filled the Charles
onians with fear and con rnation, and
had an effect similar to the bursting of
a bomb shell in the camp Of an enemy.
They are beginning to get frightened,
and are now working like beavers, Or
ganizing their forces to resist any attack
on their breastworks. They can be
seen on the streets, in the saloons, stores,
hotels, and everywhere, and fit around
as busy as bees in tar bucket, advoca-
ting the claims of Charleston, land trying
to convince their listeners of its adyan-
tages over all other points contesting
for the honors of the capital. The zeal
with which they work, the earnestness
with which they plead, would convince
anybody that they really believe the
removal of the seat Of government
would be the death knell to Charleston's
future greatess and prosperity. The
"anti-movers" are holding caucus to-
night to fix up some plan OF action. /
learn that X. H. Butcher, of Jefferson
county. will be their champion in the
House. He was a candidate for Speak
ership of the House, and | suppose he
will seek sweet consolation in opposing
Wheeling for the capital, because Mr..
Miller defeated him for the Speakership.
He is one of the shrcwdest men in the
House, a good talker, thorough parlia
mentarian, an effective worker, and will
carry force with him in whatever he I'M
dertakes to do. The advocates of re-
moval will hold caucus Monday even
ing to perfect some sort Of an organiza-
ton by which their focccs can be uni
ted, so as to act together in harmony
and concord.
Campbell, member of the House from
Hancock county, is reported to be OPP
posed to removal, and will vote accord
insly. 1t might be well for the people
of Hancock county to give some ex-
preston of their views on the subject,
and let Mr. Cambell be informed, by
petition or otherwise, the feeling OF his
constituency on this important custom.
He surely will not vote contraryto their
desires
am not prophet, nor the son OF
pronbet. but before concluding this sub
icct let me advise the citizens of Wheel
inc not to indulge in any high hopes, or
build any castles in the air, for there is
probability that Wheeling nor any
other point will get the Capital, and
that it may remain ust where it is.
BATTERY SPIKED.
One thing, however, that has hereto
fore greatly aided the Permanent Seat
ers in their efforts, has been to consid-
cradle extent removed. We refer to
the effect of the Establishments and
charms of the bewitching young ladies'
of the Kanawha Valley on the suscepti-
BILE bachelors Of the two branches. fla
member last winter spoke in favor of a
removal, whole battery of sweet smiles
and pretty faces was brought to bear
upon him; and what wonder he surren-
dered Now this is changed. We'd
ding has followed wedding i'll quick
succession, and the ranks of the fair
raiders have been so fearfully decimated,
that there is but little left to fear from
