1t has been announced that the cars would
commence; running to Gauley on last Mon

18th Of this month 10 run there, 10y which
we will be brought within two days of Rich
piond. Galsley is lightweight miles from this
place, and seventy miles from the White
sulphur Springs. A daily stage now runs
from the Springs to CoalburS, by which
through tickets are sold from Richmond 10
this place. Itmay seem strange inthis day
of sielm to say so, but this route is much
the quickest now, because it is direct; by
any other it is necessary to go around
"l,obin Hoods barn." Us the saying is, to
get here. Passengers may take the cars Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Rich
mond one morning. reach White Sulphur
Springs same night, Gauley next night, and
Huntington .hy 10 O'Clock a. NJ. next day,
making little over forty-cight hours from
Richm, nd. AT Huntington, parties who d.
not wish to remain here can 20 70 any poiSt
on the Ohio Oh Mississippi rivers, Or u the
towns from which railroads run TO all points.
There are no less than eight daily packet
boats leaving and arriving every day except
Sunday, and several on that day. l am sorry
to say that the Sabbath is not observed here
as strictly as it should be. Huntington
might well take a lesson from Richmond III
that respect; besides the boats arriving here.
the gros-sliops and ice-crcam satoonsare kept

II met gentleman few days ago who at

paye me an insight into the feeling. there
which was not made public. He says that
no resolutions endorsing the Cincinnati
nominees were introduced becauseof the OPP
noyitjon of some of the. old members Of the
marty. but that it was very easily perceived
chat the feeling of large majority Of those
nresent was i'm favor OF the Liberal
movement. He related IN incident illuslra-
tive of the fact. He said that at one time
some resolutions were read which were moi
heard in the. back part of the ball; that
some one present called out, Read r and
the call was misunderstood as "Greeiey"
that it was taken UP in all parts of the crowd
very enthusiastically, and in such manner
as to show that a vote on the subject would
have resulted in aGrcclcy triuniph.a be
