,Iustiee to General Pickett.

We noticed some three weeks or more
ago a Communication in the New York
Herald rejecting very savagely upon Gene
raj Pickett, of this city, but took no notice
of it at the time, for the reason that the
duty of defending this gentlemen devolved
upon our contemporaries rather than our
self. The charge against General Pickett
was this "That he had obtained $75, 900
for certain smallpox documents which he
sold to the war department during the last
political campaign, and that he had adver-
tised for more documents Of the same sort"
etc., etc.
The error-and it was a most ~egregious
one-into which The Herald correspond
ent Numbered, was in installing one Col
onel j. T. Pickett, of Kentucky, for Gen
eral George f. Pickett, of Virginia, whose
brilliant record during the Mexican war,
and the signal service he rendered the
United States while in the old army,
should have saved him from the vile asper.
sions of this Herald correspondent.
The simple truth is, that General Pickett
was a brave and brilliant officer in the
Confederate army, and n of the worst
men that we (meaning the side on which
we fought had to whip ; and we have in
yariably found that such men are aboy'
reproach in civil life. We felt like seeing
him handsomely thrashed during the war
but now that the contest is over, we are al
ready to do him justice as the next man

WHILE England is profoundly agitated
at the advance of Russia into Central Asia
as affecting her commercial interests, Rus
STA has recently also been aroused to the
fact that England also is threatening her
commerce by railroad advances into Persia,
and the trade societies Of ST. Petersburg
are holding meetings to consider how they
can best counterbalance the advantages
England may secure by a monopoly of the
Persian traffic. With this end in view,
and foreseeing that the English plan is tc
open a line from Teheran, the capital o
Persia, to Constantinople, they are already
beginning to bring a pressure to bear upor
the Russian government to construct lines
into Persia.

Selling Out the Plum der.

The Wheeling I%ntelligencer, in view of
the fact that the party managers in West
Virginia are just now pretty hard up for
money, and are distressed to find any
other way of raising the wind except by
putting the financial screws on the people
In the shape of additional taxation, sug
gests the sale of the historic Panhandle to
the State of Pennsylvania. On this SUBJ
.ject it expatiates thusly:
Pennsylvania, without a doubt, would pay n
good round sum for the little strip of territory
that lies between her western line and her nat
ural boundary, the Ohio river. She will give
enough money, we doubt not, to build a hahd-
some state house in that valley of perennial
spring, the Kanawha. If the legislature of West
Virginia and the legislature of Pennsylvania can
agree on a price TO be paid by the latter for these
four counties, there need be no further obstacle.
The two states agreeing, the consentof Congress
Will be given as a matter OF course.
This is a very nice little suggestion, and
Pennsylvania would no doubt snap eagerly
at the bait. But if the :" old Virginia."
which contracted the ante.belum debts now
pressed upon u Legislature for payment,
still exists in all its pride and plentitude of
power, how happens it that another state is
trying to barter away her territory for the
purpose of running a bogus state govern
ment? For if the sod Virginia still
lives, this proposition to sell out the Pan
handle to Pennsylvania is the funniest
thing that has yet transpired in the history
of the sod Dominion" Why don't
somebody offer to sell old Accomac and
Northampton to Maryland?
Here is a speculative opportunity for
Governor Wise for we venture to say
that he has ten times the claim to the
Eastern Shore peninsula that these scape-
grace politicians of West Virginia have to
the Panhandle. There is no denying this,
If the old state Of Virginia stM hres.
The fact is, there are two horns
to this ugly bondholder's dilemma,
and they should be compelled
to take one or the other, and not cling,
with the grasp of death, to both. Ethel
the old state of Virginia is dead, buried
and shoveled out of all earthly sight, OF
this proposed sale of the Panhandle is a
farce-a roaring, screaming farce. This is,
in logical predicament, q self-evident fact.

THURSDAY EvEN'G. FEB. 10, 1873.
The state Immigration Bill.

This bill, which now lies on the table
of the Senate, has not been very favora-
bly, considered thus far on its legislative
way through the two houses. Our oppo-
sition to it, which we very briefly ex-
pressed at one time, arose entirely from
a single clause in the bill, which was
that fixing the salary of its chief officer
at two thousand dollars q year. This
gave it a look of political jobbery. as if
somebody wanted q two thousand dollar
berth and nothing else. But we are as
sured that, if the bill passes, a live, ener-
getic, and thoroughly competent business
man of Richmond-one having extensive
acquaintance and business relations Oh the
other side Of the Atlantic-will consent
to accept the position of chief manager Of
the scheme, without regard to a properly
remunerative salary the first year, or until
he has demonstrated the value and impor-
lance of such a bureau to the State. Let
this fact be entirely assured by the friends
of the bill, and it may yet pass both
houses of the General Assembly, with but
little opposition from the Republican side.
We want no more political rubbish strewn
around the State capitol, but live
men working in live enterprises for the ad.
vancement of the material interests of the
State. We believe that a State Bureau
of immigration, properly organized and
directed, would be an advanced step in state
legislation. Let the bill be we'll consider
ed, and, above all, let the members be
thoroughly assured that it is not for the
purpose of putting a ten-cent man in o
tw~o-thousand dollar place.

ONE Of the great sources of wealth to
our State as we'll as West Virginia, which
has been rendered accessible by the COM
pletlon of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, is the i~nexhaustible forests Of the
finest timber that the sun ever shone upon.
Already portable saw-mills are being hur-
ried forward to these forests in the vicinity
of the road, saving out plank and other
timber for builders use. The trees here
have been standing for centuries awaiting
the Woodlands axe.
