OUR KANAWHA LETTER.

CHARLESTON, June 18th, 1874.
Editors ofthe Register.
Since my last letter this valley has
been visited by one OF the most welcome
rains which any people ever wished
for; it will be the making of the oats
crop, also doing great deal for the
corn; the crop OF hay being too far
advanced to be greatly benefited by
it.
There was talk sometime since, OF
establishing Oranges in this county,
but as we have heard nothing of it
lately, We suppose it has all blown
over. If there is any benefit for the
farmers to De derived from them, for
heavens sake let us have them, Tor we
are sadly in need OF something to raise
the pride OF our farmers, and stimulate
their minds to make exertions for their
own welfare. There seems 70 be q sad
lack OF enterprise among the greater
part of this class of people in this
vicinity, as the large number OF unkepr
farms will testify. Excessive cropping
without cloveriug will soon impoverish
the best Of soil. This should at all
times be borne in mind by those who
are contemplating farming. Henry
Ward Beecher Gays that there are
more good professional men born
each year than farmers" this zoe hon.
estly believe to 6e-ease, as no doubt he
did when he made the assertion.
We. notice that wheat has begun to
turn yellow, and will in a few days be
ready for harvesting.
There is, at present. a large amount
OF sickness in this place, aud surround
ing vicinity, there having occurred an
unusual smount OF deaths in the pas!
fortnight; eleven, we believe.
Yesterday as the steamer D. T.
Lane was passing this place with sew.
eral empty bsrges in tow, she ran into,
and overturned q skitf containing a
couple Of boys aged about nine years
each, who were attempting to pass In
front of the barges. As soon as posi-
bic steam was turned off and the steam
err backed, but too late; the boys having
sunk 10 rise no more. After two or
three hours OF dragging the river the
bodies were recovered and found to be
those OF Charlie Bender and Willie
Botkin, sons OF Mr.. George Bender and
J. T. Botkin, both prominent mer-
chants of this city. Some contribute
the drowning to accident, while others
to the csrelessness OF tine pilot on the
boat. The verdict ieight OF the jurors
was that the deceased came to thei
death by accidental drowning; the
verdict OF the other four was that the
drowning was caused through gross
neglect Of the pilot :" the latter verdict
has but few supporters, We believe,
however. as it is said by those who
witnessed the scene that the boys
became paralzed and ceased rowing,
or they could have saved themselves.
This Sad accident should be warning
to parents, to ce less careless about let
ting their children expose themselves
to danger by being out in the river
when boats are passing.

above here. and the consequent intro-
duction into the river of large quantities
OF sulphur; but this theory is exploded
BY the fact that the destruction of the
fish is said to be as great above rs
below the Sandy. Another theory is
that the blasting OF rock 10 the bed
OF the river in the vicinity OF Buck
hannon-carried on, We learn, very
extensively-hss killed the fsh by
the heavy conclusions or explosions
In the water. This might answer,
were it not for the fact that all the
creeks tributary to the river above and
around Buckhannoa seem to be i'm.
pregnsted with the same indefnable
something destructible to the life of
the fish. We are informed that these
creeks are likewise being purged of
their Inhabitants, although we do not
vouch for the accuracy Of our
information, as it is somewhat indefn-
lite.

GORDON AND SPENCER.

CONGRESSIONAL SQUABBLE-A CARPET BAG .
GER MEEls HIS NAN AND BECOMES HIS
ENEMY FOR LIFE.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald gives refresh
ing version of a little affair during the clos
ing scenes of congress: As various accounts
of the difficulty between General Gordon,
the senator from Georgia, and Spencer, the
carpet Dagger, who. through fraud and viii
lainy, enjoys the right to misrepresent our
sister State of Alabama in the Senate, have
been going the rounds of the newspaper
press, Herald reporter learning that Gen
eral Gordon had returned to his home, called
upon him, and gathered the following state
ment of facts in reference to it: General
Gordon received letter from the Hon. John
Forsyth, of Mobile, requesting him to see
that the bill for the removal of his disa
bilities be taken up and passed. The bill
had been reported on favorably by the COM
mittee, bu'. under the rules of the Senate,
could not be taken up except by unanimous
consent. Gen. Gordon called it up, 0ot sup
posing that there could be any one who
would object. He was mistaken, however,
for when it was called, Spencer said, "
object" Gen. Gordon, who was sitting
near Spencer, said to him:
"Spencer. why is this; what objection
can you have?"
He replied:
"D-n him, / hate him. He. has abused
me in the columns of his paper, calling me
carpet-bagger, thief, blackguard, etc., and

OUTSIDE TESTIMONY.
MoURNs HER NEGLECTED oP
P0RTUNITIES,

EVANSVILLE MoURNs HER NEGLECTED oP-
PoRTUNITIES.
In noticing the proposed Book Concern to
be established in Indianapolis, the Evans
vile Courier has the following pertinent
comments: Some months ago Mr.. Richard
Edwards, of Chicago, came to this city tor
the purpose of interesting our citizens in the
esta blishment of a large Book Publishing
Concern at Evansville Several attempts
were made to get our capitalists TO take hold
OF the enterprise, but resulted in nothing def
mite. After staying here some time, Mr..
Edwards went to indianapolis, and We notice
10y the Sentinel's account of meeting called
to consider his proposition, that it was fully
discussed and endorsed" and that the sue
cess of the enterprise is assured. We know
nothing about Mr.. Edwards except that he
brought with him number of high testi-
monials to his integrity of character and in
dustrious business habits. We only call the
attention of our citizens to the fact that the
people of Indianapolis are always alive TO the
interests of the capital city, and through
the efforts of an organized Exchange"
are outstripping Evansville, and all other
cities in Indiana, in the race for wealth.
This book concern will empty 800 operators.
The edge tool factory, which was offered to
Evansville by preference before Indianapo-
lis secured it, employs about the same num-
Der. Thus, in two years, indianapolis has
gained probably three hundred families and
three hundred single men, which would
have sssuredly settled here in Evansville
had our moneyed men and real estate own
ers been as liberal in proportion to their
means as the same class of citizens of In
dianapOlis were.
