RAltBoAD.-Ilhe act Of tho Legislature
passed February %, 1871, grants The
right to construct n Railroad from
Weston to Clarksburg, and creates II.
P Camden, YIN. L. Arnold, I. b..
Camden, j. NJ Bennett, Thomas A.
Edwards and Charles $. Lewis corpo-
rators, with power to open books Of
SUBSCRIPTION, and to do whatever Is
necessary to organize the company.
We call upon the corporators to act,
that We may judge what tho people arc
disposed to do. Lot the books be
opened, and We can sec how the matter
stands. We will then have no doubt
in respect to our friends or our enc
mics. Harrison county has excluded
US from her borders, ata time We sup.
posed she would be cordial to her first
aud most important daughter. From
recent events, it ia apparent we must
exclude Harrison from tho list Of
friends, and look to ourselves and thole
in direct sympathy and interest with
US for support. The amended charter
directs the road 10 be made through
Upshur, Barbour and Taylor to Graf
ton. II sabOlt the same distance by
that route which it is by way Of
olarksburg, and Is greatly more i'm.
portant to Us. tits conceded that By
the change offoute We will have more
road to construct, but we may rely on
more profits aud moro sympatbising
friends on tic new lino. We have d
favorable charter, which viii expire,
without organization, on tho I'D day
Of August next; and We would natl.
orally suppose that our people would
seize upon oil advantages voluntarily
offered to organize and commence the
work within the time limited by law,
We cannot refrain from expressing our
regrets that We were rejected at the
very border Of Harrison county on this
profitable and friendly mission; but We
are impOllCd on the tide Of fortune to
look at the strong arm Of help which
our sister counties Of upshur, Barbour
and Taylor can and arc anxious to give.
All we need is resolution and activity,
and by these We win an Independence
in travel, trade and commerce that may
safely defy competition, and the indii-
ference Of those whose support We had
q right to expect. We earnestly call
upon the Commissioners to open books
fot subscription, aud at an early day
organize the company.

good joke has come to light. During
the recent wet weather, Rov, Henry
Lsngford, apopular Baptist minister d
this county, was met on his way to his
appointments by Mr.. William G. Har-
risOn, who loves a good joke as he
does his life. Tho rain was pouring
down in torrents. WELL" said Har-
rison, u thought you were opposed to
spriakiiag." Langford hcsitated a
moment, and then replicd-"I have
no objection to il in the world brother,
ghsn II comes from aIove !" Mr..
Harrison declared himself fairly beaten,
and both parties went on their way re-
ioicing.

ET Tna KAsAwuA DAMs.-Thc
81. called Improvement" Of in,rodu.
cling locks and dams into the Little
Kanawha River, has bsen a loss to tho
people Of this section Of country Of
many thousands Of dollars every year.
Instead Of being an advantage, they
have proved to be the greatest obstruc.
tons which the raftsman has to en-.
counter on his trip down the river.
Instead Of facilitating the passage to
market Of tho products Of the country.
they retard it, and in addition to all
this, tho raftsman is compelled to pay
q heavy toll.-The above is plain
statement Of tho case, as given Us by
q raftsnan, and we know, from actual
observation, that every word Of lis
true. The Same state Of things exists
on Elk River, since the building of
locks and dams was attempted on that
stream.-And now, the people living
along tho rivers We have named, and
the tributaries thereof, look to the
governing power for relief. They
have endured this thing long enough
so long that forbOarance has ceased
TO be q virtue. And we warn the
ehimerical lock and dam projectors
that il the people are to DO annoyed
with these improvements another
year, nitro-glycsrine will force the
right Of way which is now denied
them. That q man should toll, month
after month, 10 getting his timber to-
gether, and then, when tho "rise"
comes, to be prevented from getting to
market with the product Of bis labor,
| is something that the hardy sons Of
I,raxton, Websler, Gilmer, and Cal.
houn will not submit to-they would be
foolish ifthey did. We arc for any
and all improvements that will benefit
our country, aud so are the people Of
1.-The counties we have named, but when
impossible locks and dams are erected
10 ebs.rues navigation, and TO extort
money for which no equivalent IL the
world isrendered, any jury will ex-
cuse them for taking tho law into
their own hands. The Legislature
should, aud We trust will, take proper
action In tho matter, OF lis next ses-
sion. 10 this end let proper petitions
DO circulated aud signed, and present
cd 10 the Legislature BY the delegates
from the counties that are injured BY
these cutragss upon the word "im'
proyement."
