Editors of the Register:
In trip from the Great Kanawha val
ley to this place, the traveller meets with
varieties both in climate and in people
The civil rights bill shows its hydra head
on the trip and herein the heart Of the
Alleghenies 1t is seeting to-day, while in
that Gland of perenniel summer the gar
dener was at work The difference in the
climate Of the two places is marked and
well defined.
On my arrival in this place l find the
usu,. stagnation in business that relgns
here during the winter but the Chcsa-
pcake and Ohio Canal will be opened IN
few days, and then the army of loaferS
now to be- seen daily, will be turned into
body of heavy workers, and coal-thc
great business of the place-will be ship
ped by the one hundred
car loads. Within the last
five years this place has grown at
least threc-tifths, and now presume the
postotlice at this place, represents six
thousand people. The entire valley Of
the Georges Creek Is increasing in
wealth and population, and taking i'll the
towns of Wcsternport and Barton, this
place, and other little towns, there Is a
continuous town from Piedmont on tn"
b. and o. K. r., t. Frostburg-a distance
of about sixteen miles. The population
is principally foreigners; Scotch, Wclch,
English and the inevitable lrishman.
Among the last named class, wish
To- refer particularly to the good work
done by Rev. Father James O'Suliiyan,
who has charge of the Roman Catholic
church IN this place. Five years ago the
average freshman here would take too
much of the "crathcr,' and was frequent
" found drunk tthis condition, WIS not
entirely confined TO the Irish, however
Father Sulivcn following in the foot
steps of the great Father Matthew, and
ether noted temperance rcformcrS, or
ganizcd temperance reform IN hi
flock and to-day the Irish people are
among the most respectable that can b"
found on that creek.
And now | wish to communicate II
little piece of news that may interest
materially some Of the readers of the
REGISTER. One of the sect, styling
themselves Milleritcs, has opened up his
mouth here and spoke To- the people set
ting the time for the great wind up of
mundane matters and the general squar-
ing up of accounts, on the 18th day OF
April, four o'clock and twenty minutes

cannot give the precise second for it
might be- convenient for some of your
readers to take the difference of time be-
tween this point and Wheeling, and
get the precise time for your pIac"
rs that time -four o'clock, &c., by the
SUM- is to be the time ~ the sun passc3
west, all the way round. 1t mny be a
little calling to the Wheeling people to
find that the people of Baltimore ana
other eastern points, will thus get few
minutes start Of them, but then there is
source for congratulatiOn in receiving
tclegraphic news from the people who
are seeing it, and be able to form some
positive idea of how the matter works.
