a CARD.
CnARIEsrowN. W. Va,


Mr. Editor Two years ago was elected,
without my knowledge, President of the
Board of Education of Charlestown District.
Having accepted the Office, have tried to be
faithful il discharging its duties, keeping
equally in mind the interest of the schools
and Of the tax payers. But ]. now beg of you
space to say to voters, in advance of the APP.
preaching election, they must elect some other
person to the Office of President; for 1 can
not consent to serve another term on she
Board of Education
The education of youth is an exceedingly
important interest in any community. Our
school law is obscure on many points, aud fails
to define clearly the duties of officers, and the
relations between them. Under cover of this
obscurity, and under the influence of many
temptations, it is easy for an ambitious or in
discreet officer to usurp power, and for a neg
ligent officer to shift his own responsibility
upon another. There is common disposition
to impose upon the public treasury. a great
deal of time is required of each officer who
will give the schools proper attention, yet the
law allows no compensation whatever to any
trustee or member of the Board.
These general statements are submitted in
order that voters may see the importance of
the election for School Officers, and that'it is
very desirable to elect intelligent, judicious,
firm, and true men. Yours truly,
C. H0PKINS

A WORD FOR OUR SECTION.

The following we copy from the Free Press
of this place. We hope our Northern tx-
changes will give it full circulation:
HARPER's FERRY, July IL, 1875.
Editors of Free Press
Ny DEAR SIRs: i have resigned my po-
sition as Agent of B. & o. r. r., and IN
tend to leave for the west on, the 18th.
l wish to leave with you rsfutation ESQ
far as my experience goes) that a Northern
man coming here to live, can not do SO with>
out being ostracised.
My position as Agent of b. & o. r. r. at
Harper's Ferry for nearly eleven years past
has brought me in contact with all classes of
people of this great Valley, and say with
great pleasure and satisfaction that never
wish to be treated with more courtesy and
friendship than have received from all
classes Of your people, they knowing that
what little of politics did exercise were re-
publican. / am fully satisfied that most of
my warmest and most influential friends are
men that were either heartily engaged for, or
strongly sympathised with the Confederate
cause.
1, therefore, with pleasure say to any
Northern man wishing to make his home here
to come on, and if he possesses Industry, in>
terity and manhood and seeks by such to gain
living among your people, he will be well
come aud encouraged.
regret very much breaking with many
pleasant aud agreeable associations have met
with during my long sojourn among you, and
only do so with full hopes of greatly better
ing my own prospects.
With my warmest wishes for the pros
perity and happiness of your people.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.

The United States Economist, of New
York, has the following editorial remarks con-
corning the resources of West Virginia.
"The industrial resources and natural
wealth of West Virginia are at length at
tracing the attention which they deserve, and
both Eastern and foreign capital has been
within the last few years invested to cons
siderable amount. Messrs Moses Taylor,
Cisco, Stuart, the Astors, and other capitalists
are known to have invested quite.heavily, and
there can be no question that if trade was
only reasonable the investments would be
much larger than they are. For richness,
variety and accessibility the Kanawha Valley
possesses advantages not to be found else
where in the world. There is no mining in
the ordinary sense of the term. The min
erals nearly all lie on the surface, and for
scores of miles ON tho track of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad coal and iron may be
detached from the clefts in the mountain side
and rolled down to the railroad cars waiting
to receive them"
