at Camp Bowie, Arizona, have bro

and are going toward TuIarosa, hav-
ing killed several persons and stolen

and they must leave or starve. There
is no game in the country and the

power to force the Indians to starve
peacefully or lie killed Violently.
A dispatch from General SchofieId

The Times in an editorial. rays:
The very limited circle of people who
read the World must have felt some
what alarmed yesterday morning
about the safety of the country. AT
the head of its first column appeared
in capital letters of portentous size
the following: "At Last-President

iiains betrays his accompiice--How
Grant reelected hiiuself-The Treas
ury of the United States drained to
carry the elec,ioas in New York
The President proved guilty OF NAL
feasances in Office" These hints were
obviously intended as a sort of gentle
stimulant to the attention of casual
readers of the World. while the fol-
lowing. in double-leaded type, was
meant TO convince him that some
thing truly serious had happened.
"The most melancholy news which
1t has even fallen Ia our lot 10 lay be-
fore the public, hardly excepting the
assassination of President Lincoln"
etc. 1t was simply II garbled report of
some evidence taken bcfore Con-
gressioiral Committee from which II
appeared that in the course OF three
or four years the department OF JUS
tice had paid on acquisitions Of John
l. Davenport about so 900 for the de-
lection and punishment Of election

JUSTICE.

We would ask your correspondent,
"Justice," upon what principle OF right,
did the County Court ask that "aH
County officers" should be passed
through the tollgates free from the
charge of toll! Do not all officers charge
and get paid for their services Why
not have asked the same favor for the
farmer, merchant, miller, juryman, DC,
they help pay the taxes to build these
roads. Now we doubt very much
shout brother "Justice" being brother
Granger, or he would have understood
the aim of that resolution. The mem
bers of the court have the rigid 10 &C
c,pt The courtesy, of the President and
Directors of the pixies to pass them free
but We very much question, whether
they are not extending courtesy un-
warranted by the strict provisions of
their charters.
Now, brother Granger "Justice," if
all were such doubling Changers as you
would indicate, we would have some
misgiving about running our big ma
chine, but be plucky, and give the aid
of your strength and wisdom, and we
will surely turn it; why not.

the New State Gazette, and dated
"Glen Easton, Marshall Co., w. Va"
and signed "Refor:n." He urges the
necessity of some concerted movement
on this subject, with great earnestuess
aud effect. In support Of the general
policy OF his recommendation, he makes
the subjoiued quotation from the speech
delivered last fall to the Agricultural
Association of Mason County, and con-
graduates the State of West Virginia
that it has man in its public councils
so decided in the support Of such re-
FERNS. In the address delivered by that
gentleman, after presenting the formid-
able competition which the farmer now
encounters in his business, he thus ad-
dresses the farmers: .r
Do not these facts admonish as that
we should grid up our loins aud pre-
pare to battle with this fearful and pow
erful competition i! Does not every
farmer see that he must look to some
thing beyond his unorganized and indi-
vidual strength to contend with this
changed condition of the world' Does
he not perceive that, like every other
trade, occupation, and business of life,
he must also look TO cooperative
strength and associated power to pro-
tect and offend his interests? Can he,
whilst all others are combining into So
cieties to advance their peculiar ends,
be safe in standing single-handed and
alone to cope with the united energies
and corporate monopofes which every
where surround him? Do they not
further teach US the importance of the
strictest economy, of the most intelli-
gent application to our farms of me-
ci,anical and animal labor, and Of The
necessity Of compelling reduction
Of local transportation, so that 1t shall
no longer consume the onrhaF of The
hard-earned fruits Of his labor?

Bring out the Vital Energy.

There is generally, even in the most
delicate constitution, a latent reserve OF
vital energy. The medical stimulant OF
all others best calculated to rouse this Wis
inertia is Hostetters Stomach Bitters. The
impulse which that inestimable prepare
ton lends to the action of the various or
gans insurcs more vigorous and conse-
Quently healthy discharge of their vari-
Gus functions than they would be capable
Of without its aid, and the ''fillip To ma
ture" thus communicated Is never excess
sive, but always equable and regular.
Just so much stimulationis impaired as is
required, and no more. In respect of the
healthful gentlencss of their action, the
Bitters are UNNECESSARILY superior to the
unmedicated stimulants of commerce,
which,, though they produce powerful
ty resuscitatihg effect for few minutes,
are invariably followed by reaction, cor
responding in depression to their primal
effect. They excite so much at first that
nature is wearied by the effort, and is apt
to sink under the exhaustion. Physicians
who have made the cumulative action OF
the Bitters the subject of experiment, de-
clare their decided preference Of them
over any other similar article. An equal
ly high opinion is entertained Of their
regulating qualities by medical men who
are acquainted with their tonic effects.
They speedily rectify an irregular habit
of body, digestive orders, and delinquen-,
cies of the urinary organs, which added
to their strengthening influence, renders
invaluable aid in dyspepsia, constipation,
hillary arrangements and weakness or IT.
ritation of the bladder or kidneys. Rheu.
matte affections are also greatly alleviated
by their blood depurating and anti-in-
flammatory organs.

LAND. LABOR, AND MONEY.

We present for the consideration OF
our statesmen, rs well our general read
er, the three elements combining the
basis of nations greatness, hoping
tina, they may take our first, apply to it
our second, and see what is the mission
of our third.
Our first, we contend, is the grand
foundation laid by prominent wisdom;
for the second TO erect upon and draw
out of in the exercise OF its skill, all that
is absolutely essential for mans com
forts, wants and necessities. Every
thing else is merely artificial, and sup
elements the paraphernalia for the dis
play Of mankind, in his artificial state.
Our third is device, and among the
first devised by man, and the different
ages OF society have made it both OF
metal and scrip, Math. Y. Its use has
been, and still is of a representative
character its kind snd value has always
been confined aud fixed by the coun-
tries, or people using it. This being
briefly stated, its mission and history,
we desire to call attention to its present
important influence upon the material
prosperity of our nation. 1t has become
by the adroit manipulation Of our legs
lators the lord or controller of land and
labor, instead of medium of exchange
or a representative of their value this
is its perversion, and it will exercise
very pernicious and damaging influence
until is is brought back into its normal
status.
Money, by the laws of nations, is ere
aied by the authority of respective gov
ernments, they designating its kind and
current value, by special laws. The
wisdom or folly Of those laws carries
with them its benefits or its injuries.
We have by our present laws two
kinds. metal and paper, each receiving
their current value by authority OF laws,
and the people are obliged to accept
them accordingly; our laws however
very unwisely and unjustly discrimi-
mates, so as TO create very rulnous dis
,inction in the use of this money among
its own citizens, and subjects, land and
labor to its damaging effects for in
stance you are obliged to accept for the
products of your land and labor, the pa
per money made and issued under the
law, and deprecated by the same law
whilst the government, your creature
and it's creator, with privileged class
of persons, are exempted from receiving
il. Just here is where the first cheat
comes in; and secondly its control is
confined to that privileged class, the
Bond holders, who contract it, makes Its
use valuable by making it scarce

LETTER FROM LEETOwN,
March On 1874

March 20, 1875.
The protracted meeting at Mt. Zion
closed on Wednesday night OF last
week. Mr.. Sheppard had no minister
ial assistance during the meeting Prob
ably the best sermons delivered during
the meeting were upon "Peters Denial
of Christ" and THE folly of giving the
Mind and Heart whoeIy to earthlyinter
ests." There were fifteen or sixteen
conversions, as part of the fruit of the
meeting. Ten of the converts have
given their names to the church for the
purpose of becoming members.
The much talked of spelling match at
Smith6eld came off last Tuesday even
ing and resulted in complete victory
for the students of the Gridiron Acade-
my. The Upper School furnished but
three or four spoilers.
The Smithfeld Academicians selected
the lesson and made all the arrange
ments for the contest, even insisting
that their opponents should come 10
Clip for the trial. Everything was car
ried out according to the Clip pro-
gramme, except the victory, and that
was won by the Leetown boys. sup
pose that "Nemo" will now call it upper
Hill work to spell against the Gridiron
students. Come, Memo, let US have the
full particulars of the contest. We are
anxious to hear all about it.
The sun has been crossing the line
to-day, and winter got up its biggest
snow in honor of the event. In fact
the rough spell has been here for sever
al days, beginning last Thursday, with
an all day rain, and then Saint Patrick's
anniversary was decidedly wintry.
l believe that most of our villagers
have suspended gardening operations
for the present, and 1 suppose that the
suspension is the best that they can do
under existing circumstances.
Mr.. James f. Watson has sold out
his stock OF goods, to bis brother,
Mr.. Charles NJ. Watson, who has taken
charge of the establishment, and is now
ready to receive his friends and the pub
lie generally, at the "Old Store" as it
is generally called. We wish Charley
may have fine run of custom, and
plenty of promptly paying customers.
Rev. James Grammar preached in the
Episcopal Church yesterday morning,
to small congregation. The sermon
was fairly good.
Moving" is an almost everyday &C.

families are changing their places of

severed, and new friendships will be
formed, frequently to be broken when

Reduction Of Local Transports
ton.

One Of the most important and bene-
fetal results sought to be accomplished
by the Patrons Of Husbandry, is the re-
duction of local transportation upon
the productions of the farmer. The
high rate charged by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, upon local
transportation through the State OF
West Virginia, has been subject of
serious complaint for many years Hav-
inc had occasion recently to compare
the local rates upon the New York Cen
trail Railroad, with those exacted by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, we
have been astonished at the difference.
The charges from New York to Buffa-
10, embracing all the intermediate sta,
tious. are in no instance one halt, aud
upon many of the articles, one third OF
what is charged as freight between bal
timore and Psrkersburg or Wheeling;
This is a severe tax upon the labor and
industry of West Virginia, and should
be remedied If it is in the power OF leg
islation or public opinion to accomplish
1t. ~ ..s..,
We had hoped that more enlight.
ened policy would have been pursued
by this company, and that it would it
self have seen the Importance to its own
interests of stimulating the industry
, and promoting the prosperity of the
country through which it passes. But
its policy has been that of stockholders
not statesmen. 1t looks to immedi-
ate dividends-not TO the permanent
welfare of country with whose inter
ests its own must be identified.
Certainly it is within the power Of
the Legislature to remedy this evil.
Why have not bold and decided meas
ures been taken upon the subject! All
the counties commercially connected
with that road, in West Virginia, ought
to make it point to select delegates
to our next legislature who will go
pledged apd Instructed to accomplish
some reform upon this subject.
We adapt this last suggestion from
very INSTRUMENTATION published in
