Having just returned from your old
county, "Pocahonlas," where We have
been on the big bear hunt-we were at
the head of navigation on the mountains
high-we imagined we were on the
mount where Moses was when he re-
ceived the Holy Law. We had the
pleasure of meeting the land mark,
Brother Woodell. Mr.. Woodcll says,
when he comes to the State Senate, he
will try the roads one time more.
We came down the valley of the
! Little Kanawha river. The citizens
talked politics, capital removal and the
| coming men, &c. We have located the
capital in Braxton county, the geograph-
ical centre of the State, but then, you
know, tho Wheeling men. are all
such heightened honorable gentle
men, according to Senator Vaughn 5
ideas that we don't know whether he
would ever vote tor the capitol to be
removed from Wheeling Oh not. We are
acquainted with many of the good citi-
zens of Wheeling. There is "Billy' Mil
Ter, who is very clever fellow, would
make good State Auditor, and our
genial friend little Bob Simpson. Rob
crt is lady's man, gentleman and q
scholar, and would make safe Treasurer
for our State.
l.. 5. Jordan is one of the best men
in the State. We saw HIM well tried
this winter. He made good presiding
officer, and would make good Attorney
General, and, George, you well know
Mr.. Jordan is clever man, for We had
the pleasure OF seeing you get on the
outside of one of the best Thanksgiving
dinners. at Mr.. Jerdan's house-where
We, together with others, had been IN.
vitcd-that it has ever been our good
fortune to meet with.
Next our little friend George K. Tin
gle. We do most heartily recommend
MIR. Tingle to the honorable voters Of
Ohio county for sheriff. George would
make a good sheriff, one that the county
might be proud Of.
The people in this valley are all in
favor OF Hon. Geo. w. Thompson for
Judge of the Court of Appeals, and we
say "Amen," though George we are not
in favor of the Judge, for the reason that
we had the pleasure of drinking some Of
his ten year old wine; but we favor
the Judge because he has one of the finest
legal minds in the State.
We will say that Wheeling has so
many good citizens that 1t Will be very
hard to ever move the Capital but We
NAV give her a dig some day.
We are all going to renew our sub
scriptions to the REGISTER in time to get
a "cnaw" at them big oxen. We want
TO improve our stock in the Valley.
When we were in Pocahontas county
the voters were talking of sending Hon.
b. f. Martin to Congress from the Sec
ond District. This, we think, is as 1t
should be, for Mr.. Martin was fairly and
honorably elected to Congress at one
time and was defrauded out OF his seat
by dirty Radical ring in Washington,
who it is said was so dirty and corrupt
at one time that the man in the moon
held his nose as he pas 'ed over the city,
and We are now in favor of giving MIR.
Martin a fair show.
The centennial man has been in CAL
houn county.
George Lynch is now getting q pho.
tograph of the county court to
send to the great centennial fair at Phil
adelphia. We extend to our friend
Lynch our right hand.
There have been great revivaIs OF reilg-
ion in the valley with the Mc,hodlsts,
Baptists and Complexities. We Presby-
terians have not been doing much since
our great leader, Henry Ward Beecher
has been cutting up so much among our
sisters way down in Brooklyn, NEST
hiding &c.
The voters in Writ county are in favor
of Allen, or Thurman of ONO. Tor
President and VIM. =, Thompson OF
West Va. for Vice President and when
Thurman and Thompson are elected, we
will have "Bees Blair called home and
send ex-senator Caldwell 10 be Judge IN
Wyoming. go,
Charley is good fellow and will
make splendid judge and Blair Is good
on dominoes or muggins.
We learn that Judge Furgerson and
Hon. J. b. Jackson have both joined the
Good Templars, and are now delivering
temperance lectures. II SO, they both
will be elected to Congress from their
respective districts.
All the voters in the Valley are in
favor OF Okey johnson tor Judge of the
Court o. Appeals, and We are too, thou h
some are in favor OF sending Okey 70
the court o; ST. james when Thurman is
elected President, a. he can talk louder
than Uncle Bill Aller. We can hear
him from the court OF 81. James TO the
city OF Washington OF a still morning.
Since Uncle John Horner has taken
the starch out Of Scotield Of the stat,
Jotrnol, he [ C. e now smells like our
old demijon. CONFEDERATE
