Editors Of the IAtellI;eucer:
I observe in your daily OF to-day a

James NJ. Laidley, Esq, OF Charleston,
wherein, with reference to the labor
trouble recently experienced, lam made
to express the opinion that the remedy
lies with the general government. And

Eli,Ora InteIIIgenCer:
With deep interest, yea, intense interest,
| may say, did l watch the movements OF
your city, in which have many warm
friends, during the lawIess proceedings
in Pittsburgh and other places; and the
triumph Of law and order among you at.
forded me a corresponding qualification.
| waS much pleased with the course of
your representative working men, whose
heads were "level," as set forth in the
ISTETLIGENcER. All honor to them. And
| was equally pleased with your edi-
torials. l suppose there are always
enough Of faultGnders to keep an editor
from being exalted above MEASURE" and
when, through trying period, when
thousands by u gale OF excitement are
swept from their moorings, an editor
stands fast as an un1inching advocate
for the supremacy Of law, l think it not
amiss to give him grain oil encourage
ment. | have for some time past read
your editorials with pleasure; Tor, upon
every question involving moral principle
and the red! interest OF the masses,
deem them sound and conclusive 20 the
public veal. May the Lord bless you and
bless your labors, and may Wheeling, the
kindness and sympathy of whose citizens
| once enjoyed when In deep affection
and sore bereavement, be forever saved
from, mobs and from the reckless spirit
which has been rampant in other cities.
Respectfully yours,
