Correspondence OF the Register.
BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. q.
The demand CT the REGISTER for the
news OF Baltimore is additional evidence
of the growing enterprise OF Wheeling
journalism. The improvement IN this
direction is a subject OF remark. The
Wheeling dsiies have always been good
local papers, but the people OF this gen.
Grafton are travellers, with more or less
scousintances,s and more or less interest in
the affairs OF all the populous centers OF
the country. They want to hear from
them, not only as 10 their politics, and
the price OF beef and produce, but rs to
their social lie and local happenings OF
interest, and if they don't get this from
the home journal, they will send abroad
for it. The REGISTER Is doubtless but
recognizing this demand in business
WAY, and meeting it Ia buslhess spirit,
while throwing out line hither and
thither TO catch tho news OF distant local
ities in which It's readers are Interested.
This is as it should be. The whole State
of West Virginia has been accustomed
10 depend upon the Wheeling dsilles,
and there is no reason why the metrop-
oils of the State should not continue
to monopolize this business, which the
enterprise OF the REGISTER will enable
it 10 do.
Wheeling and Baltimore are becoming
more nearly related every year. l notice
that the Sun, ss IL in recognition OF this
fsct, has begun 10 give daily specials"
from Wheeling. A glance at the hotel
arrivals, IN the morning papers, seldom
| fails 10 disclose some from your city.
Not only this, but your people are locst-
