attention Of our contemporary to the fact that

The correspondent of the Charleston Nera,
who has been doing Liberia has clearly
shown the present state and the promised flu
lure Of that negro republic. His picture Of
the country and its people Is undoubtedly Il
truthful and correct one; he is particularly
severe upon the laziness and want of foresight
pf the negro coonists, shows the decay exist
ing in many parts of that country, and yet
winds up his description with most flatter-
ing compliment to the Lberian population.
He thinks that the civilization Of the negro
republic is progressive, and that the youthful
Liberians, the children of the negro emgrant,
from this country, are q great improvement
on their parents. With each generation the
Liberlan improves, moves forward in the
scale Of civilization, and that without any as.
sistance or aid from the Caucasian. The
American born negro improves but little in
Africa: he remains pretty much what he was
here, except that he grows lazier; he attempts
an Imitation of the white man and fails COM
plefely; but the next generation, brought up
wholly on the soil of Africa, cut off entirely
from communication with the whites, shows
energy, enterprise and progress.
4 The most unfortunate thing for Liberia. the
.Netes correspondent thinks, would be a
heavy immigration from the United States.
I'LL left to ITSELF 1t will develop civilization Of
It'll own, but IL 1t be filled with negroes from
America, these will greatly retard the devel-
opnaent and Improvement OF the country.

BURIAL OF THE BEAD.

The Presbyterian Ministers of Pitts
burgh have adopted some sensible sug-
gestions and recommendations in regard
10 funerals, mourning costumes, &c,
which we give in full in another part Of
the REGISTER. Since the cost of funerals
a. ordinarily conducted, has become an
oppressive burden 10 families of moderate
circumstances, these gentlemen recon-
mend that all ostentstious display which
is, in itself, vulgarity, be abolished.
Let the coffin DO plain and without
gaudy decoration. Let carriages be
furnished only tor the family and near
relatives. IT. mourning let the unneces-
sary and unsoemly black be discarded,
especially by ladies IS q Summer gsrb.
With all of these suggestions wemost
heartily agree. There is nothing more
repugnsnt to Borrowing heart than
gaudy display at a funeral. Only the in
innate friends Of family should be ex-
pected to participate in funeral exercises
and professions. The suggestion that
the long-contnued wearing of full
mourning costumes be abolished is full cf
sense.

THE POTTERY BUSINESS.

AS we have heretofore noted in these
columns, several practical potters from
Liverpool offered to establish pottery
at Sseubenville, to cost $4,000, the
Liverpool parties putting In $4,000 on
condition that Steubenville capitalists in
vest S21 900 Meetings have been held,
the whole business fully discussed, can
wasting committees to take subscriptions
to the stock appointed, but up to this
time but $1,000 or $1,000 has been raised.
Finally, proposition has been made to
the Liverpool men that if they will
raise $4,000 and come on and get up
the mandatory, the people Oh Steuben-
willie would loan them the remaining
$4,000, without interest, taking q mort
gage on the concern as security. This
plan seemed to meet with moro favor
than the proposition to invest outright.
In this connection we are requested,
by practical and responsible potter, to
ask the monied men of Wheeling what
encoarsgem ent they are prepared to e1-
tend to the establishment of this branch
of industry in this city? Any one who
feels an interest in this matter can get
some information by calling at the REG
IsTER office.

GOING WEST.

They sre no more certain of finding
the fortunate islands who sail into
strange ATTITUDES than they who cling to
the consultations and friends OF their
youth; for these islands come TO those who
seek them rightly and need no voyages.
Success in life does not consist in finding
golden nuggets, and if it did, the mug
gets ara very rare and guarded by
many dangers. The truest sue
cess is that which comes from q
well ordered and productive and
happy lie, whether tina: is sccOmps-
MED with less or greater wealth. That
life has every condition for the poor right
here. Here are the industries and ex.
changes that stimulate intellectual effort
and reward al expenditure. Here are
the markets that require and repay IN
dustry of every sort. The thousands now
leaving for certain privation, trial, isola-
ton and other foils to their brilliant
hopes in the trans. Mississippi, would do
well to remember that every one Of
them can rent, or buy at low
rates, excellent land in Weat
Virginia, where taxes are low, where
transportation is quick and cheap, where
markets are near and numerous, where
schools and churches abound, where law
is enforced; and by cultivation or stock
growing clear larger annual revenue
than will remain from ten times greater
results in remote States. No State offers
finer inducements to immigrants to day
than this. Millions can grow rich, and
will yet do So snd enjoy life while en-
ployed. The glowing descriptions OF
distant lands omit all the drawbacks
These amount to the voluntary loss of
all the civilization of the last half CEN
fury, and of Its present fruits. Those
who plan to exchange West Virginia for
any other State will act more wisely if
they rent or buy and cultivate one OF the
many offered farms at home.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

After the most abundant harvest OF
wheat which this country ever gathered,
aud with the prospect of reaping another
still more bountiful within the Rext
ninety days, the price of wheat in the
Wheeling market to-day is sl.1O@l1o.
This country has had, in fact, a succession
of hsrvests of unusual yield; and, in sd
dition, it has been blessed with crops oil
corn and other grams of great magni-
tude. But notwithstanding this, the
wheat market has been well maintslnedi
not only in this city but throughout the
country.
In "a conversation with FRANK SMITH,
the Elm Grove miller, yesterday, ne said
that, even should there be no European
war this summer, wheat would probably
not be materially lower in this vicinity.
He says there is no large surplus of this
grain now in the hands Of farmers OF this
region; and that the price is at this time
lower here than in the West, SO that 1t
cannot be imported from that section IN
til q large decline takes place In that re-
gion. He says that wheat has not been
below S1.O0 d bushel in this market since
the opening of tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad but once, and that was IN 1861
It then brought 80 cents. He says 1t
may come down to this figure again after
harvest, but it is quite as likely TO not go
below 800. Wheat now commands
81. 25@l.SO in the Western msrts whence
the Eastern cities procure their supplies.
Freights are as cheap from Wheeling to
Baltimore and New York as from Chi
csgo or Toledo to those cities, so that
with wheat in this vicinity at the same
price as in the West, it can be shipped
to the Eastern markets at q profit. 1t Is
now little lower here, mainly because
there is not enough OF it here, and enough
activity in the general market, to justify
buying it for shipment.
Ofcourse, long war, should one come,
between England and Russia, would be
of immense value to the Amerl-
can wheat trade, and would go
far to keep up the prices. In fact, the
long continued embsrrsssments OF the
Russian Black Sea trade have already
given our own country what may become
permanent command of the British
bresdstutf trade. Since the traffic was
reopened with Odessa the reports say
that most of the Russian wheat has gone
to Mediterranean ports, chilly Msrseilles'
for the south of Europe. The chances
seem to be that Russian agriculture, in
default of market abroad for its wheat
which would be cut of by war with
England, would change to other crops.

CONGRESSIONAL.

A correspondent writes 70 ask the
REGIsrEE whose duty 1t is to fix the
time and place of holding the Demo
cratic Congressional Convention, for this
district, this Summer. In reply, we
Insy remark, that there wss appointed at
the last Convention committee Of ff-
teen, composed of one from each county
in the district, upon which will devolve
the duty named.
As the election of member of Cor.
gress does not take place until next No
vember we see no reason for any hsste
in calling the Convention. a long can
vsss Is not required. 1t strikes US that
the first of September is quite early
enough for the Convention. This will
give two months campaign, which is
quite as long as the voters Will probably
care to be worried. We can beat the
light weight champion of Radicslism and
contraction, a. WAsHINGToN CAMP
BILL, just as badly in sixty days as we
can in six months.
In regard to the place of holding the
next Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton, there need be little said. Demo-
cratic Wetzal asked 10 have the last
Convention held at New Msrtinsville,
and she will, no doubt, repeat the claim
this year. II the water Of the Ohio river
shall be in good boating stage at the
time, and it was so at the last Conven-
ton, we presume no reasonable objection
could be made. New Martinsville now
has good hotel accommodations, we are
informed, and the members of Conven.
ton ofthls magnitude could be we'll cared
for by the large hearted Democrats of
that place.

WE have received from Congressman
MARTIN package of seed of q new va
riety of Sorghum, which General LIE
Due, the Commissioner Of Agriculture
is anxious to have well tested in the soil
and climate of Wheeling, A specimen
OF the sugar manufactured from this va
riety, grown in Illinois, We believe, was
recently shown US, and it is of rs fine
grain and fair color rs the best quality OF
brown sugar made from the cane Of the
Southern States. We have more seed
than we need, and will be glad to divide
with sny farmer or gardner of this vi.

LIE Due Is enthusiastic in bis belief that
the culture of this cane will prove a

seem to justify his enthusiasm.

GOLD never really was any cheaper
than st present, because, before the war,
by reason OF the different State bank cur
rencies, there was almost always dis
count on bills varying from one to ten
per cent. Now the National banking
system has done away with all this, and
il is perfectly safe to say that thousand
dollars in paper currency taken at ran
dom from the money drawer would buy
more gold this week than ever before in
the history of the country.
