s'The later development Of the Repub.
lican paity's deliberate intentlto destroy
the republic are alarming. The best illus
tration OF the object OF special deputy
United States Marshals was furnished at
St. Louis where three Democratic dis
tricts were carried for the Republicans
BY the aid of thousand deputy Marshals,
who swore before committee Of inves-
tigation that the only Instructions they
received were that the election must be
carried for the Republican party. The
political outrage in New York and
Philadelphia arefurtber instances OF the
design OF these special Marshals."
"The tendency OF the Republican par
ty to break up the republic, said Gener-
al Morgan, cannot be too pefsistently
kept before the people by Democratic
editors and speakers. The voters can
not be too thoroughly aroused to the
dangers which threaten civil liberty. !

FROM WEST VIRGINIA,

RocKPoRT, W. Va, July Is, 1879.
ED. SPIRIT: As there are great many
people in this county from Old Monroe,
who have many relatives and friends lef,
behind, we thought it might be pleas
are to them to read letter from US
through the columns Of the Old SPIRIT
By your permission we propose to write
them few lines through this medium.
Although it has been good while
since some OF Us have visited the old
county, yet we have not forgotten you,
We often think Of you and would like
to see you and enjoy friendly converse
about the things that are past, about the
enjoyments Of the present,and our hopes
in the future. but we have no desire to
return to make that county our homs
again. We have no idea that this is the
garden spot of the acorld by a long dis
lance, but aoe do kno,o that it is a good
| place to tive. .as we are blessed with good
rich land and good society.
| The land of this section is limestone
soil of the best qualty,and not a bastard
limestone as some have gone back and
reported. 1t seems that the land viii
produce any kind of grain or plants tha,
we try to raise. This country is destined
We think, in the near future to be one O.
the leading portions Of the Union And
we think that you could mol do bette
than locate among US and procure homes
while land is cheap and improve them to
suit your different tastes. You probably
would do better to locate here than to
remove to the far west, and run the risk
of doing better and being suited better in
/ a country subject TO fearful storms and
ague and scourged With grasshoppers,
etc., as portions Of the west is. There
is no healthier country than this that We
know of this side OF California or Ore
gon.
We raise all kinds OF fruit usually pro-
duced in temperate regions. and there is
an immense quantity Of young trees
planted every year. Progress is making
rapid strides in every department Of i'm
provement. The wheat crop. was good
this year With the exception that it was
thin on the ground but unusually large
heads, so that it will turn out we'll; there
was large amount sowed last fall. The
corn never looked better, although not
large for the time in the year. Farmers
had 3 terrible time getting their corn to
come up on account OF defective seed
and backwardness Of the Spring. I Sc
lected my seed corn last fall as the corn
was gathered and laid it up over the fire
on the loft, I planted about the middle
ot May and never saw corn come up
better.
We have good society," the greater part
Of the people protesting religion. Many
church houses OF the various denomina-
tions have been erected within the last
ten years. We have good schools in
most parts OF the county, four months
in the year. Teachers are paid from $40
to $35 per month, according to grade OF
certificate,
But must close, for this letter il, grow
ing to greater length than we intended
already. But word about tobacco ::
small crop planted; cause, failure Of
plants. 80 I'll
Mr.. Editor, II you think this worthy
place in your columns please publish.
and we will write you again some time.

She was member of the M. E.
Church at Greenbrier,; was about 26
years, old; was sick about ten hours, du-
ring which time her sufferings were
great. For short time before her death
she was unconscious, but the last words
spoken by her while in conscious state
was prayer to God. She was woman
known only to be loved, always having
been praying and Bible reading char
acter. She lived and died just as such
persons do, She leaves husband and

friends to mourn her loss. Her remains
were followed to the place OF interment

R The proceedings Of the Leaf To-
bacco Association at Bsrnesville on the
Oath inst, are important to dealers and
growers. The reports show that the
growing crop will not produce one-half
as much as that of last year.
The suggestion that growers pay more
attention to air curing their tobacco is a
good one, Air cured, in good condition,
sells at from $40 to sl6 per hundred,
while fired tobacco rates from So to sc
30 per hundred, BY air curing one half
of the present short crop, growers would
realize handsome profit on their fired
tobacco. A certain amount OF fred to-
bacco is required by foreign dealers each
year, and if the amount produced does
not exceed the demand, aud it will not
this year, growers aud dealaas will be
able to fix fair price and Eastern deal
ers will be compelled to pay it. Air
cured tobacco finds a good market at
Cincinnati.
