Grafton Eagle.
The meeting of the Press Association
at Wheeling last week was the largest
and the most harmonious session ever
held in the State. The newspaper men,
the State and city officials and the bust
ness men of that city We'd with one an
other 10 make the visit of the country
journalists both pleasant and protita-
bile. The impressions left upon our mind
from that visit convince us that no city
in the Union, large or small, contains SO
many public spirited business men, sc
many clever bubble officials and 50 many
whole-sOuled journalists.

THE REGISTER.
An Enterprising and Valuable
Paper.

The REGISTER has a telephone COM
pleted to Bellaire. 1t is the most en-
terprising newspaper in the State
Wetzd Democrat.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bro.
Baker refuses to trust the political fu-
ture of this county in our hands, we
must say that the REGISTER is improving
all the time-so much SO in fact that
there is not much more room for i'm
provement. Let we'uns manage affairs
down here, associate with country edi-
tors whenever you have an opportunity,
and make the REGISTER as good all the
time as now and we have hopes OF you,
if you are Bourbon. - Wetzet County
Messenger.
That enterprising paper, the Wheel
ing REGISTER, has established branch
office in Bellaire, and united by tele-
phone with the main office. Ed. O..
Ludwig, a splendid newspaper man, has
charge of the Bellaire office, and the
REGISTER contains every morning all the
Bellaire news up to the hour of going to
press. The REGISTER has become the
great ne,CS paper of West Virginia.

Praying Southern Generals.

Philadelphia Times: Col. z. w.
Alexander, who as "P. w. A" was
the best known Of Southern cores
pondents, lately gave me a reminis
cence of General Longstreet. He
says that the night before the battle
of the Wilderness he slept in the
same room as the General. After
he had gone to bed General Long
street came in. He undressed
and then kneeled by the bedside
and engaged in a most devout
PRAYER. While his words were not
audible, it could be seen that he was
very much affected-was literally
"wrestling in prayer" He remained
on his knees for a full hour. Col.
Alexander watching him by the star
light that crept IN through an open
window. BY the way, it is notable
fact that the South, lavish, reckless
imperious in all her ways, sent her
armies to the field under the leader
ship of God praying and God-fear-
ing men, while the decorous and
straight-laced North did no such
thing. 1t may be said that the land
of sentiment believed in prayer,
while the land of cold reason put
its trust in artillery and preferred
that its leaders should look to the
condition of its troops rather than
ind alge in petitions to the divine
Arbiter, that after all, is said to give
victory to the side having the most
men and heaviest guns. Lee, Jack
son and Longstreet were men OF
prayer in the fullest sense of the
word. Bragg was baptized in the
presence of his army. Ewell became
a devout Christian. Albert Sidney
johnson never went into a battle
without going down on his knees to
the Lord of hosts. Gordon was a
devout and prayer loving man.
Neither General Grant, nor Sher-
man, nor Sheridan, nor Butler-but
then it is important to look after
the artillery.
