TIE friends Of the Buchsnnon &

~, are growing more confident
every day that they will succeed in
obtaining favorable vote to q
subscription Of $4,000, on the part
Of the county, 10 the capital stocl;
Of the company; and VIC have The
further assurance that If the county
subscrilcs this amount, the neces'
sary balance to insure the conf
p!ction Of the road can be raised.
We understand ii is reported in
Gpshur that Mr.. Henry Brannon
is opposed to this enterprise, and
wrote letters to some parties in
Gpshur advising them to vote
against the subscription. This re,
port is untrue, and does Mr.. Bran,
non injustice. We know that he
is favorable 10 the building Of this
road, and is willing to render the
enterprise material aid so fur us he
lis able.

The practical questions otthe campaign
are strongly presented by the New York
Public as follows:
"Ihe country has reached a condition OF
great prosperity. Yet We are told that a
change Is most desirable. For the politi-
clans who happen at present out Of office,
perhaps tits, but what reason is there for
beIIeying that change would promote
the business aud industrial prosperity? Is
there mot great reason to fear, on the con-
trary, that change Of parties would dis
tnrb confidence. disorder industry, check
the development OF resources, lessen the
actiylty aud the rewsrds of trade. and
diminish the employment or the wages Of
labor? These are not questions to be dis,
cussed in partisan spirit. OF that sort Of
discussion there has been thousand
times more than enough. They are sertoui
practical questions, which affect the re-
sources and prospects. the means and the
profits, OF every industrious or sntetpris'
Ing man in the country"

dice and hate in bis party. He went u
Fairmont 10 make votes for himself a
Martinsburg and he succeeded. Hisspeect
was afterwards spoken OF as one that had
told in bis favor among the delegates. he
now finds that what was good for nomi'
nation may not be SO good for an election,
and be wants to back out at the expense
OF truth. This he cannot succeed in doing,
as the testimony Is too direct and over
whelming against him.
There is no doubt that Jackson hates the
Republican party. He was yeller for
JEFF Davis during the wal, and got into the
Atheneum here for yelling for him on our
streets early in the rebellion. He hated
the Republican party then and has hated
1t ever since, as he himself boldly pro-
claimed at Fairmont. And he intends to
teach his children to hate 1t.
Such man Is not fit to rule over
State where a very large minority
Of the people hold the faith that
he proclaims undying hate for. A man
who comes into office filed with such a
sentiment Is incapable Of doing justice to
tens OF thousands OF his fellow citizens,
and his selection is a declaration oi enmity
and war against their right to be heard or
represented in his Gubernatorial policy.
More than this, it is notice to the people
OF the North that this is no State for Re.
publicans TO seek homes in, inasmuch as
their principles are held in contempt and
halyed by the Chief Magistrate OF the
Commonwealth. The people of the
North will ask themselves this question,
What must be the enmities and prejudices
Of the people OF West Virginia towards
US when they elect such man for their
Governor2
The State Of Kentuky did herself infinite
harm when she elected that man Black
burn Governor, after his proclaimed con-
nection with the plot to spread the yellow
fever during the war among the. people OF
the North. In lesser degree We may ex-
pect the same feeling to be aroused against
this State when we deliberately select as
our chief magistratea man who proclaims
in advance his eternal hatred for the po.
litical principles of the people who are so
greatly needed in our territory. What can
we expect but that ali people who respect
freedom of opinion will avoid such State.
II we are Bourbons enough to elect such
a Bourbon Governor we may as well pre-
pare ourselves for the consequences.

To Bls EtlitOr of du Nar York Times:
As you have taken much interest in the
CORRECTION Of the decree pHrporipg TO
come from Justice Swayne, OF the supreme
Court. condemnatory OF General Garfield,
I desire to furnish you with the closing
chapter. In the columns OF the New
York World, Of the l2th inst, Mr.. Hurl'
bert announces his intention 10 hold his
Especial correspondent" responsible for
the inaccuracies. This he has done by
declining TO see me, although he knew
that was in New York, especially
in ACCORDANCE with his instruction 70 pro
ceed to Philadelphia aud ASCERTAIN the
exact truth, which | certainly did 70 the
satisfaction Of every one. This act, IN
INV opinion, terminated my connection
with the World, and ] have to-day so notl'
fed Mr.. Hurlbert. In this act, refusing
10 see me, he was as unkind and pngen
tlemauly as he Was unwise. Because
while might have been willing to assume
such responsibility as would arise from
even causing, uuintentionslly, the wider
promulgation OF the error, and to that eH-
tent relieving the paper with which was
connected from responsibility, he should
have comprehended that could not dc
him that service, and at the same time
submit to ungentlemanly and unluE
treatment.
The facts are that the communication

necessary, II is not surprising that !, com

&c TO strike this out, and attribute to me
asa World correspondent, the information

in conclusion, will say that, In sup

ed with the grossest injustice, and ha
attempted to shit a responsibility on N.
shoulders which belongs solely TO himsel
It was at my own request that was sen
