rnE KANAMHA vALLRY.

Thirty-seven miles east OF Huntington
the road strikes the Big Kanawha River,
out Of which large amounts of coal, lum.
Der, hoop poles, salt and other products OF
the valley are taken. The road runs along
this stream through the great Kanawha
valley TO the head waters, when It runs
up the New River. The valley has quite
an interesting history, aud from It we
learn the name "Kanawha" in the In
dian means ..riyer Of the woods" pro.
baby so called from the magnificent
timber Of this district, OF which
portion still remains. The valley
OF the Great Kanawha from the
falls to the Ohio River Is one Of posi-
dive beauty. Hills with irregular crests,
averaging in height 200 feet above the
stream enclose this valley with. every
changing and very graceful outlines. Be-
tween the well wooded slopes Of these
hills is spread in pleasing contrast, q
fertile river bottom never less than one
half mile in width aud frequently much
greater. At Point Pleasant, where the
Eanawha river enters the Ohio, was
fought (l774,) the desperate battle which
decided the white supremacy Of the Ohio
-the colonial forces, commanded by An
drew Lewis, aud the Indian by their
chief, Cornplanter. Indian relics abound
in the valley, reminding US it was one o.
their fayorite resting places-and well
worth death struggle.

CHARLESTON.

Fiity.two miles east Of Huntington, on
the opposite side of the Kanawha river
from the depot, is pleasantly located this
city OF about 5000 inhabitants,
which BY late vote Of the people Is TO

was fora year or 80 located here, and o
fne substantial building was erected for
the officers OF State and Legislature, but
after some agitation II was removed to
Wheeling, where another large State
building was erected. The question was
finally submitted TO vote OF the people
for settlement, and Charleston won.

THE TYR1NT DAVENPORT

1t will perhaps DO remembered by the careful
reader of the debates of the present remarkable
Congress ut its first OF called session, that Mr..
Fernando Wood, of this city, opened the ball
with n furious onslaught upon Mr.. John |.
Davenport, Chief Supervisor of elections. Mr..
Davenport was represented IS q tyTant and a
despot who had been clothed by law of Con-
gress wi arbitrary power to arrest summarily
without process and incarCerNte in lOath-
some dungeons, without trial, any Democrat
found roaming the streets at large on election
day. 1t was said that he had used this power to
its fullest extent, to the great distress of hun
dreds of earnest patriots who were only DESTROYS
to make the most of their privileges as freemen,
and to the intimidation of $4,000 or more
honest Democrats who went to the polls
with feal and trembling, and with their
heads over their shoulders on a constant look
out for the mniOns Of the tyrant Many persons
whose only offence was a desire to vote tho
Democratic ticket without complying with the
preliminary forms required by law, Or having
complied with those requirements, to make the
most of their opportunities by frequent voting,
had been thrown into prison pens where the
associations were as bad and the air rs I'M
wholesome as in a crowded Democratic Con-
venticn; and many others had fled in terror
from the face Of the OppIessOr to the Businesses
of HOboken and jersey City.
Other Democratic orators joined in the cry,
and it was represented that the diabOlsm Of
Davenport, as carried on under the provisions
of the election law, was not only depOpulating
the metropolis Of It's most active voters, bat
was undermining free institutions and making
q farce of our republican form. of Government.
Throughout both branches of Congress there
was among Democratic Representatives and
Senators deep sense Of Indignation. 1t was
known that before the passage Of the law cloth

power, this city, under the benefcent rule Of
Democrats who were too patriotic TO discourage
their associates from the practice Of voting

seem to require. Voting In Democratic districts
was free and dnObstructed. No Democrat who
In the fulness Of his love Of country desired to
vote on another mans name, or put in several
votes In his own, was hndered in that gracious
purpose by the interference Of a minion Of
Federal tyranny. There was nothing small or
mean in the Democratic disposition to vote,

the count. And If it ever did happen that In
