In hisremarks al the Bellaire railroad
meeting the other day, Gen. WARNER
Is reported rs saying:
In regard to ISIS 1t Of no consequence to
have the road on this side of the riyerY'
Don't you recognize that it will be means
of preventing our trade from going over to
West Virginia? Let the road go up through
West Virginia, and all of our trade will go
that way. Both roads won't be built Ii
the W., p. & c. road is built ii will control
both sides of the river; reverse that and we
have it II the w, p. & c. road IS built 1t
will be equivalent to annexing to that State
all our river counties for commercial pur-
poses, and rice versa.
There ia a good deal of truth in these
views as expressed by Gen. WARNER,
but if they are to be taken as exactly ac-
eurate he has probably given his case
away. When he says that "both roads
won't be built we opine that he has
entirely disposed of the project on the
Ohio side of the river. The w. P. & c.
will be under contract in less than go
DAYS, and if Gen. WARSER is to be
taken for what he says, that ends the
Ohio road. But we differ with him in
the opinion that road may not be
built on each side of the river. When
our road is built the Ohio side will have
to build their road in self-defense.

INCREASE IN THE RAILROAD MILE
AGE OF WEST VIRGINIA.

The Buckhannon branch of the Wes-
ton railroad will probably be completed
and the trains running between those
points some time next fall. There are
only sixteen miles of road to be built,
and with proper energy there is an
abundance of time to finish it this sum-
mer.
The Wheeling, Parkersburg and
Charleston road will be put under con-
tract, probably some time next month,
and the work of construction will begin
at once. There isa fair probability that
the main part Of the line between
Wheeling and Parkersburg will be
built before next winter. The grades
are easy, there are no tunnels to be cut,
no great bridges to BE- made, and if suf-
fieient working force can be procured
the iron may be laid this season.
These two roads are quite certain to
add to the real railroad mileage of the
State this year. Also the West Vir-
ginia Central will be still further ex-
tended up into the mountains.
There are quite number of other
projects ineubating in different sections
ofthe State that may possibly hatch out
few miles more during the year. ThGe
is a project in Preston county between
Kingwood and the B. i .. road; the
project agitated in Harrison, Marion and
MOnongalia counties from the Pennsyl-
wanna line to Harrison; the Grafton and
Greenbrier project, which promises well
between Grafton and PhiIippi; beside .
number of roads in the Southern end Of
the State, reaching through the Kama
wha region to the Ohio river.
Thus it will appear that our railroad
enterprises for this year are not to be
confined exclusively to paper. We are
gradually getting out of the woods.
Railroad talk is turning to railroad work /;
counting outside capital is changed to a
policy Of putting up our own stakes; we
have quit begging and gone to helping
ourselves, and with this policy fairly
under way we will 6e able to add con-
siderable to the railroad mileage of the
State i'm the next few years.

GAZETTE AND ADVERTISER.

Wednesdays Gazette says, "The
city is full of lcprosy." Thursdays
Adoertiser makes the following COM
ment, "This was a nice statement
for the pretentious organ of planters
to send alb. Dad by the steamer de-
parting yesterday. How many
visitors, and how much capital will
such statements attract to our
shores?" Truly, the Gdzette has
made a, startling assertion. But is
the statement right OF is it wrong?
Is it true or is it false? If it is false,
the Gazette is guilty of q great crime
and deserves heavy penalty. If it
is true, the Gazette exercises its
right and performs its duty by re-
cording the truth. The 1dcertiser
pronounces it to be 4 ''nice state
ment," but makes no attempt to dis
prove it; does not even deny it.
This we take to be tacit admission
of its truthfulness. Besides, we
have the testimony of obselvant
men, OF clerSymen, ana OF physl-
clans that the Gazette has simply
told the naked truth. To be sure,
it is not pleasant truth, and GER
tainly cannot have tendency to
''attract" either "visitors" or
"capitaP' to the country. But what
would our daily contemporary desire
his weekly brother to do in the mat
ter? TO initiate bad example and
prevaricate, misrepresent, and lie?
70 say that ''the city is free of
leprosy," and seek to "attract
visitors and capital to our shores"
by false representations? Or would
he counsel mute acquiescence in the
existing order of things, letting the
foul malady run its course unchecll-
3 ed, until every man, woman, and
child in the Kingdom has caught the
contagion? Perhaps so. The fact
is, the Gazette strikes vulnerable
part of the present administration,
and the Adcertiscr, being conscious
of it, feels annoyed.

WELLS, MUSIC STORE.

Early this week Mr.. Wells an
nounced by means of elegantly
colorcd invitation cards that he
would open his new goods for the
holidays on Wednesday. Accepting
his invitation we stepped in to view
the charming and novel display.
Mr.. Wells is comparatively speak
ing, new conner in the town but he
has managed, by industry and per-
severance, to build up large busi
ness. He is continually adding to
the variety of his stock by going in
for new lines and during the past
six months has had to increase the
size of his establishment by renting
second store. All these facts r,arc
well-known to our readers so that we
may proceed, without further delay,
to the object of our visit-the new
goods. b.,
Entering the door of the makai
store the first thing that strikes
the eye is large glass case, oc-
cupying the centre of the room, and
running almost the whole length of
the store. This is filled with musi-
cal Instruments of various kinds,
chiefly strinsed. On the right hand
side is an elegant suite of willow
furniture in ebony and gold. The
chaste and light appearance of this
is enhar ced to the eye by the insel'-
ton of bands of crimson satin ribbon
inter-laced among the willows.
Other articles of furniture contri-
buting to ease or ornament stand
around. On the opposite side Of
the showcase is displayed the fine
assortment of pianos which this
house is noted for. AT the rear'of
this room is a small toy-piano, on
which tunes can be played and
resembling in outward appearance
the best of its larger contreres. Be-
hind this showroom is an elegantly
furnished office and also q work
room.
In the mauka store is arranged
the artistic portion of the new goods.
Here the arrangement of the goods
is such as to strike the eye with II
sense OF beauty and profusion.
There are 80 many articles that the
beholder fails to observe many of
them in a single coup docH. We
select few from amongst the most
prominent. Some statuettes in terra
