Personal Mention.

The Wheeling Register gives a
sketch of rising young men in West
Virginia politics, from which we
extract the following:
The Faulkner boys are another
band of brothers who are away above
the horizon. They come of good
stock for politicians, and they do no
discredit to their origin. Boyd Faull1-
ner, who is not much over forty-fve
years of age. is regarded as about the
most promising man in the State. A
very fine lawyer, an experienced
legislator of great natural ability, and
most thoroughly accomplished in all
branches of polite learning, he is fit
ted to adorn any position. An APP
parent cold reserve conveys the false
impression of hautcur. and so he is
commonly ranked as an a1istocrat.
The fact is that when we'll known
he is most genial and amiable, and
thoroughly in sympathy with the mass
of his fellow creatures. His public
services in the Legislature of this
State show that his abilities are always
to be respected. And then he is a
fine worker, and always on the alert.
His brother, Charlie, who is younger
by several years, has an easy frank
way about him that makes him APP
proachable and with the average
young folks of the day, moro popular.
Although he makes Il capital judge,
some people say that he and Boyd
ought to exchange positions, as the
latter possesses more of the judicial
dignity, while Charlie is just the fell
low to go with the boys. lie is bright,
intelligent, generous, and just to
make the matter short, capital good
fellow. He will be apt to remain on
the bench in the Circuit just as long
as he feels inclined to do so. The
friends of Boyd Faulkner say that if
he is successful in his aspirations for
the gubcrnatorial nomination, he will
make rafting canvass and will make
a Governor ofwhom the people of the
State will feel proud.
G. L. Cross, of jefferson, hasn't
much political ambition, but when it
comes down to good clectioncering he
is right along with the best of them.
He is capital good fellow and true
as steel to his friends.

TIE FATE OF CHARLIE Ross.-In-
terest in the fate of the little boy
Charlie Ross, who was so mystcriously
stolen from Philadelphia nine years
ago, has been partially revived by the
publication of the discovery of two
letters among the effects of the late
Captain William r.. Helms which
point strongly to the fact of the boy
having been murdered by his abduc-
tors. Captain Helms was chief of the
department at the time of the akduc-
ton. Among his effects have just
been found two letters, which it is
claimed have never been made public,
and of which Mr.. Ross, the father of
the boy, is said to have been kept in
ignorance. The letters are written
in scrawIing hand, and are dated
November p and "a, 1874. They
start out by saying that critical
point had arrived, and that unless the
$4,000 demanded should be paid by
day fixed the matter would be set
tied, and ended with 4 threat, Gun
less you meet us in New York on Tues
day, November "a, 1874, this bust
ness will be over forever" The de-
mand was not complied with, and no
one ever heard of the missing boy
aftcrward, and these give probably
the only hint ever received as to his
fate

WINCHESTER AND VICINITY

We learn through a gentleman from
Clarke county, that Mr.. Frank vii.
son, who is the tenant of VIM. r. AL
eXander, Esq, Con his farm near the
Shenandoah river), lost during the
early part of last week, six fine horses
by poisoning. Some ticnd in human
shape had thrown what was supposed
to be strychnine around in the field
where the horses were, with the above
result. lie has only one horse left,
and it is sick, and will probably die,
thus dcpriving a worthy and respect
able farmer of his means of making
a crop of wheat.

Some five or six persons from Along
the Blue Ridge mountain, in this
county, we understand, were recent
ly arrested and taken to Clarksburg
by Deputy Z. s. Marshal Slower, on
charge of violation of the internal
revenue law. These, from what we
learn, were very slight, and it does
seem rather rough to single out two
or three poor fellows who have, per-
haps, sold a drink of liquor without
paying tribute to Uncle Sam, AID
drag them Hundreds of miles from
home, where they have no oppor-
tunity to offer q defence by bringing
forward witnesses in their behalf. -
The Deputy Marshal may be doing
his exact duty according to the letter
of the law, but if its spirit sanctions
such rank injustice, there is some
thing radically wrong somewhere, and
what that wrong is our Congressman,
we understand, means to fcrrit out.

of that on what they export. 1t fol.
lows, therefore, that the people of ON.
tario lose at least forty per cent. of the

From these facts the writer con.
structs an unanswerable argument in
favor of merging the Dominion in the
Union. 1t is believed that, whenever
the Canadians shall manifest a desire
for annexation, the British government
will interpose no serious objection.
The present connection between Cana.
da and the home government is little
more than nominal, and there has been
no intimation from Great Britain that
annexation will be opposed.

That Republican Address.

The recent address Of the National
Union League, rehearsing the sublime
virtues of the Republican party, is
meeting the ridioule il justly deserves
at the hands Of the Democratic papers.
Its bombastic utterances are not only
false, but in the light of the history
which that party has made for itself,
broadly ridiculous. THE Republican
party stands to-day the champion and
protector OF free ballot and pure elec.
