The Future Of Harper's Ferry

A dispatch from IIarpcr's Ferry,
W. Va, to the Philadelphia Press,
saws: The syndicate of Eastern
capitalists WHICH some time ago pur-
chased the old government arsenal
and armory PROPERTY at this point,
made famous by thu John'BrOwn raid.
is pushing preparations with all pos
sible dispatch to the end that the i'm
provement OF the PROPERTY may COM
mence early in spring james ID.
Butt. attorney for the syndicate, who
is on the ground, said: l predict
that within five years from this time
the sleepy old town of liarp'r's Fer
nv will be 4 busting city of so, 900
inhabitants, with industries as .xtcn-
sive as those of Wheeling, Pittssurg
and other manufacturing centres
The magnificent water power III tie
Potomac and Shenandoah which form
erly furnished the motive power fol
the government, is estimated at from
60. 900 to $4,000 horse power. No
where else in the country, except a
Niagara Falls, can such vast power
he put to work at so small cost, anc
with the millions at our command We
hope to turn out manufactured ar
ticles. from watches to railroad rails
much cheaper than can now be done
elsewhere, even with the new fuel

factory about July /, and others a:

Within a short time past the safety
of the floor of Washington Hall has
been somewhat questioned, in con-
sequence of the heavy vibrations of
the same during the progress of the
dances that have been given there
We hardly think the building can be
unsafe in this particular, and indeed
have mechanics opinion that it is
not. But be that as it may, there is
another matter about which there can
be no question, and that is that the
means of egress from the hall, in case
of panic or alarm of any sort, are
not sufficient. With such a crowd as
that present on last Tuesday night, if
there had been an alarm of any kind
sufficient to produce 4 panic, the re-
suit could only have been q fearful
loss of life and limb, and 4 shroud-
ing of our town in gloom of uni
versal sorrow. The only exit from
the hall is from one side, by wind
ing stairway, and thence into corner
which in jam would prove 4 natural
pen-the outer door not even being
opposite the foot Of the stairway
There should at least be a commodiOus
exit from the rear of the stage over
to the Watson House, the present exit
very much enlarged and improved,
and if advisable yet another added to
some other portion of the building.
These are questions for the serious
consideration of our corporate au-
thorities. Like Banquo's ghost, they
will not down, but must be met and
answered-or the public demands will
60 UNDECIDED, and the result at some
time prove an appalling calamity.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
To our Country Patrons.

We believe that a little con-
fdental talk with our Friends
and Patrons at this time, will
do more good than any amount
of advertising we could posi-
bly, put in this space.
To a few of you our house is
probably unknown, and we de-
sire to become acquainted, and
propose to introduce ourselves
without ceremony. We are
the firm of WOODWARD and
.LOTHROP, of Washington,
d. c., better known in that
City as the Boston Dry Goods
House." and we herewith sub
NIT the fundamental principles
upon which we do business,
which are the secrets of our
success.
We do not believe in sensa-
tional advertising, nor do we
believe in coaxing trade with
Chromos, Watches, Toys, Sill
verware, or other sham devices,
as it stands to reason we would
have to make you pay for them
in some manner, but believe in
doing business entirely upon
its merits.

The Old and the New.

g: The King is dead. Long live the
King!" Such is the proclamation,
and as quick the transition in mon
a-chicaI countries on the death of q
sovereign and the elevation of his sue
cessor on the throne. The year 1850
is dead-long live the year 1880!
The old is gone-gone with the re-
turnless past. The new has come IN
and we welcome its advent in the flight
of time. The rsisu of the old, though
autOcratic in fact, was varied in eN-
pcricnce and rcsults-was genial ana
blessed, beneicent and lIind--and we
note our sorrows as well rs our joys
among its memories. RequieScdt IN

An Ancient Document.

We were pleased, a few days ago,
to receive call from our venerable
countyman DIR. NJ. p. Nelson, of Mid
dleway, now in his seth year, and as
yet quite hale and hearty. Whilst
here the Doctor afforded us an OPP
portunity of examining an ancient
paper which had recently come into
his possession-being communica-
ton from his grandfather, Thomas
Nelson, then Governor of Virginia, to
Col. Swearingen of Berkeley county,
asking for men to aid in driving Lord
CORVALLIS from lower Virginia,
through which his army was then
marching and committing numberless
depredations. Below we give our
readers a copy of the letter, as taken
from the original in the hands of DR..
Nelson:
CANT, June 9th, 1871.
Sir
The distress of the inhabitants OF
the lower part of the country, occa-
stoned by the ravages of the enemy,
which it is not in our power to pre-
vent with the army we have at pres
ent in the field, call loudly for assist
ance from every part of the State
If speedy and vigorous methods are
not adopted, to check the violences
committed upon all who are within
their reach, l fear the consequences
will be fatal, not only to this State
but to the American cause. Let me
entreat YOU, rs you regard the indie
pcndency of America. TO make the ut
most exertions TO send from your
county every man who has n rifle or a
gun to join the army. BY mounting
these men on horses, (Which You are
hereby empowered to IMPRESS their
march would be greatly expedited.
and their fatigue considerably les
soned, which would enable them to go
into action Immediately on their ar
rival in camp. To add one word more
on this subject would be to impcach
your patriotism. ] shall, therefore,
take my leave of you by assuring you
that
l am, Sir,
Your most ob't scrv't,
THos. NELSON, B. S.
p. ST would advise you to send
with the men as many days provision
as they can bring.

County Lieut.. of Berkeley.

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis has
been interviewed, and declares that
he is not a candidate for the United

more agreeable than politics; is en-
gagged in numbering, mining and

Baltimore & Ohio and the Chesapeake

a success of these enterprises.
