The Washington Star Correspond
ent, writing from the cavalry camp.
here last week. says
ClariestoEIn was reached IN the af-
ternoon. and IN spite Of the fact that
q very large number OF the inhabi-
tAnts we're absent at Lexington for
the unwilling Of the jackson monu-
ment, the reception was cordial and
enthusiastic. The streets we're lined
with people and 3 good sized proper
ton we're young ladies with more
than ordinary share Of what Corporal
Mellach calls :. bang-up prettiness.
The camp was situated on a por-
ton Of W. n. Woods property and
in every way is an ideal camping spot.
The water is first-class and the line Of
tents, with the horses standing on
picket line in front, is q thoroughly
characteristic cavalry camp, at least
so says Capt. Roe and Lieut.. Perry,
and they should know. The original
idea had been TO move on to-day to
Winchester, but owing to the rather
tired condition Of horses and men and
the pleasant surroundings which had
been struck it Was decided to lay over
here all day to-day and reach VIM.
chester tomorrow. Al skirmish drill
this morning and parade this eve
ming with q brass band has awakened
the military enthusiasm of the small
boys in CharlestoWn to an alarming
extent.
Charlestown has been an interest
ing stopping place. With its tree
lined streets and 900 inhabitants it
is interesting in itself. From a his
torical standpoint it is worth study
ing. John Brown was tried and e1-
ecuted here. The old Jail has been
torn down, but the new one stands on
the same spot as the structure in
which Brown was held. The place of
execution is pointed out. The gall
lows on which Brown was executed
stood on an open field. To-day there
is house within ten yards of the spot.
Above all CharlestoHn has a
" BOOM" As the cavalry rode in a
number of long lines of tree boxes
through vacant fields were seen and
Tinney said he felt home sick, it re-
minded him SO much of the suburbs
of Washington. The Star cores
pondent asked diminutive colored
youth where the camp was situated
and he was informed that it was on
de BOOM" A grand hotel is being
constructed and tde boom" is thought
to be moving in the right direction.
The troop owes large measure of
gratitude to Col. Chew, Mr.. Woods,
Mrs. Haines and others at Charles
town for the hospitable manner in
which they were treated. T. C. N.

home OF Henry Shepherd, Esq, was
thrown open on Friday night, the Path
instant, to q large circle of invited
guests. Special conYeyances provid-
ed by the hospitable host conveyed
there the society world of Charles
town, Maftinsburg and Shepherds
town. An elegant pavilion built on
the spacious lawn for the occasion af-
forded ample space for the deYotees
Of Terpsichore TO chase the flying
hours with twinkLing feet. The host,
with his Chesterfield sons William
and GINS Shepherd }, received the in
Yited guests after the manner of Vir-
ginia gentlemen of ye olden times.
An elegant repast was served, which
Was enjoyed by all. Prof. Jackson's
orchestra discoursed the sweetest
strains, while bright eyed maidens
melted The hardened hearts of the
gay bachelors present. who forthwith
resolved 60 turn from the errors of
their way. It was one Of those oc-
casions, pleasant memories of which
will long be cherished by those so
fortunate TO be present. Towards the
midnight hour, whom Luna smiled her
sweetest, the fair ladies' and courtly
cavaliers babe their host adieu and
returned to their various homes

Editor Murray, of the Goshen
Blade, in noting his observations on
arecent trip to.Charles Town, says:
at Charles Town we noticed the
great change that had taken place in
six short months. On the fields
where one year ago corn and wheat
were gathered, now stand the large
plants of busy industries, the Brass
Works, Harness Factory, Glove Fac
tory, Boiler Works, and other build
ings from out of which comes the
bang, bang of the busy workman,s
hammer, and the rattle Of machinery,
telling us of the prosperity of the
town, and how we'll the promoters Of
this great enterprise have worked.
We noticed when we left the train
that we were greeted with warm well
from old neighbors and friends, and
to their hearty, g Glad to see YOU
back again. we said from the bot
tom OF our heart, g thank you. -
SC Why, / am glad to see you back
again" says the kindly voice of the
editor of the Free Press, and ne fell
proud at his ELECTROMAGNETIC OF
the work of the Blade, it gives us
nerve and ambition when such veter-
ans of the press as Brother GalIaher
approves our work. Here is our old
friend Morrow, with his kind word.
Brother Haines was out when we
called, but from our old friend Bles-
sing, We received kind and warm
Glad to see you home."
6 Well, what do you think we are
doing in Charles TOWN." is the cues
ton from Mr.. Bush. Washington,
General Manager of the C. NJ, NJ.
81. Co. Our reply was honest and
without reserve: g You are doing
wonders, aud must not complain Of
hard times. Tojudge from the many
buildings you are erecting, you GER
tainly are in a furnishing condition,
and you tell me times are hard when
you pay out, six months before the
money is due, $780, II you CRY
hard times you certainly don't know
what hard times means. Look at the
condition of the other towns in Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, were you in
their condition, you might say hard
times. You demonstrate to-day, by
the large payment of money you have
paid, your aourishing condition.
Now let me say to you, support your
town papers, treat them like part OF
yourselves, they have men at the
desk who have intelligence and judg-
ment to put your affairs before the
investing world better than you can,
and rest assured by SO doing, you
will succeed in calling attention to
your fourishing condition. Try this
plan, and my word for it yeu will moi
have cause to complain of the sup.
port you give them" Here is oul
old friend Alexander, one Of the hus.
tiers of Charles Town.
g What is going on in Goshen?"
Well, we are doing all that can be
done, plenty of work for everybody,
all our industries are in a healthy
condition our real estate men earn.
est workers, never croaking, pulling
with the Improvement Company tc
make Goshen what she must be in
the future, the g Queen Industrial
City of the Mountains" Goshen is
on 4 solid footing and the man who
puts his money in Goshen, puts il
where he will make profit and gel
quick returns. If we should leave
Goshen, Charles Town is the place
for us.

excellent opportunities for investiga-
tion. In fact, the condition and
surroundings favor and almost compel
the masses to knOar. Yet, after all,
this knowledge is not thorough. 1t is
not broad enough nor deep enough. II
is more intuitive and speculative than
synthetic and analytic. A more
systematic course, leading from the
beginnings to the fluishings, is de-
manded-the causes and effect of our
national institutions.
1t is clear that conviction as result
of examination leads to intelligent ac-
ton, while action without eIamina-
ton on the part of the actor is symbol
of imbecility, and it is safe to assert
that an element of the latter sort is in
jurieus to society, and where it pre-
dominates, political stability is threat
ened.
1t is very pleasing to know that in
our colleges, academies, and in the
higher departments of our common
schools, the study of civics forms an
important part of the curriculum.
In addition to this, among the Y. NJ.
/. associations the study of govern
ment forms an important feature, thus
making it possible for all to become
acquainted with their duties as citi-
zens, and is an excellent field of prepa-
ration for intelligent thought and
action.
Young men, grasp the opportunity;
take an interest in the study; accumu-
late the wealth OF political knowledge;
be fully armed and equipped to battle
oppression and assist in perpetuating
the undying principles of our govern
ment.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

During the infancy of the Republic,
and while it was yet weak, in conse-
quence of the terrible struggles of the
revolution, strong party of influen-
tisl men, led by Hamilton, seemed to
have no confidence in the idea of state
sovereignty, and much less in the
capacity of the individual as an integ-
raj part of the nation to govern him
self, Indeed, that party went so far
as to boldly declare against the Con-
stitution as ''wishy-washy" concern
of little value. Firmly rooted in these
beliefs, they naturally exercised them
selves in favor Of strong central
government which should control
everything and everybody under its
territorial jurisdiction. In other words,
they desired to establish upon this con-
tinent something that would have
resembled monarchy in all its organic
and functional departments.
At this critical moment-a moment
dark and ominous; moment that
convulsed the country and threatened
its existence; a moment when party
leaders were intoxicated with the idea
of kingly power for themselves and
the reduction and absorption Of the
states by the Federal government
then there arose that champion of
human freedom, Thomas Jefferson,
who, with sacred devotion to his coun-
try, and with II confidence in the
ability of mar govern himself, pro-
claimed with oice of earnestness

Aroused like lion when his lair is

the political arena shouting his battle

the people, and for the people," That
cry had its effect. The people were

short period to the days of the revolu-
ton; to the sufferings and privations
of Valley Forge; to the encounters of
the Cow-peRs and Eutaw Springs; to
the heroIsm at Saratoga and the death
blow to tyranny at Yorktown. They
remembered too well the vassalage of
the colonies, the despotism of the
English monarchs-their scorns and
derisions.
Were the triumphs of the patriots to
be spurned and condemned? Was the
consecrated ground to be once more
defiled? Was the glorious fabric of
Liberty to be ground into powder and
thrown to the winds? No, never!-
and No, neverl" will be repeated to-
morrow in tones of deepest earnestness
by millions of America s truest patriots.
and among these voices will be heard
the voice of Utah rising on the wings
of the morning breeze and shouting,

CIVIL GOVERNMENT.

That there is a growing necessity
for more thorough study of civics is
undeniable. Matters political are grow
ing more complex, parties are increas-
ing in number or are developing new
ideas and presenting new measures.
Probably in all the land, the same
number from among so many various
nationalities can not be found who are
80 well posted in governmental mat
ters as the people Of Utah. Those
from other lands-save very few,
have made intelligent contrasts be-
tween the laws and political principles
of their former homes and that of the
present, and because of these compar-
isons their knowledge is made more
definite and durable.
Another cause for the high standard
OF political intelligence found in Utah
is the constant agitation between the
prominent political local parties.
which necessarily leads the people to
investigate; and the discrimination
that follows leads the mind to con-
clusion as to which party is the nearer
approach to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution.
1t is not meant by this that the peo
pie generally have delved deeply and
analytically into the various details
the essential elements-of our govern
ment. Rather, they have accepted its
principles-its make up-because of
their apparent superiority as compared
with those of others. In consequence
Of this knowledge, which the people
possess, and their lofty desires to do
right, the Territory as a whole is an
example of thrift, economy and 10y
atty.
Again, the numerous countries,
cities, towns and precincts, also the
very many companies, partnerships
and corporations found here, afford
