First Grand Lot Sale
0fNe Charles 1o,on Mining, Mane-
facturtng and Improvement Co.

Thursday and Friday, May 18th
and 18th, as noted in our issue of last
week, are the dates of the First Great
Land Sale of the G. NJ, M. & I. Co.
Wednesday, May 18th, the day prior
to the Sale, is the date of the distri-
button of Lots to the stockholders
This Sale will undoubtedly be sue
cess, and Charles Town will at last
be launched upon the sea of CONNER
cial enterprise with flying colors and
popular enthusiasm. The community
joins with the hundreds of stock
holders all over the United States in
praising the mastery way in which
the Improvement Company haecon-
Quoted its preparations for the
"boom." The reward will soon be
repaid. No promises have been I'M
fulfilled; the coolest judgment has
been combined with the most ener-
getic push; neither time nor money
have been misspent since the incep-
ton of the enterprise. Our readers
are well acquainted with the fact that
the Brass and Iron Works are and
have been for some time running a
large force of hands to which they
are constantly adding. The Brick
and Tile Company is making daily
great quantities of superior brick
The Harness and Glove Factories are
well on their way towards completion,
and other industries will shortly be
started-all on the Company's prop
erty. When the thousands of peo-
pie roll in to the sale, they will find
the northern addition TO the town
dotted over its whole extent with
buildings, some finished and others
well under way, varying in their
styles from the stately beauty of the
Hotel Powhatan" and the Offices of
the G. NJ, NJ. & I. Co., to the more
modest but none the less attractive
dwellings erected by the Construc-
ton Companies. Why not have a
large city in a few years? Iron ore
of the best quality is in copious
abundance in our midst. Coke is
cheap and easily reached from three
competing fields. Timber, Wool and
Tanbark are to be had at out doors
at prices to put us in competition
with the world. Through the manu-
featuring reservations of the Com
pany a Belt Railway has been graded.
On. it freight cars can be loaded for
either the Baltimore and Ohio or Nor
folk and Western railroads, and by
these two great arteries of commerce
carry out varied products to every
market. This one fact is certain
No other place is, more fayorably sit
uated for commanding both Northern
and Southern trade than. Charles
Town. A glance at railway map
will make this plain. These are some
of our advantages. 1t now seems
certain that they will be utilized to
their fullest extent.

Protect Your Health,

Cold and moisture combined have a torporis-
ing effect upon the bodily organs. aud the di-
gestive and secrctive processes are apt to be
more tardily performed in winter than in the
fall. The same is true, also, of the excretory
functions. The bowels are often sluggish, and
the pores of the skin throw off but little waste
matter at this season. The system. therefore
requires opening up little, and also purifying
and regulating, and the safest. surest ahd most
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Persons who wish to escape the rheu-
matte twingcs. the dyspeptic agonies. the pain
tul disturbances of the bowels, the bilious at
at this time of the year. will do well to rein
force their systems with this renowned vegeta-
Die stomachtc and invigorant Itimproves the
spirits, aud renovates the whole physique.

we are informed by Forrest W.
Brown, ESQ.,, who returned from
Washington last week, and who has,
in conjunction with Ex-Gov. Wilson
OF this State, been engaged in the
prosecution of the matter of the re-
turn of the direct tax collected bv
the o. S. Government from the va
rious States under an act passed by
Congress August 9Th, 1861-that he
apprehends but little difficulty in hav-
ing the proper drafts for the money
issued in short time. The right to
Offset the amount due West Virginia
under the act of Congress passed at
the last session, by debt due from
Virginia to the U. S. Government, has
neither equity or law in its favor. 1t
is believed that no court would for an
instance entertain such proposition.
1t is further asserted that the officers
OF the o. S. Treasury Department. do
not entertain an opinion that such can
NC uone, put prefer that the legal de-
Rartment of the Government shall
pass its opinion upon the, question,
therefore referred it to, the ATTORNEY
General, who is to hear the matter on
the 9Th day of May next. Mr. Brown
says that whatever may be the views
of that department, it cannot be in
tended or decided that the amounts
coming to private individuals can be
withheld, and as it was only collected
from the citizens of Berkeley and JEFF
ferson, there can be no question. about
TINS state receiving what is due to
tnem: Mr. Brown has been actively
engaged IN this matter for the last
the legislation on the subject both IN
Congress and in the Legislature Of
West Virginia. -

Tobacco Seed for Farmers.

We are informed by Mr.. Washing
ton that the G. NJ. NJ. & I. Co. has
at its Office quantity of the best
quality of tobacco seed, sent by a
Lancaster county (Pa.) gentleman
a member of the Board of Directors.
1t is for free distribution among such
of our farmers as desire to expert
ment in tobacco culture, and requests
for it addressed to S. Lee Phillips,
will have prompt response. 1t is af-
firmed that our lands and climate are
peculiarly adapted to the culture of
the best grades of tobacco, and it
would in the judgment of those ia
miliar with tobacco growing and man.
ufacture, be a profitable pursuit and
add untold wealth to our posses
sions. Gentlemen of means have in
dictated purpose to open a Tobacco
Exchange here, and perhaps, go into
the industry otherwise if sufficient
number of farmers are willing to de-
vote some of their acres to tobacco
planting.

The St. LOUIS Republic never waits to
be driven along the path of progress by
sharp competition, but keeps 30 far in the
lead that competition is an impossibity.
Its first bold and original departure was
the publication of its weekly in five
separate edltons-one for Missouri, one
for Illinois, one for Texas, one for Arksn-
sas and Kansas, and another for the rest
of the union. Next, it made the Weekly
Republican a semi-weekly, issuing it
every Tuesday and Friday, in section Of
six pages each. Then it established a
special tariff department, edited by the
Hon. w. l.. Wilson, one Of the ablest OF
The Democratic leaders in congress. Now,
it announces that each Of these striking
and original features will continue perma
nently, and, in addition to all this, that
two more pages will coon be added to one
Issue each week, so as to give subscribers
to the "TU ice-a-Week" Republican four
teen pages regularly every week for only
81 90 a wear. Besides the special attrac-
tons, which no other paper in the coun-
try can offer, It's general merits as a news
paper are unequaled. Sample copies
will be sent free to application.
