We see by the Charleston papers
that Mr. James SmOot, known by
almost all our citizens, died Satur-
day last at Lock Five, after a weeks
illness. Mr.. Smoot was at one time
a prosperous citizen OF Charleston,
but gold cures NOR any known rem
edies could keep him from strong
drink, and he died poor in purse.
Jim was big hearted, and his vices
probably injured himself more than
they did others.

The cloud that has been hanging over this

being lifted, and the warm rays of tariff re-
form is enthusing the poor, benighted souls

of the early passage of the tariff bill. The

free list, and reduced it on wooden goods.
This will enable the farmer to get better
prices for his wool, by broadening the mark

common people can get them. Republican
laws, cotton goods and that dread disease,
consumption, are, and have been, inseperable

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS roads
have wonderful effect. They in
crease the value of farm lands, cheap
On the cost of transportation, en-
Iiven the Inequalities of the people,
attract travel and business, fill up
the school houses and churches, and
advance civilization and religion.
In general, good roads practically
shorten distances, encourage inter
communication between town and
country, benefit trade, enhance the
value of all adjacent property, and
effect large saving of money ex-
pended in hauling materials over
bad roads.
1t is plain that a condition of af-
fairs which exacts the labor of two
horses to do what should be the
work of one is disastrous in the
business sense. Good roads are the
best possible investment for State
that cares for the prosperity of its
greatest producing class.
Heavy as are tho taxes in some
sections and devouring as mortgage
interest may be, yet bad roads cost
the farmers more every year than
all the interest combined.
Fifty yenrs ago there was some
excuse for bad roads, for our coun-
try was poor. Now it is rich, there
is no excuse.

a PLUckY GIRL.-Miss SNOWFALL,
of Point Pleasant, accompanied by
Mr.. Joe James, has the honor and
distinction of being the first lady to
go over the galloway across the
Kanawha river at Lock IL. Those
who witnessed this feat and shared
the rare enjoyment were Karl Scott,
of Lock IL, who acted as conductor,
and Chas. K. BIackwood, sight
seer. The rude box in which they
crossed was hoisted to an elevation
of about fifty feet by the trusty en-
gineer, Fred. Munford, and then
glided smoothly, yet at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, across the
river The young lady displayed
great nerve and frmness on the
trip, and the coveted honors, which
she must receive, will be greatly in
creased by the fact that this is the
longest galloway in the world,
which is used for this purpose.

Cor. TAyENER BEALE,
Shenandoah County:

Ny Dear Sir: Capt. Siedeman
wrote you some time ago, by my
direction, informing you of the arr
rival of the French Fleet. I ex-
pected we should have had you
down among US, in order to enjoy a
fight both interesting and entertain
ing. We are now encamped within
sight of York, and our works are
carrying on within 900 yards of
their works. The cannon are roar
ing continually, and in about four
days more we shall have 40 can
non & 20 mortars playing upon
them, in short, by the 18th, hope
Lord CORVALLIS & his army will be
in our possession.
Now sir, let me turn back little
to the time when you left us. As
we had certain intelligence that the
French Fleet was off the coast, it
was apprehended that the enemy
would attempt to escape by cross
ing James River, L was therefore
sent, with full powers to collect
Militia, destroy Bridges, Mills, &
in short, to throw every impeachment
into his Lordship's way l possibly
could. When | returned l was or
dered to the command on the Lines
with 400 Regulars, 400 Riflemen &
400 Militia. here l remained un
till we marched to this place, during
the time, l was on the lines we took
about 20 of Tarltons men, & con-
fined him so close to the Town that
he was compelled to give over dash
ing. TIE Commander in Chief ex
pressed his entire appreciation of
my conduct, & in terms that -fatters
my ambition. The army is at pres
ent arranged in the following man
ner. The first Brigade of Light
Infantry, with the Rifiemen & Cav
airy on the right, Commanded By
Gen. Muhlenberg. The End Bri
gade of light Infantry by Gen. Ha
zen. The Pennsylvania Line &
Gaskins' Regiment, by Wayne;
Marylanders next by G. Girt, Jer-
sey, New York, & Rhode Island
next, by Gen Clinton.
The French army composes the
left wing On our Bank from Will
liamsburg to this place 1 had the
advance with my Brigade, the Cav
airy & Rifiemen. AS L know it will
give you pleasure / shall Just tell
you that there never was moro
Harmony subsisted in any corps
than in mine at present & that L
was established in the command, not
only by order of the Commander in
Chief, but with the best wishes and
congratulations of every officer in it.
The reason of some maneuvers you
shall know when 1 see you.
lam, dear sir, yours affectionately,
P. MUHLENBERG.
P. S. By Letter just in from Gen.
Greene we are informed that most
obstinate and bloody action has
been fought to the Southwark. The
enemy had 700 killed & wounded,
& we took 400 prisoners. Col
Washington is wounded & taken,
& report says that our friend Camp
bell is killed.
