FllEW A CAMPBELL, WlUtKLINU, W. VA. Tiio <>rnu«l Turnout Siilunlii) Night. Tho Republican demonstration in this city on Saturday night was really Homething magnificent in itn character. The torchlight procession through tho streets, from the Market Htreet bridgo to the place of meeting in the Find Ward, attracted universal attention alljilong tlie route, ami made an unmistakalle impression on all beholders. As for the meeting at the head of 7th Htreet, it was an immense affair, and altogether surpassed anything that has thtiH fur occurred in tho canvas* in thin city. And what makes the whole denlonstration particularly noteworthy in the fact that it ran ho nearly spontaneous in itn get up, having been preceded with about ux little announcement and certainly as little puffing and blowing as any demonstration we have ever witnessed in Wheeliug. The clubs got it tip an a kind of amateur eyo opener fur the campaign, just to let tho Democracy nee what they could do without any effort. When all tho ward organisations receive their uniform*, and when all the hoys Hut themselves regularly together for a "big tiling," we may expect to aeo a turn out that will throw even Saturday night'rt demonstration in tho shade. The interest displayed in the Republican cause in this city from tho very outnet of tho canvass has b«en unusual. From the very start, immediately on receipt of tho nominations made at Cincinnati, the party took hold with a vim that indicated business and that has meant business ever since. The ward mcectingH havo been largely attended on all occasions, even when there were no special attractions,and when there was anything likoa loud call to arms tho attendance has been unprecedented. Men, women and children havo attended these meeting*. The number of women at the great gathering Saturday night was n noticeable feature of the meeting. And what was equally noticeable was the quiet respect with which tho presence ol these mothers, wives nnd daughters was recognised by so largo and so promtscu- ous an assemblage. Ah a friend well ooserved to us yesterday, it speaks well for the Republican party anil for the civilizution of our politics when the good plain honest women of our people thus feel at liberty to come out anil hear the issue* of the day discussed in their midst, The Republican* of Wheeling ami Ohio county have every reason to feel encouraged by the deep interest that in .thus manifested in the huqcoss of-their cause. It is plain that the Tilden tidal wave that was supposed to havo struck the country with so much foroea few weeks ago is losing its force. So far as this community is concerned it Is a spent ball. Judging from the news from Weston in this morning's paper it has badly played out in that community. The Republicans aro greatly enthused over the first engagement between tloff and Mathews. Our gallant chieftain not only holds the prestige he acquired in his ^brilliant canvass with Col. lien Wilson two years ago, "but adds to it. llo is a power beforo the people, Like Hayes, he has a goal square record, and can fight on the aggressive all the time. It is to be hoped that QotT and Matthews will travcrso the State to* gather. Thousands of Democrats will thus havo a chance to hear important fonts* that they would never otherwise hear. Wo hope soon to have them both in Wheeling. Another significant item in our Weston news thia morning, ia the announcement that the Democrat newspaper of that place, the only paper in tho conn- ty, in coming out for Hayca aiifi Wheeler to-day, and will hereafter sup- port tho Republican ticket. Thia not only assures Lewis county to us beyond reasonable doubt, but will have a potent influence on the surrounding counties. The Lewis county Democracy are badly torn up by internal dissensions. It is difficult to tell the amount of disaffection and demoralization among them since tho Phillipi convention. The editor of the J Democrat expressed himself very plainly in reference to the proceedings of that Convention, and we presume the County convention on Friday last will be com- mented on in the same manner. ( All the indications here and elsewhero in thn Ktntfi are full of ennourflirement for tlio Republican cause. We trust that the newa we publish thin morning will inspire the party in every county in West Virginia to put forth its best efforts to j achieve success on the 10th of October. Weht VrnoiNiA News..Crop pros- poets were never better in Braxton county. I 10ven Nicholas county bus now a paper .the Nicholas County Uxul. There are 110 witnesses summoned in a single ca*o in Braxton county. The buckwheat and corn cropa ot Pres- ton promise a large yield. The corporation lax in Ivingwood is 10 cento on the $100. i Several young men of Kingwoori have signed a pledge to abstain from the use of tobacco. Whooping cough and typhoid fever are epidemic in parts of Monroe and Green- brier countips. . 1 All the oHice flecker* in Braxton county commence their cards to the public by saying that "at the earnest solicitation of many friends," Ac., they have become candidates. All except one, and he puts his case as follows: "I an\now 00 years old, have lived and labored in this "country afl my life; have always worked for its prosperity; am one among the largest tax-payers in thecounty and think that 1 am entitled to the confidence of the {>cople,and I hereby announce myself as an lndc|>endcnt candidate for tlie ollice of Assessor for the next term." The Phillipi I'laindciiler bids fair to rival tlio MoundsvilleNational. It says that "the Taylor county Fair this year bespeaks one rtf more success than any previous year." The Council of Clarksburg rel uses to submit to a vote of the citizens the <|iies- tion of subscribing $70,000 to tho capital of tho Weston and West Fork Narrow Gauge, mainly bccauso tho. claims of the project are not promising, $1)0,000 of the $115,000 required l»eing still lacking. .Joshua Proudfoot, of Barbour county, is a candidate for Assessor, "through the protracted solicitation of numerous friends. i Corn is 65 cents per bushel at Fairmont, oat* 25 cents, potatoes 40a50. According to the Fairmont Index there was a good deal ol drunkenness and dis- order at the Sliinnston camp meeting. One case is particularly noticed, as fol- lows: The case of "a young man lying upon the ground drunk. He was handsome, well dressed, and his looks told thnt he belonged to a high class in socie- ty. Ho lay stretched out in the broiling sun, and the policeman not having hu- inanity enough in hishearttoremovehlm, swung to/and fro qu tho gate. Presently a young girl alighted from acarriagcand going up to the prostrate man, fixed him iii a couifortublo portion, and then, taking up a position by hi* side, nho watched over him aa tenderly as a mother would her child." i wlwt alexander mauk a flltstClaps Station..Wo are glad to hear tliat tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have mado West Alexander a tirst-clium station. It will be »gre»t advantage and convenienceito shipjwrH 16 pay their freight whero they receive tl|eir goods. We always knew that Squire Bell,Jhe agent at thr>t place, was alirst-clasa man, and we now congratulate him and the patrons of tho road on tho change from a hccoihI to a tir»t-cla«H Htation. Went Alexander in tho moat important place on the road between Wheeling and Washington, and evory facility ought to bo extended to the patrons of tho road. It in tho only Htation that support* a telegraph oilicc between hero and Washington. The many friends of Mr. John Mor' gan, Sr., will be pained to read the news of his death in '.his morning's paper. lie was one of our oldest ami most rpajiected citizens, and had (teen conspicuously identified with tho hanking interests of Wheeling for Home -10 years. Ilia illness and death came upon him very suddenly. Only a few eveninga since he attended a meeting at the Court House and on that occasion seemed not only in the enjoyment of his usual health hut also greatly interested in hearing the issues of the day discussed in this canvass. By his tin looked lor <l«'ath a g^xi citixen has suddenly passed from our midst. To tho IVopIo ot Ohio C'oiiufy. iMllton of tho Intelligencer; We are the unfortunates alluded to in the Sunday leader "whofC animus in tho matter is selfishly and idiotically based on the presumption that if the hlui Grovo Hallway traverses' ICth street with its narroiTgauge dummy engine it will decrease tho value ot their property."- Again: "To arjjue that it would cause an advance in their property seetus almost a wjiste ot ipace." And again: "It is not a malicious spirit, but oue of stupid- ity and blindness. ( We deem it not intemperate to submit ] to*our fellow citixena, on behalf of the I nearly one hundred freeholders and sub- c stantial citiaena who signed the petition against 'ateam poWer on ICth street, J whether the above language is exactly t becoming in ono who, in the callow yoars of hie youth, has but recently set his feet among ua. Do either his attainment*, hia natural abilities, or anything about his surroundings, jualify fuch language, 1 or commend the cause in which itiauaed? Wo will not descend to tho level of the *r- i tide from which theaeextracta are made. It is in such manner and temper theft the causo of this corporation is advocated, even to the appropriation of public funds to private uses. Ah to that $15,000 investor, it has been said before, that talk is cheap. but it taken money to buy land. Perhaps it may interest somo of our livery men particularly, and the public generally, to look at chanter 1 (JO of tho Acts of the Legislature of 1872-73, entitled "An Act to grant tho right of laying ii railway track on the bed of the National road, eastward of the City of Wheeling," passed December 15, 1873. This corporation there gets the right to run its track on the bed of the National road and across it whero necCHsnry. When their ten-ton engino, or any^ other one, :ouies along towards tho family or other vehicle, especially as tho engino of any kind pulls nod struggles up a grade, it will be interesting. The »nly good rond in this county, fellow litizens living out of tho city, is thus surrendered to this grasping" corporation. John street is not alone interested in this matter. That act of the .Legislature is.a remarkable instance of whnt first-class sunning can accomplish in a legislative body, and h an unmitigated outrage on. the |>eop]e of Ohio county. This company's road-bed is freo to-them wherever they can make it on the nike. They sou Id not run over Fulton hill. By a remarkable co-incidence, as soon :w the nbovo act was passed, certain parties stirred up a persistent agitation in lhe City L'ouncil and Board of Commissioners for the Peninsular bridged to be built and to grade McCulloch Htrcet. It has been ilono. Then they are to be appropriated lo this company. It ha« been a most skilfully put-up-job. They have got their road-bed free, and the city and county has been, we doubt not, maneuvered into building two costly bridge* lor them,unIota our Countv * Commissioners shall Jeny their petition. So costly to the city Lhat an extra tax levy of 50 cents on every $100 of real estate in to be put in Llio city levy l>y Council, which would not have been levied if the bridges hud not been built. The citiwsns of lGth street are misrepresented as -endeavoring to defeat this road. On tho contrary many of the very signers to the jKJtilion published last Saturday are stockholders of and subscribers to the road. But it was then to Ihj a horsecar road, and if the road is really of a tenth part the importanco or value its projectors claim it will be built and run with horse-cars if steam power is forbidden. If it will not pay to run it with horses, it is not of the value, and will not ho of the ihu which is claimed. Hut it will probably pay it* stockholders greater dividends with steaui power, and then the city and county and public generally can growl at the oppressive monopoly and curse it at their leisure, and relied on being outwitted, with 'the only nrdinary road certain at all times and in all weathers, ruined/ All this for the benefit of tho few.- As to^ the depreciation of property, ask Kane street property holders their experience, not their "opinion. The power behind the throne, ns to the Hei/itier, lives near Elm Grove, and in spite of its (/isinterrded opinion of us as "certain individuals," and tho wild article in the Uader, we must mill object to being slain an the altar of financial sacrifice, not fur [lie pubiic good, but to make fat the pockit-books of the proprietors of our domestic Credit Mobil ier.

(loodlin, Secretary o( the Lutheran Board of IIoiuo Missions, was the occasion of special services at the English Lutheran Church yesterday. ^ The morning was devoted to the reception of members into the church and the administration ot tho Holy Supj>er: The tloral decorations were very choice, being the gift of Thomas llornbrook, E?n. Uu cither side of the pulpit were small bouquets of rose-buds, tuber-roses anil gernilium*, and in tho center of tlio pulpit n large basket of^ choicest dahlias, foliage plant* and gladiulas. The entire church wan fragrant with perfume. The communion address by ltev» .Uoodlin wan delivered without note* and produced a marked efloct upon the largo congregation. Tho afternoon was devoted to Knnday School services, the subject of the lesson being "In* temperance." Mr. Zevely had a telling picture on the black boaru nplendidly executed. Jiev. lioodlin was the chief tpeakcr, holdingthechildren to tho num[>er of 500 in closest attention. About twelve hymns wero Bung by the Sunday School in such a way as to elicit the enthusiastic comments of tho many visitors. At the clone df tho school a beautiful illnatrated temporanco pajutr was presented to each scholar mil teacher, by their warm friend and earnest temperance advocato, Thomas llornbrook. 12sq. The evening sermon jy tho visiting Secretary was a masterly itTorU His theme was "Daniel'* Pur;xwe," which ho handled with clear reasoning, and illustrated with many incilents from real life. Such an effect did he sermon produce that a prominent nember of another denomination said: 'Kither the Lutheran Church has a. uglily educated ministry or »lse the Wheeling people are onjy allowed to hear heir men of talent." The church and sunday school rooms were filled to the itmoit during all the services. 15 ellaire Locals..Tho ^Republican primary meeting for tho purpose of choosing delegates from Pultney township to tho Judicial Convention at Barnesville to*morr6w was held" at the City Hall Saturday afternoon, with J. 8.'

St. Louis, September 2..jTlie GlobeOanocrat has a letter from Kensett, Arkansas,'detailing Home atrocities commited by a religious sect called the Qobbitcs, it a place called Gum Spring White lounty. It apj»ear8 a'man named Cobb ules the community, and is regarded by lis followers as Jesus and obeyed accordingly. For some time past singular! loisea have been heard at Gum Spring, >y j>er8ons passing there. A few days igo, C. I), Humphreys, of Searcy, and a llr. Make, of I£1 l'aso, determined to iscertain the cause of them and clear up he mystery. They therefore visited the ocality,and aa they were passing a hut, rom which issued strange sounds, a man mined Dover and one.of the Cobbites,ac:ostcd them and said God was in the hut, ind invited them to enter and see him, rhey alighted from their buggy, and' Humphreys was at once seized by four nen andiila'kc by four women. BlnkeJ iroke loose from his' captors and! rfn about a hundred and fifty' rards* when, on looking back, he iaw the men cutting Humphreys to lieccs with long knives, lie hastened to own, reported tho case, and a party of litizens at once started for the scene of lie murder., Oil arriving at the Springs hey found Humphreys killed, his head :ut ofl'and stuck on a fence paling. A »ov riding by had been compelled to get ifl liis horse, how hix head three times and itter a prayer. A parley entitled be-, ween the leader of the citizen**, T. C. Dover, and the Cobbites, during which the alter took Humphrey'# head froui the enco several time*, shook it back and brth, and replaced it on the paling, at the lame liine ordering the citizens to leave. U last Dover and his crowd advanced on Mack and his party in a menacing nianler, and the latter fired upon themkillng two men and wounding another. The :cmaining four men, four women and two children were arrested and taken to jail. >ther Cobbites were also arrested and aken to Searcy. There was great excitement among the people, and lynching vas threatened. The next day a preliminary examinaion was held and all tlie parties released, rtiev talked incessantly about their reigion, ami there Deemed little doubt that hey were all crazy from the effects of reigious excitement and starvation. J/.iter advices say that a coroner's inpieat wan held on the bodyof Humphrey, ind the jury returned a verdict that L. ]{. ind J. M. Dover, Tlios. Clainev and John uid Elizabeth Nelson arc guilty as prin:ipals of the murder of Humphrey, and lolin and Lee Dover ami Clementine Dover guilty as accessories. L. 11. Dover uid Thomas CJainey were the two men tilled by the posse that made the arrests.: JldG'obb escaped to the woods, ant! at a*t accounts hud not been captured. It ippears that Cobb came from Michigan, vliere ho taught his attrocious doctrines iDlil driven out. He first settled in Southeastern Missisippi, where he made a ew converts, and, it is said, offered up inants as sacrifice, He was driven away rom there, and with his fanatical follow?rs went to White county, Arkansas, and nduced a few moro ignorant peoplo to oin them. The accpunta received do not ;ive any ade<piatc reason or cause for the ittack upon Humphrey amT the murder if the former; but the Qobbites seem to lavobeen wrought up to a high degree of eligious excitement or frenzy, and were irged on by old man Cobb, who had aught his deluded followers that he was lot only Christ in person, but that he utered the decrees of (Jod himself, and that mytliing tlioy did w;wdevoid of win.

Tiio <>rnu«l Turnout Siilunlii)Night.

Tho Republican demonstration in thiscity on Saturday night was really Homethingmagnificent in itn character. The

torchlight procession through tho streets,from the Market Htreet bridgo to the

place of meeting in the Find Ward, attracteduniversal attention alljilong tlieroute, ami made an unmistakalle impressionon all beholders.

As for the meeting at the head of 7thHtreet, it was an immense affair, and altogethersurpassed anything that has thtiHfur occurred in tho canvas* in thin city.And what makes the whole denlonstrationparticularly noteworthy in the factthat it ran ho nearly spontaneous in itn

get up, having been preceded with aboutux little announcement and certainly as

little puffing and blowing as any demonstrationwe have ever witnessedin Wheeliug. The clubs got it tipan a kind of amateur eyo openerfur the campaign, just to let tho Democracynee what they could do without anyeffort. When all tho ward organisationsreceive their uniform*, and when all the

hoys Hut themselves regularly togetherfor a "big tiling," we may expect to aeo a

turn out that will throw even Saturdaynight'rt demonstration in tho shade.The interest displayed in the Republicancause in this city from tho very outnetof tho canvass has b«en unusual.

From the very start, immediately on receiptof tho nominations made at Cincinnati,the party took hold with a vim that

indicated business and that has meant

business ever since. The ward mcectingHhavo been largely attended on all

occasions, even when there were no specialattractions,and when there was anythinglikoa loud call to arms tho attendancehas been unprecedented. Men, womenand children havo attended these

meeting*. The number of women at the

great gathering Saturday night was n

noticeable feature of the meeting. Andwhat was equally noticeable was the quiet

respect with which tho presence olthese mothers, wives nnd daughters was

recognised by so largo and so promtscu-ous an assemblage. Ah a friend well ooservedto us yesterday, it speaks well forthe Republican party anil for the civilizutionof our politics when the goodplain honest women of our people thusfeel at liberty to come out anil hear theissue* of the day discussed in their midst,The Republican* of Wheeling ami

Ohio county have every reason to feelencouraged by the deep interest that in

.thus manifested in the huqcoss of-theircause. It is plain that the Tilden tidalwave that was supposed to havo struckthe country with so much foroea fewweeks ago is losing its force. So far as

this community is concerned it Is a spentball. Judging from the news from Westonin this morning's paper it has badlyplayed out in that community. TheRepublicans aro greatly enthusedover the first engagement betweentloff and Mathews. Our gallantchieftain not only holds the prestige heacquired in his ^brilliant canvass withCol. lien Wilson two years ago, "but addsto it. llo is a power beforo the people,Like Hayes, he has a goal square record,and can fight on the aggressive all thetime. It is to be hoped that QotT andMatthews will travcrso the State to*

gather. Thousands of Democrats willthus havo a chance to hear important

news thia morning, ia the announcementthat the Democrat newspaper of thatplace, the only paper in tho conn-

Thia notonly assures Lewis county to us beyondreasonable doubt, but will have a potentinfluence on the surrounding counties.The Lewis county Democracy are badlytorn up by internal dissensions. It isdifficult to tell the amount of disaffectionand demoralization among them since thoPhillipi convention. The editor of the JDemocrat expressed himself very plainlyin reference to the proceedings of thatConvention, and we presume the Countyconvention on Friday last will be com-mented on in the same manner.(
