CHARLESTON, W. Va., Feb. 14, 1872. Sixty miles of ice stretches out trom thts place, Darring @ comfortable and respectable transit to civilization. The capital of West Virginia ls a queer Use old place, of primitiye ancestry, perfectly em- blematic of an oid Virginia town, save that portion ‘Which has been built since the close of the war, ‘Which 1s of the most advanced style of architectural Deauty. It contains about five waousand inhanit- ants, and sits direcily upon the banks of the Kana- ‘wha, io the midst of @ region rich im minerai pro- Guots and teeming with ail the trults of inteliigent husbandry. Itw forty-three miies from nere to the Onio Kiver, and tue reguiar means of transit is by steamer. A railroad Known as the Chesapeake and Ohio which, whea completed, 13 to be one of the Moet important les of railway in tae Southern country, now ranges from the opposite side of the river from the town to @ place known a3 Hanung- ton, 18 present terminus, as far from civilization this place and equally opsiracted, aud is the means by which passengers and mails are transported from here during the ice blockade. Charleston is, taxing it al: in all, a queer, romantic spot, Right on the bank of the river it sits, furming @ picwure of civilization and a calm, clear frontuspiece to & heavy, rugged mountain background. All around it are the evidences of its minera: wealth, in ihe shape ofsult wells, which turn out millious of busp- els of tue finest salt yearly, and coal mines of the richest pituminous and anthracite coal, waich 1 found in such abundant quantities within easy range ‘that the great veins crop out upon the banks 0. the Maver, aud are Wasted off by the action of the water and picked up by the poor inhabitants without even the trouble of ming. In the summer it is a most | Geligntful spot, Few places on tnis Continent tur. mish more attractions than (his; vut none are more Gesolate and dreary when the cnitiing blasts of winter hoid sway. For weeks tue place has been SHUT OUT FROM CIVILIZATION by great barriers of ice, mails arrive scarcely once @ week, and the means of transit are greatly im- peded, and, at tines, almost whoily obstructed. ‘Nevertheloss, tne lictle place is alive, and, at times, cheerful with excitement.
