Washington at Valley Forge.

A writer in the Schoo! T1sitor gives tho
following interesting account of visit to
Valley Forge, place full Of associations
which at this time we are all glad to have
brought before us:
"Ths celebrated spot takes its name from
an iron forge located in the vicinity, which
belonged to one Isaac Potts, a Friend, who
called these lands his own, even before the
time of the Revolution. Valley Greek is
sufficiently large to drive the great water
wheel of large cotton factory which stands
upon the site of the old forge, aud adjacent
to the junction Of the two streams. The
residence OF Isnac Potts, situated near the
mouth of the creek, is substantial, but old
fashioned stone building, and is occupied to
this day as dwelling.
In this same house Washington had a
small private room in which he attended to
his correspondence, and held social inter-
course with his officers. In the sill of the
East window is an ingenious little cavity, in
which the Commander-in- Chief deposited his
important papers. A casual observer would
never suspect any such hidden depository,
for the rough carpentry is so adjusted that
the innocent timber on which you lean to
admire the landscape without, has the ap-
pearance of an ordinary sill-and nothing
more.
From this window the visitor obtains fine
view of the hallowed hills around the ruins
of the old -four mill, whose hum was heard
in that peaceful valley long before the roar
of the cannons made those regions the place
OF strife and the camping-grounds of brave
warriors; and here, too, the eye may follow
the many crooks aud ripplcs of the little

panied the funeral procession along the bou-
levards and streets Of Paris
Arrived at the gate of the Convent of
Picpus, the crowd halted; the interior in
closure could only admit two or three hun
dred persons. The family, the nearest rela-
atives and the principal authorities entered,
passed through the Convent in silence, then
across the garden, and finally entered the
cemetery. There, no political manifestation
took place; no grafton wss pronounced ; re.

The Last Hours of Lafayette.

No life had been more passionatoIy politi-
cal than his no man had ever placed
his ideas and political sentiments more con-
stantly above all other prepossessons or in
terests But politics were utterly unconnec-
ted with his death. III for three weeks, he
approached his last hour. His children and
household surrounded his bed he ceased to
speak, and it was doubtful whether he could
sec. His son George observed that with un-
certain gesture be sought for something in
his bosom. He came to his fathers assist
ancc and placed in his hand medallion
which he always wore around his neck
M. de Layfayette raised it to his lips this
was his last motion. That medallion con-
tained miniature and II lock of hair of Mad
anne de Lafayette, his wife, whose loss he had
mourncd for twenty seven years. Thus al
ready seprratad from the entire world, alone
with the thought and image OF the devoted
companion Of his life, he died
In arranging his funeral, it was recog-
nized fact in the family that NJ. de Layfaette
had always wished to be buried in a small
cemetery adjoining the Convent of Picpus, by
the side of his wife, in the midst of victims
of the Revolution, the greater part royalists
and aristocrats, whose ancestors had founded
that pious establishment. The desire of the
veteran Of 1889 was scrupulously respected
and complied with. An immense crowd

ing, the seed grain having been consumed 70
food, and the Bunneas refusing to advance will
50 slight prospect of a remunerative crop
Most useful, because productive, relief has beer
afforded by the Meerut committee, in advancing
grain for sowing. AS over probably three
tourths of the area of those districts the rub
bee crop may be regarded as an entire failure
the prospects for the future are dark indeed
Between Allyghur and Delhi the Railway
works give employment to $4,000 people, and
the works being commenced by Government viii
give employment to many more, but it is to b.
remembered that in these parts one of the effects
OF the suppression of the mutiny was to leave a
very large number Of widows and orphans, and
further that the able bodied, the bread winners
have emigrated from these districts in shoals fol-
Gwaiior and other native States The result OF
these combined causes has been to leave most
undue proportion Of the old and infirm, Of wo-
men and children. Public works bring no re-
lief to such as these, and to keep them alive
they must be fed by charity, oxacting, of course
such labor as they are able to perform, which
Frustrated as they now are by want of food
would be merely nominal
From this an idea of things can be gathered
Mr.. Parker before those hard times came on
adopted into his family three orphan boys, and
also took for an indefinite time two orphan girls
These acts OF generosity, with the immense price
Of bread, of course very much increases his ex-
penses, and makes it hard for him to get along;
and he wrote me to see if | could not in some
way raise something for him here.
l am from time to time sending packages to
him from this place and any donation Of wear
ing apparel or money will be very thankfully
received, and few dollars at this time Will do
him much good. You will say, perhaps, that
it cannot reach him in time but it will There
is yet over four months of famine from this
date and the news Of donations here can reach
HIM in two months--so if we can rely upon
anything, Of course he will know hew to man
age before its reception. Remember also, that
this famine is growing worse and will continue
SO until the next crop is raised, and necessarily
it will bring Mr.. p in debt, and whatever is
raised here will reach him in time to help him
pay.
Now, that all may see how much little will
help him, will state the price Of some things,
where he lives which we call necessaries oflife:
Needles and pins per paper, 75c hoop skirts,
500 each American print, from 25c to 45c per
gard; and very many things that arc necdful
cannot be obtained at any price. The expense
of freight to Calcutta is $l5 per ton of 40 cubic
feet, and the duties on goods to missionaries are
small, 50 the way is open to help HIM much
Any article of clothing is acceptable, and all
clothing and money sent to me will forward
without any commission SO if you forward one
dollar it will reach him one hundred cents
Will not some one lend helping hand in this
time Of need to spread the Gospel among the
heather? Yours, NC,

IMPORTANT FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA

IMPORTANT FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA
Adyices, fully authenticated, were received in
this city last evening OF q new and startling cpl
sOdc Of the campaign in Western Virginia. Ii
is stated, on ample authority, that on the night
Of the 9th instant, Gen. RosencrauZ Withdrew
bis entire forces from the Big Sewell, and was
moving rapidly across the Gauley river. The
movement was effected without the observation
Of General Lee, our forces not being apprised OF
the withdrawal OF the enemy until the next
morning, when he was about sixteen miles on
his march toward the Gauley. Ii is stated that
Gen. Lee was unable to pursue the enemy, on
account of lack of transportation and the bad
condition OF the roads, rendered much worse at
the time of the enemy's falling back by a heavy
and continued rain. A detachment Of our cav
airy followed the enemy, hanging upon and an
moving bis rear. Ii is not known what is the oh
iect Of Rosencranz's movement or whether Il IS
to be Interpreted as a retreat, although the prob
ability is coniectmed that il may be intended to
cut off Gen ,Jackson's division. As far, hoyYev-
rr. as the information OF the facts stated above
is concerned. it may be considered as entirely re-
liable Il was ascertained last night that the
War Department had received dispatches from
General Lee himself, fully couiirmatory of the
movements of RosencranZ, and stating the fact
that he was already supposed to have reerossed
the Gauey river. The dispatches were forwarded
through Col. Slarke, Of Gen. L0Iing's stati, who
reached here Yesterday afternoon. .--Rietm0Ra
