The Asheville Pioneer.

We have received the first number of the
Pioneer Hon. A. H. Jones, Editor, issued af-
ter its removal to Asheville. 1t is large and
handsomely printed paper, and full of the
genuine spirit of Liberty and Union.
We think Mr.. Jones acted wlsely in re-
moving his paper to Asheville. He can
still easily reach and commune with his
friends in Henderson and Pennsylvania,
while at the same time he has the advan-
tage of occupying the central, business town
of the Western Reserve" The Pioneer de-
serves large circulation, and it ought espe-
cially to be circulated in every valley and
cove of Western Carolina.

GEN. GRANT ON THE REMOVAL OF GEN
SHERTDAN.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Times says:
"That the position of Gen. Grant on this
matter should not be misunderstood by the
country, it is proper to state that, when be
was apprized by the President that it was
his intention to remove Gen Sheridan, he
sent Mr.. johnson an earnestly-written re-
monstrance against the act, and yesterday
before complying with the order relieving
Gen. Sheridan, he sent the President letter
the act in very emphatic
language. Neither of these protests, Of
course, are likely to see light at present.
Their publication is matter resting entirely
with the President, in whose possession they
remain. Nevertheless. it is to be hoped Mr..
johnson may see the propriety ofletting the
country read Gen. Grants opinion upon
these two important acts"

TERRIBLE ASSASSINATION OF A TENNEs-
SEE LOYAL MILITIAMAN.-We were shocked
yesterday evening to hear of the assasina-
ton of John Askew, Orderly Sergeant of
Captain Joe Blackburn's company of State
Guards. He was returning from General
Stokes residence, in De Kalb county, on
Thursday evening last, when he was fired on
by several men, who were lying IN wait
among the bushes by the roadside. He fell
from his horse, and his assasins rushed up
and fired several bullets into his body and
left him for dead. He was picked up short
ly after, still alive, but, we learn, expired
soon after. This brutal and cowardly MUIR
der took place on Coney Fork. Sergeant
Askew is said to have been most exempla-
ry and excellent young man, and his I'M
timely death is greatly regretted. No doubt
is entertained that his assassins were moved
by political hatred to commit the awful
crime. Gen. Stokes life has been attempt
ed on several occasions, and his preserva-
ton hitherto is really remarkable Last
winter we published the fact that rewards
had been offered by number of rebels for
the lives of Gen. Stokes and several other
officers of the Union army. The death of
poor Askew is no doubt to be laid at the
door of the same ruffians.-Nashrille PRESS

The committee have now reported

navy during the rebellion and who has
been honorably discharged ceruncale

at l2 p. m. and calls the other, who gets
up and watches till morning. On Satur-
day night, the man who was on duty
till midnight went of watch at the
hour mentioned and upon calling his
fellow Waterman told him that when he
left the building he "smelled smoke"
but said he guessed 1t was nothing serl-
Gus, whereupon he proceeded to his
home and retired. The man who went
on watch at that time says he walked
over the premises, hut discovered
nothing until about l;30 a. m. when he
saw Il light shining upon some slabs OF
marble, lying in the driveway between
the coping shop and saw mill, and upon
investigating the matter, discovered that
flames were issuing from the first men
toned building. Having no means at
his disposal with which to stay the pro-
gress of the deveuring element, the
building was soon wrapped in sheet OF
fame and reduced to ashes. 1t con-
tainsd large number of the tools OF
the company, and would OF itself involve
considerable loss.
But the work of destruction was not
to end there, as the flames, by means OF
an archway used to protect a driving
belt running from the saw mill to the
coping shop, communicated to the saw
mill, which being constructed OF wood
and iuhamable material, afforded an
easy prey to the avarlcious monster, and
it, too, was in the short space OF an
hour reduced to heap of smouldering
ruins. West Rutland has no machinery
for the subiugation of fires, and conse-
quently nothing could be done to sub
iect the flames after they had attained
such a degree Of progress as would defy
the efforts Of a few pals Of water
The saw mill was one OF the largest il
the United States, and the total loss by
the fire can not be much less than $25,
} 900, upon which we hear there was al
) insurance of only $4,000. Indeed tn
