Is QuantreI Dead!

Editor Missouri Repu6ican:-During my short

article discussing whether or not Quantrell is
dead. Allow me TO state what I know.
joined his band in the early part of the war; and
was never away from it until its close, except
while wounded. On the 2lst of June, 1866,
Quantrell, with thirteen men, started to go
down from what is called the Thomas TO
SamuePs Depot Kentucky When about two
miles south OF Bloomfield heavy rain came up
and we stopped in barn owned by Mr. Wake
field, for shelter, where we were enjoying
social nap,n not thinking that our party would
travel while 1t was raining, when Terrell, with
about sixty men, rushed down upon us. We had
no time to say our prayers, for the fun COM
menced. We mounted our horses and started
out going through the gate. Quantrel's horse
was shot from under him. Immediately young
Glascock and Hockinsmith dlsmounted and eX-
claimed:-"Quantrell, we will die with your
and, true to their word, these brave boys fell
dead trying to save their chieftain. He was also
shot down at the same time, but upon examina-
ton 1t was found he was not dead. They re-
moved him TO the house, where he remained all
night. Early next morning Terrell returned,
and placing him in wagon took him TO Louis
VILE, where he died shortly afterwards and was
buried by Catholic priest These are the facts
connected with his death, which can be sworn
to by ten as brave men as drew navy during
the late war. Please give this place in your
paper. ONE OF THE BUsHwHACKERs.

| persuaded that the Queen would still pay her
visit, and asked the next day at FREQUENT Inter
walls whether the Queen had not already arrived
at Trieste. At the same time her condition
grew worse, and her disquietude became 30 great
that she scarcely touched food or drank even
a drop OF water during the whole day. In her
surmises she was right, for the Queen OF the
Belgians arrived on the 14th July. At the
formal desire of the Empress her physician was
forced TO remain present during the interview.
Two days afterwards, Dr. Bulkens, Director of
the Lunatic Asylum at Gheel, in Belgium, ar
rived at MIramar, and had q consultation with
the three physicians we have already named
DR.. Bulkens commenced by informing his coll
leagues that he had been commissioned bv the
King of the Belgians to convey the sufferer to
BeIglum, This communication cut short any
iurther discussion. In a statement which was
signed on the 18th July by the four
physicians, Drs. Hex, Riedel and Macbik
declined all responsibility should she

clared that he would be answerable. The fol-
lowing days were devoted to the preparations
lor the Empress journey. The physicians were
unanimously of opinion that she could only

conhded her to the care of Bulkens. To show
now strong at this period were the influences
which forced thoughts upon her mind, we NAV
mention that on July 16 she wrote letter TO
the queen OF the Belgians, in which, while ex-
pressing the pleasure which that visit of her
Majesty had afforded her, she at the same time
declared she wished to see her no more, This
was formal adieu. AS soon as her growing
agitation had ceased she equally refused to re-
celve the visit of the Arehduke Charles Louis.
VINO had already been TO Miramar the previous
autumn, when the Empress first returned from
Rome. The STRENGTH of the patient diminished
~ Cne same time IN an alarming manner, and
then II became impossible to let her resume her
walks. Indeed, it was with great difficulty that
she could be induced to take sufficient food 1t
was Whlle IN this condi tion that on July 30 the
Empress left MiTamar for her native country
followed by the best wishes OF all who have the
least feeling for humanity.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

THE STATE CONVENTION
We love the freedom Of the Mass Conventions
the voluntary gatherings of old and young, rich and
poor, great and small--statesmcn Of large expert
ence and influence, such Collamor and Foot,
and their constituents, loving to gather knowledge
and mitl and courage from the lessons Of the Con-
vcntion. We love the Convention where everybody
has equal rights and opportunities; whore men in
office feel the pulses of the people, and the peo-
pie know and test their servants. 1t is not be-
cause for more than thirty years we have been ac-
customed to such conventions, but rather because
we have found Thorn good safe, successful. Yer
mont knows no peer in political stability and purity,
and no superior in statesmenship, when tested 10y
the She has reared and given 60 the nation by the
voice of her people at the Mass Convention. This
reputation has not been won in spite of Mass Com
vcntions, but, in no ncousidcrable degree, with
their aid; for the Mass Convention, like the town
meeting, develops men, and brings ont talent that
would be hidden but for such am opportunity But
now, in spite Of preference for the Mass Conventions
we must honor the first Delegate Convention. 1t
was full in numbers, especially from the argertowns
and many of the smaller were rcprescntcdi and am
assembly of nobler mon We never saw. It's pro-
ceedngs were orderly and harmonious, and the
suns Wtit llINNltfl Nhtt AilNg NNhH it'N NNti il
a Mass Convention.
The frs delegate convention was success. 1t
was no time therefore, think of changing back to
the Mass Convention, and Mr.. Wtbbe was fully
aware of that when lac made his motion, as he made
it only to discharge faithfully his duty to his const-
tuents. We suspect the delegate conyenuonwillbe
tolerated tin the best part of it becomes corrupted
we mean the mass town meetings that elect the
delegates. When any considerable portion of Yer
mont has become rotten, like New York when
primary meetings are controlled by fraud and bull
lies and back-legs are sent 10 state conventions to
rule the officers and the legislation of the state
when contested cases arise to delay the organiza-
ton Of conventions, and to be determined ultimately
with regard only to results and not to right then
we hope there WILDE virtue enough left in the Re
publcans OF Vermont open the doors of their con
ventions so that honest men can come in and put
the roguos to shame.
The resolutions of the Convention are eXcellouti
though We should have preferred to omit the refer
nee to lhe Administration. 1t reminds us of the
one great mistake Of the party, which it will ever
