chaos, from annihilation itself2
Where stand the Generals Of the Army ?
The above question is asked by the
albany Argus, and is answered as fol-
lows: To read the columns of the
Radical papers, or to listen to their vitu-
perative orators, we would think that
no one was loyal except the supporters
of Grant and Colfax-and that every
one who rallied to the banner of Sey-
mour and Blair was traitor and rebel.
Yet look at the record of the War De-
partment, and glance over the list of
the men who served during the war, and
what names do we behold?
Here is list of patriotic soldiers,
every one of whom supports the Demo
cratic cause and its champions, Seymour
and Blair: General George B McClel-

sylvania had right to expect that her

but she did not have the right to ex-
pect that New York troops would be
here on our soil, occupying the front of
her defences, before her own troops were
on the ground. l-ll.a II
From the bottom of my heart, thank
you for this generous alacrity. Bear
my personal thanks, as well as the
thanks of Pennsylvania, to your patri-
otic Governor, for the promptness with
which, through your presence, he has re-
piled to our need. On some future oc-
occasion L will, in some more appropri-
ate and formal manner, make known to
him my grateful appreciation of his
prompt action in hurrying forward to
our aid this noble band of soldierly men.

RE- IL d er in Cleveland, Ohio-The
Guilty Party Detected after the
Lapse of n Year.
CLEVELAND, February Ga foul and
mysterious murder has just been brought
to light in this city. Mrs. Sarah III. Victor,
of Cleveland. and we'll known here, has
been arrested for the murder of her bro
Their, one year ago yesterday, by admins
teripg arsenic to him. Suspicion at first
fastened upon Mrs. Victor, when her sister
called upon Judge Tilden, of the Provost
Court in this city, for advice as to how she
should proceed in this matter OF her pro-
theirs property. Mrs. Victor had taken
possession of the latter by virtue of a real
or pretended will signed by Parquet, the
murdered man, which he had promised to
share with the other. An investigation
was then set on foot by the sheriff, which
elected the fact that Mr.. Parquet had
died very suddenly after eating q pie IN
his sisters house. In view Of this and
other damaging disclosures, one of which
was that the deceased insured bis life Tor
the benefit of Mrs. Victor just before his
death, the body was exhumed yesterday,
examined by the coroner and a jury and
two eminent medical gentlemen. The
corpse was found strongly impregnated
with white arsenic, which had preserved
it almost entire for whole year. Mrs.
Victor was at once committed to Jail. Her
examination is progressing now before the
coroner, and is causing great excitement.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN PETERSBURG
Last night fire broke out in the large
three-story brick building on Sycamore
street owned by Master Charles Arthur
Johnston, and jointly occupied by Mr.. A.
Miller as dry goods store and Mrs. NJ.
E. Kull as millinery establishment. Mr..
Miller's entire stock of dry goods, shoes,
clothing, &c., was either consumed or
damaged beyond redemption by the flood
of water poured into the building. Va
lued at $4,000; insured for $4,000 to
$4,000.
Mrs. Kull's stock of millinery was
valued at $1,000 or $4,000, which, we pre-
sumo, was partially insured. 1t was en-
tirely destroy together with her furni-
ture.
We could not learn the amount of in
surance on the building, though it is in
sured in the Mutual Company of Rich
mond. The interior and the roof were
much damaged, but the walls were in good
order. 1t was fully two hours before the
flames were extinguiShed.
The goods in one or two Of the adjoin-
ing stores were partially injured by leakage,
water being thrown on the buildings for
protection. Sh.
