ton of Cuba in case speedy action was
not taken on the basis of settlement
submitted by the United States, is not

can be no doubt that Gen. Sickles is

DEATH OF HON. JOHN BELL.

The death of John Bell, of Tennessee,
took place at his residence, at Cqmber-
land Iron Works, in that State, on the
10th inst. Mr.. Bell was born at Nash
vile, February 18th, 1869. Graduating
at Western college, he studied law,and
in 1917 he was elected to the State
Senate. In 1926 he was elected to
Congress as an Adams candidate, but
became an admirer of Calhoun, and af-
ter several vaccillations of policy took
ground as Wing, and as such was
elected Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives in 1882. In 1841 he was
appointed Secretary Of War by Presi-
dent Harrison, but resigned Immediately
after the latter's death; being only one
month in Office. After period of
retirement he was elected United States
Senator in 1847, and was relnstated in
1853. In 1860 he was nominated by a
cClVeQLlOl III Odltilloho 90 =" AVA VA
candidate for the Presidency, with
Edward Everett as the candidate for the
Vice Presidency, carrying only three
states-virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessse. The Bell-Everett ticket, as it
was called, represented the Southern
Unionists and what was left OF the old
Wings and Know-Nothings OF the
North. 1t was party of compromise
AN effort on the part of the we'll
meaning men to postpone the evil day
of civil war. Its platform was " The
Union, the Constitution, and the En-

late war Mr.. Bells sympathies were
with the South. He took no active
part, however, and remained in obscur-
ity ever since.

VIRGINIA'S FUTURE.

Surely, no people under the sun ever
had brighter prospects for the future
than those of Virginia. We have had
hard time truly. Virginia has been
the battle ground of the war, and has
suffered terribly, but out of that suffer-
ing we believe she is bound to rise in
power and might, 80 that hereafter she
will be more powerful to prevent strife
between the sections than she has been
heretofore, and the interest given her by
the development of her latent mechani-
cal and producing powers will make it
imperative on her to interpose her pow
erful arm ''hehalf of peace between
the sections.
The Richmond Enquirer takes quite
a cheerful view of the future OF our
State, in an article in its Tuesdays is
sue, portion of which we extract:
"What then is to prevent us from
prospecting? Where is there more
delightful climate? where is there a
more varied and improbable soil
where are there finer rivers and har-
bors? where is there more wealth In
the bowels of the earth ? where is there
greater water power where is there a
kindlier, more warm-hearted people ?
Will not such inducements invite i'm
migration ? And if our great public
works shall be promptly completed, we
lie just in the path to manipulate the
productions Of the central Mississippi
Valley-the funnel through which II
must find its way to the sea-and hav-
ing also that point on the Atlantic
coast which must command the traffic
across the continent from the Pacific.

which hang down-and look hopefully
into the future. The day of deliverance

oeeding anything which we enjoyed be-
fore the war"
