HE Senate is just now having
periodical attacks of Sue Murphy.
Sue had house burned during the
war, and having always been loyal,
she asks compensation. Consequent
iy our headed Senators have
been wrangling for two or three
hours every day for some time past,
as to the policy of acceding to her
demand. During the debate serious
misgivings have arose as regards
Sues loyalty.
There are large number who
proved their loyalty by their acts,
and who never can be compensated
for the LOSSES thcy have sustained
not in property, but in blood and
crushed affectiOns--and if any one
is to be paid for sacrifices, VIC should
like to see them begin with these
The recognition of Miss Murphy's
claim will open the door of The Treas
ury to thousands Of hungry cormo-
rants with similar claims, nineteen
Lwentieths of whom never felt or
expressed loyal sentiment. While
we can not repay those who are
known TO be loyal, we object most
decidedly TO opening the doors of
the Treasury TO those whose loyalty
is doubted

This is good move, and we hope
it will meet with success. The State
of Ohio claims peculiar honor for the
part taken by her sons in tho late
war. Let her show that she is worthy
of the claim, by providing for the
comfort and education of the help
less orphans of those who reflected
that honor upon her.

THOSE Senators tho chose to receive
the favors of Andrew Johnson in
preference TO those of their constitu-
ents are fast receiving their reward.
Patterson of Tennessee, Dixon oi
Connecticut, Doolittle of Wisconsin,
Henderson of Missouri, have all
been left out in the cold. Van Win

A GOOD MOVE.

The semi annual convention o
the Grand Army of the Republic
which assembled at Dayton on the
18th inst, passed the following res.
olutiOns:
Rev. A. G. Byers, in behalf of the
committee to whom the subject of 8
State Soldiers Orphans Home was
referred, submitted the following
report, viz:
WHEREAS, There are, by the best
estimate that can be made from ex-
isting facts, over two thousand
orphan children in Ohio, whose faith
ers gave up their lives upon the altar
of our country, and whose children
have been thus deprived of needed
protection and support and
WHEREAS, Many of these little
ones are now numbered with the
pauper population of our State, and
subjected to neglect and cruelty
and exposed to unnumbered and un-
mitigated evils in the county infirm
aries OF our State; and
WHEREAS, Sacred obligations are
upon us while We cherish the memory
OF our fallen comrades, to leave no
efforts untried to secure the comfort,
education and happiness cf their
children and
WHEREAS, Other States have al.
ready provided homes which are
securing the well being of soldier s
orphans; therefore,
Resolyed, That it is the duty OF
this Department of the Grand Army
of the Republic to seek promptly
and earnestly, by every just and
generous effort, 10 provide a home
for the orphans OF our fallen CON-
rades, who fell vindicating the na-
tion's honor, and leaving to Ohio q
fair heritage in the memory of their
patriotism and valor.
-RaSnlged. That the Council OF Ad-
ministration be and are hereby au
thorized to institute the necessary
steps for the organization of such
plans as may in their Judgment be
best calculated to secure public at
tention and cooperation on the part
of the citizens of Ohio, to aid in sc.
curing the erection OF State Or
phan's Home for the children of
deceased soldiers of Ohio.
Resolved, That the Assistant In
spector General be appointed as
agent of this Department under the
immediate advice and control OF the
Council of Administration, and that
it shall be his duty to solicit aid, to
receive contributions, and such pro-
posals of assistance from private
citizens or corporate bodies as will
aid in the accomplishment of this
most important work; and that for
such service the Assistant Inspector
General shall receive such compen-
sation as may be determined by the
Council of Administration.

said that the rag tag and bobtail com.

from the monotony of thieving to which
their time and talents are usually de-

DOnth of General TLOmu. Hnymoud


A Richmond telegram brings the in
telligence that General Thomas HAY

this State, died in that city on Wednes.
day, 2lst inst. None of the particulars
relative to his illness and death are
given.
For many years before the war Gener.
al RAYMOND was one of the most prom.
inent and Influential men in the Western
portion of Virginia. He represented
his county repeatedly in the State Leg.
islature and was foremost in caring for
the interests of his section as involved in
legislation at Richmond. At one time
he represented the District, of which
Ohio county was then part, in the low.
er House of Congress. At the breaking
out of the war he cast his lot with the
South, went to Richmond, and, we be,
lieye, never returned after the rebellion
ended. The RAYMOND family to which
he belonged is one of the oldest in the
State, their immediate ancestors HAVING
been the pioneers of the Upper Monon
gahela region. OF General HAYMoSp',
age at the time of his death we are no,
Informed, but he was certainly very fa,
advanced in years.

A wheeling Man in Virginia

We publish this morning highly in
teresting letter In relation to matters
in Virginia. 1t is from the pen of a
Wheeling gentleman, formerly con-
nected with the REGISTER, and we'll
known to all our citizens. The state
ment of Hon. FAYETTE MCMULLIN,
which he gives, relative to the famous
"peace negotiations" between Mr.. LIN
coin and the Confederate authorities,
will be found very interesting. The
facts presented have never before been
made public, and as part of the inside
history of the war are very interest
ing. The character of our correspond
ent, and of his informant, warrants us
in relying upon their accuracy. Our
readers will find this letter well worthy

CROP PROSPECTS.

But, dropping prophecy, let US look
at the present. The prospect for a
splendid crop of wheat in Bedford and
Roanoke was never better at this sea-
son of the year. Several sharp frosts
and severe snow storm on the 1lth and
18th insts., have destroyed the early
fruits in Wythe, Pulaski, Montgom cry
and other counties in this region as well
as in East Tennessee. Most of the farm,
ers in these counties have succeeded
rather better than usual in wintering q
fine lot of cattle and are expecting
handsome returns from their stock.

MATERIAL RESOURCES.

The people of Virginia are growing
tired Of politics and would much rather
talk about crops and cattle and the vast
mineral wealth that lies in the heart of
these mountains awaiting the gleam of
the miners lamp. There is DO richer or
more favored spot on the face of the
earth than is to be found in Southwest
Virginia. The valleys between the
mountain ridges are teeming with lux
uriant vegetation and the mountains
themselves are storehouses of untold
wealth. The time is certainly not far
distant when the "Mother of States and
of Statesmen" forsaking the political
arena, will rival her Northern sisters in
industrial arts, as she has heretofore
excelled them in the halls of legisla-
tion.
