d ear Freeman--Yuur correspondent has
been doing the extreme north of the county
during the week past, at the tail end OF
surveyors chain aud although we cannot
conscientiuuSiy recommend this as superior
plan for the observ alton OF the couatry, par
ticiIiarly at this season Of the year, yet much
valuable information may be gathered IN re-
gard to the extensive and almost uninhabitcd
townships lying north Of US. We were en-
gagged for the greater part ofFthe week in
hunting up lines on the '.Walliss lands'-
the original survey of large number OF
tracts in that section. These surveys were
made about the year 1892, and the owners
net the usual fate of those who are so un-
fortunate as to acquire too much iaud with
out sufficient capital to back them. A
gentleman named Mcconnell. resident OF
Philadelphia, became burety for the Walliss
company, and when they failed he found
himself the owner Of about IL 900 acres OF
land in Cambria and CleaTfeld counties,
which was at that time considered of but
little value. M'Connell died shortly after
securing possession Of this immense body of
land, having never personally visited it, 10
the year 1924 Mrs. Moon nell, his widow,
came to this county and settled about nine
miles north of this place. adjacent to the lit
tie village now known as Glen Connell.
here house WAS erected for her, the doors
and win dows of which were packed Lehce
from Philadelphia. and in the vicinity she
persuaded several families to loCate--amung
others, Richard PToudfoot, the elder. No
doubt she hoped to eventually see her lands
settled and their value increased. but though
inducements were offered. few cared to pen
citrate the then wilderness, and shortly after
the marriage of her daughter to John G.
Miles. Esq, now of Huntington, she gave
up her hopeless task of peopling those wild
acres aud removed with her son-in law to
Huntington, where she died. Her former
residence. known as the ''Oid Glen Council
House," is located on the farm now owned
by Mr.. John Seope, but l notice this old
landmark is being demolished by the present
proprietor. As l intend shortly to give
your readers detailed history of the carly
settlement of the country north Of Us / viii
not say anything more about my work as
''clerk to surveyor" until am prepared
to write at length upon this subject.
Mr. Henry Blum Of this place will give .
grand ball at his hall. on Thursday evening
thanksgiving. Oysters and other refresh
ments will be served. aud everybody and

No Rebels.

The Tennessee version of the Interview
between General GRANT and Governor SEN

the General that there were no rebel votes
cast in Tennessee. This was both proper
and true. There are no "rebels" any
where in the South. The term is used Tor
party purposes. The small body oil
strangers and native whites who, under
the system of prescription of nearly all
southern white people, have been, by negro
votes or military appointments, put INFO
Office, have been anxious to remain IN ONCE
drawing support from those who were pro-
scribed. So it has been their policy to con-
tinue the prescription as long as possible
and foster the distinction between them
selves and the prescribed by calling them
selves "truly loil" and the prescribed
"rebels." The persons thus foisted upon
the South have not desired that the number
Of rebels should be diminished. They ex-
erted al their power of Misrepresentation
to satisfy the northern people that they
we're rather increasing than diminishing,
and that the truly loil " had no security
outside of an office. Their feigning is
nearly, if not quite, played out. They will

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER l6, 1869.
The Senators.

Upon deliberate examination OF the
question, we conclude that it would be en-
tirely proper for the Legislature which is to
assemble on the 9Th proximo to elect the
United States senators from Virginia.
There is nothing in Mr.. HoAR's opinion
which prohibits the Legislature from doing
so, and the delegation of representatives
in Congress will not be complete unless the
senators ere elected. We are bound to
consider that Congress intended that it
should be completed by their election.
It would be decidedly better for Virginia
to enter the capitol with her full represen,
tation. and it would be anomalous for her
10 appear in the House and not in the Sc
nate.
IA great advantage arising from the cleo
ton of senators next month will be that the
exciting topic will be disposed of, and the
Legislature, when it comes together after
the restoration of the State, will be freed
from the vexatious question of national po-
litics, and may devote its whole lahors to
the local interests of Virginia. Indeed,
there will be little else for the next two
years to divert its attention from the urgent
claims of the State.
The whole subject of reconstruction has
been conducted upon the blended basis Of
duty and policy-duty to our State and
country; and policy, in so acting as to re-
move MS far as possible ali caTilling and
doubt as to our purposes.
If we but follow out this programme, i'll
the pursuit Of which, thus far, there has
not been committed a single blunder, the
addition of the senators to our representa-
ton will only give consequence and force
to the appearance of Virginia in her place
in the capitol. We are bound by the spirit
and policy of the Walker party, and very
solemn implied pledges to the Administra-
ton; and if We faithfully adhere to these
VIC cannot doubt but that Virginia will be
promptly admitted, and take her place
amidst the general welcome of the nation.

FANNY FERNS husband, JAMES PARTON,
writes wishy-washy letter to the New

slanderous article upon Lord BYRON. His
strongest point (what the rest arc may be

better qualified to judge as to questions OF
taste and propriety than her critics.
