+ The Poor woman's Party.

Mr.. EDITOR: t'The 'robber band" ("
headed by the Ohio Governor of sour
beloved State" in this hour of their
extremity, make plaintive appeals to the
poor whites to join in with the freedmen,
and aid in retaining them in power, foras-
much as these poor whites have been
liberated by the war for tho Union,
from bondage quite as oppressive as
was the bondage of tho negroes. They
assert that theirs is the poor mans
party. This writer con go further and
say that it is also the poor qcon,an's
party. Proof: There is living near this
city very poor aoioloar, who has one son
about thirteen years of nge, that is sadly
afflicted. and also an afflicted grown-up
daughter. This widow is so extremely
poor that she is unable to buy meat for
herself and family. Like many other
poor people, both white and black, she
was unable last summer to paj her
part OF the taxes necessary to be wrung
from our impoverished people, in order
that the wealthy Ohio NJ. D. might be
reimbursed for that munifcent invest
ment that lie made of ten cents on the
dollar, in currency, for gold interest
bearing bonds on ''our beloved State"
which Investment was made for the dis
Interested purpose Of giving credit to
the State. A few weeks ago, one of the
tax-gatherers repaired to the house of
this poor widow, to collect her tax,
(Sl.76.) She had no money; and this
cormorant was SO friendly to the poor
widow, that he was actually going to
bring her mattress to town and put it up
at auction. in order to raise the $1.75
tax money for her. Hefinally concluded
that ne would rather not be at so much
trouble, and agreed to leave it, upon the
condition that she should come to town
next day and beg the SITS from the
charitably-disposed people of the city.
This she did, and thus contributed her
mite" to the reimbursement fund.
The name of this poor woman can be
forthcoming, if the responsible parties
dare deny the truth of the foregoing
statement ALPHA.

AN OLD WAR HoRsE.-We saw at Mill
wood, in Mason County, recently, stall
lion whose war record is worthy Of special
note. He was originally owned by Gen.
Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, and
was rode by that officer on number of
occasions. Some time during the war
Gen. a. presented him to Gen. John
Morgan, and that noted chieftain rode
him in some of his memorable cam
paigns. The animal escaped the perils
OF battle until Morgan's forces reached
Cynthlana, when, at the engagement at
that place. he was shot in three places,
and he still bears the scars. On Nor
gan's retreat he took one of the horses
OF DR.. Dobyas, of Sardis, and left his
wounded charger in his stead. DIR. d.
properly cared for him until his wounds
healed, and afterward sold him to Dick
Lee, of Fleming, for $500, though he is
kept by James ". Alexander, of the
same county. No amount of money
could now buy him, Mr.. Lee says.
Though the battle-scarred steed is twen-
ty-6ve years old, lie is still feet of foot.
and holds his head as high as he did in
his younger days. Since the war he took
premiums at several fairs in Ohio before
1t was known that he had been ''rebel"
horse, but when that became known the
directors of the fairs refused to allow
him to enter the rings. He is indeed a
good old rebel "war hoss," and his ca
reer should be recorded in some "histo-
ry Of the rebellion. Carlisle Mercuru
