OutcropPing Sentiment.

On Tuesday OF last week, Senator Me
Creery of Kentucky, made speech III
favor of aresoluti )n, introduced by him
self, to dig up the 1900 Union soldiers
buried on the Gen. Lee estate in order 10
return the land to the possession oi
Lees widow. The resolution fell SO
like a bombshell into the assembly OF
grave Senators, that they could scarcely
credit the evidences of their senses.
Members, who usually pay no attention
to anybody's speeches heard him
throughout. The Senate was silent ior
some moments after he ceased speaking.
So much Indignation was manifested to-
ward the resolution together with the
scathing speeches in reply by Sumner,
Trlmbull aud others, that even the
Democratic side of the house became
ashamed of it, and only 4 voted in favor
of the resolution TO 81 against.
The Cincinnati Gazette thinks that in
the Senate's prompt and indignant re-.
lection of McCreeIy's proposition, more
was intended than a rebuae to a dema-
gogue. 1t was distinct affirmation blythe
highest legislative body OF the land, an
tic;pating the verdict of history, that to
Robert E. Lee no other place can be as
signed than that of traitor: that TO the
soldiers who fought under the Confed-
crate flag the nation may offer forgive
ness, but it can never offer honor"

WAR NE wS

Since last week the condition of aft
airs in France has not materially chang
eI. Late reports seem TO indicate that
Paris will hold out longer than was ex
pec:ed. They claim provisions for three
months yet. Some of the sorties from
the city have been successful. Bismarck
is willing for peace at the co Of the
Republican Government i'll France
Havre is well defended and Moltke
fears the formation of an army in the
south OF France. The delay in the BON
bardment of Paris is caused partially by
the quarrel brtween Gems. Blumenthal
and Won Room. The latter wished tC
use the army horses TO bring up guns
while the former insisted that it Wa
i'm possible to spare them. Won RooI
finally yielded and 1000 horses are now
coming from Germany to drag the siege
guns from the railway terminus. The
condition of the roads is fearful. Food. Ii
very scarce in the German camps ant
some OF the troops have been without
meat for three days.

WITHOUT AN ENEMy.-Heaven help
the man who imagines he can dodge
enemies by trying to please everybody.
If such all individual ever succeeded, We
should be glad of it-not that one should
be going through the world trying TO
find beams to knock and thump his
Sead against, disputing every mans
DOE ion, fighting and elbo wing. and
elbowing, and crowding all who differ
with him. That, again, is another ex
treme. Other people have right to their
opinlons-so have you; don't fall into
the error of supposing they will respect
you more for turning your coat every
day to match the color of theirs. Wear
your own colors in spite Of winds and
weather, storms and sunshine. 1t costs
the vaciIlating and irresolute ten times
the trouble to wind and shuttle and
twist, that it does hon.,st, manly lnde-
pendence to stand its ground.

emporium not of the great West but OF
the extended valley of said creek to
and through which, all The productions
OF the most fertile aud wealthy part of
our county must pass, consequently We
DO some business; we lave no Railroad
and don't want the County Seat for fear
thereby the peace and harmony OF our

large Dry goods and two grocery hard

Wheeling prices; also two groceries of a
smaller order. Our. enterpiising Doctor,
7. II. Armstrong is just opening up a
first class retail Drug store where the
sick or afflicted can get the best of coun-
sci as we'll as good cheap medicine. We
have also large Woolen msnufactory
which turns out flannels, jeans. satinets,
&c, equal to the best, and as for the
trades they are all fully repre- sented in a
first class manner; we have one school
and churches. BY the way, the friends
of the Presbyterian sabbath school are
preparing for FESTIVAL. for the purpose
of getting Bell for their church-Uery
kdudabie, and tie friends of the NJ. f

churches, in fact. We have one Minister.
two Physicians, and one first class hotel
over which ourgenial landlord prssides
in such manner as to make the greatest
stranger feel perfectly at home, and
lastly am sorry to say two places
where little of the ardent can be had.
So you see, Mr.. Editor, situated as we
are down in this lonely nook of the
County. bordering on the Sta:e of Mon
roe, we are prepared to supply the wants
of auy that may call or may pass-by.
