WHY Governor Letcher's House was
Burned.


After alluding to General Fizhugh
Lees correspondence with Governor
Letcher, relative to General Thomas
the Lexington Gazette adds:
If we are not mistaken, there are
others in the United States army who,
among the faithful only they" to the
pay and perquisities Of promised promo,
ton, will have their gaudy feathers
plucked off by the truth. The, time
has not come yet for the publication OF
their disgusting opportunities for places
in the "Rebel army" The effort to de-
stroy the evidence of their shame by
burning the private residence of Cover,
nor Letcher, and with it all Of his pa
pers, was in keeping with their lofty
patriotism The placing guards around
his house under the pretence of protec
ton, the repeated assurances of promi
nent officers Of Hunters army nothing
should be molested, the sudden occupa
ton of the building by soldiers prepared
with all the necessary material for a
rapid and complete conhagration, the
forcible refusal for any article to leave
the rooms-all had deep but plain in
tent-reducing to ashes the proof Of
the personal infamy OF some Moral
Heroes" in the "Grand Army
"Since the war one Of the chief otficers
of Hunters command has had the
honesty or effrontery to tell Ex-Goyer
nor Letcher his house was burned tc
prevent unpleasant developments.

The Weser and the EIbe.

The mouths OF these important rivers,
it is reported have been closed by. the
sinking of hulks. The point at which
the Instructions have been placed is not
stated, but must he high up the river,
and probably only calculated to defend
the city of Bremen. The Weser, which
drains large area, is $50 miles
long, and is navigable for boats nearly
to its source, for vessels drawing seven
feet of water to Bremen, and Tor yes
sells drawing fifteen feet to Vegesack.
Ships of large SIZE however, ascend no
further than Bremerhaven, which is
thirty-miles north of Bremen, and is
situated on the estuary of the Weser.
This estuary, by which communlca-
ton with. the North Sea is obtained, is
twenty miles long and twelve miles
wide. At Bremerhaven, established as
an outport in 1920 by Hanover, there
are an outer harbor, a sluiced dock,
and an inner harbor The difference
between the lowest ebb and the highest
flood tide is twenty-six feet, but the
average is about ten feet Another i'm
portant station on the Weser is Jahde,
formerly belonging to the Duchy OF
Oldenburg, but which was purchased
bv Prussia in 1854 for the sum OF
S35O,O00, on the faith of old surveys
made in ISL, when it was selected as
q naval station by Napoleon |. In
1858 Prussia commenced building and
fortifying navy yard on an extensive
scale, which is now nearly completed.
The Elbe, on which, about seventy
miles from its mouth, the much fire.
quented port of Hamburg is situated,
is also being DISTRACTED This river,
three hundred and ninety-five miles
long, is fourteen miles wide at its mouth
and the estuary is encountered with
sandbankS, but vessels drawing fourteen
feet can ascend to Hamburg. Under
the above conditions, Instructions must
be placed high up both the above rivers
but it may be stated that 10y the reno
val OF the buoys, the extinguishment o
the lights and the absence OF pilots, thC
navigation will be extremcly difficult
The channels are continually changing
by the violence OF the currents, and th'
danger of running aground is constant

The mortality from sunstrokes during
the last ten or twelve days has been. al
most without parallel. There have
been as many as thirty-fve deaths in a
single day in the city Of New York
from this cause alone, which partially
indicates the trying heat through which
we have been passing 1T must be re-
membered, too, that the actual number
of recorded deaths, traceable directly to
the heat, represents only a fraction of
the injury to health and life which the
weather has occasioned. The ratio of
sunstrokes to sickness Of less decided
type, but resulting from the heat, does
not perhaps exceed one to a hundred,
while the unfavorable effect produced
upon persons already i'll is incalculable.
Startling as is the exceptional record of
mortality then, it affords no criterion OF
the suffering endured or the injury
which has really been inflicted. The
effect Of excessive heat upon the nervous
system is always unfavorable.

..The Best soldier i'm France

The 4rmy and Nayy Journal OF the
23d makes the following assertion
Gas Won Moltke was hardly known to
the readers out of Prussia anterior to
the splendid campaign which ended at
Sadowa, the man to whose brain will
be due whatever of successful strategy
shall characterize the French arms in
the coming war is as yet unnamed.
General Louis Jules Trochu is to-day
undeniabIy the best soldier of France.
He is now fifty-fve years of age;
A graduate of the Staff School
of St. Cyr, he was made lieutenant
in 1910, and promoted to a captalncy
in 1916. His first staff service was
with that fine soldier Buguead in Alge,
ria. Chef d'escadron and Major in
1916, and Lieutenant-Colonel in 1858,
his first European service was in the
Italian campaign. At the commence
ment of the Crimean war, he was made
chief of the general staff, and by refer
ence to Kinglakes History it will be
seen that in all conferences with Lord
Raglan, Trochu, rather than st. Ar
maud or Conrobert, was spokesman on
the part of France. Throughout the
campaign, having been made general OF
brigade in 1854, he occupied this posi-
ton of confidential staff officer Of the
commander-in-chief an office analogous
to that of Gneisenau under Blucher,
given in just recognition of his military
ability and skill. In 1864 he reached
his grade of general of division. Two
wears after he was charged with
the preparation Of plan to reorganize
the army. Instead of, as has been sug-
gested, lacking the imperial confidence,
he has it in the most flattering degree.
His essay upon organization, u Armee
Franchise, published in 1867, ran
through ten editions. Trochu is known
to have anticipated the event of war
with Prussia. A recent pamphlet from
his pen, which unfortunately cannot be
obtained in this country, develops an
immense deal of study of the Rhenish
frontier as a fighting field, and palpably
indicates the national impulse as occu-
pying the strategist mind. Should the
war survive its first battle a fortnight
and promise, as seems very likely; to be
a long one, Trochu's name may chance
to appear at the head of the French ar
mics.

Our State election occurs one week
from next Tuesday. VIII not the free
men Of the State bear this sufficiently in
mind to give it proper attention ? And
though it is really no less a duty tochoose
good men to office at all times, however
often they are to be elected, the impor-
lance this year is somewhat increased
from the fact that we now elect our
senators, representatives, county officers,
justices Of the peace, DC, for two years
instead Of one. Let the people make a
note Of this, and exercise more than usu-
al care in electing good and sound men
to office. Above all see that town rep
resentatives are elected who will insist
upon making the legislature itself an ex.
ample of economy.
