The subjoined testimonial from thai
practical gentleman Prof. Winston of
Kings College is from a source which
will render unnecessary an extended
notice from us. "Thc Farmers Book
or "How to make the Farm pay has
been advertised in our columns and
can be had of Zeigler McCurdy X Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa, and should adorn
the library of every farmer in the
land.

Its articles on drainage, stock ana theiI
diseases, ON the garden, the orchardi

valuable on these subjects. IL Is, IN

The azimuth, or direction OF me
line, from East to West monument, is
so, 81, 5l", or North $50, OS/, 09|
West, true.
1t will be perceived that the direc-
ton of the Middle line, the present
acknowledged boundary, is nearly two
degrees north of u due west course, and
if this direction should have been =
tinued to the Cumberland Mountains
very large wedge of Virginia terrific
ry must have been cut off. In fact, we
find from the numerous and reliable
observations made for latitude, in 1859,
at Ncwlie's sulphur spring, at or close
to the Cumberland Gap, as published
in the Report of the Commissioners
appointed TO work the boundary line
between the States of Kentucky and
Tennessee that the Southwest corner
Of Virginia is situated in latitude 36o,
36i, OO.04|, or O., 81" North OF the true
line.
According TO the observations made
in connection with the survey of the
coast OF the United States, the correct
latitude OF the line where it crosses
Knott's Island, situated about three
miles west of the site of old Currituck
Inlet, is 36o, 33', l5//, and not 36', 3D.
as determined in l72S; and the correct
latitude of the line, west of the Ale
ghany Mountains, where It. separates
G. )odson from Bristol, is 36o, 1873 rs
not 81, 81 upon which parnliel il was
intended by all the parties interested
that the line should be run. These
discrel ancics are not matter OF sur
prise in view of the defective method
adopted for tracing the parallel; of the
inferior class of astronomical and sur
veying instruments employed by the
old surveyors, and of the more than
probable errors committed in running
the line, due, i'm part, to want of care
in determining the magnetic variation.
From the data already presented, il
may be fairly inferred that If the diff
fcrcnt surveys had been conducted ms
they would be to-day, the State of Nir-
ginia would now include within its
limits, at least 800 square miles OF adj
ditioual territory.
A sketch of the triangulatiOn, and
the computations of the triangle sides,
latltudes, longitudes and azimuths, are
attached TO this report.

following. This line Is neither on the
parallel of 1852 30', nor midway be-
tween the Walker and Henderson
lines, and yet it must be recognized as
the law directs, as the true, certain
and real boundary between the two
States.n
owing, however, to the lapse of time,
this line has become "indistinct. un-
certain and to some extent unknown. -
and i'm consequence thereof. Virginia.
i'm 1859, appointed Commissioners to
again run and mark said line.n In
lSoS, the state of Tennessee responded
to the Virginia legislation by author
lzlng the appointment of Commissions
ers for similar purpose, and also, the
organization of n Field Party to consist
of an Engineer and Surveyor to be
well qualified to make said survey up
on scientific principles This last
direction would appear 10 confer an
indirect but very necessary authority
To run new line, i'm case the old one
could not be identified. The Commits
sioners duly reported their proceedings
ana acts to their respective States. In
1850, Virginia disapproved of and re-
JGcted the line thus re-run and marked,
anu by the same resolution of the Cen
eral Assembly, the Governor was en-
powered to appoint one or more Com
missioners to again run the boundary
as defined in the statute of January
I'D, 1903. This is the last act of legis-
lation referring to the boundary line
between Virginia and Tennessee, and
from this it has been inferred that the
location of the line has not been def
nitely settled.

Henderson and Walker lines at points
situated respectively North and South

HE PROPOSES TO STRIKE /" \
GOOD, HARD BLOW, WHERE
IT HURTS - OFFICIAL RE.
PORT OF THE EXPEDITION.
WASHINGTON, March SIT appears,
from official documents sent to the
House of Representatives to-day, that
on the first of October last Lieut.. Gen.
Sherman wrote to Adjutant-Gcneral
Townsend as follows:
We have had so few troops i'm Mon
| tana on account of the expiration of
| enlistments as to be unable to do much
against these marauders. but the regi-
mcnts are now filling up, and | think
it would be the best plan to let me find
| out exactly where these Indians are
going to spend the Winter, and about
the time of good heavy snow | Will
| send out party and strike them.-
About the 10Th of January they will
be very helpless, and il where they live
is not too far from Fort Shaw or Fort
Ellis, we might be able to give them a
good, hard blow, which will make
peace de- irable object instead Of sim-
ply keeping the troops on the dcfcn-
sivc. While not stopping The marau-
ders we must occasionally strike them
where it hurts, and if the General-in-
Chief thinks well of this | will try
and steal a small force on these tribes
from Fort Shaw or Fort Ellis during
the Winter They number about 800,
! men, women and children, all told.
Adjutant-Gcn. Townsend replied:
Referring to your communication of
the 2lst ult., relative to the depreda-
tions by the Piegan Indians in Mon
tana, | have to inform you that your
proposed action, as stated therein, for
the punishment of these marauders.
has been approved by the General of
the Army.
The result of the expedition against
the Indians is thus officially stated in
a communication to Gen. Sully, dated
Helena, Montana, Feb. 6:
or the l73 killed 80 were men. OF
these 10 only such as are called by
them young, or fighting men. These
were between the ages of - and 81;
the remaining IL were between the
ages of 81 aud 10 eight of the latter
between go and 20; 80 were women.-
The remaining so were children, none
of them aged l2 years, and many of
them in their mothers arms. Out of
2l9 Indians belonging to Red Horns
camp, only 46 survived. Among them
are nine young mon who escaped du-
ring the attack. and five were away
hunting. The lives of Is women and
children, none of them more than three
years of age, and the majority Of them
much younger, some of whom were
wounded, were spared by the soldiers.
Red Horn himself was Killed.
At the time of the attack this camp
was suffering severely with swall-poX,
having had it among them for for two
months, the average rate of deaths
among them having been six daily
The remnant of the Piegan Indians,
with the exception of one band, upon
hearing ofthe annihilation ofRedHorns
band and fearing they might be called
upon to share similar fate, broke up
their camp and fled. II Is impossible
as yet to arrive at just conclusion as
to the real feeling. The punishment
they have received at the hands of the
soldiers has certainly spread terror
among them. Still il Is hardly to he
expected that they will be satisfied with
out the revenge that an Indian nat al
ly Graves.

appointment, intended resisting any

Successors were elected by the people,
as they held the Enabling Act, deciar-
ing the offices vacant To be unconsti-
tuuonal. Last night, the City Council
appointed by Gov. Walker under the
Enabling act, elected Henry X. Ellison,
Mayor, and chose new chief ana cap
tains of police. This morning about
daylight the new Chief of Police, Ma
jor John Poe, applied at the lower sta
tion-house for possession, but was re-
fused. Latter in the day; Mayor Eli
son applied by letter to Mayor Cahoon
claiming hc was i'm office by law and
would not yield until elected by pro-
cess from Court. CahOon who had
possession of the lower station house
proceeded TO swear i'm special constables
to the number of 100 including about
20 cOlored men. Ellison then proceeded
TO swear in about 300 special officers,
and at | o'clock surrounded the lower
statiOn-hOuse, where Cahoon ana MS
special officers are, the plan being oar
rest any of them who come out. Mayor
Ellison has possession of the City Hall,
and all the other public buildings eX-
cept the station houses which are held
by the opposite party. The old police
force is divided about equally between
two Mayors. There is now crowd OF
1900 blacks and whites congrcgated
about the lower station-house, which
is the point of interest. Mayor Cahoon
