FIELD GLASSES
a Confederate HeroIne.

An incident in the army life of Lieu
tenant General J. r. Gordon, Of the
Army Of Northern Virginia, is going the
rounds of the press in a somewhat mis-
stated form. The correct rendering is
as follows:
The Generals wife followed him
through the war, remaining as close to
his command as circumstances and nom
interference with his duty would permit.
On the day of the battle Of Winchester,
Mrs. Gordon was staying at the house
of friend in the town. By 10 o'clock
in the morning the General. seeing that
the day would probably go against the
Confederate forces, sent message to her
to leave the town at once but as shells
we're then bursting in the streets, she was
not able to get her carriage in readiness.
All day long the Confederate forces,
steadily driven back in disorder, kept
passing through the town. Mrs. Gordon
viewing the sight with what composure
was possible, until she saw troops belong
ing to her husbands corps pass her house
in disorderly retreat. This was too
much for silent observation. The Gen.
eral then commanded Stonewall Jack
sons old corps, and his dash and un-
varying success, thus far, had given him
the name in the army of the "Second
StoncwalI," /" and he could sot realize that
his men had any right to be retreating.
So, with the enthusiasm Of the moment.
she ran into the street and for hours
rallied the flying men and turned hun
dreds back to the front After whiio
the retreat of the Generals command,
which brought up the rear, became, too.
almost route, and az he fell back
through the town he rallied his men at
every street corner for momentary
stand, when suddenly he came into a
most unexpected sight of his wife, who
be supposed was by that time at least
twenty miles in the rear. She was in tho
midst of the retrcatiug troops, where
balls we're flying and shells bursting, and
at that moment had soldier by each
hand whom she was iu the act Of turning
back.-N y. World.

A stone worth ssOO,OOO.

ST. Louis, July 28.-A jacksonville,
Ill, correspondent of the Democrat, says
a suit involving probably million OF
dollars was commenced to day in Morgan
County Circuit Court, by Rebecca W.
Vail, Wm. Ii. Carson, Nancy Roc, Mary
Baker and eight others, against Kitty
Flynn, Thos. NJ Carson, Thos. Roe and
eleven others. The bill alleges that Oh
day too remote to be mentioned with
certainty but about one hundred years
ago one A. NJ. Roe, of the State of Vir-
ginia, became possessed by discovery OF
a certain precious stone, remarkable for
it's hardness and brilliancy, and so far as
has been tested, it's characteristics are
those of a diamond of the first water
that this stone is one and a half inches
IN diameter one way, and something
greater the other way, and is of $500,
600 value, and that this stone is now il
the possession of Tho. NJ. Carson, ol
Jacksonville. The plaintiffs ask that
defendants be compelled to bring this
gem into court, and that receiver be
appointed by the court to sell it and dis
tribute the proceeds among the heias
The value of this stone was but recently
ascertained, although it has been in the
possession of VIM. Roe and heirs over a
century.

Death Of the Mother of the Hon
WIN. Sfanbery.

[Erom the Newark (0.) Advocate, July Il.
Died, in Newark, New Jersey, on the
9TH of July, 1871, Mrs. Francis Finley,
at the great age of 102 years. Her
maiden name was Winans, of the New
Jersey family of that name, relative to
Ross Winans of Baltimore. She was
born in 176S, and was married in 1888,
to the late Dr. Jonas Stanbery (who died
in Zanesville, Ohio. and afterward to
Professor Finley of Princeton college.
Hon. VIM Stanbery OF Newark, Ohio,
now 83 years of age, is her only surviv
ing child, aud made her visit couple
of years ago. Mrs. Finley was lady of
strong intellect and cultivated mind, as
sisting Professor Finley in his studies.
She was personally acquainted with Gen.
Washington, Dewitt Clinton, Washing
ton Irving, Robert Fulton, and many
others of the great aud distinguished
men of her period. Her fathers house
was frequently the resort of generals OF
both armies in the revolution, and she
had vivid memory of all the stirring
events of that period in her vicinity
She was eight years old at the conn.,
mencement, and sixteen at the termina-
ton of the war, and was probably the
last link that connected the present with
the revolutionary history of New York
and vicinity.

NEARLY all of the leading candidates
for the Presidency have been interviewed
by correspondents specially sent out for
that purpose by the New York Herald,
and the result is found IN FIVE OF six solid
columns of that paper. On one point
the Democratic candidates seem to be all
agreed, and that is that the Republicans
will be forced to re nSminate Grant
While he is set down as their only avail
able candidate, it is very plainly intima-
ted that he is not available enough to
be elected The interview with ex- Sen.

The Plague I'm BuenOs Ayers.
IErnn the Rnstnn Innrnal

We are in receipt of pamphlet pub
lished In Buenos Ayres and compiled by
Rev. 7. K. Ash, B. A, chaplain of the
British legation at that city, which gives
minute account of the origin and spread
of the awful plague, now happily at an
end, which ragged in that city from March
%, 1870, to June 8, 1871. The author
remained in the city during all that time.
In view of his experience he says:
''Verily there is nothing more appsll
ing than pestilence, nothing that shows
more foreibly the frail tenure of human
life, and nothing which brings out in
such bold relief the noblest feelings of
the better class of men and the hard
hearted selfshness of Others"
Some idea Of 1.-The terrible fatality of
the epidemic may be gathered in this ex
tract:
''At the commencement of the present
year our population was a little over
fed during the epidemic, more than TO-
600 others perished, and at one period,
while there hardly remained 40, 900 peo-
pie in the town, the number of sick ex-
ceeded 1000, and the mortality ranged
from 400 to 600 per day-more than /
per cent Of the inhabitants"
Mr.. Ash devotes a chapter to the origin
and causes of the plague. It's perusal
inclines one to wonder not only at the
long delay in the terrible visitation, but
that the mortality did not reach the limit
of complete determination. The city, it
appears, was reeking with filth the
stencil when the wind blew from the
south occasioned vomiting; and the
etfuvia from the ''vasurs," or stuff from
the scavenger's cart, causing the whole
city to steam like a dunghill whenever a
hot sun came after fall of rain. While
the city was thus fermenting and steam
ing "the water of the river Plate was so
poisoned by the liquid from the Riach-
uelo that the dead fish covered the road
side and river as high as Palermo; yet
this same water was what the citizens of
Buenos Ayres had to drink" Add to
all this the fact that there was an utter
lack of draining facilities, that the water
after licking up the garbage and filth of
the streets run into stagnant wells which
honeycomb the whole city, and it will be
seen that state Of affairs more conducive
to pestilence could hardly be devised.

THE HICKMAN COURIER,
NEXT Monday is the day of election.
Next Monday is the election tn,

NEXT Monday is the election the
most important one, perhaps ever held
in Kentucky-not only is it important
to Kentucky, Individually, as State, but
the influence that will be exerted by it
on the National election to come off next
year makes its importance so great.
That the election on the 7th of next
August, in Kentucky, will have ma
terial and perhaps controlling Influence
on that election no one can doubt.
Hence the almost superhuman exertions
that are being put forth by the radical
party in this State; not that they have
any hope of succeeding in electing any
part of the State ticket, or the hope OF
electing but few members to the Sen
ate or House of representatives., but do
hope to decrease the democratic majority
in the State; and, if they succeed in
doing so, it will have its influence, and,
to be honest, we have great fears that
they may succeed that far.
Therefore it is incumbent on every
Democrat in the State to support, by his
influence, and by his vote, the man chosen
by the party as their standard bearer.
When a man has been nominated by
the party, every man who is opposed to
the doctrines of Radicalism should for
get the little animosities of the past, and
vote, not so much for the man, as for the
principles he has been chosen to rep
resent.
The Hickman courier., 1871-08-05

We understand that the Radicals Of
the District are generally supporting
Clark; that when Hale was alone an
uouneed as a candidate, they talked of
running DR.. Landrum as candidate of
their own, but as soon as Clark was an
nounced as candidate, the idea was
abandoned, and DIR. Landrum, the pro
posed Radical candidate, is now throw
ing all his influence for Clark - C0IaBs-
bus Dispatch.
All we ask of the good people of
Hickman and Fulton counties is, to give
to Bill Clark fair and free fight. The
cry that the Radicals will vote for CLARK,
is started too late in the day to hurt
Clark is not Radical, but is as good a
Democrat as Maj. Hale. There is no
one here that knows how the Radical
vote will be cast. 1t may be for Clark
or for Hale. They will vote as they
think best, and it is wrong to create the
impression just before the election, that
Clark will receive the Radical vote. We
only hope he may receive it. If he don't
Maj. Hale will-Aagfeyd Democrat.

THE crowd assembled in Mayfield on
Wednesday last, was by far the largest
we ever have seen in Mayfeld. Men
were here from every portion of the
county, and we took particular pains to
learn what we could in regard to the
Senatorial race between Maj. Hale and
Capt. Clark, and we cannot be mistaken
as to the indications. We can now with
great confidence claim 500 majority in
Graves for Clark This feeling is brought
about by no unkind feelings towards Maj
Hale, for all acknowledge that he is a
high toned gentleman, and clever man.
and good citizen, but because it is be-
lieved that Clark, under all circumstances
would better discharge the duties OF
State Senator; nor do we remember to
have seen as much interest manifested
in any contest as this one between them.
They both have warm personal friends
who are working with all the ability they
can command for success; and the per-
sonal relation of both Hale and Clark is
of such high character as to make their
respective friends work.-MGZffeLd Demo
