AT THE MEMORIAL CELEBRA-
TON

At Resaca on the 2Sth ult., our
Townsman Gen. PHILLIPS delivered
a stirring and eloquent address and
one that should be entirely unexcep-
tionable to all persons who honestly
supported the 'Lost Cause" believing
it ODE judicious and politically right.
If secession was abstractly right and
proper when it took place, it is now
and must remain abstractly right as
long as we preserve Constitutional
Government.
We belong to a small class of South
erners however, who may take excep-
ton to the speech. We have ever
differed with the General, having had
doubts of the rightfulness of secession
having ever believed it to be an
act of madness, unpromising in its
inception and likely to prove disas-
trous in its results and in no way,
whether a success or failure worthy
of the sympathy it met with in the
South. Now the General said he had
no sympathy for those who did not
willingly support the cause. Perhaps
he did not mean to say so much
We can sympathise with him in
mourning the sacrifice of human life
though we may believe that the wild
carnival of blood was unwisely
brought about. He may mingle his
tears with ours, over the sacrifice
however wild and reckless We may
have regarded the politicians who
brought it about.
Since Gen. Toombs has confessed
Secession "a great mistake" those
who acted with him would do well
to cease denouncing those who la
mented the false step, and sympa-
thise with their efforts to preserve
some relic of those liberties now fol-
lowing so rapidly as sequences the
fortunes of the ''lost cause"

perfectly satisfied that the thing is

legitimate duties, there are enough
good and true men in all Southern
States to put down all Ku-Klax or
other bands of murderers."

Prince Napoleon has givon 'f2O,-
600 for a house at Lancaster Gate,
for which, with judicious forethought
he contrived to save the choicest fur
niture, pictures, and objects of art
that once glittered at Meudon and
the Palais Royal. 1t sounds incredi-
BILE, and yet it is nevertheless true,
that he alone of all the imperial en-
touyage, had the sense to sniff the
coming danger from afar, and, while
vet the sky was comparatively clear,
TO prepare for the impending storm.
He is said to have sold his estate and
chateau in Switzerland to Mr.. Lucas,
the contractor, for 100000, and
having tried all chimes and zones he
seems to have made up his mind
that about the safest place to settle
in, as times go, is the north side OF
Hyde Park.

A DetermLned Indian FLghter.

A correspondent OF the Chicago 7ri,
buae gives graphic description of m In'
dian fighter He says;
At Fort d. ]. Russell, near Cheyenne
which is no fort at all, butmerely beau:i-
full village oi barracks, officers quarters,
cottages, and long green lawn, where a
band ol music plays every EVENING"
heard an account OF IN officer celebrated
for Indian prowGss. The subject was the
war in Arizona and Crooks substitution
for StOneman. "Oh, Indian hunting Is
Crooks speciality" says one. THE fact
is, Crook Is nothing but an Indian any
way, mean that his mind, physiOgnO.
my and education are all Indian, Look
at his iacG-the high cheek bones, the
contour of the skull, and his manners
stolid, separate, adverse TO talk
He is perfect Indian in endurance,
He can take his gun and cross the desert,
subsistlng on the way, where you and
would slarve. Perfectly selEreliant for
any venture, delighted with lonely travel
and personal hazard, carrying nothing but
his arms, he will walk after trail all
day, and when night comes, no matter
how cold, he wraps himself in an Indian
blanket, bumped up, Indian fashion, and
pitches into heap OF sage.bush, there to
be perfectly easy till morning, He will
follow an antelope for three days, lie re.
Quires nothing to drink or smoke, and
very little to eat. Abstemious, singular,
utterly ignorant OF fear, and yet stealthy
rs Il cat, he rejOlCes in exile, Is shy of wo.
men and strangers; and when he was a
cadet he had all the same traits. The
other day he departed for Arizona with
one soldier, his rifle and two clean shirts
the latter no took only to be presenta.
BILE on the steamer. i@ 'M 5....f..
His style is TO hunt continuous hiding
places by day for his command and move
them upon tho Indians by night, and he
can Outwit the kOenest Indians In the
country. When he was In command In
Oregon, his wife, who had taken the re.
sponsihility Of following him, although
herself gently reared, shared his quarters
out in the wilderness. Crook did not
have ten dollars worth Of furniture in his
quarters Sometimes he would remark
"Wcll, I'm going oil" And hO would be
gone week, perhaps, scouting, and re.
turn just when he liked, his wife saying
nothing. II Crook don't get killed, he'll
clean out the Apaches, provided the poll.
ticians let him alone. He ought to be
kept In command there In Arizona TIL the
Apache question Is ended"

From The RavuhAWOOu News,
Judge Ferguson, and we venture to
say, all the prime movers Of the COnven.
tiOn scheme, want to restore tho old Coul.
ty Courts Of Virginia, abolish the Town.
ship system, and provide In the proposed
new Constitution for the construction OF
railroad and canals by borrowing money,
The bare statement ot these facts ought
to be sufficient TO make every man in West
Virginia vote against the Convention.
Tho County Court, as we all know, had
an unlimited civil, and q restricted but
yet an extensive criminal Jurisdiction.
You might sue man In II on an account
or note for u million Of dollars, and your
case might involve points Of law which
would puzzle the mind Of Chief Justice
Chase. We ask any reasonable man, If Il
was possible for the Judges Of the old
County Courts TO understand such case,
or intelligently dispose Of one.tenth of
the business which came before them !
They did not know the distinction between
civil and criminal law, between an indict.
ment and declaration, between ejectment
and assumption between subpoena and a
verbena. They we're generally good, re.
spectacle farmers or mechanics, who had
but little more knowledge Of the science
Of Jurisprudence than had the mules on
which they rode 10 the country seat. And
yet Ferguson, Walker, Baker & Co., wish
to restore the County Courts. Voters

which we will soon have debt piled up.
