General JubaI A. Early.

The Lynchburg Tirgini0n publishes
letter from General Early, in which he de-
fines his position in the present campaign
in unmistakable terms.
We have never had doubt as to the
course General Early would pursue when
he was called upon to decide between Gree
ley and Grant. There are some men whose
actions under given circumstances can be
foreseen with almost absolute certainty.
General Early belongs emphatically to this
class of men. He is sure to do the thing
that it is right for au honest man, patriot
and d gentleman to do.
The following extract from his letter
presents his views as to the proper thing
for Southern men to do in the present po-
litical struggle:
elf my opinion is of any weight with my
old comrades and friends of the lower ' al
ley, my advice to them is to vote with their
party and their friends, and thus keep the
State out of the hands of the vile herd that
is anxious to prey on her vitals ; and this
advice l would give to all my old comrades
and friends in the State. If there are any
of them who have sworn in their wrath
that they will never vote for Greeley and
Brown, let them tear their names from the
ticket, and vote for the ticket of native Vir-
ginians, headed by those true and noble

Another Fraud,

There are rumors that the Washington
themselves out of tho money to be paid by
Great Britain to the United States under
the award Of the late Geneva Tribunal of
Arbitration. Indeed, if all reports be true,
the private claimants and lawful owners OF
that fund will get only small share. One
report says that four millions Of the award
ed sum belongs to the Government but
how or why this is so, no explanation is
given. There is nothing in the text Of the
award as we have it, to sanction such a
claim. Another rumor indicates that the
Insurance Companies will get nothing.
The reason assigned for this is that these
Companies charged premiums when they
took the risks on the vessels destroyed
by the Confederate cruisers. The fact,
however, is that these Companies paid to
the shippers and to the owners of these
vessels the losses incurred and took from
them full assignments of their claims. If
this does not put the insurers in theirplaces,
1t will be rather queer law and queerer
justice. 1t is said that about one-half of
the whole award belongs in this way to the
Insurance Companies. Retain this in the
Treasury in addition to the four millions of
dollars said to be due to the Government
On some imaginary claim, and it will leave
only about twenty-five per cent. of the Ori-
ginal award to go to any one outside of the
ring!
The New \ ork Journal Of Commerce, a
paper unusuallyIcautious andreliable in its
statements, declares its conviction that
there is preconcerted attempt to prepare
the public mind to accept these alleged
government views as the correct ones-es-
peeialiy that view which denies the law
fulness of the claims assigned to the Insur-
ance Companies for losses paid by them.

RATEs-OF ADVERTIsTNG.

her story. lie had thereupon provided
her o furnished room in quiet part of the
city, and taken upon himself the task of
paying her expenses.
She became very much attached to her
stranger "friend" and grew TO love him
with an idOlatry that met a cruel shock
when he found himself compelled by finan-
cial stress to give up his beautiful mistress
and consiSn her to the only fate whose
portals were yet open to receive her,
She then became an inmate of one of the
numerous resorts of the half world, where
she soon became favorite and belle.
This was last spring. A short time ago a
young man came here from Cincinnati,
and being of festive turn of mind, as
most of Cincinnati young men are, he
went out with a small but select party of
friends to see Kansas City by gaslight.-
Taking in all the sights of course involved
a visit to the resort in question, and, on
entering the parlor, the festive young man
from the city of pork packing and editors
was confronted by the sister Of his intimate
friend, and his own former acquaintance
and Objet of admiration, when she was in
Cincinnati, three years ago last winter.
AS may be imagined there was a scene.
There was no fainting nor any Mysteries
nor foolishness of any sort, but there was
recognition, moment of hesitation, and
then our Cincinnati man said 'Sallie you
must come out of this" Sallie was not at
all 10th to go, and the Madame though
disposed to object, was speedily quieted by
the threat of invoking the police and news
papers, the trunk was speedily packed, and
its owner placed in the hack and quietly
taken to the hotel, and the North Missouri
train of the next afternoon bore Sallie and
her rescuer away to the East, and home
ward.
A letter recently received by friend of
the young lady in this city, announces her
arrival home, explanations, forgiveness, aud
let us hope entire reformation.
May the sunshine OF coming springtime
brighter for the temporary gloom that
shrouded her youthful pathway, and may
the happiness of her future know not
stain Of the sin that misfortune threw upon
her as an evil destiny.

SAD AFFAIR-DEATH OF REV. j.
BRINToN SMITH On yesterday (Tues-
day. morning this community was shocked
with the intelligence that Rev. j. Brinton
Smith, D. d., who resides about a mile
northeast of this city, had met a sudden
death and that some violent poison had
been the agent. At this writing 6 d. m.)
the jury of inquest is still in session and
therefore none of the facts in the case can
be positively stated. The following infor-
nation was gathered from Mr.. Robert
Seawell, who was engaged at Mr.. Smiths
i'll experimenting the farm when the sad
occurrence took place:
DIR. Smith arose from his bed yesterday
morning quite early and in his usual
health, and went out aud spoke to Mr..
Seawell in regard to the hauling of some
cotton, and then returned TO the house.
Just before breakfast, about O'Clock, he
expressed a desire for a sedlitz powder.
His daughter went TO the box in which
they were kept, mixed one and presented
it to her father. He drank it and ate bis
breakfast. He then lit his pipe and again
went to have some conversation with Mr..
Seawell, during which he several times
complained Of feeling very peculiar. He
soon returned to the house and in q short
time was taken very i'll. lie was heard to
exclaim, 81 believe L ann poisoned" A
messenger was Immediately dispatched for
DR.. E. Burke Haywood, but before the
Doctor could arrive the vital spark had
fed.
The box from which the powders were
taken, and the tumbler in which they were
mixed, and from which DR.. Smith drank,
are in the possession of Mr.. Seaweil. In
the tumbler were some deposits which Mr..
Seawell tasted and which lie says were very
bitter. II the absence Of the verdict of
the jury OF inquest nothing positive can be
stated as 10 the cause of this sudden death,
but the cCrHmon report is that the symp-
toms which accompanied this unfortunate
gentleman's fatal illness point 10 the agen-
cy of some powerful poison, such as prus-
sic acid or strychnine. If such be really
the case, the question as TO how such in
gradients came to DC mixed with powders
remains to be solved.
DIR. Smith was sent to this city some
three or four years ago by the Episcopalian
Board of Domestic Missions, as Principal
of the ST. Augustine Normal School, for
the education of colored people, and by his
probity OF life and the interest which he
manifested in advancing the material in
terests Of the community, made himself
many warm friends, who mourn their loss.
and tenderly sympathize with his bereaved
family. In the next issue of this paper
moro full aud reliable particulars concern
ing this heartrendiug affair Will be given,
as by that time the evidence OF the attend
ing physician before the Coroner's jury
can be obtained.-Raleigh Sentinel.
