POLITICAL NOTES.

Senator Logan is making speeches in
Indiana.
Colorado elects delegate to Congress
on the 18th of the present month.
in Brandford, VT, out of 444 names
on the check list 403 votes were cast
its estimated that there are enough
carpet-bagging Greeley orators in Maine to
drive a forty-horse power windmill, if their
eloquence could be concentrated.
The Springfield Qll.) Registers story
that Robert Lincoln is on the Greeley side,
aad believes his father would be there too,
if living, is an absurd and baseless fabrica-
ton. Tgfate.a aHT E
Charles O'Conor said recently: "The
country is in a prosperous eondition-teem-
ing with plenty, in fact-and there is no
cause for any kind Of apprehension" And
that the country may continue to prosper,
0'Conor opposes Greeley with all his might.
The death of Congressman Strong, Of
Connecticut, makes it necessary for
Governor Jewell to issue his warrant
for special election in his district.
1t is thought that separate affair will be
made of it by delaying the vote until after
the Presidential election, though it is pos
sible that the vote may be ordered on the
same day. Very many Republicans name
General Hawley as the probable Repnbli-
can candidate, but it is doubtful that he
will accept. The Democrats say that if he
is run they win nominate NV. Eaton.
With two such positive men in the field the
canvass would be an active one, and il
would possess interest enough to be con.
Quoted by itself The impressionsis that
General Hawley could carry the distric,
handsomely. ~ ~ 100 AsiA 4. ~ 49,

Col. Isaac S. Steaca,s:
DEAR SIR: Your note of the I'd inst, is
just received, and in reply | have to state
that you are authorized on my behalf to
deny in the most emphatic manner all
statements of Gen. Grant having been drunk
or in any degree under the influence of
liquor at the battle of Shiloh. | was at
this time his Chief of Staff and Chief of Ar
tillery. | breakfasted with the General
at Savannah on Sunday, the first day of
the battle. | went on board the boat
with him and rode into the field with him
at about eight and-a-half o'clock, in per-
son, and was necessarily with him, except
at Intervals Of absence on duty, during the
whole day. lay down with him long
after dark that night, on a small parcel of
hay which the Quartermaster put down to
keep us out of the mud, in the rear of the
artillery line on the left, and never heard
till long afterward of any idea enter
tanned by anybody that he was drunk,
nor did see him drink during the day, and
| am sure he was perfectly sober as he was
self-possessed aud collected during the
varying fortunes of that celebrated battle.
If there are any words in which / can
deny the miserable charge more fully and
distinctly am ready so adopt them.

furniture store, on Thirteenth street near
Franklin, came near meeting with a serious
accident this morning. lie started down
from the third story of the building in
the hatchway elevator, and the balance to

last floor but ole, he made all unsuccessful
attempt to leap from the elevator, and in
doing so received several bruises, the most
severe one being on the ankle. His inju-

they will probably cause him much suffer

notwithstanding the threatening weather,
TO witness his first performance last night.
Virginia Hall was crowded with delighted
people. The presents were distributed as

every respect, as is well known throughout
the entire world. Prof. Anderson can re-
main with us but short season, as he has

Accident on the Baltimore mud Ohio II ailrs Id
A Youua Man Loses His Arm

4danastopn, September "a young
man named Charles Randolph CAN'T, of the
vicinity of Charlestown, West Virginia, in
attempting to jump from the Winchester
accommodation train on Saturday morning,
about four miles west of this place, fell
with his right arm on the track and the
wheel Of a car passed over it, crushing the
bones between the wrist and elbow.
DR.. Jacob d. Thomas was called to see
the unfortunate man, and found that ampu-
tation of the wounded member was abso-
lutely necessary, and he accordingly per-
formed the operation, taking off the arm
above the elbow. The patient is doing very
well, and will doubtless speedily recover.

received from planters for several days
past, and from personal observation, the
cotton crop in a number of the counties in
that section, has sustained serious injury
from the drought and rust, and the rava-
ges OF the worms. From estimates at
hand, the prospects are at least twenty-five
per cent. worse than generally anticipated
a month or two ago.

THE CAMPAIGN-JoINT MEETING
AT LOUISA CoURT-HoUsE.-Ohe of the
most important meetings of the campaign
in the Third Congressional district, took
place at Louisa O. H., on yesterday, several
gentlemen ON both sides Of the political
questions participating in the discussion.
Rush Burgess, ESQ.,, of this city, led off in
speech ofone hours duration, in which
he handled the questions of the day with
his usual consummate skill, and
advocated" the reelection Of President
Grant with great force and power. He
was followed by Mr.. Amber, of Louisa, a
per Sc secessionist who didn't fight, in a
speech of half an hour. We are informed
that Mr.. Amber said nothing against Grant
or for Greeley, but directed his attention
specially to Mr.. Burgess. During his
speech he asked Mr.. b. the following gues.
ton: "Did you not come here, sir, with
the commission of United States officer in
your pocket and insisted upon Mr.. Bur-
CESS answering the question then and there.
Mr.. Burgess stepped forward and replied:
"Yes, did !; and you and such as you
would be glad to be able to do the same
thing"
Mr.. Amber was followed by Judge
Alfred Morton, of this city, who
crowded vast deal of good advice
into his half hours speech. The Judges
eloquent and timely remarks were raptur-
ously applauded by the largo audience.
Colonel Gordon, of Louisa, then spoke
for half an hour in support of Greeley.
Colonel jenkins, of Richmond, replied to
this gentleman, handling him, as well as the
great Chappaquack, with ungloved hands.
Colonel Gordon writhed sensibly under
the scathing words of our elector at large,
who also gave due attention to the previous
speech of MIR. Amber.
The county canvasser appointed by Ra-
leigh Il. Daniel, whose name has slipped
our memory, then came upon the stand,
and proceeded to declare most emphatically
that Horace Greeley had not come over to
the Democracy, but that the Democracy
had gone over to Horace Greeley, the ex-
tremest radical in the country. He the
speaker) wished it distinctly understood that
he was ready to acknowledge that the De-
mocracy had been wrong in the past and had
failed to do the colored people justice but
that now having taken their position on
Republican platform, with Horace Greeley
az their candidate for the Presidency, they
were prepared to out-carpet-bag the carpet
baggers and out-scailawag the scallawag-
gers. AS it has been an open question
which was the worst sold party, Horace
Greeley or the Democracy, it is in order
for some one to explain whether the posi-
ton taken by this speaker is right or wrong.
AT the conclusion of this speech r. d.
Beckley, of Alexandria, an eloquent and
well known colored orator, enchanted the
audience for three quarters of an hour,
being often interrupted by immense APP
plause. The meeting was about equally
composed of Grant men and Greeley men,
and gave respectful attention to all the
speakers. It is the general opinion of
those with whom we have conversed, that
the Greeley speakers in Louisa will not be
anxious to meet the same Grant orators
again during this campaign.
