A PaIpable Hit.

The present position of some of the Re-
publicans who have come out for Greeley
reminds the Boston Transcript of the story
of an old fellow in New Hampshire who,
whatever his condition, never lost the sense
Of his dignity. One warm summers day
he was seated on the top of stage coach
which was slowly vending its way over the
sandy roads above Concord. Frequent APP
plication to his pocket flask had rendered
his position somewhat unsteady, and at last
sudden jolt tumbled him off by the road
side. The driver stopped, and with aid
from the passengers, he was at last set up
again in the coach, between two other men,
who were to guard against recurrence of
such an accident.
Our hero looked very solemn for mile
or two, without any remark, and then
spoke:
81 shay, driver, wehad pretty bad up
sh ETY. 9 s.4u pa-
"Upset! We havn't upset." replied the
driver, little hurt at the suggestion.
"Yes we did upshet! shay we did up
shet! I'll leave it to this gemrnclman if we
didn't upshet." d
The umpire decided at once against
him.
The solemn look came back to his face.

Confederate Dead a. Ant,e,am.

. After long delay it is stated that prepa-
rations have been completed for the inter-
ment Of the Confederate dead at Antietam.
The Hagerstown Herald of yesterday says I:
Several years ago the Legislature of this
State made an appropriation of $1,000 to
gather up the bones Of the Confederate
dead. buried on the field of Antietam and
elsewhere in Western Maryland, and give
them interment within some appropriate
enclosure. The gentlemen having the
matter in charge as a committee, a year or
two ago, purchased a portion Of the grounds
of Rose Hill Cemetery Company for the
purpose, and last week the work of removal
commenced,E the bones of quite large
number having already been buried, but
very few, if any, are known Baltimore

GENERAL ITEMS.

Much of the profanity Of the age is the
result of sending people magazines with
uncut leaves. There IS now general out
cry against uncut publications, and reform
sooner or later is not improbable. &c Courier
Journal.
Residents Of Connecticut who are in
favor of jumping off and on cars when in
motion will soon have a meeting in Hartford
to organize cooperative drug and under,
taking establishment. The kerosene kindlers
have adopted this plan, and experience con-
siderable satilaction from it.
Secretary Fish, in conversation with
friend, stated that in his place, Phillips
town, N. Y, 200 Democrats have declared
for Grant and Wilson, and further, that
leading Democrat there, named Kimball,
has offered to bet $40 900 that the State Of
New York will give Grant majority Of
100000. a5rta.4 a.s.
The world moves. The Memphis Ap-
peat is out in ringing editorial in favor Of
free schools and universal education. This
is better than encouraging the ku-klux to
burn school-houses and whip schoolmasters.
If the appeal will only make Tennessee
a safe and pleasant place for Yankee
schoolmasters large portion of the
thrifty population, now diverted to more
northern ATTITUDES, will come there and
make the whole State musical with church
bells, cotton spindles, and all the glad
noises of prospering industry.-lNissouri

Sat Lake, September 10. - General
Morrow returned from the South late last
night. The troops remain at the scene of
the Indian troubles. At council with tho
hostile chiefs in San Pete county, the Indi-
ans positively refused to return to their re-
servations. They said they had left it be-
cause they were starving and they thought
they might as well be killed by the soldiers.
The agents, they said, were liars and
thieves.
General Morrow notified them that they
must return, promising to give them food
on the way and full supplies at the reser-
walton. The chiefs finally consented, but
said they would return to the valley if not
fed.
Gen. Morrow reports a reign of terror in
San Pete county. The people were wholly
at the mercy of the savagcs, aud the arrival
of the troops was hailed with tears of JOY.
If the Indians are now properly carried for
at the reservations there will be no more
trouble. II not, war must come.

Men at n Discount-Large Accessions to tho
Republican Ranks.
SURRY G. H., VAIL
September TO-, 1872. !
To the Editor Of The State Journal:
=, A very large meeting of the people OF
Surry county was held at the Courthouse
last Saturday. Some five or six hundred
voters from all parts of the county must
have assembled. quite number of whom
were whites.
The meeting was called by the Republic
cans, but "Greeleyitcs " and :.'straight-
outs were invited to participate Hon
j. II. Gilmer had been advertised to speak
here, but much to the regret Of all parties
present, severe illness prevented his
attendance.
Col. James ii. Plat, our present able
representative in Congress-, and candidate
for reelection, opened the ball in half
hours speech which secured the undivided
attention and deep interest by lbs able re-
view Of the political situation. He was
followed by Mr.. Geo. f. Clark, the Com
monwealth's attorney for SuTy county
who is the Democratic canvasser for the
county. Mr.. G. vainly tried to attack
some Of Col. Platt's positions, but failing
in that, he tried the usual Democratic
dodge of personal abuse, denying the right
of anybody not born in Virginia to hold
office or be candidate for any Office in this
State.
He was followed by Col. Platt and Hon.
G. p. Ramsdell who gave Clark such an
unmerciful securing for his "mean con-
temptable sentiments of exclusiveness" .
sentiments that "might do credit to the
dark ages but will never do for this" Mr..
Ramsdell presented what in his views
should be the policy of Virginia-apolicy
Of true /" liberality" that should cordially
welcome the people of every part of our
own and every other nation not only to buy
lands and settle here, but to bring their
political opinions along with them, and ex-
ercise the rights of citizenship as they
pleased. is the only policy that will de-
velope the rich resources of our State, and
relieve us of the heavy burdens Of debt and
poverty now resting upon US.
5. Mr.. Clark followed in few remarks,
backing completely ont of his former, posi-
ton, and making some new charges, which
were well answered by Hon. r.. G. Greene,
our State Senator, who followed in a speech
which was well received. ...'a.5
Resolutions endorsing the Hon. James II.
Plat for Congress, and repudiating on be-
half Of the Republicans of Surry any SYM
patty with or recognition of any boiling
movement" were unanimously passed.
Cheers were given with a will for Grant,
Wilson and Plat; after which the meeting
adjourned. ie 94s3 fr VIZ
Old Surry will roll up in November a
much larger Republican majority than she
has ever given. Greeleyism don't 60 down
with the Conservatives here, and an as
tonishing number of this class Of voters
publicly declare for Grant. We mean to
make this the banner county for gains
fromthc ranks of the opposition.
