BATTLE OF Pr. PLEAsANT.-Thc CEN
tenniAl anniversary or:the battle Of Point
Pleasant between the Indians under
CoRNsrALK and the whites under Gen.
LEWIS will occur on the 18th OF October,
1s74,and in view Of the fact the Pt. Pleas
ant Register suggests that 1t be appropri.
ately celebrated. Tho Register remarks:
"Our town and vicinity abound in his.
toric interest. On the lot which is now
owned by A. R. Darst, Esq, the old fort
was erected, and no took from the old
well some years ago, many articles which
were suggestive OF the slime that tried
mems souls" Just across the street from
his house, lie ina stable yard, the bones
of those brave ones who gave up their
lives In the defense Of their country. Il
Is a shame that they should be LEFT In
such a condition, and some effort should
be made to adorn this spot, as a cemetery
should be. Then up town, near the resi-.
dence Of John W. English ESQ, Is left the
stump Of the identical tree under which
General Lewis was taken when wound
ed, and under whose grateful shade his
lie blood oozed out. Some vandal hand
put the axe to its roots and ielled 1t, and
nothing but the stump Is LEFT TO tell tho
pasSer-by that II has name in history

theremains Of the celebrated Indian war
ior, Cornstalk, whose curse il Is said, still
rests upon the town.

KENTUCKY seems destined to maintain
its ancient renown as "the dark and
bloody ground" Judge Lynch and the
slave hunters, who used to think that
"niggers" had no rights which white
men were bound to respect, used to make
it warm for the Yankee schoolmsster and
mark everybody wholearned from North
ern school books. In most parts OF the
country the late war seemed to eradicate
those little pre1udices, but Kentucky
clings to moboCracy, which is always
blindly called Democracy. Whether
through ignorance that slavery is abol'
ished, or through pure venom, constitu.
tional and chronic, 1t L. hardly possible
to tell; but sure It is that the rufllsn rules
the roost in many counties, and public
opinion and law are oVerawed. In Frank
lin county especially violence reigns to an
extent seldom known before, and the
citizens have finally plucked up courage
to hold public meetings to express their
indignation and cooperate for defence.
The trouble is that the laws Of Kentucky
have been made purposely lame, and the
officers have but little more power than
the citizens. The Legislature is now
asked 10 improve the laws, having the
assurance that Gov. Leslie will enforce
them,

THE Weston Democrat is not accurate
when 1t says the INTELLIaENCER Of
the 9Th inst, Opposes an appropriation
for the Hospital for the Insane" If
it refers, as we presume, to the hos
pital at Weston. We oppose an ap'
propria ton for another hospital which
it was proposed to found at Salt Sulphur
Springs, Monroe County. We expressed
the belief that the building Of such q
splendid structure at Weston, absorbing
so much money for such inadequate &C.
commodations, was stupendous mis-.
take; and we suggested that before the
Legislature made further investments in
that kind OF property, it should seek to
know why, after all this expenditure,
there is still insufficient accommodations
for the insane, and whether money here.
after appropriated cannot be made to
produce better results. That is about
what we said on the 9Th, and we say It
again.

TIE Weston Dsmocra! says that in


THE Weston Democrat says that IN
sertaln sections OF Upshur County (ana
it hears Of some instances in LeWis')
There arc large settlements Of blood re-
lations, who persist in intermarrying with
each other. The inevitable consequence
IL progeny Of delormed and almost idi-
otto chlldren-physical and mental
dwarfs. Upshur .county's insane come
mainly from the sections referred to. The
Buckhannon Della, referring 70 the same
unpleasant facts, urges legislation that
will absolutely prevent the intermArrisge
OF relations, by rendering 1t impossible for
a couple who are forbidden to marry by
the laws OF the State to cross the border
into a neighboring State where such q
prohibition does not exist, II the Della
would suggest how that could be done, it
might assist the Legislature to solution;
but while people are at liberty to come
and go, the only remedy for the evil will
be to secure uniform restrictions against
such intermarrisge in all the States.

We recently asked the Bangor Wing
to explain why clothing can be purcha sed
in Scotland for one hall its price in this
country, as the correspondent of that pa
per chronicles. The Wing refers us to
an article from the New York Tribune,
remarking that the Journal and its
friends have latterly come to regard the
New York Tribune as high authority ="
Well, what has that to do with it We
asked the Wing to explain, not to quote
high tariff lecture from the Tribune. In
some matters we do regard the latter pa
per As high authority. Upon the Credit
Mobilier iniquity, the administration sal
AIRY steal, the disagreement of I-onisi-
ana, and many other questions, the Trib-
une is as sound as nut, and puts the re-
sponslbility just where it belongs-upon
the administration and its supporters
But 1t has an insane streak concerning the
tariff, so ingraned that it will never get
rid of it. We much prefer the doctrines
OF the New York Evening Post, which,
though IN administration paper, regards
a high tariff As the chief of political in
EQUITIES. And the theory OF the Post has
made such heading in the party, especial

The End of a Tragedy.

1t will be remembered that few days
since, we gave an account of the suicide
at Cumberland Mills. of a Young girl
named Ella Bachelor, who quarrelled
with her lover, Walter Howe, and soon
after threw herself into the Presumpscot.
We copy from the Press the finale of the
sad affair Since that melancholy event,
it is said that Howe has been much de-
pressed in spirits, and INDUCED himself
In the continual use of liquor. The cir
cnmstances attending the death of the
girl, and the blame attached to him by
many Of his neighbors as being the cause
OF the suicide, undoubtedly preyed upon
his mind, and unsettled it. Sunday eve
ming. about six o'clock, the affair ended
alter this POLITICALLY Just manner. Walter
Howe, while standing in front of his
boarding house, drew a pistol from his
pocket and shot himself through the heart.
Death, OF course, soon followed. The
two suicides, one following so closely up
on the other and the circumstances which
connected them, have caused intense in
terest in the usually quiet village of Cum
berland Mills. Lewiston Journal.

Without denying that it denounc ed Mr..
Hale in advance of his nomination as UNI
fit for representative, and certain to be
defeated at the polls, the Prog. Age at
tempts to defend itself in this manner
About our supporting Hale after opposing
his nomination, how was it about he Journals
supporting Pike after warning the democrats
of this part of the district that they were to be
sold out, and when Pike, before he would 90
near the democratic convention, went and got
nominated by boiling republicans, and thus set
there anything mysterious in the Journals Civ
ing him its support? People said it wouldn't
but it did.
This paper issued no warning to the
democrats of the fifth district that they
were to be sold out; it never committed
the folly of denouncing Mr. Pike in view
of his probable nomination by the de-
mocracy. Therefore was there no mys-
terry in its course. But if the journal had
seen cause to assail Mr. Pike previous to
the Belfast convention az corrupt man,
and unfit to be the candidate of the party ,
he would not have received its support af-
ter the nomination. The Age may be
sure of that.
