planters in his parish. Davidson b. Penn
! is graduate of the Virginia Military In
, stitute at Lexington, and also OF the Uni
versity of Virginia. He read law in the
office Of Hon. James Lyons, OF Richmond,
and subsequently removed to New Orleans,
| where he engaged largely i'll commercial
pursuits and cotton planting, and in which
| he has been very successful. AT the break.
ing out Of the war he raised a company OF
| volu teers, which formed a part OF the
celebrated Louisiana regiment, command
ed by Gen. Hays. He was subsequently
promoted to the rank of Major, and on the
promotion of Gen. Hays he became the
commander of the regiment. Throughout
the war he deported himself with con-
spicuous gallaltry, and WAS frequently
! complimented 10y his superiors. When the
ill-starred banner of the South went down
in defeat he retired TO his home, and re-
newed his cotton planting and commercial
speculations.
THE OPINION AT THE NORTH.
Even the New York Times, an admins
tration organ, while holding that the Gov
ernment should take prompt and vigorous
measures against the louisiana Revolu-
tiOnsts, is forced to the following confess
sion:
''The people who have risen against the
State government have been ruthleSsly,
plundered and oppressed; the Governor
who WAS turned out has abused his office,
,lnd the State government which has been
temporarily upset was Il disgrace TO the
whole country. If we admit one set of
facts we must admit the other also. No
man can honestly survey the condition OF
affaias without disgust. The spectacle OF
United States troops being sent to New
Orleans to restore the Kellogg gang to
power may be pleasine to some people, but
the general public can only look upon it
with regret.7
And this is pretty much the tone Of the
northern press generally.
The Cincinnati Exposition.
Correspondence of Staunton Vindcator.l
CINCINNATI Sept. II.
Often have | seen this city crowded, but
never like the present, every train and
boat arriving seems to be filled to its ut
most capacity, and one coming out OF his
room in the morning can see hundreds of
cots filing halls aud parlors of Hotels with
sleeping visitors to the great Exposition,
which is now in full blast, and which has
been greatly improved since last year. In
Power Hall is q beautiful engine made at
Hamilton Ohio, which drives 3l5 different
machines and yet the noise is 50 slight that
one standing in feet of it can hardly hear
it, The perfection with which these ma
chimes do their work is really astonishing
nd one can watch them for hours with
increasing interest, In this Hall the Pat.
Blowing machine seems to create more
anus ement than any other, the object Of
which is separation, and when one goes to
examine it for curiosity it sends his hat
about so feet above.
The florist room contains some of every
flower imaginable and is supplied with a
rustic looking wall over which beautiful
stream of water is continually flowing and
gliding thro' the center of the garden.-
From this you pass up a fight of steps to
a very long hall Which contains a great
variety of ladies work, New I Ork in 1892,
sl1etched from Hoboken by Richard Nor
man and executed i'll needle work by his
| daughter is very interesting, another is q
| bouquet Of flowers made from bakers
bread. The little girl L wears old making
lace always has a crowd around her. In
| this room also can be seen Il silk quilt made
of 1850 pieces, SO they say didn't have
time st then to count them. III short it
is a beautiful sight to pass i'll this man.
