THE LATEST INFORMATION.
"The Bald mountain, in the south>
western part of Mcdowell county, was
shaken few days since by volcanic throes,
and some of the inhabitants in the neigh
borhood became much excited and alarm
ed. However, one of the Oldest citizens
says that the shock was not seyerer than
it was in 1912. We have no reliable in

being held, many believing that the

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
Shall Their Names be Placed on
the PenSion-RelI!

From The Washington Chronicle:
Some weeks ago your paper contained
an article rejecting upon the merits of
the bill before Congress in the interest
Of the Mexican war veterans. Your issue
Of the 18th instant, in a smaller para
graph, continues the sentiments of hos
tility to the measure embraced in the first.
Those unfriendly ideas apparently origi-
mated from the same brain but the mo-
tive which prompted them I am at a loss
to determine. Whether the number Of
veterans be one thousand, twenty thou
sand, or even thirty.nine thousand. as
stated by that writer, can not UNDER
stand how the question of justice is
at all affected by it. If that writer
is opposed to the bill on groundst
that are in the least tenable, why does no
he state them, instead of parading for,
midable Ito him) array Of figures? Are
the great principal of justice and graft
tude to the soldier of the most powerful
nation on the globe based upon the num-
bers to whom that justice is due? If
such an argumentydetermined the acts of
Congress in these particulars (which seems
to be the idea Of the writer Of the articles
referred to) what would have become Of
that host of manned and diseased soldiers
who survived the war Of the rebellion, the
mere wrecks of that youth and energy
they gave to the country in the dark
hours of our sore need? No, thank God
our legislators did not take such an une>
quail view of things when that army
brought its claims to their notice as our
narrow-minded opponent of the Mexican
veteran pension bill would have them take
Of it in their consideration Of that mea>
sure, Let there be thirty>nine thousand
survivors Of the Mexican war who claim
pension, or even twice that number,
should the justice which they ask be mea>
sured BY the size of the rension-roll !?
Would the justice be greater were there
only Eve thousand? The Convention of
Mexican Veterans,
HELD IN THIS CITY
in January last, was composed Of repres>
entatives from nearly every State and Ter
ritory in the Union. and yet the data in
the possession Of that convention would
hardly muster ten THOUSAND survivors o.

the war--a iaet which disposes at once Of
the appalling thirty.ains thousand, who
rise like horrible ghost before the ter.
rihed and unjust vision Of the writer of
those articles. That convention decided
to ask the Government for pension of
eight dollars a month, the same amoun,
that Is accorded to tho survivors of all
other wars in which the United States
have been engaged, aud petition and
bill were prepared and presented. We
have patiently waited for over twentySsev.
en- years-nearly generation--for this
justice, which we believe isdac us. Many
Of us are poor, crippled, aud suffering, and
certainly to be placed on an equal basis
with the soldiers Of our other wars is not
asking too much. Eight dollars q month
would bring an incalculabo amount Of
comfort to many of US in oar old age.
We gave some Of the best years of our
lives to sustain the dignity of our flag.
and appeal to the chaiactc ristic graft.
tude OF the American people if our de-.
mands are unreasonable. The result of
our campaigns were as full of benefit to
tho nation as its other wars. We gained
N
suihcent territory to form an empire and
one OF the finest harbors in the world, be.
sides the acquisition of untold mineral
wealth. In reply to our prayer for pon>
sion, we are answered by tho writer Of
the articles referred to "that it will cost
too much that it will require millions Of
dollars yearly to satisfy our demand"
But, if this question Of expense is care,
fully examined, it will lie found that tho
actual increase Of the pension rolls will
not be moro than one million. Should
we be denied little support ia
OUR DECLINING YEARS
simply because it does take million mora
yearly from tho Treasury The roll Of
veterans OF the Mexican war is rapidly d.
minishing. All of us are in the "sere and
yellow leaf But little longer and We
shall all have gone. With each season
our numbers grow less; month we are
dropping out of the ranks. We ask this
money only for a short time. 1t will
soon decrease in the aggregate from u
million yearto a few thousands, while
for generation yet the pension roll Of
the survivors Of the rebellion will contin>
ue to be immense, for they have the same
chances in the future for life that we had
twonty>eigbt years ago. The soldiers of
this country have been its safeguard,
though in times of peace their claims have
been, and are somtimes yet, unrigbteous-
ly ignored. They are frequently misrcp.
resented and misunderstood by those who
have never shouldered a musket or felt
the shock Of battle, and | believe am

The End Of q Vermont Kailrond War.
The long-standing railroad war in Vermont,
between the Central Vermont and tho Vermont
CanadaI Railroads, was brought to close on
Wednesday last BY contract entered into bo-
tween the stockholders Of ths two roads ut Bel
Iowa Falls, Vt, whereby the Central Vermont
Company will purchase the Vermont i Canada
Railroad, with all its privileges, nppurtenanccs,
assets, and property OF every description, in
cluding the assignment Of the latter roads de-
mand for rent in arrear under it's contract to
tue purchasing road but not the lease itself, aud
all overdue rents. The purchase money ia
f9, 600. 600, to be paid in the bonds Of the Yer
mont Central Company, with coupons attached,
having thirty years to run. The vote OF the
stockholders Of the Vermont & Canada Road on
the question Of the sle wes 68 for and II against
There vas no discussion over the matter st the
meeting OF the stockholders Of the Central Yer
mont, and the contract which had been entered
into by their Directors Wns agreed to. The ltl-
cation thus closed began thirteen years ago, ,whea
q suit in the interest Of the Vermont & Oannda
Road Was brought against the Central Vermont
Company. Tho suit terminated in ! deciaion,
whereby the property OF the Central Vermont
Was placed in the hands Of Receiver for the
benefit OF the Vermont & Canada Company as
lassors Of its road to the Central Vermont.
From this arose other complications and suits
between the two companies which had contin-
ued up to the time Of the present plan OF eettle~
ment
