Roads by the Confederate ram Virginia

feet Of mud. The water at the place is
rs feet deep. BY the explosion
Of torpedo the safe was
cracked and it was hoisted on

out. 1t is generally believed the safe con-
tains between sixty ard one hundred thou
sand dollars gold. The safe and treasure
belong TO Capt. Brown aud o. E. MOltby,

FRIDAY, JULY 80.

The Board of Indian Commissioners had a
conference with President Grant yesterday at
Long Branch Oh Indian affairs. The President
expressed his uptaltering confidence in his In
dian policy. The charges made by Prof. Marsh
we're discussed, and the most thorough inves-
t~igation demanded. The President pledged
the full power of the Executive for the reform
of the abuses of the service, and assured the
Board of bis hearty cooperation in their efforts.
Plans for collecting all the Indians upon one
territory we're also considered, and measures
adopted in connection Herewith. The COM
missioners issue an address commencing the
present policy of the government as one of
peace, humanity and justice towards the H.
diaus: declaring that most of the charges of
fraud originate With disappointed contractors
and traders, but recognizing the propriety of the
mcst rigid investigation whenever charges are
made by respectable and responsible parties; de-
nyiug the existance of rings in connection
with the Indian service; inviting the various
missionary boards to select men of capacity for
agents; referring to the march of civilization
among all the Indians, except three or four
bands Of Sioux, and claiming that bad men are
decryiDg the service only to break up this
humane policy for their own greed. An
Omaha despatch says the Indian Commission,
while 10 that city, made several important dis
c%overies as to the way in which supplies are
furnished the Indians. A miller testified to
having put up eignty-seven pounds of -four in
sacks that were served to the 1odians as con-
tanning one hundred pounds, aud a beef con-
tractor got receipts from the Indian Agent for
seven hundred head of cattle that he lost by
freezing.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. |
SHILOH, Va, July 29.-The frequent and
abundant rains with which we have been bless
ed during the past several weeks have wonder
fully improved the appearance of our corn fields,
hitherto so backward and unpromising, and we
have now the prospect of a more abundant
yield than We have had since the war. Under
the refreshing influence Of this fact, or for some
other reason, our people are takiog a more
lively interest than usual in politics. Caudi-
dates are daily multiplying, while neighbor.
hoods and even families are dividing upon the
question of representation in the next House of
Delegates. Some process of addition and sub
traction will have to be resorted to on the part
OF the Conservative party here to bring this
question down to successful solution. The sin.
gle rule of one is the simplest and safest plan.
and the only one by which the party can hope
10 succeed. DIVIDED as We DOW are, with a can
dldate from every nelghborhood in the county,
and even TWO fr,m the same household, as is
the case 10 the Passpatanzy district, defeat will
be Inevitable. A mcetlug has been called to be
held at August court for the adoption of some
plan of settlement.
Our nelghbors OF Westmoreland. as if to
atone tor past hardness, are now moving very
z~ealously towards the erection of a monument
TO the memory of their Confederate dead. Con-
certs, pic-nics, court day festivals, fish fries,
and all the stimulating appliances usually re-
sorted to 10 hard times to raise money, have
been held from time to time, and on Tuesday
next there will be 40 excursion on the Pilot
Boy from Curriomau to Lconardtown for the
same purpose. The ladies of the county have

terprlses, and as a cousrquenoe they have all
