Governor Tilden's home and Eastern OPP
ponents are fatally weak rs yet in having no
strong contesting candidate. They offer
Bayard, they suggest General Hancock and
Governor Parker, but neither will do. Gov
ernor Tilden is stronger alike in himself and
in his popularity than either of these men.
Whomever the Cincinnati Convention nom
mates, the Democrats cannot afford to go
into the canvass with weak man. Spring

minglng of brethren from different sections,
comparing notes as to the work OF the past
year, or engaging in pleasant social inter-
course. Some interest was excited by the
report that Dom Pedro was on the cars, but
as he occupied special car, which was
closely guarded, there was no opportunity
OF seeing him until we reached Culpepcr.
Here he got off Of the cars to get lis dinner,
and the crowd assembled at the depot had
an opportunity Of looking at live Emperor.
Dressed in a suit OF almost shabby black,
wearing slouched hat, and accompanied
by only one Of his suite, the Emperor was
not recognized at first, and a Richmond
preacher, in cscorting 4 lady through
the crowd, jostled against his Excellency
somewhat roughly; but the cars soon
hurried Dom Pedro on his way, and the
delegates to the Convention fell into the
hospitable hands OF the good people OF Gull
pepper. II there had ever been any fear OF
the ability Of Culpeper to entertain the
General Association, this fear was soon dis
sipated. The committee met the delegation
at Gordonsville and assigned them to their
homes. The people, without distinction of
denomination, have opened their homes,
and we are entertained with princely hospi-
tally, the only complaint heard being
that there were not delegates enough to fill
the places provided. Tonight the Associa-
ton assembled in the Baptist church, and
was called to order by the Moderator Of last
session. Judge j. Fl. c. Jones, of King and
Queen. The Association was opened with
prayer by the venerable Or. w. FL. Kirk, OF
Northumberland county. Il The Convention
then proceeded to the election OF officers; a
number OF nominations were made, and

Another Indian Fight.

News from Fort Fetterman states that
haying party of twelve men and seven
OK teams were attacked by band OF
twenty or thirty Indians, twenty-five
miles from that post. John Ottens,
wagon master, was badly wounded and
one horse was killed. It appears that
two of the party we're out hunting about
eight o'clock, and, hearing an Indian
war song, hastened to the train, which
was Immediately prepared for defense.
-Four of the men started to find the saw
ages, which they did, and made lively
retreat, hotly pursued by them to with
in fifty yards of the train, when the re-
naming eight men sent volley into the
Indians, who retreated to the shelter al
the bluffs, and commenced firing upon
the train, which, being at disadvantage,
was compelled to move two hundred
yards. Tho fight lasted nearly four
hours. The number of Indians killed is
unknown, but two were seen to fall.
Mr.. Powell, a contractor, states that the
Indians showed great courage, and we're
strongly armed with Winchester and
army rifles. The telegraph line between
Fort Fetterman and Cheyenne being cut
about the time Of the fight, it is thought
that it was the work of the same band.
Ottens is doing we'll, but undoubtedly
will lose his right arm.

A Story, with a Moral.

A gentleman of middle age, who had
always been a farmer, had cleared up
and improved one of the best farms in
buildings, reared family, and was en-
joyingsthe blessings with which he was
surrounded, became possessed with the
idea of selling his farm.
Friends told him he could live SO
much easier to go into the village, where
he could have nice house, garden,
keep COW, and, if he chose, horse,
and live like gentleman on the interest
of his money, that he advertised his
farm for sale. He found no want of
purchasers, and the farm was soon dis
posed of for handsome sum. Then
the stock, farming tools, etc., were sold,
and the place that he had wrought with
his own hands, the buildings he had
built for his own convenience, and, &C.
cording to his own notions, the spot
where he had raised his family, and
around which clustered so many associa-
tions, passed into the hands of stran-
gers. For time the gentleman did not
locate, as he desired to look round, find
place to suit him, and see where ne
could he happy for the remainder of his
days. at last he found a place that
suited him, purchased it, and settled
down to life again. But things did not
go right. He missed his old farm and
house, the silent but delightful company
of his cattle, sheep, and other domestic
animals, the scenes where he had pass
cd SO many happy years, and the society
of his old neighbors, tried and true.
He grew discontented, and was well
nigh sick. His wife and daughters,
