Sitting Bull.

HELENA, MONTANA, October 22.-
The United. States Commission sent
out by the Government to fnd and
treat for peace and good will with
the sioux Chief, Sitting Bun, has at
length succeeded in coming face to
face with the old chieftain, and have
failed to bring him TO any terms. In
short, the commission have met Sit
ting Bull, and Sitting Bull dismissed
them abruptly and distastefully.
The expedition failed In its pur-
pose. and the Sioux quest ton is as
far from satisfactory solution as
when Gen. Terry and his brother
commissioners first set out on their
long and tedious journey 10 the.
Northwest. Sitting Bull refnsed at
FIRST to consider the proposition that
Maj. Walsh, OF the British militia.
made to him at his camp, to confer
with the commissioners. The con-
sent OF Sitting Bull Was finally pro-
cured by audacity on the part OF
Maj. Walsh. which amounted TO
genius.

Death ofDr. Munsex.

Rev. DR.. w. E. Munsey, the great
pulpit orator of the Southern Methodist
Church died suddenly at JOnesburo,
Tuesday October %. A correspondent
of the Tribune, gives the following par
ticulars of his death: "He had been
suffering intensely from pain in his
head for several days past, and had
spoken of slight pain IN the region of
the heart. He said to his wife last night
that he did not expect to live through
the day, but as he was no worse than he
had been it was thought that he was
feeling respondent. His brOther-inlaw
Kennedy Blair has been with him for
two weeks past, but, thinking he was
better, had sent to the livery stable
for a horse to go home. The Doctor
was sitting in an arm chair, and Mr..
Blair, seeing that he seemed to be suf-
fering, asked him if he did not want to
lie down. The Doctor was then assist
ed to the bed, and seemed to be much
weaker than usual. After Mr.. Blair had
assisted him to bed, he stepped out OF
the room for some purpose. When he
came back, the Doctor was on his knees
by the bedside, and Mr.. Blair thinking
that he was having a nervous attack,
went to his assistance, and took him in
his arms. The Doctor called his name
once, threw his head on Mr.. Blair's
shoulder, and died instantly, and with
out struggle. For long while the
Doctors nervous system has been shat
tered, and he has been unable to un
dertake any work While he has been
in very bad health, his death was en-
tirely unexpected and was great shock
to the community" DIR. Munsey was
regarded by many as the most eloquent
and gifted minister of the church South.
He was called to one of the largest
churches in the city of Baltimore, where
for two years he labored most satisfac-
torily, gaining for himself great celeb
rity. Two years ago, he was transfer
red to New Orleans, but, health failing,
he went thence to St. Louis, where he
remained but month ort two. Broken in
health and spirits, he returned to Jones
boro, where he has lived stiI1 hoping to
regain his strength. The Doctors life
was insured in the Penn, Life Insurance
Company of Philadelphia Pa, for
So, 900.

Southern Favorites.

The best troupe we ever witnessed in
our lives This company of blind musi-
clans gave two of their successful and
entertaining exhibitions at the Court
House last Wednesday and Thursday
nights, to large and appreciative au-
diences. They remain unsurpassed by
anything we have yet DEMONSTRATING
a period of forty-five years-for music
al talent and skill. We feel our in
competency to speak of them as they
deserve. To see is to appreciate them.
They are giants in their calling, and
we'll deserve the praises heaped upon
them wherever they appear. The CON-
pany will please the most fastidious au-
dience and give satisfaction in vocal and
instrumental music. Misses Hassie
White and Antoinette Carr both have
cultivated and mellow notes.-the
sweetest and most perfect we have ever
listened to. The White brothers exc
cuted their parts well, especially
the handsome long-whiskered one re
ceived many smiles and won the admir-
alton of the ladies. Mr.. Cresswell
enlivened the audience with Irish selec-
tions which of course were amusing
and well received. Laughing was out
of the question, when the ''heavy man, "
Mr.. Beazley, was introduced to the
house Morristownians split their sides
nearly with laughter. The most sedate
longed to give vent to their wind-pipes,
and many did, Beazley was excellent
as comedian, and removed the dilapi-
dated linen off the shrubbery. We
admired the eloquent manner in which
Miss White delivered her poem BE
yond the Clouds" Miss Carr read
selection from "raised print" in an easy

herself most admirably. Their object
is that of charity-to found an
Industrial home for the blind, and we
commend them to every community of
the South as worthy of patronage.

Russo-TURKIsH WAR.
Determined Efforts Making to
Capture PIeyna.

LONDON, Oct. 81 The Daly
Neacs' Bucharest correspondent rep
resents the investment OF Plevna as
complete. The Russians appear de-
termined to surround Plevna by a
series OF works as the Germans did
Paris. The correspondent doubts
whether Pleyna is provisioned for
the winters seige. The correspon-
dent concludes: 81 must say now
that the question of second COM
paign is resoIutely faced and the
prospect looks more hopeful FOR the
Russians than at any time since
General Kreudeners defeat in
July"
It is reported that the Russians
are pursuing Ghazi Mukhtar and
have advanced as far IS Khorassan,
and Mukhtar has reiterated to Khor-
koi, between Khorassan and Hassan
Kaleh. Erzeronm is preparing for
a seige. The inhabitants are arm
ing. and reinforcements are hasten
ing up from Trebizond. Ghazi
Mukhtar. however, reports that the
Russians have not advanced further
than Mellidooz. on the western slope
of Saghanli Dagh. which is more pro-
bable than the frs statement.

Before the Farmers Convention,
which lately met in Knoxville. T.
Dixon Van Dyke and j. N. King.
from the COMMITTEES on public roads,.
made the following report. which is
entitled to the earnest coHsidera-
ton of every sensible farmer:
The condition of the public roads
throughout the entire section of East
Tennessee, with but few exceptions,
are such as to materially retard the
progress of the country. They are
far behind the spirit of the age in all
other public improvements.
They further report that the con-
dition of the roads is not only ons
of the greatest causes of emigration
but prevents emigration; and that
the principal cause of this is defect
i've legislation; and they are Of the
opinion that under the present sys-
tenn they cannot be brought up to
that standard that the public inter
ests demand. And in view Of this
they recommended the adoption oil
the following resolutions:
First. That no member of this con
vention viii support any man for seat
in the legislature who does not pledge
himself to an earnest effort to secure the
passage of such law or laws as will
remedy this eull
Second. That it is the sense of this
convention that the convict labor of the
8 4 z belongs to the public and should
alone be use on public improvements
and that as soon as it can be done with
out interfering with any contract of the
State now in existence said labor shall
be put upon the public roads.

it up sorrowfulIy yet gracefully. 1t
says: In truth the mission of the
Republican party ended with the
conquest of The South. the passage
Of the three last amendments to the
Constitution, and the reconstruction
or the Union. A party cannot live
without ideas or without a mission.
Called into existence TO perform a
most benefcent work, after record
of which it need not be ashamed, the
Republican party is now somewhat
stormiIy passing out of the public
view.

THEN AND NOW

On the subject of increasing the
army, the New Orleans Democrat
makes the following statement edito-
rally: After the Mexican war
the army was reduced to two regi-
ments of cavalry, four of artillery
and eight of infantry. But Congress
made large appropriations to supply
the militia OF the States with arms.
Thus encouraged the States organ
lied their militia into efficient con.
dition, and furnished them with arms
equal to those supplied to the regu-
lar army. The War Department
and the army had charge then of the
Indians, who though more Numerous
than now. were kept in peace and
prevented from mischief and vio-
lence by the army, at an expense OF
100000. Their management now
by the Interior Department costs the
government seven millions. and per-
petual wars and disturbances. We
earnestly hope that there will be a
perfect union and concert in the
Democratic party in resisting every
attempt to increase the standing
army and in supporting all measures
for the encouragement and main
tenance of an efficient militia in the
States"
