SHILOH

Shiloh was a great misfortune. At
the moment of his fall, Sydney Johnston,
with all the energy of his nature, was
pressing on the routed foe. Crouching
under the bank of the Tennessee river,
Grant was helpless. One short hour
more TO Johnston would have completed
his destruction. The second in com
neutrality-suspicious. on another and
distant part OF the field, and before he
could gather the reins of direction, dark
ness fell and stopped the pursuit. Dur
ing the night Buell. reached the northern
bank of the river and crossed his troops.
Wallace, with a fresh division from be-
low, got up. Thither they advanced in
the morning, found the confederates
rioting in the plumber of captured camps,
and drove them back with Ioss. But
all this was as nothing compared with
tie calamity of Johnston's death. Ed
ucated at West Point, Johnston remained
in the United States army for eight
years, and acquired thorough knowl'
edge of the details of military duty.

Ofmost of the important battles Of the
war | have written except Shiloh, on
which | propose to dwell. but will first
saw a few words about Gettysburg, be-
cause of the many recent publications
thereanent. Some facts concerning this
| battle are established beyond dispute.
In the first days fighting part of Lee's
army defeated a part OF Meades. In
| tending to continue the contest on that
| field. a commander not smitten by idiocv,
would desire to concentrate and push the
advantage gained by the previous sue
cess and its resultant morale. Instead of
attacking at dawn, Lees attack was
postponed until the afternoon OF the fol
/ lowing dsv in consequence Of the alb
sence of Longstreet's corps Federal
| official reports show that some of Meade's
CORDS reached him on the second day
several hours after sunrise, and one or
two late in the afternoon. 1t is positively
asserted by many officers present, and of
high rank and character, that Longstreet
was, on the first day, nearer to Lee
than Meade's re-en orciDg CORPS to
this commander, and even nearer than a
division of Ewell's corps, which reached
the ground in time 10 share in the first
DAVIS success. Now, II nowhere appears
in Lees report of Gettysburg that he
ordered Longstreet to him or blamed him
for hardness but his report admits err
rors, and quietly taxes the responsibility
for them on his own broad shoulders. 4
recent article in the public press, signed
by General Longstreet ascribes the fail
ure at Gettysburg to Lees mistake,
which he (Longstreet) in vain pointed
out, and demonstrated against. That
any subject involving the possession and
exercise of intellect should be clear to
Longstreet and concealed from Lee is a
startling proposition to those possessing
knowledge of the two men. We have
biblical authority for the story that the
angel in the path was visible to the ass,
though invisible to the seer, his master;
but suppose that, instead of shifting the
honest. stupid animal, Bslaam had ca
ressed him and then been kicked by HIM,

Rev. Gill, of Point Pleasant, will

Our public school has been in pro-
gress since the 4th inst. Mr., Yea
ger expresses himself as being salts
fed with his situation, this year.
He thinks the school will prove to
be one of the most interesting that
he has ever taught, As usual, sew
eral pupils returned to school from
Robinson District, without transfers.
But they have all been dismissed in
compliance with the action of the
Board of Education, at their last reg
ular session. Our school has always
been imposed upon by the attend
anco of quite a number of Robinson
pupils. Now, if the Robinson Board
of Education would pay over their
Quota of school-tax for all time past,
in which they have shared the ad'
vantagcs of our school, we would
have a surplus sufficient of itself to
run the school two, or three terms
In due consideration of this state of
affairs, our Board Of Education has
decided that one of two things must
DO done, namely Robinson pupils
must be properly transferred, so that
pay can DO drawn Tor thelr attehu'
ancc, or else they must not attend at
all. We think tho proper way to
settle this matter would be to extend
the limits of Graham, sous to enclose
those families of Robinson, who can
be better accommodated here than
elsewhere.
We suggest that tho County STU
pcrintendont call Il Teachers Insti'

HoY-SrERRETr.-On Wednesday.
November 10, 1878, at Christ Church,
Point Pleasant, West Virginia, by
Rev. T. H. Lacy, Mr.. Frank D. Hoy,
and Miss Helen V. Sterrett.
Long before the hour appointed
for the ceremony, the church was
filed beyond its seating capacity, by
relatives, friends and the well-wish-
crs of the couple who were to be
joined in holy wedlock.
Promptly, ut the appointed hour,
rustling of trains, &C., peculiar to
the occasion, announced the arrival
of Frank and Helen, accompanied
by their attendants, in the Vesti,
buIe, and after undergoing slight
review, made their appearance in
the Church, when according to the
beautiful Episcopal ceremony, Frank
took unto himself a wife. May he
never have occasion to regret his ac'
ton in that hour.
The Bride and her Maids, Miss
Josie sterrett, Miss Mary Sterrett
Miss Jessie Thomas and Miss Mittie
Eastman, were dressed in spotles'
white, while the Groom with his at
tendants, were dressed in black, with
the indispensable white vest.
After the ceremony at the Church
was concluded, the wedding party
with some invited friends, repaired
to the hospitablo home of the Brides
mother, Mrs. L. NJ, sterrett, where
bountiful, and elegant supper was in
waiting, of which we ate and were
satisfied. The affair was one OF ele
gance throughout, and has ELECTED

HARTFORD CRY ITEMs.-Today
the weather looks sad aud gloomy,
and in our imagination we seem to
hear the doleful murmurings steal
ing back from the world Of departed
beauty. But our faith opens a vista

and new life will thrill through the
natural world again, &c.

Humming-bird No. 2, Saturday
Found her a very fast and pleasant
boat to travel on. On her return
trip however, the mettle in the fuse
bolt in the back part of tho boiler
melted, letting the water escape from
the boiler, which interfered SO. with
the draught as to render it impoSsi-
BILE to keep up steam. The Relief
coming up about the time, took her
in tow as far as Middleport, where a
new plug was put in. We left there
about 10 o'clock, arriving at Hart
ford about 10t o'clock, making the
5 miles in 80 minutes, stopping once
on the way.

been confined to his room for several
weeks. The Doctor says he can re-
store him to health again, which will
be a great blessing to his family and
very gratifying to his numerous
friends. If the Doctor should sue
coed in this, it will add much to his
popularity as a physician. He is
now on visit to a friend in this

Louis in few days.

The Way OF Our FATHERs.-At
this time in Mason County, at the
Front Door Of the Court House, there
is a large number Of written notices
posted, Some offering land ut Trust
Sale, some of them Sheriff and Con.
stable sales, some attachment noti-
ces, some applications for new roads
and change Of roads, &C., all taking
the form of legality, but really a
swindie to the persons whose prop.
erty is to be sold, and we suppose the
same thing is true in every county
in the State. The fault is not with
the officers, but with the law. 1t is
relic of the early ages, at a time
when there were no printing Offices
or newspapers, and people were less
intelligent than now. It is shame
that West Virginia, who boasts of her
intelligence and refinement, should
be forced by her Lawmakers to ad-
here to the customs of an hundred
years ago. The press of the State
should speak out boldly against a
practice that is retarding the growth
and development of West Virginia,
and through such laws proclaiming
to the world that the people who re-
side within her boundaries are I'M
educated and illitterate, and making
us the butt of the jokes and ridicule
of all the States that surround u.s.
We know that if the press will come
fearlcssly advocating the wiping out
from our statute books such laws as
permit these written notices, they
will be repealed. No real estate
should be sold at forced sale without
being advertised in some newspaper
at least four weeks, to give it all the
publicity possible. For if a mans
real estate must he sold to pay his
debts, it is to his interest that 1t
should bring a good price. By the
ordinary way of advertising at the
court house door, the property sell
1
dom sells for enough to discharge the
lien, because only those interested
know of the sale. The press of the
State has for some months so devoted
itself to the interests of tho people
in the important election just passed
that it ceased to complain of the in
justice practice upon it as well as
the people by men whom it had
been instrumental in raising to the
dignity of lawmakers. 1t is time
now that it should speak out against
these sold fogy" laws, We doubt if
our new crop Of Legislators have been
anywhere properly sounded upon
the question. We know we have
not spoken to Mason's representa-
tives upon the subject, but they are
intelligent and progressive men, and
We are satisfied to trust the matter
in their hands without interviewing
them. If the press of the State will
do its duty, the legislature will do
its part.
