one rs nc appealed from Judge Massey to
Judge Marshall, Judge Tauey, and others,
that on this line the Senator had caught n
Tartar. Tucker was simply overwhelming !;
and this seemed to be the universal indg-
ment OF the discussion. He left nothing
unanswered that had been said. and made a
powerful speech besides.
Massey and Tucker both had another
short reply, which consisted in large part Of
thrusts at each other and sharp repartee,
In which Tucker again proved too much for
his adversary. At the conclusion CT each
OF fuckers speeches three rousing cheers
for Tucker were given with will. Our
friends think that We gained greatly by the
discussion yesterday, and that this county
is entirely safe. There seems to be no doubt
that REIMBURSEMENT Is sadly on the wane in
all this section of country. FRANKLIN.

The PrGsbYtGry of Winchester


met in Mooretield, West Va. October 1st
Although this is one Of the most remote
points in our bounds, yet twenty-one min
listers and twelve ruling elders were pres
emf. Only two ministers were absent. and
both excused. This is one OF many facts
corroborating the report on the state Of re-
liglon adopted by Presbytery, which report
exhibits the gratifying fact that the past
year has been one OF great prosperity. A
number OF revivals OF religion and gen.
era lookinS-up Of the work OF the Church
was brought to light In this report.
Two iiccntiates-viZ, Rev. J. S. Sher-
rard and Rev. W. I. CoSner-Were oldaiu-
ed rs eyangel:sts and sent TO Grant county.
The proposition to divide the Synod was
rejected by vote Of eighteen TO eleven.
This shows decided gain in favor OF d.
vision since the last discussion OF the ques-
licn. A committee was appointed to con-
slider the petition of number OF Presbyte-
rians living in the vicinity OF Winchester
who desire to DE set off as separate church.
All but three OF said petitioners belong to
the Loudouu-Street church.
The next meeting will be held in Bunker
Hill, April, 1880. SHENANDOAH.

The Indian War.

NOTHING NEW AT HEADQUARTERS-CAPTA
DODGE'S CoL0RED TROOPS COMMENDED,
&C., &C.
CHICAGO, October 9.-Nothing new re-
garding the Indun war has been received
at headquarters to-day. Captain Dodge is
commended for having made a perilous
march through an infested country with
forty men, and forced his way through the
savages into the beleaguered camp. The
Indians have peculiar hatred for these col
ored troops, which the latter return with
interest.
General Mcrrit's report is criticised as
giving no important fact respecting the
situation on MILK river, and rs being taken
up with laudation OF various subordinates,
the nature of whose services he fails to dis
close, and whom he should at any rate COM
mend in future report.
1t is believed that the consolidated COM
mands are by this time en- route for the
Wbite-River agency. The greatest interest
is manifested for the safety OF that post.
The report that the Indians are killing the
men and carrying of the women is dis
credited.
MERRITT's MARCH TO THE RELIEF OF
PAYNE'S COMMAND.
RAwLINs, WYOMING, October 9.-Lieu-
tenant Alvey, OF General NerIitt's CON-
mand, says:
1--WE marched continuously Saturday
night, not hating single moment, and
making seventy miles in lwenty-four hours.
The command left RaNli Friday, October
Sd. They marched forty miles that day,
and the second day thirty miles. The men
endured the march Splendidly. They real
lied that their comradesin-arms were sur
rounded. and that their safety depended
upon the quick movement Of their COM
mand. Several horses gave out and they
had to be abandoned, and died on the road
side. The command arrived at the scene
OF action Sunday, October 5th. When
Merritt's advance guard reached Payne's
| pickets they were commanded by them %
| halt, and in order to inform Captain Payne
| that it was the relief column that was ap-
preaching caused his trumpeters to sound
the officers call. Captain Dodge's company,
OF the Ninth cavalry, was there when Mer-
rift arrived. He arrived on Thursday, and
had to cut his way in. In the engagement
be lost thirty-two out OF his thirty-fve
horses. Drs. Grimes and kimball went to
work caring for the wounded Immediately
upon their arrival al the command"
General MerrittS march was great mill
tary success. Major Thornbllr CHS body
was recovered. General Merritt does not
mention having met any Indians, and the
report Of his battle is not credited.

LoTTERY-TICKETs AND THE Postal SER
vIcE.-Postm master Hartranft, of Phladel-
phia, has called the attention OF the Post
Office Department to practical dithcuty
arising out Of the recent order founded on
Judge Freeman's opinion constituting the
statutes. What is to be done by postmas-
tiers With letters addressed to persons known
to be lottery agents, but not designated as
such in the superscriplion of tue letter
Judge Freeman regards the point rs being
of too great importance to be decided upon
loosely orat.oncc. 1t is always possible, he
admits, that portion at least OF the letters
addressed to even tue most notorisuS lot
terry agents may be OF personal and pri-
vate character, and as postmastels are for
hidden to open letters upon any preteXt,
and it is not possible TO assume the con-
tents Of any letter from its superScription,
.. all letters Of the kind above indicated will
be delivered" until further notice. In
other words, the late order is rescinded.
