the following anecdote relating TO hin

lie received an offer of 100000 for
some railroad property owned oy him.
He had no time to consider the offer
carefully, but concluded he would tele.
graph his acceptance. He bad at the
same time occasion to telegraph to his
old friend and companion in most Of his
stumplng tour, Gen. W. II. Gibson,
who was IN neighborlng town, and,
being bothered at the time by dozen
claims upon his attention, he got the
addresses of the two dispatches mixed.
The acceptance Of the business offer
went Off directed TO Gen. Gibson, at
Pine street, New York. Next day
came reply from the telegraph Office
that no Gen. Gibson could be found in
Pine street. by that time Mr.. Foster
concluded that 1t would be better TO hold

large audience. Bright Eyes wa,
introduced after some preliminary ex

wrongs Of her people. The young
lady's narrative was very interesting,
and was delivered in very good En-
glisb, and with a pleasant voice. She
said that she was a member Of the
tribe, and she kew the things Of which
she spoke. She told the story of the
chiefs who had been invited to yisi'
Washington and treat with the great
father. Their friends waited long T.
heai of their arrival at Washington,
but in vain. Months afterward they
reached home weary, foo,-sore, AMI
almost dead. They had been deceiy-
ed, and Instead Of taking them t.
Washington the agents had taken
them to tho Indian Territory, and left
the choice of remaining there and
selecting a home tor their tribe or Of

chosen the latter, AID when their pc =

The INDIAN SCHOOL AT CARLISLE, PA.
Another bath of Indian children will
reach the new school at Carlisle, Pa
during the present week. The exper-
imcnt will be begun with with $50

any distinct promise of success the
ultimate number will probably be
about 400, which is ull that can be nc
commOdated comfortably in the bar

stood, however, that the success ofthis
undertaking viii warrant its repetition

Gen. Sherman regards it with very
friendly feelings, and has suggested
that other government posts, now oc-
cupied by small bodies of soldies mere.
ly that the property shall be prevent
ed from going to destruction, shnll be
turned into schools for Indian chill
dren. The advantages claimed tor
the scheme are, that it educates both
sexes. that it deals with young chill
dren, and that it subjects them to
good home influences such as cannot
always be obtained at the agency
schools.

Where Does IL stand

In the discussion of any great public
issue, the people like to know where
the representative men and newspapers
stand. They want them to have the
independence to stand bodily en- one
side or the other. Hon. j. 7. Harris
was the last man, and only when hard
pushed.-to declare where he stood, IN
regard 10 our State Debt.
We have read the Shenandoah Her
aid for tie last year, and we must con.
fess. we are unable 10 know where II
now stands in regard to this matter: ~
has q GOOD subscription list and Yields
considerable influence, and It's readers
look TO it for some decided position IN
this canvass. II can not be neutral, or
assume an unheard OF neutrality. we
see it mum. when there are no arllcies
in bv CORES pondents favoring the pre-
sent settlement of the State Debt. AS
soon as one of these articles appears,
we find a severe reiolnder, in lis edi-
torial columns. Ii seems that these
articles may be admitted; but must be
denounced; and when no such articles
appear. mum is the way. Let the
Herald ITSELF write some solid edl'
torials defining and maintaining Its po.-
sition on the State Debt. AS now, II
is neither fish, flesh, nor towl."
A READER OF THE HERALD
The above appears in the last issue
of the Shenandoah Valley. Had the
writer been a constant reader OF the
Shenandoah HERALD, be would nave
known the position ofthis paper. Inc
HERALD, in unqualified terms, express
ed its appreciation of the settlement un'
der the McCulloch bill. Capt. Riddle
berger. one of the proprietors OF the
paper. was absent at the time, but I'M
mediately after bis return, he stated in a
card. over his own signature, that he
dissented from the views expressed
upoR this subject by the HERALD
Having entered into an active canvass
of the question, he certainly had reason
10 object to his ocn paper being used
70 assist his opponent. To relieve both
himself and partners Of embarrassment
upon this question, he submitted a
proposition to sell his interest in the
paper, but for private reasons, the sale
was not made. On account OF these
differences Of opinion, the HERALD has
not taken decided part in canvass
in which one of its proprietors was a
candidate. Mr.. Williams and the
writer are both decided in their views
upon tie Debt question, and as firmly
believe that the settlement under the
McCulloch bill will prove beneficial to
the interests of the State, as Capt.
Riddleberger believes it would be dele
FERROUS. For mere policy or consis-
teHcy as our neighbOr Of the Valley
would call it, none Of the proprietors
were willing to sail under false colors.
They would prefer that the readers of the
HERALD should know their individual
views rather than advocate a cause in
which they do not agree. j. H. G..
