FOR INSURANCE MEN.
a New Ruling of the POstOtlice
Department..

No little confusion and annoyance has
occurred at the postoiiices throughout
the country, within the last week or so,
through the misapprehension on the
part of insurance men OF a provision
ofthe postal law which applies to them.
Until recently the law permitted them
TO send their policies through the mail
at paper rates. This act, however, was
reversed on the Sth of the present
month, and it provided that inasmuch
as 4 duly executed policy was not really
paper matter, it would hereafter he
subject to the full rate OF written mat
ter. Through either carelessness or Tor
their own reason, however, the insur-
ance men are still operating under the
old law, and as stated considerable
trouble 10 all concerned Is the result.

Miles Indian War Nipped in the Bud.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-To-day special
and positive instructions have been sent
by the War Department TO prevent
General Miles from bringing on an In
dian war, and telling him that the only
purpose in sending him into the field
was to protect the navigation of the
Missouri river.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Secretaries
McCreary, Thompson and Schurz con-
sidered to-day the Indian outlook in the
Northwest. They are unanimously OF
the opinion that every precaution to
prevent hcstilities with the Indians
should be taken, and anticipate no seri-
Gus conflict. 1t is thought 10 be the in
tention of Gen. Miles to reconnoiter
Sitting Bulls camp.
The Reason Why.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-There is not
a little talk here among the few stay-at-
home fashionabes, those who either
have not the means or inclination TO
leave the Capital, about the failure OF
Carl Schurz 10 win one of the eleven
daughters of Secretary Eyarts. Schurz
has been very devoted all winter to the
fair one, and il has been the much-talked
of coming event in high life, but it seems
that it is not TO come after all. There is
an ugly rumor that Carl has been too
devoted TO one Of his fair country
women, sweet singer, who, it is said,
has been provided with sinecure in
one of the Departments, and that this
story coming TO the ears OF Miss Evarts

This Is Just what VIC expected OF the gal
LIANT Withers. For years he has done yeo-
man service for bis party, and II he had
been less patriotic and less devoted to prin-
ciple than he has thus far proven himself to
be be would have done rs did the leader OF
the Mozart faction (by whom he was for
years opposed and neutrality-suspicious. to
use the power and influence OF bis party Tor
selfish purposes. Instead OF doing that,
neither defeat nor bad treatment at the
hands OF proiessed friends have driven him
from the advocacy OF principles upon which
he believed rested the prosperity OF his ma
tive State. and he now goes forth with the
God-spccd Of, all good conservatives to
strike in defence Of the platform and per-
petuity OF the Conservative party. Another

Dear Dispatch: The weIther here for the

Judge John Kerr, Of North Carolina. who

reioiced at his rapid rccuperatlon from 4
severe spell of sickness.
Colonel William Townes, ST., OF this

here for the last half century. died at his
home this morning. He was nearly ninety
wears old. He had been during his lie
sheriff OF the county for over twenty years,
y member OF the Legislature for several
terms, and was citizen Of influence and

is sad to break the golden links that bind

LEwJs's STORE, August II, 1879.
Editors Dispatch The wheat crop in
this section did not reach what the farmers
had hoped and believed it would yield. The
fine Woodyile farm OF Captain W. l.. Day,
on the North Anna, only produced from
ten to twelve bushels per acre, when It's
usual yield is from fifteen to twenty. The
corn crop, since the late rains, has come out
OF Kinks amazingly, and the farmers gene
rally believe they will make, to say the
least, an average crop. The tobacco crop
looks quite well, but is small, the drought
preventing many from setting out any at all.
Melons and all kinds OF summer fruit are
abandoned. The gardens look as il spring
had set in anew.
Politics are assuming loud and lively
tone-honor and integrity against repudia-
ton and disgrace. Several names are men
toned ir connection with the House OF
Delegates rs suitable persons to represent
tue county. With those who prefer honor
and prosperity to reputation and disgrace
the name of II. L. Boggs, Esq, is moSt in
favor. We hope and believe our OLD " bat
te-scarred county" will go for the right,
for her soil has not been baptized with the
blood Of brave men and heroes for naiight.
Many OF the people OF this county would
like to see our old friend Charles Horndon
in the Senate again, but we understand he
will not be 4 candidate.
Yours truly, FARMER.
