Fired on by Moonshiners,

Fired on by MOOnshiners.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Internal Reve- nue Bureau has received a report from Col lector Rives, of Southwestern Virginia, which states that few days ago Supervising Depu- ty Collector Latham, of Collector Rives' dis trict, learned that several parties from Shoot ing Creek and Runnut Bay Creek, near the dividing line of Floyd and Franklin counties. were retailing liquor in the woods near Floyd Court House. He organized posse, but was unable to do anything, owing to the dense overgrowth. The next day. with the same posse, nine in number, armed with pistols only, he started out under the lead of trusty guide, with view of destroying an illicit cred. Upon reaching Martins mill about seven miles from Floyd Court House and three miles from the distillery, the party dismounted and travelled on foot. leaving their horses in charge of one of their number. The illicit distillery was destroyed. Before half a mile in return had been passed the party were fired upon at a distance of about three hundred yards by 8 number of men secreted in the woods. This fire was kept up whenever the raiders came in sight. The bullets sometimes struck very near and in one or two instances within a foot of those aimed at. The skirmish was continued until the horses were reached. The posse shielded themselves while making to their horses. by wading in creeks and keeping behind lodges of rocks They were compelled to mount hurriedly, while bullets whizzed around them. They ran the gauntlet of a hot fire which came from the cliffs on both sides. Altogether there were about fifty men scattered along who engaged in the fight, and about one hun dred and fifty shots were fired by them. The raiding party fired single shot. It was aimed at man who came within seventy-ffve yards, and fired at the guide from behind tree. It was only pistol shot, and did no damage.

weaver's Greeting to His Maine Broth


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-General Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, ar rived here this morning and left tonight for West Virginia, where he will make several speeches. Before leaving here tonight he sent the following telegram to General H. W. Plaisted:
 I congratulate you on the grand fight you have made in Maine for the National Green back Labor party It will inspire our friends with confidence and strengthen them for the great battles which remain to be fought. I hope you are elected It is most amusing to see the Democratic leaders masquerading be- hind the Greenback party and calling our victory Democratic boom. They fail to tell the public that you were nominated as a straight Greenbacker, and that the Demo- crats could not have carried the State. They fail also to state that they requested you to make pledges to them when they gave you their Endorsement and that your peremptorily declined that their State Central committee subsequently demanded pledges of you, and upon your second refusal said committee re- quested you to withdraw as candidate and that you declined to do so. The Democrats in Maine showed their good sense by voting the Greenback ticket Let us all rejoice

 WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-General Francis A. Walker has received the following inter- esting but unexpected communication:
 ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. IT. To Co., Fau,ac5s 4. Wazker, Ad5utaet Gene raZ '. s. A9mgy.
 Dear sir: At the engagement at Ream's station in August, 1864 between the Hancock corps and the confederate troops, by the fort une of war you were made prisoner and de- prived of your arms Your sword came in- to my possession and I wore it from that time until the surrender at Appomattox. Iprized it highly as memento of a severe engage ment, but it's value was doubly enhanced as coming from Q corps from which we had re- ceived more hard knocks than trophies. I have endeavored to keep it's blade as bright as when it came into my possession, and I hatter myself that it's lustre was never dimmed by an unsoldierly act of mine. Civ ing you credit for pure Q patriot in your defence of the stars and stripes as I claim for myself in my support of the stars and bars, and approaching Q soldiers love for his arms, it affords me sincere pleasure to return this sword to your possession, which I would have done long since had I known your ad- dress. Very respectfully and truly yours

could be done in view of the destruction OF
the great dining hall, the kitchen and
bakery Gov. Gear had telcgraphed Mr..
b. in the evening that he was il Chicago
on his way to Rochester, and could not be
here until Friday, saving go ahead and
do the best you can" So Trustees Bryant
and Horton have concluded TO utilize the
two cottages at the northwest corner of
grounds. each IS feet square, for tempo
rary dining room aud kitchen. and to move
the chapel. which is 60 feet by 38 feet,
to the foundation Of the destroyed dining
hall, and fit it up for an eating place as
soon as possible. They do this because
the cellar is largo and makes q first rate
store room for butter, eggs. vegetables,
meats, etc. Then when the Governor
arrives it viii be seen what can be done
toward erecting permanent buildings for
the purposes for which the destroyed ones
were gsed. Inspection of the great ovens
of the bakery shows that they are ruined
and that pew onas will have to be built :.
