We attended Rock Eill Church. The

we attended Rock Kill Church. The
place was filed, and many could moi
get within the doors. The people there
seem to attend church very regularly.
On Wednesday, the 21st, six Of MS
visited Harper's Ferry, some twenty
miles distant. We made an early
start, reaching the Ferry at about hall
past nine. We had very nice and ro-
mantle ride, being in the midst of the
Blue Ridge mountains.
As we approached the Ferry, and
nesred the Potomac River, we rounded
a mountain named Loudon Heights,
several hundred feet high, rocks pro.
jecting from the mountain and extend
ing over the road, making one feel very
timid.
Looking across the river we see the
Baltimore 6. Ohio Railroad running at
the foot Of the South mountain or Mary
land Heights. 1t is very steep, almost
perpendicular, and several hundred
feet high. The writer then goes on to
relate the journey to Harper's Ferry,
and tells about the place, but space for
bids these interesting details. He ther
goes on in the strain given below.
We at length came upon dwelling
occupied by an aged woman, whose
name is Mrs. 1nseld, probably it sounds
familiar to many readers Of the Repub
lican, who have also visited the place.
She was very entertaining; telling us
many Incidents which she witnessed
when war was raging at Harper's Ferry
and Maryland heights. She has been
living at this place for thirty odd
years.
She says, she well remembers the
time when 150C men were ordered to
cut the trees on the mountains; such
a noisy time they made in falling
the trees and such crashing, it was
hard for her to bear and then came
the soldiers who occupied the place,
there being several thousands of these.
There was great confusion and excite
ment during the time, and this aged
woman and her husband, were in great
fear of being disturbed. They kept
watch all through the night time and
were in readiness to flee should they
be disturbed. II seems that they Sc
cured a flag from one ofthe armies and
raised it at the house, and then
received some Of the sick and wounded.
Orders were distributed to the officers
that they should net molest any house
that could show flag.
Leaving the house, we went to the
cool spring, which furnished the water
to the thirsty soldiers. From here we
returned to our ambulance ate, our sup
per, and started for the West Virginia
shore just across the river. We went
through Harper's Ferry, place which
looks as though 1t might be very old,
as there are many dwellings aud manu-
featuring places deserted. All that is
left of the armory is the foundation.
We arrived home about ten o'clock,
well pleased with our trip to the Fer
Try. 1t was one which will be remem-
Ibered by us all. Everything passed
off nicely and the day was very pleas
ant.
Loudoun county is sum mer resort Of
at least in this neighborhood, there
being several hundred boarders there
most of them from Washington.
In a few days the time came to return
home, 50 regretting that we must par
with our friends we bade them good byt
thanking them for their kind and care
full attention given US. We reached
home on the 26th. W. T. 5.

Advices from Panama of the 24th

Loa was blown up by torpedo in
the Bay Of Callao on the Sd inst, and
at least $50 lives were lost. The tor
pedo, containing 300 pounds OF dy-
Mantle, was placed in batteau and
covered with a false bottom resting on
springs, which were kept down by q
choice cargo of fruits and fowls. The
Loa picked up the batteau and began to
unload it, and when the weight on the
springs was sufficiently lightened to set
free the machinery connected with
the torpedo, the explosion took place
with tremendous effect.

"There is no such person in Queen

that a reporter Of that journal went to

they say that no such person has been

negotiated with anybody for any such

NO NEW COUNTIES.

An effort is made to disintegrate The
county of Bolivar. We learn that n
petition will come before the present
Legislature asking that its territory
be dlsjointed and two counties made
out OF it. We are informed, however,
by prominent citizens of that county
mat the measure does not meet with
lavor from the best class of It's people.
They have got accustomed to the
boundaries as they stand, and want
them to remain as they are. 1t might
possibly prove some little advantage
to the Radical party to make another
county in that negro-preponderating
section, but the present Legislature
is not specially interested in promo
ting that interest. They have other
work on hand now, and their mission
Is not to fortify, strengthen or build
up hadicalism. In the heyday of the
defunct party, it was apparently
one OF their chief studies how to carve
out new counties, alter boundaries,
make it necessary to build new Court
houses, and jails, and multiply the
number of officers and jobs. What
ever scheme promised the creation of
another office, or offered Job, COM
manded instantly the craftsmanship
Of Radicalism. But this is not the
Democratic style. Besides, times
have changed, and there does not now
'xlst SO great public necessity for
increasing the offices. The inconve-
llences and expense to the people, and
lot the wants of some adventurous
md seedy patriot, are points which
PRESENT members of the Legislature
re disposed to look at.
There will probably be no new
ounties made for several years, and
he necessity for making them must
'e clear before the proposition is ever |

Greenbackers and the Caucus.


To the Editor OF the Comet,
The question which has been so wei
and ably presented in your paper, u,
to whether the Greenback- Democrat,
shall be admitted into the caucus, is
very lively to become one of no praeti-
cal consequence. There is an evident
EFFORT being made to put them in such
position as to preclude tho possibility,
or even the policy, OF inviting them
into the caucus by getting them COM
mitted to some form of concerted action
or organization among themselves DO.
fore the caucus is held. II is under
stood that General West, one of tn.
Grecnback leaders, is personally desir-
Gus of seeing Major Barksdale elected
to the Senate, and that he has devised
this plan OF Strengthening him and
weakening his opponents, with the
Greenback vote by keeping it out of
the caucus altogether. This vote,
with the exception of General West,
and perhaps one or two others,
would be thrown against Major BarlSs-
dale, and divided between his oppo-
nents; and, therefore, it is to be kept out
of the caucus, where it would do him
harm to be formally thrown against
HMM the election, when, if he should
be the Democratic nominee, it would
do him none. 1t is not thought that |
this purpose is entertained, or even
by many of the individual
Grecnbackers, some of whom protest
that they are not parties to any such
scheme, and will not be drawn into
1t. II has been so quietly conducted,
however, that some of them are en-
Lirely ignorant, and others only par
tally informed as to what has been
lone, but the Clarion Of yesterday
speaks advisedly, and seemingly by
authority when it says one Greenback
caucus has already been held, and
certain resolutions adopted as to their
financial position. The fact that this
statement is honestly denied by some
VI the Greenbackers as being entirely
without foundation, shows how quick
they are being committed to posi-
ion which will deprive Them of the
of expressing the choice
t their constituents in the Senatorial
lection.
Is it not time for those who are
OF inclined to be used in this way, to (
Ike some steps to prevent it?
Respectfully,
GREENBACK DEMOCRAT.
