TOMORROW, the 9Th of January, will
be the anniversary of the battle Of New
Orleans, General Jackson commanding
the American army and Geneaal Pack
enham the British. This was sixty-six
years ago, and very few of the partici-
pants ERE alive. As to numbers engaged,
killed and wounded, it does rank
as a great battle, but it
will always stand out as one of
the most distinctive and decisive events
of the last war between this country and
Great Britain. A treaty of peace had
been concluded, but the news travelled
slowly across oceans and continents in
those days, and the survivors of the bat
tie did not hear of this piece of news for
some time afterward. The battle rounded
up the splendid military career of General
Jackson, and had much to do with making
him President good many years after
wards, and in shaping political lines and
policies. 1t furnished some of the most
interesting and thrilling pages of Ameri-
can history, which can be read over at
least once year with pleasure and profit.

A Maids Fortune.

Wabash (Ind.) special: Several

a fortune of 81 100000 to two unmar-
ried sisters for use during their life.
time, and at their decease it was to go
to the heirs next in line of descent. A
short time since one Of the sisters
died, and now the possession of the
vast estate is vested in the remaining
woman, who is quite old. Faigley was
an uncle to Jacob and Samuel
Unger and Mrs. Adam Prince,
of this county, and recently they
discovered that they were the
rightful heirs OF the property, all
of Faigley's other relatives being
dead or more distantly connected.
There exists not the shadow of a
doubt that the fingers can gain pos
session of the estate as soon as the life
tenure of the one maiden sister ceases.
A few weeks ago they received letter
from Pennsylvania, stating that the
woman was dissipating the fortune,
within a few months selling an inte-
rest in coal mine worth $4,000, and

Virginia Debt SettIement.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, January 5.-General
Malone has been busy for several
weeks in preparing the bill for settling
the Virginia debt question which will
be introduced in the Legislature at
Richmond next Monday or Tuesday.
The bill is based upon the principle
that in public debts the indebtedness
follows the territory, and that therefore
West Virginia, set off from Virginia
and made an independent State, ought
in justice bear its proportion of that
part of the State debt which
was contracted before the sep
aration, and of the interest,
whether paid by Virginia or unpaid,
which has accrued since the Separa.
tion, West Virginia having paid moth.
ing since it became State. West
Virginia composes one-third of the
original State of Virginia, and it is
held by General Malone that as the
separation of this region from the
State took away a large part Of its
richest mineral and other wealth, it is
but fair that the new State should
assume one-third of the total debt,
including the interest account.
Numerous calculations were neces-
sary before the exact proportion of
interest on various bonds could be
ascert9ined and apportioned.
The interest was carried for the
whole period of the war, but not com.
pounded, and great care was used to
omit no charge of this kind. The
final result states the proper debt of
Virginia in July. 1882, at $21 OBS, ,377,
of which sum $l6,S43, 900 is principal,
and $4, 1872, 900 interest past due. The
bill to be introduced next Monday
makes provisions for the regular pay
ment of the interest on this debt
General Malone asserts that there is
not cent of repudiation in the bill,
and that when the debt statement is
made public in detail, as it will be
next week, no banker or accountant
in the country will declare it any
thing but honest and fair.
