MEANWHILE. April G

Hon. j. Il. CHRISMAN:-
Learning with great pleasure that
you are one of the directors Of the
Natchez and Bropkhayen Railroad
and one of the members of the ex-
ecutive committee, and feeling, as l
do, q deep solicitude for the success
and prosperity of oh oneererise, e.-a
believing also that a few suggestions
from one thoroughly acquainted
with the faceof the country between
Natchez and Brookhaven will not be
ont Of place, / am emboldened to Of
fer the following suggestions in re-
lation to the locality of the road !:
Taking Natchez as the starting
point, follow the track of the old
road bed that leads from Natchez to
Hamburg; follow this road bed
about twenty miles. to a place ia
miliarly known as the forks of the
road. At or near this point leave
the old road bed and run due east
to the valley of Morgan's Fork, a
distance Of about nine miles, run
down the valley Of Mo-gan's Fork
on the south side of the creek to its
junction with Middle Fork, dis
lance Of about eight miles; cross
Middle Fork below the junction, and
run up the valley Of the Homochit-
to river to the mouth of McCalIs
Greek , q distance of about ten miles I;
cross the river above the mouth of
the creek, and run up the valley OF
the creek on the north side, to an ell
igible point between the old Calcote
place and Friendship church, dis
lance Of about nine or ten miles.
This brings the road within ten or
twelve miles of Brookhaven. The
country from this point to Brookha-
ven is a dry, level pine country the
most of the way, and admirably
adapted to the construction of the
road. I think survey of this route
| will show large advantages over any
other route that can be selected. Its
advantages are:
LIST, in the grading. From the
place it strikes the valley of Nor
gan's Fork to the place where il
leaves the McCalrs Creek valley, a
distance of near thirty miles, the
grading will be light in comparisoa
with any other route that can be
selected. r.
| E
End. 1t has the advantage in tim
Der over any other rosIf From

The STRIKING PoTTERs.
The knights OF Labor Come to Their
Rescue.

Special Dispatch 10 The Register.
P1rTsRrRcU. September 14.-The work
men in the potteries of East Liverpool,
Ohio, and the moulders employed by
Witherow & Gordon, Of New Castle, Pa,
who have been idle for several weeks.
Their employees in both cases demand that
they shall withdraw from the Knights OF
Labor. Resolutions of sympathy for them
were passed by the recent meeting IN New
York. To-day, Robert d. Layton, the
Grand Secretary, said: IL have told Mr..
A. c. Rankin to notify the strikers at New
Castle and East Liverpool that money
without limit will be sent them about the
last of next week. 1t is the
first time that the General Assembly
took part in a local fight, and the first time
il ever ordered an assessment, but both
were done unanimously. We decided that
no man. nor set OF men, can oStraclse the
yorkipgmen of this country Tor exercising
their privilege as American citizens, ana
stay in business. We don't care either
whether they belong to our order, or 10
any order. We will not have it. No ques-
ton of dollars and cents can enter into the
matter. Ihave nav orders direct from the
assembly, and not from the Executive
Rcard, and will continue
10 issue assessments until the
.East Liverpool and Witherow q uor-
don recognize a laborer's rights, or cease TO
do business. Now that is emphatic, but l
mean it"
The New York resolutions have hereto
fore been regarded as buncOmbe, but this
action arrays the entire organization against
the firms who have denied their employees
the rirht to enter labor societies.

RANDOLPH COUNTY.
The Coming War for Delegate-Circuit
Court-CrOp Prospects


BEVERLY. W. Va, September 1.-THE
democrats of this section are jubilant over
the result Of the conference of the State
Committee at Grafton, which terminated
in the withdrawal of Judge HOge and Mr..
pauiel B. Lucas from the Congressional
contest. On the other hand, the few Re-
publicans here are corresPOndingly down
IN the mouth, and realize the fact that de-
ta, is staring them in the face, and that
the Hon. John W. Mason will remain out
OF Congress for the next two years. All
that is necessary now is for the Piedmont
convention to give us good man and old
Randolph will roll up her usual Demo-
cratic majority.
legislative matters are beginning to as
sume some tangible shape. 1t being con-
coded that Tucker county is entitled to the
lex, Delegate, that county already has
three or four candidates in the field, with
tvo districts To hear from, and by the time
election day rolls around it is likely she
will have nearly as many candidates as
voters. IL Is not at all improbable that
Randolph will disregard the tacit under
Standing between the two counties and
place one of her own citizens in the field
iUr legislative hOnOrs, the argument being
that RandOlph's population is emitted To
delegate, and that 10 was contrary 10 the
desire OF her people that she should be
plCtd in q delegate district with Tucker,
Is size thereby lOOSes her influence and i'm
lOrtauce as county. The progressive
class of our people desire to be cut loose
ir,m Tucker.

Fences here on the l4th inst Judge Flem-
lrc will preside in place Of Judge Ice, who
have exchanged circuits for this term, in
Consequence of the latter having been in.

to dispose Of at this term.
The criminal docket is the lar ;est this
county ever had, and will probably take Hp
two or three weeks time beside the chancery

n4i cases 10 be tried are Charles and David

The extremely wet weather in this sec
hon has retarded the hay harvest to q con-
Ncerable extent, so much so that great
many farmers are not more than half done,
Where in a good season that class OF work is
generally over by this time. The wheat
was not more than half q crop, and what
here is Of is of an inferior quality. Corn
Is iOlerable good but will be late in matur-
ing. There will be about the usual crop,
which will make mp for the deficiency in

the way, is q notorious character, and is al

Bond stolen from the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, September IA United
States registered bond of the denomination
of 5000 was stolen from the office of the
Register of the United States Treasury ten
DAYS ago. The Secret Service force thus far
has failed to recover the bond or discover
the thief The robbery was kept quiet in
hope a clue would be found. The bond was
one which was exchanged from 81 to 3per
cent. and is complete. To negotiate it,
however, the thief will have to forge the
name of the person in whose favor it was
issued. The leading banks of the country,
have been informed, however, OF the theft,
and given the name OF the person to whom
the bond was issued,

The Large Inner Redoubt

on Arabi's left, which was well manned
and armed, still remained intact, but the
British troops were not TO be denied. With
another brilliant rush they were among
the enemy, bayoneting the gunners at their
guns and capturing the heavy artillery.
Thus we captured the key to the position.
In fifteen minutes from the first rush we
were its masters. The rattle of the enemy's
battery died away, while our men forsook
the bayonet and picked off any rebels who
showed fight in the retreat. On the south
the enemy stood few minutes longer, per-
haps quarter of an hour but the appear
ance of our cavalry on their right flank
soon fastened their movements. In few
minutes one rushing stream of fugittves
was making for Zagazig, flying out of all
their entertainments. A little later, Gen.
McPherson's Indian brigade
