D4ington Republican.

W11ormer letter, published in The
Republican, the writer stated that the
brigade to which he belonged (Kemper's
OF Longstreet's grand division) had been
defeated and more than decimated in
killed, wounded, and captured the day
before at Frazier's farm. Accordingly,
in order to give the brigade, chance to
get together all its available men, stray
glers, cooks, and even baggage guards
who had been left behind-an were to
take their places in the ranks, for the
coming battle-it was placed a good dis
tance in the rear of the right wing,
which early in the morning began to
take position as rapidly as the dense
pine and scrub oak forests would permit.
So that the men of the brigade had a good
chance to guess, by noting the bulk of
the troops passing and the direction
taken, where the storm of battle would
be most likely to burst forth-that is to
say, on our right.
Finally, late in the afternoon, the or
der for the assault was passed along the
right wing, and the deadly work began,

as the first line of the confederates

In order to properly appreciate the
desperation of this battle it is necessary
briefly to describe the position held by
Gen. McClellan's army. The River
road, which at that time was a very we'll
built and wide road for that part of the
country, for a couple miles runs along
Malvern hill, which is q high bluff of a
hundred feet or SO, and which abruptly
drops into the plain below. Along the
crest the federal general had planted
cannon as thickly as could be done to
work them effectively. Both of his
wings were refused, in military ~parlance,
toward the river, and were protected
by gunboats so anchored as to obtain a
partial %enflading fire on an assault

When, as above stated, battle was

distance of the fighting line, and here
it remained, sheltered by a point of
woods through which only an occasional

the oar Of the battle increased the
curiosity of the men to know what was
being done became almost frantic,
and numbers, the writer among them,
sought permission to "shin up" the

view of the scene Of action. A good
view of the slain above described was
here obtained. and it was easy to per-

ceived royal greeting, as he landed.
He was received at Mayville by Lewis
Miller, president of the Chautaoua
assembly, and other leading gentle
men; also, by the ) 0uag mems Blaine
and Logan club, of Jamestown, and
escorted to the hotel, where he was
greeted by cheers from a large number
of ladies and gentlemen.
He was addressed by Rev. John H,
Vincent, as follows:
"Gen. Logan, it gives me great
pleasure to welcome you to our sum-
mer resort on Lake Chautaqua. We
have here people from all portions of
the land. The republicans of the
grand army OF the republic have just
been with us. 1t is our purpose to
infuse wholesome and worthy ideas
through this and all lands, and to pro
mote education and culture in the
homes of all the people.
Gen. Logan responded with tie

ton has become worldwide. 1t has
sent out to the American people its
rills of influence and knowledge. until

others"
Three cheers were given for Gen
Logan and three for DR.. Vincent.

For Ladies Only.

From the Railway Age,
1t appeared long ago as if the per-
lection of luxury and convenience had
been reached in sleeping cars, but i'm
provements continue to be devised.
Two very excellent novelties are to
be found in several buffet sleeping
cars recently built by the Pullman
company for the Chicago and Alton
line between Chicago and Kansas
City. Lady travellers have constant
occasion to complain of the selfishness
of the members Of their own sex to-
ward each other, as illustrated by the
way in which women will take pos
session Of the ladies' room of the
car and hold it against all corners
while she liesurely proceeds to make
her toilet No matter if half a score
impatiently for admittance she will
calmly hold the fort until the last hair
is smoothed down and the last hue of
health is applied to her cheek. Occa-
Sionally a woman has been known to
take possession of this apartment,
lock herself in and settle down to
read a novel, utterly unmindful OF
the repeated attempts of other wo-
men to obtain admission. The sleep
ing car companies have long
tried to devise some plan of
preventing this cruelty of women to
women, ssuch as having no locks on
the door, but witout success. AT last,
however, the happy thought occurred
OF separating the washing room from
the retiring room, giving each its in
dependent entrance, and this has been
put in practice in the cars referred to.
1t will prove a great addition to the
comfort and peace of mind of the
lady passeugerS.

Louisville press club, and especially
composed for the occasion. Flags

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Resolutions.
RICHMOND, August 16-In the SEN
ate to-day Mr.. Lybrook introduced a
resolution looking to the total repu-
diation of the state debt. The pream-
BILE sets forth that every proper, reas-
enable effort had repeadly been made
by the state to effect settlement with
the holders of the bonds, which efforts
met with uncompromising resistance,
captious opposition and technical
quibbliDg; that the states legal res
possibility, patience and resources are
now believed to be exhausted in efforts
to maintain the credit of Virginia,
that no substantial, equivalent or val
liable consideration can be shown
upon which to base these bonds; that
the holders are not bona fide creditors
of Virginia, but merely adventures
and spectators who have already re
allied from the bonds much more than
their original cost; that a syndicate
had been formed by these spectators
for the purpose of perpetuati2g the
legal prosecution of the people of Vir-
ginia, and preventing settlement of
this unproven debt, so that they may
not have their claims tested, but may
continue to draw the interest thereof;
that certain debts are positively pro-
hibited by article IA, section 4, of the
federal constitution; that we express
our unalterable opposition to the pay
ment of any part of this alleged debt,
or interest thereon; and that the aud
itor of public accounts be instructed
forthwith to refuse the payment of
any bonds alleged to be held against
Virginia.
The resolution went over until Mon

From the Times Of In"ia.
The horrible cIIme of mutilatiDg
women by cutting off their noses is
so common in Bombay as to call for
the most stringent repression, and
nothing we i'm, CINE, will represS it
but the free use of the lash. In the
sessions ending yesterday, Mr.. Justice
Scott had to hear three-we might
say five-of these cases, one after an
other. He postponed his sentences
for week, and we were in hopes that
he would in each case order the GRIM
inals to be fiogged within an ace OF
their lives.
Eventually, however, he sentenced
them severally to what he had ascer-
Gained to be the usual punishment,
three years rigorous imprisonment.
We are in inclined to regret that the
learned session judge, new as he is to
the country, did not throw precedent
over altogether. Surely these are
cases in which the lash would be at
once the most fitting punishment and
the best deterrent.
Estimated by the misery inflicted
even the most severe penalties would
seem too trivial, and if the law does

such cruel mutilation the law should
be altered. The miserable womeI
who are mutilated in this way are, Of
course, rendered hideous ever after
ward, and, because they are women
it is simply impossible to calculate
the misery and degradation that they
will experience during the rest O.
their lives. No amount of imprison
ment will eradicate a crime that i:
still evidently customary form o.
marital punishment among the lower
classes. But a wholesome terror O.
the cat-o'nine-tails is common to thu
degraded classes all the word over.

prisoners were locked up. The jail
was then surrounded by militia and
guards placed on the corners of
the streets. No one is per-

battery were ordered home, but as
there was some talk of a disturbance
after the New Orleans militia return

me tell you that, like Samuel ]. Tilden,
he has always battled against corrup-

ways been a steadfast friend of the

government. He is man of SPLEEN
did practical sense, and a democrat of
the purest type. Whatever he does
of private or public character is
based on honest and conscientious
grounds. Like the renowned Davy
Crockett. when he believes he is right
he goes ahead with all his might. He
is no time-server, but a man of prog
ress in views, as well as practice, in

gressive man, and highly esteemed for
his virtue by the best people of New
York. Like all other go-ahead people,
he believes his ideas are the best.
