the birthday of both sons and the an

May his shadow never grow less.

General Johnston, in his Century
article on the first battle of Manassas.
says, in effect, that the federal SOL
diers moved off the field in order and
with no evidence of Generalization.
10 everybody else who saw the battle,
no matter upon which side his SYM
pathies were except Generals John
ston and Imboden, remarks the Alex
andria Gazette, the evidences of rout
and decentralization we're patent. In
a book written by q Frenchman, just
issued in Paris, entitled GA Visit to
Uncle SAM" there appears the fol-
lowing amusing account OF the reason
of that rout, as assigned by a North
ern soldier who was in it.:
And do you know why the rebels
beat us at Bull Run? will tell YOU,
sir. They were already surrounded j;
they were going to be taken like a
possum on a tree. The cavalry was
going to fall upon them like creased
lightning. Unfortunately, at this mo-
mcnt, the news spread among the
army that there was a vacancy in the
New York Custom House. The Gen
esal-in-Chief wheeled his horse and
departed at full speed to ask for the
place. Another, seeing him leave,
suspected the cause and ran after
him, fearing to be too late to submit
his application. The colonies did the
the same. The regiments followed
the coFonels, and that is why we lost
the battle of Bull Run"

Republican newspapers that have
cried out long and loud against
southern outrage should read the fol-
lowing taken from the Pittsburg Post /:
We call the attention of Republican
outragcs organs to an affair which oc-
Cured at Grafton, w. Va, n few
nights ago. Geo. A. Huntington,
Aditor of a Republican paper at that
place and correspondent of the Wheel
ing Intelligence, did his level best TO
GUST the Republican collector of the
district, and when a Democrat was
appointed he had some arrangement
with him for the part Ire took in GUST
ing the Republican collector, and
Tuesday he received a note sighed
Republican," advising him to leave
the town Or take the consequences.
He refused to leave, and that night
while returning to his hotel at a late
hour was shot and badly wounded.
Here is a Southern outrage at which
papers that wave the bloody shirt
should, for consistcncy's sake, at
once raise their hands in horror and
disgust.

The apportionment of the State
School Fund to Jefferson county for
this year is only SO, 4OS. ia smaller
amount, by nearly $1,000, than ever
before. The reasonable variation in
the enumeration of youth in the diff
fercnt counties will in a measure ac-
count for some difference in the
amount, but for so large a reduction
in one year, our efficient County
Superintendent, Mr.. John Hess, is
unable to account. He proposes,
however, to learn the reason therefor,
and hopes that it is a clerical error
and that the reduction is not really
SO much If this be tile true amount,
Charlestown District will only get
S71O.42, as against s942.9G last year
-areduction of s232.54. The enum-
Grafton in this county for 1885 shows
an increase of 1924 over that of 1854
the increase in Charlestown Dis
trict alone being 135.

A Venerable vIrginian Dead.

ORANGE Court House, VA, July
5.-Dr. Uriel Terrell died here to-day
in the Oath year of his age. He was
a member of the convention which
nominated Henry Clay for President
and a survivor of the last class taught
by DIR. Benjamin Rush. DIR. Terrell
was several times elected to the State
Legislature.
DR.. Terrell was one of the most ar
dent admirers that Henry Clay ever
had. He had attended national and
State conventions for the past sew
enty years. He was a delegate to
Democratic convention which met in
Lynchburg in 1888, and made a stir
ring speech, arraigning Malone and
his party. The venerable Doctor at
tended the last national Democratic
convention, which nominated Prcsi-
dent Cleveland as an alternate. He
expressed a desire to participate in
proceedings of that body, expecting
it would be the last national conven-
ton he would ever attend.

The new postal law went into effect
on the lst., inst. by its terms the max
imum weight of single rate postage is
one ounce; that is you can send letter
weighing one ounce for cents, while
heretofore only one-half ounce could go
for that amount. The reduction on
papers sent from the office of the publ
sher is just one half, that Is, one cent
instead of two cents per pound. This
is a matter of good deal Of interest to
newspapers that have a circulation out
side Of the county I'm which it is publ
shed. Here is an entirely new pattern,
and one that many will avail themselves
of when they become familiarized with
IL:
A special stamp Of the value of ten
cents may be issued, which, when at
tached To a letter, in addition to the
lawful postage thereon, shall entitle the
letter to immediate delivery at any
place containing 1000 population or
over, according to the Federal census,
or within one mile of the postofIlce COM
ing within the provisions of this law,
which may in like manner be designat-
ed as n special delivery office, that such
specially stamped letters shall be de-
livered between a. m. and midnight,
