he had climbed to shake down the
nuts, and was instantly killed,
While engaged in shaking the tree,
or in changing his position, he lost
his hold and went crashing through
the limba to the ground, distance
of sixty feet, and lay lifeless in the

Gazette VS.. Journal.

The State Journal of the 26th, con-
tains long article, intended as a
reply to a paragraph of five lines
in this paper In its article it says
that the mass Of the voters in the
prohibition party, are conscien-
tious men. Now if that is true,
this paper adheres to its former
proposition, which is, that they
have a right to vote as they please
This is right guaranteed to all
men in this country, and the State
Journal can butt its red headed
brains out, if it wants to, and it
cannot affect the guarantee or over
throw the truth. The Gazette is
fixed in its principles, but it
always has been, now is and al
WAYS will be conducted on the
broad platform of according to all
men the right to their conscien-
tious convictions on all subjects.
The Gazette even goes so far as to
say that the Journal has the privi-
lego Of cberishing such views of a
prohibitionist as it chooses. In re-
turn, it ought to be kind enough to
accord to the Gaz6tte the right of
nc, agreeing with those views, if
the Gazette so desires. -Ritchje Ga

Correspondence of the Inter Ocean.
LYNCHBURG, Va, March 24.-Ths re-
tirement Of Gen. Grant is a very bitter
pill for the Virginia Bourbens to swal
low. The daily press of this city is un
relsnting toward the old hero, and high
ly compliments the five Congrsssmsn-
Tucker. O'Ferrell. Cabell. Barbour and
G. w. Wise-for their votes against the
bill. The News, one of Jubal Early's
ccnscienc keepers, refers to II as a bill
passed in ignorance. the supporters OF
which had BEEN induced by gross mis-
representations to believe that Grant
was dying, and as this turns out to be a
fraud no can only save his honor by
promptly rendering his resignation.
Speaking Of Jubal Early recalls two
incidents we do not remember to have
ever seen in print, or il given only par
italy related. Shortly after the battle
Of Winchester the Richmond govern
ment forwarded to Early's army, then at
Fishers Hill, ten or twelve Napoleon
guns, admirably equipped. The guns
were unl0aded from the cars at Staun-
ton, and packed in the wide street nsar
the railroad track just west of tbs depot
The day after their arrival an orderly
sergeant named May, belonging to Com
pany A, T wenty-eighth Virginia yeteray

with accompanying specifications were
drawn up against the orderly and for
warded with the usual request to the
war department., that the offender be
arrested, tried and dealt with as pre-
vided in such cases. Before the depart
ment could act the battle OF Fishers
Hill was fought, and Sheridan had the
guns. A few days later the charges were
returned to Early, then at Mount jack
son, with the shattered remnant of his
command, with the pointed Endorsement
thereon signed by James A. Seldom,
then secretary of war, that "his excel
leney tho presi dent had ordered q court

tiers in the valley, and as the guns Fad
