Foreigners, Negroes, and Confederates.

uOAS3 hOSc9 dAu OVuiNuCl ltCos
The Alex. Gazette of August the 9Th
says
"The statement that first appeared in the
GaEette's Washington correspondence OF
yesterdays date. that the foreigners and
negroes 10 the Union army during the war
between the States actually outnumbered
the soldiers in the Confederate army, is
brand new, but ia no less true, aud can be
verified BY an inspection Of the records of
the War Department. The more that is
known about the war, the more glorious ap-
pears the magnificent heroism and endur-
ance of tie men who wore the gray. That
they should have defeated in SO macy bat
ties. and withstood for four years an army
so large that even the foreigners and negroes
in it ousnumbered them. leaving out its
contingent of over two million native born
soldiers, is almost incredible, but facts can
not be successfully refuted, and the fact re-
ferred to is substantiated by statistics pre-
pared by ex-Union soldiers and preserved
in the War Department st Washington.
The figures are "a follows: Union army,
2, roo, 900. of whom 500, coo were foreigners
and 178,C00 negroes, the foreigners and
negroes combined making 678,000. The
Confederate army numbered less than GOO,
600. No wonder the children of the men
who fought under the Confederate f, g, as
they were taught to do by the text books
used at West Point, should be proud of
their fathers. But no ex-Confederate would
ever allude to the difference 10 tho size of
the Union and Confederate armies if it were
not for The incorrect statements similar to
that made by Mr.. Dodge in the Century,
and of other northern men equally as reck-
less or Ignorant"

Lead in his Head.

The medical fraternity are very much in
terested in the recovery of Eddie Ssifert,
the fiftesn.year old son of Col. A. g. Self
ert, Secretary of the Brewers Exchange,
why accidentally shot himself in the head
on June 16 last while out hunting in the
Catskills. The boy had tried to cross a
creek by jumping ftom stone to stoue, but
had slipped, and his rifle had discharged,
the bullet lodging in his brain. Probing
demonstrated that the bullet had divided,
and that there were two pieces Of lead ia
the boys brain. He was grad ally sink
ing when it was decided to clean out the
wound aud insert drainage tubes SO that
there might be an opport unity of internal
healing. This was accomplished, and some
pieces of bone and shreds of lead, besides
several olots of brain matter, were remov-
sd, but the bullet itself was not found.
Nevertheless the lad began to improve i'm
mediately after the operation, aad to day is
as we'll and strong, mentally and physical
ly, as ever.

From the Shoulder,

The Rev. Sam Jones is a pretty rough
sort Of preacher and he churns the E1glish
language into froth when he gets eX.
cited. But he delivered strong blow al
the ordinary North American minister
yesterday at Prohibition Park.
He began his sermon by wading through
a pool of pistitudes, but when he succeeded
in getting full head of steam on his sen
fences were good deal like the hiss OF
successive skyrockets. The audience
thought it Numbered and handled their
umbrellas nervously.
He reached the climax of sarcasm on the
subject of languid, perfunctory sermonizng
by saying;-"You all know that certain
type of preacher who proceeds something
in this way Here am l, jeremiah Jones,
D. D., saved by the grace of God, with a
message to deliver. Believe and be saved,

Trial of DIR. John A. P. Baker {.

The trial of DR.. John A. P. Baker, charg
ed with causing the death of his wife BY
administering poison, which is still in pro
gress at Abingdon, Washington county,
consumed ten days in the examination OF
witnesses, aud the argument commenced
on Monday, and the court has allowed time
till Observation-Disclosures IL O'Clock to
conclude with an equal number on each
side. There are ten Attorneys in the case
five on each side. At this writing, Mon
day, it is supposed that Messrs. .Wysor,
David F. Bailey, Dan Trigg and Judge
Hutton will speak for the State, and james
White, Goa. Trigg, ex-Attorney General
Frank Blair and Congressman John A.
Buchanan for the defense. Wysor, the
Commonweslth's Attorney of that county.
will open lhe argument. DAn FriSg a G
Connaliy Tfigg are brothers, and t2ey are
on opposite sides in this trial.
1t is probable that the trial will result in
hung jury, as, though the weight of the
evidence is against DR.. Baker, he is emit
tied to the benefit of reasonable doubt, and
his counsel will endeavor to base that doubt
on the argument that the arsenic found In
the liver Of Mrs Baker by the analysis of
DR.. Taylor, Of Richmond, was not admin
istered by DR.. Baker, but got there from
the embalmiDg fluid which they maintain
contained arsenic in it's composition. This
trial will be followed by another charging
DR.. Baker and Mrs. Gilmer with conspiring
to poison Wyndham Gilmer, the husband
of Mrs. Gilmer. The motive assigned in
both cases is that DR.. Baker and Mrs. Gill
mer might be rid Of their conjugal part
ners that they might live together.

Death of MIR. d. f. Con nell.

We gave in our last weeks issue an &C
count of the shooting of Mr.. Daniel Fetter
Council. prominent citizen of Ports
mouth, Ohio, a man of wealth who has
large interests at Craig City in this State,
which occurred in sleeper on the @. q o.
R'y as the train moved from Waynegboro'
to Basic City, half mile distant, about 2
O'Clock on Saturday morning, the 1st in
slant. The robber and assassin demanded
of Mr.. Council his money; Mr.. Connell re-
Piled that he had none, and kicked the in
| truder, who Immediately shot him in the
| lower part of his abdomen. He was taken
| to Charlottesville and the ball was extract
ID from his back; his abdomen was opened
and a portion of bis bowels that had
been penetrated by the ball, was sewed up.
For while there was some hope of his re-
covery, but he afterwards began to sink,
and died at near 10 O'Clock on Wednesday
morning, and his embalmed remains were
sent on the train of that evening to Ports
mouth. Ohio, for interment, in handsome
cloth lined metallic Case, a silver plate
bearing his name, date Of death and age,
sixty-three years.
He had nine children, all grown, five Of
whom, four boys and one girl, together
with his wife, were with him when he died,
besides DIR. D. B. Cotton, his family physi-
clan, and Capt. E. Il. Ball, an intimate
friend and connection of the family. An
other son at Craig City met the remains al
Clifton Forge. Mr.. Cornell was born in
Wellsburg, Brook county, w. Va, at that
time part of Virginia. He made his will
the day before bis death, leaving all bic
property to his wife and children.
He was man of high character who had
the esteem and confidence of ali who knew
him; was member of thu Episcopal
church, and his tragic death caused great
sensation in Portsmouth, Ohio, where he
lived. and on the day of his burial at that
place the business houses were closed, in
token of the esteem in which he was held
by his friends and their grief at his sad
fate.
It having been suggested By some that
probably Mr. Cornell shot himself, search
was made for his pistol which was found
in his satchel with all the chambers loaded,
with every indication that it had net been
discharged for long time. That this
might appear in the trial Of contemplated
suit against the Pullman Car Company, it
was sent by express, directed to the clerk
of the county court of Augusta, and was
received by him-Wm. A. Burnett--on
the evening of the 9th of August, 1891, with
the following endorsement on the package:
"One loaded pistol from e. 7. Nelson,
M. D., Charlottesville, Va; D. B. Cotton,
NJ. D., Portsmouth, o.; E. Fl. Ball. Ports
mouth, y. Sealed by V. Nj. Murphy,
Charlottesville, Va, August s, '91, IL M.
Not to be opened until communication is
received. which will follow"
AS no further communication has, as yet,
been received by the clerk, in obedience to
the instruction on the package, he has not
opened it, and it will remain sealed ''until
further communication is received"
