An Address to the Confederate Camps Of
Virginia.

To the Confederate Veteran Camps of vir-
ginia:
The opposition on the part of some
of the Camps of Virginia to the estab-
lishment of National Park in this
county has surprised and mortified the
veterans who have organized the APP
pomattox National Park Association.
We feel aggrieved that our old com-
rades should suspect that we favor any
move intended to reflect upon the
Army of Northern Virginia.
At the time the first conscript act of
the Confederate Congress went into
effect, there were but nineteen of our
citizens liable to military duty not al
ready enrolled for active service, and
the survivors of these volunteers are as
jealous of the honor of the South as
our people showed themselves to be in
1861.
We are in favor of the establishment
of a National Park on the battle field
in this county: first, because we be-
lieve, if it is inaugurated with proper
spirit, it will tend to encourage kind
feelings between the people of the
North and the people of the South;
and, second, because many northern
and western men who will be induced
to visit Virginia, will have the great
advantages of climate, soil, &C., of the
State forced upon their attention and
so prove a potent factor in inducing
immigration to our borders.
The Camps, opposing our wishes, are
doubtless moved by the fear that the
South will not be properly treated. In
this connection it must be remembered
that the General Government will not
undertake the work until the State has
coded her rights in the lands required,
and we may confidently believe that
Legislature of Virginia will never cede
rights to be used as a reflection upon
her honor and glory.
The veterans of this county take
pride in every act of the Army Of North
ern Virginia and it's Chief, and in none
more than their appearance upon the
field of Appomattox.
Respectfully,
r. B. POORE,
Prest. Appomattox National Park AS

On Tuesday night, March %, 1895, in the alb
sence of Engineer VIM. n Shepard, the black
rascal made an attempt to burglarize his resi-
dence on Fifth street, there being no one on
the premises except Mrs. Shepard, the chill
dren and colored servant girl. AT half past
eleven that night Mrs. Shepard was awakened
by hearing noise in the direction of her din
ing room. She arose without making noise,
got her SO calibre Smith and Wesson pistol,
and tripped out lightly to the dining room.
Here the noise appeared to be at the kitchen
door, so she slipped back and awakened the
servant girl. Upon returning she ascertained
that the burglar had climbed to the second
story of the double porch and was up stairs.
With pistol in hand the plucky woman also
went to the same story by way of the stairway
from the main hall, where she found the fell
low in a room with lighted match in his
hand. Without stopping to seek an explana-
ton at his hands she blazed away at the
scoundrel who finding himself freed quietly
surrendered. Mrs. Shepard remained on guard
at the door while she dispatched the servant
girl after Mr.. Frank Spinner, her next door
neighbor. This gentleman promptly respond
ed by his presence and conveyed the burglar
to the lock up. The next day a preliminary
hearing was conducted before Mayor Davis
who sent the accused on to the grand Jury.

Death of VIM. Caldwell of WaynesbOrO.
Mr. VIM Caldwell of Waynesboro died at
his home in that place last Saturday, after
somewhat protracted illness. We learn from
the Charlottesville Progress that he was ma
tive of Rockbridge county, and went to
Waynesboro in his boyhood, entering the store
of the late Mr.. William W. Withrow. He
married Miss F. G. Withrow, daughter of his
employer. He afterwards engaged in bust
ness in Richmond, in partnership with Mr..
Peasants, but returned to Waynesboro and
succeeded to the business of his father-in law.
Some years before his death, however, he had
retired from mercantile employments, and led
quiet life.
His wife survives him with three children
Miss Annie s., Miss Nellie NJ, and Mr.. Maury
NJ. Caldwell, all of whom were with him
when the end came.

Publication Of Shermans Book at This
Time Condemned by Politicians
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The second
publication Of extracts from Senator
Sherman,s book, which lays before the
public many Of the secrets OF Republl-
can politics during the past two or three
national conventions, has created pro-
found sensation in the East. Very few
Republicans of any prominence will dis
cuss for publication the statements re-
garding the methods by which the NOM
nation of Garfield was brought about;
nor will they say anything as to the al
legged deal Mr.. Sherman claims was
made to insure the success OF Harri-
son in 1888 and 1892. There is a
feeling, however, that Mr.. Sherman has
made a very grave political error in per-
hitting extracts from his book to he
published in advance Of the fall cleo
tons in Ohio and other states. There is
no doubt whatever, say some OF the
shrewdest of Republican politicians in
Washington, that the printing at this
time of Sherman's book will not only
injure the Republican prospects in Ohio,
but will tngender strife in New York
and Pennsylvania.

Secretary Olney did not 60 to Atlanta
with the president and party, but did
leave for Boston during the day a
rumor is af1oat that Mr.. Olney is con-
templating retirement from the cabinet.
The alleged excuse for this is sup
posed disagreement between himself
and the president in regard to the for
eign policy, especially with reference to
the Venezuelan matter, in which the
rumor says that Mr.. Olney favors 9
more vigorous course than does the
president. The rumor, however, is en-
tirely unconfrmed, and owing to the
absence of Mr.. Olney and President
Cleveland, as well as all members OF
the cabinet, it is impossible to obtain
any definite information which will

over the wire and his answer, made be-
fore witnesses, will be returned. The
bride will, of course, reply to the min
lister in person. She will then take

herself. The reason for such an un-
usual proceeding is the fact that there
is no minister of the denomination de-

not come to Oshkosh.
