An AdmirabIe Answer.

That was an admirable answer
adopted by Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans of Richmond, recently, to
Hon. Peter j. otey's bill looking TO
Federal aid 10 Confederate soldiers.
After paying a just compliment to
Maj. Otey as a gallant Confederate
comrade, and stating its objections
to the bill, the report thus closes:
ssMajor Otey means kindly by us,
and lie is right when he declares our
hearty and undying loyalty to the
flag of the common country; /; he is
correct in assuming that should war
come the Confederate soldiers will
be found carrying that flag to heights
as great as any soldier may reach,
let them be as high as the stars,
which it types. But neither he nor
any southern representative shall
ever, with our consent, place US ia
any attitude like that of this bill,
which is inconsistent with our self
respect, and stains the record, to
whose purity we devote and conse-
crate ourselves, our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor.
.'If, at some future date, an Amer
ican Congress, listening TO the voice
of some gallant representative Of the
North, should desire, in the general
interest, to consecrate American
vaIor as IL was illustrated by the
Confederate soldier, in some form,
alike appropriate and pleasing, our
loyalty would not be enhanced. be-
cause that is impossible. but we
should find in our feIlow-citizens 10
the north of US the real brothers
whom we are most anxious to dis
cover.''

Four Bodies in a Mine.
4 Mystery Of the War IN West Vfr-
ainia Said to Haue Been .Solced.

CoLLIERs, W. Va, Feb. 23-Peo-
pie are much excited in this vicinity
over a recent find, which, it is claim
ed, clears up mystery of thirty-two
years stauding-the remains of four
human beings having been discovered
in an abandoned coal mine = mile
cast of here.
David Snyder has explored the old
mine which had not been worked
since the sixties, and discovered the
human bones. One of the skeletons
was sitting upright against ledge.
Beside this skeleton was found
flask containing q note that explained
the mysterious disappearance of John
Ewing, Benjamin Ayers, Thomas
Ackelson and Joseph Obney thirty
two years ago. The notes we're writ
ten in pencil, but well preserved.
They read as follows:
November 2, IS63.-Should this
ever reach the outside world let it be
known that we (giving names) are
prisoners here owing TO the caving
in of the mine. We are deserters
and were in hiding here when the
mine caved in. Food and water all
gone. We are doomed. as no one
outside is aware of our whereabouts.
This is about the eighth day of inn
prisonment.
November 4.-John Ewing and
Thomas Ackelson have just killed
Benjamin Ayers and are eating him.
1 have already eaten my boot leg.
The water in the mine is terrible.
Our oil is getting scarce; air becom-
ing foul. L only know the day or
the month by my watch.
Nov. Giving has just killed
Ackelson. Cut off one of his feet
and is eating it and dancing around
and fiourishins his dirk-knife like
maniaG
November IL am now alone with
the dead. 1 had to kill Ewing in
self-defense. 1 have just eaten my
other bootleg. Am sleepy. Good
bye. 1 inclose this note in this flask
to preserve it If possible, so that if
ever found our sad fate will be
known.
(Signed) JOSEPH 0BNEY.
Several of the old residents herea-
bouts remember these men. It was
believed that they had been
killed in battle. As no relatives of
the deceased men could be found,
their remains were given in charge
of Andy Lister for interment.
