night at the opera house on the principal
battles of the army of Northern Virginia to
the veterans of Stonewall Jackson camp
and their friends. Capt. John N. Opie in

the causes of the war and form correct
ideas of them, and they would appreciate
the action and honor the patriotism of their
fathers. His lecture was we'll attended, and
be spoke until nearly II o'clock. There is
still much of the fire in him which help ed
win the sOubriquet of the Laurel Brigade.

A New Attraction for the coming Fair.

A New Attraction for the coming Fair.
The Virginia Live Stock and Fair Asso-
citation finding that the attendance at their
fair has not been as large as it should have
been the past few years, came to the con-
clusion that the people in order to be bought
together in large numbers should have some
more interesting legitimate attraction than
the usual County Fair exhibit and with
commendable energy they succeeded in in
ducing the management of the Southern ex-
hibit to bring to our city their attractions
along with their manager. who is one of the
most experienced fair men in the United
States. The attraction is one that the city
of Boston paid five thousand dollars to OBJ
tain. and the management we're very reluc-
tant to show it so far South this year as the
State of Virginia, the chief object of exhibit
ing in the North being to attract immigra-
ton to the South. The local management
will be assisted Mr.. Clark, the manager of
the Southern Exposition. and the people Of
StauntOn may expect some new and original
features which will attract great crowds to
our city. The benefits derived from sue
cessful fair cannot be over estimated, and
the business men Of Staunton should certify
their willingness to cooperate with the Fair
Association, and make this the greatest fair
that this section has ever seen.

The principal Paris newspapers have
referred to the commission in terms in

Of the twelve men composing the party
four are invahds
In an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent they complained
bitterly of the actions of theBritish Of
ticials, for the isitlng health officer had
arbitrarily seized number of important
letters and dispatches designed for the
Cuban junta in New York. They had
protested against this action, but the
officials replied that a breach of the
postal regulations act had been commit
ted and that the letters must be forfeited
as a penalty.

The correspondents first inquiry was
with reference TO the rumor that cen
eral Maxilno Gomez had been killed,
This was treated by all the patriots as
simply canard circulated by the Span
ish. At the time the party left Cuba,
General Gomez was in good health and
sanguine of the result of his campaign.

men, sis principally confined at the

in possession of one or two small places
but they suffer very severely from the
want of food and ammunition. Their
camps are decimated by sickness an

the ranks of the insurgents.
A battle, according to the cast .vay
was recently fought at Cam aona
which the insurgents were .omplete]
successful.
