"Wasted Sweetness. I"

If the Editor of the Tazewell Re
publican had read the Richmond
Times of April 22nd he could have
saved himself the trouble as we'll as
time of writing his flaming Editorial
on the Negro Had Been There
Before" The Times contradicts it's
own article of the 18th April, which
dealt with the Negro at the Bryan
Dinner. Also tho Cleveland and
Douglas episode was contradicted
by MIR. Cleveland at the time, in the
columns of the Courier Journal.
If the Democrats of the South
capture the negro vote the Repub-
lican party would be in hard row.
However, we call particular attention
to the article in this issue, fiom the
Verdict, of New York. And this
closes the little incident.

Tho trial of George E. Davis for
shooting General james A. Walker
was begun in the Hastings Court of
Bristol Oh Monday, the LIST Inst. The
evidence in tho case was expected to
close yesterday. Davis went upon
the stand and admitted that no shot
Walker, but undertook to prove that
it was in selfdefence. How does
this agree with the reports sent out
by Davis friends that Hickman shot
Walker? The sclf-defence story OF
Davis and those who tried to cor.
roberate him will not be believed by
manly persons. We believe Davis
will be acquitted, though everybody
knows he is guilty'-Tazewell Re

is evident that Capron would not have sent

The 9TH Iowa held their line in front until
after dark. 1t seems Capron had not noti-
fed them of his retreat. Upon their return
to our lines they came upon the rear of
camp of rebel cavalry, who not knowing OF
anything behind them, had built fires and
were cooking supper. The 9Th Iowa drew
revolvers, and charged by fours through their
camp, firing right and left. The enemy took
refuge in the woods on either side Of the
road the 5th Iowa coming out without the
loss of man.
This statement will be indorsed by every
member OF the 5ih Iowa present upon that oc-

Entering Raleigh.

s. s. Carpenter, Co. B, 18th Pa. Cav,
Roaring Spring, Pa, writes: 81 saw an
article from a comrade of the 9th Pa Cav,
in which he makes several mistakes about
entering Raleigh, N. C. He says the First
Brigade was in the advance. The Second
was in the advance and the 9Th Ohio Cav.
were the first Union boys to enter the city.
My regiment stopped in the suburbs of the
city on some vacant lots to the right of the
road, to get our breakfast (not in grove, as
the comrade says; no such luck for the 13th).
We had no more than got our coffee on to
cook, when Maj. McCabe, commanding the
regiment, called US to the other side of the
city, where the 9th Ohio was hotly engaged
with a small brigade of rebel cavalry. One
of our boys stopped long enough to hoist
Old Glory on the Courthouse. When we
charged the rebels they broke and ran about
a mile, to fork in the road, where they
nlade stand. NJ regiment lost dozen or
more in killed and wounded before we got
them routed. McCabe told us about the
rebels hanging some of our men, and told us
to take no prisoners. We had a running
fight for about 10 miles, the writer having
a horse shot under him during the run.
We stopped about 10 miles from Raleigh.
1t was there the 9th Pa. Cav, 1st Ala. Cav
and Others passed US about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon"
