Two works from the pens of West
Virginia authors have been recently
issued from the press and are winning
favorable comment. One is per
sonal Recollections of Stonewall jack
son" by Prof. John G. Cuttings, of
Clarksburg, and the title carries the
idea OF an interesting and instruc-
tive book. The other is Wheat and
Chaff, being compilation of poems,
letters and prose sketches by the late
Marshall S. Cornwell a Hampshire
county boy, formerly editor of the
Elkins Inter Mountain, and whom the
dread consumption cut off in his TWEEN
ty- seventh year. This little volume
is succinct with optimistic philosophy
and abounds with tender sentiment
and human sympathy. It is culled
from the deceased's writings by his
brothers State Senator John j. and

formerly wound around in pictur-

campus. It was desired TO make it
straight and deep bitches were dug to
make it so. The Run got on tear
and began to dig great holes along its
course Then dams were placed in it
and the attempt was made to divert
it to its former place with the result
that it is all over that portion OF the
ground and the pretty scene is spoiled.

BATTLE IS RESUMED.
Firing Heard at Estcourt in the
Direction of Colenso.
ENGLAND Is FILLED WITH HOPE.

Grows More Optimistic over the Present
outlook In south Afrioa-Reinforce-
ments Now on the Way to Ladysmith to
Extricate General White.
EsTCoURT, Natal, Nov. 9.-Firing was
heard yesterday morning in the dircc-
ton of Colcnso, from which it is believed
the Beers have resumed tho lombard
mcnt Of Ladysmith.
CoLEsBuRG, Nov. ct is reported
that 1000 Beers have left Pretoria and
are going to protect the southern border
Of the Orange Free State. They are
said to be accompanied by n large con
tingont of German artillery, with
quick. firing guns of heavy caliber.
LONDON, Nov. 0.-To the eyes of mil
itary experts the darkest page of the
war is now being written. But even
that is being illuminated with bright
passages, such as General Whites victo-
rious sorties. If he cal keep the Brit
ish flag flying over Ladysmith until he
is relieved the campaign will turn a
fresh page, and with the advent of Gen
eral Buffers force the British public
is promised more cheerful reading. The
feeling of relief inspired by recent good
tidings is nevertheless tinged by u GER
tain anxiety lest General White may
again make some fatal m~iscalculaticn.
The most interesting news today is n
telegram from Estcourt announcing the
departure of a strong force of mounted
troops and artillery for u destination
not given. Another message announces
the arrival at Estcourt and Pietermar-
itzburg within the last few days of re-
Inducements from Durham and that
$500 troops are assembled ready for an
advance to Colenso when the opportune
moment arrives. The latter dispatch
throws light on the former, and the
force which left Estcourt Monday has
doubtless reoccupied Colenso, and is
doubtless now advancing cautiously up
the railroad toward L~adysmith, General
Whites sortie Friday almost to the
banks of the Tugela river encouraging
it's commander in the hope of joining
hands with him.
General Joubert, it is said, drew in
his horns after Fridays engagements and
has since withdrawn the southern Boer
contingent, leaving only outposts on the
line from Ladysmith to Colenso. The
Beers who occupied Colenso about the
middle of last week retired without
damaging Bulwer bridge over the river
nor the railroad us far north as the vii
lage of N%elthrope, seven miles south of
Ladysmith. Evidently they nurse a
hope of eventually using both in their
descent on Pietermaritzburg. Mean
time the British are able to use both, as
they have already done, in running up
an armored train, which may at the
present moment be covering the advance
of the Estcourt advance.
The situation looks brighter at Mafe.
king, where the Beers are apparently
disheartened ut the unexpected resist
ance, a large body of their force having
been detached to the south to assist in
the Investment of Kimberley, around
which the Gordon is drawing tighter.
Evidently the Beers intend to make u
concentrated effort to capture Kimber-
ley and their arch enemy, Cecil Rhodes.
