in March OF '62 Gen. jenkins took
about 400 OF us and we started to'
Point Pleasant on foot on raid.
We came down TO Hurricane bridge.
There we're two Companies OF Union
men there in fort and we Skin
misaed with them there for little
while. As we had no artillery we
could not take the fort without
losing a good many men. We sur.
rounded them and went ON to Kan
awha river. We came into Kan
awha at Buffalo, there we found a
big salt barge tied to the shore,
we all got IN that aud floated all
night down the river. When day
light came we were in about ten
miles of Point Pleasant, we had
some men that had Yankee over
coats and we kept them on the
side where they could be seen and
made them believe we We're Yam
lkee soldiers coming, but the news
mad gone ahead OF us that we were
lighting at Hurricane bridge the
day before, and the citizens would
run out on the bank to ask what
the news was, and We would tell
them that the Union men had
whipped Gen. jenkins at Hurrl'
cane bridge and we were on our
way to re-enforce the men there,
that we supposed he was going
1 that way. The citizens would
cheer us then and hollow "Hurrah

The Humiliation of Delaware.

THE idea of sovereign sta=e being
ithout representation in the United States
Senate is a cause Of deep humiliation to
all good citizens" said Mr.. Charles Nc
Fee. welI-known lawyer of Georgetown.
Del. last night at the Ebbtt.
This shameful condition applies to
Delaware. and is without parallel in the
history of this country. Our people are
determined that II shall not endure. They
hold one man. and one man only, J. Ed
ward Addicks. responsible for the present
situation. l am glad to say that Mr.. Ad-
dicks has done his worst. and that the
methods hitherto employed by him will
not avail in the future.
The best element in the Republican
party OF the State is arrayed against him
solidly. The Administration at Washing
ton has also refused recognition to his
faction. which will have a good moral
effect. The manhood and decency of Del
aware, of all parties. feel that the people
have been insulted and outraged long
enough, and at the very first opportunity
will prove to the outside world that Del
aware has repudiated for all time the in
dividual who thought that money was
Omnipotent"

American Enterprise in the Orient.

Mr.. Russell Colgrove was at the hrling-
ton yesterday. He is a former Washing
tonian, but has lived in the Orient for
several years. and is now traffic manager
for the Philippine Transportation and
Construction Company.
"our people" said Mr.. Colgrove, "have
built nineteen speedy and stanch steamers
for use in the Philippines. We expect to
make money by engaging in the work of
lighterage, which is now done in the har-
Dor OF Manila by antiquated methods. and
at exorbitant charges. Everywhere
throughout the islands lightering is done
with the cascO. which is a rotten old hulk
of a boat of native construction, and not
over thirty tons burden. Every pound of
goods coming into Manila is taken out Of
the ships by coolies. slowed into leaky
cascoes. and then lifted upon the wharves.

ish. German. and Chinese merchants con-
troll this business aud ask the absurd
price ofNSL5Q per l00 pounds for perform
ing the service. II can be done profitahly
for IL cents per leo pounds
Our aim IS TO make American trade
and enterprise felt in the East. With the
exception Of United States vessels. moth
ing IN the way Of Yankee ships is to be
seen in any Philippine port. The for
eigners have got practically all the trade,
but our day is coming fast"

n Court OF Appeals.

The suggestion has often been made
that for the relief of both Congress and
the Pension Office a tribunal should be
created to which all rejected claims
might be appealed and wherein they could
be passed upon according to the rules of
judicial procedure. Pursuant to this sug-
gestion, Mr.. Boreing. Of Kentucky. has
introduced a bill creating a court Of ap-
peals for the consideration of pension
matters. The court is to consist of seven
Judges, not more than nve Of whom sha II
be members of the same political party
To this court shall be transmitted the
records in all cases appealed from the
decision OF the Commissioner OF Pensions
The powers of the court are to be SINH

the decision is favorable to the appellant
the case is to be certified to Congress
with the recommendation that il be al
lowed, and no claim not thus certified is
to be hereafter passed upon by Congress-
The court is also invested with iurIs-
dictiou to determine in like manner

the claimant has an equitable right to re-
lief. Cases allowed. and res adjudicata in
