After four years of arduous ser

age and fortiiude, the Army of
Northern Virginia has been com
PEELED TO yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources. need not
tell the brave survivors of so many
hard fought battles who have re-
NAMED steadfast TO the last, that |
have consented to this result from
no distrust TO them, but feeling that
valor and devotion could accom-
plish nothing that could compensate
for the loss that would have attend
ed the continuance of the contest,
determined to avoid the useless sac

have endeared them to their coun
trymen.
BY the terms of the agreement
the officers and men can return 10
their homes and remain until ex-
changed. You will take with you
the satisfaction that proceeds from
the consciousness of duty faithfully
performed, and l earnestly pray that
merciful God will extend to YOU
his blessings and protection. With

constancy and devotion to your
country, and a grateful remembrance
of your kind and generous consid

UNANIMOUSLY ACQUITTED.

Last week the papers had consld-
cradle to say about Justin NJ. Kun
kle and Will +. Parsons, Captain
and First Lieutenant of Company l.,
of Morgantown, being summoned
to Huntington before Court Mar
tial on charges preferred by Lieut..
Col. c. N. Simms, of the Second
Regiment, who was in charge of the
troops at Charles Town recently.
We knew all the time it would
amount to nothing, and a letter
from Camp in another column shows
how promptly the charges were
dismissed.
These two officers were anxious
TO so to Charles Town and see some
actual service, and since their Com
pany was not ordered out, they
wrote and telephoned to Capt. Os
borne, of Company X, of Clarks-
burg, to know If they could not 90
with his Company in place of some
of his men who could not go, as
there are always some vacancies,
and Capt. Osborne telegraphed them
to meet him at Grafton with eight
men To FIJI nm his Comnany ,,b;oL
they did. They may have been
guilty of technical violation of the
Military Code, but they meant all
right anyhow, and were promptly
and unanimously acquitted. They
had nice little trip to the State
Camp at Huntington and few
days stop at the best hotel there,
all at the expense of the State,
probably S1oo or more.

Down in Georgia last week
couple of negroes were arrested,
tried and condemned to hang Sep
TENDER 9th for numbering white
family. Public sentiment was very
high against them and some State
Guards had been called out to pro-
tect the prisoners during the trial
and uphold the peace and dignity of
the State, but the blood thirsty mob
rushed on the soldiers, took their
guns away from them, captured the
prisoners and dragged them to the
woods and burned them at the stake,
exhibiting much more barbarism
and ferocious brutality than the
negro murderers themselves. But
the main point we want to make is,
that the officers in charge OF the
troops were so utterly incompetent
that they should be court marlialed
and dishonorably discharged from
the service and the whole company
mustered out and sent home in petit
coats. There they were, knowing
Of the desperate situation and what
the mob was going to try to do, and
not a man with his gun loaded or
any ammunition at hand. Soon as
the crowd found this out, they Just
rushed in and took the guns away
from the gang that we're not even
flin" soldiers.

1t is said that the State Guard En-
campment down at Huntington was
not the success it should have been,
but was a rather ragged and badly
managed affair.

The New York World says to-.
Judge Parker's mail is becoming
enormous, and that an average of
two hundred letters per day are re
ceived from Republicans, pledging
their support and declaring they
cannot vote for Roosevelt. Almost
every day the World publishes the
particulars of some prominent Re
publicans who have come out boldly
for Parker, and it really and truly
does look like things are coming
our way again and that the Demo.
Gratis will sweep the country this
fall. If we do, it will be rather hard
on few Democrats we could name
in this county who have turned Re-
publican in the last year, because
they couldn't see past the end of
their nose and thought it policy to
do so.

The National Guard Camp of
this State last year at Parkersburg
was named Camp Elklns," in
honor of "Uncle Steve" and this
year down at Huntington it was
called "Camp Scott" in honor of
Nathan Bay Scott, our junior Sena-
tor. We suppose next year they
will begin on the Congressman and
give them all turn during the next
five years.

The Morgantown Dominion of
last Friday contained the following
startling news item In its telegraphis
reports
Grafton, August Io.-Over 900
members of the Brown family at
tended the reunion here to day. r.
b. Brown, of Grafton, was elected
President and Prof. S. b. Brown, of
Morgan,own, Vice President.
Where in thunder they got such a
pied up piece of news we can't i'm.
agine, as nothing of the kind took
place whatever. In the next col
umn the Dominion publishes the
program for the Brown Family Re-
union, committees, ETC., which
comes off Saturday of this week,
and gives it all correctly, except
that they got the date wrong, giving
ii August "a instead Of August 81.
As the Secretary, Miss Carrie Brown,
daughter of William II. Brown,
lives at Grafton, and sent out the
programs and invitations from there
last week, it is probable that this is
the way the item got started about
the Reunion being held.

been Republican the past eight years
and fought Bryan both times he ran,
and finally came out squarely Re-
publican several years ago, is still
Republican, and yet the Republican

about The Suns flop and telling
their readers in great glee that it
has left the Democratic party and

"the miserable hell.broth of dish
