DEATH OF ADMIRAL FARRAGIIT
The country will learn with profound
sorrow of the death of Admiral Par
ragut, the great naval hero of the late
war, who died at noon on Sunday, at
Portsmouth, N. R. He had been ill for
some time, and his death was not unex
pected for some days. Sipce our great
struggle with the rebellion closed, death
has been busY with many of the famous
men who carried it to its successful con
clusion, but of all those who have gone
before him there was no one whom a
grateful nation held in higher esteem
than the modest and skilful' sailor who
crushed the rebellion on the Southern
seaboard. Admiral Farragut's daring
achievements in the reduction of the
forts at the mouth of the Mississippi,
and in Mobile bay, are still fresh-in the
recollection of our readers. In January
1862 he was assigned to the command of
the Gulf Squadon with 'Anstructions to
break the blockade of the Mississippi.—
Assembling his fleet at the mouth of the
Mississippi he began the siege and after
bombarding for six days the Rebel forts
and batteries, and clearing the formid
able.
obstructions, he prepared to attempt
the passage of Forts St. Philip and Jack
son on the 24th of .April. The battle
fought on that morning ranks among
the most wonderful recorded in history.
The attacking fleet consisted of twelve
gunboats and five ships of war. To op
pose these were two mounting one
hundred guns, a series of water batteries
and a dozen gunboats, including two
iron-clad rams--the Manraq , lTS and the
Louisiana. In the thick darkness the
vessels moved up the river in the order
of battle till they came;within range of
the enemy's guns, and then a hundred
guns opened upon them simultaneously;
and theyater "was plowed in furrows
and dashed into jets and foam by the
rush of shot and the bursting of shells."
The deadly missiles bailie crashing
through the woodpn hulls, masts and
spars were shivered into splinters, but
still the vessels kept on returning the
fire as they went. The rebel gunboats
were encountered, and some of them
captured, some. of them sunk, and some
driven to shore,where theywere abandon
ed by their crews. The iron-clad ram
Manassas, after tearing around among
the vessels like a fierce monster of the
deep, butting his head against such as
crossed his path, tearing off the copper
sheeting and making -ugly holes in the
timbers, in the vain attempt to 'sink
them, and failing in this, pushing fire
rafts about with intent to burn his as
sailants, was sent drifting to the shore.
In a few minutes the magazine ex
ploded, and the ram plunged forward
and lay a hopeless wreck in shallow wa
ter. The forts were passed, the enemy's
fleet destroyed, and on the morning of
the 26th the flag :ship Hartford appear,:
ell before New Orleans and demandedOts
Surrender.
After aiding in the reduction of Port
lludson and Vicksburg, Farragut turn
ed his attention to the Rebel defences in
Mobile bay, where on the sth of August,
1864, he beigui his second grand baths
with forts, iron-dads and gunboats.—
The Tecumseh was sunk by a torpedo
early in the action. Therein Tennessee
attempted the role of the Merrimac, and
for some hours made fearful havoc with
his prow and guns. After he had butted
most of the wooden ships, and poured
into them a destructive fire from his
powerful batteries, and had been in turn
assailed by them in the vain attempt to
run him down, the monitors engaged
him, and in a few minutes Admiral
Buchanan struck his Hag. Three other
rebel gunboats took part in the fight,
two of which were captured. During
the whole action the forts and the bat
teries poured an incessant fire into the
ships, inflicting heavy losses. Farragnt,
the better to observe the exigencies of
the fight and determined to sink or swim
with his fleet, lashed himself to the mast
of his flagship, but went througli the
terrible rain of shot and shell unscathed.
It was the bloodiest naval battle of the
war; 52 men were killed, and 170 wound
ed. Forts Gaines and Powell immedi
ately surrendered, but Fort Morgan was
not taken tin the 28d of August.
Admiral Farragut was born in 1801.
Like all true heroes, he was singularly
modest%nd unobtrusive in his manners.
The rank of Admiral was created and
conferred on him by special act of Con
gress
ON our first page we give the Ad

claims of the Republican party to the
continued confidence of the country, and
in so far is a full answer to the raisre

to obtain at the hands of the Common
wealth a reasonable measure of justice-, in
view of the losses sustained in the border
counties.
Resolved, That our present State Sena
tor, Hon. C. N. Duncan, and late &pre.
sentative, Dr. A. B. Dill, deserve grateful
mention for tbeir untiring efforts for the
success of the - Border Damage and other
bills demanded by the interests of our
people.
.Resolved, That the ticket this day
nominated is worthy of the hearty and
active support of every Democrat and
friend of - the white man's cause in the
county, and that we will strive in every
honorable way for its triumphant election.
The Democracy. of ;Adams, ignoring
the platform of their political brethren
in North Carolina and the "great vie
tort'" there achieved on the basis of
Democratic approval of the 15th Amend
ment, still stick to the shin-bone philoso
phy, and propose to run the machine on
that line this fall. The Ist, 2d and 3d
resolutions re-assert the "white -man's
party" dogma, and practically invite the
faithful to declare that "niggers" have
no rights which "white men" are bound
to respect. They evidently belong to the
Rip Van Winkle school of politicians,
who forget that there has been a War in
which Slavery was abolished, that the
Slfive Power no longer rules the Repub
lic, and that Freedom; not Slavery, is
the nation's care. .Ignoring the great
lessons of advancing civilization, they
seem content to burrow in the musty
rubbish of the past. By and by they
will wake up to the logic of events.
The 4th resolution is refreshingly im
pudent; in view of the reduced taxation ,
retrenched expenditures, and rapid re
duction of the national debt under Re
publican administration,and the increas
ed taxation and rapidly accumulating
County debt under Democratic rule.
The compliment to Senator Duncan
and Representative Dill, in the 6th reso
lution, is rather equivocal, approval of
their Legislative course being limited to
their support of the Border Damage and
other bills "demanded by the interests
of the people." Whether the "nine mil
lions steal," for which both Duncan
and Dill voted, falls within the qualified
clause, does - not appear. The Conven
tion failed to express its views on that
point, and the faithful are left to grope
in the dark whether to approve or dis- I
approve. One thing is clear, Adams
county is in record as supporting the
most flagitious swindle ever attempted to 1
be'perpetrated in State legislation, and
the Democratic County Convention has
not a word to utter in condemnation of
the outrage. Yet this same body un
dertakes to arraign the integrity of 'a
Republican administration, and impu
dently talks about "incapacity, extrava
gance and corruption." Bah!
TILE Democracy have been glorifying
considerably over what they call a great
victory in North Carolina. The Demo.
crate of that State fought the issue on
the basis of negro suffrage, and appeal
ed to negroes for support. ' And we no
tice that in a speech at Wilmington, N.
C., since the election, Col. oe. M. Wad
dell, one of the Democratic Congress
men elect, expressed the hope that one
.pf the first acts of the Legislature re
gently elected "will be a formal declara
tion of their intention not to disturb the
black man in the enjoyment of his rights
guaranteed by law." Possibly there
may be some thing in all this for the
"white Man's party" to glorify over.—
But it strikes us that either there is a
radi cal and wide difference between
Northern and Southern Democrats on
this negro question, or a vast deal of
hypocrisy and humbug.
A FIERCE contest for the Democratic
Congressional nomination in the York,
Cumberland and Perry district, has been
in progress for some time. Mr. Halde
man, the present member, lost his own
county, Cumberland, where the Craw
ford county system is in force and can
didates are voted for direct, Mr, Brat
ton, editor of .the Carlisle Volunteer;
received the nomination in Cumbe rlan d, -
Haldeman being the lowest on the popu
lar vote, which stood--Bretton 1449,
McLaughlin 1183; Haldeman 1159,
Nothing daunted by the defeat in his
own county, Halderaan went to work in
York arid Perry, where the
_delegate
system prevails, and successfully manip
ulated the Conventigiu# in both counties:
Thus Haldeman, is renominated, with
his own county against him.

CONTINUED FRENCH RETREAT
ADTASCZ OF TUE riNVAIIIANIII
A. BATTLE BEFORE METZ
ANOTHEIBPI.I4IIII4III VICTORY
GREAT EXCITEMENT AT PARIS
i MONDAY, Aug. 15.—The intelligence
from the seat of war this morning, though
somewhat confine* indicates clearly that
the French armt has retreated from Nan
'oy and fallen back to the west bank of the
Moselle. There lutsbeen no fighting with
the exception of a skirmish at l'out-a-
Monition on Saturday; a point on the
Moselle river about equi-distant from
Meta and Nancy, in which the Prussians
captured a baggage train. Their skirm
lagers have also captured supplies under
the walls of Metz. McMahon haeretreat
ed to Toul, ten miles west of Nancy. This
Indicates that there has been an advance
of the Prussian army along its entire line,
and that it has succeeded in driving the
French from their most important line of
defence along the Noodle river without a
battle being fought. The next line of '
fortifications in France is at the camp at
Chalons, ninety miles west of Metz and half
way between there and Paris. The Gov
ernment and official journals appear to be
preparing the people for a retreat to this
standpoint, and even to Paris. The col
umn of the Paris press are filled with dec
larations of the immense forces that will
be brought into the field, and seek to
maintain enthusiasm by predicting the
defeat of the Prussians. The fortifica
tions of the city are being pushed with the
utmost possible speed, and are nearly com
plete. The despatches as to the where
abouts of the Prince Imperial are conflict
ing—some asserting his flight to England,
and others fixing him at Metz.
The statement that Austria and Italy
had agreed to march troops in support of
France is positively contradicted. They
wilt remain neutral.
In the Corps Legislatit on Saturday
Gambetta moved the appointment of a
Committee of Defence, Which the Govern
ment opposed, and the proposition was
rejected. Gambetta thanked the Minis
try for their war measures. A despatch
from Brussels says the report that the
Prince Imperial has been removed from
rrance seems to be confirmed, as he has
not been seen at Metz since last Sunday.
The same despatch says it is learned on ex
cellent authority that the Empress Eugen
ie is preparing for flight via Belgium.
King William has issued a proclamation
abolishing 'conscription in French territory
held by the Prussian army.
On Saturday King William's headquar
ters were at Faulquemont, twenty miles
southeast of Metz. The position of his
armies indicates that they were advancing
to an attack on the French lines on the
Moselle, when they were abandoned by
the Emperor.
BATTLE NEAR 'LETT
TUESDAY, August, 19.—A great battle
was fought near Metz on Sunday, and
despatches from King William and Na
poleon each claim a victory for their ar
mies. Despatches from other sources
confirm King William's statement, the
victory having been won by the arms of
Germany. The news of the defeat of Na
poleon at Metz naturally created great
excitement throughout France, and in
Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Toulouse and
other cities there was much bitter denun
ciation of the Emperor. In Paris there
were several collisions between citizens
and the police, during which, several ner
sons on both aides were mortally wounded.
A. Berlin despatch says . that hundred of
German families have been expelled from
France,. and a Paris despatch, states that
twenty French citizens of Woerth have
been shot by the Prussians in retaliation
for the cruelties said to have been inflicted
on wounded German prisoners, The
Garibaldians are very active in their
movements, and Idea:int has been arres..
ted and imprisoned at Gaeta. Ad
vices from Rome report the Pope and his
partisans as rejoicing over the success of
Prussia.
ANOTHER BATTLE AT FORRACH
A despatch from Forbach says that the
French, while retreating to the west aide
of the Moselle, were affected by the Prus
sians, under General Steinmetz. The
French were thrown into great confusion,
and after a gallant stand were routed.
Mulhouse and Besancon are now both in
the hands of the French, and 100,000 of
the Prussian Landwehr are crojng the
frontier. The Paris Nationale of yester
day says that there has already been a
change of Government in France, and that
the Corps Legislature is virtually a Com
mittee
,4if Public Safety.
Wednesday, Aug. 17.—There appear to
have belt& two battles fought on Monday,
but the tesult is still observed by the con
tradictoty despatches which reach us from
either side. A Berlin telegram says that
late on Monday afternoon two Prussian
corps attacked the French forces nuderthe
walls of Mets and drove them within the•
city, inflicting a loss of fbortheeisemd men.
On Sunday King WUNam in person made
a
between two of the French
lines without interference, and this, it is
argued, shows the utter deifioralization of
the French. The French; according to
the Bing, were attacked by the Seventh
Corps of the Prussian army, and a des
perate conflict, involving the entire line,
ensued. The French were driven from
their position to another nearer the for
and the attacking force then return
ed to their camp. Other official despatches
from the Prussian lines coincide with thkt
of the King, and give the Additional in
formation that the tight becaree • general
on account of the effort of General L' Ad
mirault to flank the First Pruasian Corps,
when the reserves were brought up, and
the French repulsed and driven into the
fortress. The reexmnoissanoe made by the
Bing after this battle failed to discover the
enemy, and it was inferred that they bad
departed.
On the other hand, the French claim to
have repulsed the Prussian attack with
heavy loss,• but give no particulars. The
relative positions of the two armies would
indicate that the French were still retreat
ing, and the Prussians following closely,
as the' French locate the list fighting near
Verdun, about 40 miles vest of Meta. If
so; the Prussians are maneuvering to flank
Mets and force the French back into the
Interior.

NOOK NOTICES.
121IrThe second volume of A . .lexiiinder H.
Stephens's "War between the States," has
reached us, through the pub fishers. It is
more interesting than the fi.rst, because it
discusses more largely the. events of the
War itself, and the many questions which
grew out of it betweer, the Government
and the Rebels, and tr Aweert parties in the
Union, and in the Rebellion. As to the
first class of cases, h e takes pains to censure
very lavishly most of Mr. Lincoln's sets
and of the measures adopted for the sup
pression of the 'Rebellion. In discussing
the differences betyveen the Republicans
and Democrats as to War measures, he
uniformly sustains the grounds taken by
the latter. As to the last class of subjects,
lie takes issue generally with the Jeff.
Davis Administration, and defends his
own record, speeches and acts. The Work
is able, ingenious, and plausible; but its
circulation can hardly fail to di harm, both
North and South. The time has not yet
oome for an impartial discussion of most
of the questions raised, and Mr. Stephens
was ton deeply involved in them to treat
them dispassionately. The letter-Press of
the book is good. The engravings of Ste
phens, Beauregard, Toombis, Douglas, Lin
coin, Davis, Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, and
Grant, are in creditable style. The most
valuable part of the book (to us), is to be.
found in the Appendix which contains
much documentary and official matter o
real historical value. There is a publi c
sentiment to which the book will minister.
Wherever there lurks a man who secretly
sorrows over the results of the War, there
may be found a purchaser, that he may
find consolation in his adversity. The

accumulation of surplus, is a consideration
which must have weight with cautious and
far seeing men.
The promptness with which the Com
pany has always paid its losses, leaves no
uncertainty as to its ability and disposi
tion to act with equal promptrims in the
settlement of like claims in the future.
Distribution of surplus will be made
annually by this company, and will be
available one year from the date of the
policy in the payment of the 2d annual
premium and so on'thereafter.
All its policies are nonforfeitahle, made
so by stringent enactments of the Legisla
ture of the State of Massachusetts.
Among its losses for 1889, several policies
were paid under the operation of the
famous "Massachusetts Law." The
holders df these policies had failed to keep
up their premiums, and the insurance
would have been void under the laws of
any other State.

ance taken by War. KING, Agent for the

WHAT DID IT ? Lyon's Kathairoii
made my hair soft, luxuriant and thick,
and Hagan's Magnolia Balm changed that
sallow complexion into the marble beauty
you now see. This is emphatically the
language of all who use these articles. A
fine head of hair and a refined complexion
are the greatest attractions a woman can
possess. The Kathairon and Magnolia
Balm are just what will give them to you,
and nothing else will. The Balm is the
bloom of youth. It makes a lady of
thirty appear but twenty. Both articles
are entirely harmless, and very pleasant.
They should be in every lady's possession.
