THE ROMSOKE iNEWS, T1IUKSDAY, OCTOBER !, iSJH. THE ROANOKE NEWS THURSDAY OCTOBER 1. 18!U. DF.FEMMJiC. COI.. V01.W. Rev. Dr. William S. Lacy, of Norfolk, Va , the distinguished pastor of the second Presbyterian church of that city, pub lished the following letter in defense of Colonel Polk : "I know Colonel l,lk well. We were fellow students at college and in souis of the same classes. II is age is nearer til'ty six than thirty-six lie is certainly past fifty. lie was a soldier in the Confederate service, a lieutenant in one of the regiments of the North Caroli na State troops. My impression is that he attained no higher rank thau that of lieutenant and that his title of colonel is a post bellum honor. I know he was Bever (lovernor of North Carolina (those Kansas people are easily gulled) and could never have given an order for the miltrcattuent of Federal prisoners. If h t did aught of the kind, as alleged, he did it as a soldier under orders. Whut evjr view maybe taken of Colonel Polk's political affiliation he is a gentleman and a Christian. CO I.. I.IVIXliSl'OVS liITION. On the first page of this issue will be fouud extracts from a speech made at Atlanta a few nights ago by Col. Living ston President of the Georgia State Alliance. Col. Livingston's record has been criticised on account of his connec tion with railroad matters but be that as it may there is no uncertain sound in bis political talk. He sees plainly that there must be no division between the Alliance and the non alliance Democrats in the South, and says so plainly enough, it seems to us, to satisfy the greatest sticklers. We advise our readers to read lol. Liv ingston's speech, and pouder it and act on it. Tit E Raleigh ISijnul has again made its appearance with Mr. J. C. L. Harris as editor. It supports President Harrison for a secoud term. The Sijnnl says ''It is possible, barely possible, that the organ ization of a third party in this State might give the State to the Republicans next year, but the contemplation of this fact ought not to deter the Alliance people from organizing and fightiug for their principles and their noiniuees." And further it says: '"If the Alliance should effect no other reform than breaking up the color line in polities, it will have performed a great act which will aid the people to get rid of riu rule uud corrupt tnt t'ui'.ls in the administration of public affairs." The Republicans would of course re joice at the organization of a third party as it would give them their only chance of getting control of the State government and the Legislature, but the people of North Carolina have already had too much of Republican rule for good health. A charter for a Woman's National Alliance was issued at Topeka, Kansas, with Miss Fannie MeCormick as president. The incorporators are the wives of the Alliance Congressmen, and Mrs. Senator Peffer's name hcacls the list. The organ ization is to be national and a vice-president is named for every State in the Union. Lecturers are to be sent into the field to establish sub alliances to co-operate with the Farmers' Alliance. The object of the association is to establish a bureau for the better education of women on economic, social and political questions, and to make and develop a better state mentally and financially with a full and unconditional use of the ballot. Some of the newspapers have been recently speaking in a disparaging manner of Stonewall Jackson's horsemanship. They are not well informed upon this feature of the great chieftain's history. We publish elsewhere a communieaii u upon the subject written by a gentleman who not only was in a position to know what he is talking about, but who also knows as well what pood horsemanship Is as any Southern gentleman laised in ante bellum days, and that is saying a great deal. The Wilmington Star last week en tered upon its 48th semi-annual volume , and 24th year. It has begun its last year of a quarter of a century. It is a straightforward, able paper and is always on the right side of all public questions. We wish it all the success it deserves and belieye it will command it.

JACKSON'S llOKSllANSlIII' Fott the Roanoke Nkws: To au old soldier, who followed Stone wall Jackson, it seems strange to hear it said that Jackson was a poor, awkward horseman. Dabney, -in his life of Jackson, says that his youth was spent with a batchelor uncle, who lived in West Virginia, that the old gentleman was the owner of fine lmrses, and fond of lacing, and that his nephew Tom, was bis favoiite rider. Also, that if any one in that section had au uuruly horse, Tom Jacksou was select ed to ride biu'; that he could get more out of a horse thau anv other rider. With this early training, such as our Southern boys received in those days, he must needs have been a good lider. I had the honor to belong to the 2nd (Jackson's) Corps A. N Va. I have seen the General on the march, on parade, and under heavy tire, and I never 0l noticed any bad, or awkward horseman ship. When everything was tjuiet, I have seeu the General sitting a' ease on his horse, but the slightest cause Would make him all attention. Astiue a spectacle of both horse and rider as Io.tr witnessed occurred on the day before the batilo of Chaneellorsvill. , We had moved, at night, from the vi cinity of Fredericksburg, and by morning wire well up iu the wilderness While the men had stacked arms, and were lying around ou the ground, testing, we heard a cheer from the rear of the column. Some one remarked, that that was cither a rabbit orStouewall Jackson. The yell eoutinuedto swell along up the line, and soon the General came in sight, followed by his entire staff. He was far in ad vance, with bare bead and with l.i horse at full speed, evidently trying to ge t away from the cheering of the men. With his manly form, dollied in a new, well fitting uniform, and sitting on his horse with the most perfect ease and freedom, he presented as fine a specimen of a gallant rider, as I ever saw. Then let I he critics cease from an at tempt to produce the impression that Jackson was a had rider. oOth N. C. THE OLD NORTH STATE. AS CULLED FItOM OUR EXCHANGES. Mr. W. S. Chadwick has been re-elected president of the A. k N. C. railroad. The Confederate Veterans' Associa tion will hold a meeting at Raleigh on the exposition grounds October 15.

There is now living in Mitchell comity a woman who served as a soldier in the Confederate Army, joining hor husband's company. When her sex was discovered she was discharged and her husband de serted and joined the Fed ral army. lie is now drawing a pension.

NEW A DV ERTISEM KNTS. King of Medicines Scrofulous Humor A Cure ' Almost Miraculous." " When I was 11 years of an I li.nl a severe attack of rheumatism, and utter 1 recovered hail to pi on eriitrlies. A year later, u-rufula, in tlie form of white dwellings, appeared on various parts of my Iwly, and for It years I was an Invalid, being confined to my bed years. In tint time tea or eleven sores ap peared and broke, causing mc groat pain and suffering. I feared I never should get well. " Early in isso I went to Chicago to visit a sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time I was there. In July I read a book, ' A Hay with .1 Circus,' in which were statements of cures by flood's Sarsaparilla. I was so im pressed with the success of this medicine that 1 decided to try it. To my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel better and in a short time I was up and out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar saparilla for about a year, when, having used six bottles, I had become so fully released from the disease that I wen'; to work for the Flint St Walling Mfg. Co., and since then HAVE XOT LOST A 8INC.I.E DAT on account of sickness. I believe the disease is expelled from my system, I always feel well, am in good spirits andtiae a good appetite. I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well as any one, except that one limb is a little shorter than the other, owing to the loss of bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg. To my friends my recovery seems almost miraculous, and I think Hood's Sarsaparilla is the king of medicines." William A. Leur, 9 N. Kailroad St., Keudallville, Iud.
