E (£l|e Paiiu State Sattrnal, ~ RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY EVENING, MARCIllTTsTh VOL ITT.^NoTT^T Senator Sprague Exonerated from the Charge against Him.—ln tho U. S. Senate, yesterday morning, Mr. Thurman, from the select committee to investigate tho alleged traffic with rebels in Texas during tho war, under the resolution offerod hy Senator Sprague on December 13th, made a report covering nearly 150 pages, signed by Messrs. Thurman, Ham lin, Howe, Willey, and Trumbull. Tho committee, after reviewing all the papers furnished by the War Department, report that they find no evidence of any com plicity on the part of Senator Sprague in any unlawful transaction. That there was guilty traffic hy Hoyt, and possib]y qpmo others, is quite probable they say, but there is nothing in the papers to implicate Senator Sprague therewith. The commit tee next quote the statements of Hon. Thomas A. Jenckes, of Rhode Island, and enclose tho list of witpesses furnished by him, some of whom are iv Texas, others in Colorado, othors in New York, and an important ono in England, consequently there was no time to examine them. The report concludes as follows: "All that your committee can do under the circum stances, and after having found that there is nothing in the papers implicating Senator Sprague, is to ask, as they now do, that they bo discharged from the fur ther consideration of tho subject." The committeo was discharged. Railroads. —Tho Staunton Spectator in the course of somo remarks on the Inter nal Improvements of the State, says : — "When the proper guards and restrictions are imposed, and tho proper remedies for their prompt enforcement, by the agency of the courts, by general laws applicable to all transportation companies, aro pro vided, then we would be in favor of giving the largest latitude for the incorporation of new railroad companies. The moro roads we can have the better. We would bo glad to see it established as a matter of right for any company, whenever it made an exhibit of its present purposo and abil ity to build a railroad between any given points, that it should have authority to do so under the obligations and restrictions imposed by the general railroadlaw. .»» —. Dental Surgery.—Among tho grad uates of tbe Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, we notico the following from Virginia : Edward W. Anderson, Frank L. Harris, Henry C- Jones, Wm. A. Mills, Ambrose S. Page, Thomas H. Parramore, John E. Poulton, and Joseph H. Scales. The address to the graduating class was delivered by Henry C. Jones, of Virginia. c Sir Stafford Northcote, who has arrived iv Washington, expresses Banguino hopes that the result of the labors of the joint high commission will bo the amicable settlement of tho questions at issue "between the United States and Great Britain. He thinks a side issue will not peril the settle ment of the main questions. * Paris During the Siege. — Minister Washburne has written a letter to Secre tary Fish, from Paris, February sth, re porting his official acts during tho seige. He says: " Now that tho seigo is over I am thank ful that I have remained through it all, for I believe I have been of somo service to the interests with which I have been charged. It is with pleasure that lam enabled to state that I have succeeded in protecting all American property in Paris, and that no harm has come to any of our Americans who have remained hero. This statement must be qualified, however, so as not to apply to the young American Mr. Swager, who lost his life by having his foot torn to pieces by a Prussian shell, and to tho two young men whose property was destroyed by thu bursting of a ihr'l in their apartments in the Latin quarter." Mr. Washburne adds that the most cor dial support was given him by the authori ties, and he was thus enabled to prevent tho occupation of apartments belonging to Americans, and to induce the abandon ment of the projoet to tax the property of absentees. Mr. Washburne also afforded protection to Germans aud to the magnifi cent hotel of the Prussian legation, in doing which he incurred the hostility of some of tho Parisians, aud was denounced at tho clubs and in the press. _ —.a. The Arctic Expedition.—The U. S. steamer Perriwinkle, iv which Captain Hall will this summer make an expedition to as near the north polens he can ge., is on the ways at tbe Washington navy yard re ceiving a complete overhauling, and when the workmen aro done with her, the stout little vessel will bo almost as good as new. Heavy timbers are being used to strength en her, and inside her sheathing there will be a coating of cork. She will have in htr two boilers, one of which will use blubber, the only |fuel accessible in some portions of the Arctic region. To protect her pro peller when she reaches the ice-fields sho will carry a propeller well. Constructor Delano, uuder whose direction several of thu former Arctic expeditions have been fit tod out, has tho superintendence of the work, and is giving his personal supervi sion to the fitting out of tho vessel, which is of 387 tons burden, and will probably take not moro than oue or two guns. The expedition will leavo hero iv May or June. Washington Star. Home of the Jenkinses report that Lily, or Lillie, is to be the fashionable name for young ladies in New York during tho coming summer. In one sense the uame is appropriate to them, since "they toil not, neither do they spin," aud it is abso lutely certain that "Solomon in all his glo ry" never could have been arrayed like ono of them. Lily lias also another fitness, which is that it rhymes tolerably well with silly, an adjective that applies aptly to auy girl idiotic enough to changi: hor given name for a stoleu one. liettrr from __!■•• Kilxvartt. PARTICULAnS OF THE CAPTURE OF LVC'IKN BEARD, THE DESPERADO. Farmville, Va., March 3rd, 1871. To the Editor of the State Journal : The old adngo that thero ia "always n calm 1 after a storm," has been fully realized iv 1 our little town, and all is quiet along the Appomattox, after the intense excitement - caused by the capture of the notorious horse-thief Lucien Beard. In physical con formation ho is every inch a man, aud one is forcibly struck with his urbanity, ad dress and ready How of language ; In fact, he is as mild a mannered man as ever scut tled a ship or cut a throat. Three gentlemen deserve the special thanks of this community for their un tiring energy and activity in bringing to justice this daring robber and thief. I allude to our worthy and efficient Town Sergeant, It. B. Stepheus; Mr. W. 11. Keunedy, proprietor of tho Randolph House; and Mr. Samuel Amos, of tho county of Cumberland. When the party in search of Beard arrived in sight of Mr. Huddleston's house, whero Beard was con cealed, Messrs. Stephens, Keunedy and Amos dashed gallantly ahead of their comrades, Keunedy and Amos surrounding tho house, whilst Stephens rushed boldly iv, demanding Beard to surrender, which ho did, handing his p'stol with musslo re versed to Stephens, with the understand.. ing that the benefits of the law should be given him. When the excited crowd arrived, he claimed protection from Ste phens, remarking that no brave man would shoot a prisoner, but that d—n cowards might. These aro facts, from an eye-witness, and are duo to the bravo men who so gallantly risked thoir lives in vin dication of tho majesty of the law. Glf.nmore. » -♦—♦ lietter from IVausemoml- Nansemond Co.. Va., March 2. To the Editor of the State Journal: After a very hard winter of rains, snows, sloels, and hail storms, beautiful spring with its pleasant weathor has arrived. Our farmers are bostiring themselves in getting in early crops ; will plant very small crops of early Irish potatoes, from the fact that seed is so high,—sß per barrel for Early Rose, —tho only kind planted fur market; and, besides, they have determined not to do as Southern planters are doing, raise crops of cotton at 20 cents per pound and sell at 18_@1_ cents —potatoes that cost $2.60 per barrel to raise them and sell at $1 as in yoars past, but will put in moro varied crops of grain, &c. Wo occasionally see a stray copy of the National Virginian from Messrs. Humph reys & Co., for which we aro under obliga tion to that gentleman, but cannot peruse its columns with tho same gratification ns those of the State Journal. Wo are having cases of contested elections hero es we'll v elsewhere. We had a fair and im partial election last November, resulting iv favor rf those opposed to old Democracy by M 8 majority; and yet strange and in consistent as it may seem to be, those who had held office for twenty years, and their fathers before them, seem so unwilling to give up their old places, simply from the fact that the Commissioners failed to meet in accordance with law, and those ap pointed to count tho ballots were the friends of the old aspirants: The present incumbents, who aro all old foggics, de mand of their opponeuts the full amounts of security to thoir bonds, when ono of their stripe can qualify most any way. Consistency, thou art a jewel! Citizen. , — A Prussian Itcvlew at _ongcntii—p*. THE EMPEROR WILLIAM CHEERED BY HIS TROOPS. Versailles, March I.—The main body of occupation formed at Lougchamps and in the Bols do Boulogne, whero a review was held, and it then entered Paris at noon. General Kamecke commands tho army of occupation. The troops reviewed wore a portion of the Third, Sixth and Eleventh Prussian corps, and 11,000 Bavarians. They made a splendid show. Count Bismarck, dressed in full Cuiras sier's uniform, was on the ground. Exactly at half past 10 o'clock tho Em peror drove up to tho back of the graud stand in a low, open carriage, attended by dragoons and the great officers of his house hold. Alighting on the steps of the grand entrance, he took horse aud cantered across tho field towards tho general staff which had followed along the line As the Em peror appeared, tho bands played " Heil Dir," and all the troops saluted him. The Emperor looked exceedingly well,and rode dashingly, despite his lingering indis position. As he rode down tho front of the lino the flags were drooped, and the men gave three ringing cheers. The Emperor kept his hand on his hel met, and smiled upon the soldiers. Past ing Bismarck, he waved his hand iv a friendly manner twice. Having passed up and down tho lines, tho Emperor galloped across the field to a point 200 yards to the right of the grand stand facing the troops, whero he took up a position in front of the Crown Prince, sitting eroct on his charger surveying tho troops for a moment with deep emotion. Tho ordor was eiveu to march. Tho bands struck up, and, with a splendid step, the men marched past in so perfect a manner that each bat tery presented a profile as of only ono gun. One of the cars attached to a train which arrived at Detroit ou Tuesday even ing, was found to contain a littlogirl about five years old, to whoso cloak was pinned a paper inscribed: "This girl goes to Kendalville, Indiana," No one could ba found in the train who knew anything about her, and a lady en route to her home iv Toledo, took the child, expressing her willingness to keep her until her friends were heard from. . «4_>v A bridegroom in Moiirnfl, Wisconsin, discharged a gun into a crowd of boys who had come to serenade him and his bride, aud learned the next morning that he had instantly killed one of his new brothers in-law, besides seriously wounding two other persons. He gavohimself up to the police, and claims that he thought the gun was not loaded, and only intended to frighten the boys. ■ -•-*-• Here is how the Duluth Morning Call talks of its city fathers : "The Common Council met yesterday. They talked canal a little ; allowed a few little bills ; joked a little ; smoked a few cigars ; told a fow stories, aud then adjourned." BY TELEGRAPH TO-DAY'S DISPATCHES, Washington News, Washington, March 4 —The President has received but few visitors in the past two or three days, his time being occupied with business consequent upon the close of tho session. Tho Secretary of the Navy will notify the new members of tho next Congress on Monday to nominate candidates for the Naval Academy. The number of appoint ments to be made is forty. Tho Secretary of the Treasury has been notified by the First National Bank of New York of its intention to subscribe for $1,000,000 of the new fivo per cent, bonds. Jay Cooke & Co. aro also large sucsbrfbers, and tho Western national bauks will also take large amounts. The books will be opened for subscription on Monday next. The conference committee ou tho South ern Pacific railroad bill havo agreed to attach to the bill the branch roads to New Orleans and California, in which shape it is claimed the bill will undoubtedly pass. ♦.«_.♦ The Indiana Moving to their Reser vations—>A Peaceful Prospect. Chicago, March 4.—lntelligence has been received at General Sheridan's headquar ters from Port Laramie, Wyoming Terri tory, and other points in that region, that the Indians are breaking up camp north of the Pacific railroad, and preparing to move South on the opeuing of spring to occupy their reservations in Indian Terri tory. Tho Arapuhoe3 aro foremost in the movement, having already started on their journoy in largo numbers. Tho apprehensions, which the dispatch es to Washington city said were felt, that the breaking up of winter would, at tho same time cause trouble among tho sav ages as well as whites, arc dispelled to a certain extent by Information that govern ment agents are actively engaged in assist ing the movement of the tribes, so every thing is expected to move smoothly, and war, it is thought will be avoid. There are great uumbera of Indians in tho region of the Pacific railroad iv Wy oming Territory, butsoineof tho tribes are ' disposed to bo peaceable, (the Arapahoea and others,) and if tho Sioux government ' disturb them, the prospects are, from the ' news received, that summer will see the savages all stored away nicely on their I reservations. e.emk>» San Domingo—The Annexation Busi ness. Kingston, March 3. —Tbe news from San Domingo produces the wildest excite ment among the merchants bore holding property iv the Island of Hayti, who are delighted at the probability ot tho security of the property and the stability of tho government. Annexation is certain to insure its value which increases, and pros pects arc brighter. ♦*_>-» ' Fatal Accident—Three Peraons Killed I Chicago, March 4.—Yesterday afternoon, ' at No. !!48 Hubbard street, while Mr. j Martin, the owner of the houso, was ' engaged in raising the building, with the assistance of John Smith and William ' Pierce, the supports suddenly gave way, £ atid Smith and Pierco were crushed to a jelly, being dead beforo they could be ' reached. Mr. Martin was so severely in- i jurod that he can scarcely survive. «-«»* i The Fall Mall Gazette on the Alabama t Claims. \ London, March 8. — The Pall Mall Oa- 3 zetle expresses the belief that tho High 6 Commission, now in session in Washing ton, avoiding all difficulties as to the dis tribution of the Alabama claims, will t agree to pay a round sum of money, leav- c ing the division of the same to tho United r States. Frightful Scenes In the Jura. Horr yon Wickede, of tbe Cologne g Gazette, describing an excursion he made t from Belfort to rontalicr, says : s Heaps of forsaken corpses mouldered ' away among the bushes and in the ditches of the high road. Not far from Mont beliaril a doctor and I found eight French- * men dead in one house, and already in an £ advanced stage of decomposition. Among ' them lay a wounded man still alive, and v who cried out for help in a lamentable voice. We took him out with somo difficul- ° ty and laid him in tho open air. He was a * little man, scarcely seventeen years of age, a student at Avignon. A Prussian grenade r had torn his two legs below the knees. {Ho T had remained in this stato seven whole days without being attended to, without water, and entangled amoDg all other J corpses. He had wrapped up his wounds in the rags of his uniform, and the cold v had stopped tho hemorrhage. He had ' crawled up to his companions, and had a taken bits of biscuit out of their pockets, v which sufficed for his subsistence ; ho had * slacked his burning thirst by drinking the s great flakes of snow which fell in at the window. He had lived thus for a week. Tho unhappy man has been .taken to 8 Switzerland, and tho doctor thinks he will w live. Horse flesh is now the principal food of the inhabitants of the country ; and I havo d myself soou a bevy of famished women a throw themselves upon a dead horso like o a pack of wolves, and tearing it with all a sorts of Instruments swallow morsels quite 0 raw. I have even been told—but Ido not c vouch for the truth of this—that the tin- j] fortunate people have eaten human flesh 1V taken irom tho remains of the dead sol- Q diors. This is the eighth campaign I have a been through, but ueithor in Algeria, nor s in Italy, nor in Bohemia, not oven in Sles- B , wick, have I seen sights so horrible. .._».. n Horrible Murder of a Woman.—Mrs. ii V.

" Several thousand tea plants were received *, in San Francisco last year from Japan, and j after lying in store for sometime were set li out in a plantation on Mr. Lirannau's estate T at Calistoga. Tho plants had been so long *' out of their native earth, aud were in such 5] condition when received at Calistoga, says |J tho Bulletin, that it was doubted whether o any of them would live. About ten or 8 ' fifteen per cent., however, put forth leaves and will probably grow in time into "ie- z , spt-ctable tea shrubs, though not at pre- F sent in a very thrifty condition. o; At the same time a quantity of Japa- 01 MM tea usd was received and planted out " in the samo locality. Tho seeds all germi- n nated, and the young plants appear so T thrifty that no doubt is now entertained of « thu success of the experiment, and Mr. fj Perkins, who has the matter in charge, „ having recently received from Eugene M. v Van Reed, of Kanagawa, a fresh supply n of several hundred pounds of seed, is now engaged in planting them.

' An Ancient Survey. —Jsy virtue of a warrant issued on the 25th day of October, 1749, and signed by Baron Cameron, Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia, to whom it was granted by King George the Second of England, directed to "Mr. George Washington," the latter, who was then a youDg surveyor, was authorized to survey for Mr. Burnaby McKannary, of Frede rick county, 400 "acre 3of waste and ungranted land," in said county, on Lost river. The survey made by Washington in this instance is now in the office of the Register of the Virginia Lands, and is doubtless among tho earliest made by him. Tho plat ia beautifully drawn and the writing plain as print. It is returned on thfi 3d of November, 1719, nnd is signed, "G. Washington. S. C. C," John Lonem nnd Edward Corden being chair.nen, John Dun. barr, marker. ;Like all of Washington's efforts the cbirogrnpby is most creditable to the then youthful surveyor. Freedmcns' Saving and Trust Company. The results of the working of this admirable institution on the pecuniary fortunes of our colored citizens, who have availed themselves of its advantages, has been such as to leave no loubt of its immense usefulness to them. It has not only induced a habit of saving, but tvith hundreds, a desire, by its aid, to become pecuniarily independent. As pertinent to this ■übject, we may mention that it appears by aiemorandum kept by the cashier of the com pany in this city, that for tho seven months ;nding February 23th, 1871, the investments in real estate made by its depositors, from noney drawn out of the bank, amounted to 58,567—in amounts from $50 to $500. No loubt there was other transactions in real ■state amounting to as much more, by aid of he company, of which the cashier here was lot oilicially made cognizant-.

The Sparrows on Ihe Square.~Ry this time he sparrows have mated and are preparing or housekeeping. They need nesting materi .ls, such as small tufts of cotton, feathers, and ' me hay, which should be placed in their sight very pleasant day for a month. A pair of heso birds require an apartment of two hun- Ired cubic inches, which they fill in a marvel- I ous manuer to protect themselves in our se I ■crest winter weather. Ifsuitabla houses are rected at once for thorn on trees, well up in he shade, and near dwellings any where, tho parroH-s will soon find them. Plain brown quare boxes are better than the lancy houses tten put up, which generally lack room and hade. Counterfeit. —To prevent any of our cit'- ' tns from being victimized by $10 bills cm the nnd Manufacturer's National Bank, f New York, a Urge number of which are in irculatiun, we give the following facts : The iota is poorly executed, and may bo easily de ected. It is printed on heavy "paper, and on he lace the shaded lines ar.» very coarsely cut. 'he back is a contre piece of De Suta discover- ' og the Mississippi, and on the left, the arms of iew York State. Ou the right side of the cen re piece is an eagto aad shield. A single ' -lance at this latter will undeceive any ore ipon whom it is endeavored to pass the bogus tote. The Carnival at the Skating-UiukJ last yening was a grand success, when it is coa idered ho.v inclement the weather was. The i all was os fly filled with visitors despite tbe ailing rain. A largo number of the pupils ippeared in fancy dress, and the scene pre ented was very enlivening. It is the general lesire that the carnival should be repeated at in early day. We rvouM suggest to some of hose who are in tho habit of masking on such locasiong, that tho grotesque and ridiculous lan always be freed from vulgarity or even niklicacv, aud that this should always bo lone. *" — *» Advertisements will be Inserted In the BVEMKO JOURNAL et the following ratee: One square, one Insertion $ T» One square, two Insertion 1 26 One square, three insertions 1 7* One square, six insertions 8 00 One square, twelve Insertions ft 60 One square, one month „ io 00 One sqnare, two months... 18 00 One sqnare, three months For quarterly and yearly Advertisers special arrangements will be made.
