The prospectus of this Company may be

isjio doubt but this enterprise affords the
safest investment of any mining project in

men would do well to turn their attention
to it.

RAIN.—This is naturally a dry climate,
ami we believe if our people depended sole-ly
upon water as a drink they would fre-quently
go thirsty. The first rain in this
vicinity for several weeks fell on Monday
night last, and such were the beneficial re-sults
it produced, as well on man as vege-tation,
that many hard cases, who hadn't
touched water for years seemed to be re-animated.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to learn
that Mr. Clement Smith, an estimable cit-izen
of this countv, one dav last week had
his arm crushed in a thrashing machine,
rendering amputation necessary; hut he
died soon after the operation was perform-ed.
Mr. Smith was aged about sixty years.
CAI-T. TEAL'S SUCCESSOR.—A. Dilworth,

and will no doubt make an acceptable
officer.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.—The late Con-gress
having passed a law granting to
freedmen, who would emigrate, a certain
number of acres of land in Arkansas, Al-abama
and Mississippi, it is said that many
are preparing to go from Virginia and oth-er
States.

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.—The
Philadelphia Convention assembled last
Tuesday. Ii wisdom and patriotism influ-ence
and direct its counsels it will prove a
blessing to the country. If factious men
and intemperate counsels shall control its
deliberations, it will only strengthen Rad-icalism
and perpetuate its ascendency. Its
proceedings are awaited with the utmost
anxiety.
The New York News, noticing the con-fering
of the rank of General upon Grant,
(a rank higher than ever borne by Wash-inton)
and the rank of Admiral Faragut,
saj s it now on remains for Congress to com-plete
the work by conferring titles of no-bility
upon some of the most noted char-acters
of the country, and suggests that
the title of Duke of Lancaster be confer-red
upon Tliad Stevens, and Marquis of
Spoons upon 1 hitler.

GOOD PRICES FOR TOBACCO.—The fol-lowing
prices were obtained for leaf tobac-co,
the crop of B. W. Reid, E<p., of this
county, by X. M. Norfleet, of Richmond,
Va., <m the 1st instant:
Xo. 1, sold to W. G. Miller at *200 per
hundred pounds.
Xo. 2. sold to Thomas «fc Oliver at
$130 per hundred.
No. T, sold to same at £105.
Xo. 3, sold to Mr. Xewdecker at =5101
per hundred.
No. 2, $80 j Xo. 4, $4G; Xo. G, $50;
and Xo. S, $35.50.
These are very fair price'', and should
stimulate the people to turn their attention
to this crop. Mr. Reid, an experienced to
baeco raiser, gives his opinion that as good
tobacco, in point of quality as we'll as yield
can be raised in Guilford as in any section
of the country. He has a very heavy
crop this season, with the fairest prospects
of success.
EMIGRANTS—About two hundred emi-grants,
among them a few knobs of the
"bureau," started from this place Tuesday
morning for the West. They were citi-zens
of this and adjoining counties. This
is the second or third hegira under the su-perintendance
of a gentleman who makes
it his profession to "pilot 'em through."—
And from siuli information as we have
been able to gather, we are satisfied that
tbis train of emigrants did not depart on
account of the bitter persecutions ofthat
terrible ghoul Jonathan Worth, the reason
assigned by the "agent" aforesaid being
that on account of the heavy crops in the
West, it was imperatively necessary to
import into that country men to harvest
and gather them, the wages per day be-ing
one barrel of corn. The agent did
not say how many persons were required
to plant this crop, nor did he say when the
gathering of it would end ; but should the
"hrrvest"' continue through the agproach-ing
winter and spring the emigrants will
doubtless "make a good thing of it."—
"The West,'" and especially "Jngianny"is
a great country. We believe it Mas in
Indiana in the month of November the
first year of the war, that it was discover-ed
that cotton could be raised there as eas-ily
as in South Carolina, and several enter-prising
men raised heavy crops before the
ensuing Christmas.

making efforts to bring out Gen. Alfred
1 )ockery as a candidate for Governor. We
believe Gen. Dockery was once acandidatc
for that office. If we remember rightly
The Standard was published and edited
at that time by its present senior editor.—
He no doubt considers himself a truthful
man—and doubtless what he said during
the campaign of Bragg and Dockery he
considers reliable. This being the case,
we advise the editor of The Standard to
revise his files, and see, if according to the
statement they contain, Gen. Dockery is
a fit and proper man to elevate to the
office of Governor of the State.
NEW TEEMS.—The Richmond Whig,
when noticing cases of horse or mule-steal-ing
which come before the Mayor's court,
culls it '• Sheridanizing." and other species
ot theft and roguery, it expressively terms
" Butleri/.ing."
the freedmen in favor of the freedmen • in
other localitias the bureau is used as a
means of coercing the freedmen in favor
of the planter. The expenditure of the
bureau varies as much as its mode of ad-ministration.
In one! State the expenses
are over three hundred thousand dollars a
year; in another State, with an eyual pop-ulation,
the expenses, are not more than
fifty thousand. In some States thj expen-ses
have been met by taxes levied on and
collected from the people ; in other States
the cost is entirely borne by the United
States Treasury.
The official report of Colonel Reno,
United States army Provost Marshal Gen-eral
of the Bureau of Louisina, shows a
deficit of upwards of seven thousand dol-lars
in the accounts .tf the officers who
were engaged in the t. •'Wtlon of taxes in
New Orleans, which deficit Col. Reno rays
he is unable to explain in consequence of
the loose manner in which the books were
kept.
We are of the opinion that at the close
of the war, and for some time after the
cessation of hostilities, the Freed men's
Bureau did good. The people of the
South, having at first no faith in the ne-groes
working under a free labor system,
were desirous ot getting rid of them, and
during the summer of 1865 judicious bu-reau
and milittry officers did much to-ward
restoring order and harmony, and
inducing the people oi ,the South to re-sume
the cultivation <of their plantations
by employing the fretdmen. Before the
close of 1865 there wis an entire revolu-tion
in the sentiments of the people of the
South with regard tp negro labor. A
feeling of kindness sprang up towards the
freedmen, resulting, perhaps, mainly from
the conviction, that bis labor was desira-ble,
profitable and the only labor to be had.
The necessity of tie Bureau then ceas-ed.
Since then, whin it has been benefi-cial
in some localities, it has been product-ive,
in the aggregate, of more harm than
good. It has occasioned and will perpet-aate
discord as long as it exists, though
administered by the purest and wisest men
of the nation. The freedmen regard its
presence as evidence that they would be
unsafe without it, and the white people
consider it an imputation upon the official
action of all their courts and magistrates,
as well as upon the private conduct of their
citizens. Both races .ire thus made sus-picious
and bitter by .111 agency which, in
the present reorganized condition of civil
government and society in the Southern
States, is powerless fo advance the inter-est
of either.
THE BUREAU.—We regret our inability
to publish the comprehensive report of the
operations of the Freedmen's Bureau by
Generals Steedmnn and Fullerton. It ap-pears
from this report that many of the
officers, ngents, and employees of the
Freedmen's Bureau are a scandalous set of
knaves. Cases are described in the report
of officers of the Bureau who collected
heavy fines and accounted for only a small
fraction of them, and trumped up "lame
excuses for the embezzlement after the
fraud was discovered ; other cases of cler-gymen
attached to the Bureau driving r.
dishonest and oppressive business in mar-riage-
fees ; of slave-pens kept by other of-ficers
from which freedmen were sold to
planters for live dollars a head: of sell-convieted
falsehood on the part of others
in accounts of riialtrcatment of freedmen
by planters ; and a great catalogue of oth-er
iniquities disgraceful even to Yankees.
The Report closes with the following
SLMMAKV,
In pursuing this investigation, which
has now extended over lour months, we
pave found extreme difficulty in comply-ing
with that portion of our instructions
which r quires us to report upon the ope-rations
of tlu- bureau audits mode of ad-ministration.
The bureau has no settled
mode of administration. There is an en-tire
absence of system or uniformity in its
constitution. In one Slate its offiers exer-cise
judicial powers, in an adjoining State
all cases are referred to the civil authori-ties
; while in a third State the bureau of-ficers
collect the cases and turn them over
to the military provost courts to dispose
of. In some departments the officers of the
bureau have attempted to regulate the rate
of wages; one form ot contract between
employer and employed is discribed in
one State, while in another a different form
is adopted. In Louisiana the expenses of
the freedmen's schools have been wholly
paid by the government; in the other
States the schools are partially self-suppor-ting,
and in Texas they are entirely so.—
In some localities the bureau officers inter-
MONUMKNT jo ANNIE C. LEE.—On'
iiir etfa i«"t«ii.. ^nment was erected
over the remains of Annie V. i.ee, WHO
died at the White Sulphur Springs in
Warren County, on the 20th of October,
1802. About one thousand persons were
present. The following letter was read
from the illustrious father of the deceased
to the Committee of Arrangements:
ROCKBRIDGE BATHS, 25th July, 1806.
Ladies:—I have reid with deep emo-tion
your letter of the 1 T^h instant, invi-ting
myself and family to^witness the erec-tion
of a monument over the remains of
my daughter, at Wairen White Sulphur
Springs, on the 8th ofnext month.
I do not know how to express to you
my thanks for your great kindness to her
while living, and for your affectionate re-membrance
of her since dead.
iVly gratitude for your attention and
consideration will continue through life,
and my prayers will be daily offered to
the throne of the most High for his bound-less
blessings upon yon.
I have always cherished the intention of
visiting the tomb of her who never gave
me aught but pleasure; but to afford me
the satisfaction which I crave, it must be
attended with more privacy than I could
hope for on the occasion you propose.
But there, are more controling consider-ations
which will prevent my being pres-ent.
Her mother, who for years has been
afflicted with a painful disease, which has
reduced her to a state of helplessness, is
this far on her way to the Mineral Springs,
which are considered the best calculated
to afford her relief. My attendance is nec-essary
to her in her journey, and the few
weeks I have now at my disposal is the
only time which can be devoted to this
purpose.
But though absent in person, my heart
will be with you, and my sorrow and de-votions
will be mingled with yours.
I hope my eldest sons and daughter may
be able to be present with you, but as they
are distant from me, I cannot tell under
what circumstances your invitation may
find them. I feel certain, however, that
nothing but necessity will prevent their
attendance.
I enclose, according to your request, the
date of my daughter's birth, and the in-scription
proposed for the monument over
her tomb. The latter are the last lines of
the hymn which she asked for just before
her death.
I am, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
It. E. LEE.
DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—One of the most
atrocious outrages that we ever heard of
was perpetrated on the person of a white
woman at the loyal and holy city of Wa
bash; Indiana, last week. A party of loy-al
young men, of the "F. F.'s," decoyed a
woman into the river bottom, and while
they had her there threw her down, strip-ped
her, and holding her by her arms and
legs, induced a negro to ravish her. The
tears, entreaties and protestations of the
poor woman had no effect upon the ruffians
who held her. She screamed and strug-gled
to free herself from the fiends who
held her until nature was exhausted.
The morning following the outrage she
sought legal advice; but as the crime was
so hideous and the amalgamationists who
perpetrated it, of the "first families," (the
negro is of the family of Colonel Cogs-jjrflM
she was told that she could not
laentiry tne parties ,««i-i_,i», to_^^
case, and a purse of four hundred and fif-ty
dollars was raised for her, and she was
sent out of the State. The utmost anx-iety
exists to keep the affair quiet, but "a
chiefs among 'em taking notes, and faith
he'll prent 'em." We have the names of
the amalgamationist who perpetrated the
infernal, diabolical crime. The name of
the woman so grossly outraged, is Mag
Swafford. She is the daughter of a Wa-bash
country farmer.—Huntington Dem-ocrat.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE SCRIP FOR
NORTH CAROLINA.—We learn from Wash-ington
that the commissioner of the Gen-eral
Land Office has, for some time, been
busily engaged in signing the agricultural
college scrip, taken up by the State of
North Carolina, under the congressional
grant of Jiny 2, 1802. The labor i cow-nearly
completed, and the scrip will be
forwarded in a few days to Governor
Worth. There have been 170,030 acres
granted to Xorti. Carolina, which are ta-ken
up, in 1,088 i ieces of scrip, of 100
acres each. The only Southern States
that have thus far signified their intention
of accepting the provisions of the grant
of Congress, besides North Carolina, are
Virginia and Georgia. The law granting
to States the privilege of selecting land's
for agricultural and mechanical colleges
provides for an amount of public lands
equal to 30,000 acres for each Senator and
Representative in Congress, to w Inch such
States are respectively entitled by the ap-portionment
under the census of 1*800, the
tracts to be selected from the public lands
of the United States subject to private en-try,
at SI.25 per acre, or selections may
be made from the $2.56 or double mini-mum

to be committed at the maximum price,

At a meeting of the Stockholders of this

resolved to begin to re-build the road so
soon as $7-5,000 from the sale of new-stock

to begin operations at once, and will
do so as soon as the above subscription is
made. It remains for the people in the ad-joining
counties, who are deeply interes-ted,
but who have not yet lent a helping
hand, to come forwrrd and do what only-will
be their great interest. A meeting
for that purpose, will be held in States-ville,

PETER ADAMS, C. P. MENDKRHALL,
DEATH OF A. G. FOSTER, ESQ.—It is
with feelings of sadness ami deep regret
that we record the death of this distin-guished
gentleman, a tribute of respect to
whose memory we published in our last.
It was our good fortune to have known
Mr. Foster long and well, and we can tru-ly
say that we have never known a more
honest and upright man in our life. Few
men possessed a clearer head, and none a
more honest heart. We have often thought
that he was the r,*ost talented man to
whom his native county ever gave birth.
Bred to the law, he soon rose to eminence
at the bar, and if he had not retired early
he would undoubtedly have reached the
highest distinction of the profession. In
personal character he was open, frank, sin-cere
and manly, and none would sooner
have scorned a mean action. He was a
placable enemy and a strong friend—a
high toned and chivalrous gentleman.
Faults he probably had, and who of us has
not. But, in the language of Hayly, in
memory of Henry the IV, of France, we
would say,
" His fiili: g< he they covered o'er by bis tomb,
And perennial laurels above his ashes bloom "

negro the previous night. The horse was
also brought to the city, and shortly after
the arrival of the party here, a party in
search of the horse arrived, who identi-fied
him as the property of Mr. Ludwick,
who resides near Mt. Pleasant. The horse
was not given up but is still in possession
of Mr. Smith, who will give him up when
the owner comes and proves property.—
