Our Village is now being honored by n

him apparently in the enjoyment of fine
health and spirits. He delivered yesterday,
at noon, during the adjournment of Court,
before large number of his constituents
Of Lancaster, most effective and spirited
address upon the politics of the times. 1t
was entirely characteristic of the man-zeal-
Gus in devotion to Southern honor and in
terest, independent in thought and forcible
in expression. 1: was received with unan.
imops applause and evident satisfaction by
his large audience. AS our paper goes to

Our Court.

The Court Of Common Pleas and Gener-
al Sessions for this District is in session the
present week, Judge Withers presiding
His Honor is looking well, and is despatch-
ing tho business with his accustomed energy
and ability. The dcckets are all light and
the probability is that the court will not
sit more than three or four days. His Hon
or's charge to the Grand Jury on Monday
morning was lengthy and ably delivered,
entering with spirit into the multiform du-
ties which devolve upon that body. The
reports from the several Boards were pass
ed with few structures upon some Of
them.
On the sessions docket are few cases
Of small consequence.
True bills have been found in several un-
imp ortant cases of assault, battery, riot and
retailing without license At the time we
pen this notice, the Grand Jury have repor-
ted no action in the case Of Sweat, who
was imprisoned = short time since on the
charge Of having been implicated in the
murder Of Amanda Massey, the young lady
who was poisoned under peculiar crcum-
stances which we reported at the time
Our efficient Solicitor is at his post and no
doubt will see that the public interest In
these cases is properly cared for.
The Sum Pro docket was small, but q
large proportion of the cases were litigated
and nearly the whole of Monday was con-
sumed in their adjudication.
The Issue docket presents no case Of
more than ordinary interest.
We were pleased to meet with several
gentlemen Of the legal fraternity from neigh.
boring Districts. Col. Dawkins of Union,
Col. Kershaw and Mr.. DePass of Camden,
Messrs Williams, Smith, Melton and With
erspoon of York, and Mr.. CASTOR Of Chcs-
ter, are in attendance.

WAsHINGToN CRY. Sept. -
DEAR LEDGER On yesterday left the
"Quakcr City" and am now at "Willards,"
Washington City. The crops from phila-
dclphia TO Washington have been complete.
ly Frustrated by the late storm and | am
told that it has entirely devastated them rs
far South as Richmond, Va.
This morning we hired n carriage to visit
through the city and succeeded in visiting
some of the most noted points First the
Presidents mansion, which is situate in the
wctern part of the city and is built upon n
plat OF ground containing 20 acres, and has
both n northern and southern front In
front of the portco and in n square plot
is situated statue Of Jefferson in bronze,
holding in his left hand n scroll, representing
the Declaration of independence, and in his
right, fourishing pen as though he had
just finished that immortal document which
freed our country. 1t is imposing aud fills
the heart of his couItrymen with the most
profound admiration for the man who pro.
visited the National Observatory, which is
situate on Camp HILL" two miles from the
Capitol, and is a colossal building in the
form Of n cross. The point from which
observations are had is the Dome, in which
is contained all the Instruments for the pur.
pose. 1t is from this point that dislonccs
are computed. Next, we visited the Capt.
tol, which stands one mile east Of the Po.
tomac upon an eminencc 81 feet above high
tide; stands at the foot Of PENNSYLVANIA
Avenue and commands Il full view OF WASH
ington, Georgetown, Alexandria and the
Potomac. The building covers ~ acres
its length is 352 feet, and height to top of
Dome, l45 feet This is the original size
of the building new wings are being ad-
ded. ow nearly finished, the size of which
is 23S by 40 feet, each so that the entire
structure, when completed, will cover over
acres. These wings contuin the new
Hall of Representatives and Senate cham
ber' which is finishing up in the most mag
nificent and gorgeous style.
The Capitol grounds are beautifully lald
out in gravelIed walks, which also contain
two fountains and basins, but from the want
OF an appropriation at the last session of
Congress, the waters Rave dried up. At
the foot Of the western entrance stands
monument erected to Somers, Caldwell,
Decatur, Wadsworth, Drosy, and Israel,
who fell in the war with Tripol
Next we visited the Patent Office. This
is structure Of colossal proportions. The
buiIng "ss originally 27o feet long by 10
wide, but there is now two wings added,
one Of which is 264 feet long and g. wide;
the other 27O by 65 wide each 30 feet

long In the basement of the center build

During the summer tha, has ju

During the summer that has just passed
away, thousands OF sufferers from dyscntcrv
and darrhTa have been relieved by the use of
H0SrETTER'S BITTERS, a medicine which
is evidently destined to maintain a permanent
place in the public estimation. Bilious diarrhna
is one OF those diseases which battles the skill
OF the physician. The medicine they admins
ter to act upon the bowels never seems to
reach the source of the evil. The difficulty is
to get remedy that will reach all the digestive
organs, and give them simultaneously rush of
vigor, to rid themselves of this disease. This
problem is solved by the BIrTERs, which never
fails to conquer the most stubborn cases. II
is only fair to say, that during the season Just
closed, this medicine has achieved more cures
than any other ever pacsentcd to the public
and during the fall. which thai terrible scourgc.
the fever and aguc, is so prevalent, the BrrrrRs
will gain fresh fame.
Sold oy druggists and dealers generally.

THE PesT OFFICE DEFICIENCY BILI.-"Ion"
the Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun writes. Early in the session it
is presumed that postoffice deficiency bill
will be passed. In the bill which failed at
the late session there was an item OF four
millions for deficiencies fot the last fiscal
year, and for the present fiscal year there
will also be n considerable defciency-per-
haps five millions. The sum called for to
meet the deficiency next December can be
readily met by the Treasury. - In addition
to about FIVE millions now in the Treasury,
there Is The amount of eight and a half
millions of Treasury notes, which may be
released. There is no doubt, therefore, that
the Treasury will be in condition to meet
any deficiency bill that will be passed

The Incoming Cotton Crop.

' seems to be the current opinion that an
unusually heavy cotton crop will be made
this year throughout the Southern States.
This impression may be correct, but the ac-
counts from certain quarters do not favor
it. In our own State, the crop cannot be
much over an average. The crops in this
DISTRICT, which have been pronounced good,
comparatively, by persons who have been
through other portions of the State, will
not be, according TO ,hc judgement of sew.
eral farmers S'ith whom we have eOnversed,
greatly above ordinary. Some sections of
the District are making more md others
less than an average crop. A Correspon-
dent of the Savannah Republican,, writing
from Waldo, says Of the crops in Florida :
The season, nearly throughout, think,
has been decidedly the most unfavorablc
for crops that have known in Florida, and
would have cut the crop Short without the
caterpillar, and now this destructive worm
is doing his work of dcsolation where he
has moi already completed it. II might be
supposed that at this late day the catcrpil-
lar ould not do much damage. but the
crop is very late. so that all the fruit that
would have maturcd for month or more
after the appearance of the worm will be
cut off. It is my deliberate opinion, from
all that have seen and learned, that the
cror cannot exceed half an average crop.
