A LETTER OF CONDOLENCES TO MAJOR
GEORGE PETER 1t affords us much
pleasure to publish the following letter,
addressed to Maj. GEORGE Peter, by a
committee of the Agricultural Society of
of this county, under resolution passed
at its recent meeting. The gentlemen
who composed this committee have DIS
charged the duty imposed upon them Dy
the society, and have correctly and in
truth expressed the feeling not only of
the members of the society, but the citi-
zens of the entire county, in relation to
the venerable and distinguished veteran
to whom it is addressed. We can all
recall, with pleasure, his generous hos
pitality-his urbane and dignifed man.
ners-Eis great christian charity, aud
his gallant and chivalric bearing, infus-
ing life and happiness wherever he went;
and we all now lament that his hour of
trial came--that the hand of affliction
fell upon him--that the sphere of his use
fuiness has been curtailed yet, in this
sorrow, there is measure of relief All
who visit him, find his mind unimpaired,
and learn from him lessons of goodness
and usefulness. Let us, therefore, nope
that, though in affection his days may
be many, and that He who afflicts him,
may give him grace to bear With forth
tude and resignation his many sufferings.

Eg- Judgine from the fo,lowinr Re- |

LEI Judging from the following Re-
port and Resolution of the State of Vir-
ginia, the General Government is likely
yet to have some difficulty before appro-
priating tho waters of the Potomac for
the use of the Washington Aqueduct.
REPORT
Of Committee and Joint Resolution of
the Legislature Of Virginia an refer
ence to the Rtparian Rights Of Virgin
IA Proprietors on the Potomac riuer.
Agreed to March 2Sth, 1860.
The Select Committee to whom was re-
ferred the Governors message and docu-
ments, and the memorial of John Carroll
Brent, President of the Great Falls Man
ufacturing Company, in reference to Ri
parian Rights of Virginia Proprietors
upon the Potomac river
REPoRT, That it appears that in the
month of November, eighteen hundred
and fifty eight, in trial between the
Washington Aqueduct Company and the
Great Falls Manufacturing Company, in
respect to the appropriation of portion
of the land, water and water-powcr,
claimed by the latter company to be its
property, decision was rendered by one
of the Courts of the State of Maryland,
that the owners of land in Virginia, bor-
dering upon the Potomac river, have no
riparian rights upon said river; and the
Judge in declaring the opinion of the
Court, says: 8" He thinks it clear that
I" Maryland included within her char
tered limits not only the bed of the
" Potomac river follow water mark on the
" further side, but to the bank beyond,
excluding the possession of any ripari-
an rights of the State of Virginia"
Your Committee regard this decision
as affecting the rights of the citizens of
Virginia to serious extent, and which
if acquiesced in by Virginia, would not
only be surrender of all manufacturing
privileges upon the said river from the
Great Falls to its source, an extent of
more than two hundred miles, but it would
materially affect the boundaries claimed
by Virginia, and which she is now seek
ing to establish by deputing commits
sioner to England in search of the evil
dence thereof.
Your Committee further think that au
acquiesceuce, upon the part of Virginia,
in said decision, would impose upon her
a submission of rights on the Potomac
river solemnly received by the compact
Of 1855, and asserted cmphatically in
the Constitution.
Your Committee are informed that tho
correctness of that decision will be con
tested, and inasmuch as the valuabl'
rights of the citizens of Virginia to {
great extent are to be affected thereby
your Committee recommend the adoption
Of the following resolution:
Resolced by tie General assembly, That
the Governor of Virginia, be and be il
hereby authorized, if in his discretion
the rights of the citizens Of Virgins
shall demand it, to cause the State Of
Virginia to be represented by the Attor.

ton Aqueduct Company against Tue Great
Falls Manufacturing Company, whether
the same shall be reheard by the same
Court that pronounced decision thereon
or before any other legal tribunal.
