! Especial Correspondence of the "Enquirer. "
DUMFRIEs, Va, Nov. 20, 1851.
All is quiet at the batteri,s. The enemy
are still in large numbers at Pohick Church.
and are cutting wood in that neghborhood for
the use of the Federal troops in Alexan-
dria and Washington. The sourd of their
axes can be heard Oh this side Of the Occcquan,
but they have not yet crossed the creek.
The letter of your Alexandria correspondent
causes feeling of indignation against the op.
pressors only equalled by sympathy for our
unfortunate friends in Alexandria.
The attention of the Confederate authorities
should be called to the unnecessary destruction
of fences. &C., by the troops in this "neighbor-
| hood. The resuls will be great loss and dis.
| satisfaction on the part Of the citizens and
large claims for damages against the govern
ment.
| Are the Northern people madP Or do they
suppose Eogaud has sunk so low in the scale
Of natons that she will t.nely submit to the
insult Of her Hsg, by the forcible arrest of her
| ministers on board of one of her vessels
Were it not for the Inconvenience to Messrs-
Mason and Slidell, VIC could rejoice ut Yankee
folly. Should England raise the blockade Of
Southern ports, the invasion Of the South
will be ut an end, ard our troops will soon
commence their march 70 Cincinnati and Phil.

The roads about here are in very bad condi.

it is very onerous Bread, meal, and frewood

Of our troops suffering this winter for want Of

though the high prcfts on it tempt many to
violate the orders against its sale. The soldiers
adopt many ingenious ways TO snngglc the
coveted article into camp. Col. B. met one Of
his men carrying bis musket so very carefully
that be stopped and examined the gun, and
found the tube plugged, and the barrel charged
with whiskey to the muzzle. At one Of the
camps, after failing for long time to discover
the mode in which liquor was introduced into
the camps,it vas at last found that long.
neckod demijohn was filed within few inches
of tho mouth with whiskey, o cork pushed
down to the liquor, small quantity Of milk
poured on the cork, and second stopper,
placed in tie mouth of the demijohn. Upon
examination the officers would perceive the
milk between the corks and permit it to pass.
The soldier would then pull out the first cork
pour out the milk, push the lower cork in and
pour out the wbisEey. Q0AHTIco.

EXTRAORDINARY INvENTIoN.-It gives US
pleasure to be able to recommend to all
interested, one of the most valuable i'm
provements eyer made, consisting of a
very simple, reliable, and durable Corn
Shelter, Cob Crusher, and Meal and Flour
ing Mil. all in one machine.
Fer description Of this extraordinary
Instrument, we refer the reader to the adj
vertisement in another column. We have
long been acquainted with Messrs. Dow
hey and Mcneil, the gentlemen who have
the thing in charge, and assure the public
that they are reliable. In addition to this
we have just received letter from one OF
the principal farmers in Walworth county,
a gentleman of our acquaintance, who has
bad one of them in operation about year,
who says of the Mills, Il consider them a
very fine thing, such as all farmers who
keep much stock should have" There
can be no humbug about them, unless the
conversion of grain into meal and -four is
humbug, and Of the great utility and val
ne Of the Instrument we think there car
be no doubt.

Eg= There is moro than the usual
breadth Of land sown to winter wheat in
this vicinity this Fail, and we have rarely
if ever seen it looking better than it is now.
The difference in price between this varie-
ty and Spring wheat is so great as to make
it an object to raise the former, though of
iase years the seasons have been so unfa-
vorable as to make the crop an uncertain
one.

NEEDS MENDING We don't know OF
any thing whose ways need mending more
than the road between this place and Hub
bleton. Since tie Plank Road Co. aban-
doned II, it has grown mo better very
fast until now it is next to impossible 10
drive over ii for at least half the distance,
at rate of speed faster than walk. 1t
ought to be some ones business to see to
it and have it repaired at once. Water
town is losing money every day that 1t re-
mains in its present condition, for much
trade that would naturally come here, now
goes elsewhere because it can't get to Wa
tertown if it wants TO. We ought to get
ten times the wheat from that direction
that we do. but SO long as that road re-
mains as 1t is now, no additions to the
quantity received at present need to be
looked for,
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1861-10-25

la The Milwaukee and Western
Railroad Go. has all it can do now to trans
port the wheat seeking shipment to Mil
waukee by that route. Extra freight
trains are running at all hours of the day
and night, and also Sundays. Even then
there is much complaint on the part o.
shippers that they cannot get all the ae
commodation they want.

the first time since he took charge of the
establishment. We h rdly knew the place.
Every thing about it IS as neat as wax,
and the house, in all its appointments,
just what from our knowledge of Major B.
we might expect it to be, one Of the best
to be found in any country town in the
State. The Major gave US capital din

In THE FoG.-There is a great differ
ence in the minds of people as to the man
ner in which County Supervisors are to be
elected-some claiming that according to
Atty. General Hewe's construction of the
law the four persons voted for in this coun-
ty for District Supervisors receiving the
highest number Of votes throughout the conn
ty will be elected, while others contend
that the person receiving the most votes
IN the district arhere he resides, is The one
who will he declared elected. For instance:
the former claim that should the two cam
didates running in this district each get
more votes than any other CT the candi-
dates in other districts, then we would
have two supervisors here and some other
district none at ALL On the other hand
it is claimed that the law contemplated,
and in fact says, that there shall be one
supervisor elected IN each district. and
that If the theory first mentioned be cor
rect this provision of the law cannot in all
cases be carried out; for it must necessa-
rily happen in some counties that the low
est candidate viii get more votes in Lis
district than the highest candidate in some
ether district. There is much confusion
going to arise out Of the matter just be-
cause the law is bunglingly drawn and ev-
identity don't mean what it says, Or don't
say what 1t means. It will be fine nut
for the lawyers to crack.

Our OF THE PLAY.-The law passed
by the Legislature last winter creating the
office of County Superintendent Of Schools
provided that the School Beard of incor-
porated cities and villages might select
whether they would, or would not, be ex-
empt from the operation Of the law, and
continue the system they were then act
ing under The School Board of this CT
ty accordingly held meeting at the prop
Ell time and resolved that they would act
independently of the county at large and
go On as they had been doing. Water
town therefore has re voice in the cleo
lion of the County Superintendent, nor
has she anything to do with the payment
of his salary.

TO ascertain for certainty. 1t was a very
dangerous job and it required men of the
right stamp to do it. So two hundred of the
Sd were sent out. We started in the morn
ing without anything to eat, as we expected
to get back by noon. Suffice it to say that
We never got back till night, and for over six
hours not loud word was spoken by man.
Some Of the time We crawled sometimes walk
ed; sometimes We lay down, and again every
man had his gun ready to fire in an instant.
Our object Was accomplished without an ac-
cldent, and for all We were most starved and
so tired we could hardly 80, not a murmur
was heard.
Now as to what YOU had better send US,
The Caledonlan tells You perhaps as well as
can. Blankets We must have or suffer; al
so under shirts and drawers. Mittens or
gloves are Indispensable Boots are needed ::
not great heavy cowhides, as they soon get
hard and stiff, and we have nothing to grease
them with. Heavy calf-skin or light kip
boots are about the thing. The solcs can lie
as thick and heavy as YOU have a mind. |
do not think of any more particulars to write ;
indeed | have already written more than
wanted to.
