IL is 10 be feared that the exchange Of Mr. Faux
ner for Mr. Ely will turn ont TO have been serious
I
that Mr.. Faulkner il travelling with tho rebel forces
up the valley, in tue capacity OF director aud guide,
is true Behind tins fact stands the following: Some
thirty years ago, when the Sates Of Virginia, Mary
land. and Ohio we, engaged in warm disputes snd
litigaiions concerning their boundary lines. Mr.
Floyd then Governor OF Virginia appointed c. j.
Faulkner TO make survey Of all that portion Of
Virginia on the Potomac west Of tie Blue Ridge
which was claimed by Lord Fairfax as his grant
from the Crown. Mr.. Faulkner personally made
one Of the most complete surycys ever known on
this continent, and became thoroughly intimate with
every nook and corner Of that entire portion of Viz
GINA through which be is now leading the rebel
army His report have just read IN kcrcbovals
History of the Valley OF Virginia, and it il formi.
dably minute and able. With all Difference to Mr..
Ely il ia 10 be feared we have made a serious mis-
take in tie exchange.
