Farmers are not slow to realize and
appreciate one very important fact,
complain as they may of the high
prices that prevail. They are fully
aware that they can buy farms for
about the same number of dollars
they paid four years ago, and for
greenbacks, while they have two or
three greenbacks, when they had but
one bank bill, at that time And the
farmer who sells, or the man who
purchases a farm, knows that he is

A. H. Stephens, Vice President Of the

true but whether from i'll health, OF

Story OF an Exile.

The Norfolk (Va.) Regime of the 10th,
says that Julius Dewess, native of
Virginia, succeeded in making his es-
cape from Stanton the other day, and
after much wandering, reached Norfolk
on the 18th No form of serYitude, he
says could be so oppressive as the rules
and regulations of the rebel Generals.
Men are conscripted, and robbed and
imprisoned by the tyrants upon the
merest nod of military authority. Union
men are watched by government spies,
and suspected persons are, without trial,
prosecuted. There is much discomfort
among the troops; and the South Caro-
linians are most thoroughly hated by
the men Of all the other States. There
is feeling too, that the North Carolina
troops cannot be trusted with the guar
dianship of that State; and consequent
ly Virginians and Georgians are in the
garrisons Of North Carolina. Mr. Dewess
before leaving Stanton gave 81 G0Oworth
Of Confederate notes for 500 worth of
Greenbacks.
