"MAIN VILLAGE" THAT portion of Prai-
RE du CHEN, known on the town plat as
the "Main village" shows unmistakable
evidence of being the centre OF all the
Railroad and Steamboat business for this
point in the future. One of the largest
and best elevators in the west is located
there, and all grain-shipping will be done
through it. The Ferries between McGre-
gor and Prairie du Chen will land there.
There never will be any obstruction to the
largest Packets at the Upper Levce, and all
the River Freight will be shipped and un-
loaded there.
The new Freight Depot, and Railroad
Offices, now being completed, are extensive
and substantial. The foundation of the
Depot is Of solid mason work, the upper
walls of brick, and the roof slated. A new
Passenger Depot will be built, and other
necessary buildings erected, including a
Raildroad Hotel. All these facilities will
certainly ensure concentration of bust

alone will employ over so workmen during
the next year, making barges, repairing

While we dislike to dwell upon the
unpleasant theme Of the inhuman
treatment Of the people ofo Valley
by tie destruction Of their houses,
barns, subsistence and in many in
stances their all, by the forces Of Sler-
| idan under the 3onnipotent order Of
Grant, yet 50 many have been the
statements ofthe loss Of property in
portions of this County made to US
and many the cases Of individual
hardship consequent thereupon, that
we are again constrained to notice
this subject.
The people Of the United States
claim to be in the fore front Of the
worlds civilization and to possess all
the attributes that make up q great
aud glorious nation, and would fam
possess the worlds applause for al
their deeds, while they hold up to the
scorn Of that same world the acts of
.hoso they are pleased to designate as
Rebels to the best Government the
world ever saw, We have no means
now Of disabusing the minds Of out
side nations OF the false ideas thus
sought to be ilcuicated upon them,
even if we desired to do SO, but We
can build up u mountain Of attested
facts which will stand as an eyerlast-
ing monument Of the malicious inhu-
mainly and wanton barbarity of that
make believe enlightened nation--a
perpetual badge Of is disgrace. We
propose then that our County Court
shall, as the Rockingham County
Court has already done, appoint a
committee whose special duty it shall
be to estimate the damage to the peo-
pie of our county by the incendiarism,
theft and pilIage Of the public enemy,
and report to the Court as fully sue
cinctly and promptly as possible, and
the said report be carefully preserved
among the proceedings Of the Court
to be used when tho future demands
Of History shall require all the minu

cution of this war on the part of our
enemies. The loss Of property, by our
people and the sutftrings Of innocent
children, helpless women and decreplt
age, caused by the uncalled for des-
truction Of their means Of subsistence
demand that record of the out
RACES spoken Of above shall be made
and preserved, and we know of no
means equal to the one suggested of
handing down to coming generations
a statement Of facts SO perfectly In
