LETTER FROM LoUDoUN COUNTY.

correspondence of the Alexandra VazetJel
LEEsBURG, Va, August 26, lS65.-There is
very little news of interest in our county. Such
as there is jot down for you, and hope, as
intercourse is more freely opened, by the repair
of roads, with other parts of the county, to
make any letters may be able to write more
interesting The great concourse OF August
Court, when more people assembled at Lees
burg than probably at any other Court within my
recollection, passed off quietly. A great deal
of business was transacted in Court; the JUS
tices were classified, commissioners of election
appointed, the Court House ordered to be re-
paired, Notaries Public qualified, roads ordered
to be worked, and divers and sundry other
Court. The appropriation for repair of roads
was fixed at one-half that made for 1860, and
the most important roads ordered to be worked.
To give you some more definite idea [ state
that executors, administrators guardians and
committees were allowed to qualify in sixty
three cases, in the following sums, namely =
Bonds to the number of thirty four were given
under SIC, 900, in II cases between $40, 900 and
$40 900, in 7 cases from 500, 900 to $50, 900, in
one case each bond was 40, 900, $4,000, $685.
900, $50, 900, and $l25, 900, respectively. The
estates are estimated at one-half the bond, so
that the largest estate was estimated at $685.
900; it was that of the late Charles Williams,
who resided near the Point of Rocks in the
beautiful Potomac Valley. The other large
estates were those of R. L. Wright John
Smith, Anne Dillon and W. T, {. Mason.
The internal revenue tax estimate roughly
at $4,000 Henry G.. Smith qualified as dep
uty Sheriff in the Middleburg district in the
place DR.. W. f. Luckett, who, Lave heard,
prefers to practice his profession Our wheat
crop was Indifferent, oats very good 1.-THE price
here As cents; corn will yield uncommonly, and
the hay crop, for quality and quantity, is the
best perhaps ever raised In the county.
Some officers connected with the Freedmen S
Bureau, are taking census of that class OF
our people, inquiring into their condition,
wages, &c. Many changes have occurred by
the leaving of servants, and our ladies have
had hard time in cooking and washing this
summer, but they have gone to work In the
spirit of Virginia women, and now can
challenge comparison with the ladies of any
other part of the country in all household du-
ties. G. F. Fadeley has sold his farm at
the toll gate, west OF and distant one mile from

The war between Brazil and Paraguay has
taken a singular turn. The army of General
Urquiza, Brazil's most efficient ally, has
deserted him, and the Paraguayans seem
destined for season to overrun almost with
out resistance the Argentine Provinces
Troops are collecting from various quarters
to meet the forces of Paraguay, but it does
not seem that much dependence is to be placed
upon them, and the Brazilian soldiers have
suffered greatly from sickness, owing to the
change from the farinaceous diet of Brazil to
the meat diet of the Pampas. The Emperor
of Brazil was to leave at once for the seat OF
war, and new evies were in process OF organi-
zation
The whole liabilities, assets, loans, &c.,
which belong to the Ketchum defalcation, are
nearly as follows. Liabilities of Morris Ketch-
um & Co., and Charles Graham & Co., includ-
ing the redeemed checks held by the latter, six
millions seven hundred thousand dollars.
Amount of assets of both houses, about three
and quarter million dollars Deducting the
value of the forged checks held by Mr.. Graham,
the total present liabilities OF both houses are
i've millions three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. The extent Of the abstraction of bonds
and the forgery of gold paper by young
ketchum was, according to these figures four
millions two hundred thousand dollars.
