BY WESLEY BRADSHAW.

Even war has its comic as well as its
tragic phases, and that which has just
been Waged between the two sections of
our own country furnishes many of both.
The incident we are about to relate, we
were assured by a gentleman who made
his escape from the South actually hap
pened in GOrdonsville, Virginia, and
came under his own observation.
GortlOnsville, besides being rankly Sc
cession, has obtained, during the course
of the war, much celebrity as one of the
strongest strategic points of jeff. DAVIS
line Of defense. Like every other town
throughout tho South, it also contained
Unionists, who, of course, were "spot-
ted" and continuallyin danger.
In this prescribed class OF Gordons-
Vile was Mrs. Agnes Belmont, a fine,
noble looking lady, of great beauty, and
possessed also of the most unf1inching
courage and determination. When the
firstconflict seriously threatened to break
out, this peerless daughter OF the Old
Dominion-(she was born in Wheeling,
Va. purchased the best materials she
could obtain, and from them constructed
abeautifuls national flag, which, upon
completion, she Immediately raised upon
her house-top with her own hands. This

quested her husband, Lawrence Bel

to do it.

Ho,v to Pick Wnort1eberyies.

When first knew Mr.. John Horley, he
was an old white haired man, and very
rich. AS heseemed neverto have been in
any greatbusiness, such as merchantsand
SPECTATORS now engage in, and as he
was never accused Of being a dishonest
man, it was alwaysa mystery to me how
he came to be rich. | knew that his
father was a poor country clergy
and that John could have received no
property from him. Meeting my friend
one day, when our conversation happen
ed to turn on the subject of gathering
property,'I ventured to ask him how 1t
was that he had been so successful in
life.
"When / was boy said he, my
father was a poor minister. We lived
very plain and dressed very plain, but
that never troubled us. We always had
enough of something to eat, and my
mother was one who would cOntrive to
have her children dressed neatly if not
richly. One day when I was a little fell

on their way to pick whortleberries.-

just as she did so, a shouting and the
rolling of the drums announced that the
expected arrival ofthe Confederate troops
had taken place. AS these sounds broke
upon her ear, Mrs. Belmont hurried into

a conspicuous place upon the handsome

CINCINNATI AND FORT WAYNE
RAILROAD.

Messrs. McKew, Scott, Nef and
kizer returned from a visit to Rich
mond and Cincinnati in connection
with the building OF the Cincinnati
and Fort Wayne railroad. They
found the best OF feeling in both
places in regard to its early compile
ton. A committee was appointed
to meet the committee appointed a,
the Merchants Exchange, in Cincin-
natl, ON the 10th of May. The as
surance was given that a hundred
thousand dollars could be raised in
Richmond, in one week, for the build
ing of the road. We hope the people
of Randolph will now begin to dis
cuss the amounts they will give, upon
the basis we Experimentation
stock-remepbering that nothing is
TO be paid till the road is completed
to this point.

The price of labor is falling, and
railroad companies are now paying
one sixth or one seventh less for
hands, with prospect of further
decline. The price OF labor will
materially decrease as soon as the
present harvest has been gathered.
Commodities of all kinds have de-
creased in price, and labor alone has
retained the high figures which the
scarcity Of hands produced. The
cause for this scarcity has about
passed away, and soon labor must
come down to correspond with the
price Of manufactured articles and
the productions of the soil. Farm.
ers complain that they are compelled
10 pay the old exorbitant prices tc
laboring hands, while they realize
about one half for the productions ol
the farm, and these complaints are
founded in truth; it is n matter that
they can not control, as corporations
and manufacturing establishments
regulate and control tie price paid
scr labor.

TAX FOR CEMETERIES.

The storm on last Sunday blew q
tree across the cemetery fence. We
do not know whose business it is to
look after such matters. We think
there ought to be Trustees elected,
whose duty it should be to see TO
such things. We hope the next
Legislature will authorize the levy OF
a tax to buy land, fence, and keep in
order, all cemeteries. 1t would re-
quire but a small pittance from each
one to do this. Let the amount nee
essary to be levied be reported by
the Cemetery Trustees to the Board
doing county business, and that
body levy the tax for the same.
This would be right, rs all are inter
ested. We should have pride in
caring for the honored dead.

We are anxious TO see the largest
crowd of people here on the 4th that
has ever becu in Winchester. The
occasion is one Of great interest
and we feel that it should be made 9
day Of general rejoieing-a day foI
mutual congratulation. No such
day has ever dawned on the Ameri-
can people. The day will be doubly
dear to all patriots who have con.
tribnted physical or pecuniary aid
10 the Government. 1t will be the
celebration Of two important epochs
in the history of this Government,
and will unite the spirit Of 1776 with
its great reimbursement in terrible
war OF four years, from 1851 to 1865.
Besides il is 10 be grand welcome
to our returning brave soldiers.
They are to have grand reception
here by the people. Then let every
soldier come, and we ask that the
people all be present to welcome
them, for we are expecting it to be
one OF the grandest days ever at
Winchester.
