81 At the Court of Hastings, in Richmond
on Monday, an application was made by s. A.
Harris, a colored preacher at the Third street
Methodist Church, in that city, for a license
authorizing him to celebrate the rites of mat
rimony. The motion was resisted by R. T.
Daniel, Esq, Commonwealth Attorney, on
the ground that there was no authority in law
for granting such a license TO a negro-the
Alexandria Legislature having simply de-
granting him the rights OF citizenship The
counsel for the colored preacher cited instances
in which the Henrico Court had granted such
licenses. The Court, however, sustained the
opinion OF the Commonwealth Attorney and
refused to grant the license, there being no law
authorizing them to do so. This matter, SAYS
the Richmond Enquirer, will doubtless be one
OF the first, in connection with the freedmen, to
attract the attention of the coming Legislature.

TIE NKw YORK FIRE AL ARM TKLrep.,n
The New York papers are jubilant over an.
persens mot seoua,ni he warn ,Ss leErsPh and
suppose that IL was something as great as the
boosted greatness Of the great metropolis itself
This is not the case, rs we learn from a New
YORK friend. IL is simply the connection OF
Telegraph wires between the engine houses and
the central office, in that portion OF the CITY
lying south OF 18th street. There are no signal
boxes on the streets. and n an alarm is 20 be
given u must be carried 10 the engine house by
mouth before IL is given from the central sta
ton, and this advantage is only in those por-
tons OF the city where engine houses happen
TO be located south of 18th street. All that por-
ton Of the great metropolis north Of 1sth street.
by far the largest part of the city, is without
the advantage, and the firemen have 20 depend
upon the old exploded system OF watch towers
1t would be well for the Fire Commissioners OF
New York to visit Washington and examine
the telegraph here, before concluding that their
experiment is a telegraph at all.

The Macon Telegraph tells the following sto-
ry of the war:
81 learned on yesterday the circumstances of
melancholy quandry in which young lady,
one of the most estimable and lovely in this
part of the country, was placed. A gallant Of
icer was betrothed to her. He fell on the fatal
field of fSharpsburg. She loved him dearly, and
was afflicted far beyond what ladies of more
buoyant temper would have suffered She
went into mourning, secluded herself from soci-
ETY., devoted herself to religious and charitable
deeds, and was dead to the world" A few
months ago, young gentleman of great wealth,
superior talents, and handsome person, accident
ly formed her acquaintance in the progress of
business transaction. He was fascinated with
her; persevered till he overcame her aversion
little by little, and finally they became engaged
to be married only fortnight ago. She had
already made out her order for an elegant trOus-
seau. But, four days ago, the first lover return
ed. He had been carried to a Northern hospi-
tai from the battlefield, with no hope of life,
and has Just been liberated and returned He
has frightful scar across his face and is poor;
but in his bosom burns manly and noble soul.
The poor girl has shut herself up, and will not
see either of them. The meeting between her
and her first lover, the other day, is said to have
been distressing. His letters had failed to reach
her, and she firmly believed he was dead till he
stood before her, the ghastly ruin of her lover,
once so handsome and manly. Poor fellow J.
have caught glimpse of him once as he pass
ed along the street, with his crutches and mel
anchoIy face. God bless him u 49,

A DARING ROBBERY,

A daring robbery was recently committed in
Reed Township, Seneca county. A couple of
men called at the residence of the Cassidy
brothers, who, being bachelors, reside with
their two sisters in the same house. between
seven and eight o'clock in the evening" and
knocking at the door, said from without that
they had come over to transact some business
with them. One of the brothers opened the
door and the men stepped in and informed the
man at the door that their business with them
was his money or his life, and at the same pre-
sented a pistol at his breast The other broth
er rushed for his gun, bnt was flored with a
club before he obtained it, and while down was
drugged with chlorOform, and tied. The other
brother was knocked down and also tied. Hav-
ing secured the men, one of the scoundrels
proceeded to the rooms of the women, aud
there also rendered them insensible with chlo-
roform. They then tortured the tied brother
until he informed them of the place where they
kept their money. After they had secured
thirteen Thousand four hundred dollars, they
administered chloroform to the other brother
and left the premises, since which time nothing
has ever been heard of them.-SandUSAy Reg

FROM CALIRnRNIA

VIsALIA, TULARE Co., CAL, Oct. 4, 1865.
Hon. r. P. BUCKLAND:
DEAR SIR:-You will hardly expect letter
from me so soon, but my object in writing this
is to give you description as nearly as can
of this valley.
Tulare Valley is bounded east by the Sierra
Nevadas, and on the west by the Coast Range of
mountains, upon the north by the San joaquin,
and south by the San Barnadieno mountains
Seven years ago when l first came into this
valley it was question with some whether it
would ever become good agricultural country.
That question is fully settled and I am now
prepared to state that this valley is second TO
none other for farming purposes. No better
corn, wheat, barley, potatoes and all kinds of
garden vegetables and vines can be produced in
any portion than can be seen at this time in
many parts of Tulare Valley. Coffee, cotton
and tobacco, as an experiment, have been sue
cessfully raised. The question is no longer,
what can be raised but on the contrary what is
there in the line of agricultural productions
that will not do well in this valley. Cattle and
horses will fatten on the grass (Which is boun-
tiful) at any season of the year, and when the
grass is properly cut and cured, it makes the
heaviest and most nutricious hay used. Horse
teams work and keep in good order with no
other feed.
But small portion of these lands are occu-
pied; there is room for several thousand more
farmers to locate and make for themselves good
homes, which, if not at present worth fortune
will be in few years. An opinion concerning
Tulare Valley, l am free to venture, and it is
this, that in few more years we shall see it
vie in prosperity and in Importance with any
part of our golden coast.
1t would not be unreasonable TO expect or
predict that within very few years from the
date of this letter that, Tulare Valley will con-
tain population of fifty Thousand persons
Five years hence the Pacific and Atlantic R. r.
will be completed through portion of this
valley.
am one of the pioneers of California, having
arrived in the Sacramento Valley by overland,
in the month of August, 1856. have had con-
siderable practical experience in different pro-
iects and branches of business, and have ever
felt great pride in being Californian and
identified with her interests, and have looked
forward to the building the Pacific d Allan
tic Road, with painful degree of anxiety, and
for its early completion. But the longer live
the more l am convinced that this great thor
oughfare will yet soon be finished.
But must draw my letter to close, and in
my next shall eHdeavor to give you descrip-
iion of the mines and mineral recourses of this
region of California.
Accept my kind regards, and l remain, -
Your humble and obedient servant

Now that the elections are over, and the dem
Gratis are soundly trashed everywhere, they
might as well drop all humbug, and come out
squarely for the reputation ofthe national debt.
That is the logic of their principles, and the ne
cessity, of their situation. They will come to it
after while, and there's nothing to be gained
by Procrastination.
In. the assurance of strength there is
strenth; and they are the weakest, how
ever strong, who have no faith in them
selves or their powers.
