Destitution In Prince George County,

Press Dispatchl
New YORK. July 1.-The Trbune's
Washington special says: A private let
ter was received to-day from an old in
habitant of Prince George county, Vir-
ginia. states that the people are in a
great state of destitution and are gener-
ally lnable to properly cultivate their
plantations owing to lack of draft ami
mails.

coin. The subscriptions have been fixed
at two centum or two cents each.
The Herald's special says: The Presi-
ident's health is somewhat improved to-
day, but he is not yet we'll enough to at
tend to Cabinet meetings. Consequent
ly none have been held this week. He
partially resumed attention to business
to day, and signed a few of the large
number of papers requiring his sigma
ture, which have been accommodating dur.
ing his illness. The principal cause OF
his sickness is his incessant attention to
business, he having, as is understood,
been out of the executive mansion but
twice since taking up his residence here,
1t has been his habit to devote all the
time from eight o'clock in the morning
to ten o'clock at night, to the onerouss
duties of his office. His family and
friends have been urging him to remove
to the Soldiers Home for time, but
thus far have been unable to induce him
to do so. Unless he can be persuaded to
alter bis present arrangements, it is
feared that his illness may become pro-
tractedland serious.

Faaquier County, Va.

porary residence until the great house"
can be rebuilt and former comforts col
lected around them. The negroes are
very quiet and very earnest In their de-
sire to earn something to live upon. and
in Orange they can be hired for their
food and quarters; but this does not per-
tain to Culpepper and Fauquier, where
labor is scarce and in demand, as nearly
all negroes-men, women and chill
dren-left their comfortable homes early
in the war to better their condition in
the crowded streets of Washington and
Alexandria, The supply, however. will
be equal, and, perhaps, more than equal
to the demand, when the farmers are
once more prepared to cultivate their
lands but Just now there is feeling OF
oppressive uncertainty hanging over
them, and until courts are established,
sheriffs, magistrates, surveyors, commits
sioners, etc, are appointed, this feeling
will prevail, and tend very much to re-
tard the development of the ag icultural
interests of the country, and of that de-
sire to do their duty as good and loyal
citizens, which is now the sincere and
hearty wish Of nine-tenths of the people
of Virginia, since the terrible struggle is
over, and which has bren decided finally
against them. They need nearly every
article necessary to successful cultlva-
ton of their estates-7and with but very
Limited means for purchasing them, no
credit, and new system OF labor TO con-
tend with, the problem of success seems
to be one of difficult solution but, with
industry, skill, and integrity, the rich
soil will soon supply their wants, and in
a few years one will scarcely be able to
recognize this as the classic battle-ground
of the two celebrated armies of the Pc
tomac and Northern Virginia.

A Good Chance for Women to Make
Money and Get Musbands.

Money and Get Husbands.
There is great lack of women in the
new mining territories of the far West.
Nearly the entire population of Nevada
and Colorado are of the male sex, and
now that they have got houses and
cities, and wealth of silver and gold,
they are anxious beyond measure for
the society and help of women. Neither
wives nor servants can be had, though
both have unequalled opportunities.
The Rocky Mountain Netrs, of the 14th
instant, is very plaintive on the subject,
and is also practical. 1t declares that
women will find in that country the
"Utopia of their dreams." If husbands
are desired, they can be had at leisure;
and if they wish to engage in house.
hold employment, they can quickly
acquire fortune. In the populous Ter
ritory of Colorado, we are told, there
is scarce one woman where six could
and would be protitably employed If
they could be obtained. Wages here
for common household duties are from
$50 to $50 per month, including board.
This makes wages, at the present rates
of boarding, from eighty to one hundred
dollars per month" aa
lneSe Immense wages, II lluSL De
remembered, are payable in gold. The
Rocky Mountain editor further thinks
that '!were the population something
near evenly divided in relation to sex
many of those who have no fixed resi-
dence amongus, but are always coming
and going, would contract matrimonial
alliances, and make Colorado their per-
manent homes. We want more perma-
nency to society; and thus do awaywith
that everlasting nevor 5fa ding saluta-
ton of when are you going to the
States?'"
The men out there, too, are not only
rich, but are otherwise desirable. "The
young men who come to this country to
develop its resources and make their
fortunes, are composed of the best en-
ergy and enterprise of the United
States; and if corresponding numbers
of the opposite sex, of equal ability,
could be induced to emigrate from
those sections where there is already n
surplus of female population, an adj
vantage would accrue to all parties, and
Colorado would secure permancnce OF
settlement that is much needed. We
have Il beautiful country, healthy eli
mate and wealth untold.
