MATTERS AND THINGS IN CAROLINE
BOWLING GREEN, CAROLINE CouNTY,l
October 10, 1865.

BOWLING GREEN, CAROLINE CouNTY,l
October ID, 1865.
To the Editor Of the Wing
Before the war no village in Eastern Virginia
was thriftier or more prosperous than the county
seat of Caroline. Its mechanical establishments
gave employment to a large number of skilled
workmen, and its well filed stores were proftsbly
patronzed by tie rich country which surrounded
il Blu five gears of war and military occupation
have sadly changed its appearance and the effects
of the suspension of the annual visits Of the car
usnter the painter and the Whitewater TO its pr
vate dwellings during all this period, cannot fail
10 attract the notice of any one who knew 1t and
its people in other and better days Nevertheless,
true to their Virginia character, its citizens To-
stead of mourning over what they have lost, are
busily engaged in trying TO repair thaiC fortunes
and lay up a competency for the future. As
consequence, we were not asionished t)'fnd that
the merchants had resumed trade and that the
hotels had been repaired and ready, os of yore,
to dispense Inequalities, and could only indulge
the hope that the October Court Of the coming
wear will find the Green" as busy and as pros
porous as if it had never felt the effects of war,
military occupation and martial law.
Yesterday was court-day, and, as usual,
throng of people from all quarters were attracted
thither-some on business, and Others to talk pol
itics and hear the news. Strange to say, no can
didate for Legislative honors, either National or
State, addressed the dear people.
We, however, became convinced that Mr.. Wyatt,
the presiding justice Of the county, will be elect
ed TO the House Of Delegates. He teld no office,
civil or military, during the war, except the ma
gisterial position he now so wOrthily ILLS.
Until Mr. Mayo made statement, in recent
discussion that he could not take the test oath,
his chances for obtaining the vote of Caroline for
Congress were regarded rs excellent. Since then
Mr. Gusts, Of Accomac, who up to that time had
no supporters has daily gained strength, and will
get good vote
Those of Mr.. Christians friends who adhere to
him say that, although he cannot take the oath,
be has assurances from prominent parties st
Washington that if elected he will be permitted
to take his seat We leard little of Mr. Douglass,
who, prior to the war, would have distanced the
field in q Congressional race.
There seemed to be general disposition on the part
of everybody to accept the situation as it Is and
to do anything that Virginians can honorably do
TO restore the Commonwealth TO its time position
among the States Of the American Union.
Farmers have been blessed with an abundant
crop of corn, and are anxious TO ascertain its
probable market price. For this information we
referred them TO your commercial column. We
will send you all the election returns from this
section as rapidly as we can collect them. G.

Forney's Washington organ gave notice this
morning, in Mandatory article upon Governor
Morton's late speech, which it reproduces nearly
entire, that it had finally discovered which way
the popular mind was tending regarding the
question of negro suffrage. In withdrawing his
support from universal suffrage his EXceency is
styled "a close observer OF passing events who
has weighed we'll all the knotty interrog ltories
rebellious States, the abolition Of slavery, and
particularly those regarding negro suffrage. and
that his argument is uaanswerable upon the lat
ter question"
