A BRACE OF scANps.-Yesterday morning abo ut
II or 70 o'clock, Moses Clements, freedman, in
tho employ Of Messrs. HOPKINS, MCPHERSON &
Co., was going down to tho wharf, on business,
whom his attention was attracted by two colorcd
youths disciples Of old FAGIN, doubtless) follow
ing gentleman, and making various strategic
moves and man1uvres, with view to transfer q
elk pocket handkerchief from said gentlemans
pocket to their own. colored boy WAS watching
their proceedings, and demonstrated with them,
when they struck his hat off his head, and COM
menced beating him.
At this stRge Moses came up, and interfered,
saying, ut is a shame in you two follows to beat
this boy So" "What you got do wild it ?" was the
reply, and this angry retort was enforced by a
brickbat from each Of the two would-be pickpock-
cts. One of the missiles struck Moses on the
occiput, the other the forehead, inflicting two
ugly wounds. By this time the police had come up,
and arrested all parties. DR.. 8. LOGAN WAS called
in, and promptly dressed the wounds. It is not
thought that the injury is serious, unless some un.
foreseen complication arise.
The two infractors Of the peace are named Ste
phen Brown and Adam Singleton,-both following
thieving as profession, and we'll known to the
police. Two ladies, residing in Broad-street see-
ing these worthless on their way to the Guard
House, joined the procession, and informed Lieut..
CAMPBELL, the officer Of the day, that they had
been robbed recently Of sundry articles Of cloth
ing, etc.. and that they identified the prisoners as
the thieves

Of course. The jury, composed OF many
Of the most prominent citizens IN the
county, was highly complimented by the
Judge before its discharge, for 1t had dis-
patched many and very important cases.
The wheat crop in many portions OF the
county looks exceedingly promising
especially in the neighborhood bordering
Birch creek, considering the fact that SC
much was destroyed by the freeze and rains
referred TO in my last, of March LIST. an
afraid that in that letter even under-estl

beds look promising, and large crop o

they will do so. J.,
The fence law was brought before the

From a Correspondent.

THE STATE OF THE CROPS-GO0D ORDER ON
COURT DAY-THE NEW JUDGE OF THE ST.
pREME COURT-THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF
THE HUNTING AND FENCE LAWS To BE
TESTED.
Ny ride to Charlottesville and back to
Richmond was taken altogether in the
right time. / left the city of Richmond
between I and 8 o'clock in the evening,
and arrived at Charlottesville at 2 o'clock,
A. NJ, on Sunday last. The weather was
pleasant, and, as it was court day, met a
large number Of my old friends. As has
always been the custom in Virginia, there
was a large turnout, and it is evident that
Albemarle is still great county, with a
fine population. To witness one of these
gatherings was great treat to me.
From six hundred to one thousand
persons were present on the court green,
saluting each other and discussing their
farming operations and the state OF the
country generally. No unpleasant con-
troversy occurred during the day, nor did
see a single drunken man. Between 3
and O'Clock, p. NJ, the whole assemblage
left for their respective homes. / learned
from the farmers that the wheat crop pro-
missed to be very light; also, that an i'm
mense crop Of corn had been planted-per.
haps the largest ever planted in that
county; also, that large breadth Of oats
had been sown, but that they promised
badly.
A large amount Of property, such as
horses, cattle, wagons, and buggies, was
sold at auction. The cattle sold low, and
the horses did not bring very high prices.
. The fitness Of the newly appointed Judge
0f the Supreme Court Of Appeals was
freely discussed by his countymen, and
there seemed to be wide difference Of
opinion. All agreed, however, that Mr..
Rives was conscientious and honorable
gentleman.
The County Court was in session about
ave hours, and seemed to be rapidly dis
posing Of the ordinary business Of the
monthly courts.

"Why does a razor cut better for being
dipped in hot watcr?' The edges ofall tools,
instead of being perfectly smooth, are re-
ally toothcd like saw, and when the razor
is dipped in hot water it causes these little
teeth to expand, thus rendering the dis
lance between them smaller, and conSc-
quently giving the razor smoother edge.
Exchange.
Bosh! AS if the expansion would not
be equal in every direction, and the teeth
become larger and longer. 1t was once
said of a judge that he rendered excellent
decisions but gave extremely bad reasons
for them. So ofthe above; the razor cuts
better for being dipped in hot water, but
not for the reason stated.

THE ELECTIONS-CoTTON-L OF DR..
SAMSON AND COLONEL FARRAR-HUGH r.
PEASANTS.
PETERSBURG, May 8, 1866.
fit had not been so late last night before
the ballots were counted, and that the telc-
graph office was closed, should have com
municated the result of yesterdays cleo
ton. After an active canvass, reminding
one OF similar scenes anterior to the war,
the Hon. Charles +. Collier was chosen
Mayor, by majority of l24, over Mr.. bod
son. The whole number of votes cast for
the three candidates was | ,425. The strug-
gle for the other Offices excited less inte-
rest, not more than from eleven to twelve
hundred votes being given in. Most OF the
old officers were reelected.
For the House of Delegates, to supply
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
Of Judge Joynes, there was no opposition
to A. NJ. Kelley, Esq. Mr.. Kelley has been
in the Legislature before, and was also in
the Confederate army. He is one of the
most promising young men in Virginia, and
would be credit to any constituency III
the State.
/ have said nothing recently in relation
to business matters. Everything continues
dull in the extreme. The highest price
paid for cotton at the close of last week
was from thirty and half to thirty -one
cents for strictly prime.
On Saturday and Monday nights we had
two lectures from DR.. Samson-the one on
the Land of Goshen, and the other on the
Desert of Sinai-which were given for the
benefit of the First Baptist Church. They
were well attended, and gave great salts
faction to the audiences on each occasion.
Tonight, Colonel Farrar, of Amelia, de-
livers his lecture on "Johnnie Rcb, or the
Confederate" Those who have heard it
elsewhere speak of it as Astounding in
humor. From hence Colonel Farrar goes
to Richmond, where he will repeat it on
Friday evening, and thence to Baltimore.
/ had the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Hugh
Peasants to-day, who has come for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
repetition of his lecture lately delivered
in Richmond. He will modify it so as to
give it a more general interest by including
in his sketches several of the men of the
Southside who rose to eminence at the
time of which it treats. The title will be
changed to "Virginia Forty-odd Years
Ago" He has it in contemplation to pre-
pare series of lectures illustrating the
same period, one Of which will be on the
Virginia Convention of 1929 '30-the most
illustrious body of men that ever sat in de-
liberation in America. SNowDEN.

WAsmNaToN, May I, 1866.

srRccrIoN REPoRr---NR. INGERsoLL's IT,
RADR..
WASHINGTON, May I, 1866.
Il was intimated in letter to the Dis
patch shortly after the conflict Of opinion
with reference to the proclamation OF
peace originated, that another proclama-
ton would be issued which would settle
beyond doubt the fact that the first
named manifesto restored civil law in the
South. The statement was made by your
correspondent upon authority known to be
reliable, and although there has as yet
been no Executive emanation stating in so
many words that such was the intent of
the peace proclamation, yet the evidences
have not been wanting that such was its
meaning. In addition 10 these, however,
il Is expected that the forthcoming decla-
ratory document will not be long delayed.
Although the expectant Senator'S from
Colorado express the belief that the Presi-
dent will sign the bill which has passed
Congress for the admission of that territory,
yet the general impression is gaining
ground that the measure will certainly be
vetoed. 1t is stated that had the Presi-
dent designed signing the bill he would
have done so ere this. 1t has, however,
only been in his possession since Saturday
Insufficiency of population will be the
main ground for the Executive objection.
The House will discuss the reconstrnc-
tion report tomorrow during the day, and
the tariff bill at night. Great interest is
manifested to know what Stevens--who
declares himself liberal of late-will have
to say on the subject. He is still regarded
as the leading spirit of the House, and
rules the Radicals with the same degree OF
imperiousness as in the beginning of the
session.
Mr.. Ingersoll, Of Illinois, who abused the
President so heartily in the Saturdays
debate, is very indignant at the various
reflections which have been made regard
ing his speech. The gentleman evidently
considers it entitled to high place in the
roll Of merit, which is decidedly more than
the generality of its readers or hearers are
e TMnE
