FROM FREDERICKSBURG to ORANGE COURT
HOUSE. "A recent hurried ride through the
war scared country from Frederick sburg 10
Orange Court House, gave abundant evidence
that time and labor are speedily removing and
healing the desolations and losses of the battles
which were fought all along the entire distance.
There is mora cultivation and many more
good crops than we had supposed. Houses
have been repaired, fences rebuilt and many
places look better than before the war.-
Charlottesville and Robinson's old tavern are
still desolate and neglected, but the "Wilder-
ness BLOSSOMS like the rose. The view
from the old Wilderness Tavern is beautiful.
"Ellwood' appears to be as thoroughly cult,
vated as in old times, and the wheat fields and
corn fields are as extensive and fourlshlng as
we ever saw them. The geld miners spend
money in this section. Stevens Il Berry seem
ed to be doing thriving business. All along
the road from Verdiersville up there are signs
of life and prospects of improvement
Nothing can be more beautiful than the
country and crops and gardens in aud around
Orange Court House. The wheat is abun-
dant aud magnificent It is a sight to cheer
the heart Of the most despondent to see the
land blooming and almost laughing with de,
light and Joy at its OVID opulence and wealth OF
production -Fredcricksburg Neaos.

COPPERMEAD vILLAINY EXPO

We last week notified our readers that the
Copperhcads Of this county we're more nc,
tive than at any period during the past six
years. We spoke adviscdly, aud again warn
cied security. Ecevy man should be at his
post The Copperheads will leave no stone
unturned TO reduce the Republican MAORI,
~, and il possible elect a portion of their
ticket in this county. They are resorting to
every species Of trickery and misrepresent-
alton to gain their eads. Their latest efforts
in this direction are 20 villa inous, 90 entire

and fairness, 90 uttetly regardless Of the rep

infamy as this.
We have before US secret Circular, sd-
dressed To the Voters Of Buchanan Coun~
ty," and emanating from the Copperhead
Head Quarters in this county. Its object is
to convey to the minds Of the people the i'm.
preston that some Of our large property
holders pay comparatively light taxes; that
the farmers and laboring men, with little
property, pay much larger taxes man the
capitalists in our midst. To accomplish
their purpose, they parade the whole taxes,
both personal and real, Of number Of farm.
ers aud others in different townships, and
ther follow With statementof the person.
al" tax Of certain residents Of thiscity. They
do not compare the personal" lax OF the
different parties, nor do they compare their
total tax, but the whole design IS to leave
the impression that certain comparatively
poor men are paying more taxes than cer>
tain other men Of greater wealth.
The Circular came to US at such late
hour that We can only give brief tables, to
show the utterly reckless character of the
statements Of the Copperhead Circular.
Messrs. Wilcox and Munson being absent
from the city we cannot give the total amount
Of their taxes. We will say, however, that
we are informed Mr.. Wilcox paid total tax,
last year, of over 81, 400.

Of the Circular, and the facts in the case,

place to fears Of failure. But persons in.
