letter from Richmond cor.

RIcHNoND.-A letter from a Richmond cor
respondent of the Boston Herald says:
"April s, 1865, when the rebel forces evacu-
ated the city, the public buildings and stores
were fired, and about II 900 houses destroyed.
This melancholy disaster, as it then seemed,
has in reality been q blessing. The burnt dis
trict has already been nearly covered with
elegant new buildings, which will compare
favorably with those on Washington street,
Boston. The stores are filled with the largest
and very best stocks of goods that this. coun-
try and Europe afford Some of the merchants
import direct from Europe merchandise ma
nufactured to their order. The money mar
ket is stringent and business is dull, but there
is nothing that indicates an immediate bank
ruptcy Of the Richmond merchants. The arti-
Gle which appeared in the New York papers a
few days since, intimating a general financial
crisis or monetary CONFUSION among the busi-
ness men here, caused momentary hutter
but not the least injury. 1t has really bene-
flied the merchant, because it has shown that
he could stand the fire. Such was undoubt-
edly the design of the correspondent. The
enormous quantity of goods shipped in New
York on board the five steamers OF the 'Old
Dominion line, which make their regular
trips between that port and Richmond, indi-
Gates that southern merchants have either
plenty of money or plenty of credit. There is
splendid future for Richmond.

LOCAL MATTERS.

The CASE OF WArKISs's SrRETIEs-JUDeR
MERRDITH RBFUsEs 70 QUAsH THE ExBcC-
TIoNs.-The argument in the case Of the Com
monwealth Us. 9. W. Watkins and others was
concluded before Judge Meredith on Satur-
day. The action was brought by the Com
monwealth against G. W. Watkins, sergeant
Of the town of Danville, and James M.
Walker, w. W. Keen, &C., his sureties, for
the payment Of taxes collected by said Wat
kins as sergeant aforesaid. On this action
judgment and execution were obtained, and
placed in the hands Of Charles S. Powell,
sheriff of Pittsylvania county, for collection.
On the l4th January, 1867, Powell proceeded
to levy on property belonging to the sureties
OF Watkins, and on the 10Th of the same
month the Attorney General ordered the
tions. On the same day-that is to say, 10th
January, 1s67-William E. Taylor, Auditor OF
the State of Virginia, ordered the sheriff to
stay proceedings for sixty days. On the I'D OF
February, 1867, the Legislature OF Virginia
passed an act relieving the parties from all
damages on condition that they pay the debts
and cost by first day of August, 1867. The
debt nor any part thereof being paid, new ex-
ecutions were sued out on the 29th July, 1867,
and placed in the hands of the sheriff of Pitt
sylvania for collection; whereupon the de-
PENDANTS moved his Honor Judge Meredith
to quash the proceedings, upon the grounds,
mainly, that the former ffa having been le-
Wed and not released, the plaintiff is not en-
titled to new Jffd.
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Meredith refused to quash the executions,
giving his reasons for so doing in an able
opinion; which was listened to with deep at
ention by all present. .l.
Hon. Robert johnson appeared for the Com
monwealth, and Messrs. G. W. Reed OF Dan
willie, Charles E. Dabney of Pittsylvania
Courthouse, General Raymond, OQld Car
fington, and Page Maury, of this city, for
the defendants.

such an expression. It may be expected,
therefore, that Yhncn Of the remainder OF the
present week will be required to arrange the
classes, assign the lessons, and to so. perfect
the arrangement IS that they will be thoroughly
understood. After this boys and girls will be
entirely reconeiled to the autunnal session,
and such as appreciate the benefits of q good
education will no doubt enter into the work
with hearty good will.
Where there are so many from which to
select, parents and guardians viii have no
difficulty in placing their children and wards
where their minds and morals will be pro-
perly cultivated For the past month or six
weeks three or four solid columns of the Dis
patch have been filled with announcements to
the patrons of education. We cannot recall q
period in the history of our city or State when
the facilities for obtaining an education have
been greater--certainly the number of schools
and colleges has never been larger. Among
them may be found those which will compare
with any similar institu tions in the country.
We cordially wish them all possible success,
and trust that with such facilities as are now
afforded. no child in Virginia may be allowed
TO grow up devoid of those nestimable bless
ings which are to be derived from education.

JAMES RIVER AND KAyAwHA CoMPANY.-A
special meeting of the Board of Directors was
held last Saturday at the office of the Presi-
dent. The business, with one exception, was
of an unimportant character, possessing little
or no interest for the general public.
at the special request of MIR. b. L.. Galla.
her, of Waynesboro, Va, the Board agreed
to reduce the toll on dressed stone to the same
rates now charged for stone in the rough.
Mr.. G. has purchased an extensive quarry
some four or five miles above Richmond,
and contemplates embarking largely in the
business of quarrying and dressing stone.
He will employ fifty convicts from the
State penitentiary, and expects also 70 give
employment to other persons. He will es-
tablish line of boats between the quarry
and Richmond, and also line OF vessels
to ply between this city and the State OF Mas.
sachnsetts, where he will find market for all
he can transport. In return he will bring TO
Virginia lime, cement, plaster, etc. The Nir-
einia granite is pronounced by men OF expe-
rience and Judgment equal TO any in the world;
n fact which is demons trated beyond dispute
in the specimens which adorn the Virginia
Washington Monument. MIR. Gallaher's en-
terprise win give employment TO much Virgi-
mia labor and increase no little the tolls OF the
James River and kanawha canal. Success to

Our HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY We are
pleased 10 learn from various sections OF the
State that the people of the country are busily
engaged in pre- pairing for the approaching e1-
hibition, and will not only exhibit largely
but attend very freely. We have no doubt
that there will be a greater concourse OF peo-
pie from the country at the time OF the exhi-
bition than has occurred before since the ex.
hibitions of the Agricultural Society. IL Is al
the season when the farmer can most easily
be absent from home-when the weather Is
brightest and most beautiful and when every
body wishes TO buy something for the winter !;
the trip will cost so much less than at other
times, and the exhibition will give to it SO
much interest and enjoyment. The location,
beipg.,in the centre Of the city, Is accessible
TO ali without fatigue and being among the
handsomest stores the transition from bust
ness to pleasure is the work only Of moment.
Let our friends from the country come, then
as in the days Of yore, 10 the fair, confident OF
being gratifed in the highest degree by the
display that will be made. There will be much
there 10 crafty every taste, and many things
which few Of the concourse have ever seen
and which they cannot see except at this exhi
hifjnp

'TRB ART PREsERVATIyE OF ALL Arts
There is no denying the truth of the foregoing

but aided and promoted all others. The art has,
too, been greatly improved during the past

The Daughter of an Empress. an Historical No

ToS Co.
| This is the last addition to her numerous
| Mrs. under another name). We have not
| read 1t, but we have not a doubt that 1t is a
highly interesting volume of blended truth
and fiction. Considering Miss MuHtBAcH as an
author Of f1ction-as an author chiefly of fiction
based on history-we do not know whether
| or not we may congratulate her readers. We
know that her works invite persons to read
history; but it is very grave question
whether history is more of romance than Of
| reality. It was a sad event for history-the
Ienore sad for it's truth-when Sir WALTER RA-
LEIGH, beholding from his prison window the
wrangle that followed Immediately upon the
happening Of On event with regard to the ex-
act order of that event, and the very wide
differences of opinion and recollection touch
ing the facts almost at the instant of the
occurrence, became diSgusted with his
tory, and gave up that history of the
| world which he had begun with SO much de-
votion. Miss MUHLBAcH gives us chance for
the truth. She gives US the romance of history,
and by following her, if we do not find the
reality, we at least find that which interests
us very much. Certainly she has directed her
talents to a branch of literature which gives
something more solid for the intellect than the
mere fictions of the day; and in this way she
makes society her debtor. We trust she has
had good portion of the debt paid on ac-
count of the satisfaction we have derived
from her books.

This narrative appears to be frorahe pen Of
an elderly lady, since stes dedicates itLo..
her "dear little grandchildren, nephews,s

occurrences during the terrible war, and the
opinions, feelings, and emo otions Of its author
suggested by them. 1t will excite the warm
sympathies of it's readers; for woman never
speaks from excitement in q cause that she is
not eloquent. This venerable lady will,s we are
sure, have many readers, and they will have
their memories frightened by the sad recol-
lections brought before them in her simple

WATER PowER.-A novel and ingenious
mode of turning the swing-span Of the new
Harlem bridge has been adopted. The bridge
is open to foot passengers, and the pedestrian,
in crossing the span, which is $50 feet IN
length, is Sometimes suddenly startled by find
ing the bridge moving with him without any
visible agency: the turning of tap and the
expenditure of a few gallons of croton water,
without the aid of other power, causes the
span, which weighs several hundred tons, to
open in less than one-half the time the opera
tion can be done by the power of four men
working the ordinary crank. 1tis the device
OF Mr. Charles PonteZ, civil engineer, and
will not only effect considerable pecuniary
saving yearly, but the saving Of time will be
fully appreciated by the public, who have been
subjected to a constant delay by the old me-
thod. The circumference of the circle de-
scribed by the span in an entire revolution is
565 feet; this length can be trarersed in one
and half minutes by this simple expedient.

A CASE THAT DIDN'T CONE BEFORE THE
MAYoR-During the latter part of last week
a negro girl, as usual, went to lady mouse
on Rroad street, and took her clothing to carry
home to wash Among the pieces was very
fine dress. On her way home she stopped at
another house on the same street TO get the
clothing of another lady. She went up stairs,
leaving the basket of clothing in the passage
below. When she came down the basket was
where she had placed it, but the fine dress was
missing She was much distressed, and went TO
the lady and told her that her dress had been
stolen. The lady accompanied her to the
house in which the dress had mysteriously
disappeared, and made inquiries. Suspicion
resting upon dashing young lady boarder,
she accused her Of the theft. This accusation
the young lady. Indignantly repelled, but but
after much questioning, said she knew where
1he dress was, and would see that 1t was re-
turned. The lady returned home, and shortly
after was much rejoiced to receive the dress;
