EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS SHOWING THE CONDITION
OF THE PEOPLE.
Lancaster DistrIct-Will require sc, 900 bushels.
There is not more corn, if all distributed, than G.
nough to do the District longer than the 1st Of
| February or March Our crops, both Of cotton
and corn, have been extremely poor. 1 suppose
not more than one-third Of crop has been made.
Unless our people are assisted from abroad and a
good Providence interposes, do not see how many
are to escape starvation. Those persons IN oul
District who have heretofore been able to assist the
destitute, are now reduced themselves and unable
to do anything in that way.
Chesterfield Dsstrict.-I think it will require at
least TO- 900 bushels of corn to supply the necess
ties of the poor of this District.
Marlboro Dtstr1ct-Crops very short not more
than one-third or one half supply made. 1t is es-
timated that the District will require lOO 900 bush
els to supply the want
Chester bsstrict.-There are about three hun.
dred and forty families, representing twelve hun
dred and fifty persons, large proportion Of whom
are widows, orphans and disabled soldiers who are
under present circumstances, unable to provide tol
themselves. He thinks it will require from 5000
to 10000 bushels to meet their necessities.
Kersha,o.-The Commissioners Of the Poor foI
this District have been applied to for relief by SOC
white persons who furnish certificates of destitu-
ton, and the number of destitute freedmen IS more
than double that of the whites.
Hony.-I believe that it will require not less
than 10000 bushels of corn to supply the District,
5000 of which must be for charitable distribution.
Lerinqton the numerous applications
made to me, know the .destitution to be very
great. In my opinion, it will require not less than
5000 bushels Of Corn to supply the want. Colo
mel Palmer, now resident in this District, among
many certificates, gives the following:

MED by fierce scowl which betrayed the fiery ex.
citability of the young nobleman' temper, ''am

The morrow came and went, and day followed
day, vet Lord Ruthven was still in Williamsburg.
First, the obstacle was the difficulty Of finding a
homewad bound ship, then some other barrier,
then again another. Meanwhile, the young man
had visited Honoria, a ceremony then regarded as
incumbent on gentleman under the especial cir,
cumstances; had registered an oath to 60 no more
had &c again-had finally conceived passion,
ate love for the young lady, and abandoned all
thought of leaving Williamsburg. -.-. -:
Lord Ruthyen was generally pale, but during
these days which our narrative has now reached,
his countenance was like that of ghost. He
rarely engaged in conversation with any one, had
strange way Of looking over his shoulder, and
remained at times, for hours in his chamber, mo.
tionless and in trance as it were. .-...
At such times Fergus said nothing to him, and
indeed their conversation always was confined to
business matters. The clothes had been coolly
unpaeked and re-arranged, without word Of re-
monstrance and the old servant maintained his all
of impenetrable reserve. AT intervals Lord Ruth
yens eye would encounter that Of Fergus, with
gloomy meaning in its expression, but no words
were uttered The old clansman bowed with 81
lent obedience to his chief.
Such were the events which had connected Lore
Ruthven with Honoria.

an account Of how he was caught at the

cent notice of Nathaniel Fullerton, ESQ.,,

press everywhere throughout the coun-
try, and it has brought out letter from
banker In Connecticut, who has writ
ten to Mr.. Fullerton for his autograph,
aud who is just ten years younger than
Mr.. F., and who may very reasonably
have supposed himself the oldest active
banker in the country, till he saw the
