THE Losses OF VIRGINIA. Rich
mond correspondent, of the New York
Herald, has been informed by gentleman,
whose connection with public affairs in
Virginia for the last thirty five years has
enabled him to form pretty correct es-
innate Of the condition of the State, that
the aggregate loss Of Virginia by the war,
including the loss in slaves; &C., is five
hundred millions, besides the loss Of one
third of her territory, which in now com
prised in West Virginia. She lost by the
Confederate government. in cash loaned,
fifteen millions, including four millions,
the amount Of her school fund, which she
had been zealously guarding and treasur-
ing up for years. She paid all her own
soldiers upto the 1st of July, 1861, and
advanced to the Confederate government
out of her funds, raised by taxation in
1860, every available dollar she could COM
mand. Il would indeed have been a
short war if Virginia had kept aloof from
it. She had at one time in field a force of
one hundred and thirty-nine thousand
men, of which at least fifty thousand had
fallen in battle, or died from other causes
1t will thus be perceived that the Old Do
minion suffered her share in the war.

Getting back into the Union.

This is nearly as hard work as getting
out, and the amount of Swearing" re-
quired to get QUIT only surpassed by what
we have to do to get in again. The ex-
perience Of loarnedbut eccentric Divine,
from Petersburg, in the retreat from that
city, gives pretty good idea of our trou-
bles and trials in getting back. The Rev.
gentleman, itseems, escaped from the doom
ed city after our troops and met with many
an incident by "blood and field" on the
retreat to Appomatox G. II. There he
thanked" again, determined not to take
the oath if possible. By this time he
had been reduced to an old Virginia gig
and very small, stubborn, army mule, as
mode of conveyance. Driving along, a
back road to Lynchburg, he stopped oppo-
site farmer, leaning on his fence. He
wished to know if the yankees we're re-
curing citizens to take the oath in Lynch
burg. If they were, he intended to flank
and get to Lexington by land; if not he
expected to desert "gig and mule and
take the Canal to Lexington. Says he,
to the Farmer, ''Friend, does man have
any swearing to dowhen hegets to Lynch
burg ?" The old farmer looked at the
Rev. gentleman, looked at the ancient gig
looked seriously at stubborn army mule,
andsaid !: II reckon you won't have any to
do achen you get to Lynchburg, but, ifyou
drive that ar mule you'll do power O Gus
sin on the road" The Rev gentleman
got through to Lynchburg- how, our in
formant declines to say, but he didn't do
any swearing in Lynchburg. May our
troubles, in getting back into the Union,
end the same way.

The WHEAT CROP OF TIE SnENAN-
DoAH VALLEY-The IIarper's Ferry cor
respondent of the New York Herald
gives highly gratifying account of the
condition Of the wheat crop Of the Shenan-
doah Valley. He writes: ''ln dctour
of some three thousand miles, moro or
less, through Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky Northern
Alabama, Georgia, South and Northern
and Virginia, we have seen nothing that
begins to approach this ripening wheat
crop of Shenandoah Valley. Elsewhere,
what arc accepted as splendid wheat fields
are mere child's play, compared with the
truly glorious fields Of the Shenandoah
Valley For enc hundred and thirty miles,
with some gaps between Newtown and
Winchester, these wheat fields, on the
right and left, before and behind us. close
by and miles and miles away, in theplains
and the valleys, along the hills and spread
ing over the hill tops, are constantly IN
sight, in hundreds OF thousands Of acres.
And as the gentle winds pass over these
gogeous fields Of grain, they roll aud
shine in the sun like the silvery wave ola
summer sea. This wheat stands, as high
as the eight-rowed Indian corn when full
grown in Northern New York, and it is
set SO thickly in the soil that one would
think stfaw hat might be carried by the
wind on the heads of grain as on the
swell of wave. across a hundred acre
field. These valley farmers are Of course
epraptured over the prospect Of an unpre-
cedented harvest; but still they qualify
their calculations with such ramarks as
Well if the rust does not come If the
hail does not beat it down. or IF no new
, insects get into it we shall
have a great crop That field one
would say, ought to give thirty bushels
to the acre and another would think
they will be pretty extensive crop in my
county of twenty five bushels to theacre. :"
