L0UpUUE COUNTY, OctO0cr 20, 1867.
The election passed OF quietly, giving Il
sufficient Conservative majority TO rescue
the good Old county from the Od!um OF Radl-
cal Representations and this was effected
despite the almost unanimous Radical vote
given by the negroes and the large Quaker
and German element in the upper part Of
the county. Here, as elsewhere, the ne
grocs were banded together by the oathS
o: a secret society, which they dared not
violate. They have ranged themselves on
the side Of our enemies, and deep lndIsna-
ton has taken place OF the kind feeling
with which they have hitherto been re-
garded 10y the whites.
Our people are watching with interest
the efforts made 10 construct branch OF
the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire
railroad to Adic. This, the finest grain
growing and grazing country in the State,
lahors under the Disadvantage OF want OF
facilities for transportation. On this ac-
count, while capitalists are investing III
much less desirable portions OF the coun-
try, our fertile fields and rich pasture
lands fail 10 find purchasers.
The very large dcpUtat!ors from Wash
lugton and Georgetown to the meeting
held III LceSbuCg last Monday gives promise
OF success TO the scheme. L.

a Geological wonder.
J H..

On the north bank OF Buffalo creek, one
of the tributaries Of the Rivanna river,
there is large sandstone rock, which seems
to have been detached from high cliff
hard by. On this rock there are five dis
tinct and perfect impressions Of child's
feet There are, besides, other impress
sions not so distinct, one Of which is about
twelve inches in length, evidently pro-
duced by the slipping of the chld's foot.
The footprints are those Of child be-
tween two and three years of age. There
are also numerous tracks of some animal,
probably an otter. The footprints of the
child appear at regular intervals, the right
and left foot alternating, and extend over
o space of five feet. They are 50 perfect
that, when examined critically under the
microscope by a scientific man some years
ago, it is said the very grain Of the flesh
could be detected.
." 1t is scarcely possible that these foot
prints could have been the work OF art.
The estate on which the rock containing.
them is situated belongs to Mr.. George w.
Early. and has been in the family ever
since the land was first entered, under a
patent obtained from George III. 1t has
been ncighborhood curiosity for many
years. Qnite recently gentleman living
in Gordonsyillc, hearing of this curiosity,
rode twenty miles on horseback to see it,
and, becoming interested in it, induced
Mr.. Early to join him in employing work
men to quarry it out. This is now being
carefully done. 1t is, in all probability,
the most remarkable curiosity of its kind
which has ever been discovered, and may
throw much light on the vexed question of
the date Of mans appearance on this
