E.psu.e. Of Recon..ruetien.

The expenses of the Military Govern
nent in the State of Virginia for ten
months have been five millions of dol
lars. This is exclusive of Freedmen's
Bureau outlays and other expenses not
properly belonging to the military
department. The Herald estimates the
cos; Of governing Virginia at ten mil
lions annually, while the cost of Radi-
cal reconstruction in the entire South il
pnts at one hundred millions per Gnaum.
Governor MoRToN states that it will
take ten years to reconstruct the South
BY the Brigadier process. Putting the
cost at little over one half the Fer
AIDS estimate. sixty millions a year,
and the entire amount of the bill for
the STEVENS experiment, counting
principal in paper and interest in gold,
will be eight hundred and ninety-tro mil
Iioas or about Onu-third of the national
debt. These figures may furnish our
tax payers with some valuable food for
rejection.

FRENCH MERINo SHEEP.-Messrs.
Wright, Hamilton & Brown, of Wash
iagton county, Penn, are putting out
on the shares fifteen hundred fine French
Merino Sheep, in this county. A most
important enterprise, which we take
pleasure in recording.
We regret to learn that the only child,
an interesting little son, in the second
year of his age, Of Mrs. Bette Pultz, Ct
Berkeley county, this State, daughter of
the late John Kern, Jr., of this place,
was so badly burned by falling into the
fire, on Tuesday of last week, as TO cause
its death on the following day.
From the Union Register.)
Mr.. Sam'l C. Ludington, of Greenbrier
bought the hands of Capt. VIM. Renick,
near Frankford, last week, for $4,000.
This was prime grazing land. About
1000 acres were sold.
The election in this county was un-
doubtedly quiet-so that few persons
out of two townships knew that there
was an election. Only eighty-tour
votes were cast in the county and the
Radical nominees received these, of
course.

murder was committed in Mercer

His whole official history is record of
wrong and -rottenness. He has injured
the reputation Of our State, and driven
immigrants from her borders, by falsely
declaring that her people were lawless
and rebellious. He made the non
enforcement Of the original voters
"Test- Oath" q pretext for sending sol
diers into tho Greenbrier Valley-while
even the Radical Courts have de-
clared that oath to have been
q nullity and unworthy of respcct-and
still the fact stands that not a single
instance of disorder justifying military
interference has ever arisen in the So
called "disaffected region" He iucited
the enactment of proscriptiye legisla-
tion which has burdened our people with
taxation that is grinding and worse
than useless. He has appointed the
worst men of the State to enforce that
legislation, and they have been swift
to do his bidding in work of lawless
persecution. They have prescribed
men without cause, tried them without
authority and punished them without
evidence. Nearly five hundred citizens
in a single county (Barbour) were dis
franchised to suit his purposes, after
they had voted under his own Regis
trars for nearly two years, and so
thoroughly were decency and justice
outraged at their trial, that a Federal
officer present declared that General
GRANT himself could not prove his 10y
atty before such tribunal" The very
soldiers brought into our State to aid
this mans infamous work have turned
away in disgust. The troops at Phil
lippi have left place where they were
never needed, and their departure SO
soon after the election is the best proof
that they wero brought here, not to pre-
serve the public peace, but to enforce
villainous prescription. What is true
of his prescription in one county, is true
to greater or less extent throug ghout
the entire State. His object has been'
not to enforce the laws, but to work out
partisan purposes, so that Federal soldiers
hare been disfraRckised because they ,cere
Democrats, and rebel soldiers hare been reg
istered because they roted the Radical ticket.
These are facts, but they are not all
the facts. We might speak of other
corruptions, citing our illustrations.
We might refer to brutalities, and
allude to BUCHANAN "sick and i'll
prison." rotting in our Atheneum, and
finally dying under the despotism of
this smsll-brained tyrant who refused
to release his victim that lac might live,
and yet to this day can produce no
fact justifying the barbarity under
which that man perished. But we for
bear. What we have said, We defy the
Times or any other journal that mates
with meanness and white-washes otli-t
cial infamy, to refute.
We have introduced these remarks in
order to give Mr.. BoEEMAN's organ an
opportunitS to make specific reply to
specific charges. 1t and its class have
been pleased to denounce all who speak
against their patron as libellers and de-
f,,nars We ara table to give a reasan"

"A writer in a diminutive Radi-

phenomenon somewhere in the
North as an,honest and respeeta-
BILE Radical editor; but, the man
who claims to.be a Southerner, and
edits or publishes a paper in the
interests, Of that unutterably in
famous party that seeks the de-
struction of the South, will not be
safely trusted with anything he
can steal or ruin or betray, and is
in all respects beneath contempt"
