II Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
LEEsBURa, Va, Nov. 9, 1S67.-Our hearts,
with yours have been gladdened by the cheer
ing news from the North. Truly it seems
sthat blood is thicker than water, and that
the long talked of, long delayed political RE
ACTION has taken place, and that the era OF
good feeling between the various sections OF
our country is maniiesting itself heartily
Kindly words and kindly acts should be freely
reciprocated and we may soon be one prothcf-
hood again u,,,
The old Friends meeting house at Water
ford, which has stood LOG years, was yesterday
destroyed by fire in this wise: Some school
boys set fire to the leaves in the large church
yard adjacent to the building, and the lire com
municated to it. 1t was widely known as the
meeting place of Friends, in February quarter
ly meeting; the summer quarterly meeting
being held at Goose Creek, now LINCOLN.
| notice some persons from the North, who
have been looking at our lands with view tc
buying. They seem to re quiet, respectable
people one of them evidently Democrat
but the other seem to come simply with view
to business They arc heartily welcome

I'll We forewarned those, in this State, who
after theWar, and when matters we're becoming
10 little quiet, kept ''patting" Hunnicutt (and
persons like him) on the back, encouraging
!, them, showing them attentions, and contribut-
ing; to give them power and influences, that
they were doing "a great sorong to others as
we'll as to themselves, and thatthey would find
it out before long! Some Of them haze found
it out already, and few are candid enough to
acknowledge it |! They have seen that they
have warmed into life aud venom that which
will sting them, as we'll as their neighbors-
and they are responsible for much that is now
going on, under the direction of 'Hunnicutt
and his set. Had they treated him as he
deserved e; be treated, the case might have
beep different. Hunnicutt lis now just what
he was. swhenlhe was in this State months ago,
cap in hand and hand in glove" with some
who now denounce him, as an incendiary dis
turber. of the public peace.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE VIRGINIA CONvEN
TIoN DELEGATES. Several Radical delegates
to the Virginia Convention arrived in this city
a day or two ago Tor the purpose Of getting
posted as to how they should conduct them
selves at the approaching convention. In pur-
suancc of this object three Of these delegates
had a meeting last nj ght at 4 private residence
here, at which were present Representatives
Schenck, Logan and another Radical member of
Congress, and it is to be supposed that the del
egates were duly instructed in regard to the
measures to be incorporated in the new conSti
tuition for the State of Virginia. One Of the
delegates to the Virginia Convention is clerk
in the FrpedmeD's Bureau and Northern
man. While receiving salary Of 81, 200 per
annum as government clerk, he addressed
the negroes at political meetings, became o
candidate to the Convention and Of course was
elected He is now in this city engaged in
matters pertaining to the Convention, and
still retains his position as bureau clerk-N

AND WHAT THEN?-The Norfolk Journal
is not disposed to be confident that the day
of our deliverauce has dawned. 1t makes the
following remarks:
LAS to Congress, it holds al Overwhelming
majority for two years to come in the House "f
REPRESENTATIVES and in the Senate it, ascend
ancy is established for an indefinite period. 1t is
moreover virtually settled that Gen. Grant is
a Republican, ard will be the Radical candl-
date for the Presidency iu, 1868. None can
foresce what vicissitudcs may occur between
now and the day Of election but the chances
would seem to be altogether in favor Of Gen.
Grant $ election to the Presidential office. This
is as much as to say that the chances are in
favor of Republican majority in the House OF
Representatives which shall Immediately SUE
cecd the present one.
The Journal might have added that the cot
ton States are already bound hand and foot by
the Radicals, and will be forced into the Union
as allies of Rahicalsm, before the 4th of March
next Virgnia's fate is not yet decided. She
may succeed in voting down the Radicals upon
the question Of the ratification OF the Constitu-
ton. But II she does. and she alone remains
out of the Union on.the 4th Of March next,
what then ?--Ridt. Dis.

$tained articles in strong condemnation Of the
Trades Unions in.England and certainly, the
details given Of the operations Of these Unions,
<ot their oppression, tyranny, and injustice, and
their injury to business and trade, may well
justify the feeling which is excit ed against
them, and account for the stand In opposition

now that the House WILDE called on to decide

minority report in favor Of impeachment

that all the Radical members of the committee

ANTI MASONIC WAR IN CUBA. A Havana
letter of the 4th instant says:
The anti Masonic movement On the part Of
the Government still continues. On the 2Sth
ult the rooms occupied by the Masonic Ledge
in Puerto Principe we're visited by agc0ts Of

received information Of the proposed visit long
previously, no papers OF documents were found,
and although it was a regular stated meeting
night, only four persons could be found III the
building Male visitors in the hous=s around
the Lodge were very plentiful that evening.
The four gentlemen found were ia ken into
custody by the guardians of the public peace
and morals, and liberated again after conGnc-
ment Of three hours. What the end OF this
will be nobody knows. The Government is
alternating from itself the sympathies and good
will OF large body of its most influential citi

NOTES FOR THE MONTH. Towards the latter
part of the month, after sufficiently earthing
up, the celery should be we'll covered, to pro-
tect it from the frost. Its best protection is a
covering of straw two OF three inches deep. .
Cabbage will also require to be taken up and
secured by covering. This may be done either
by laying in pits with the heads down, or by
laying. 10 the ground by the roots and covering
with straw. The latter is perhaps the best
mode 3 49,. -.
Beets may be preserved by putting them in
pit or cellar. Satisfy, parsnips and carrots
will do better by leaving them in the ground !;
a supply may be dug up, however, and kept in
the cellar for use When the ground is closed
by, frost, asparagus beds should be cleaned off
and manured ready for next Spring, and all
stiff, heavy soils should be MANFRED and
ploughed thus exposing them better to the
frost and making them more friable.
In the flower garden, layers and cuttings
should be Ipotted off, and these with all the
tender plants, should be removed to the green
house. In the valley and northern portions of
the State, roses and other mi-hardy plants
that are left in the flower garden should be
protected from the frost by manures, straw or
cedar branches. Green houses should be reg
ularly fumigated to destroy the green fly.
This is the best month for setting out young
trees, and for filling up and making new or
chards. The young Seeding stocks for nursery
purposes are better planted in the Spring, but
valuable trees, we think, have more chance Of
succeeding by being planted in the Fall-1hc
