LETTER FROM CULPEpEE COUNTY
Corresponds nee Of the Richmond Dispatch.
CrLPErGH c. H., January 3, lSG1.

CrLPEr1H c. H., January 3, 1867.
This war-scarred old county is rccupc-
rating more rapidly than could nave been
anticipated. This is my first visit since
The closv of the war, and wonderful IN
deed is the progress which Las been made.
Still NOR" wonderful is the spirit Of
the people. They are as hopeful and
cnterpri>Ing, and liberal rs II they were
among the couquerors, Instead al beng
among those who have suffered most al those
conqucroro' hands. During these Christ
mas times, have sat at their ho>plta0lc
boards, mingled in their festivities, lis
tened to their cheerful tones, and have for
gotten, Tor the moment, the suIicringa
thr.ugA which they have passed.
But my ride, Il day or twp since, through
miles of fencccss fields, sufficiently re
minded me Of the war. That ride was to
visit an old friend, Major Joseph i. Flick
lin, who, in connection with Mr.. =. Law
renee Stringicllow, has been, since the war,
pioneer in wool-growing Oh q large scale
in Virginia. Not only has he large and
productive flock OF panty improved sheep,
bat a sufficient number Of pure Mcrino,
purcha>ed from the celebrated hacks o.
George Campbell and l.. Bridge, OF Yer
Ill
that valuable breed. lie IS confident OF
the proitablcness OF wooi-growing which,
at the present price OF wool, Is estimated
to pay 100 per cent, besides enIlchiH@ the
land. This method OF using the S"h IS
peculiarly desirable now, as II Is compare
lively independent ct the labor question,
the proprietor being able, with the ali ~
shepherds dog, 10 give all needtul at
tcution to flock OF several hundred sheep.
