LEEsBURG, January 1.-The news OF the
rejection Of the constitutional amendment was
published Yesterday in the Washingtonian, but
the names of the voters did not reach as till TO-
day. I think I may say th:,t the news was
very grateful to our citizens, who lceI; and have
for sometime felt, that it were better 10 bear
the ills we have than fly to others that We know
not OF. y
They have yielded with good grace to the
inevitable, and have not proved FESTIVE under
the yoke imposed upon them, but they would
not. of their own accord, tighten the yoke, or
add one single feather to the burden they bear
If additional burdens are to be imposed they
must be placed on by others iorcbly, not as
sumed by them. There is no spirit OF braVado,
but steady, earnest determination. The nam
mer is usually worn out sooner than the anvil:
and patient endurance will wear out persecution.
In the meantime, Ircjoice to notice the signs
OF manufacturing enterprise abroad III the
South. Wise legislation will foster It, acd cut
Of The clouds Of evils, now threatening U.s. VIII
break the warm sunshine Of prosperity.
hear Of fine hocks Of sheep in our county ;
among the best is that of Capt. \. II. Heaton,
of the ncighborhood of WoodgroVe, at the foot
of the Blue Ridge. There are many more
sheep in the county than there ever Wele be-
fore and the breeds are more OF line wool than
they used to BE- With the wool will come the
factories, and they will give employment.
am told that the wages of men near Aide
are 500 per annum, the farmer furnishing the
Clothes and a few extra good hands hire tor
$40. When the laborer furnishes the clothes
he gets $50; women hire generally at 81 per
month. some as high as S., and furnish their
own clothes There is Il greater disposition to
hire for the whole year.
In this town, women, who can cook, wash
and iron, get Sc per month; in the country,
probably, 81 less. Men hire for $3.50 per an
mum, and good ''chunks' Of boys. who can
pIouch, hire for Sc per month, furnishing Their
own clothes, and probably with rather less IN
clination to hire by the year
7 heard OF one negro man, who had hired
himself for $3.50 per annu!D, who at Christmas
| had undrawn Slll.00; the rest having been
appiea to purchase clothing, &c. Another
| had undrawn only Sc or 81, and the rich man
was afraid he would be r1bbed so he asked his
employee to say to him that he would pay In
Lecsburg next day. This was done, and be
came On confidently to town with his suspected
comrade, who was ignorant all the timc CT the
riches of his fellow traveller
Samuel D. Leslie, avery Old and worthy
man, Il tanner by trade, died near lllii>5oro
this morning.
The freezing weather still continues, and the
girls ana boys, young ladies and young gentle
men, are highly amused every day with the
capcrs cut BY themselves and others on the inc
ponds in OR neigh borhGod. AL!QUIS.

The STAY LAw-On Friday last, Judge

case before him, declaring the State Stay Law

the property for sale, in default Of the payment
of the notes TO prevent the sale, Nh. Taylor

Fridae the injunction was heard, and, in
very elaborate decision, the Judge pronounced
the stay law unconstitutional, aod dissolved the
Injunction An appeal will be taken from the
decision. and the case carried up to the Court Of
