CULPEPER Court HOUSE. Our town is still
improving, aud bids fair, in few years, to rival
its ancient and venerable friends, Alexandria
and Fredericksburg. Already the streets and
wharf begin to remind us of our halcyon
days, when the horse-cake at the shop window,
made our boyish eyes glisten, and our mouths
water To be sure We are without the water
craft, the floating tug, putting and bio wing up
the Potomac or Rappahannock; but there is
the shrill whistle Of the locomotive, painting
with freighted cars, speeding their way to the
emporium of trade
Already we hear the trowe and the jack plane
tuning up for the Spring music. Not less than

BOUNDARY LINE BErwEE MARYLAND AND
VIRGINIA. "A resolution has been introduced
in the Legislature relative to the monuments
designating the boundary lines between Mary
land and Virginia, and on this subject we would
make suggestion to the member who Intro
duced it. Of course the members are aware
that the late Colonel Angus McDooald was
sent to England, before the war, to search
among the archives, libraries, &C., for such
books, manuscripts and maps as might throw
light on what are the true boundaries of the
State of Virginia. He returned after con-
siderable absence, during which he made q
most interesting and valuable collection of
maps, charts, books and manuscripts from
which, and other sources of information, he
compiled report, which, we believe, was
never laid before the Legislature Indeed, it
was thought impolitc to do so, or TO take any
action on the subject, because OF the threaten
ing aspect of political affairs. The Legislature
had authorized Colonel Med TO compile and
publish in book form the maps which he had
brought with him from Europe, but the war i'll
terfered with the execution of the work.
Colonel McD., however, re.copied and bound
in book form number of papers and placed
them in the Library, together with sundry
antique and original maps; but while some of
these escaped the vandal and predatory hands
of the soldiery and others who made a raid on
the Library after the evacuation, some still
remain, and the report Of the result of his
researches is now in the Library. This report
proves, az we think, ineontestably that the
true boundry line between Virginia and Mary
land is the northern bank of the Potomac and
that the whole of that magnificent river belongs
to the former. Richmond Wing.

Tax paying is progressing as usual, at this
time of year. The ten per cent. penalty is
added on the 10th of next month, and tax
payers, generally, appreciate the advantage Of
saving that discount by paying beforehand e.
AS usual the school tax is the highest AMI yet
is the tax people generally grumble least
about. The State tax comes hardest, as that
is expended away from home, and for par
poses not of SO especial interest to the people
US that raised for schools. We hope that the
State tax may be redused at least one mill
this year.
