Austria and Prussia proposed to themselves

authorities IN Mexico forced upon Msx1zrzlaHt the
bloody policy which was afterwards invoked lor

the General commanding this District We anti

He told Miss LUCY STONE to ':be free to say from
me that thnk there will be no end to the good that
will come BY it" and be further expressed the
opinion that at no distant day women will possess
the franchise as freely as men. Mr.. CHASE is re-
ported by his enemies, if not by his friends, to be
candidate for the next Presidency; and we should
hike to know, seeing he considers the subject of
such great consequence, whether he is willing to
have it inserted as plank in his Presidential
platform. To stand by ones convictions, and to
display high moral courage in upholding them
under all circumstances, are admirable things.

dominates. The Copper River country is said to

Upon inquiry in proper directions it is found
that there is No authentic foundation for the re-
port that Mr. BROWNING proposes resiguing his
position as Secretary OF the Interior. His health
is not much improved, andit is believed by some
that sh. uld Mr.. BROWNING become convinced
shortly that there is no prospect Of its permanent
restoration, ,heswin tender his resignation. Mr..
BoaY, who is named by some as the probable sue
eessor OF Secretary BaowSrNa, is not mentioned In
that connection in ofaoial circles, and there is no
good reason for believing that he would receive
the appointment should vacancy in the Office
occur.
The great want Of every interest of the country
is some cheaper and more efficient means Of
freight transportation between the grain -produ-
cling and the manufacturing and importing re-
gions. The system of exclusively freight railroads
ON which individuals or companies could do
their own freighting-seems to have met with
much favor from practical business men. This
system hss the great melit Of perfect simplicity.
It is proposed to have several trac IS, on which
cars are to be moved at unifc'. rate of speed,
say eight miles an hour. 1t has been absolutely
demonstrated that q road managed on this prin-
ciple would be worth more as freight road than
all the existing lines put together.

CULPEPER CDCN 1 a.,
June Is, 1867. !

SHREWSBURY, CULPEPER CoUN11,
June Is, 1867.
Messrs. Editors,-I am panied to record
most serious affair between two promi-
nent citizens of this place, resulting, as we
fear it will, in the death of one of the par
ties. On last Sabbath morning, while pre-
pairing to attend church, Mr.. Martin Brown
visited his stable for the purpose of sad
ding his horse, when he was attacked by
Mr.. Robert Grayson, shot three times, and
dangerously, perhaps mortally, wounded.
On the Wednesday preceding Mr.. Gray
son left home, stating that he intended to
visit Charlottesville. On Saturday eve
ming mr.. Brown, while grazing his horse
near Mr.. Grayson's house, saw and con-
versed with Mrs. Grayson, which CONVEX
sation, it is stated, was overheard by her
husband, and was the cause of the lamen-
table affair. Mrs. G. disclaims anything
criminal having been said by either party.
Soon after sunrise on Sunday morning,
Mr.. Grayson secreted himself near Mr..
Browns stable, and as Brown approached
fired on him with double-barrel shot
gun, woundipg him in the left side. Mr..
Brown, who was STOPPING to pick up the
stable key which he had dropped, was
completely bewildered by the surprise,
and before he recovered his presence Of
mind received a second shot. Brown, be-
ing unarmed, turned to seek safety in
flight, when Grayson fred third shot
with pistol, which took effect in the back.
Grayson then advanced upon him, but
seeing several gentlemen coming to
Browns rescue, turned and ran home,
locked up his gun in the barn, informed
his wife of his rash act, and, mounting his
horse, rode to Culpeper Courthouse and
surrendered himself to the civil authori-
ties.
The physicians who were called in to
attend Mr. Brown have but slight hopes
of his recovery. Three buck-shot still re-
main in his abdomen, and four in his left
side and breast, while the pistol-ball in his
back cannot be traced.
The affair excites much regret, as both
gentlemen were we'll known in the COM
munity in which they reside.

the former just now merely to serve pre-,

against the whites OF the South, at the
