Elihu, Cadwallader, Charles Samuel, and
William A. L., residents OF nearly as many
States as there are persons in the family, have
erected a summer residence on the old home

the ''brothcrs," their wives and children, and
such guests as hey wish to invite. The father,
Israel Washburn, esd. upwards. OF eighty
years of age, Is still living, AID IN excellent
health Here these families meet each year

The Worcester Mass) Gazette discharges a
big gun at General Butler: The Gazette is a
Radical paper. Here is the mildest portion OF
its remarks: "We do not like to speak dis
respectfully or bitterly of public men, but when
We think of General Buffers course from the
beginning, it strikes US as showing such an
utter lack of high principle, as being SO clearly
career of selfish, unprincipled, personal ambl-
ton, that We confess to getting a little lmpa-
tent" -.

B,ette,. from Loudoun County, Va.
ICorrespondence of tho Alexandria Gazette J
LEEsBURG, Va, August l2.-On Saturday
and Monday last several tracts of land were of.
fered at public sale, and in no single instance
was sale effected.
The reason of this is in one case the extreme
size of the tract (S43 scres), and IN the others
their distance from the railroads, and canal
transportation.
The terms of these court sales are pretty
strong, too, amounting to q cash payment OF
four tenths, and the remainder in one and two
years, with interest, while the sales at private,
are for onc-third cash. and the remainder IN
one, two and three years; IN both cases With
interest. =
The man who has 81 900 10 hand can buy d
$4,000 farm and make most, II not all, his
payments from the proceeds of the farm itself.
Bargains can therefore more easily be had at
these court safes.
The prospect for turnpike from Leesburg
to Aldc Is probably not to be realized very Soon
The farmers along the route do not seem to
feel any interest in it; l except from this re-
mark two gentlemen near the middle OF the
route, who have subscribed literally, and would
probably do more; but generally they have de-
ClncQ TO SUBSTITUTE.
The Adieans expect that the road from
Georgetown to interscct the A, l.. & Il. 4. L.
will be continued to Aide from some point or
other, and thus they will be at the head OF rail
road navigation in the county, which would DE
Il very good thing for them.
The track laying on the Alexandria, Loudoun
and Hampshire Railroad is going on quite we'll,
and | suppose at decent rate of progress Will
be finished to Bowic's crossing of the turnpike
about the 10th Of September. This point is
the Waterford depot, that village being atout
81 miles distant, and it is probable that the
drain on the Point Of Rocks trade will COM
mence here, as Waterford is seven miles from
that railroad station, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Should nothing prevent the
further progress of the road the track may be
laid TO Merciers, six miles from Leesburg by
October 10th, and then the farmers Of Loudoun
will reap the benefit from the subscriptions
made to the road, who themselves will have to
wait for its ultimate completion for their re-
ward. 49,,
Baltimore, Georgetown and Alexandria will
compete at Mercer's for the most of the 600
600 bushels Of wheat, aud $50, 900 bushels of
corn raised " Loudoun, and, | suppose, we
people Of Loesburg will have to find some sub
stitute for butter, which is even now thirty cts
per pound. ALlQUIS.

Prepare for winter and provide permanent

honest, sober, industrious, economical, comply
strictly with all your contracts, and be polite to

The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-12-13

DEATH OF P. B. GAEEscH. painful
intelligence of the death of this distinguished
and excellent man reached us yesterday. Mr..
Garesche was born in Delaware, but in 1S43
settled himself in Missouri, where he attained
high honor and responsibility. In 1855 he
was appointed public administrator in the
city of st. Louis, an Office which he held
until the breaking out of the war in 1861,
when, feeling that with his ideas of State
sovereignty, with his sympathies for the
Southern people, he could not conscientiously
take the required oath of loyalty, he resigned
the Office and joined his aid to the Confeder-
ate cause, taking charge of the powder works
of the South, position he filed until the
close of the war. Mr.. Garesche died in ST.
Louis, recently, lamented by all who knew
him. The editor of the CRESCENT knew him
well and intimately, and pays this feeble
tribute to his memory

THE JACKSON RAILROAD.

In this mornings CRESCENT we publish the
report of the masters in chancery, appointed
by the United States court to examine
and report on the affairs of the road with ref
erence to the suit brought against the COM
pany by Mr.. ID. ID. Withers. We would di-
rect the special attention of our readers to
this extremely important and interesting doc
ument In what manner it may influence the
decision of the court in the pending suit, of
course we cannot say, but it is clear that its
influence ON public opinion must be such as
TO confirm confidence in the existing admins
tration of the affairs of the company. We
have not space this morning to enter on an
analysis of the report-indeed, in spite of its
length, it could scarcely be successfully con-
densed within less than the space which its
authors have occupied. We would, however,
direct attention to one error, attributable into
which the report falls and which is liable to
mislead the reader as it appears to have
misled the counsel for Mr.. Withers in the
closing argument of the cause. We adverted
to this error yesterday, because we had repro
duced it in our brief statement of the argu-
ment. The following note from Mr.. Charles,
the secretary of the company, places the mat
ter in a clear light;
OFFICE OF THE NEW ORLEANS, JACKSON AND
GREAT NORTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY.
New Orleans, December IL, 1868.

THE MECHANICS AND AGRICULTURAL
FAIR.

The time is approaching for the third an:
nual exhibition of the Louisiana Mechanics
and Agricultural Fair Association, and we
hope our citizens will respond actively and
earnestly to the energetic efforts of the direc-
tors to make the enterprise a success worthy
of the prospective greatness of the CONNER
ciai capital of the Southwest The existence
of this institution ought TO be regarded as one
Of the most encouraging symptoms of that
revival of the industrial spirit to which Louis
lana owes such of her prosperity as she has
reeained, and to which she will owe the
speedy development of her inestimable agri-
cultural, commercial and manufacturing re-
sources. Indeed, the beneficial results of the
FIST exhibition of the association were appre-
ciable to an extent that constituted con-
spicuous commentary on the benefits TO be
derived from this form of eliciting COMPETE
tion of that kind which organizes and at the
same time stimulates industry. The theory
on which fairs of this kind are founded is en-
ttrely accordant with the truths of political
ebonomy, and the success which has attended
them in all communities characterized by a
HiObiCooifO opIAt, dIu al dppTcCld-
tjon Of the value of new and improved
Methods, proves their practical utility. There
ID no part of the country that stands more in
need of these expedients than Louisiana, and
there is no city that offers greater induce
Iaents for them than New Orleans. 1t is
greatly to be hoped, therefore, that our people
will do everything in their power to en-
courage and aid the directors by means not
only of approving sympathy, but of active
participation.
The board of directors in the resolve to
ypake the enterprise a success, have deter
jnined to put on the market the limited
amount of stock remaining at their disposal,
N order to enable them to complete their ar
sangements for the third annual exhibition,
which will be held in April next. 1t will be
seen by the advertisement published in this
,}norning's CRESCENT, that very superior in
JUDGEMENTS are offered to stockholders. Apart
.irom the prospective value of the stock as an
anvestment, and leaving out Of consideration
xhe general interest in the prosperity of the
s;ity and State which should cause our citi-
zens to purchase the shares now offered for
sale, these advantages ought to enable the
directors to dispose of the remaining stock
without difficulty.

Here is partial list of the carpetbag and
scalawag journals which, for some time were
printed in this city, and at one ofice-No. -
Commercial Place-whilst purporting to be
published in various country parishes. The
object, of course, was to get share of the
plumber, under the printins bill of the So
, called Legislature. Here is the list F: Weekly
Herald Weekly Courier, Weekly Republican
(not New Orleans,) Terrebonne Patriot, Gin.
ton Herald, ST. Bernard Herald, Morehouse
Herald, Carpet-Bagger. Rapides Tribune
{supplemenD. We say that this is list of
these supposititious official journals but we
do not say that the list is complete. On the
the contrary, we believe that there are more
of the same sort. Now, we should like to
know whether the bills presented by these
fraudulent concerns, for official printing, have
been paid, or whether the State officers have
declined to make themselves sccomplices in
the fraud.

We were gratihed to receive yesterday a
visit from Mr.. Sitter, of Dubuque, large
grain merchant. He is in the city to make
arrangements for the shipment here of large
amount of grain, from Iowa, to be sent
hence to Europe. The elevator here is now in
working order and ready for any grain that
may arrive. Mr.. Sitter proposes to try the
experiment of grain shipm ents to Europe via
New Orleans on alarge scale, as about 300, 600
bushels are to be sent. We were glad to learn
from this gentleman that he proposes, ere
long, to make New Orleans permanently his
home. Men like him we want here. Our cit
liens will always extend to them hearty well
come Mr.. Sitter left yesterday evening to
complete his arrangements at the North for
the shipment Of his grain.

Our friends in Mobile will find none of
their visitors more estimable than w. NJ.
Conner, Esq, of Memphis, Tenn, nor can
any portion of the United States furnish a
more experienced or more honorable turf
man. Mr.. Conner, true to his passion for the
race course, has left his cotton business in
Tennessee to follow the fortunes of his friends
from that State whose stables are entered for
the various winter meetings in the South.
He is also the correspondent, from this part
of the country, of the Spirit of the Times
and not only in that capacity, but as gentle
man and an intelligent turfman we commend
him heartily to our brethren of the press at
Mobile and Montgomery.
