The PIONEER MILLs.-ln some remarks on
this subject, it was recently stated IN commu-
nication in the Gazette, that the value of the
property upon which the Pioneer Mills are
erected, is $50, 1000. When was 1t ever worth
that amount? Certainly, | think, never IN
current funds; for by reference to the city books
it will be found that this property never yielded
to the city treasury in rent and taxation an az
cragc OF $3.50 per annum since 1918. l can
furnish the names Of the occupants OF this
property, beginning with Mr.. Stewart in 1918,
down to its occupancy by Mr.. Green. 1t Is
also said that good deal of dissatisfaction was
expressed by tax payers, Sc. Tell me- when
there was not good deal OF dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by that class Of our citizens? Some
who never paid dollar Of tax in their lives are
always dissatisfied with the levy.
It is also said that it is proposed to dlscrlmI-
nate against any other mill company which
may be hereafter formed, &c. Now we need
not be the least uneasy about that matter. The
gist of this subject is not as to merchant mills
which in future may be erected in imagination,
but it is to render available the Pioneer Mills
already erected in our midst, and at present
standing like huge elephant, consuming Its
owners means of subsistence, and benetttlng
none: and if by releasing the city claims Tor
rent and taxes we can get guarantee that
these mills will be put into operation, say let
it be done, that our farmers may, lind here a
better market for their grain, and place to
purchase their supplies; also cur coopcrs and
timber getters to the number OF 400 may lind
employment; as may, also, about 80 mi!lers,
engineers, firemcn, and laborers. A.

The Richmond News says crowds daily visit
the place where the new process of manuiac-
turing butter is carried on-but now, it is ad-
ded-that "butter can be manufactured at 30
cts. per pound,' and that ''the ingredients
necessary to the manufacture are cheap, harm
less, and can be procured from any drug store. "
We hope to see butter made in the old fashion
ed way as cheap as that. before long

We see nothing furtherin relation to the re-
ported "plot for the assassination OF the Presi-
dent" In some papers it has not been men
toned at all. The Washington correspondent
O! the BaltimoreSun says:-'The story amounts
to nothing. A city official, who was spoken Of
as having been concerned in the conspiracy,
publishes card denying all comp licity, and it
is reported about the City Hall that he is about
to enter suit for damages. The whole story,
it seems, had its origin in private quarrel,
and in some exciting language used by two wo'
men in quarrel at the market-house, few
DAYS ago"

ALEXANDRIA.

The Baltimore Gazette, speaking Of the re-
cent elections says: 'The election returns from
that wide belt of country comprising the States
of PennsYlgania, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska,
although imperfect and partial indicate that
thu majority of the people of the North contin-
ue to support the course of the Radical party.
1t is possible that local causes have contributed
to the triumph Of that party in the recent cleo
tions, which may be imperative at the Presi-
Dental election, and that the result OF the con-
test in November may be very different from
the issue Of the struggle on Tuesday. 1t is not
probably, however, that any such sanguine an
ticipations will be realized Whatever the
probabilities may be, we sincerely hope that
there will not be man of true conservative
principles, who will hold back at the Preslden-
tial election, in any of the States which are re-
ported to have given adverse results. This
they owe to duty and their country. No one
knows what a concerted and determined effort
may not yet effect

ELEVENTH Hour DISCIPLES. There is a

Whether the eleventh hour men will fare as

accession to their ranks, now that the heat and

GENERAL WIcKHAM. This gentleman, now
good republican, and afilating with carpet
baggers, was q Brigadier General Of cavalry
during the late war, as is we'll known. An in
cident illustrating the difference between no1o
and then, is related by former member OF his
command. When Wilson made the raid
which bears his name, to Reams' Station, on
his retreat he was followed by an immense
number of negroes who we're going Oft, under
the shelter OF his army, to freedom When
he was o7ertalzen by the Confederates, and his
command almost demolished, the negroes in
large numbers were captured and returned to
their owners On one occasion, a negro woman,
who was making off to the woods, was ordered
to halt by little cavalryman called Buck
shot by his comrades from his small size. The
order was not needed by the woman, where
upon Buckshot" turned to General Wick
ham and said, "what must do with her, Cen
eral?" Fire at her y was the reply, which
order was understood, as it was intended,
and otcyed by the soldier, who fired, OF course,
SO 90 to miss her.
A aughab!e incident occurred On this same
raid. Among the prisoners taken was Cav
airy Captuin, who took occasion to express his
abolition views quite freely to his Confederate
captors. Seeing that he loved the poor ne
grocs" 50 we'll they made him carry the infant
child OF a negro woman they had picked up,
for many miles, in his arms. He was soon
seen attempting to throw it into the bushes,
but was not allowed, whereupon he sWore so
savagely as to make himself the laughing stock,
not only Of his captors, but even OF his fellow

The article signed "Justice. " from Leesburg,
Loudoun county, Va, in relation to the Stay
Law, shows so bitter and harsh spirit as to
subject it, at oEce, to the condemnation OF all
liberal hearted men. The arguments and mo-
tives, for the continuance of the Stay Law, at
this t;n1e are irresistible, as is admitted by lib
eral creditors; whatever they may think OF the
law as an original proposition, or as to its first
operation. It is the temper of such people as
Justice and his compeers that rouses bad
feelings. [ believe there are not many such In

Long Bridge last Saturday morning, has already
been mentioned, has not yet been ascertained
nor has his body been recovered although every

cumstance was suicide, still strengthens.
In the Circuit Court on Tuesday, judgment
was entered by default in the case OF Catharlne
