F,ed{ey from EOuslOun County.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
LEEsBURG, Va, July S-Having had very
fine weather for harvest, the farmers in this
part of the county have nearly cut out, and
arc either stacking, or cutting grass or blowing
corn, which on good land is growing in spite OF
the drought. ......
The harvest under the ridge is not so early,
but the farmers there will finish about Satur-
day night.
The crop of-wheat it is estimated, will be
at least twice the number of bushels that were
raised last year, and the quality is good
Mr.. Mckenzie was up in Loudoun last week
and succeeded IN getting some SO 600 subscrlb-
ed to The 80 bonds of the company, and
S., 900 have been added since by agents, who
are still out.
Work will be commenced on the road early
next week and the cars will probably run to
Mercier's Depot about September 1st The
influence on the freight of the road will he con-
siderable, as it will probably draw most of the
freight between the Aide and Snickersville
turnpike on he South, and the Potomac river
on the North. .'-.
Whether the grain and other trade from
Philomont down 10 AIdie can be drawn to Lees
burg, will depend in a great measure upon the
fact of the completion, or non completion OF
the Loesburg and Aide turnpike; the former
is wished for by our people, but not worked for
to the extent that its Importance to Us seems
to demand.
La politics We quietly bide outline
The platform has given general satsfac-
tioo and We earnestly trust that the Northern
people are fully aware Of the danger which
threatens them, and determined to restore the
Constitution as they did preserve the life of
the nation.
Pendleton and Hancock are the favorites
here, but the old maids answer to the who,

Should you make US a visit this summer, you

WHEAT.-We would advise farmers to send
their wheat to the markets in as clean condi-
ton as possible. Farmers who do not attend
to this lose considerably in price, for although
dirt weighs, and of course is paid for, yet the

TEST FOR EXPLOSIVE OLs.-The following
is from the Journal of Chemistry: take a
common quart bowl; fill it one.third full Of
boiling water; now add cold water, little at a
time, until "a thermometer placed in it indicates
temperature Of 10 deg. Fab. A tablespoon
full Of the oil to be tested may be turned into
the water, end stirred about with the Their
touched with lighted match or bit of paper,
being careful 10 not ignite the main body of
oil. II it takes fire, the oil is dangerous and
the seller can be prosecuted under the United
States law. 1t must not be used in the family.
: In this experiment, SO simple that all can make
1t, an accurate thermometer should be used.
The common thermometer in aJapanned iron
case is usually sufficiently accurate.

BAYNE. the notorious colored man of the late
Virginia Convention, has fallen under the dis
pleasure of his own color, because he opposes
Chandler, the white Radical candidate for Con
gress. The Richmond Dispatch says:
'Bayne soon met enemies whenever he lett
Norfolk. In Petersburg, without provocation
on bis part or explanation on the part OF his
assaiIants, he has been attacked and beaten
and would have been killed but for the timely
interposition OF white Virginians-p policemen
and others Yesterday we chronlcled Bayne's
third narrow escape in Petersburg; and this
morning we have to state that he was most cru
ely beaten at City Point and kicked down the
long stairway that leads from the wharf 10 the
top OF the bluff He went there to address the
coteys; but was set upon by some detestable
wretches of white carpet-baggers and mob of
negroes. and was badly beaten. Again his lite
was saved by the timely intervention of some
white Virginians, who got him secreted until
the morning boat was passing, when he was put
on board and sent to Norfolk. y

extreme members ofthe House, was opposed
in an effort a few days ago, in Congress- to
have the political disabilities of one James L.
Alexander, of North Carolina, removed, by 8
member of Congress from that State of the
name of French, who said ''the loyal men of
North Carolina had never been able to find a
man in the State named Alexander who was
loyal" Mr.. Butler, however, vouched for his
loyalty himself, stating that he knew him. Mr.
French admitted, in reply, that he was not

that "such and such an one was as disloyal as
the as the Alexander family" This is mag
