Many Of our business men and lawyers

more pleasant to live in the country and
own a little farm, which, if properly
managed, will always yield support for
an ordinary family. Many professional
gentlemen have of late settled along the
line Of tbs Memphis and Charleston rail-
road, and are building Landscape resi-
dences near the road. Consequently
land has gone up very rapidly, and.we
hear occasionally Of very fancy prices.

JUBILANT JUNE.

The sweet volupti GUS June
Is here at length through all the sunny
hours
Over the grateful earth to sprinkle flowers
With heavily boon
And clothe with deeper verdure hill and
plain,
And give the woods their glory back again.
No bird, whose swelling throat
Quivers with song, or whose extended wing
Fans the soft air, but cheerily doth sing,
While DER the breezes float
Odors from blossoms which the suns caress
Wakes to new life in field and wilderness.
The shimmering sunlight falls
On mount and valley with aofter sheen ;
And, 10, the orchards newly clothed with
Lift up their coronals
Of flowers bright hued, or shaken by the
breeze,
Rain their sweet largess from thousand
trees.
The green and tender maize
Pierces the moistened mold, and from the
air,
And earth, and sunlight, gather strength
to dare
The sultry summer days;
And springs sweet promise OF autumnal
fruit
Lives in the blade of every fragile shoot.
Out underneath the sky,
Where the free winds may toss their sunny
curls,
Frolic glad companies of boys and girls
In sinless reyelry;
While Nature smiles approving on the play.
And lambs and birds with them keep holi"
day.
All gentle things rejoice ..
In the pew life and beauty round them
spread;
Green earth beneath, the blue sky overs
head;
And with exultant voice
Pour their thanksgiving to the Lord OF all,
Whose loving care notes even the sparrow's
fall.
Then welcome bonny June
The breezes fragrant with the breath OF
flowers,
With song and sheen chat make thy laugh
ing hours
With Joy attune,
With grateful hearts thy presence do we
And in thy gifts rejoice with thankfulness.

From the Richmond Enquirer.

We shall beat Wells. What
is there to prevent it ? Cannot
$4,000 whites beat 1O5, OOO
blacks ? They claim white
votes. Where will they get
them? Here in Richmond ?
How many? In the Valley,
or the Southwest ? how many :?
We do not think they can get
more than 10000; perhaps not
the half of it. Shall we not
get 10000 negro votes? Will
not the entire power and in
huence, actively exerted, ofthe
whole white race control 10, 900
negroes in this State? You
say, they did not control them
in '67. Who tried? There
was no effort certainly no gene
raj and earnest effort, to con-
troll them. Why, forty-five
thousand whites themselves did
not vote. The press was ad-
vising, some one thing, some
another. And some ten thou
sand negroes failed to vote
then. We say, all the power
of the white race eXerted to
control the negroes must pro-
duce some effect. 1t will do
it: we prophecy, and invite
observation of the returns of
the election. Were not the
negroes influenced in Georgia
in 1858? They were; heavy
negro counties were carried for
Gordon and against the consti-
tuition 1t was the white Re-
publican clement in the north
of Georgia that elected Bullock.
We believe two Of the Con-
gressmen elected in South
| Carolina are Conservatives. -
We refer also to Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana. They
are not to be influenced by ap-
pearing to fear them-remem-
Der that. We say then, we
ought to carry as many negro
voters as they can carry white
voters at least as many. -
Then we have our majority Of
3d. 600 left. What is to over
come it? The only chance for
Wells seems to be that this
80, 900 shall not vote, staying at
4 home in sullenness and discon-

in office. A vote against tn
amended Constitution is a vot'
| for Wells.
Your Reporter-'Colonel,
am pleased to see that the
- newspaper has at las
come out for Walker.
| Mosby-sYes, and he heads
his article, 1--WE surrender.
Rather late to be surrendering
For myself, I surrendered fou1
years ago, and thought [ did i
in good faith, in April, '65.
Wells won his brevet by gal
liant services in capturing me
in Alexandria the August fol
lowing, while I was paying g
visit to some ladies Of that
! city
l. Reporter-'lt is rather diff
cult to have to change from
front to rear on this Constitu-
ton
Mosby-'Yes, 1 found no
difficulty in bringing my .judg-
ment to the conclusion that it
was the true policy to adopt
the course I now advise, but
my pride held out some time
after my judgment was con-
WINGED. 1t now seems strange
that any reasonable man can
entertain a doubt as to his
plain duty
Reporter-'You ought to
take the stump; your advice
would have great weight upon
the young men of the State.
Mosby-'I have to go to
Richmond soon, but on MY re-
turn from there to Fauquier, |
mean to do SO, as l think it
the duty of every man in cri-
sis like this to use whatever in
fuence he possesses for the
good of his State
/ could not help thinking as
| looked upon his smiling face
and heard him counsel modera-
ton and wisdom, that here is a
hero upon whose brow history
will place weird laurels, whose
deeds of daring will be woven
into romance and poe try,
through all coming ages, and
yet he deems it no3 humiliation
and disgrace to accept a situa-
ton which he cannot avoid,
and is willing himself and is
counselling others to make an
effort to save his State from
the ruin and desolation which
threaten her. Ye men who
never periled your lives as he
did at the calling of Virginia,
how can you say without a
blush that it is unmanly and
degrading to follow where
Mosby leads!

Wont Register.

There are a few white men in
this city, who declare that they
will not register, and therefore
will not vote in the pending
election. The public know
them, and attention is directed
to them. They should know
how their course is spoken of,
and how unkindly their fellow
citizens think of such conduct.
While it is conceded that they
have the right to do as they
please in this matter their
avowed neutrality is evil spok-
en- of, as it ought to be. 1t is
as bad as taking the clad
oath it is worse. 1t is Civ
ing 'aid and comfort to the
enemy. 1t amounts in each
case, to half a vote for Wells and
his negro associate on the tick
ct and 1T is hall a vote tor the
band of plunderers who already
have their grasp fixed upon the
spoils, which this city is sup
posed to have in reservation
for Kelso, Taliaferro, Burton,
Flynn, Garland, and their as
sociates. 1t is a proclamation
of neutrality a refusal to
shoulder a musket, while the
Cloths and Vandals are thun-
dering at our very gates ! Call
you this backing your friends ?
Is this the way that white men

tent. This is provided against
and shut out by the present
aspects Of the canvass. The
State is on fire. The people
are profoundly moved. They
will come almost to a man. -
There are a few thousand
unreached yet, but they will
come.
We shall beat Wells. What
the man counts on we cannot
see. Why the negroes in
some parts of the State are in
confusion. They are not the
organized unit they were in
81. The Walker Republicans
will carry them in some coun-
ties. Is is conceded that DR..
Harris is beaten. The white
radicals will not vote for him.
And the discovery of this fact
will dissatisfy some Of the ne
gro voters.
Then let us load our shoot
ing-irons at these registration
offices, and march to this as
certained victory-and
Remember who you are to cope
withal:
A sort of vagabonds, rascals and
ruhaways,
A scum of Bretagnes, and base lackey
peasants
Whom their o'ercloy'd country vomits
forth

destruction.

Letter From j. #. Lewis, Esq.

LYNwooD, June -, 1869.
DR.. G.. X. Gilmer Chairman
True Republican Committee
My Dear Sir-Your COM
munication expressing the
views Of your committee in re-
gard to the propriety Of my
withdrawal from the canvass
for Congress in this district is
before me.
You will have seen by the
telegram published in the
Richmond papers Of the 10th
instant that I have already
adopted by the course indicated
the committee.
You do me no more than
justice when you say that I am
not willing to permit any sell
fish consideration to jeopardize
the success Of the 'True Repub-
llcan State Ticket.
An earnest desire to save
my beloved State from the dire
consequences of secession, led
me (standing alone in the
Convention) to refuse to sign
the ordinance which sought to
sever her relations with the
government of our fathers. -
The hope being instrumental in
uniting our people in an ear
nest effort to restore Virginia
to her place in the Union un-
der the reconstruction acts of
Congress, is, | assure you, my
only motive for agreeing to dis
regard my private wishes and
interests, and to enter upon
this canvass,
Having to-day ridden on
horseback twenty-eight miles,
to speak for the Walker ticket
is a sufficient excuse for not
writing more at length.
We had at Conrad's store
to-day large gathering of the
people. A good spirit prevail
ed, and old Rockingham will
do her duty on the 9th of July.
Very respectfully,
.. JOHN f. LEWIS.

EXITING AT LEESBUklG.

'Gol. Walker had a splendid
ovation and great triumph at
Leesburg, on last Monday. He
addressed a great crowd of fine
looking men, and was received
with great gratificatien and ap-
plause. He was followed by
Lewis Mckenzie, John l..
Marye, B. B. Douglass, aud
Judge Thomas, and by Mr..
Gilman, Of the Wing, the cor
respondent Of which paper
gives long and interesting
narrative of the incidents of the
day, from among which we
copy the following:
COLONEL MosBY ENL1s TED.
] was gratified to notice Col
onel j. S. Mosby moving from
group to group on the court
green and urging the people
to vote for Walker and the ex-
purgated Constitution, as the
only means Of escaping the
evils which now threaten us.
A gentleman remarked: why,
Colonel, year ago you talked
differently
Mosby-'Yes; | swore |
wouldn't register, but | think
differently, and had rather be
right than consistent. Then
we had our own judges, our
own county officers, and no one
of them was required to take
the iron-clad oath.
Citizen-'You think we
ought to vote for the expurga-
ted Constitution with negro
suffrage and the county orga-
nization clause
Mosby-'C Certainly; negro
suffrage cannot possibly impose
upon US worse man than
Wells, and by voting down the
Constitution, you vote to dis
franchise yourselves, and to
keep the State under the rule
of pet-baggers.
Citizen-'How is that?'
Mosby-'Why, the concur
rent resolution passed by the
two houses of Congress last
winter, prohibits anybody from
holding even the most trivial
office who cannot swallow the
iron-clad oath. This gives all
the offices to carpet baggers;
and how can you get them out
Of their clutches and have the
offices filled by capable and
honest citizens until the State
is reconstructedp and how can
you reconstruct it except by the
adoption of the expurgated
Constitution, which I admit
deserves all the abuse it has
received? For my own part,
| cannot see any sense in vot-
ing for Walker and against the
expurgated Constitution, be-
cause, if you defeat the latter,

The PARTY AT RYE BEAcH.-Iu our "Brief
Jottings' yesterday morning we said that the
superintendent of the roads east of Boston,
with their ladies, were invited to the Ocean
House, Rye Beach, by invitation of Supern-
tendent Prescott, of the Eastern Railroad. We
should have said of all the roads terminating at
Boston. 1
Some time ago an association was formed,
composed of the Superintendent of the differ
ent railroads, which meets every little while
for the purpose of listening to the opinions
formed upon topics for the improvement of the
different roads. Every Superintendent is in
terested in some feature which he thinks can
be improved, and much valuable information is
derived from these meetings The machinery of
railroads, construction Of depots, arrangement
of depots, and other important matters are dis
cussed. The party left Boston on special
train, visited the machine shops at East Bos-
ton, made stop at Salem, aud had pleasa Mt
dinner at the Ocean House. Superintendent
