Bushwhacker Mosby.

Yesterday, while riding in the Penn
sylyania Avenue cars, who should enter
bnt Col. Mosby, late c. S. A.? From
the fact that he carried in his hand a
small black valise, on which was printed
in large white letters, "Col. John ;.
Mosby," everybody in the cars was per
force made acquainted with the counte-
nance of this notorious bushwhacker and
cowardly murderer. He comes to Wash
ington very frequently, puts up at Wh'
ards and attracts great attention. lie
seldom hears any good of himself from
the conversing groups at the hotel, for
some of his victims are generally about

man heart forgives The men murdered
in cold blood by this wretch are legion,
and vet he visits Washington, Philadel-
pha and New York, and his Democrat
ic brethren receive him with distinguish
ed honors! One of his dastardly acts
alone, which | never call to mind with
out shudder, should bring him to the
gallows and an ignominious death. In
the fall of 1864, when in the valley OF
the Shenandoah, with the prince of sol
diers, Gen. Sheridan, n number of brutal
acts, perpetrated by this tiend, came I'M
der my own personal observation. The
one, however, to which | particularly re-
fer, was the hanging of seven Union
prisoners near Berryville. Gen. Custer
had a few days previous executed a reb-
ell spy near Middletown. This so exas-
perated Mosby that he determined to be
avenged, and calling out his prisoners,
he made them cast lots for death by
hanging. Capt. Brewster OF Sheridan's
staff, was among the number, and was
one of the lucky fellows drawing blank

though not winning card, was a very

The Richmond (Va.) Wing, of a
late date, says that there can be
but little doubt that the cotton,
rice and sugar fields Of the South
ern States will gradually draw off
from Virginia large portion Of
her black population. This move
ment has already commenced on
quite a large scale. The fact that
Virginia has passed from under
negro domination, while the great
strength of that race is in the
cotton States, will help to swell
the volume of this exodus. So
that year after year we may. ex-
to see the negro population of
Virginia perceptibly diminish. Ii
this removal of the negroes south
ward shall go on, the time will
come, and is not far distant, when
Virginia will be brought to a
stand-still for want of labor, I'M
less meanwhile we can draw white
settlers here who will buy our
lands and bring their own labor
with them. The prospect is, that
before many years shall hive pass
ed away, Virginia will present al
most an unmixed white popula.
ton, and will resemble her North.
ern neighbors. If she can avoid
the shock of a sudden and abrupt
loss of her labor, make her white
accessions Offset her black losses,
and thus pass gradually through
the inevitable change, it may DO
all the better for her.

As the productive sources of
the South are developed, that
section becomes more and more
willing to welcome manufac-
turing industry, so sternly re-
PEELED in most sections previous
to the war. There is a growing
disposition at the South to
work up a large portion Of the
surplus cotton, instead of ship
ping it abroad and importing
! goods. A Memphis paper
proves that a cotton factory in
that city will clear $50 Is more
on every bale of cotton woven
| into cloth, than can be realised
by the mills OF Lowell, Mass.
and that 5000 bales at Mem
phis would produce $24S, 900 in
one year, against $4,000 Of the
mills of Lowell, built at nearly
the same cost. The Augusta
Ga, factory has declared 9
quarterly dividend of FIVE pei
cent, and the Graniteville Man
ufacturing Company, in thu
same State, a dividend of $1(
a share. These facts show wha

involving Confederate con-
tracts have just been decided
in the Circuit Court of Lynch
burg. J Judge Boiling presiding.
One was that of Wood VS.. Mer-
iwether to recover the face val
ne of three bonds Of $4,000
each, given by the defendant
in 1858 for a certain tract of
land, payable in one, two and
three years. The defendant
pleaded a Confederate transac-
ton and sought to have the
debt scaled accordingly. The
jurys however, under the in
struetions of the Judge that
they mightrender q verdict for
the value Of the land, allowed
the plaintiff $4,000 in gold,
with interest. The other case
was that Of A. r. Willis VS.. w.
81. Ross, being a suit ON three
bonds of 1872 each, given in
January, 1863, and payable in
four. eight and twelve months.
The verdict in this case was
that the bonds be scaled to the
value of Confederate money al
the time that they severally fell
due.
