THE FIELD or MANASSAS.

A correspondent of the Charleston NeDS,
after sketching the appearance of the great
battlefield during the war, has the following
upon its present condition.
From this terrible waste and ruin let us
turn to a fairer sight-the Manassas of day
1t is pretty village of over hundred houses,
grouped about the depot, with broad streets
III good condition, lined with residences,
stores, smithies, and all the offices of a con-
siderable population. Many of these houses
are neat and tasty, some are even elegant,
and the hotel is pleasant, spacious one in
deed, while queenly religion has built her
temple on grassy lawn at the end of fine
street
The inhabitants are mostly from the North
"a sturdy, hard working yeomanry, bringing
down those habits of industry and sobriety
which have made garden land of even cold
and rocky New England. Their principles are
also of the North, but this does not seem to
trouble the COED Virginians who have settled
among them, for they are not making a
political colony. They came down on the
borders of the sunny South to make homes
for themselves, not to become office-holders.
So the fields, as far as the eye can reach, are
under cultivation, the young wheat is break
ing through the ground, and all the busy
activities of the farm are in cheerful progress.
Young trees are slowly growing up to miti-
gate and soften the present bald aspect of the
place, the germs of future gardens brighten
here and there in spots of floral brilliance
and beauty, new houses are rising on newly
acquired estates for the homes of future
generations of thrifty Virginians, and smart
little local paper dispenses the tidings of the
day, and indulges In occasional strains of
prophetic enthusiasm which would be worthy
of Duluth or Omaha.
