The DRuGGIsTs.-The most scandalous thing
lately done by the internal revenue ''spes and
informers' is the prosecution of the druggists of
Richmond for falling, from oversight TO put
stamps on few walls of medicinal or other pre-
parations put up by them. Yesterday, Mr.. S. T.
Dove was fined 500 for this offence, and other
respectable druggists will be arraigned to-day
When will these outrages cease 2--IVhig.
The answer is plain-When the drug
gists cease to violate the law.

THE FAIR.--The news at the office Of
the State Agricultural Society this morning
was of the same tenor of that published by
US for the past three or four days. The

extensive than many few weeks ago were
prepared to witness.

The ANzEIGER ON THE DISPATCH.
We clip the following from the Aazeiycf OF
this morning:
The Dispatch, which, not even for the interest
of the purity, would notice what we said in re-
gard to the German candidate, William I.ove..-
stein-this same Dispatch prints long articles
about the improvement of the james, and the
building of tunnel through Church Hill, TO Sc
cure to the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad Il con
nection with the James at Rockets. 1t is de-
sirabe to know whether the Dispcdcd puts itself
TO so much trouble purely on account of the sui
ject matter.

The DRUGGIST CASES. s.-The druggist
cases were all disposed of in the United
States Circuit Court this morning, as will
be seen by our report.
There was no effort made in any of them,
we believe, OH the part of the prosecution,
to show a criminal intent, but merely to
fix the responsibility under the law for
negligence.

Especial Correspondence of the Journall
LETTER FROM MANASSAS.
MANASSAS, Oct. %,

En- EhONh SEAS f. o.
MANASSAS, Oct. %, 1871.
Yesterday was busy day with our par
ty. In the forenoon we went to Haymarkct,
one of the outlying towns of Prince Will
liam county. The morning was glorious,
and the ride over these magnificent plains,
with the sharp peak of the Bull Run range
rising grandly in the distance, inspiring and
delightful. We found considerable gath
ering at the hotel from the country, ready
to hear what was to be said in behalf Of
the Republican candidates.
Judge Willoughby led off with calm,
clear, convincing speech, and was followed
by Mr.. Rounds, the Republican candidate
for Delegate of Prince William, one of
the most vigorous, energetic and plucky
Republicans we have met anywhere, who
has calamity upheld the cause here against
the fiercest opposition, spoke next in the
off-hand style, which the people like.
He was very happy in his manner and
matter, and made some telling hits upon
the Democracy. The last attempt at a
Republican meeting here, was broken up
in a row by the gallant Conservative
politicians. Our meeting was quiet and
everything passed of pleasantly, showing
the people.
Returning, we stopped at Gainesville,
and looked after matters there, enlistng
some friends in looking after the registry.
Passing on to Manassas, we observed fine
fields well fenced, and often bearing good
crops. t.iF ~ fia'i 1875 f4.i'ie fstH
The grass, though short from drouth,
seemed to cover the ground with a good
sod the wheat was up and looked finely,
and the standing corn spoke well of this
region for farming country. The timber
which has survived the war in sufficient
quantity for home supply, is tall, stout and
fine, aitording some of the most beautiful
specimens of open forest lands in the State.
The surface is rolling and rises with mag
nifcent swells like the billowy prairies of
Northern Illinois, dotted with island
groves in the same picturesque manner.
Manassas is located in the centre of a
plateau which declines in all directions
from the town for many miles, giving a
vast range of vision. On the main road
few fine farms are seen, but most of the
land is open common and is owned by
non-residents. 1t is offered at prices rang
ing from FIVE to fifteen dollars per acre, and
no takers.
We are told that three years ago every
train brought purchasers, but we saw many
a man who would gladly sell at loss, and
others who were renting their lands and
going back North, because they could not
live in country destitute of schools, and
where the Conservative influences are OPP
posed to all those improvements which
make life in any country tolerable to civil
lied men, A few violent men. influencing

{ Mrs. MYRA CLARKE GAINES. Mrs.
Myra Clarke Gaines is at present engaged
in suit somewhat different from disputed
land titles. On February IS, 1859, Con-
gress passed law allowing Mrs. Gaines a
pension equal to half the pay per month
that Major General Gaines was entitled to
at the time of his death, which was 5000
per month. On motion of Senator Seward
a proviso was inserted and adopted which
declared that the amount of the said pen
sion should not exceed the sum of $50 per
month. 49,.
The compilers of the United States
statutes, in copying the original bill,
omitted the lines applicable to the proyiso.
The Commissioner of Pensions, in making
out this pension, has always been guided
by the terms of the original manuscript bill
on file at the State Department, and re-
fused to allow Mrs. Gaines over $50 per
month. She is now, through her counsel,
contesting the authority for this action,
claiming that she is entitled to slO0 per
month, as provided foi in the statute-book.

boy about nine years of age, the son o
Mr.. Ludwig Lang, who resides over the
canal, mysteriously disappeared. Search
was made for him everyw where, but with
out avail, and he was given up for dead
Time passed on, aud the occurrence had
almost been forgotten, when, week or two
ago, card appeared in this paper from
the Postmaster at Saylorsburg, Pennsyl
yania, announcing that boy, supposed
to belong to Cincinnati, had been found
near that place working on farm. The
card was copied into one of the German
papers, and there met the eye of Mr.
Lang. He addressed letter to the Post
master, and received reply which fully
satisfied him that he had obtained a clue
to his lost Que. He again wrote, asking
that the boy be returned to this city, and
received in reply the following letter:
SAYLoRsBURG, PA, July l6, 1871.
nMr. Ludwig Lang:

him very well, and would like to keep
him a while longer.
''If you want him to come home you
can send draft for the amount of his
fare, aud few dollars for spending money
on the road.
The boy was coaxed away from home
BY bcggar- woman, and he used to beg
