Letter from Fredericksburg
pondeuce OF the Richmond Dispatch. j


FREDERICKSBURG, Aug. s, 1871.
The Conservatives of Spotsylvanla met
after the adjournment of court on Monday
and nominated delegates to the convention
called for the 30th inst. King George county
has appointed delegates, and Stafford will
appoint hers on 18th inst.
The delegates from Spotsylyania are
John Howisor, r. II. billiard, B. Ii. james,
and DR.. John W. Davis. Alternates were
appointed, and Major J. II. Kelly, our
present faithful and efficient delegate to the
General Assembly, was authorized TO rep
resent the county in cuse the delegation
fails to attend.
The public mind Of Fredericksburg is
vet excited at present concerning some re-
cent legislation by the City Council affect
ing the inalenabc right of every citizen to
keep rs many worthless, bowling dogs on
his lot US he chooses. This question has
excited hot controversy, i'll which all
classes have been embroied. The anti
dog party raised the cry of "mad dog"
and for some days the police went about
armed and shot every dog found ut large.
But reaction occurred, and the friends Of
the canine race now hold the field. Just
before this excitement arose there was a
strong movement against bells on town
cows: but this was not effective, on ac-
CONT Of an unfortunate diversion against
ailanthus trees.
The matter OF greatest interest at present
is proposed change in our market regula-
tious. This controversy has called into eX-
istence a strong and intelligent free-trade
party, who are opposed TO all laws restrict
ing trade to any particular time and place.
The Council will hold special meeting to-
morrow morning, early, to dispose Of this
important subject. While our city fathers
are Iaboring with these grave duties, trade
is brisk, wheat and sumac are coming in
freely, and the pavements are almost strewn
with watermelons, cantelopes, NC.
The weather is intensely hot, but the
general health is good.
Rev. DIR. Jeter, of your city, delivered
two excellent sermons at the Baptist
Church on Sunday last. Rev. MIR. Barten,
of Norfolk, OBLIGATED at the Episcopal
Church, which is yet without rector, no
answer having been received from Mr..
Murdaugh, of Maryland, who was recently
