LETTER ERoN ITRG1NZA.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April llth, 1871.
TO the Editor Of the Journal:
After SO long silence find time to ask par
don, and, during days leisure in this little
city, to make few jottings to you. This Is
emphatically an inland city of apparently but
little enterprise, having decayed appear
ance. The University is located here and
am told is the source of large share Of the
vitality of the place The surrounding coun-
isEery sfne,, presenting its rich valleys and
cultivated hillsides in pleasant contrast. Near
by in full view is the old mansion and farm

Monticello being its familiar name The
and hustle of a combined "Circus and Men
agerie." IH3a i6T t-tUF-#T4
For the past month we have felt but little of
the chill of winter. The peach orchards
have dropped their beautiful bloom and the
apple and cherry trees are frolcking in their
gapdy attire. The prospect of fruit of all
kinds is very encouraging. Farmers are re-
joicing also in having an unusually fine crop
of wheat. This is always sown in the fall
here and now it stands from six to ten inches
in height. and the magnificent fields of it in
this section give the country rich appear
ance. The subject of Public Free School
instruction. is receiving the earnest support
its merits demand in this part al the State.
Politically we are sure Virginia will show
herself largely Republican if she can ever
get an honest vote announced to the world.
Mayor Cahoon of Richmond is now released
on bail, having recently had another trial,
for conviction. This is a clear case of poiti-
cal persecution. Public sentiment is largely in
his favor, although there is a quibble or tech
nicality of the law by which he is thus severe
ly prosecuted. He is now the legal Mayor of
Richmond and the people will trust set him
right in time. There has been great rejoic-
ings in the Democratic papers over the New
Hampshire election, but they have been quite
silent about Connecticut, turning their atten
ton to eulogizing Summers unfortunate speech
in Congress. One thing is sure, the Demo
Gratis will make desperate effort to gain the
control of the government in 1872 by fair or
foul means, as they will not scruple to do any
thing to accomplish their wish. If Sumner
can be made a tool of by them, they will
readily take him. There never was time in
the history Of our country when the laws of
Congress were needed to be so very plain and
severe for the protection of the rights of
loyal men, and then to have those efficient to
that end. SAMUEL II. JONES

The BANKRUPT SALE.-The great
bankruptcy sale by Mr.. Wickham, on
Main street. noticed from time to time
in this paper, still continues. We have
said that at the rate goods were going
off, and the large attendance from town
and country, they would all be sold
last week. We learn now that not
withstanding the sales exceed S25, 900,
there still remains considerable resi-
due. As the end approaches the agent
seems to grow reckless and determined
to close out, and permits goods TO be
sold on any sort of bid; half price or
quarter price, they are pushed off. At
this galloping rate the sales cannot last
many more days, and while they do
continue better bargains than ever can
be had 1t is curious to see the effect
Of low prices upon men and women.
Some who last week emptied their
pockets of cash in exchange for dry
goods because they were so cheap, are
seen again this week, having replenish-
ed their cash, buying more Of the same
sort at half the rates deemed so low
last week. In this way many are lay
ing in supplies for the whole year, buy,
ing unreasonable as well as seasonable
goods, providing for next winter be-
cause, if this opportunity is neglected,
the same goods when wanted next win
ter would cost 100 per cent. more. 1t is
wise for those who can spare the means
thus to provide for future necessities
let others 60 and do likewise.

the Abbey of Glastonbury, and employ

great enemy of souls, foreseeing his fu-
ture greatness, tried in various ways 10

sion seized the fend by the nose with a
pair of red-hot tongs. AT the age Of 81
he restored Glastonbury Abbey, then in

THE CHARTERS RoAD.-The formal
opening OF the Charters Valley rail
road from Pittsburgh to Washington,
Pa, was celebrated yesterday in the
ancient borough with great rejoicing.
Flags were hung out, business was gen
orally suspended, the people put on their
holiday attire, and the whole town
looked festive and happy. The train
from Pittsburgh was composed of four,
teen cars packed full Of enthusiastic ex,
cursionsts and drawn by two gaily
decked locomotives. Upon their ar,
rival at the depot they were met by
procession Of citizens on foot and on
horseback and in carriages and marched
to the Town Hall. a splendid brass
band accompanied the excursion from
Pittsburgh and the Washington band
also occupied a place in the procession
and assisted in furnishing excellent
music for the occasion. The number OF
persons in procession was variously estl,
mated at from two thousand to three
thousand. At the town hall, addresses
were listened to by all who could obtain
standing room, and the importance Of
the great work accomplished was fully
discussed. The generous hospitality of
the Washington people provided dinner
for many hundreds OF the invited
guests and all seemed to enjoy the &C.
casion to the top Of their bent. The
Wheeling people who were present
could not refrain from rejoicing with
their Washington friends Of the in
creased prosperity the new road will in
evitably bring, though they felt that the
completion Of the railroad to Pittsburgh
will be apt to deprive Wheeling OF a
considerable portion Of the trade which
has heretofoee been brought to our city
by the uDjustly abused Hempfeld.
