FARMvILLE, Feb. 16, 1871.
Edttors.D Dispatch In your paper of yes
terday's date find letter from this place,
the writer of which takes upon himself the
responsibility of saying that the citizens OF
Farmville have it in their power, with the
assistance of other votes, to move the
county seat to Farmville, and intend doing
80 and that without regard to the rights
or interests of the people of other parts OF
the county. This writer cannot be citizen
of our town; il he is, surely he knowingly
misreprescnts the good people of our VII.
lage.
We do want the county seat moved to
Farmvllle, but not to the injury of others.
We believe the removal will be benefit,
and not an injury, to the people at large in
its ultimate results.
would also remark that the writer OF
the letter alluded to cannot know much
about the tobacco trade of Farmville. We
do not receive the entire crop Of Virginia
tobacco in Farmville. The siXty-fve mill
lions Of pounds 60 to Richmond, and we
get fve-not sixty-five. AS to his bar-room
and other tixings, we know nothing.

railroad wars, it is a relief to look at the
ladies occasionally. How very pretty and
wealthy they all appear these days! The
prevailing fashions are very peculiar. They
make every young lady look to be very rich.
Indeed we always regarded the dear crea-
lures as each intrinsically worth million;
but now these fashions represent them as
extrinsically worth at least half that sum.
If this be so, we know they are in their

Referring to the letter Of our correspon'

that whilst we do not reject any communi.
cation merely because it does not express
our own opinions, we do not deem it wise
to fill our columns with articles discussing
settled questions. The Constitution re-
qaares system of free schools to be estab.
lished. The General Assembly is bound by
oath to respect this mandate. Besides,
Congress will certainly tax US to establish
common schools if we fail to do it ourselves.
Therefore, we think tia waste Of time and
space TO raise objections to the system it.
