mock is suffering greatly from drought. 1he
mill streams are nearly all dry, and none have
water enough to grind even peek OF corn, and,
although, one of the best watered counties in
the State, serious apprchensions are being felt
about water for the farm stock Many persons
are having their wells made deeper, others dig
ing new ones The corn crop that promised so
finely two weeks ago must fail, without rain in
week. A very narrow strip of the northern
end of the county had fine rain on Tuesday
evening Mr.. D; H. BaggerIy, one of our most
entcrprising millers, has added a steam engine
to his -four mill, which will prove great bless
ing to the county. He runs it night and day,
and wagons bring grain from Is to 20 miles
around.

night. He congratulated them upon the privil-
eyes they have obtained, and secured, and
which could never be restrained or limited. !"
He said, however, that the work had not been
entirely completed, and that his civil rights
bill must yet be enacted. y He told them that
his life had been dedicated to their service =
that they must insists upon their rights-and
that ''they must never vote for any man who
was not true to them." This was the sum and

VOLUNTARY ASSESSMENTS. 1t is stated
in the Washington correspondence of the Baltl
more Sun that "a loud and bitter complaint
comes up from the government printing office
about the assessment of employees there for
political purposes The paper was headed by
Mr. Clamp with subscription Of 800, and
William Cole, colored laborer, was then dl
rected to carry the paper to each printer; and
to saw to each one that he was requested to
put his name down for not less than five dol
lars Some Of the printers refused to sub
scribe. Mr.. Clapp says the printing office is
not department, and he is therefore not
amenable to the rules governing the civil SER

LAND OWNERS OF IRELAND. "A return has

1882 own less than 100 acres. These, of
course, are resident and SO are $3.50 more,
owning an average of 1000 acres apiece while

THE RADICAL MEETING at Fredericksburg
last Thursday, which was to have been great
one, was a poor affair. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Dr. Griffith, the postmaster, DR..
Mills of the Radical State Committee, COL
Shields, Mr.. J. H. Gilmer, and Major Jack
son, of Columbia" The conclusion according
to the Virginia Star, was as follows:
The solemn DR.. Mills, after Maj. jackson
had taken his seat, led forward Col. Wm.
Fl. Brown, of Stafford The Col came up to
the railing like lamb led to the slaughter, aud
was greeted with hearty roar of laughter. The
Col. showed that he was very apt pupil 10
the new school to which he was admitted only
a few weeks ago and went to work damning
Greeley and praising Grant as fervently as a
born Grant man. Some cruel fellow from the
part Of the ground occupied principally by
colored people, knocked all the breath out OF
the Col. by inquiring about that bill he intro,
duced in the Legislature before the war, to sell
all the free negroes into slavery. The Col:
said he was not here to talk OF that, and the
crowd roared with laughter to see the old gen.
tleman so terribly nonplussed. He would tain
have retired just then, but being re assured by
several cries of "go on, Willie" he took and
discussed the knotty question of the govern
ment finances"
1t is added that another of the converts ex-
pected to be- present was not there. "Io the
credit of COL j. NJ Taiaferro, of Stafford, who
was announced as Que OF the speakers and who
had accepted we will state that he was seen
urging his steed homewardS at an early hour OF
the evening IN OF for jim was his motto.
The Col. announces that he will cordially sup
port Maj. Braxton for Congress.
