GEN. KEMPER AT HARRTsoNBURG.-The Har-
risonburg papers speak in the most compliment
tary terms of the speech delivered in that place
on Monday of last week by Gen. Jas. L. KEN
per, one of the electors at large on the Conser-
Yative ticket for this State. Maj. Newman, of
Page county, supporter of Grant under the
thin disguise of a ''straight-out Democrat" had
the temerity to meet him in discussion-the re-
suit was, that he received very severe and de-
served castigation. The Ole Commonwealth
says: ''His hide was literally torn off," Of
Gen. Kemper's reply to Maj. Newman, the
Rockingham Register says:
I'VE have heard great many speeches in our
lifetime-we have seen and read a great deal
about wound-up people-but of all the skin
nings We ever heard or read about, this ex-
ceedcd them. 1t was perfectly horrid. The
fearful caterwauling- inflicted on the young
"straight-out" excited the COMMUNICATION OF the
entire crowd, and many had it in their hearts to
cry out to Gen. Kemper, spare him"

The above tables are intended to exhibit the
population of Augusta county between the ages
of and q. The first Census was taken by the
Clerks of the District Boards in 181O-the second
by the Township Assessors in 1872. By compar.
ing the tables it would seem that in several dis
tricts the school population is smaller than it was
two years ago. and in the whole county there
are now 239 less than at that time. One of three
too many children in 1870, or the Assessors have
failed to count all in 1872 or the popu-
lation of the county has diminished. Which
ever be true, the unfortunate effect of this dimi-
mutton is, that in the distribution of the State
School Funds our county will receive less mo-
ney this year than it did last.
The re-assessment of lands in Eastern Virgin
la will reduce the aggregate amount of State
which our county will receive In 1871 the peo-
pie of the county voted county tax of 81 cents
on the 800, and in most of the townships dis
trict tax of cent On the 500. The county tax
is used for paying teachers and supplementin1g
the salary of the County Superintendent while
the district tax is appropriated to building and
repairing school houses, &c. sc. The county
tax of last year raised $7,5l5 81 The last Legisa-
ture made it the duty of the Supervisors to levy
the county and district taxes. allowing them to
go as high as II cents on the 800 for each. The
County School Board asked that the maximum
amount should be levied and also that dog tax
be imposed the proceeds OF which would be adj
ded to the county fund for paying teachers, &c.
The Supervisors decided upon county and
district lax of cents each and a dog tax of 80
cents per head.
It is estimated that the county tax will raise
SIS 908. 25, to which the proceeds of the dog tax,
supposed by the Treasurer to be about $500,
must be added. This will give S. 70825 the
the county fund last year was $7011.3 8.
After deducting the salary of the County Su-
perintendent, $3.50, the former amount will be
distributed among the different districts accor-

MORE IMPosTERs.-We have beer informed
that a couple of persons are going about in this
County imposing upon and getting money from
the credulous and simple by taking list of their
property which was destroyed during the war
and making the parties believe that they will be
paid for it by the Government. They are en-
gagged in putting money into their pockets and
making Radical votes. Those who pay them
anything may whistle for their money, and have
the modification of having been imposed upon.
1t is astonishing how easily some people are
humbugged and feeced.
