HIGHWAY RoDBERY.-A gentleman by
the name of John J. Harper, living near
SCOTS Hill, while on his way to market at
this place yesterday morning, about day
light, was set upon by four men, when
about miles from this city, and robbed
of $191 in money. Mr.. Harper states that
the men suddenly came upon him, one Of
them stopping the horse, while two others
approached him on each side, the fourth
party bringing up at the rear of the cart.
had seized his horses bride to release it,
or he would strike him, when all of the
men jumped upon him and threw him to
the ground, while they rified his pockets of
$191.
Mr.. Harper was on his way to the city,
with the above amount and load of peas,
with the expectation of being able to pay a
debt of 5000. The parties who attacked
him had black faces, but he is uncertain
whether they were white or colOred men.
Sheriff Schenck was notified, and inmedi-
ately summoned posse and started out to
endeavOr to discover and capture the par
ties, but, at a late hour last evening, had
not returned.

cilievoIIS.

BY the treaty of Washington, the terml-
nation of the rebellion (so-called) is fixed
upon the 9th of April, 1865. According to
a recent decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, the war was nSt OVerllntll
April 2, 1866. Judging from the Congress
ional policy, it is not yet over, SO far at
least, as one of the parties to the great
struggle is concerned. The victorious COM
batants still flourish the sword, and IN
duige in all the heat and passion OF ia
grant hostilities, with a combined cxhibi-
lion of the mOck-herOic and the atrOclOuS,
with junction of the braGgart declaration
of Falstafi over the dead body of Percy,
and the savagery of the Indians, who
would scalp his victim after disabling him.
Within the HOW nearly Sccen years that
have transpired since tho last hostile guns
were fired at AppomattoN, other nations
have been at war, have fought and slau9li-
tered each other, and have shaken hands
and buried emnity, when the work OF blooo
and nassiou was over. Men of different
races have encountered each other on 1lelds
of carnage, and, their conflicts ended, II
they have not forgotten that they were foes,
have, at least, had the courage ana Ihe
nagnanimity not to Treasure venseful

10 he Editor If the State Journal.
Some years of careful observation, and
so:ae unpleasant experience, have brought
the conclusion TO my mind tn6p 9s,E9rn
man Tor "Yankee, In the yernaeaiar, J ,aa-
not have a fair trial before a jury in irgin-
ia. This conclusion has been very reluctant
ly arrived at, but the memorable logic of
facts has prevented the reach of any other.
That it is true is instinctively felt by every
lawyer and other person familiar with
court preceedings--as proofof which see the
movements of the respective council em-
ployed for and against Yankee. The
first move of the Yankees council is to
dispense with a jury, while his opponent
is just as prompt to insist upon one.
This shows that it is with the jury, and
not with the court, that the Yankees law
yer is afraid to entrust his clients cause !;
and thus the seat of the difficulty is pointed
out. How to apply remedy is the ques-
ton. Juries in Virginia, as a general rule,
seem to be drawn from the more ignorant
classes of the community and such class
es, all tho world over, are ever the mos,
prejudiced, bigoted and parrow-minded,
where strangers arc concerned. 1t is there
fore in vain to seek rectremedy through
any influence capable of being brought to
bear on the jury. ONE.

sheep Rassing-Dog Tax, &c.


TO He Editor of tie State Journal:
| was not surprised at the fate of the
dog tax in the Assembly. Observation
of the efforts made in other states-(Penn-
sylvania, Ohio, &C., where the she Q o-grow-
ing interest is much stronger than in Vir-
ginia)-for more than quarter of CEN
fury, has satisfied me of the futility of
attempting to lessen the number Of dogs by
taxation. Il may as as well be given up at
once as hopeless. The law Cannot be made
to help the sheep-grower. He must pro-
tect himself.
have tried raising sheep in Virginia.
and from several years. experience believe
it to be the only branch Of agriculture that
can be made to pay. | always lost in grow
ing wheat, and certainly never made any
thing on corn. But my sheep cleared a
hundred per cent. on the capital invested
every year and if had not broken down
in attempting to grow grain | could have
made living off flock of two hundred
sheep.
For the benefit of those who would
profit by the experience Of others, give
these conclusions as GOLDEN RULES. I'm
less they are adhered to, sheep had better
be let alone.
III IL not worth while TO raise sheep In
Virginia with less than from one hundred
to five hundred acres as range, and with
proper management sheep to the acre
can be carried. The sheep must be Sc
cured every night in yard inaccessible to
dogs. A trusty hired man with his family
should LIVE in the yard, provided with a
gun and good watch dog, and all depre-
dators, whether on two or four legs. Prov
ling ound, should be shot on sight. 1t is
rarely that sheep are disturbed in day ii me
by dogs, and it is easy enough to protect
them at night. Sheep can soon be trained
to come up Of themselves, or shepherds
dog will bring them. Ifworthless dogs in
fest the ncighborhood, strychnine should
be used.
say again, the Legislature can and will
do nothing for the sheep grower. His saliva
ton is in his own hands. If he does not
take the necessary precautions to protect
himself, he will certainly be ruined by
thieves and dogs. Less than one hundred
sheep will hardly pay for the necessary
precauti0n EXPERIENCE.
