FIRE THIS AFTERNooN.-The alarm
of fire little before four o'clock this after
noon was caused by the partial burning of
the building at athe corner of Cary and
Sixth streets, belonging to L. d. Pretlow.
Of Franklin depot, Southampton county,
Va, and occupied by William jackson,
roof of the building was en-
tirely destroyed, and portion of the
stock, tools, &C., damaged.
jackson has an insurance of 81 500 on
his stock in the Lynchburg Banking and
Insurance company. Pretlow's loss will
amount to several hundred dollars. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
sparks from the fire in the building.

COMMITTEE ON BROAD STREET.
The special committee appointed at the last
meeting of the council to take up and con-
slider the Broad-street question, will meet
in the council chamber at six o'clock this
afternoon for that purpose. The committee
consists of Messrs. Bargamin, Chester
man, Higgins, Lipscombe, Oliver, and VIM.
English. 1t seems to us that it would be
advisable for the city to purchase the depot
property at its assessed value, reserve suf-
ficient space for a new city hall building,
and sell the remainder, and also the pre-
sent city hall property, at the market price.
The portion sold would of course become
taxable, and thus increase the revenue of
the city.

FREE RAILROADS.

All dioh6 eho AIuo VI WV A..Shaohus
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad the
people, without regard to sex, age, color,
or party, are watching with the deepest
anxiety the termination of the fight now
going on in the General Assembly for free
railroads. The monopoly which has
cursed this section for the last thirty-five
years is becoming daily more unbeara-
BILE, until now the curses which for
merly were deep but not loud, can
be heard sweeping over the land as
tempest. l can safely say that nine out of
every ten of the people along the line of
the road, in this county anyhow, would
heartily welcome Tom Scott, or any other
man, with new railroad, and the closer it
ran to the line Of the present one, the bet
ter it would suit us. The freights at pres
emit are so intolerable that we do not try
to raise more than can be consumed here,
as,t the freight on the surplus would con-
sumo the price realized in the market for
it; and as to passenger fare, the discrimina-
ton against local travel in favor Of through
has no parallel. A week or two ago two
men went to the county seat on a
court day and spoke of getting
up a meeting against free railroads,
but after feeling around among the people
a little, and not finding one person to sec
ond their motion, they came to the conclu-
sion that the least said was soonest mend
ed, and decamped. Your paper has done
good service for the internal improvements
of our state keep it up and your reward
will come sooner or later. b. It.

FROM CAROLINE.

Farming -ImmigrattOn-PO'
litics-Free RailrOs rs, &C., &c.
CAROLINE COUNTY, March II.
TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
Although regular reader OF your paper,
! have not for a long time seen line in il
from this section. We are not dead, how
ever, but struggling along for an existence,
meagre though it is.
FARMING.
The farmers are making, or trying
to make, their usual preparations for
spring and summer crops, but from all |
can see they will be short ones, for very
little land is being plowed for oats, corn
and tobacco, and the acreage of winter
wheat sowed last fall is small therefore,
what with lack OF energy, fertilizers, and
with the return Of the drouths OF the last
four or five years, the prospect is not very
cheering.
IMMIGRATION.
The first three years after the ending of
the war brought large number of settlers
here, principally from the north. For
some cause or another at least four-fifths
of them have pulled up stakes and gone
w iiOhA eiiSy SoAAet VI
else. There are no newcomers here now
at all, although most praiseworthy efforts
are being made by a company Of gentle
men to turn the tide of immigration in
this direction once more.
POLITICS.
The Republicans are gaining strength.
Up to the last election the Democrats have
managed to put in their men, but in the
last bout--a special election for county
treasurer-the Republican candidate was
elected. Albeit, he was not allowed to
qualify, for the alleged reason that the
bondsmen offered were not good, though
they were two of the most responsible men
in your city. Of course, Democrat now
performs the duties and receives the pay of
the Office. A parallel case occurred in this
county some three years ago, when Re-
publican sheriff was elected, and they will
continue to occur SO long as we have par
partisan judiciary. The Republicans are
making preparations for big legislative
fight, and feel certain of returning two
good men to the House in the next General
Assembly.
