The Reassessment Act.

The passage over the Governors veto of
the reasscssmcnt act is Il proceeding entirely
in keeping with the history Of the present
Legislature. 1t has been all tho time pro-
testing against m increase of taxes, while it
has been equally persistent in declaring that
the debt of Virginia would be paid The
proclamation was that Virginia was not now
ready to pay all, but would payaplrt, aud in
time redeem her honor by paying all to the
uttermost Earthing.
| And how does this act, providing for re-
assessment Of tic lands Of the Common
wealth, tally with the promises for the
future? After refusing TO raise the taxes
the legislators proceed to diminish the value
of the basis of taxation, and in that way to
reduce the amount of revenue in the Trca
sury to meet the obligations Of the State
| What faith can be placed in the promises
which are thus backed up? 1t is like spirit.
ing away part Of the property pledged te
| pay an honest debt. l2
I The two Houses Of the General Assembly
represented by their committees, in confer
ence with number of the holders of the
bonds ofthe State, made such vehement pro
testations of tho intention of the Legislature
to pay the State debt ultimately that tue
bondholders were impressed with them, and
felt an IMMIGRATION OF their recently waning
faith in the Ga Dominion. They avowed
their readiness to take less than the law Of
the previous Legislature declared should be
paid them; and trusted implicitly In

MET ROSADALIS.-W. II. Bickers, re-
sizing in Gordonsville, Va, writes:
~ herewith give the facts in the case Of my wife
cured by your ROSADALlS. About four years ago
there appeared on her ears red, swollen places or
sores attended with itching and burning for awhile
1t remained much the same, then rapidly grew
worse; appearing successfully on her hand, face,
shoulders and arms in The form Of scaly hoches or
sores. and completely incapacitatlng her for any
duty. AT this time her head was so completely CO.
vered with scab that 1t WIS impossible for her to
dress her hair with the coarscst comb. On January
7th procured one bottle of ROSADALIS Of Messrs.
Craven Co., and being convinced the use Of WAS
beneficial, persisted in its use until she had taken
seven bottles, ,chen she pronounced herself cured
She Is now perfectly free from disease"

The First Blood of the War, Again
letter from the Man VINO Fired the

Shot.
HARDWOOD, STAFFORD COUNTY. EA.,l
March 13, 1873.
Editors DispGtch,-The two editorials in
your columns headed "The First Blood of
the War" are correct, and I take pleasure
in suhstantiating the statement made hy
the gentleman from Roanoke county, except
small correction. The soldier who killed
Brown was Daniel W. S. Knight, and not
Daniel T. Knight, Il member Of Captain Re-
binson's company, Hansbrough's battalion,
afterwards made 4 part Of the Twenty. fifth
Virginia regiment, Infantry. After the war
ended returned home to Taylor county,
West Virginia, and was prosecuted by the
grand jurors Of that county for the murder
of Brown. Captain Wilson Was the only
States evidence in the case. He (Wilson)
testified on cross-eXanination that Knight
showed no disposition towards hurting them;
that be Captain WILSON, was acquainted
with tho duty Of !; sentinel, and that Knight
hailed them more than necessary, and that
Brown halted and spoke TO Knight very alb
rupty, and if Brown had not been in the act of
shooting it was impossible for Brown to have
gotten ready in time to shoot, rs he was
killed instantly, as there was no cessation be-
tween the firing. Other witnesses testified
that Brown fired the first shot. ~
