The grand jury term of the County Court
met on Thursday, Judge j. B. Jet presiding.
The grand jury found true bills in four cases,
which, added to those already on the criminal
docket, make twenty-eight. We learn that
most of these indictments were for petty often
ces The court will probably remain in session
until Monday or Tuesday.
We conversed with number of farmers re-
lative to the crops One farmer Informed us
that the rust had made its appearance on the
blade of his wheat. 1t was the general impress
sion that pretty fair crop would be made
The wheat between Fredericksburg and the

Politics were at dead stand still; the peo-
pie seemingly waiting for something to turn
up" No one is specially spoken of among the
Conservatives as candidate for the House of
Delegates. 1t is conceded by the lower coun-

titled to the nomination for State Senator. No
gentleman from that county, as yet, has been
prominently named. The claims Of Withers,
Kemper and Hunter, for Governor were occa-
sionally alluded to; aud between these there
seemed to be no decided preference.
There was an unusually large crowd of peo-

LETTER FROM HORACE GREELEY. "A letter
from Horace Greeley, not before published,
makes its appearance in the New York Tri-
bune as follows:
NEW YORK, April q. 1865.
My Friend have your letter. We must
put down the rebellion. We must make an end
of slavery; for the good of the whole human
race requires both OF these; but do net let us
seom to do in wrath what is dictated by love.
We may have to kill more OF the Southern saw
ages including their chiefs; but let us not drink
their blood and mbibe therefrom their spirit. |
say in all truth that would gladly let them all
go unpublished (by war; tomorrow if they would
but give up slavery, stop the rebellion, come
back and behave themselves. And am not
very good ut that If l were better l should
probably be willing las l once was) to pay them
something for their slaves; now l think they
have taken their pay in rebellion and must be
satisfied with that.
o my friend remember, Father, forgive
them" We might be rs they are had we been
nursed on the tigers milk of slavery. Now let
us be satisfied with the inevitable woes of this
terrible war. Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

State Journal gives au interesting account of
an important Virginia industry which has
sprung up at Gilberon's Locks, about five
miles below Norfolk, on the Elizabeth river.
The Journal says: "a Northern company
are developing an interest at this poiut to
which there is 20 end to the supply f material.
! he Norfolk Fibre Company, with capital
stock OF S3OO,UO0, are now successfully prose-
cutting their work on large scale. The ma
terial from which this ibre is made is the cane
or reeds growing so abundantly in the Dismal
Swamp, aud which can be cut every three
years, with a constant renewal Of the crop af-
forwards The thrcc.ycar old cane is the best,
because the fibre can be disintcgrated from the

than in older growths, while the fibre is equal

HARRIsoNBURG, VA.-Harrisonburg is be-
ginning tolook up. A busy scene is presented
in the western portion of the city where labor
ers are engaged in cutting out the track for the
Valley Railroad. The old Jail hill, the scene of
school boy sports and adventures is giving
away before the pick and shovel and soon the
swift transit Of the cars will tell of the wonder
full change few years have brought in the cid
burg. The old landmarks are passing away,
and the evidence of the new era and progress
siye age showing themselves every day.
In conversation with some of the substantial
citizens of Harrisonburg, We were led to be-
lieve that the Narrow Gauge Railroad
from that point on to Monterey would soon be
let to contract. When this is effected, there
is no valid reason why that town should not at
once enter upon career Of enterprise.
