CRIMrSAL COURT Before Judge E. North
GALLON, sitting fer Judge Abel, the case of
Roger Murphy, indicted for the murder of
Richard Burns, was given to the jury yes
terday. Attorney General Field opened
the case for the State by concise and

Letter from the "Sorthern Neck"


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WEsTMoRELAND, Va, July 9.-fhe wheat
harvest is over and so far as heard from it is
thought that tolerably fair crop has been
reaped, as good result as has been obtained
for several years. 1t is however becoming
more and more the conSicrioD in this section
that wheat is very uncertain Dependence The
difference of YELL under the same conditions is
striking Not mile from where | write a
field of wheat that was very carefully managed
and olerably literally tevilized, will not yield
more than two bushels 10 the acre, while other
fields, much the same in natural fertility and
with no guano are yielding pretty fairly.
As noticed from time to time IN your paper.
IA good deal of attention is being paid IN this re-
The soil and climate seems we'll adlpted This
isiug 10 succeed we'll also 10 the culture of
pears Grapes also are quite as thriving here
as in most parts of the State
Labor is SO scarce, however and Of 80 poor Il
class that it is difficult to farm to advantage,
and as to the large farming in vogue here prev-
Gus to the war it Is Of course entirely lppract-
cable. A curious feature OF the labor question
is that the offer Of an Increase OF wages does not
stimulate Industry. Hands tried under the
pressure Of emergency at SIS a month will do
DO better and accomplish no more work than
if IS were paid. As about 400 colored people
have left this county since the war, and as but
few whites have come into it, the reduction Of
the laboring force makes very material differ
euce in its productions. Yet We have here as
easily cultivated lands as any 10 the State, we'll
adapted TO grass and with soil of excellent
quality; and with unequal'ed facilities
for transportation by water. The time must
soon come. 10 the nature of things, when this
section now 80 neglected will have attention
atrsctcdt TO its peculiar advantages and its lands
come into active demand. II.
