hard stone to dress. Fl
The next morning 1 started on the
line of march through the country.
This is beautiful, level country,w with
deep soil, but, like Virginia, it has
not had the proper care and tillage.
Here, too, like Virginia, slavery has
been its blight but tbs people are now
turning their attention to fruit raising,
of all varieties, but the largest part
is peaches, many planting from 500 to
5000 trees.
The corn crop was good, some fields
having heavy crop on; the wheat
crop is estimated to average about Is
bushels to the acre. After a hasty
survey of the country. with good
impression left on my mind, l turned
myself toward home. Left Cambridge
OIL the steamer for Baltimore. Taking
the cars about 5 n. m, passed through
Washington before daylight, and soon
came to Point of Rocks. The scenery
here is fine, or was to me at least.
Passing on we soon came to Martins
burgh, beautiful town of some size,
| with a rich, limestone country around
it. Here the limestone presented the
strangest view l ever beheld in any
country, they presented their uncouth
edges in reefs about four feet thick,
running across the fields in parallel
lines about or 10 rods apart, the
land being cultivated between. We
soon came to some remarkable noun
tains for their rich limestone soil and
rock These mountains cannot be
titled for grain, but the thought run
in my mind that the day would come
when these mountains, like those Of
Juda, would be made to produce the
grape in great abundance.
But l. have passed Harper's Ferry
aud must go back. Looking at this
place while passing, it occurred to me
that it was hardly worth SO much
fighting for, being in SO rough a
country, but yet it WAS the key to
some very important points. Here
are buildings lying in ruins, that were
destroyed by the army. We now pass
on to Cumberland city, which appears
to be large business place, with a
beautiful country around it. Soon
after leaving Cumberland we came to
the Little Will, which we followed up
through the gorges of the mountain
to its summit, and passing over to the
head waters of the Harrison, followe ed
il down to Pittsburgh. A. S. p.

The Inauguration of Governor
Hayes will take place On Monday
next. People will anxiously look for
his inaugural address to sec whether
he catches the refrain which Grant
commenced of advising the passage by
the Legislature ofa law taxing all the
Church property in the State. This il
a subject entirely within the province
of the Governor to discuss in his mss-
sage and which was quite Of place in
that of the President, as the Federal
Government does not levy taxes di-
rectly upon property. 1t 10 to he
hoped the incomiDgGoveruor will not
overlook this matter which his friends
regard as OF the utmsst importance.

to amount to about $500 for each man,

least portion of the debt it will be
repudiated. Strangely enough large
