WASHINGTON, May II, 1871
The President has left here for New York,
and is accompanied by Gen. Sherman and
several other prominent gentlemen. O|ipg to
bis absence from tie city there has been little
business at the White House 70 day, and that
exclusively Of l. routine character. a clerk 10
the Executive Office says that out of one hun
dred letters sent TO the President be does not

half are never communicated him.
VIRGINIA NOTES.
The forthcoming monthly report of the Ag-
ricuture Department will show that the pros
poets Of all the crops in Virginia are exceed
lngy foe. the fruit prospect exceeding that Of
any former year.
\ circular has been prepared for circulation
abroad giving . full account Of the inducements
to emigrants offered by the Atlantic States of
the South.
There is much complaint here that the u. s.
land Offices spend thousands OF dollars annually
10 maps, pamphlets, &c., 10 all languages, set.
ting forth the advantages Of the great West,
while all such work Tor the Southern lands
must be doue by private enterprise or By the
States themselves.
Papers still come in on the Richmond post
office question, aud duly go into the pigeon
holes OF the Department.
NATIONAL. BRIEFS.
The State Department has received no com
municatlon from the Mexican minister on the
subject Of the proposed lava3ion OF Sonora, but
the State Department has dispatched secret
agent to report promptly on the matter.
The Secretary Of the Treasury says the sale
Of gold last Friday was made because the gov.
crnulcnt seeded the funds.
Fred. Douglas friends outside The city, are,
il is understood TO send delegation to meet
the Prcsidentin New York and sttfen his back
bone in the matter of keeping Douglas in Office.
Secretary Sherman thinks the prospects for
rcsumlns specie payments 10 1879 are very good
aud believes tic government will be prepared
to resume 1t that time uGlcss Congress delays
it by unwsc legislation. He desires 20 addition
al legislation on this subject, and with IN act
to authorize the sale OF 4 per ct. bonds for re-
funding purposes for par in gold or legal tend
er5, at tho option Of the government, he has
no doubt that resumption would be brought
about before January 1879.
When the inland postage was reduced &c

The Washington correspondent of the Bat'-
more Sun says:
$50 far nothing has transpired to show that
the influence Of Col. Mosby is to be as potent
as it was under General Grant 10 the matter. OF
Virginia appointments. but such Is becoming
the general impression. This may arise from
the fact, iuconsequential 10 itself, that Colonel
Mosby visits the White House and is treated
with courtesy by the President: No Virginia
appointments OF consequence have yet heen
made, but when they are to be made the Pres
ident will no doubt consider Col. Mosby' views
az entitled 10 consideration, the same as the
views OF other leading Virginiaes.
Our news from Washington is to tho effect
that tho true reason for the difference that GER
taiuly does exist between the potency of Col.
Mosby's Influence with the present and the
past administrations lies 10 the fact OF the Col
oners known willingness to hold office under
President Hayes and his refusal to accept 70
sition under President Grant. \ mans lotu

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS OPINIONS MIR.
Chas. Francis Adams in n late Interview, said
I'm reference to his Southern policy think it
is ono which is moro liable to nuro 10 the beno-
it of the democrats than 10 the republicans. for
he seems to be pursuing tho Same course which
not only the democrats but all honest and patri-
otto citizens have for q long time favored. OF
course, it is not what such men as Blaine and
Butler viii delight over and, therefore, am
not surprised that they and their kind are liable
to find fault with him. Hayes policy is entirely
and plessingly different from that of Grants,
and il the lsttor's had been continued it would
have wrought incalculable injury to the country.
The policy of Hayes, you will notice, is policy
favored by Schurz. and is in perfect accord with
the utterances of that gentleman before his iden-
fcstion with the Cabinet. On the whole l think
Mr.. Hayes has done very vel! thus far, but. in
view of the outlook ahead, l fear he cannot
master tho multitude Of difficulties that he is
likely to encounter"
1t was evident from Mr.. Adams futher ex.
pressed views thathe is not very ardent admir-
err of Mr.. Blaine, but in discoursing upon the
career of that would.be President he WAS very
moderate both in tone and language.
There was a letter which l wrote to Ohio
during the last campaign" said Mr.. Adams,
IN which deprecated tho condition Of coun-
try, where man VIGOROUSLY corrupt came so
near receiving the Presidential nomination as
did one of the leading candidates of the Cincn-
natl convention. Mr.. Blaine on noticing this
letter came out with q statement in which he
made no alusion whatever to the subject matter
contained in my communication, but contented
himself by abusing me for some opposition
manifested toward hin. in Congress twenty years

Three and a half miles from San Quen-
tin is San Rafael, the county seat of
Marin county. This place was settled
in 1917, by the Jesuit missionaries. 1t
is situated in lovely little valley, about
mile from the bay, and connected with
it by shallow slough, which will float
light draft vessels in high tide. The
county buildings are substantial and
well adapted to their uses the school
buildings are good, and several large
hotels are well filled during most of the
year. Water, as in most other towns in
this se;tion, is brought quite distance
from tie mountains, and coming from
high devations. is used for fire purposes
from he pressure on the hydrants. A
marrow gauge railway connects this town
with the north coast towns, and greatly
Increases the business here. We could
MT ascertain the population of this grow
ng place, but it has 500 voters. A high
bald mountain stands little north of
this town, from which may be seen por-
lions of eight counties, several cities, in
Guiding San Francisco, and large num-
Der of pretty towns. While permitted
to enjoy much of the sublime scenery OF
California, we can but wish that ouI
Eastern friends, who have never had an
opportunity to look upon the magnificent
in nature, may some time come to this
State, and revel in the beauty and sub
Unity of its scenery M. +. BLAKE.
