LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.

Correspondents OF the Alexandria GAzETrEl
WARRENToN JUNCTION, April lst, ISL
There is, and has been for some time past,
much inquiry for land in dissection by pur-
chasers from the Valley of Virginia, from
New York and Ohio. A sale Of some Fifty
acres took place here yesterday within u
short mile of the Junction to Mr. Mann
from Schohairie county, N. Y, at about $50
peracre without improvements. Mr.. M. it is
understood will commence to build on his
purchase at an early day.
There is a general desire expressed
throughout this neighborhood for suitable
warehouse to be erected by the Railway
Company at this place, by or before wheat
harvest, as it is fairly estimated that from
40 900 to $4,000 bushels of wheat would be
shipped from this point the coming au-
tumn, had we such building, but with
out which. will in great part, be hauled to
fredericksburg as heretofore. Besides corn,
oats and other farm products, cattle, lambs,
and hogs, &c., all of which would seek
market in your city that now 60 elsewhere
and will continue to Go so unless our just
and most reasonable wants are attended to-
The growing wheat crop, notwithstand-
ing the open winter, is looking remarkably
we'll giving bright promise of full average
crop.
1t is really somewhat surprising the Rail-
way people do not build suitable depot
here as it certainly wonld be to the interest
Of the road to do so. and why they have
neglected it so longis quite incomprehensi-
BILE, to say the least of it, S.

DEATH OF MAJOR GREEN-ROADS

Correspondence of the Alsxandria Gsxett,

Correspondence Of the Alsxandria Gaxette)
CULpEPER, Va, April l, lss4.-The death
of Major James w. Green, which occurred
today between two and three o'clock p. m,
has cast gloom over the entire community.
Some three weeks ago he was stricken with
what was then considered a slight attack Of
paralysis and 10 fears were emit ertained for
his recovery, but for few days past his
condition was critical, and his death was
almost sudden-certainly to many of his
friends very unexpected
The weather of the past few days has
been fine and the farmers are more eager
than for years to get to blowing for corn, as
less of that kind of work has been done up
to the present time of the year than for
many years past.
The roads, perhaps, will he 'haulable" in a
couple of weeks if the dry winds and warm
sun continues otherwise the embargo must
remain.
The wheat, as general thing, is looking
Withdrawing that on the low grounds-the
continuous rain fall being more than it could
stand, consequently the damage is great.
Yours respectfully, x. x. x.

In Alexandria, April /, 1854, Mrs. MARY A.
BEACH, in the I'D year of her age.
You say you're going to leave u.s. mother
Farewell, if we must part.
To see our mother 60 from US,
We know twill break our heart.

For what is life to US when you are gone
And we are alone? poor outcast we'll be.

Safe on his gentle breast
Where by his love DER Swallowed,
Sweetly his soul shall rest
May we meet him in heaven.

TIE LONDON Times, though printed three
thousand miles away, is better acquainted
with the affairs of this country than many
newspapers printed in the North are with
the condition of things in the South. In ref
erence to the late riot at Cincinnati, it says
zone way to lessen the difficulty of preserv'
ing order in America is to secure decent
administration Of Justice The qualitica-
ton for judgships iu England is not, as it
was in Virginia under the late regime, that
the applicant should once in his life have
opeued a law book, and tie the member of a
certain party.

THERE Is popular belief that the annual

GENERAL MALONE and his organs have
lost faith in popular government. His
Richmond organ talks about 1.-THE neces'
sty for Federal interference where States
are either too weak or are disinclined TO
maintain law aud order within their bound
aries" and his Washington organ says 1.-The
iron hand of a strong government is needed
for the suppression of the evil of polyga-
nous Mormonism." The General will learn
before he is much older that the people not
only can, but will, take care of themselves,
and that they want no Cesar in theirs

Ex-SpEAKER kEIFER made certain iniam-
Gus assertions respecting the character OF
General Boynton, also a republican. The
General forced him to formulate those as.
sertions into specific charges and have them
investigated by n committee Of the House.
That committee examined them carefully
and reported them to be groundless. The
committee thus convicts the ex-Speaker OF
malicious libel Now the question that
naturally suggests itself is whether the
other members of the House deem it seemly
TO have for colleague a man publicly con-
yicted Of an infamous crime?

MAHOSE SERIOUSLY ILL.-A Washington dis
patch says: Senator Mshone is lying seriously
Ill at his room in the Arlington Hotel in

nervous rigor early yesterday morning after

ACCORDING; TO Mr.. Bedford the Colorado
statesman. President Garfield said to him:
The Postotlice Department is one that
reaches down 10 every precinct and town
ship in the nation, and has direct influence
on almost every man, woman and chlld 10
the republic. Il can be converted into q
vast political engine and made exceedingly
seryiceable in securing the nomination OF
presidential candidate"
From the way Mr.. Ga:tield's successor
has conducted the postolices in Virginia,
through General Malone, i! would seem
that he impaired to him the same intorma-
ton be gave to Mr. Bedford concerning the
effectiveness of the Postctiice Department
as a part of the political machine.
