LETTER FROM FAUQUIER COUNTY.
OF the Alexandria GAZETTE.

ICorrespondence Of the Alexandria GAzErrE
Your correspondent has lately been on
the wing along the route Of the Virginia
Midland and Shenandoah Valley railroads,
"a far as Clarke county. At the various
stations, Rectortown, Delaplane, Markham
and Linden were visible nice and new
houses, aud in the vicinity we'll titled farms,
Astounding in fat cattle, sheep and hogs.
The wheat crop in upper Fauquier, though
seriously injured by the drought and frosts
of winter has rallied considerably since the
late splendid rain came, and will be much
better than in Clake and Frederick counties
owing to dry weather.
At Riverton junction, where change OF
cars to the Shenandoah Valley r. II. Is
made ut noon, passengers have to walt LOT
long weary hours, until TAO p. M, for the
uorthbound train. En- route, the tourist no.
tees in crossing the grand old Blue Ridge
mountains, deep gorges and rich ana e3-
tensive pasture lands; especially IN the sec
tan known as the Marshall nelgh0ornood,
the scenery becomes mora attractive ana
nicturesuue as one proceeds through the
lovely valley of the Shenandoah. AT White
Post was noticed tho handsome Meade
Memorial church. The building Is OF Goth
ic STYLE and was erected in memory OF the
late Bishop Meade. The wheat crop OF
Clarke and Frederick counties will be un-
doubtedly short and below the average
Weld. In the vicinity of Boyce station and
of Wildwood the eye delights to gaze upon
the exquisite panorama presented OF coun-
try Astounding in fine farms, huge forest
trees and handsome residences. The stur
DIV sons of toll, descended from the Scotch,
Irish and Ang lo-saxon settlers of the past
century are models of manly strength; AT
Carter Hall, Saratoga, Clay Hill, Page
brook and Long Branch still reside the Bur
wells, Nelson's, Pages, Randolphs and Whit
ings, and nearby Mr. John Esten Cooke, the
novelist historian and poet.
In Wildwood there are three fourlshlng
churches, two excellent schools, and Ma
sonic and Good Templar lodges. Altogether
this village and Boyce station settlement
has q thrifty and 90 ahead population
somewhat the better because of Northern
immigration and the triumph of the democ'
racy in Virginia.

JUDGED BY the expressions of the editors
of some of the more malignant of the North
ern newspapers, the anger aud hate OF the
republicans for the people OF The South for
electing Mr.. Cleveland President and there
by being the means of turning the ras-
Gals out" is so intense that nothing
short of another war would satisfy
them. But, judging the future by the
past. if their wishes in the matter re-
ferred to were gratifed, these same editors
would not do any of the fighting, but would
employ foreign substitutes, while they would
remain at home to volunteer advice as to
the conduct of the war, and insist that the
fighting generals adopt that advice.

THE MAHoNEITEs pretend that their re
moyal from Office is the best thing that
could have happened for their boss; tor the
reason that every one of the removed will
now contribute at least twenty dollars to bis
campaign fund. They never were more
mistaken in their lives. When in office they
had to pay their. political assessments on
pain of removal from failure, but as there IS
now no salary for which to subtract the
assessment, aud no penalty for refusing to
paw it, General Malone will be sadly dis.
appointed if he expects to raise his cam

JULY "a, 1855.

The April skies were nerce as nams,
Nor smiled with fearful pity,
When in his iron hand he clasped
The clOsr-bl.agu rtd city.
Aud said, when doubtful victory seemed,
At best a tardy conner,
"Well fight II out upon this line,
Though 1t SHOULD take all summer"
So, now. with stern, unbcnding will,
With lips that never faltcr,
The grand old h 10 fought the foe
Who gives no kindly quarter.
Alls alas the fig II fought;
He lies in d,athly rigOr
Beneath the drtary fringe of pines
That drOop o'er Mount Mcuregor
But, rcddenng with the risen sun
That gilds those pines with glory,
Tn, long, long record OF the past
Bursts with its wOudruus story;
The battles roar, by agurr d fort,
with martial music blending,
To weave from uut the h,rOs deeds
The requiem Of his ending;
To tell how. at the conflicts close,
With kindly words carussing,
Der broken bnyonuts, he brrathed,
In bcnisOn aud blessing;
Aud badr them take the team again,
And part for home and duty,
To bid the sad earth smile once more,

And wear the lonely willow.

Poor widowed queen, enthroncd in grief
For England snddrst sorrow,

To hravy h arts tomorrow.
Though her, no nation sits in shame,
In slckclOth and in ashes,
But hears the boom of minute-guns,
And sees their ftful flashes.
Meath summer suns, in years to come,
Der blasts of icy IigOr,
As pilgrims pale, the crowds may climb
The heights Of Mount Mcir gor
But wAsHISaroN, tht place h. loved,
Beneath these suns that swrtor,
Stands stretching shlp ly, eager arms
To give her hero shelter;
To give him place who loved her best,
Where pilgrim feet may Had him;
Her snowy dome before his face,
Her girdlcd grow q behind him.

With bayoncts and banners,
His mighty hosts, he comes to rest
Mid kindly "men and manners ~
"Let us have peace !" the soldier said
For all who chose TO scan 1t

Beneath that breast of granite.

Who weeps in stricken sorrow;
