LETTER FROM AUGUSTA COUNTY.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria GAzErrEl
FIsHERsvILLE, Augusta county, Va, July
6.-1he SO much talked Of harvest has come,
aud is now about finished, and the most OF
farmers are agreeably disappointed in their
crops, and while the yield must of neces-
sity be small the crop will yield from s
to Is bushels per acre in this section,
of the county, and we suppose will average
at least ten bushels per acre, which is not so
bad considering the very unfavorabe winter
and spring for the growing crops. Theself.
binding harvesters are in general use here,
and SO far as known have done good work
this year. Hands have been plentiful, and
81 per day seems to he the regulation price
Tor harvest this year. That seems TO be Il
small price, yet the hands should remem:
hcr that 81 will buy as much now Of the
,lccessares of life as ST. % last year, or
even more the year before, and in al
dition it should be remembered that
wages in general here withstood the
test OF depression in business and scarcity Of
money better than any commodity the
farmer produces. Wheat has come from
81 % per bushel in few years to 50 to 80
cents, while ordinary farm hands get so
cents per day, as they got Immediately after
the war, whilst groceries aud other things
have come much lower.
No doubt there will be some demagogues
who will tell the labUIcrs that MIR. Clevc
land and the democrats are responsible for
The reduction in harvest wages as well us
the unusually short wheat crop, and some
will be found TO believe it.
The corn crop in this county is very good
aud with fair season will make an abun-
dant crop. Tie oats are looking we'll. The
hay crop will be short compared to recent
years.
Delegates to cur State convention will be
selected at an early day. Our talented
young townsmap, Harry Tucker, esq, seems
to be gaining popularity rapidly as candi-
date for Attorney General on the State
ticket, aud we are sure no better selection
could be made.
The republicans are working very quietly
but earnestly, and when the fight comes
they will be marshaled out to man. II
the democrats would work with the same
Zeal as they do we would have walk
over" this fall, and their very quetness
should stir up the democrats, as they are
famous for still hunts in the past. So many
democrats in this county are too indif-
ferent, because they know old Augusta
will roll up good majority for any candi.
date named-forgetting some of our sister
counties may fall as far on the other
side-and in this election every vote counts.
A moderate shower would not be amiss,
as the surface is getting dry again.

Mr.. Eugene Higgins, better known in
Baltimore as. Jim Higgins, the appointment
clerk of the Treasury, is % much disliked
by the republican clerks in that department
as he is by the republican correspondents of
Northern republican newspapers here. He
has a habit of walking through the corridors
of the Treasury building and telling the
clerks he meets, in loud tone so rs to be
heard by others, that they will all be gone
before oysters come, or of looking at them
and drawing the foreinger of his right hand
across his throat. 1t is said that as he usual.
" does this just before noon, he has almost
ruined the business of Wards milk lunch
room on the opposite side of the street. The
efforts to have Mr. Higgins ousted have
rather increased of late.

told the GAzETTE's correspondent to day

Der, when the regular term of Marshal Nc
Michael will expire, and that then Colonel
Barrett, ex-Mayor of the city, will be ap
