LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.

fredericksburg, Va., June 3, 1891.
Dear MonGtor,-We of the North GER
tainly never did know to what extent
the South suffered by the war. Old
soldiers have had a faint conception
Of it as to some extent they have wit
messed it's desolations. What must it
be to live in the wake of an army, or
of a great battle? And it was even
worse to live between the lines. Mrs.
Aslop (to whose house the body of
Gen. Sedgwick was taken) of the
Spottsy1vania battlefield says: After
the battle her house was destitute of
everything. Blood covered the floors.
Not a piece of cloth of any kind re-
mained that was usable. There was
nothing for herself and children to
eat; and for two weeks their only
food came from the haversacks of
dead union soldiers. With no stores,
and all neighbors equally destitute
such a condition was distressing to the
| last degree. A native of the ''Valley''
| told me that after the war, he made
the trip from Harpers Ferry to Staun-
| ton, and in all that distance of over
one hundred miles, there was not a
fence rail or foot Of fence, not mill,
and many barns and houses were gone.
He, boy at that time, lived in Win
chester, and he says that noted place
was captured eighty four times. Such
was the penalty of war. Butit is very
important factor to be considered in
any just consideration of things as
they are in the South to-day.
1t is twenty eight years and over
since I started on my first visit to this
place. My reception at that time was
not very agreeable. The marks Of

the struggle can still be seen. But
now how different! The people are
kind and while not so warm in their
attentions, present them in far more
agreeable manner. The mayor of the
city, is on the reception committee to
welcome the G.. A. r. boys who come
to decorate the graves of the 1928
boys in blue who lie buried here. (12,-
8O7, of those graves are marked Gun
known.') Judge Slaughter, who was
mayor when Burnside was here, is
also a member of the reception Com
mittee The old flag hangs here in the
street, and is heartily cheered by the
citizens of this same old city. What
frightful scenes have been witnessed
here! Out on this Hanover street filed
the devoted divisions of Couch, Rich
ardson and Hancock, to form for the
charge on the stone wall. Down this
same street slowly crept the long line
of ambulances, with blood running
from them like water from an ice wa
gon. Here is st. Georges church,
that served as an operating room for
the surgeons; here is the Presbyterian
church with two cannon balls still seen
in the pillar by the door post, mute,
but eloquent witnesses of that terri
BILE day
The city is much the same. True 1T
has grown some. But these same
streets and ancient brick stores and
houses, give the same general appear
ance to the town. The great change
is in the people, and their change is
in spirit. This new feeling is general
throughout the South. While the old
South remains there certainly is
EFNew South" This is a frequent eX-
preston: FtYou cannot find man
from Maryland to Texas but is glad
slavery is a thing of the past" And
majority of them are glad they are
whipped. AS Virginian said to me:
"Slavery was curse to us and we
did not know it. We could never
have gotten rid of it ourselves. 1t
was the best thing possible for us that
we were defeated" Another man
said in reference to a possible earlier
CLOSE OI U1S war. mo, L UnlIh IL Ildd
to be. Fact is, if the war had closed
while there was any fight left in us,
we might have wanted to try it again
sometime. 1t was necessary for US to
go into the last ditch, and be whipped
until there was not particle of fight
left in US" The South is anxious for
peace and rest. 1t was my fortune to
attend confederate memorial services
and to hear prominent speakers on
other occasions, but at no time did
hear a bitter or disloyal word. AS the
South and the North shall learn more
of each other they will like each other
better. The present great awakening
III the South along the lines of educa-
ton and industries will do much to
bring this about. We in the North
have been about as much deceived in
regard to the South and its loyalty
since the war, as they were about the
North before the war. ''But we shall
know each other better when the
mists have rolled away"

and that peaches will be plenty. The

The question is at length finally set
tied and Vermont will have her award
from the government. The thorough
discussion of the matter by the state

the matter, and only the opinion of
Attorney General Miller is of much
interest. His decision is lengthy and
in this issue we are not able to do it

The Louisiana sugar crop last year
amounted to 40, 1000, 900 pounds, which
was the largest on record for thirty
years. Yet our imports of sugar dur
ing the single month of April last
amounted to 475, ,OOO, 900 pounds. This
shows how small figure our domes-
tic production of sugar makes in our
annual consumption.

Recent scientific soundings show
that the greatest known depth of the
ocean in the Pacific is near the La
drone Islands, where soundings were
made to the depth of 28, $50 feet, or a
little over five miles. In the Atlantic
the greatest depth found is just north
of the West Indian Islands, which is
,25O feet, or nearly four and a hall
miles. In those parts of the ocean
most free from islands, as in the route
from Newfoundland to Ireland, the
ocean is most shallow, seldom exceed
ing 12,O 900 feet.

Capt. w. H. H. Kenfeld, judge Of
probate for Lamoille county died sud
denly at his home in Hyde Park, VT,
recently, the immediate'cause of death
being neuralgia of the heart. Capt.
Kenfeld, who had been suffering from
rheumatism for some time, ate his
breakfast as usual that morning and
went to his sitting room. A moment
later Mrs. Kenfield heard him breath
ing heavily and reached his side in
time to catch him as he fell, and a
moment later he had expired in her
arms. Capt. Kenield was elected
Judge of probate at the last election,
but had previously filed many offices
of trust in the community. He repre-
sented the town of Hyde Park in the
legislature of 1882 or 1884, and was
county clerk for many years.

justice. 1t is sufficient to know that
the matter is settled and is a subject
of general congratulation that it has
been settled so promptly and to such
advantage to the state. It now seems
probable that there viii be a special
legislative session to formally accept
the award, and to act on st. Adams
ceding to the government grounds
for a public building.
The New York Tribune says that
Secretary Proctor's good judgment has
been again displayed in the recruiting
of Indians as soldiers. Lieutenant
Dodge's report upon 80 Indians enlist
ed by him in Arizona is highly gratify-
ing. am simply delighted with them,
he says. My only regret is that have
to turn them over to another officer to
command, for l am satisfied their fu-
ture is bright one if they are only
properly handled in the start.
Maj. Mckinley, the next Governor
of Ohio, stated a rock bound truth
when told the largest State conven-
ton ever assembled upon Ohio soil
that ''There is one thing can be said
of the republican party which do
not believe can be said of any other
party known to political history. 1t
has been right on every great public
question that has confronted the peO-
pie of the nation within the last thirty
years" Isn't that a proud record?
No more dastardly business was
ever engaged in by the lowest wretch
than the attempt which has been
made by certain men and certain
newspapers to connect Postmaster
General Wanamaker and other mem
bers of the administration with the
late crooked bank failures in Philadel-
phia. That the attempt failed for
lack of foundation removes not one
iota of the stigma of infamy from the
brows of those who originated it.

Work for the Explorers.

Readers of THE DISPATCH of Wednes-
day last will recall cablegram stating that
the Geographical Congress in session at
Berne, Switzerland, authorized the produc-
tion of map showing the districts on the
earth's surface yet open to the explorer. I
am of the opinion that most persons are un-
aware how vast is the territory yet un-
known to civilization. For that reason I
have compiled an abbreviated summary of
the more important sections concerning
which we have as yet but meager knowl-
edge and the traveller who opens them up to
civilization will confer benefits of almost
inestimable value.
In South America the field is not so in
viting as in other parts of the world, but
vast districts in the neighborhood of the
upper Amazon and the Orinoco remain to
be explored, and negro tribes existing in
the interior and said to have sprung from
escaped slaves are yet to be found and in
vestigated by the scientific traveller. From
all accounts they have sunk to condition
of barbarism, if anything, worse than any
of the native tribes of Africa. In Central
Africa exploration has just begun. In
Western Africa, between Adaman and the
Congo, is an immense district of which we
practically know nothing. Of the territory
In tho neighborhood of the Sahara desert We
