LETTER FROM FAUoUIER.

| Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
MARSHALL, Va, January 1S.-The
weather here is SO mild that farmers
have begun clearing for the spring
crops. The lack of rain Is much felt
on this account and early ploughing
will be delayed.
In the Piedmont section of Virginia
it is to be deplored that there are such
few mechanical industries on hand;
save cattle feeding there is nothing
done by operatives during the winter
months that is remunerative and the
farm hands, mostly colored, become
dead heads-fed and housed at the en-
ployer's expense, the employer can not
attain riches and is threatened with
bankruptcy. Even a small farmer
pays taxes for State schools, county
schools, district schools, county levy
and road tax to the amount of ST .25
annually while the negro and the alien
in many instances pay not one cent to-
wards these objects which he and his
children reap the benefit of and by the
payment of single dollar as capitation
tax is in the full enjoyment of citizen
ship.
Since the law makers of Congress
during the late holidays removed the
disabilities of southern officials who
took part in the late civil strife, there
has been universal expression of salts
faction. The late President Davis was
true prophet to declare such would
not be granted in his day, since the
average puritan has like old Kaiser
Frederick of Prussia who, when dying,
told his attendants to say to his eue-
mics, when dead he would then for
give them. Surely now we shall have
peace.
One of the glorious fruits of the late
week of prayer by the clergy and
Christian people of Warrenton and
vicinity has been an expression Of deep
sympathy tor the Armenian christians.
The resolutions draughted by an emf
nent lawyer of Warrentop, Hon. James
V. Brooke, respectfully asks our gov
ernment to use all proper means to
rouse the christian powers from their
apathy to terminate the cruel massacre
OF a people whose race settled district
in which Ararat stands, B. G. 2200, and
now numbering nearly 100000, nomi-
nally christian, that the licentious Tur-
kish Sultan, with savage brutality is
seeking to exterminate against the re-
monstrance of every true christian.
We regret to add that Major T. R. Fos-
ter, one of the most estimable citizens
of Marshall, has been critically ill for
some days CAST, Drs. Frost and Settle
attending. In years Major F. is beyond
the three score. He is member Of the
Baptist Church. There are hopes of
his recovery.
