Dumfries How Old ,
For The Free Lance.

For The Free Lance.
would be we'll pleased to furnish.
on all points. the Information for which
our pleasant Virginia writer, George
O Round. Esq asks in his article In
The Free Lance Of November 9th, 1899.
But am afraid it will be found that
the actual date Of the first settlement
Of Dumfries. by white men. cannot be
fixed by definite evidence. This much
is certain, however. that Jamestown
was settled in 1907 by Englishmen. and
that was many years before. Scotchmen
settled Dumfries. AS the remains OF
jamestown have been taken under the
tender care Of the Society for the Pres
ervatiou Of Virginia Antiquities" l
think Mr.. Rounds first question must
be answered in the negative. There
are many existing towns Of the thir-
teen original colonies" which are older
in actual settlement than Dumfries
John Smiths expedition. In an open
boat. up the Potomac in 1908 was for
exploration, and not to make settle
ments. Il is true that his report ard
map made a deep impression, and that
we have distinct evidence from Score
tary Porey and others, that Smiths ex-
pedition led to a settlement Of nearly a
hundred white men within the present
bounds of Maryland at least twelve
years before the grant OF Charles TO
Lord Baltimore But none OF these
settlements were on the South side of
the Potomac.
Mr.. Round is right in supposing
that Dumfries was first settled by Scot
tish emigrants. They were thrifty and
industrious, and soon brought their
small town TO condition &c for incor.
poration. Hening was indefatigable
and discriminating in gathering histo-
rical data, and is probably right in
giving the date Of the. incorporation Of
Dumfries as about the year 1881. Fred
ericksburg was. therefore, older, on
this point, than Dumfries, having been
solemnly incorporated and christened
with her name in 1871 the year in
which old George l died and George II

HIS First Visit Here for Twenty Years

HIS First Visit Here for Twenty Years.
Capt V.M johnson was in the city yes
terday on his first visit for twenty years.
He is looking remarkably well, and on be.
ing interviewed by The Free Lance said
the many changes and improvements in
Fredericksburg struck him very forci-
bly,. Much space that was vacant when
he was here last is now occupied by
pretty homes and industrial enterprises.
Capt Johnson repaired the old
Union House here and opened school
In 1t in 1865 Major John o. Pettus
and Miss Mary Green Browne taught
with him, the latter having charge Of
the primary department Afterwards
Mss Olive D. Hanson, daughter Of
Prof Thomas Hanson, who conducted
a school here for many years prior to
the war. was connected with the
school Daring the civil war Capt.
johnson commanded {, mpany d, 30th
Virginia Regiment. subsequently he
was on the staff # John B. Milton the
WAY Governor OF Florida, and was with
him at the time he committed suicide.
Capt. Johnson was in the Interior
Department Of the United States Gov
eminent during the first Cleveland hd-
ministration and held his position un-
til the McKiul-y Administration. In
the performance Of his duties as an Iu.
terror DIP Ltment official he was sta
toned at Memphis. Tenn, where he
met the Wellfords and other Virginisns,
and also at San Francisco, Gal. where
for some time he saw no Virginians.
One day, he says. he remarked on this
fact and ventured the opinion that there
were no Virginisns in California. The
party addressed said Oh. you have not
met them The Democratic party here
is made up of Virginians. Irish and
negroes. " After this he found out that
the Southern paople employed most Of the
negroes in California, and unlike the
negroes of Virginia, they voted the
same political sentiments as their en-
poyers.
Oapt. Johnson is now farming near
Middleburg, LoudOnn county, and
drove from his home here in buggy.
He left yesterday afternoon to visit
relatives in Spotsylvania county, where
he was born and raised and where he
married a daughter Of the late Lewis
A. Boggs. He is accompanied by his
