rHB DAILY DISPATCH
Cwrwyon<e«ce #f the Dltfaiek.
Frkukbi ckibukg, June 28.
Messrs. Editors The people of thia
place are voting. to-day, upon (be proposition
to appropriate $15,000 for the extension of the
Frtdeiicksburi, and Valley Plank Road, front
its present terminus this side of Orange Court
Hoaae to Liberty Mills, and upon the pro,io*
iwtioM, also, to risk $2500 in keeping open the
Rappahannock Canal. Fro® present "PP e " r '
■aces, the appropriations will fsucceed by a
large majority. The fact is, Fredericksburg
has just opened her eyes, and now see* that
something must be done or she is lost,
■roper spirit now seems to pervade the con -
monitv, and much of the prejudice heretofore
existing against these improvements—partic
alarly the canal—has been entirely removed
by the able expose made in public meeting by
the Presidents of the two companies. Ihe
Plank Road succeeds admirably, and atfer it
•hall have been completed to Liberty Mills, it
is proposed to eitend it to Stanardsville.and to
have branches toCulpeper C. H., and Racoon
Ford, which will undoubtedly succeed, as the
Farmeia are very much in favoi of these "Far
mers' Rail Roads" upon which they can drive
their own cars and take the same load with
half the number of horses, as they can upon a
common turnpike.
Our Court House will be entirely completed
in about a month, and if vou want to see the
prettiest building in the State, come up ar.d
take a view of it; and, at the same time, look
■t our pretty girls—of which we have any
quantity. Mayor Sempie will, no doubt, take
pleasure in pointing them out, as he is a con
■oiseur in those subjects.
The Fredericksburg Guards have revived,
with all their pristine spirit, and from this time
will become, no doubt, one of the best volun
teer corps in the State. At a late meeting a
■limber of accessions to the ranks took place,
■■d Captain Barton, the former gentlemanly
and popular Captain, having resigned his of
fice, Mr. D. Lee Powell was unanimously
elected to fill the post. Captain Powell is a
graduate of the Lexington Institute, and be
■ides f being one of the best officers and one of
the finest looking men in the State, possesses
all the other qualities necessary for the sta
tion. The fiue Band attached to the Company,
led br Adams, started a few days since for a
week's engagement ut the University, at Char
lottesville. They will return on Thursday.
I hope the Ist Regiment of Volunteers, of
your city, will conclude to have an encamp
ment, as has been nuggested by some of its
officers. 1 have, for some time, been on the
point of proposing it, and believe it will be a
great thing for the Volunteers of the State.—
Let there be a Prize Banner offered for the
best drilled corps on the ground, and let all
Volunteer Companies in the State be invited to
attend, and no doubt it would be a spirited af
lair. The military sDirit has been aroused
here, and while the Guards have about fifty
muskets, I understand that about forty names
have been obtained to a new corps to be
drilled with rifles. So much the better. Em
ulation will keep both in existeuce, and there
is material enough to furnish each Company
with 100 tnen.
The Guards have changed their heavy
leather caps for the army regulation style,
with poinpon, and have adopted changed in
their uniform which make it much cheaper
than formerly. No further new?.
Yours, &.c.
Shocking Occurrence.
The following melancholy affair happened
about eight o'clock on ihe evening of the 19th
•f May, at or near ihe ranch of Captain I'hif
ster, fourteen miles hack from Martinez,
recalling in the almost instant death of one of
(he parties. The particulars, as near as our
informant could ascertain, areas follows:
A party of mutual friends met at the above
place, among whom were Mr. Smith, (a broth
<ci of Ovli Wtn. M. MraitW, of Uttrttnoß,) unci
Capt. Howe, in the employ of the U. S. govern
ment. In the eourse of conversation, soma
words escaped from Mr. Smith; a' which Howe
took offence; Mr. Smith Immediately declared
that it was not his intention to insult him, and
expressed his willingness to retract the offen
tire words, at the same time offering his hand
to Cap'. Howe, as a proof of his regret. Howe
refused to accept it. Mr. Smith then m«de
aomc remarks and moved awav, but had only
proceeded a short distance, when he was
alarmed by two shots from a pistol being fired
after hi in. He instantly returned and inquired
who it was that shot at him. Howe replied,
"I am the mun;" whereupon Smith rejoined,
"You won't shoot any more men;" or words to
that effect, and drew his pistol and fired. The
!>ell struck Howe directly in the breast, and he
fell,mortally wounded; he lived but five minutes
after receiving the shot. His body was remov
ed to Benicia for burial, on the afternoon of
yesterday.—San Francisco Herald May 21.

dangers which continually hovered around the
early colonists; the stirring romance of a lite passed
fearlessly amid peril; the incidents of border war

watchfulness, the subtle surprise, the ruthless at
tack, and prompt retaliation—all these having had
an important influence upon the formation of the
American character, are to be faithfully recorded,
while the progressive developments of the citizens
of each individual State, from the rough forest life
of the earlier day to the polished condition of the
present, will exhibit a picture of national expansion
as instructing as it is interesting. Books sent by
