Wallace, Esq., Madison C. 11, ' 10 PROPERTY HOLDERS. < The prosperity of this town of Or ange depends hi a great measure upon its attractiveness as a place of Summer . resort and permanent residence. It is lair to expect that, by proper exertion on the part ofour merchants, the trade . ef the place will increase very much.— . But the position of Orange aud the want of good roads to the Counties , west ot us, precludes the Idea of any great business prosperity. Gordong vdle and Culpeper both have advantag- ' es of this sort, which we can hardly hope to ever come—certainly not till the projected road to Fredericksburg Is completed. But as If In anticipation of the benefits expected from this road, the enterprising citizens of Culpeper V. 11. are already planning a ;McAd- , *m roa.l to Madison C. H., by which they expect, not unreasonably, to at tract the bulk of the trade now going tfrenn Madison Court House to Gordons- . ■vllle, and a great part of that which nvotild come to this point if the Frcder- . ncksburg road were finished. "J lOur hope, our main hope, lies In the improvement of this ttmn —in making it , attractive to the residents of cities as a place of sojourn during the hot months J ot the year, and in rendering it desira- ' ble as a permanent abode throughout '. the year. Nature has done her part lavishly. She has given us a heathftil climate, fertile soil, excellent water and beautiful scenery. She has also given ns a mineral spring which possesses ', many virtues. It remains for us to do our part, by developing these generous gifts of nature, by improving and cm- ' belllshing to the ut most our little town. The expenditure of a few hundred dol lars would make It one of the prettiest J little towns in the State. Orange Is already favorably known throughhut the South. It Is reincm- ' bered kindly by the many thousands ' who composed the army of Northern Virginia and who here received so much ' hospitality from our citizens. Former ' residents of Orange C. 11. arc scattered { •all over the South, and all who have ev er lived here will be glad to return ' with their wives and families when the ' heat of Summer drive them from cli- ' mates less healthful. Would it not be the. part of common sense to offer eve- ' ry inducement for our friends and for mer residents to come here and to stay as long as possible? Clearly so. There is another point which ought not to be loss sight of. It Is this. The change In our system of labor by the abolition ot slavery, will have the effect to build up towns in all parts of the ' country. We have evidence of this lact on every side. Year after year, the evidence will increase. The great farms will bo broken up and sold.— Hundreds and thousands, disgusted with the endless troubles of farming with free negroes, will sell out and re- ' pair to the cities and the towns. Ow ing to the cheaper living aud the inad equate means of those who have dispos- | ed of their farms, the towns will gain ' more than the cities. And those, towns ' which offer the greatest innducements ' as a pleasant and comfortable place of permanent residence, will increase fas- ' ter than others. Orange ought to be ' behind none of the towns in this sec- ' tion. But if we leave our side-walks In their present wretched condition, our roads untouched, our property un improved—if we begrudge every dollar tlutt does not return immediate profit to ourselves and ourselves alone—lf we continue to pursue this selfish, short sighted and senseless policy, we will hare the mortification of seeing our lit tle town given the go-by, and other neighboring towns prospering while we are standing still or going back ward. This is a matter in which every citi zen, not merely of the town itself, but of the whole country Is interested.— Improve this town as it ought to be and could easily be Improved, and every loot of property in this town and around it would be doubled In value. Of course the increased valuation of the farms ad joining tlie town would add to the val ue of the farms next to them, and so on till the borders ol the County are reach ed. Everybody's head is turned about im- i migration. We have gone crazy about ; "Northern Capital." The newspapers ; have made fools of us. We all believe \ that we can't turn a hand without the , aid of a Yankee. This is most insuffer able nonsense. We, for one, are sick , ot it. True, we have little money; but that money properly applied would yield fruit. If we wait for Yankees, they | vill get the first fruit and deserve it. We | phall return to this subject. i WAR. — ] The Washington Correspondent of the Xew York World says the new British Minister will be presented to l'resident Johnson Tuesday (4th) and if I a speedy and and Mtlsfoctdry response j be not made by the British Government , to the iiltimaLiiin of the Executive of , the United Status, a declaration ofwar : against Great Britain must inevitably ' ensue. \ l£7° If Judge Field did say there- ' co4*slructiou acts were iinconstitution.-- . al it can be proved that Judge Cluwa j expressed an opinion on the uthir skip; ' Slid Senator Sumner and & Co., huvo j said iv the Senate that Johnson was ( g*}lltjr and deserve* impeachment, ] PAPERS AND PERIODICALS.

The Washington correspondent of the t Baltimore Sim says it was fondly sup- « posed that the supplementary recon struction bill now pending in the Sen- > ate, and whicli is the fourth of the serf ies, would be a linality. It has bceu ' discovered, however, that the regal powers which are therein conferred up- ( on Gen. Grant can be swept away by a ' single breath of the Executive. The ' law whicli revived the grade of General ] expressly provides that the officeraap t pointed to till that position shall com- ' maud the armies of the United States j "under the direction and during the ■ pleasure of the Preside.it." By this I law, passed less than two years ago, the ! President can at any moment designate j another geueral-in-chief. The niilit.i- i ry committees ot the two houses are hard at work to devise some plan to ! meet this new difficulty, and in a lew j days we may, In the language of Fer- | nan do Wood, expect another inonstros- '< ity to be revealed to the gaze of the country. The truth is. this whole re | construction policy of Congress is very much like a leaky vessel; for every hole j that is patched up two new ones are dis covered. WEST VIRGINIA. The Winchester Times says that "the original secession of West Virginia can | only be defended as a war measure; but I notwithstanding the fraud of her incep- j tiou, and the facility with which the most inexperienced mariner iv the sea I of Constitutional law, can sail a Seven- : ty-four gun frigate through her base less pretentions to the coequal dignity of a State, we have no objection to her i people deciding their State relations for | themselves. If they—we do not mean simply the Badieal minority, who mo nopolize the suffrage, but all the people of that State—arc disposed to renounce the rich legacy which the mother of States bequeathes to her legitimate children —so be It. But Berkeley and Jetrerson belong to the great Valley of Virginia. They never did consent to the trausferof jurisdiction, and the out rage upon their citizens, which binds them to an association which they ab hor and detest, inly finds its parallel in the infamous partition of Poland." DITTREBS IK THE SOOTH. The Hlchinond Knguirer says that "the accounts of the despair oftlie whites, and of the utter demoralization of the blacks which reach us from the South, are all alike. The gloomy outlines and liHings up are all the same whether sketched on the banks ofthe Mississip pi or upon those of the Santee. Every where the negroes aie armed, and re fuse to work. Everywhere bauds of predaceous blacks are sweeping the neglected plantations of everything which canabe made useful either as plunder or for food. Live stock of all sorts are stolen, corn-cribs and cotton pens are pillaged, vegetables are stolen from the garden, aud the bare land is left for the unhappy planter. FENIAN ANTI-RENTERS. The Fenians of Ireland have adopted a new method of annoying the English people. They refuse to pay rent for laud, and their organization is so per fect that it is impossible to carry out the ordinary process of law in such cases.— Bailiffs are hunted like wolves, and if offenders arc arrested they are prompt ly acquitted by Fenian juries. As for sales of seized property, no man bids for his neighbor's goods. The land lords are naturally much alarmed at this new phase of popular discontent, nnd are almost in despair at the pros pect?. MILLIONAIRE. Mr. Crawshay, the wealthiest iron ' manufacturer iv England, died some ' months ago. It was then understood that, be left an estate of four millions sterling. It now turns out to be near- i er seven millions, or $35,000,000. Ills ' youngest son took two millions under < the will, but was also left residuary leg- < iifcp, probably under the supposition i that afrer paying the other legacies no • very large sum would be left. Curious- I ly enough, however, ou the final settle- . i in. ni it is found that he actually comes > into possession of a million more, and ' he is; therefore ..without doubt, the rich- I est "younger sou" in.EnglH.ndx perhaps < lv the world, for he begins life with an ■ actual capital of fifteen millions of dol- i bus. t BILLY POLLUD TO MOZIB ADDUatS.

STRANGE 6TOBY. , Among the victims of the Angola disaster was Mr. J. P. Ilayward, who ' was in the employ ofthe railroad com- ' liany as their ngent. at that place. The ' Vmsvllle (Ohm) Advertiser gives an ' account of a strange dream—for the J correctness of whicli it vouches—which M.\ ID had just six months before he lost his life. It says : He dreamed he wns away from home in a desert, when suddenly he heard a terriftlc crash, saw a bright light which ' -.Cjmed to reach to heaven, and heard ' screams and yells ofthe most frightful ] character. On looking about him lie saw a personage—a monk lie thought— ' and he enquired where all this noise ! came from. "From hell,'' answered J the monk. The dreamer asked, "What does it menu V* The monk replied.— ' "It means that you must Instantly '■ die !" Mr. H. then told the monk that ' he was not prepared to die, and begged for further time. The monk finally said, "Your prayer is granted ; you < may live on earth six months longer; I at the expiration of that time you shall * die .'" Just I hen Mr. Hay ward was I awakened by his wite who was stunned '• at his actions, he was sitting up in bed ' and being greatly agitated. The dream < made a great impression on Ills mind • and was the subject of frequent eouver- i mii iiin witli his friends for a time but < at length it passed from bis mind. Ou > precisely the last day ot the six months < he purchiised a life insurance ticket for t $8,000, took passage on tne ill-fated ' train for Bulfalo and was numbered * among the victcms at Angola." S \I~ZF The National Inteligencer has an article in which it contends that 1 "nearly nil the otllcesare tilled by the 1 confidents of the President* immediate I olltcicl advisors, who work hard to t sustain the Badieal party In all the < States of the North." and it argues 1 that "the cunip should be cleared of C .neutrals, open enemies, and especially ' of spies." This policy it supports iv « view of the present existing state of t affairs—not iv» a general rule—and the 'I crisis wlh«li- is impending. But the I Senate an tithe recent law of Congress » it is said, prevents the application of j 1 the pro-postal mi e , to a great extent. > *»*■«'WJ US) »Sn_P »S„»Jrl^wnj___p^M___W%M_C»__»^nnnnnnnn»^n^_____B__ BANKETJPTCT. For the inlorniation of all concernad it is stated that the following list of c* einptions is made for the benefit of those who avail themselves of the provisions ofthe bankrupt Law. The necessary household and kitchen furniture, and such other articles und necessaries of such bankrupt as the said assignee shall designate aud sot apart, having reference Hi the amount to the family, condition and circumstances of the bankrupt, but altogether not to ex ceed iv value, in any case, the sum of live hundred dollars. And also the wearing apparel of such bankrupt and that ot hi* wife and chil dren. And the uniform, arms and equip ments of a,iv person who is or has been a soldier in t ho militia or in the service ofthe United States: Ami such other property an now is, or hereafter shall be exempted from at tachment, or seizure, or levy on execu tion by the laws ofthe Unlbd States : Ami such other property not included in the foregoing exceptions as is exemp ted from levy and sale upon execution or otht-i process; or order of any court, by tho laws of the State in which the bankrupt has his domicile at the time of the commencement of the proceedings iv bankruptcy, to an amount not ex ceeding that allowed by such State ex emption laws in force in the year eigh teen hundred and sixty four. Under the exemption of the State laws the bankrupt is entitled to still further benefit, but notwithstanding, many persons, we believe, are prevent ed from goinjr into bankruptcy In con Sequence of tlie expense unending the step. The better way to do beyond doubt. Is for every man who is unable to pay his debts, and who sees but little prosjiect of so doing at an early date, to compromise with his creditors and free himself fioin the incubus upon him.— Should his creditors decline to release him, then, in self-defence, he can resort to the Bankrupt Law.

A correspondent of (he London News writes from Florence : '•I recollect being greatly amused sonic yen is ago at the astonishment and dismay ofnu elderly country-woman, who having conic to Florence to enjoy the benellts of a mild and sunny clime, was terribly taken lawk by the specta cle presented itself to her gaze, in the morning after her arrival, she looked forth from her .windows iv the Grand C.rettagua ou the Dung Arno find tho first sight that met her eyes was a par ty of Auglo-Floriiitiiies skating away most vigorously on the glitering and frozen stream. "Add it is for this,', she ruefully exclaimed, 'that I have left Aberdeenshire'.' A like disen chantment bus fallen to the lot of those countrymen and countrywomen whom the hope ot soft Favonian breezes has tliisycnr attracted to the south. Snow high in the streets—snow interupting allruilway comuuication —snow keep ing imprisoned all over the country those members of families who have gone to spend the New Years day un der the paternal roof—snow retarding ministerial combinations, and keeping (Jenoral Mennbrea fretting for the ar rival of the letters which shall assure him that Senator This or Deputy That will support his reconstituted cabinet —newspaper editors ut their wit's end because not a single post from North ern ltally (and consequently from all Abrthern Europe,) came hi for three days—such Is the state to which we are all reduced by the coldest January that for many a year has chilled and benum bed Florcnc!," LIONESS AND HEtt YOUNG There arc few in the city that do not recollect the lioness in the circu- of Messrs Thayer unci _vbyes. which was cxibited together with two lions, 8! Hie close of every performance. A few days ago the lioness gave birth to two line whelps, and at present there Is ev ery prospect of raising 'them They are very lively ;ind the mother shows tor thoin the greatest affection and offers no objeciion to her keeper, Prof. White, taking them iv his hands. They have been placed ill secure cages, together with the two lions, iv scperute apart ments in the building No. 106 Balti more street, near Ilolliday, where they will be on cxibitiou to-day. The young ofthe lioness are tlic first ever bt'iu in this country which gave promise of liv ing and they arc a great curiosity.— They have very little ofthe appearance of their dam, but they are beautifully striped with blatk on the head aud body. —Baltimore Gazeltc. |t__3»The New York correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger writes, on the HOthas follows: '•There is quite a stir iv political circles over a letter which Commodore Vaudcrbllt has just addressed to Mr. A. T. Stewart, giving notice that he "Vnudeibilt,'" bus with drawn from the Cooperlnstitute move ment, which had for its object the nom ination offreneral Oraut to the Presi dency. The reason assigned for this unexpected defection is the course the General saw tit to adopt iv regard to the reinstatement ol Mr. .Stanton in the War Department. The letter is very sharp, and there Is a loud call tor Mr. Stewart to make it public." Another portion of the Radical program* is nowannounced. It is to puss a law by Congress, "to enforce the guarantee clause of the Constitu tion —giiarenteeiugu republican form of government to each State—'•witli a provision compelling every State that changes its form of government to sub mit the suine to tlic representatives of all the other Stales which are part ners iv this government for rutiMention. This it is said "will nationalise the United States of America." Verily it will anil with a vengeance. This pro ject is elaborately recommended iv the Washington Chronicle. What uexf FRED DOUGLAS TO HIS PEOPLE In a late speech at Akron, Ohio, Fred Douglas, addressing the colored people told l hem that Iho government eman cipated the negroes as a matter of pul ley, and not iroia suy christian mo tive or light or justice, and that they bad 1.0 more reason to feel thankful to tW government tor tluiir freedom than bad the Hebrews t» feel thankful lo Pbaroah for their deliverance from bon dage. Douglas said that although it was possible that.nnturaly the colon! men Were equal to the whites, they were not so practically, and that they must rise through their own exertions to a much higher degree of inteligonce be fore being allowed all the rights and priviliges ofthe white man. He added thattlicv were now on probation, and if fifteen veins hence found them as they are liow, it would be almost impos sible for them to make any advance ment. Perhaps this advice from an inteligcnt colored man limy he recieved by his race as the counsel of a friend. It is certain that the competition against which they will have to contend for the mcans'of support must Increase by einniigration every year, whilst they can rely on no such addition to their numbers, but must make up for the in equality by increased efficiency. The ignorant ami degraded ot whatever color must a) way* lie subject to supe rior intellgeuoe, and it behooves the colored people to reflect whether those are their true friends who would plunge them into polities without pre vious preparation and training, or those who would help to lit them as far as may be accomplished for the discharge here after of such duties as may devolve up on th.'in. GOOD BERTH FOR A CORRESPONDENT ■ Dr. H. Btisscll has accepted, says an exchange, the most responsible and iu tlneulial outside position connected with the London Times, and is about to proceed to I'arls ns its own regular correspondent. Iv his uew character Dr. Kussell will be able to influence the foreign po'iey ofthe empire to some extent, tor the British press takes Its tone ou many questions from the selec ted extracts,'ns well as the remarks on continental affairs which have, as a gen eral rule, characterized the Farts letters ofthe Thunderer. The Times' propri etors conduct their Paris office upon a scale ol great magnificence. The sala ry is twenty thousaud dollars iv gold, besides a splendidly furnished house, carriages, wines, servants, and secreta ries, lv its saloons the most celebra ted statesmen and wits of Frauce aud Europe assemble and are entertained, and the correspondent thus gleans from original source the current news ofthe day.
