McLEAN ROZIER CO.. After a long spell of spring time weather, we are having a taste of winter today, and some of our neighbors, after waiting several weeks, are gladly taking advantage of the opportunity to kill their hogs, and lighten up on their corn cribs and bams. The Fork will be pretty well supplied with home made meat this year, judging from the number of nice hogs which are being slaughtered, Mr, Dougald Stewart leading the van with a pig whose weight was 395 pounds. The farmers hereabouts bavei made a lively start toward a new crop, stalk-cutting and plowing being generally in evidence, and the purchase and price of fer tilizers a common theme of con versation. The 'Squire who has been seri ously ill since our return from South Carolina is slowly improv ing, and is now able to walkout on the farm Mr. McLaurin, whom .we left quite sick, is also convalescing.

HameiO Mr. David Stubbs, an old Con federate veteran, is at this; time very sick, and has never been robust since he followed the for tunes oi his country. These old soldiers, in their weakness and innrmiiies, oowea aown witn the burden of years, 'and the tie ry trials and struggles for a liveli hood, amid the wreck and devas tation following our defeat, appeal very tenderly to every pairioti6 heart;" and I would thatHneir declining years might be filled with every comfort and luxury and that no wish of their hearts be ungratified. I see recently an article in a Georgia paper from which I learn that the graves of Northern pris oners who died and were buried at Andersonville during the war, hae been marked by headstones of marble, some of which bear epitaphs of a most obnoxious and humiliating nature to the South, with accusations against us of ill treatment, starvation, etc, This is indeed a poor way of obliterating sectional feeling, be sides being a great injustice to a people whose wn soldiers in the field were suffering from hunge and - cold, and their prisoners received as good fare as our brave men, who were exposed to the rigors of Virginia winters. bare foot, often, fend with no cloturng to protect their sbiver- ng bodies, save the tattered remnants of their old gray uni forms.

We were attracted by a remark a wise and distinguished gentle man made at the box supper last Tuesday night, where he looked at more than a score of the beau tiful boxes that had been made by the delicate hands of the beau tiful ladies. He said, "They were made out of better stuff than the men- ' tie meant it o.y tne way he bought boxes and ate of the contents. The box supper a suc cess, yes.

C. me Subscribe-For Roniuii. no patience with this charge from the Northern people, because I remember well how time and atrain our Confederate government strongly solicited an exchange of prisoners and how toward the closiog of the war, these overtures were steadily re fused by the Northern govern ment, for two reasons, their forces were being constantly re plenished by aliens and a more potent reason, one of our noble boys counted for ten such as theirs. I am surprised that the plucky State of Georgia ever al lowed such opprobrious memo rials to be erected upon her soil. On the other hand, I am well acquainted with the inhuman treatment inflicted upon oar boys, some of them my own kin d red, while-confined a.,Elmj ra, N. Y., and within the damp and dreary walls of Fort Delaware Laok of food and clothing was no excuse in that case,' for they of the North had an abundance, but only the cruel desire to decimate our ranks. I might try to oblit erate from my mind these fearful memories, and let the wounds heal over, but ever an4 anon something similar to the above bobs up, my Southern blood boils, and a wave of indignation sweeps over me.
