WILMINGTON. N. C. SATURDAY. MAY 11. 18C7. Correnpoiidence of the Journal of Commerce Studies In the Shenandoah Valley. "Winchester, Va., April CO, 18G7. Over tho thirty-two miles of valley from Harper's Terry to this pluco little has been done, except fy tho kindly hand of Naturo, to repair tho ravaged of war. Tiles of brick, apparently lying just whero they foil, mark the sites of tho Armory and work shops at the Terry.- On tho lull abovo tho villago aro tho skeletons of two Btono churches. Trom tho valley you enn bco through their burncd-out windows to the blno sky beyond a weird and picturcsqno effect. There are curious things here, which aro euro to be pointed out to you. Une is tho ironle of Washington winch a owcrful imagination descries among tho angular rocks, near the top of the Alary- land heights. I looked anxiously for it, nnd to obu'go my cicerone, confessed that I thought I raw it. Another standing object ol interest is tuo noketty old engino house. tho point Wappui of John Urown's raid. At the Terry, and at Charlcstown, some miles up tho valley, whero he was executed, you hear quite n much of John Brown as of Khoridun. Time has softened his memory, nnd tho people speak of him more kindly than of hoiuo of tho later raiders, lhnro is not much at Harper's Terry now to tempt a traveler to (stay, unless ho has leisure for a trip to tho frowning heights across the l'otoinac, and tho bhenandoah, and back of the town. The game of long taw played between tho batteries on Maryland aud London hciprhta mnst have been noisy and exciting. The chill of the April wind, lik the eclwing rattln of the cars, seems to be multiplied u hundred fold in theso gorges. In summer, when the sombre crags are covered with foliage, I should like to climb them ; but now let me button np my ovcr co.it, and catch the train for Winchester. As m o ascond tho valley and reach the open country, we get into warmer air. Tho jHiach and applo trees aro in full bloom ; the wheat is np thrco or four inches ; the trees (except the sycamore) aro in leaf. Tut through this mask of greenery and llowcrs wo sco always the unhealed gashes of war. Tho stone mills which onco dotted this beautiful valley aro burned down, and tho pooido have not tho heart to rebuild them. Nothing fits more gracefully into a landscape than ft mill, with its great wheel in slow motion. Tho foam and sparklo of tho waters, and tho sleepy hum of the burr- ton es are delightful to the senses. lut a mill in ruins is tho saddest of objects, be canso it is a typo of war in its most fero cious aspect. I oris, stockades, "or tempo earthworks, the contour of which places, soon to be replaced by iron Lead pieces dipped in zino, and practically indestructible. Winchester is especially interesting ' to tho Northern tourist, because it is one of the oldest and was one of the most aristo cratic towns in Virginia. Nowhere else, not even at Richmond, did the proud blood of the genuine Virginia stock assert itself more loftily. When the war broke out all tho wealth, fashion and intellect of Win chester sided with the Booth. Twenty-one of her young men were killed at the first battle of Bull ltun, and nearly every other battle in the State made mourning in her homes. She was at once the shield and the t irgct of the contending forces in all the great struggles for the possession of tLe yilley. y.ranty-iix time3 Winchester wi s taken and retaken. In the morning the rebels and in the evening the federals would be in tranquil possession. While gray cavaliers were galloping at one end of the long street which runs thiough the town, horsemen in blue would be scainpei ing out of tho other, and rice verm. The register at Taylor s Hotel shows alternate pages rilled with the names of noted offi cers, Federal and Confederate, who hap-iH-ncd for tho timo being to command the beds nnd rations of that hoeterly. If con stancy is a thing to praise in war as in love, the people of Winchester have some justifi cation in claiming that they wero true to their unlucky Hag. They sacrificed every thing to tho cause .of secession, and havo become from tho richest and most prosper ous jopulation of the samejsizo in the State, to tho poorest and neediest. Ono example was mentioned to me where a wealthy gen tleman as late as tho fall of 1864, when the most sanguine Southerners wero beginning to despair, sold his last real estate, and in vented the proceeds in Confederate bonds, which six months later were worthless. , A moro quiet, subdued and patient ieo ple, under their sufferings, I havo never seen. One of tho most remarkable things it would bo ominous under other circum stancesis their taciturn demeanor. One evening, in the office of Taylor's Hotel, I carefully observed the bearing and conver sation of the scores of old men and young men in gray (the ' remains, carefully pre served, of their Confederate uniforms.) There was little said upon any subject, ana that in a low voice, but politics, past, pres ent, or to come, was not hinted at. Most of the loungers stood or sat and smoked their pipes and stared into vacancy. whom chloroform was administered prepar atory to tyin the external iliac artery. The fourth case occurred in St. Marv's Hos pital,' London. It was that of a stableman, i to whom chloroform was administered to facilitate the reduction of a dislocated thnmb. Printing. Railroads.

GENERAL DIRECTORY. they were ready to be drawn into conver sation. and, if asked, expressed themselves freely and courteously upon all subjects. Nothing surprises a Northern man more than the entire freedom of these people from malice towards the government In this resiect, as in the reports of their feel ings towards the freedman, they aro grossly misrepresented and generally misunder stood. They accept the situatrom with a degree of resignation which I could not have expected among a race of men so sen sitive and high strung. But under this surface- of composure there is an apparent anxiety, such as one observes among the inhabitants of regions which are often de vastated by earthquakes. They are afraid that tho worst shock has not vet come. If the people of this valley could but receive from some authoritative source an assur ance that tho Radical party will not devise some new punishment for them beyond the Keconstrnction Bui, 1 think they would approve that measure cordially, and get to work under it in good faith. Till then the indust ry of the Shenandoah Valley is under a blight more deadly and paralyzing than all that the weevil could inflict on its wheat fields. Bnt I find that this subject grows under ray pen, and 1 close with an anecdote clipped from one of the local papers, which may not have fallen under your observa tion.

There she purchased a valley.

Many years ago there was a clock made by one Droz, a mechanic of Geneva, which was renowned for its ingenious construc tion. : The clock was so made as to be ca pable of performing the following move ments : I here was exhibited on it a negro, a shepherd and a upg. When the deck struck the shepherd played six tunes on his flute, and the dog approached and fawned upon him. The clock was exhibited to the King of Spain, who was greatly debghted with it i 4. , . : V The gentleness of my dog," said Droz, " is his least merit If your majesty touch ono of tuo apples wnicu you see in tho shepherd's ' basket, you will admire tho fidelity of the animal. 'I ho King took an apple and the dog fiew at his hand, and barked so loud that the King a dog, which was in the same room during tho exhibition, began to bark also ; at which the superstitious courtiers, not doubting that it was an affair of witchcraft, hastily left tlio room, crossing themselves as they went out. Having desired the min ister of marine, who was the only one who dorod to stay behind, to ask the negro what o'clock it was, tho minister asked, but re ceived no rtply. Droz then observed that tho negro hail not yet upon which tho minister repoated the que tion in French, and tno DiacK immediately answer od hini. At this new prodigy the nr ra il oes of tho minister forsook him, and he retreatod precipitately, declaring that it must bo tho work of a supernatural being. It la probablo that in the perform aneo of theso tricka, Droz touched certain springs in the mechanism, although that is not mentioned in any of tho accounts of his clock.
