From Essex-The Crops-Apathy of the People In regard to Federal Politics-Memorial Association-Monument to Confede-rate Dead.
(SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF RICHMOND TIMES.)
TAPPAHANNOCK, VA., July 28th, 1866.
My Dear Times-Here have I been rusticating for the past week, down at this delightful little old-timed Virginia village, far from the dust and heat of the city. Between sailing on the Rappahannock, the most beautiful river in the State, bathing, and enjoying the luxury of as many crabs as one can possibly demolish, time passes pleasantly indeed. To be sure, there are chances of a bilious fever or chills, but then one has the satisfaction of knowing that after all a bilious fever country is really the healthiest one, for that disease is easily managed and seems to drive out all others-typhus fevers, pleurisies and pneumonias being almost unknown. The corn crops in this and the counties bordering the river look splendid and promise an abundant yield. The wheat crop, as everywhere else, has here proved short.
It is to be regretted that at the last term of the court here a serious of resolutions, offered by Mr. Muscoe Garnett, the representative from Essex in the House of Delegates, approving of the Philadelphia Convention and proposing to take measures for representation in that body, were dropped. I understand Lieutenant-Governor Montague in a speech of some length opposed the resolutions, and that the meeting adjourned without any action whatever. The people seemed to be utterly indifferent to anything touching Federal politics. Such a court as this, were the example followed in other communities, would furnish additional arguments to the Radicals, who, if the Southern States are unrepresented at the Philadelphia Convention, will turn upon the Conservatives and say: "It is just what we told you. The Southerners will have nothing to do with you- care nothing about you or your plans." Their apathy about Federal affairs is very natural, but the people must rouse themselves from it, if they wish to save the South untold woe and further suffering. To do this we must join the Conservatives of the North. Had ay one, five years ago, prophesied our present condition, he would have been regarded as a lunatic. Were any one to say now that five years hence the South will be at the top of the wheel, doubtless the same opinion would be formed of his sanity. But it may be.
The patriotic ladies of Tappahannock have formed a Memorial Association for the purpose of raising a monument to the memory of those Confederates from the county of Essex who died in defence of their country in the late war. There were near two hundred from this county. The monument, it is estimated, will cost from $2500 to $3000, which will be raised by subscription, the success of which is ensured by the well known energy of the lady managers. Mrs. John P. McGuire is President, Mrs. Brannan, Mrs. Micou?, Mrs. Croxton and Mrs. Rowland Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Farland Treasurer, Mrs. Joseph Chinn Corresponding Secretary. The monument will be placed in the village. May success attend their noble work.
The Tornado on the Susquehanna-The Havre de Grace Bridge.
The Sun of Saturday says the bridge of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad company, at Havre de Grace, the wooden spans of which were blown off into the river by the tornado on Wednesday evening, was one of the finest specimens of bridge architecture in this country, and, next to the great English Victoria bridge, the most expensive ever erected by any corporation. Crossing the Susquehanna at a point 3,195 feet from shore to shore, thirteen spans were required. These spans rested upon piers, fourteen in number, and the magnitude of the work may be imagined when it is known that some of these piers stand in forty feet of water. The piers were commenced in 1861 and were not ready for the superstructure till October last, when the engineers began the construction of the wood work. The bridge was known as the Howe truss, each arch consisting of four ribs, eight by nine inches, making, with the interstices, a beam of thirty-seven and a half inches deep. The traces and girders connecting and strengthening each span made a huge mass of timber, sufficient in appearance to resist almost any amount of pressure. There were twelve of these immense spans, each two hundred and fifty feet in length, while the draw was one hundred and ninety feet in length. All the spans, with the exception of one to the west of the draw, were in place, and the unfinished one was rapidly approaching completion when the storm occurred.
What is most remarkable of the storm is the fact that the little steamer Port Deposit was but a short distance above the bridge when the wind struck it, and those on board only felt a strong breeze. Frail, temporary structure erected on the rafts and moored near the bridge were left entirely unharmed by the wind.-Hanging sign boards on poles at the water's edge, and dilapidated frame buildings escaped unhurt, whilst the immense structure, built as strong as it was supposed wood and iron could make it, was almost in an instant lifted up, and falling into the water, sundered. The storm was one of the most singular ever experienced in this country.
GALLOWS LITERATURE. - Last Tuesday a young man from Georgia shot and killed a citizen of Lexington named Lucas. The Lynchburg News gives the facts of the case: "A Mr. Pettigrew sent his little son to the Express office in the town to attend to some business, and the youth returned to his father and told him that he had been roughly treated by the agent. Mr. Pettigrew then went himself to the office, and some words passed between Mr. Bunch, the agent, and himself, which were about to lead to a fight, but bystanders interfered and separated the parties before any blows were passed.
"Shortly after the difficulty, a young man named Ellis, from Griffin, Georgia, met Mr. Welch Lucas on the street, and speaking of the fight, remarked to him that he would liken, bove all things, to see a regular old Virginia knock-down. Lucas replied by saying that he supposed he (Ellis) could be gratified, and started toward him. Ellis ordered him to stop, telling him if he continued to advance he would shoot him, at the same time presenting his pistol.- Lucas, however, did not heed the threat and kept on advancing, when Ellis fired twice, the first ball passing around the breast and shattering the bone of the left arm, the second ball passing through the lungs. Mr. Lucas lingered in great pain until Thursday evening, when he died.
"After firing the second shot, and seeing his victim fall, Ellis ran off and hid himself in a house near by, into which he was pursued, and arrested, and is now in jail. It is stated that he has been in Lexington for some time, as an applicant for a cadetship in the Military Institute, but had been rejected by the Superintendent. It is also said that there are some grounds to believe that he is insane, his conduct both since and prior to the affray tending to such a conclusion."
THE CHOLERA AT TYBEE, GEORGIA.-The Savannah News of Thursday says cholera was on the increase among the troops at Tybee, thirteen deaths having occurred and there being then twenty cases. Since the arrival of the troops fifty have died of the disease, and fifteen or twenty more have perished in the marshes in attempting to escape to the mainland. A letter from Bulloch county, Georgia, mentions two cases of cholera at that place, the patients being refugees from Tybee. One case had resulted fatally.
A telegram was received in Washington on Friday from Major-General D. E. Sickles, in which he states that the newspaper reports concerning the cholera on Tybee Island are rather exaggerated. He states, further, that all is being done to arrest the progress of the disease and to relieve the sufferers that can be done under the circumstances.
A dandy negro from Chicago was arrested last Thursday in Mobile for swindling negroes by means of a new variety of the drop game. He had a shot bag nearly full of new copper or brass coin, somewhat resembling ten-dollar gold pieces. His game was to pretend to find it on the street, and to sell it, or a portion thereof, to some unsophisticated negro for greenbacks. He was arrested in his first attempt.
James A. Rineheart was followed from Cincinnati by detectives, and arrested in Wheeling on Thursday, on the charge of passing counterfeit greenbacks. Twenty-five hundred dollars in counterfeit money was found on him. He is said to have been a wholesale dealer.
A man was recently arrested in Iuka?, Tennessee, with $100, in counterfeit Treasury notes upon his person. He bought off the sheriff for $5,000, but was subsequently re-arrested by the sheriff of Bourbon county, Kentucky, on a charge of murder.
A CHILD'S WISH
On her grave-stone these words were carved, "Lifted Higher." Rural New Yorker.
When the sunlight fell with radiant glory
Over her little bed,
And the wind, with gentle fingers, moved
The tresses on her head,
With fainter voice she whisp-red, while
The angel wings drew nigher,
And loving ones had hushed their sobs -
"Oh, Father, lift me higher."
But her dim sight looked yet further
Than our weeping eyes could see,
Far beyond the lands of sunsets,
Into Immortality.
She heeded not the crimson mist
That crowned the hills with fire,
But only breathed in gentle tones,
"Dear Father, lift me higher."
Yet while she spoke the color died
From out the evening sky,
And twilight clad in ashy robes,
Passed slow and silent by:
And Death had shut the door of Life,
Smitten the golden lyre,
And answered the sweet childish wish,
But to be "lifted higher."
Father, we thank Thee! for the child
Treads now the eternal hills -
Her foot-teps falter no beside
The ever-flowing rills.
Lifted above all grief and care,
From trials borne away,
She has exchanged the twilight gloom
For never-ending day.

ELECTION NOTICES
TO THE CITIZENS OF RICHMOND.
In response to inquiries which have been made of me, I beg leave to say, respectfully, that if it be the pleasure of the citizens of Richmond to elect me to the Legislature to fill the existing vacancy, I will serve them cheerfully, and to the best of my ability.
I am sensible of my inadequacy to supply the place of Mr. Graftan, whose resignation in common with all who respect virtue and talent, I sincerely regret: and it is due to candor that I should say I fear the partial favor of my friends who have called upon me has led them to over estimate my capacity to serve them.
Public life is altogether new to me - neither my tastes nor my aspirations have ever taken that direction. And I honestly think that when the material interest of the city and State are so deeply involved in legislation, the people should select their most tried and experienced citizens for the public service, and I shall gladly give place to any one they may choose.
But if those among whom I have lived from my birth, and to whom I am under so many obligations, shall honor me by their choice, I will devote to their service, with earnest zeal, all the energies I possess.

MONTGOMERY WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
THE MONTGOMERY WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS COMPANY, being unable for the present season to offer regular accommodations to the public, and yet feeling anxious to gratify those who may desire to spend the summer in the mountains, have determined to rent the cottages or rooms singly, as may be preferred.
Persons visiting this place will have to furnish their rooms and fare.
There is a large HOTEL, with commodious dining room, parlors, ball room and a large
kitchen, which it is expected some one will rent and supply the visitors with their meals.
The medicinal qualities of the SPRINGS are too well established to require any comment. The healthfulness of the location, comfort of the cottages and beauty of the place render it attractive to the healthy and cheerful to the sick.
Those desiring rooms will communicate with the Secretary at Blacksburg, Va.
The Springs are in Montgomery county, Va., eighty miles west of Lynchburg, and can be reached on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, except one and a half miles from the Big Tunnel (the station) to the Springs.

WHEAT DRILLS! WHEAT DRILLS!
Farmers in want of the BICKFORD & HUFFMAN IRON CYLINDER GRAIN DRILL for this Fall's seeding, whether with or without QUANO ATTACHMENT, should send in their order early, as the supply will be limited and the demand very large.
As to the great advantage of drilling wheat, in security from winter killing, economy of seed and time, and uniformity in the growth of grain, there are but few unbelievers among practical farmers. In the use of FERTILIZERS the advantage of DRILLING is still more decided. GET THE BEST. GET THE BICK FORD & HUFFMAN. We warrant it to be the best in use
