as bought for $20 per acre two years ago, sold at $15.--Some of our people are very much troubled to know that they are not worth more than two-thirds as much as the Commissioner of the Revenue put them down for last spring. Money is so scarce that wealthy men are nearly as destitute of it as beggars. If any one owes you anything, it is folly to hope to collect it in money. There has lately been some interest in religious matters in this county. At Berea and Mechanicsville some twenty persons have been added to the Baptist churches. I saw Dr. C. R. Dickinson baptize seven young men last Saturday, and Dr. Quarles expects to baptize ten young ladies next Sunday. There are five preachers in this county who were formerly physicians. I incline to think that it would be well if in other counties some of those who are physicking the body were prepared to enter this sacred calling. Several families from this county are removing to Texas, hoping to better their condition.

iving along the railroads, to aid in taking care of the wounded and sick. You have a large number of sick soldiers in Richmond, at an expense to the Government, who would be as well cared for it distributed among the kind people in the country. The crops are very fine and there will be a vast deal of corn and wheat for sale from this region. People are economizing in almost every particular, and thus adapting themselves to the extraordinary times in which we live. Large numbers of hogs are being raised, and I hear of some who have been offered 10 cents per pound for pork, but declined, expecting more. There has lately been a very interesting revival of religion at a church in Fluvanna, not far from here. Rev. C. R. Dickinson, the pastor, has baptized seventeen, and the interest continues to spread. There is much solemn religious feeling among many churches, not withstanding the times are so unfavorable for attending to the things which relate to the soul and eternity.
